Chapter 357: Chapter 275: Golden Palanquin (First update) _1
In Jiang Hui’s view, using the sentient beings of the realm as a guide is the perfect way to consolidate his disciples and expand his omnipresence, as well as the most time-tested method.
Especially, the sentient beings from the realm are all famous prodigies above the Ten Lands. Their words would henceforth make people more convinced, and imperceptibly give others a deep impression of the phrase “Lu Village Forbidden Land.” This approach is both subtle and not too abrupt.
Although the whole process is somewhat complex, it also has considerable safety.
In fact, in addition to this method, Jiang Hui has another alternative in mind, that is, issuing a Divine Decree, just like he did in the summer realm.
With the Divine Decree as the command, it is fully conveyed to all the surrounding continents, its brilliance is dazzling, just like the surging sun in the Nine Heavens.
With his current power, under the Divine Decree, countless creatures within a wide radius will sense it. By then, the renown of Liu Village will be directly known to everyone.
However, this method is realistically a last resort, only used when necessary when no other better avenues exist, Jiang Hui will use this means.
Because although doing so is more direct and straightforward, its drawbacks are also quite obvious and not few.
Firstly, in this way, he would undoubtedly put himself and Liu Village directly in the open, causing concern among the hierarchs of the Immortal Dao.
Those sentient beings who have lived for countless tens of thousands of years consider the changes of human kingdoms to be nothing more than child’s play. For humans, the rise and fall of five thousand years can be gathered into a poignant and heavy history. But for those beings, perhaps it’s only the span of a blink.
Having survived for such a long time, they are undoubtedly astonishingly astute. Although Jiang Hui does not fear those hierarchs, it becomes a problem if they combine forces and block the road to Liu Village in secret.
If he becomes aware of it, he can directly confront them, bearing grudges. With his current strength, as long as the beings are not above Evading One Realm, he can completely suppress them.
But if he doesn’t know, he’s being deceived blind.
After all, the Upper Realm is not the same as the Lower Realm. Its area is too vast and boundless, encompassing Three Thousand Continents, where each continent’s territory equals the sum of several realms of the Lower Realm. Even if he fully releases his Five Senses, he can only cover a few continents at most.
Most importantly, some Immortal Daos possess profound foundations. Although their most potent public strength is only the Void Path Realm, they hide their true power in silence.
After all, the place of immortality has been passed down for infinitely long periods, washed out by the turmoil of times.
Second, this is, after all, the Upper Realm, far beyond the comparison of the Lower Realm. There are numerous immortal and remarkable Taoist traditions, Divine Spirits are everywhere, rejuvenating celestials are falling, and almost all the significant prodigies have been gobbled up by those Immortal Daos and old hermit sects. The effect of issuing a Divine Edict may be negligible. If the first attempt is not effective, the following ones will naturally be even less effective.
Therefore, if one wants to make a name for oneself with a Divine Edict, one must choose the most suitable and appropriate time so that the function can be fully exploited and achieve the desired effect.
…
…
At this moment, a thousand miles away from the forbidden land of Liu Village, between some rugged and steep rocks, a whirlwind suddenly whistles, the ground’s sand and stones rise, and several figures rush over from afar.
It was none other than the group of the purple-haired youth. After escaping from the Land of Mist, they all used everything they had learned throughout their lifetimes, even employed many secret techniques for escape, and dashed out thousands of kilometers in an instant.
However, even though they had escaped from the Land of Mist, the purple-haired youth and the others still looked fearful, their faces pale, vigilantly watching their surroundings. Even the young man in the Golden Palanquin was still apprehensive, fearing a sudden appearance of that grey and eerie creature.
If their familiar friends saw this scene, they would undoubtedly be dumbfounded. Whether it’s the purple-haired youth or the two-armed Celestial youth, both are famous top prodigies in the Ten Lands. They are on par with First Generation beings, and it is rare to see such expressions and attitudes on them.
“What are those monsters? How has this woman never seen them before or heard of them?! They’re such strange and terrifying creatures!”
After a long while, the beautiful young woman speaks, her bosom heaving, her complexion was already exceptionally smooth and white, like mutton-fat jade. At this moment, it was even more so. White to the point of being eerie, like a layer of putty powder, it appeared to be extremely frightened.
“Who knows? We were only born in this era, but the history of the Three Thousand Continents is long and profound, from ancient times to the present, it is the longest period. Even the oldest histories can’t encompass everything, even the things from the Ancient Era are now blurred. The existence of beings that you and I don’t recognize is very common. I’ve seen several types whose names I can’t even pronounce, there’s nothing strange about that!”
The purple-haired youth glances at the woman in secret and complains. He dares not look at her directly but uses his peripheral vision to take a quick look at her.
In the Golden Palanquin,
The young man furrowed his eyebrows, not agreeing with the words of the purple-haired youth.
Since he was a child, he was well-read on ancient and modern subjects, especially after being shut in the Golden Palanquin, he spent even more time reading ancient books. He was confident in having some knowledge about most of the ancient creatures.
He is very sure that it is a new species that he has never heard of or seen before, and its existence is not even recorded in the historical records. It is very likely not a legacy from the Ancient Era.
The youth lightly lifts his head but does not speak. Instead, he looks up at the beautiful young woman, his star-like eyes shining, revealing no change.
Though he has always been lurking inside the Golden Palanquin, he understands the true identity of that woman better than anyone else.
This Golden Palanquin came from the Boundary Sea and arrived mysteriously. Regardless of ominous signs or opportunities, no one can see through it until now, even the ancestors from his force cannot deduce it.
However, after more than ten years of refinement, he has some understanding of this cryptic artifact, besides being incredibly hard, it has a function that no one else knows, which he discovered not long ago, that is, Breaking Illusion.
He can use this Golden Palanquin to see any creature’s past and present life. Even though they are only very fragmented and incomplete images, if carefully interpreted could lead to gains.
As early as their entry into the Land of Mist, he used the Golden Palanquin to reproduce the past and present life of that beautiful young woman.
The woman’s previous life was also a giant snake, but she was a real powerhouse. Her bloodline was rare and dominated the ancient and modern times, comparable to the existence of hierarchs from the Immortal Dao in the Void Path Realm. The Divine Territorial Boundary was indeed terrifying, but it probably didn’t count for much in her eyes. She must be hiding something.
But as for what kind of scheme it is, as long as it’s not related to him, the youth didn’t want to bother, and he was too lazy to bother.
At this moment, all he wants to do is to investigate the Land of Mist thoroughly.
