Chapter 1694: Heavenly Thearch’s Successor

Hoo-hoo!

After Dao Nu and Dao Leng left, Jiang Yi’s whole body went soft. If it wasn’t that there were a few elders present, Jiang Yi probably would have sunk into the ground. He had almost died a few times, and the shock was too much for him. Fortunately, Heavenly King Wei had hacked off his own arm and had saved Jiang Yi’s life.

“Big Brother!”

Everyone surrounded Heavenly King Wei as he gently sent out some energy and turned his bloody arm on the ground into a fine powder. He closed his eyes to channel his energy as he then spoke. “Second Brother and Jiang Yi are to stay; the rest are dismissed.”

Heavenly King Mu looked at Jiang Yi but didn’t say anything as he brought the remaining Heavenly Kings and left. Heavenly King Wei headed straight into a side hall nearby as Heavenly King Yun gestured at Jiang Yi and said, “Let’s speak inside.”

Jiang Yi wiped the sweat off his face, and he followed swiftly. After entering the side hall, Heavenly King Yun activated the restrictions as Jiang Yi bowed and gave his thanks. “Many thanks to Heavenly Kings for saving me; Jiang Yi owes you all his life.”

“Let’s not get cozy just yet.” Heavenly King Yun replied coldly. “If what you said before was false, you will still die here today.

“Talk!”

Heavenly King Yun didn’t wait for Jiang Yi’s reply as he asked, “Where did you see Heavenly Thearch’s remnant soul? Did he leave behind any instructions? Speak in detail.”

“I cannot say...”

Jiang Yi cupped his hands, gritted his teeth, and said, “I promised the Heavenly Thearch that I would not divulge any information regarding him. However, I can swear in a Heavenly Thearch Blood Oath that I have seen his remnant soul.”

“Courting death!” Heavenly King Yun roared with rage. “You dare to trick us?”

On the other side, Heavenly King Wei’s brows rose slightly. If Jiang Yi refused to say anything, his arm would have been hacked off for nothing. Would they really believe that Heavenly Thearch’s remnant soul was still in this world based on Jiang Yi’s words only? They weren’t fools.

“I wouldn’t dare to lie to you two Heavenly Kings!”

Jiang Yi was a little anxious. If he could not prove that Heavenly Thearch’s remnant soul really existed, Heavenly King Yun would probably kill him here and now.

However, he didn’t dare to take out the Fire Dragon Sword; he most certainly didn’t dare to say that Heavenly Thearch had imparted him the Nameless Divine Art. If these two Heavenly Kings were not as reliable as they seemed, Jiang Yi would die nonetheless. He had already sworn to himself that if he didn’t have the ability to protect himself, he would never divulge the Heavenly Thearch Divine Weapon or anything regarding the Nine Yang Heavenly Thearch.

Jiang Yi thought for a moment and soon had an idea. He cupped his hands and said, “My two Heavenly Kings, I can prove that I had seen the Heavenly Thearch. Please wait.”

Jiang Yi took out paper and ink from his ring as he walked briskly to a table and started to draw. His drawing skills were exceptional, and soon, an extremely life-like elder appeared on the paper.

After drawing it, he respectfully presented it to Heavenly King Yun and said, “My two Heavenly Kings, look at this painting; you would know that I am speaking the truth.”

Heavenly King Yun took the painting and glanced at it. However, his eyes grew even colder as he said mockingly, “Jiang Yi, do you really think we are idiots? There isn’t a single painting of the Heavenly Thearch in this world; could you see the statue’s face clearly? No, right? You are just drawing a random painting and expect us to believe you?”

“Uh—”

Jiang Yi was shocked. He had forgotten that no one had seen the Heavenly Thearch’s looks before. He was at a loss.

“Wrong!”

Heavenly King Wei suddenly opened his mouth and spoke, “Actually, there is a painting of the Heavenly Thearch in the Heavenly Thearch Pavilion. However, the Heavenly Thearch Pavilion had not been opened in more than three thousand years. Jiang Yi, if that painting is different from yours, you can commit suicide.”

“Heavenly Thearch Pavilion?”

Heavenly King Yun seemed to recall something as Heavenly King Wei waved his hand and said, “Second Brother, go and retrieve the painting. It is within Heavenly Thearch’s bedroom, in the second box.”

Swish!

Heavenly King Yun flashed as he disappeared from the side hall. Jiang Yi was now a little uneasy; if the two paintings were not alike, would Heavenly King Yun kill him immediately?

Heavenly King Wei closed his eyes to recuperate and kept mum as Jiang Yi waited quietly as well. In just a moment, Heavenly King Yun came back holding a jade box. Heavenly King Wei’s eyes opened as Heavenly King Yun hurriedly opened the box and took out a scroll, opening it slowly.

Buzz!

When that painting was fully revealed, all of their eyes lit up. Jiang Yi seemed to be relieved of a huge burden. Although this Heavenly Thearch in the painting was much more imposing and younger than the one Jiang Yi had drawn, the two were extremely alike; it was the same person.

Hoo-hoo!

This time, it was Heavenly King Wei and Heavenly King Yun’s turn to get agitated. Heavenly King Wei beat Heavenly King Yun into speaking as the former asked, “Jiang Yi, Heavenly Thearch really has a wisp of remnant soul left in this world? Where is it now? Could you bring us to it to listen to his instructions?”‘

“I’m sorry!”

Jiang Yi said very adamantly. “I promised the Heavenly Thearch that I will not divulge anything regarding him. However, my two Heavenly Kings can be assured that the Heavenly Thearch’s remnant soul would not dissipate in the short term. It would probably reappear soon.”

“Then, then...”

Heavenly King Yun grew anxious as he asked, “Since Heavenly Thearch’s remnant soul is still around, why has he not come forward to take control of the situation?”

“Not sure!”

“Is Heavenly Thearch’s remnant soul in the Earth Domain or the Pan Universe Small Realm? Or perhaps a mystic realm?”

“I cannot say...”

“Does Heavenly Thearch know about the Heaven Domain’s situation?”

“I’m not sure about that.”

“Did Heavenly Thearch give you any treasures? Or any pointers?”

“No, I had almost died back then, and Heavenly Thearch had saved my life.”

“Could you go to see him again and help us to convey some messages?”

“I can’t. Heavenly Thearch had said that unless I become Pseudo Thearch-Ranked, he wouldn’t see me even if I went looking for him.”

“...”

Heavenly King Yun asked a bunch of questions. However, Jiang Yi gritted his teeth and didn’t reveal anything. Without having the necessary strength to protect himself, he wouldn’t stupidly reveal anything. One could never know what someone else was thinking. The more secrets he kept now, the higher his chances of survival.

“Alright, Second Brother!”

Heavenly King Wei suddenly interjected. He sighed and said, “Jiang Yi, head back to the Flying Feather Army first. Do not head out on any missions in the next one year; the Dao Clan would definitely not let this go; if you head out on missions now, you might be ambushed.”

Buzz!

A command token appeared in his hand as he continued, “This is my personal command token. Using this, you can freely enter all the secret cultivation rooms in the Nine Yang City. Every year, you can also enter the Primitive Mystic Realm and Dao Heaven Mystic Realms three times. Take this time to cultivate; as long as you remain here, no one can touch you.”

“Many thanks, Heavenly King!”

Jiang Yi took the command token gratefully as he bowed in thanks and left. Heavenly King Yun looked lost as he saw Jiang Yi leaving. After Jiang Yi left the side hall, he immediately asked, “Big Brother, why...?”

“What’s the hurry?”

Heavenly King Wei had lost an arm and looked rather pale now. He smiled lightly and said, “Since Jiang Yi is remaining here—sooner or later, we would be able to see the Heavenly Thearch.”

“Big Brother, do you really believe Jiang Yi?” Heavenly King Yun was still a little doubtful as he said, “This lad is quite crafty; I suspect that he had withheld much information.”

“He’s not crafty; he’s smart! The more he reveals, the faster he dies, I’m afraid.” Heavenly King Wei smiled as he said, “If I guessed correctly, this lad is the Heavenly Thearch’s successor.”

“Uh?”

Heavenly King Yun was utterly stunned. Heavenly King Wei’s ring lit up as he took out a missive and passed it to Heavenly King Yun. He smiled and said, “This is Jiang Yi’s information; it’s much more detailed and complete than what Dao Leng had given you. Take a good look; if he isn’t Heavenly Thearch’s successor, do you think a mortal from the Pan Universe Small Realm could cultivate to such strength in such a short time? Dao Feng wasn’t weak at all...”

Buzz!

Heavenly King Yun’s eyes read through the missive swiftly as his eyes lit up like stars. He suddenly grew emotional as tears welled up in his eyes. He murmured, “The Heavenly Thearch’s successor? He has not forsaken us. The human race is saved! The human race is saved!”

Then, Heavenly King Wei also welled up with emotion. He sighed and said, “We might not be saved just yet, but at least we have a ray of hope.”
