Chapter 1010: Chapter 578: Patching Things Up (Double-Length)

The Tai Sha Sword circled around the Evil-Slaying Sword, appearing so jubilant, but no matter how it flew around, the Evil-Slaying Sword remained motionless, unresponsive.

The actions of the Tai Sha Sword gradually slowed, like a person in doubt.

The True Martial Bodhisattva saw this and smiled, shaking his head and sighing: "The sword spirit of the Male Evil-Slaying Sword is not here, this sword cannot be taken even if you wish to."

Chen Yi snapped his fingers, calling the Tai Sha Sword back. The latter was reluctant but obediently flew back to his palm, where he held it and deeply glanced at the Evil-Slaying Sword.

Before this, when he first heard of the Evil-Slaying Sword, he considered taking it away as a flying sword for Yin Tingxue, but now it seems best to forget about it, not to mention it’s a Male Sword.

He has always been petty, even nitpicking over these small details.

Chen Yi turned back and faced the True Martial Bodhisattva, asking, "Is it truly unspeakable?"

"It’s not that I’m unwilling, I simply cannot," sighed the True Martial Bodhisattva.

Chen Yi glanced aside at Yin Weiyin, who hesitated to speak and could only shake her head lightly. She probably guessed something, but couldn’t say, though based on the reactions of the female crown, she knew the truth was only a matter of time.

Being unable to speak does not mean unable to hint.

However, judging from their profound secrecy, the origin of this "someone" is not ordinary.

The greater the origin, the harder it is to conceal, Chen Yi slightly narrowed his eyes, realizing he would know sooner or later, already faintly suspecting...

Dragon and Tiger Mountain, revered as the Taoist Ancestral Court, who else could issue orders to them?

Above the Heavenly Court... the Four Imperial Lords, or the Three Pure Ones?

"Boy, ask about the White Lotus Sect," came the voice of the Old Saintess in the Heart Lake.

Chen Yi also intended this and asked, "Bodhisattva, the White Lotus Sect entered the tower at the Vacuum Home, is there a Divine related to them that escaped from the tower?"

"Yes, indeed there is such a one."

Receiving a definite answer, Chen Yi thought, indeed.

"This Divine is Xiang Jun, an ancient god ruling over waters here, and also..." The True Martial Bodhisattva’s gaze shifted to the Evil-Slaying Sword, hesitating before continuing: "Also the first god to guard the Evil-Slaying Sword."

The words reached his ears, Chen Yi slightly comprehended, and thus it was not surprising Xiang Jun could escape the White Tower, he similarly hadn’t fallen into an Illusion Dream.

"Did He deceive the Holy Emperor?"

Donggong Ruoshu found it somewhat incredible, having freeloaded in the court for so many days, she had somewhat sensed the extraordinariness of the Holy Emperor.

Simply put, even worms could be cleaved in two by the Holy Emperor.

"He didn’t deceive the Holy Emperor, back then, halfway through, He was stopped by the Holy Emperor, only persuading Him to let Him leave."

Before, when confirming that Xiang Jun left the tower, Chen Yi had little reaction, but now hearing He persuaded the Holy Emperor, he couldn’t help but ask: "How did He persuade the Holy Emperor?"

The True Martial Bodhisattva looked deeply at Chen Yi, hesitated, and then spoke, "Little friend, have you noticed... changes in the world?"

Chen Yi immediately thought of something, this reaction was almost instinctive, he barely squinted his eyes, nodding slightly.

"Come to think of it recently, plenty of demons have emerged in the human realm, and back then, Xiang Jun used the impending great change to persuade the Holy Emperor. You should think carefully, what great change as a water god could it be that only He could handle?"

The True Martial Bodhisattva asked and answered himself:

"He said, a pillar of heaven shall collapse, echoing the story of Gonggong crashing into Buzhou Mountain, a great calamity is upon us, and the world shall overturn."

This matter was familiar to Chen Yi, too familiar, in a past life he died repairing the heavens.

According to what the True Martial Bodhisattva said, he and the Little Fox indeed encountered numerous demons along the way, indicating chaos might have arrived earlier, and heaven might collapse sooner than in the past life.

During that time in the past life, he was but fifth-grade, now he’s third-grade, this seems... like following the pace of his advancement, Chen Yi squinted his eyes further.

"Then is Xiang Jun, as the force behind the White Lotus Sect, intending to provoke chaos, gather worship to accumulate strength for calamity, or is it... taking advantage of the turmoil to profit?"

"Probably the former, perhaps both, I do not know, I also asked the Holy Emperor, He said: ’The great calamity is imminent, some wish to patch things up, some wish to sever roots, some act deaf and dumb, some plan to sit back and enjoy the fruits...’."

Chen Yi listened, in the present world, many have predicted heaven shall open a corner, apart from others, he and Zhou Yitang are among them.

Everyone has different choices. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Thinking about this, Chen Yi could not help but squint,

Then what kind of person is his master?

......

When the figure of the Holy Emperor appeared before the crowd, whether from Dragon and Tiger Mountain or the White Lotus Sect, everyone involuntarily held their breath.

The Holy Emperor gracefully landed, and though not seen for a long time, the Fairy Cai Xia was instead extremely nervous, an unease nestled deep within being unable to disappear. Just as she intended to speak, the Holy Emperor turned back and smiled, waving his hand.

In an instant, as if swept by a mighty wind, Fairy Cai Xia and a group of immortals were sent thousands of miles away, landing atop that jade-like palace.

The Holy Emperor’s image was pure and ethereal, he then slowly turned around, the numerous followers accompanying the Hidden Crown Prince’s arrival fluctuated between hope and fear, especially Zhao Tong, the first disciple of the Heavenly Master. He, unlike others, knew at least bits and pieces from his teacher’s occasional words, aware this man had profound ties with Dragon and Tiger Mountain, even revered by the Old Heavenly Master.

Yet this person seemed... disdainful towards Dragon and Tiger Mountain.

Zhao Tong felt the Holy Emperor’s gaze over them was unfriendly, finally settling on the Hidden Crown Prince.
