Chapter 1171: Conditions
Feiyun contemplated for a while without looking at Shui Yueting. Perhaps he still hadnt gotten over his memories with her or it could be due to her intimidating saint aura.
I accept, I will try to find a way for half-demons to reach Heavens Emergence so that this branch would grow stronger. However, you must give me all of your research data regarding this matter. Feiyun said.
That is fine. Yueting said.
And I want Xuanyuan Yiyi to be my assistant. He stated his second demand.
Why is that? She asked.
Because the saintess is smart and pure, I like her. Feiyun wanted to say this but refrained from doing so.
He knew that the deity would consider him as being naive, not a hint of jealousy would be found. His feelings were certainly one-sided.
A senior told me that all things are made from three things, energy, essence, and soul. A half-demon cant open their lower dantian because they have two essences. This matter infringes upon the heavenly dao and the saintess is better than me in this aspect, I know she will be helpful. Feiyun said.
He had his reasons for wanting Yiyi to tag along. Firstly, she had a saint artifact with the ability to allow them to travel to many places.
Secondly, she had an immensely high status among the humans as the representative of Aquamoon. He would be able to visit many forbidden grounds as long as she was around. Thus, she was an all-access pass in humanoid form.
Thirdly and the most important reason, the Regal Sacred Jade told him that she had the blood of the Di.
He had been searching for this clan and now, an acquaintance turned out to be one of them. But why was her last name Xuanyuan and not Di?
Before figuring out this issue, he wouldnt give her Di Zhongs corpse and the jade. He viewed Di Zhong as a master and wanted his corpse to have a proper resting place instead of being used maliciously.
You and Yiyi are both rising stars of the human race, it is good for you to learn together. Very well, I will give her the order. Shui Yueting had no problem with this and ultimately, a saintess of Aquamoon wasnt as important as the prosperity of the half-demons.
Feiyun could tell that she only cared about the immortal path and the virtuous cause. Nothing else could stop her from achieving these goals.
Such a person was admirable, but far from being likable. She simply made everyone feel distant due to her coldness despite her flawless appearance.
She was not the Shui Yueting in his memories or the person he was searching for.
He accepted Heaven Jewel - a saint embryo with no soul yet. It was left behind by Fo Canzi specifically for Feiyun.
He wondered what was the reason behind this. Did the monk want him to turn it into a saint artifact?
He put it away and asked: May I ask where Senior Fo Canzi is right now?
There are many things you shouldnt know right now. Once you are strong enough, you will be told. She said.
While she thought highly of him in a sense, he was only worthy of being able to speak with her - nothing more.
There is something else you must keep in mind. Do not talk about the final calamity from Time Immemorial or the hidden invaders, do not get involved at all. She added.
Why?
Because your cultivation is too low. Having said that, she disappeared from space and returned to Aquamoon Paradise.
She didnt finish her sentence but he knew - youre not qualified to participate in this matter.
Being looked down on by a saint was not a shameful matter. In fact, conversing with one was an honor.
Nonetheless, Feiyun wanted to go against her words. Deep in his heart, he didnt view her as a saint so the fear and respect werent present.
***
The battle was over. Although Aquamoon won, it also suffered serious losses.
However, one of their four guardians - Life Empress - only needed half a month to heal the living essences of Aquamoon and purify the land from the blood of the demon pseudo-saints.
This reminded Feiyun of Witchcraft Goddess - their abilities seemed similar.
Life Empress came from a grand dimension, her talent is immense. The deity believes that she can become a saint in the future. Shangguan Mingqian said.
Many knew that Shangguan Mingqian was the one who invited Feiyun to Aquamoon. Thus, no one suspected anything when the two of them were strolling together.
They stood on a pavilion by the ridge of a towering peak. Feiyun observed the fog in the distance and said: The deity will order Xuanyuan Yiyi to help me with something important, this will take a while. The current Aquamoon needs a leader from the young generation, a spiritual totem. This is your chance.
She was ecstatic to hear about this opportunity. Becoming the next saintess of Aquamoon required support from others. Cultivation was not the only deciding factor.
Feiyun himself thought that she was more suitable as the leader of a sacred ground despite not being as gifted as Xuanyuan Yiyi. Most importantly, she was easier to control compared to Xuanyuan Yiyi.
He gave her ten blood pills to help with her training and the fifteen-ranked Trigram Seal as well.
She left after a while while he remained in the pavilion, thinking about certain matters.
Shui Yueting said that she is not who Im looking for, is it Dongfang Jingyue then? Then why wouldnt that be the name of the woman in my memories? What are the karmic ties between us?
Looks like she didnt tell me everything, perhaps Shangguan Mingqian will find more clues.
He didnt join Aquamoon either since he had no love for Shui Yueting. As for helping her with the half-demons, it was a personal choice due to his ties with this race and Grandpa Yu.
A white ray landed outside and interrupted his rumination.
Xuanyuan Yiyi appeared, wearing a dress with her hair tied up in a bun. She looked graceful and mysterious, exuding an ethereal charm.
Why are you smiling? She asked.
Because Im happy. He said.
And why is that?
Because I get to work with a girl whos as pretty as a fairy. He said.
She knew his personality all too well and responded: Im afraid you must contain this happiness for we have been assigned to Chaos City to represent the young generation of the human race.
Thats not my business. His mood was ruined.
The deity said that you have a fateful link in Chaos. She elaborated.
Lets go right now. He became interested right away and stood up to smile at her: Once we get there, I will follow your lead.
Shui Yueting wanted him to deal with the rising stars of the demon races. However, he could just let Xuanyuan Yiyi take the lead instead of attracting more problems.
