Chapter 1303: Ever-present Threat (2/2)

A divine reflection was a unique talent of charming spirits and varied from one individual to the next. However, disciples who came from the Dream Empyrean were believed to have the best reflections in Heaven Spirit.

Their progenitor was Shen Mengtian, the one who created and named the sect after his own name. [1. Shen Mengtian means Divine Dream Heaven — Dream Empyrean.]

Legend states that when he was still alive, he cultivated his divine reflection beyond all other charming spirits and surpa.s.sed the limit. His achievements in this regard were at the very peak.

Though Shen Mengtian didn't become an emperor in his generation, he stood shoulder-to-shoulder with Immortal Emperors. Back in that era, some historians believed that even the emperor back then respectfully called him “teacher”.

Another tale claims that his ultimate divine reflection could see through both the past and future, gazing into the mysteries of this world. Because of this, even Immortal Emperors have had to rely on him at times.

Jians.h.i.+ nodded and said: “The Dream Empyrean has the most orthodox and purest bloodline out of all the charming spirits. Because of this, their divine reflection far exceeds that of other charming spirits, it’s not strange at all.”

Li Qiye smiled and told the two girls: “Most orthodox and purest? It’s not their turn to receive this praise. In terms of purity and history, this can only belong to the Buzhan Clan. Even though the Dream Empyrean originated from the Spirit Abyss, their bloodline isn’t that pure.”

“The Buzhan Clan…” Both the sisters glanced at each other. The Buzhan Clan was so ancient as to be untraceable. Only they themselves knew just how old their clan and bloodline was. Maybe even the clan itself didn’t even know all the details.

“I heard the Buzhan Clan consists of descendants of immortals, far from just having an ancient bloodline.” Ruyan became interested as her pretty eyes blinked: “Young n.o.ble, do you think this rumor is true?”

Li Qiye looked at her and replied: “How are you defining immortal? Are there immortals in this world?”

This was a very confusing and difficult topic because no one had seen an immortal before.

Jians.h.i.+ interjected: “Well, the Celestial Pavilion has been known to house an immortal in the past.”

Li Qiye glanced at her and smiled: “Young beauty, are you borrowing your sister’s cunning to try to set me up?”

Jians.h.i.+ slightly blushed and lowered her head without answering. Her elegance had a hint of youthfulness this time around.

“Celestial Pavilion…” Ruyan was much bolder compared to the slightly reserved Jians.h.i.+. There was no topic that she would purposely avoid: “Young n.o.ble, you are too nice towards Mu Shaolong. Could it be that you are aiming for the pavilion’s secret, the Immortal Dao City?”

The low-key Celestial Pavilion was rumored to be attached to one of the nine heavenly treasures, the Immortal Dao City. Outsiders couldn’t confirm this, and the pavilion itself never addressed this question.

“You are looking down on me too much.” Li Qiye couldn’t help but laugh: “If I wanted their secret, would I need to start with a junior? I just need to directly ask them, it isn’t difficult at all.”

“What is your relations.h.i.+p with the pavilion?” Ruyan gave a cute wink that contained boundless grace.

Both of the girls were quite curious after noticing Li Qiye’s special treatment of Mu Shaolong. After all, he was someone who wouldn’t even bother looking at a young junior of Shaolong’s level.

Li Qiye didn’t reply, he only silently stared at the blue waves in the distance.

He was worried about many things at the Celestial Pavilion. It was not only due to the Lunargrasp Fairy, some past matters played a part as well.

It was just as the two girls had said, he had a special spot for the pavilion in his heart. Mu Shaolong’s special treatment wasn’t only because Shaolong had the last name of Mu.

The two girls were quite curious, but they didn’t dare to pry any further, not even the daring Ruyan.

At this time, a disciple from outside reported: “Schoolmaster, Young n.o.ble Bao from the Dream Empyrean is requesting to board our boat.”
