Chapter 1075: The Sect’s Secret History
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Be it in his previous and present life, Tang Xiu was quite adept at analyzing things. After returning and living on Earth, his EQ and the ways he responded to people’s intentions and conducts had improved greatly. Although he still couldn’t understand many things related to emotions, at least his mood wasn’t affected that much from them. In addition, there were also other reasons as to why he stayed on Jingmen Island, which was the issue about the two islands in the waters to the south.
One of the two islands was used to rear fierce beasts, and the other was for medicinal herbs plantation.
Each of these two issues was equally important. Those children he fostered would grow up in the future and would become more powerful as well. All of which would make the needed cultivation resources to grow into an astronomical number. He would undoubtedly be in a short supply of resources if he were to rely solely on the wild herbs grown on Earth.
Suddenly, his expression slightly shifted. He ceased his train of thought as his eyes shifted to the southern waters. He could sense a particular aura that was deliberately transmitted out from that direction. It was very brief, only for a few seconds, but he chose to fly to the south the moment after.
“Tang Xiu!”
Xue Yu, who also sensed that aura, caught up with him riding her immortal sword.
“Did you feel it too?” asked Tang Xiu. “Don’t you think that it’s a bit familiar?”
“No.” Xue Yu shook her head.
Tang Xiu could only sigh inwardly. Xue Yu hadn’t yet experienced the struggles in such a brutal place that was the Immortal World, after all. She lacked the experience of battling celestials, immortals, and demons, so her sensing ability to recognize others’ aura was very poor; whereas he already knew who was coming the moment he sensed that aura.
Turbulent waves rippled over the sea surface of the boundless ocean. However, a blob of raging flame was actually burning above the sea.
After flying high in the sky for some time, Tang Xiu and Xue Yu appeared tens of kilometers away above the deep ocean. There, they saw the Fire Qilin traversing on the sea surface and seemed to look at them.
“You came!”
The Fire Qilin didn’t look at Xue Yu and had its eyes fixated on Tang Xiu, using its divine sense to transmit its voice to him.
“I knew that you’d come for me sooner or later, Fire Qilin.” Tang Xiu smiled and said, “Well, I didn’t expect you to find me this fast, though. Anyways, there’s something I’ve been very curious about, though. What exactly is your origin? And why did you choose to be at the human side when we fought those demonic beasts?”
“I don’t think there’s a need for you to know my origin, though I’m sure you already have some guesses. Anyhow, I need to leave Earth and return to the Immortal World, which means I need that Spatial Teleportation Array. All the Demon Cores obtained by humans went to you and I didn’t get any piece of it.” The Fire Qilin’s body was covered by a high-temperature flame, so high that it increased the temperature of the surrounding sea in no time. Even the sea surface where the Fire Qilin was standing on was boiling and made a lot of fish and shrimps cooked and float to the surface.
“I already know you want to go back to the Immortal World, Fire Qilin,” replied Tang Xiu indifferently. “But as I told you, I have a way to bring you back there, but it’s not now. I told you before that I still have tons of things not done here, while my own power has yet to reach the point of breaking through into the Immortal Stage. That’s why I need you to be patient and wait for me. I’ll naturally inform you when I’m ascending to the Immortal World. But…”
“But what?” asked Fire Qilin.
“You should know clearly well that it’s very difficult to enter the Immortal World,” said Tang Xiu indifferently. “The energy needed is enormous, and the process is riddled with dangers, so if you don’t explain your situation in the Immortal World and why you came to Earth, it’s very difficult for me to trust you.”
The Fire Qilin fell into silence. It knew that Tang Xiu was right, yet it still felt very reluctant to tell outsiders of the things that had happened. However, for the sake of returning to the Immortal World, it decided to disclose some bits to this human. “I’m the Guardian Immortal Beast of a certain sect in the Immortal World. My status is equal to the other four Guardian Beasts: the Azure Dragon, Vermillion Bird, White Tiger, and Black Tortoise. The founder of this Immortal Sect was an Earthling, so he left behind some countermeasures back when he was about to ascend to the God’s Realm. He felt that his birthplace, Earth, was going to face an immense crisis, so I, Azure Dragon, Vermillion Bird, White Tiger, and Black Tortoise rushed here to protect this planet.”
Tang Xiu’s complexion changed and he spoke in a deep tone, “That’s ridiculous. The three big schools, which are the Azure Dragon Holy Sect, White Tiger Holy Sect, and Black Tortoise Holy Sect have disappeared in the Immortal World hundreds of thousands of years ago! Only the Vermillion Bird Holy Sect still remains. And yet, there’s no record about this matter in the Myriad Vault Pavilion whatsoever. There’s no such thing related to the Vermilion Bird Holy Sect as you just told me.”
The Fire Qilin’s aura suddenly rose. Its eyes were locked on Tang Xiu and it stopped conversing by transmitting its thought with divine sense, shouting, “Who exactly are you?! How do you know the matters in the Immortal World and those four big Holy Sects?”
Tang Xiu unleashed his own aura to resist the Fire Qilin’s pressure. He coldly hummed and said, “I know you’re very powerful, Fire Qilin. But don’t think I’m afraid of you. It’s very easy for me if I want to kill you. Take back your aura since I don’t want to cause other troubles.”
