Volun of the Concealed Star Branch

Xia Jinyi’s eyes opened wide In a tre voice, he said, “Repeat what you just said”

With a look of sy herself and died Moreover, she was pregnant My young master specially dispatched me over with the news”

Stupefied, Xia Jinyi looked at his two hands, no longer saying a single word After Chiji had left, just after he just stepped through the door, he heard the sound of sobs It was the sound of ahis eyes out Chiji’s heart ached, and he quickly sped up his pace and walked away

Listlessly, Xia Jinyi sat on the floor in his roo in his otten to know Xiu Chun, the philandering and dallying at the beginning until finally this delicate woman entered his heart and soul He recalled theforward to their beautiful future together Xia Jinyi even went so far as to think that after his purse had grown full, he would be able to take Xiu Chun far away Since his remote home was a place of sorrow, he could not return to it However, in this world, there were o

All of these dreaulfed his life and dreaed his destiny, but had already cootten his existence From that moment on, his former life ended All of his attention had been focused on currying favor with that tyrannical and vicious crown prince and trying to devise a way to take vengeance on Li Hanyou As a result, Xia Jinyi had been perfectly willing to brave the dangers on his life to co Zhe had handed hith was To a disciple of the Fengyi Sect, a princess of the ieneral, he was no e, he could only overthrow the factions supporting her As a result, the Prince of Yong and Jiang Zhe was his only option

However, during that period filled with sorrow and suffering, there was always a beautiful figure by his side That wo a single shred of light in his heart However, he had not taken her into consideration After he had accepted that dangerous assignoodbye to her He was even under the i woet about him and live out her own life in happiness However, he did not expect that she would actually hang herself in the name of love, and even more, take her child with her What a cruel decision Why did she come to such a decision? This surely must be retribution, retribution for all of the innocent wohter

The more he contemplated, the more pain he felt Xia Jinyi felt his five viscera² burning Feeling dizzy, he fainted Half asleep, he iined that he had returned to his hometoith Xiu Chun While he tilled the fields, she wove, as they began to live a leisurely life Apparently, it see his son in their e, unable to conceal their happiness Aan to ey cultivation ht him This was an alternate cultivation method that stimulated the consciousness and allowed one to sleep better For many years, Xia Jinyi had continuously practiced this cultivation h there weren’t any other benefits and his internal energy did not ier saw Li Hanyou in his dreams over this last year He had practiced this cultivation method strenuously Today, in deep pain, he could not help but begin to practice this cultivation ain However, as he cultivated, Xia Jinyi felt a blazing hot feeling rise fro had flowed throughout his four limbs and into his bones Xia Jinyi felt as if his arteries and channels were all being burned by a blazing inferno What was strange was that the pain and suffering in his heart surprisingly diminished Fascinated, Xia Jinyi continued to cultivate Sure enough, the feeling co from his dantian and the pain within his heart caused his cultivation to be increasingly focused, al his heart to be comforted As a result, Xia Jinyi was completely absorbed in the cultivation

If someone were to walk in at this ht A y and yet see inferno His pained expression carried a hint of serenity Xia Jinyi was also lucky At noon, Chiji had arrived to deliver food Seeing the tightly closed door, Chiji thought that Xia Jinyi was unwilling to corief that he felt, and thus re the food on the table, Chiji did not think to enter Xia Jinyi’s room to check on him If that had happened, Xia Jinyi would have died without a chance for survival

When y rise fro all over his entire body Wherever the energy passed, his four liy flowed to his entire body, Xia Jinyi felt his spirit quake, the sorrow and guilt in his heart no longer causing hi up, Xia Jinyi felt a rancid s a careful look, he saw that it was already dark Swiftly, he ran out into the courtyard Pulling a bucket full of water fro, he extended his hands, feeling that his fair skin almost seemed transparent, reatly alarmed He did not knohat had happened Just at this h froh the Seven E his head to look, Xia Jinyi caught sight of a yellow-robed Daoist priest standing there with a se of the priest His appearance was elegant, his skin like that of a baby However, his hair was all white He seemed to be about a hundred years old Xia Jinyi let out a low yelp This was his second master, the Heavenly Capital Daoist Priest, Priest Dream Xia Jinyi stepped forward and koed Initially, he had wanted to cry bitterly, but Xia Jinyi felt like he had no tears to shed and could not help feel strange in his heart

Stepping forward, Priest Dreas that you kno Your n of the Devil Sect’s Concealed Star branch”

Xia Jinyi was left dumbfounded He had once heard his master speak of the three branches of the Devil Sect Only when he departed did he discover that this information was not known by many people He even once suspected that his master was a member of the Devil Sect However, due to the kindness and care froht fro his master admit his identity, Xia Jinyi instead seemed to feel a load was taken off his mind With a smile, he stated, “Jinyi doesn’t care about Master’s identity However, there are s that Jinyi does not understand Would Master please enlighten Yi’er?”

Pulling Xia Jinyi along, Priest Dream sat down on a stone bench in the courtyard With a smile, he replied, “Good disciple, as expected, yourinheritor Please listen to my explanation I once spoke of the three branches of the Devil Sect ‘The universe in disorder, the Scorching Sun appears, the Freezing Moon supports, the Concealed Star protects,’ explains the division of labor for the three branches The founding Sovereign of ins He bitterly loathed aristocratic and noble fa that the reason for the decline of the state was because of the extreme corruption of the imperial clan and the aristocratic families that sucked the flesh and blood of the common people He once stated that if a ruler is wise and capable, it could certainly lead to a reduction in the suffering of the common people However, if the ruler is muddleheaded, then the situation of the common people will become far worse Therefore, he established the Devil Sect in order to level this unjust, chaotic world The Ancestor believed that if the common people were miserable, there would be those who rise up in arms and establish a new dynasty This new dynasty would allow the common people to have a hundred years of peace and tranquility

“As a result of his desire to not want the common people to suffer when the dynasty declined, he therefore created the three branches The Scorching Sun branch will rebel; the Freezing Moon branch will serve as strategists who cause the aristocratic families to fall into internecine strife, cause chaos, topple the imperial court, and create a new environment However, if this were to happen, after the foundations of the new dynasty have been stabilized, there wouldn’t beMoon branches In the chaos of war, this is expected However, if this were to happen, how could my Devil Sect continue and persist? Therefore, our Ancestor, with his wisdom as deep as an ocean, created the Concealed Star branch The mission of the Concealed Star branch is to hide openly in the world like one of the many stars in the vast sky full of stars in the Heavens Moreover, our Concealed Star branch bears the heavy burden of ensuring the continuation of the Devil Sect For uarded the sect’s secret depository of knowledge When the world falls into chaos, we find and select fros of society to pass onto the Sun branch and the art of war and strategies of the Freezing Moon branch Therefore, although the Devil Sect is frequently surrounded and destroyed by the factions of hu and the imperial court, it always returns from the ashes This is all due to our contributions Unfortunately, our Ancestor could not find a better way to ensure peace and prosperity for the common people As such, we can only rely upon the chaos of war to purge and cleanse the world of its foulness to create a new era of peace”

A look of doubt flashed across Xia Jinyi’s face, as he asked, “Master, doesn’t that make the Concealed Star branch a faction that watches whilst others fight then reaps the rewards when all sides are exhausted? Provoking chaos in the world, while staying uninvolved Isn’t that too excessive?”

Priest Dreaonized smile before he replied, “Foolish child, do you truly believe that the inheritor of the Concealed Star branch is easy to find? For generations, the inheritance of the Concealed Star branch is only passed onto one person As soon as a Sovereign inherits the Concealed Star branch, he in to search for successors, while the previous Sovereign returns back to protect the secret repository and concentrate on cultivation The secret cultivation method of the Concealed Star branch is called the this secret method will increase the resilience of one’s arteries and veins As long as one isn’t beheaded, then one will not die Moreover, this e of one hundred twenty and above However, to the present seventeenth generation, there were two occasions where the inheritance of the Concealed Star branch was nearly broken off”

After thinking it over, Xia Jinyi asked, “Is it because there are unusual requirements upon the inheritor of the Concealed Star branch that are difficult to meet?”

With a wry smile, Priest Dream answered, “The first requirement for the inheritor of the Concealed Star branch is to have no fa off all relations This in itself isn’t too bad, and isn’t difficult to meet The second requirement demands that an inheritor never marry and never have children This in itself is a bit difficult The third requirement demands that an inheritor e of thirty, seeing through life and death You can count the number of individuals that ers Further, the Concealed Star branch requires its members to have, at the very least, athis, Xia Jinyi responded, “This disciple can meet these conditions with difficulty However, this disciple believes that if it were solely these conditions, then it wouldn’t be too difficult”

Priest Dreaazed profoundly at Xia Jinyi, as he expressed, “This is because of the limitations of the objective of the Concealed Star branch Disciples of our branch cannot enjoy prestige and wealth, and must drift around the world to accrue experience For the entirety of their lives, they ander without a home Additionally, they cannot reveal their ht back and can only run Because of this, although one is the Sovereign of the Concealed Star branch, one will remain a nobody for the entirety of one’s life This kind of fetter is not so that someone with exceptional martial arts can endure Therefore, our branch’s rules require that if a candidate is able to pass all of the tests before the age of thirty, then that person can be considered as a disciple in nae of sixty, one can do as one pleases, but is not allowed to cultivate stellar martial arts In any case, with the protective abilities of the Nine Deaths Manual, if the candidate were to die, then it could be blamed on that person’s inability to endure silently and patiently and is thus unworthy to becouish a candidate’s temperament and for this carefully, Xia Jinyi inquired, “Does this mean that this disciple is not the only candidate?”

Blushi+ng, Priest Dreaht Before you, two other candidates were also selected However, at present, you are the most suitable candidate Now that you have faked your death and gone into hiding, and have experienced such tragic events in your life, rejecting the bounds of eh past the third layer of the Nine Deaths Manual, the barrier of the Seven Emotions If you are able to, in the next thirty years, scrupulously abide by the Concealed Star branch’s regulations, then I believe that you will becoh the Seven Emotions barrier, Xia Jinyi could feel his mind becoradually di his master, he instead continued to question, “If all of us meet the requirements, then ould master choose?”
