Chapter 235 (1/2)

Black White Deity Mountain was a superpower in the Xia Clan. It held the most mages and was the organization with the most accomplished research results among them. Although it controlled the six central provinces, many other Transcendent mages from other provinces joined them as well.

Mountain Lord He currently held the undisputed position of the strongest mage.

Hua!

In the Mirage, Xue Ying was currently nearing Black White Deity Mountain at great speed. Very soon, he had enveloped the entire Black White Deity Mountain!

“I’ve found him.” Xue Ying immediately discovered Mountain Lord He.

Mountain Lord He was currently sitting cross-legged atop one of the mountain peaks. Two mysterious black and white bent moons were floated by his side. At the same time, countless seals were appearing on top of these moons, and, for a moment, these dense seals aggregated to form large amounts of solid images which would make anyone’s headache upon seeing them.

These two black and white bent moons naturally formed the strongest Deity weapon of the Black White Deity Mountain—the Black White Moon Wheel! Although it had not been ranked as the strongest Xia Clan Deity weapon, in the hands of Mountain Lord He, the potential combat power it could unleash was much greater than any other Demigod’s!

Mountain Lord He frowned before turning his head over towards the direction where Xue Ying was located at.

“He discovered me?” Xue Ying was shocked. Without a doubt, he had been found!

Mountain Lord He’s vision had seemingly passed through space itself as he stared in Xue Ying’s direction.

“However, from his expression of doubt, he hasn’t discovered it was me. Let’s go.” Xue Ying finished testing his True Meaning of Mirage, so he left without hesitation. He would not reveal this method of searching for the Demon Generals, or the True Meaning of Mirage, to anyone for the moment. Only in the future would he tell Palace Head Chen at first. After all, he was the only person whom Xue Ying could truly trust!

As for the other Transcendents?

Mountain Lord He and the rest were worthy of being trusted. Their combat powers were huge, and the Xia Clan had provided them with resources. Thus, they did not have a need to betray the Xia Clan and depend on the Demonic Faction. As such, Mountain Lord He, Si Kong Yang, and the others could learn the many secrets of their clan as well.

But as long as he didn’t have any reason to reveal them, Xue Ying would rather refrain from doing so.

“Who?” Mountain Lord He frowned in suspicion. There was an expert hiding about a hundred kilometers away from here? Such a formidable technique. Was it a spell? Or was it done through the assistance of a Deity weapon for concealment? I could only sense a vague presence!

There were many possibilities for who this person hiding in the dark might be.

Yet Mountain Lord He could only vaguely sense someone.

Was it a Demon General’s technique? Or one of the Demonic Faction, or the Sorcerer Palace? Or was it an outsider? The outsiders coming to my Xia Clan World are mostly well behaved, though, and have no need to come and offend me. For a moment, countless questions filled Mountain Lord He’s mind.

…

As Xue Ying left, he began contemplating over the previous events.

The two Demigods who have condensed a Deity Heart in my Xia Clan are Faction Head Si Kong Yang and Mountain Lord He. While Faction Head Si Kong Yang could not discover me, Mountain Lord He did! Xue Ying thought. Maybe it’s related to the True Deity Heart which they condensed. Faction Head Si Kong Yang’s Deity Heart is flame-related and veered towards the end of an offensive spectrum, while Mountain Lord He’s is spell-related and more of a domain type.

One focuses on overbearing power, the other on domains.

Maybe that is the reason Mountain Lord He could sense me, judged Xue Ying. With this, I can now start my investigation!

Xue Ying had gone to the Water Daoist Faction and the Black White Deity Mountain early in the morning, which allowed him to have enough time to accompany his family for breakfast when he returned.

“I’ll be entering closed-door cultivation.” Xue Ying told his family directly at the dining table. “Don’t reveal this to anyone.”

“Oh.”

“Alright.”

Everyone at the table nodded. To them, nothing a Transcendent did could ever be truly strange.

“Xue Ying, how long are you planning to stay behind the doors?” asked his mother, Mo Yang Yu.

“About ten years. I’ll come out once every year,” Xue Ying replied.

“That long? Remember to take care of yourself when you cultivate. Don’t force it too much,” Mo Yang Yu reminded him.

“You should’ve stopped before those two sentences. You haven’t even become a Legend rank mage yet, but you still plan to give pointers to our son on how to cultivate?” Dong Bo Lie laughed beside her.

“Why can’t I give some pointers?” Mo Yang Yu glared at him, causing Dong Bo Lie to immediately retreat.

Xue Ying laughed. As his parents got older, their personalities became even more vibrant. They were both already over 100 years of age.
