Chapter 1448 - 50: Sword of Destruction
Lushui Cave Heaven, a gentle breeze brushes past.
A woman in a red dress squats by the lotus pond, her hand stirring the water, watching as ripples scatter and the reflections of the lotus in the pond fragment and round out.
"Is this the famous lotus spectacle of the Demon Country..."
Jiang Huang gazes at the lotus pond, which has a visible end with a sigh, feeling quite uninterested.
She traveled south with Chi Fu Dragon Lord, crossing thousands of miles from Tianhuang Palace to this Lushui Cave Heaven, supposedly the central blessed land filled with lotuses, but only spanning hundreds of zhang.
She looks around.
The entire Lushui Cave Heaven barely measures ten li.
It’s not even comparable to the lotuses of Da Sui Sword Palace.
"My lord."
"With the meager primordial energy of the Demon Country, it’s quite a feat to maintain such a lotus pond."
At this moment, serving beside Jiang Huang is Yun Mei, the favorite disciple of Venerable Chi Lu.
This journey of Chi Fu Dragon Lord’s southward is only communicated to Chi Lu.
As for Jiang Huang accompanying, it was a sudden decision.
Hence, Yun Mei only knows that the woman in front is a significant figure from Tianhuang Palace, guessing she might be the cherished daughter of a Yin God Venerable, without further speculation. Her master is known for making many connections and frequently welcomes "great figures" as guests.
She doesn’t know that the woman in front is the future throne of Tianhuang Palace, second only to one.
"Indeed."
Jiang Huang smiled.
She never held high hopes for this Lushui Cave Heaven, as she was quite bored at Tianhuang Palace and wanted to take a walk.
She stands up.
She shakes her hand.
"Is there anything fun around this Lushui Cave Heaven?"
Jiang Huang asked with a smile.
"My lord, absolutely not..."
Yun Mei quickly said, "Inside the array of Lushui Cave Heaven, it can still be considered a blessed land with lotuses to see. Outside is all desolate mountains and ridges, there’s nowhere good to go."
Jiang Huang’s aura is completely concealed.
Yun Mei can’t sense primordial energy and thinks the other hasn’t started cultivating, considering her age.
Due to surviving the Nine Death Forbidden.
Jiang Huang’s divine soul aura appears especially young, sensing her Divine Thought shows she’s about ten years old.
Just at this moment.
The communication orders on both of their waists trembled lightly.
Messages simultaneously came from Chi Fu Dragon Lord and Venerable Chi Lu.
...
...
Jiang Huang arrives at Chi Lu Hall.
Yun Mei doesn’t have the privilege to enter, waiting outside the hall.
Inside the hall.
Mist curls and swirls.
A bronze ancient box, floating under the celestial light.
"You’ve arrived."
Chi Fu Dragon Lord smiles and asks, "How is the lotus pond of Lushui Cave Heaven? Tianhuang Palace spends over ten thousand primordial pills annually to maintain this lotus pond..."
Beside Chi Fu, a man in a deep blue Taoist robe stands respectfully, his face full of smiles.
It is clear.
Venerable Chi Lu already knows Jiang Huang’s identity.
He looks at the girl in the red dress, eyes filled with flattery.
This lotus pond was created after his appointment as the master of Cave Heaven. The Demon Country’s landscape is meager, and this lotus pond is deeply cherished by his master and even praised by the Great Palace Master.
"Over ten thousand primordial pills?"
Unexpectedly, Jiang Huang frowned upon hearing this.
"It’s better to cease this lotus pond."
She said expressionlessly, "With those primordial pills, rewarding the lowly demon spirits might result in more Great Demons in the Cave Heaven."
"Well."
Venerable Chi Lu was stunned.
He didn’t expect the future throne to dislike this lotus pond.
"What is called Pocket World Blessed Land, where heaven grants the land."
Jiang Huang said calmly, "Using the strength of an entire Cave Heaven to create a lotus pond just to please Tianhuang Palace... No wonder there haven’t been Yin God Great Demons in Lushui Cave Heaven for years."
After this remark.
Venerable Chi Lu’s face turned grim.
That’s right, since he took office as the master of Cave Heaven, no Yin Gods appeared for over a decade.
Luckily, his master always took good care of him.
His identity as the master of Cave Heaven didn’t get shaken.
"There’s no need to be so harsh, this lotus pond is also favored by the Great Palace Master... The Demon Country may be meager, but it ought to have some scenery."
Chi Fu Dragon Lord laughed heartily, glossing over the topic.
"..."
Jiang Huang said no more.
Despite being the future throne, she doesn’t hold the power.
Chi Fu Dragon Lord is currently an elder, an absolute pillar in Tianhuang Palace, with the authority of a Great Venerable, surely has the privilege to create a lotus pond in his realm.
"Is this the clue you’re looking for?"
Jiang Huang shifts her gaze to the bronze box floating in the air.
Xuan Jin has been missing for a whole year.
No clues in Tianhuang Palace, despite sending numerous demon spirits to search, all to no avail.
"Indeed."
Chi Fu Dragon Lord said with a smile, "This time... Chi Lu has made quite a contribution."
"Master praises too much."
At this moment, Chi Lu is no longer as relaxed, his forehead covered in sweat, forcing a smile in response.
He knows, despite the young appearance of this throne, her style is very fierce, quite different from those great figures he knew.
"My lord."
Venerable Chi Lu said respectfully, "Fortunately, I was not humiliated and found important clues of Lord Xuan Jin."
Saying this, he opened the bronze box.
With a hiss.
As the box opens, an extremely piercing explosion resounds in the hall.
"This is..."
Jiang Huang furrowed her brow, incredulously watching the scene before her!
An extremely sharp sword intent seeped out of the box, merely a small wisp of Taoist Intent, immediately turned the pure white celestial light around into a black ink-like color.
"This is ’Destruction Sword Intent’."
Venerable Chi Lu said with a smile, "I found this wisp of residual Taoist Intent outside the desolate ridges of Cave Heaven."
"Is this what you found outside the ridge?"
Jiang Huang stared at the wisp of Taoist Intent, her expression fluctuating.
Speaking of the Path of Destruction.
In the world today, the most renowned cultivator is undoubtedly Xie Xuanyi.
But!
The Xuan Jin of Tianhuang Palace is also a cultivator of the Annihilation Dao Realm, the master!
"Yes."
Venerable Chi Lu, though puzzled, smiled, "Master has already used the Sky Vault Divination Technique to calculate on this wisp of Taoist Intent... If Lord of the Throne doubts, you may divine once more..."
Before finishing the sentence.
Jiang Huang acted directly.
Karmic Fire and Lotus, the two Great Daos, suddenly emerge, and her whole being burns fiercely as blazing fire erupts from her brow, Taoist Intent surges in an instant, causing Venerable Chi Lu to be uncontrollably pushed back several steps by the wave, and even more alarmed, this seemingly young woman’s realm far exceeds himself, undoubtedly possessing Yin God Great Perfection strength!
"Ch-chi-chi."
Jiang Huang directly captured the lingering Path of Destruction.
She’s very familiar with this Taoist Intent.
Seen countless times.
As long as there’s even a trace of Xie Xuanyi’s aura remaining on this Taoist Intent, it’s absolutely impossible to escape her capture sensing by the Sky Vault Divination Technique!
At this moment.
Countless soul thoughts spread like threads.
Jiang Huang’s eyes turned scarlet, staring intently at the pitch-black Taoist Intent.
But...
The conclusion disappointed her.
This Taoist Intent is extremely profound, incredibly ancient, exuding a distant and weathered aura.
She did not sense Xie Xuanyi’s cause and effect.
This...
is not Xie Xuanyi’s "Path of Destruction."
...
