Chapter 1513: The Situation Shifts Again

January 17, 2020 · 5 min read · 1,033 words

The Young Master's estate was 's own territory, and it was not difficult for him to avoid the eyes and ears of others.

Returning to the secret chamber within the estate, sat cross-legged and began contemplating the nine Nine Palace Bewildering Spirit Maps within his sea of consciousness. Each of the nine maps represented a different illusion art, each one embodying a wall of void.

These nine Bewildering Spirit Maps were the crystallization of Senior Marquis Hong's lifelong mastery of illusion-based Divine Abilities, now passed down to . He could clearly feel the elder's encouragement toward the younger generation.

"Heh, this Senior Marquis Hong — quite an interesting character. He clearly wanted the challengers to pass his Third Palace, yet he insisted on putting on such a cold and aloof demeanor..."

immersed himself in the nine Bewildering Spirit Maps, contemplating them slowly, comprehending them gradually.

These Nine Palace Bewildering Spirit Maps truly represented the essence of Senior Marquis Hong's illusion arts.

What delighted the most was not only the Bewildering Spirit Maps but also the seven Bewildering Spirit Puppets. These seven puppets had clearly been refined from Senior Marquis Hong's own essence.

Each puppet radiated a powerful aura, contained formidable capabilities, and held tremendous combat strength.

This reminded of the Soldier Formation Prayer Beads he had once used. They were absolutely similar in ingenious artistry. Countless people had coveted 's Soldier Formation Prayer Beads back then.

However, these seven Bewildering Spirit Puppets were clearly far more powerful than the Soldier Formation Prayer Beads — superior by more than a single tier.

"These Bewildering Spirit Puppets must be Senior Marquis Hong's masterpieces from the ancient era — a reliable source of combat power. Having obtained them, I must make good use of them."

The process of passing the Third Palace had gone much more smoothly than had anticipated.

The rewards were abundant, and he needed some time to digest them.

He secluded himself in the chamber for several days, consolidating his cultivation and fully assimilating the Bewildering Spirit Maps and Bewildering Spirit Puppets as his own before finally emerging.

At the same time, sat in meditation for several more days.

His spiritual consciousness was currently in a highly active state. The chain seal within his sea of consciousness fluctuated between periods of activity and dormancy, also in a state of upheaval.

For , this was not necessarily a bad thing.

However, until he had fully mastered this chain seal, he still harbored a degree of wariness toward it.

Because the power and potential contained within this chain seal were simply terrifying. Even did not dare to forcibly explore it at this point.

The only thing he could do was follow his heart's guidance and let nature take its course.

When the chain seal offered him assistance, he accepted it gracefully. If the chain seal lay dormant for a time, would absolutely not force it into action.

He maintained a sense of awe and reverence toward this chain seal at all times.

"Father... in my previous life, when the heavens shattered, what secret did you plant within your child's sea of consciousness? Is this chain seal a karmic legacy from my past life?"

's mind was filled with questions.

After approximately fifteen days had passed, emerged from seclusion once more.

This was the minimum time he had promised.

"Young Master, you've truly come out already?" Upon seeing emerge, the subordinates of the Young Master's estate were each both surprised and delighted.

swept his gaze across them, noting what appeared to be a hint of worry between each of their brows. "In merely half a month, what has happened in the outside world?"

Emperor Jingzhong sighed. "Allow me to explain."

The others nodded in agreement. At this point, Emperor Jingzhong was probably the best person to clearly articulate the situation.

Of course, 's emergence from seclusion still invigorated everyone's spirits.

Every time entered and exited seclusion, it meant his martial cultivation had achieved another tremendous breakthrough.

Everyone studied , seemingly trying to gauge what he had gained from this seclusion. Yet when their gaze fell upon him, it was like a stone dropped into the ocean — they could not discern the slightest hint of his true depth.

Each of them felt a chill run through them. They knew was formidable, but they had not expected that with their own cultivation, they could no longer gauge his depth.

What did that imply?

"There's no rush, everyone. Brother Hui, take your time." 's current state of mind was actually much better than it had been some time ago.

Emperor Jingzhong sighed. "Though you've only been in seclusion for half a month, not long ago, someone stormed into the 's territory and launched a sneak attack on the Bitter Barbarian Prince who was stationed there. It seems the Bitter Barbarian Prince was gravely injured, his fate unknown."

"Oh? Who was so courageous and bold?" was quite surprised. By all accounts, this should be good news — so why did they all look so worried, unable to conceal their anxiety?

Could it be that the attack on the Bitter Barbarian tribal prince had provoked an even greater retaliation against the human race?

Even if that were the case, it was simply a matter of meeting soldiers with generals and water with earth — a problem to be dealt with as it came. The Glazed Glass Royal City had been through countless battles; how could they fear something like this?

"If we're talking strictly about the assassination of the Bitter Barbarian Prince, then yes, it is indeed good news. However, the assassin acted in your name, Young Master . They proclaimed that our Glazed Glass Royal City would uphold justice, that we would not relinquish a single city or village of human territory, and that we swore to fight the invaders to the death — defending every inch of our human lands."

Emperor Jingzhong sighed once more as he finished speaking.
