Chapter 253: Coincidence? (2)
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Xu Ze didn’t explain much about Meng Ruyan’s doubts.
He only said that the incident with Meng Ruyan’s mother involved many things.
This was partly because of the Qingqiu Clan, and partly because of the Spirit Sword Sect.
Even her father didn’t seem to be as weak as the rumours said.
It could be said that the more she knew, the more confused Meng Ruyan became about her parent’s situation. She felt that she had only touched the surface of the whole situation.
It might take more time to investigate the truth of the matter. Moreover, she had to reach a certain status in the Qingqiu Clan.
Otherwise, there were many things that a small Core Formation Stage demon like her couldn’t come into contact with.
Now, she had a chance to quickly raise her status in the Qingqiu Clan.
This opportunity was the upcoming thousand-year battle.
For the Spirit Sword Sect and the Qingqiu Clan, this thousand-year battle would not only determine the future ownership of the chaos Spiritual mine, it was also a test for the heavenly pride of both sides.
As long as they could perform well in this thousand-year battle, they would be able to obtain the support of the clan.
Meng Ruyan felt that when she reached the Apotheosis Stage, she would be able to find out the truth behind her parent’s descent to the Lower Realm.
The location of the thousand-year battle was chosen to be the Moongazer Serpent Realm, which was undoubtedly good news for her.
This was because this was the place where she was born. In this place, not only could she display her full strength, but she could even display extraordinary strength.
What Meng Ruyan didn’t know was that there was someone else in the hall who had the same thought as her.
This person was none other than Jing Ming.
Meng Ruyan wasn’t the only one born in the Moongazer Serpent Realm.
His great-granddaughter also came from the Moongazer Serpent Realm.
Strictly speaking, she and Meng Ruyan were both from the Qingyun Sect.
Of course, Jing Ming did not know Meng Ruyan’s real identity.
Back then, he felt that Meng Ruyan was not simple, but he only found out about her extraordinary status in the Ye family.
Ordinary people couldn’t find out anything about the Great Xia Dynasty’s Ye family, but he, a big shot from the upper realm, was different.
After seeing the Ye Family’s attitude towards Meng Ruyan, Jing Ming could almost guess the other party’s background.
However, Jing Ming didn’t go to find Meng Ruyan himself. In addition, Meng Ruyan had left the Moongazer Serpent Realm first, so he didn’t know what she really looked like.
Right now, his impression of the Meng Ruyan in front of him was that she was a heavenly pride nurtured by the Qingqiu Clan. And they had brought her out to see the world. Fie didn’t think too much about it.
Just like how Meng Ruyan knew her advantage in the Moongazer Serpent Realm, Jing Ming also knew Xu Wan’er’s advantage there.
With Jing Ming’s help, Xu Wan’er also reached the Core Formation Realm cultivation earlier.
Moreover, although Xu Wan’er had cultivated other path of cultivation techniques from the beginning, the person who had taught her this cultivation technique seemed to have thought about the side effects.
Therefore, not only did he not let Xu Wan’er speed up her cultivation, but he also let her cultivate steadily.
Every once in a while, he would undergo a divine soul cleansing on her.
Therefore, Xu Wan’er cultivated an other path cultivation technique, but her foundation was not solid.
In addition, the other party did not deliberately let Xu Wan’er cultivate any powerful divine ability. Instead, he emphasized the importance of building a foundation.
When Jing Ming found Xu Wan’er, she was actually focused on cultivating some elementary divine ability.
In Jing Ming’s opinion, this was even more precious.
Therefore, even though Xu Wan’er had been in the lower realm for decades, in reality, what she had done was better than many heavenly prides of the upper realm.
As long as the time was right, Xu Wan’er could completely accumulate her strength and soar to the top.
Therefore, Jing Ming felt that he could send Xu Wan’er to the thousand-year battle.
Although the little girl had been very polite on the surface recently, Jing Ming could tell that she missed the lower realm or rather a particular someone.
He could use the thousand-year battle as a gimmick and promise her that as long as she could reach the Nascent Soul Stage within a hundred years, he would let her go to the Moongazer Serpent Realm through the thousand-year battle.
The girl would definitely work very hard to see a certain someone.
Jing Ming immediately felt that his idea was very good.
Not only could this motivate Xu Wan’er’s enthusiasm for cultivation, but it also reduced her possible rebellious mentality. It was killing two birds with one stone.
Who knew what would happen when these two people met in the lower realm.
By the way, Xu Wan’er still didn’t know what Meng Ruyan really looked like.
This information gap might allow her to gain the upper hand.
The two people from the Moongazer Serpent Realm, Xu Wan’er and Meng Ruyan, were ready to participate in this thousand-year battle.
The other two cultivators from the Moongazer Serpent Realm naturally couldn’t escape either.
Memory Sect, outer sect.
“Junior Brother Bai, the elder is looking for you.”
Bai Dafei, who was refining pills in his residence, heard the impatient voice outside the door and hurriedly ran out.
Before long, he was brought to the residence of an elder.
When the other party saw Bai Dafei, he immediately asked,” I heard that you’re from the Moongazer Serpent Realm?”
Bai Dafei’s head buzzed when he heard that.
He rubbed his head and confusingly asked, “Elder Shen, I am indeed from the Moongazer Serpent Realm. What’s wrong?”
Upon hearing this, the Memory Sect elder directly told him about the thousand-year battle and said that he was one of the people participating in the battle.
When Bai Dafei left Elder Shen’s residence, he was still in a daze.
He had researched and knew that the Memory Sect was a sect that specialized in arrays and pill refinement.
Why was he sent out not long after he arrived?
“Didn’t they say that I only need to refine pills not do anything dangerous???” Bai Dafei thought.
However, after hearing that they were going to his hometown, Bai Dafei did not resist.
Not returning home after success is letting his family down.
Bai Dafei was looking forward to seeing the expressions of the others in the sect, especially his master and Junior Brother Lu.
Wait a minute, remove Junior Brother Lu.
This guy was not an ordinary person. Other people could not come to the Upper Realm, Bai Dafei must have felt that the other party’s talent was not enough.
However, if Lu Yuan did not come. It could only be said that he did not want to come.
In terms of talent, Lu Yuan was the most monstrous one he had ever seen.
After all, the few times Bai Dafei and Lu Yuan met proved this point.
No matter how the outside world bragged about their geniuses, they all turn into a bunch of clowns when they met his Junior Brother Lu.
Thinking of this, Bai Dafei made up his mind.
When he returned to the Lower Realm, he would let Junior Brother Lu know in advance and ask him to cooperate with him when the time came. He would not ruin his chances.
Xuanyang Sect.
“Mu Qiqi, Zhuang Yangbing, are you two from the Moongazer Realm?”
Mu Qiqi and Zhuang Yangbing looked at each other and nodded.
The outer sect elder of Xuanyang Sect thought for a moment and said, “Both of you have good talent. In this thousand-year battle of the Spirit Sword Sect, the two of you will represent my sect.”
“Don’t worry, the two of you are just there to make up the numbers. The truly powerful opponents don’t need you to deal with them. The Spirit Sword Sect cultivator will do it.”
“Go back and prepare well. With your talent, you should have a chance to reach the Nascent Soul Stage before the thousand-year battle.”
“Yes.”
After Mu Qiqi and Zhuang Yangbing left, they returned to their respective residence. It seemed that they didn’t have much of a relationship.
However, it made sense. Mu Qiqi was from Qingyun Sect, and Zhuang Yangbing was from Xueyang Sect.
Even though Zhuang Yangbing had basically defected from Xueyang Mountain, Mu Qiqi didn’t care.
In addition to Mu Qiqi’s straightforward personality, she basically showed all her emotions on her face.
Therefore, she never hid her disgust for Zhuang Yangbing.
Zhuang Yangbing was a steady person who would not deliberately interact with someone who doesn’t like him.
Therefore, even though they were both from the Moongazer Serpent Realm, they didn’t have much interaction.
Even though they knew that they would be going to the Moongazer Serpent Realm soon, they still didn’t want to talk to each other.
What the two of them didn’t know was that in this thousand-year battle, including the two of them, Bai Dafei, Xu Wan’er and Meng Ruyan, there were already five people from the Moongazer Serpent Realm who would return.
Moreover, these five people were all people who carried luck in the lower realm.
No matter how one looked at it, the thousand-year battle this time would not be too peaceful.
With so many people with luck gathered together, it was doubtful that there was no one deliberately doing this.
After all, at their level, they already had the ability to observe luck.
This… It shouldn’t be a coincidence..
