Heaven Refining physique-Chapter 61: Truth Seeker

In the city, on the border of Zhu Kingdom, two cultivators arrived today. They seemed quite ordinary as they had disguised themselves, but they were anything but ordinary.

In the cultivation world, at least in the eastern region, their cultivation realm would make them top mighty figures, comparable to supreme elders of the sects.

It is very hard to find cultivators of this level, as they are mainly in seclusion, trying to improve their cultivation as much as possible because after reaching the Heavenly King realm, advancement in the cultivation realm becomes far more difficult.

Cultivators who are able to reach this realm are geniuses of their time, but even then, this realm might become their last realm before their lifespan runs out.

Even minor advancement in the Heavenly King realm is comparable to major advancement if it is seen with respect to lower levels.

That’s why it is very rare to see these cultivators.

These two men weren’t alone; there were eight other cultivators who were following them. They all were in the Void Reversion realm, and all were at the peak stage of the realm.

There were a total of 10 cultivators who came in search of Ming Yue and Jiang Hao.

Five of them belonged to the Azure Sky Sect, and the other five belonged to the Ethereal Cloud Sanctuary.

They had agreed to send a similar amount of cultivators with similar strength so that there wouldn’t be any danger among themselves.

The leaders of both groups were in the early stage of the Heavenly King realm. Zhao Qiang was from the Azure Sky Sect, while Chen Xi was from the Ethereal Cloud Sanctuary.

Their names were quite popular in the central region. They both were considered rare geniuses.

They might not be equal to Heavenly Fairies in talent, but they were still stronger than them, as they both were in the Heavenly King realm, so it wouldn’t be a problem for them to deal with two Void Reversion realm cultivators. It wouldn’t matter even if both were supreme geniuses.

They hadn’t visited the Mountain Sword Sect; they came to this city to directly visit the branch of the Sky Pavilion.

This will help them understand the situation much faster than visiting the Mountain Sword Sect, which will just waste their time if Huan Caiyi and Zhi Hui are not there, which was possible the case.

When they arrived at the Sky Pavilion, Yu Hang was already waiting at the entrance and invited them in.

"To think I will be able to meet Senior Zhao and Senior Chen together, the heavens must have blessed me."

Zhao Qiang squinted his eyes.

"Has anyone told you how shameless you are? Don’t pretend that you don’t know the reason we visited. Even if you are a branch manager, you are still only in Void Reversion, so you better behave."

Yu Hang sighed internally and cursed himself for getting involved in this matter. He should have applied for changing his branch, but now it’s too late.

"Of course, senior, how can a weakling like me have the guts to act in front of you? What I said were heartfelt words from the bottom of my heart.

So, how can I help you, seniors?"

"So, have they asked about our movements or not?"

"Senior, although I respect you, I can’t answer your question unless—"

Before he could finish speaking, a storage bag was thrown at him. He caught it and checked inside. There were a lot of spirit stones inside it, so much that he sucked in a cold breath when he saw it.

"These will be enough for the whole mission, so you’d better cooperate from now on."

"Of course, senior. So about your question, if you were asking about the Heavenly Fairies, then yes, they did commission us with this task."

Zhao Qiang nodded and didn’t show any anger, as he knew that this was how the Sky Pavilion worked.

"Are they still inside the Mountain Sword Sect?"

"No, they have already left. Looks like they were afraid of the capabilities of your sects. They weren’t sure how much time you would take to arrive here and they were right. After all, it has only been 13 days, and you are here, seniors."

"Oh... are you inquiring about us?"

Zhao Qiang raised his eyebrows at him.

"Senior, you must be joking. I was just amazed at your capabilities."

"Heh... amazed at our capabilities? You sure can lie with a straight face. All of you Sky Pavilion cultivators are quite capable in this trait."

Chen Xi clicked his tongue in annoyance.

"Since they had already left 13 days ago, they might have reached the forbidden zone already."

Zhao Qiang looked at Chen Xi and said.

"We can figure that out"

Chen Xi nodded, looked towards Yu Hang, and asked,

"The Truth Seeker must have reached this branch, right?"

"Yes, senior, it has already reached here, but even I don’t have the authority to take it out from the protection array, so we have to go to the basement if you want to ask anything."

"Take us there." Zhao Qiang didn’t wait and stood up. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm

"Then follow me, seniors."

Yu Hang took them to the basement, which was totally covered in protection arrays. He took out his badge to open a passage and entered with 10 cultivators behind him.

Inside the basement, even more protection arrays were inscribed. Even Zhao Qiang and Chen Xi felt terror when they entered inside.

There was only one thought inside their heads right now. If they were trapped here, even they would die without any suspense.

There was a bowl placed on the table, which was exactly at the center of the basement.

Inside the bowl was a single thread. Its length was as big as an index finger and was golden in color.

"So, this is the most famous treasure of the Sky Pavilion, the Truth Seeker?"

"You are right, senior. Yesterday, I had also seen it for the first time in my life."

"So how does it work?"

"Senior, you have to stand within a range of 2 meters from it. There is already a specific spot drawn here. After that, you have to let it absorb your qi, and once it does that, you can ask your question. Please remember that it can be used for only two questions. After that, even if you use more qi, it won’t respond.

If it forms a full circle, then the answer is yes, and if it vibrates twice, then the answer is no. If you only want to ask one question, then after asking that question, move away from its range of 2 meters. Also, please specify as much as you can in the question to get the correct response."

"Interesting." Zhao Qiang nodded and looked towards Chen Xi.

"Since we already decided on the questions, you wouldn’t mind me questioning it first, right?"

"Of course, Brother Zhao. Although I want to try it too, I can do it later."

"Good."

Zhao Qiang moved and entered the place where he was supposed to stand. He looked towards the bowl and sent a stream of qi from his fingers.

The moment his qi entered the thread, it started floating and reached his eye level.

He stated his first question.

It was quite simple, as they wanted to know if the new person with a heavenly physique was also traveling with the Heavenly Fairies or not.

"Tell me, is it true that Jiang Hao of the Mountain Sword Sect, who has been termed as a supreme genius, is within 1,000 meters range of any one of the Heavenly Fairies of the central region? Their names are Zhi Hui and Huan Caiyi?"

He tried to be as specific as possible to get an accurate answer.

After his question finished, the thread started to shine and eventually moved to form a circle.

He sighed when he saw that. It proved that at least all of their targets were together.

Inwardly, though, he was also quite amused. They had lost Ming Yue because of those two, and now another cultivator who had a top-tier physique wouldn’t be able to come into their hands because of Huan Caiyi and Zhi Hui.

He wasn’t angry at them, though, because even if the Azure Sky Sect had Ming Yue, then they might have brainwashed her to become loyal to the sect, or in a rare chance, someone might have tried to take over her by assimilation. Since it had a lot of restrictions, assimilation might have been the last resort.

In any of these situations, he wouldn’t have gotten anything. He was, after all, just an early-stage Heavenly King realm cultivator, and there were a lot of cultivators similar to him present in the sect. Even though he was a genius, it wouldn’t change much.

But it’s different now. Since he was chosen for this mission, if he was able to complete it, then he would gain enough merits to become a branch master of his faction.

Not to mention if he was able to get his hands on Zhi Hui and Huan Caiyi, then he will able to ask the sect to forcefully marry at least one of them.

He has always courted Zhi Hui, but she always showed him or others cold shoulder. Same with Huan Caiyi, she was even more unruly, she doesn’t even care if they are stronger, she still cursed them openly.

When Chen Xi looked at the result even he sighed in relief, with this they will have more chance to search for their targets in dark forest or block them inside the forbidden zone.

He was also quite eager to complete this mission successfully, as the rewards offered for this mission were quite generous, he might be able to reach Mid Stage quite easily if got his hands on them.

Zhao Qiang looked at the thread, which was still floating in front of him, and asked the second question, which they had already decided on if the targets were together.
