474: Chapter 53 Journey to the East 474: Chapter 53 Journey to the East There are already quite a few who know of Xie Xuanyi’s identity.
This layer of identity, at first, could be considered top secret…
but as turmoil unfolded in Qing State, the Xuanshui Competition, and the Northern Hunting Demon Tribulation,
Xie Xuanyi understood clearly
that this identity, would probably be hard to keep hidden for long.
Pure Yang Sect Leader, Lu Yuzhen, Miao Zhen, Ao Ying.
Xie Xuanyi didn’t conceal anything; he recounted the recent events once more in the identity of Xie Xuanyi.
Chen Jingxuan listened attentively, while also reaching out to pluck a Golden Line from the void.
The state’s vital instrument, Roundness Instrument, though typically hidden deep in the Book Tower,
But Chen Jingxuan, after all, is a Sky Watcher; as long as he was inside the Great Chu Imperial City, he could readily manipulate the Heavenly Fate Line.
“It’s fine.”
Chen Jingxuan concluded silently after listening: “Currently, your fate line is not tumultuous, if the ‘Beihai Killing Array’ were to recur, it definitely would not be this sort of sight.”
“You can see my fate line?”
Xie Xuanyi raised an eyebrow.
Not long ago, Fa Li, in the Buddha Sound Forest, spied into his Divine Sea and was blinded by Sword Qi.
“Your fate line is different from others, like the blazing sun that sears the eyes.”
Chen Jingxuan smiled and said: “I once tried to ‘look directly,’ but I couldn’t do it…
However, there are always other ways to observe the ‘sun.’ If the sky’s overcast, then naturally it means the sun has set.
The endpoint which this thread of fate line leads to is not you, but rather Lotus Peak of the Da Sui Sword Palace.”
Xie Xuanyi is safe.
Lotus Peak’s fate must naturally be prosperous.
“Although the fate line is calm, you still need to be cautious on this journey east.”
Chen Jingxuan spoke gravely: “Even traveling with the embassy from Fan Yin Temple, safety isn’t guaranteed…
The identity of Xie Zhen may be somewhat safer than Xie Xuanyi, yet now there are many enemies.
Take, for example, Prince Jiangning, Xie Zhisu, outwardly he believed the news that the Princely Heir died at the hands of a demoness, chose to lay low and give up.
But this matter is certainly far from over, you killed Xie Sheng, and he will definitely come to settle this account.”
“It’s not just Prince Jiangning.
Throughout the Four Borders of the Great Chu Dynasty, there are still many watching you.”
“I understand.”
Xie Xuanyi nodded.
He was well aware, this journey east was fraught with danger…
“Regarding the brother of Chu Yin…”
Xie Xuanyi suddenly remembered something: “This legitimate heir to the throne, where is he now?”
“In Da Li Country’s Yuan Province, the Marquis of the West Pavilion is stationed.”
Chen Jingxuan spoke: “The news of Chu Guo being sent to Li Kingdom, from top to bottom, only four people know.
The upheaval from ten years ago was too bloody; Chu Yin stayed in the Imperial City, while he, with the identity of ‘Li People,’ was sent to an ordinary family within the boundaries of Yuan Province.
The owner of Faungyuan Square in Li Kingdom, Fire Master, is responsible for ensuring Chu Guo’s safety.”
“Li People?”
Xie Xuanyi raised an eyebrow.
“Yes.”
Chen Jingxuan said calmly: “In this world, those able to pry into heavenly fate are not just me.
Great Chu has a Sky Watcher, Da Li also has a String Controller.
Nalan Xuance’s Mechanical Techniques, even my master would have to withdraw thrice before, to send the future Prince of Da Chu safely to grow in Da Li requires a certain price to be paid.”
“You mean to say…
Chu Guo doesn’t know he’s Chu Guo?”
Hearing this, Xie Xuanyi’s expression grew odd.
“The Book Tower has sealed a piece of memory within Chu Guo’s Divine Sea.”
Chen Jingxuan spoke slowly: “Back then my cultivation was shallow, it was my teacher who took action to set up the ‘Life Soul Restriction’, this thread of Divine Soul restriction will gradually unlock as he grows older.
Over the years, Chu Guo should often dream, in these dreams he will see the sealed images from the Book Tower, thus realizing the peculiarities of his own identity.”
“Life Soul Restriction…”
Xie Xuanyi’s expression also became solemn.
This technique, while sounding vicious, is actually extremely gentle.
The caster needs to consume a great amount of Divine Soul power, solidifying it into a gift and sending it into the other’s Soul Sea.
Ten years ago.
Yan Xin sent Chu Guo away, also sending his own “Divine Soul”…
this was a tremendous gift that would help Chu Guo awaken his Divine Sea, stepping onto the path of cultivation early.
“The reason why we wish to bring Chu Guo back to Chu Country, is actually a move of desperation.”
Chen Jingxuan massaged his temples.
He sighed: “These past few years, Li Kingdom has been even more unstable than Chu Country…
Nalan Xuance and Chen Chong united to suppress Buddhism, the Marquis of the West Pavilion being one of the three great patrons of Fan Yin Temple, was first to be targeted by the two.
The entire Yuan Province is shrouded in smoke and miasma, the originally self-sufficient Fire Master, due to a series of changes, is stretched thin and no longer able to look after Chu Guo.
Lately, there have even been abnormalities in the severed connections of the Divine Soul Order.
This series of events, gives me an ominous premonition.”
“You suspect that Nalan Xuance has discovered the existence of Chu Guo?” Xie Xuanyi raised an eyebrow.
“Not necessarily.”
Chen Jingxuan shook his head: “With Nalan Xuance’s methods, if he wanted to kill Chu Guo, he would act outright without need for complicated schemes.
Currently, with incessant internal strife in Da Li, Yuan Province has become a battlefield…
Right now, the best option is to bring Chu Guo back safely within our borders.”
“I understand.”
Xie Xuanyi thought for a moment, then asked a serious question: “If I meet Chu Guo…
do I need to tell him his true identity?”
…
…
“How long is this youngster Xie Zhen going to talk?”
In another courtyard of the Royal Garden.
Petals fell like rain, water gurgled, and the sound of the guqin floated softly.
Duan Zhao and Deng Baiyi sat at a square table set for eight, sipping wine, drinking tea, before them lay a full table of delicacies.
There was a third guest present.
True Master Jun Shan rested his chin on his hand, holding a wine cup and indifferently tapped it against the edge of the table; he was always short on patience, and today he was invited here by Chen Jingxuan, to meet with Xie Zhen…
The agreement with Great Pudu Temple was fulfilled by Xie Zhen, and he too had made up his mind, ready to accompany the youngster on a trip to Li Kingdom.
