Chapter 1973: Chapter 1973: Heavenly Pattern Treasure, Still Calling You Unforgetting
After casting a few glances, Pei Kuang gradually infused True Qi into the golden crystal ball.
Buzzing sound...
This golden crystal ball suddenly transformed into countless golden lights that formed intricate and complex vein patterns, which quickly filled the entire room. Pei Kuang stared at these patterns while his body’s True Qi flickered.
Bang!
It was hard to tell how much time had passed, but suddenly the surrounding golden patterns exploded and disappeared.
The golden crystal ball then returned to its original state, which made Pei Kuang’s eyes flash with anger as he bitterly said, "Given my current Martial Arts Talent and realm, unraveling this ’Heavenly Pattern Treasure’ is extremely difficult."
This thing certainly isn’t called Magic Box...
The so-called Magic Box was merely a name randomly given by Sikong Jing and the Soul Dominator Venerable.
The true name of this treasure is the Heavenly Pattern Treasure.
Sikong Jing didn’t know this, but Pei Kuang did, and he even possessed one, gleaning insights from it.
He muttered to himself again, "Without unraveling the Heavenly Pattern Treasure, reaching the Divine Martial Stage is a remote possibility. It’s a pity that I still haven’t found the Evil Charm Sacred Body, otherwise, I could enhance my talents."
Pei Kuang was still preoccupied with the matter of the Evil Charm Sacred Body, but now confirmed that Jiang Wanyou and her daughter were merely the Blood Charm Demon Cat Battle Body.
"I must conquer the Central Plains to find various treasures and other things to unravel this Heavenly Pattern Treasure, with hopes to acquire more Heavenly Pattern Treasures. Only upon reaching the Divine Martial Stage can I control everything."
"Only then will I truly have the qualification to extend my hand towards the Canghai Wujiang..."
At this point, Pei Kuang’s voice became extremely hoarse, as if recalling some past events, and he coldly stated, "Then I will be unlike several decades ago, having to request others to eliminate just one Su Beiheng."
His eyes flashed with a cold light, and his fists involuntarily clenched...
Now, he is undeniably recognized as the number one expert under heaven, but as soon as anyone mentions him, they inevitably bring up Su Beiheng. Many even say that if it weren’t for the mysterious demon beast’s claw back then, Pei Kuang would have long been finished.
Carrying this feeling for decades, of course, is extremely, extremely unpleasant.
"What ability does the Overlord Commerce have to resist me?"
Suddenly, Pei Kuang shifted his thoughts back, still unable to understand the power of the Overlord Commerce.
He had considered personally teleporting to Willow Leaf City to see, but Pei Kuang was very cautious, never letting anger cloud his judgment, although the deaths of Pei Chang and others indeed caused considerable harm to Qianwang Holy Tower.
But the damage has not yet reached the core, so there’s no need to risk it now.
Teleportation cannot be accomplished on a large scale; going alone is indeed risky, and many under heaven want him dead.
...
Outside the Willow Leaf Forest, in a certain northern location, on Mieqing Venerable’s Divine Shuttle Ship.
In a certain cabin of the ship, Sikong Jing met Mieqing Venerable, and then he slowly took off the Dark Wing Mask.
Yet Mieqing Venerable’s eyes were still blood-red; truly, she had been very worried about Sikong Buwang during these days.
But this kid was actually a liar, tricking her completely...now her red eyes were not only due to the excitement of seeing him again, but of course also because of anger.
Right now, she couldn’t help but grit her teeth with anger as she stared at Sikong Jing’s face after he took off the mask, but ultimately sighed and asked, "Why are you willing to reveal your identity to me now? Have you finally decided to trust me?"
At this point, she couldn’t resist pulling out a sneer, thinking Sikong Jing’s initial secrecy was due to distrust.
Mieqing Venerable felt utterly used by Sikong Jing.
Across from her, Sikong Jing, of course, fully understood Mieqing Venerable’s feelings...
But he still answered straightforwardly, "Because I saw Ling’er doing well during this time, I am not just an East Plain Northern Land kid. I am also a brother, a brother who must ensure his sister’s safety and happiness."
As a brother, naturally, ensuring his sister’s safety is the priority, any mishap or risk cannot be tolerated.
Not trusting Mieqing Venerable back then was very normal.
Furthermore, the situation in Wanbing City was too chaotic and complicated, involving too many people, thus he could only conceal things from Mieqing Venerable.
Only after truly seeing Mieqing Venerable care for Sikong Ling, only after witnessing Mieqing Venerable’s Supreme Forget Love Technique genuinely change, no longer heartless, did he decide to tell Mieqing Venerable the truth.
Mieqing Venerable heard his words, staring blankly at Sikong Jing...
If it was before, she certainly wouldn’t understand these things, but she had just gone through a dilemma concerning Ah Chi, fully comprehending Sikong Jing’s helpless struggle as an East Plain kid.
Mind you, not merely about his matter as Elder Su Demon’s son-in-law, but facing the imperative to sever emotional ties with Wunian Saint Sect.
Before truly growing up, he certainly had to be extremely cautious.
Finally, Mieqing Venerable sighed again, ceasing to probe the trust issue further, instead concernedly asking, "How’s your injury? I have medicine..."
Upon hearing this, Sikong Jing’s whole body trembled wildly, his eyes slightly rising with warmth.
He recalled Mieqing Venerable’s crazy search for him entering Wuji Town and Lingque Secret Realm back then, and his heart was a mix of emotions, finally hoarsely speaking, "Mieqing Venerable, there’s no need to worry, this injury is nothing to me."
Saying so, Sikong Jing, right in front of Mieqing Venerable, continued to apply the Duoye Seal.
He constantly repaired the injuries on his body.
Looking at the overwhelming vitality surging from Sikong Jing’s body, watching Sikong Jing clearly having only reached the Emperor Realm yet displaying explosive powerful True Qi, Mieqing Venerable’s face again showed deep shock...
Back then in Wanbing City, she knew Sikong Buwang was a super terrifying talent, but didn’t expect him to reach the Emperor Martial Stage’s Emperor Realm in such a short time, even taking down Feng Leibao live.
"Buwang, I’ll still call you Buwang."
Suddenly Mieqing Venerable spoke again, emphasizing that she didn’t plan to change Sikong Jing’s appellation, still recognizing only the original Sikong Buwang.
Without waiting for Sikong Jing to make any rebuttal, she continued to ask, "You’re part of Elder Su Demon’s remnants, correct?"
Sikong Jing while restoring his body with the Duoye Seal, nodded and confirmed, "Yes, I am currently their Young Master, I possess the things Grandpa Su directly taught, my enemy is Qianwang Holy Tower."
At this moment, Sikong Jing no longer concealed anything, but stated everything openly.
Then he more thoroughly explained the matters of the Willow Leaf City war, saying everything clearly, prior when Su Yuexi told Mieqing Venerable it already shocked her once, now the second time.
Because Sikong Jing’s explanation was even clearer...
After digesting it for a while, Mieqing Venerable further asked, "Is Overlord Commerce preparing to publicly declare war on Qianwang Holy Tower?"
This question immediately caused Sikong Jing’s brows to knit slightly, then he shook his head and said, "Currently, we can’t openly declare war; as long as Qianwang Holy Tower doesn’t launch a full-scale battle, Overlord Commerce cannot engage..."
At present, Qianwang Holy Tower’s ability to rally support is still too strong, Overlord Commerce cannot act recklessly.
"Can it be sustained?" Mieqing Venerable asked further.
Qianwang Holy Tower has suffered its most painful defeat in decades, since Elder Su Demon’s battle, how could they not act?
Even if Overlord Commerce doesn’t want to fight, Qianwang Holy Tower has to agree...
To this, Sikong Jing gently shook his head and replied, "Unsure, but if it can be stalled, stall it; need to find ways to stall it."
