Free Web NovelChapter 213: A Journey for Power and Answers”
He did not notice that as Fu Young cheered up, the lingering gloom in his own heart had quietly disappeared as well.
"Mm."
Fu Young nodded.
He had figured it out.
His master did not allow him to go because of certain concerns.
As long as he resolved those issues himself and hurried to catch up, his master would have no reason to send him away. freewebnøvel.coɱ
Why insist on getting permission?
After Xiao Shou left, he had no idea what his disciple was thinking.
He simply assumed, as usual, that his disciple had obediently accepted his instructions.
As Xiao Shou smiling with satisfaction, he said, "Wait patiently for me to come back. I will leave everything in the sect to you. Those people have just arrived, so some of them may have hidden intentions. Be careful. Do not hand over control of the Tier 5 formation to anyone. And do not let the special Five Thunder Beads leave your side..."
"Alright, I understand," Fu Young replied.
Even without the Tier 5 formations or the Five Thunder Beads, he could wipe them all out on his own.
If they truly dared to violate their heart demon oath and rebe and making his master unhappy, he would make them experience what true hell meant.
A terrifying thought flashed through Fu Young’s mind, yet his face remained bright with a cheerful smile.
Early the next morning, Xiao Shou made preparations, then teleported to Azure Origin City.
From there, he used the public teleportation array to travel to the Sunfall Domain.
For some reason, security in Azure Origin City was extremely strict this time with heavy patrols and inspections.
It took quite some effort before he finally managed to slip away and complete the teleportation.
The moment Xiao Shou stepped out of the array and officially entered the Sunfall Domain, he felt like a fish out of water.
It took him quite a while to adjust.
No wonder orthodox cultivators disliked coming here and considered all tasks related to the Sunfall Domain the most undesirable.
The spiritual energy here was far too thin, almost nonexistent.
Still, it felt somewhat similar to the world he lived in before transmigrating, though the air here was much fresher.
As Xiao Shou walked, he released his divine sense and gathering information about his surroundings.
After an hour, while sitting in a teahouse within the city tower, he learned that this place was called Verdant Sun City.
It was a settlement for independent cultivators in the Sunfall Domain.
Most people here were low level cultivators who had gained their abilities through chance encounters or those with limited talent who could not advance far along with their families.
They lived here because there was still a trace of spiritual energy.
Further south, there was truly no spiritual energy at all.
That was the real Sunfall Domain.
There were dozens of nations of varying sizes, yet not a single teleportation array connected them.
Among these, nine nations were the strongest, each with vast territory.
Behind these nine nations stood nine great sects.
The citizens of these nations were the primary source of disciples for the sects, while the sects provided protection and military support in return.
As for the smaller nations, they had already been divided among other forces.
The Great Liang Kingdom where the original owner of this body came from was one of those nine nations and they are backed by the Heavenly Void Sect.
That was why, when evil cultivators rampaged through his hometown back then, the disciples of the Heavenly Void Sect had come to complete a mission and saving him along with Xiao Ran and Xiao Yi.
As for the relationships between the nine nations, they were shaped by alliances and rivalries between the sects, leading to frequent wars.
However, none of that concerned Xiao Shou.
He had only come here to obtain the opportunities recorded in the original owner’s memories and to gather enough Thousand Illusion Jade.
If possible, he might also investigate clues related to the original owner’s origins.
Other matters were not worth his attention.
After finishing his tea and receiving a map of the Sunfall Domain from the shop attendant, Xiao Shou studied it briefly before standing up and leaving the city.
The Sunfall Domain was vast for mortal and still quite large even for ordinary cultivators, but for a Nascent Soul cultivator, it was not much of an obstacle.
By following the map, Xiao Shou flew for two days and arrived at the borders of the Great Liang Kingdom.
However, when he landed and looked at the boundary marker, he suddenly realized a problem.
Before being taken to the Heavenly Void Sect’s marketplace, the original owner had only been an ordinary child from a small mountain village.
All he knew was that he came from the Great Liang Kingdom, from Xiao Family Village, along with memories of the surrounding area.
Beyond that, he knew nothing.
To make matters worse, in the original story, Xiao Ran had never returned here.
The Great Liang Kingdom was enormous.
With only a village name, it would be extremely difficult to locate, especially since it was already a destroyed village.
Xiao Shou stood there for a moment, at a loss, considering various methods.
Then he suddenly thought of something similar to household registration records from his previous world.
If cultivator methods would not work, then he would use mortal methods instead.
The destruction of an entire village like Xiao Family Village likely was not an isolated incident, especially since it was caused by evil cultivators and it was big enough to alarm the Heavenly Void Sect.
Based on the original owner’s age, this would have happened about fourteen years ago.
If he checked official government records, he should be able to find clues.
Since he did not know the exact location, he decided to first try local authorities.
If he could gather information among common people, that would be even better. If not, he would have to go to the capital of the Great Liang Kingdom.
