I Have Countless Past-life Identities-Chapter 58 - 55: Overwhelming Power Beyond Control, Gaining Insight into the ‘Vajra, Yellow Court, Carefree’ Three Stages in the Demon Hunting Department!
Wutong Prefecture is adjacent to the Demon-Suppressing Great Wall; it is the most northwestern prefecture in Baoping State, yet the Prefecture Venerable is actually a ’Sinful Blood Half-Demon’?
This...
If we let him remain in the position of Prefecture Venerable...
Wouldn’t all the cities and prefectures under Baoping State end up being infiltrated?
"What Sinful Blood Half-Demon?"
"We are human, and one even more exceptional!"
As if seeing through the thoughts of Jiang Yi, Bai Qiuyi gave a half-smile:
"I am from the Divine Blood Sect, leftovers of once noble families ranked Dukes and Princes!"
"A Half-Demon is a union between humans and demon monsters; their bloodline is unstable and aptitude generally poor. Yet, our ancestors merged human’s mystical essence with the noble blood of demons, continuously purifying until the birth of the ’Divine Blood Nobility’ of the former Zhao."
"They cannot be confused as one, mixed into a single thing."
"Not even a Fourth Step individual can discern it unless under close scrutiny, ordinary people, how could they notice anything?"
"If not for..."
Seemingly recalling something, Bai Qiuyi’s face turned dark, refraining from further words, he stared at Jiang Yi:
"Enough, why bother telling you this."
"My disciple, do you understand what it means that circumstances are beyond human control?"
Jiang Yi’s expression changed slightly.
"Baoping State, and Shaoyang Mountain, is the mountain gate established by our branch of the Profound Dragon Bai Clan."
"Already, the Elder Ancestor there has broken free from decay, crossed the Fourth Step, and stands as a towering beacon in Baoping State’s Jianghu. Even though the Demon Hunter General may have suspicions, the government office’s people cannot manage the affairs of Jianghu concerning the Fourth Step!"
"In ages past, only one person dared intervene unreasonably, that being the Great Demon Hunter Master."
"Come with me, and as your mentor, I will infuse you with ’Profound Dragon Blood,’ causing mutations in your innate spiritual quality, aiming towards the realm of ’Profound Level.’"
"Do you grasp the concept of Profound Level?"
"A spiritual form could cultivate Great Innate without much barrier, because it comes with the ability to comprehend ’Heaven and Earth Pure Spirit Qi,’ possessing potential to sprint towards the third step ’Primordial Pill.’
"Yet Profound Level!"
"Implies you possess the potential to reach the Fourth Step!"
"Your fiancée in the Divine Capital, your rivals, those noble descendants of military gates, which among them isn’t of such a bloodline? Your spiritual form may be strong, but can you truly suppress them!"
"In the subsequent cultivation journey, should nothing unexpected occur, the gap will inevitably widen."
"Do you only ponder your own ’Ancestors’ Glory’? No, you aim to secure dominance for yourself!"
"The so-called identity is trivial in the face of absolute power."
"Also, Jiang Yi, how are you certain this Great Zhao River and Mountains are immovable?"
"Even the Great Demon Hunter Master didn’t live to see this era."
"When that day comes, when Baoping State is divided amongst us, aiming toward Ming Huang State Divine Capital, what does it matter to be awarded a noble title? Even a Duke is within reach!"
"You are my disciple, follow me, your status will be significant, and the future may not lack a day to return to the Divine Capital, lighting up your ancestral glory."
"Don’t be a fool."
Bai Qiuyi opened his arms, allowing the fierce winds of the mountain forest to blow wildly, his long white hair flowing with abandon, transforming from his usual warm and gentle demeanor.
This made Jiang Yi’s expression fluctuate; fists clenched and unclenched.
Seeing this, Bai Qiuyi sneered, having sensed the timely moment, turned to the two previous loyal officials by his side and began speaking in secret:
"The movement of two significant figures in the government office indicates that Song Chai Xin must have been favored by certain Great Sage in the Martial Temple."
"I will take my disciple and return first to Shayang Mountain."
"By regulation, a Wutong Leader can be exceptionally promoted to a Seventh-Grade Guardian, albeit without connections, it’s tough to achieve. Yet behind Song Chai Xin stands the century-old Xie Family, and there’s Xie Qiaoxuan that old oddity, coupled with the advice from two great figures..."
"It’s nearly certain he will be appointed as Guardian."
"Having operated Wutong Prefecture for over a decade, the hidden intricacies, the black pieces, and white pieces I planted are countless, especially in remote places." 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦
"You two investigate where he becomes Guardian, once I ascertain this young man’s foundation, we shall recruit him onto our ship, even if it requires force."
"I have a gut feeling, though I don’t know why."
"Give Song Chai Xin thirty years."
"He..."
"Might become renown across the land."
Bai Qiuyi narrowed his eyes.
A mere youth of sixteen or seventeen,
managed to sever the segment of a Flood Dragon’s tail of the Jing River Dragon Court branch, in the Zither Sword Pavilion’s rear mountain.
For Gua Hua, this might be an unbearable insult, especially since he’s nominally ’the father,’ an utter disgrace wishing to eliminate Song Chai Xin personally.
But Bai Qiuyi doesn’t quite see it the same way.
In a certain sense, Song Chai Xin naturally belongs to our camp.
Furthermore, as a Half-Demon evolving as ’Divine Blood Species,’
Compared to nurturing the promising Jiang Yi, Bai Qiuyi possesses numerous means to enhance Song Chai Xin’s aptitude, after all, the legacy ranking equal to a Prince or Duke from decades ago is not a jest.
Even though Song Chai Xin ruined his ’major affair.’
One who reached Bai Qiuyi’s stature, are there indeed people he must obliterate?
The more brilliant he is, the more pleased Bai Qiuyi becomes.
Because Great Zhao might not accommodate a fourth-step Half-Demon.
But if it serves the Divine Blood Sect...
Bai Qiuyi even hopes for Song Chai Xin to ascend effortlessly, achieving True Master, even if not possible, let there be another ’Great Demon Hunter Master,’ making the heavens of Great Zhao turn upside down once more!!
If necessary,
even using measures to bind him onto the boat, akin to Jiang Yi here.
Isn’t out of the question!
