YM778.TV Chapter 910: Searching
On a distant barren mountain, the Flowing Wind Celestial Sovereign pensively gazed at the Overflowing Heaven Mirror in his hand.
Members of the Stellar Net Gate and Heaven\'s Equal Sect stood behind him.
Ever since he had led his group to this area three months ago, the Overflowing Heaven Mirror had completely lost track of Tang Jie\'s location, and they could no longer find any trace of him.
Flowing Wind had no choice but to wait and see when the information on the target would reappear.
He hadn\'t imagined that he would end up waiting three months.
Three months was a period of time that was neither too long nor too short for a cultivator. During meditation, this time could go by in the blink of an eye, but it was completely different when they had worries that made it difficult to focus, or they couldn\'t cultivate at all. After all, many of them had cultivation secrets that they couldn\'t expose to outsiders.
For someone who had nothing to do, three months was rather long.
Today was as usual, the Overflowing Heaven Mirror showing no information on Tang Jie.A cultivator finally lost their patience, saying, "When are we going to be done with the waiting?"
This person was Jade Truth, an Earth Immortal of the Stellar Net Gate.
The Heaven\'s Equal Sect had never been on good terms with the Stellar Net Gate, and it was only because of Tang Jie that they were working together. But after two years of no results and their progress having completely stalled, being together was insufferable, like a fish bone stuck in one\'s throat.
Flowing Wind glanced at him and indifferently said, "Reverend Jade Truth has already lost his patience?"
Jade Truth heard the derision in his voice and raged, "When this old man was in seclusion for five hundred years, you were probably still a pup! Waiting patiently is one thing, but blindly waiting when there\'s no hope at all is another. I just think that there are some people who are too incompetent. \'Fate Dao armament\'? \'Overflowing Heaven Mirror\'? All this talk about incomparable foresight and prediction seems like empty boasting to me."
A Heaven\'s Equal Sect cultivator angrily rebuked, "Junior Brother Flowing Wind is the number one genius of my Heaven\'s Equal Sect, who only needed 2,200 years to cultivate to this state, even earning the ancestor\'s guidance and entering the Dao of Fate, grasping the Overflowing Heaven Divination method. He\'s not something that an incompetent old thing like you can compare to!"
Jade Truth was furious. "What did you say?"
"I called you incompetent!" the cultivator bluntly said.
Jade Truth threw his head back and laughed. "I\'m incompetent? We\'ve been hunting for two years with no results, so I wonder who the real incompetent is here."
"That\'s all because you gave us the wrong name at first."
"We can\'t know that the name is fake until we actually catch him. Besides, when that kid gave the name, your Heaven\'s Equal Sect\'s people were there also."
"But we didn\'t offer it up like it was some kind of treasure."
The two argued back and forth, neither backing down. After all, they were both Earth Immortals, so they had nothing to be afraid of.
In the end, Flowing Wind sternly said, "Enough. You\'re all at Immortal Platform, your souls turned to Gods and your bodies turned Immortal, so why is it that your heart is still in the mortal world, obsessed with winning a war of words?"
"Junior Brother Flowing Wind, you shouldn\'t say that. The Dao of Immortals is only on cultivation and has no connection to one\'s mental state. Junior Brother, don\'t fall for the trap of those monks and nuns. All that talk about mental state is just nonsense. If achieving a transcendent mental state were all it took to attain the Great Dao, why would we need to cultivate? And don\'t those demons of the Primordial Fog Domain all get involved with those vile mortal businesses? The thought that those who attain the Dao must be of high virtue is only an assumption. Have you not seen all those ruthless tyrants who control the world through violence, and those Immortals bickering back and forth? The unaware take this for a war of words, but those in the know realize that they are discussing the Dao! Hahahaha!"
The one who spoke was Mou Siming, the Prison Envoy of the Stellar Net Gate. His profession was that of punishment and pursuit, and his subordinates were all rather shady. People called him the God of the Fate Department (Siming), which was how he got his name, and it seemed like he also had quite the silver tongue.
He laughed so hard that everyone else was rendered speechless.
But Flowing Wind remained indifferent. "If the Overflowing Heaven Mirror can\'t divine this person\'s location, there are only two possibilities. The first is that this person is even stronger in the Dao of Fate than me together with the Overflowing Heaven Mirror. However, judged by his past performance, while this person has some abilities in the Dao of Fate, he has not reached this level yet. The other possibility is that he is no longer in Vast Wilderness."
"\'No longer in Vast Wilderness\'?" a cultivator said. "Then where did he go? Could it be…"
Flowing Wind nodded. "Yes. There\'s a very high chance that he went to another domain."
"But there\'s no way someone of his strength could pass through the Domain Astral Winds," Mou Siming said.
The Astral Winds of the Vast Wilderness Continent were much stronger than those of other domains, and one had to at least be an Earth Immortal to pass through them.
"I didn\'t say that he left through the Astral Winds. If he had done that, the Overflowing Heaven Mirror would have placed his last location as beyond the heavens, not here."
"You\'re talking about a teleportation formation?" Mou Siming said in shock.
A teleportation formation that could cross between domains was no small matter, and even the Vast Wilderness Continent only had a few, all under the control of various major sects.
And any domain linked by teleportation formation had already been vassalized by the Vast Wilderness Continent. From a certain perspective, the Vast Wilderness Continent wasn\'t too different from the Primordial Fog Domain. They both constantly invaded other domains. At best, because they were from the same plane, they treated the other domains a little better.
Thus, Mou Siming couldn\'t help but be excited at the news of another teleportation formation appearing.
This was also why Flowing Wind had been unwilling to talk about it.
The internal strife had finally forced him to bring it up in order to calm everyone down.
He slowly said, "Since this person disappeared around here, the teleportation formation must be here. Alas, we can\'t grasp his exact route, so it will be difficult to locate the teleportation formation. This is why I\'ve been waiting here. Once he reappears, it will be at the location of the teleportation formation."
Mou Siming chuckled and shook his head. "If that\'s the case, then we will wait here."
Flowing Wind shook his head. "There\'s no need. Since this person has a teleportation formation, he probably isn\'t a Vast Wilderness native. Given that he hasn\'t appeared in three months, I\'m very worried that he\'s noticed a problem and run off, never to return."
"What then?"
"There\'s only one option: to investigate this person\'s details. The more details we have of him, the more effective the Overflowing Heaven Mirror is. We might even be able to find the teleportation formation."
"Alright, so how will we investigate him?"
"Have both sects issue orders to gather the people in the area and investigate this person. Since he came through teleportation, he can\'t have come out of nowhere, nor could he have left no trace on his way, particularly since he was traveling in a group with two women, one of them being a demon cultivator," Flowing Wind swiftly said.
"Okay!" everyone agreed.
"What about you?" Mou Siming glanced at Flowing Wind.
Flowing Wind smiled. "I\'m going to find a person."
"Who?"
"Hong Qianli." With a wave of his hand, the figure of the Flame Celestial Sovereign appeared in the Overflowing Heaven Mirror.
