Chapter 1430: Dao Heaven Mystic Realm
He Wei walked in from outside, taking big strides. He bowed down to Xuanyuan Lingyan and said, “Young Mistress Xuanyuan, please!”
Xuanyuan Lingyan was fuming. Yet, as she watched Jiang Yi start to walk out with a cool expression on his face, she started to feel anxious again. Before she arrived, her grandfather personally reminded her that Jiang Yi’s status was no longer the same as it was before. He was thought highly of by the Earth Emanations Sovereign himself. The Xuanyuan Clan was quite well-respected in the Demon-Killing Pavilion, but this was the Earth Emanations Domain after all!
What’s more, Di Ming thought highly of Jiang Yi as well. He nodded to giving him the Great Minister of Public Works position. If he did not, her grandfather would not have had the power to give it to Jiang Yi. Now that Jiang Yi was the Great Minister of Public Works, it would be easy for him to create trouble for their clan. Many of their clan’s disciples were Pavilion Branch Lords.
As she watched Jiang Yi walk out of the room, Xuanyuan Lingyan’s expression changed several times. Suddenly, she gritted her teeth and sent a voice transmission to him: “Jiang Yi, as long as you don’t destroy my chast.i.ty, the other things… are up to you!”
“Hahaha!”
Jiang Yi halted and turned around with a wide grin. He faced Xuanyuan Lingyan and scanned her beautiful body from head to toe. A sly smile appeared on his lips, and he sent a voice transmission back to her: “Young Mistress Xuanyuan, I was just joking with you. Did you take me that seriously? I destroyed that painting a long time ago. The feud between me and your Xuanyuan Clan is over. I hope you will know how to behave better in the future.”
Once he finished speaking, Jiang Yi walked out of the room briskly. Xuanyuan Lingyan was so ashamed that she wished a hole would appear in the ground and swallow her up. The last look that Jiang Yi gave her had hurt her. The look in his eyes as unmistakable: even if she wanted to sleep with him, he would not care.
One of the top beauties of Earth Emanations Domain was actually being despised by a man? This made Xuanyuan Lingyan feel both ashamed and furious. The good thing was that from experience with Jiang Yi, he was a man of his word. She heaved a sigh of relief. The sword revolving around her head had finally been put to rest.
Swis.h.!.+
Her body turned into a blur of white light as she flew out. At that moment, she did not want to remain there any longer. She never wanted to see Jiang Yi again for the rest of her life. However, in her heart, she knew that she would never be able to forget Jiang Yi. Jiang Yi was destined to be the nightmare that would haunt her for life.
…
Where Lord Cheng was, Commander Liu quickly sealed up a gift to return to him and then sent him off. Jiang Yi waited for him to return before he asked, “Old Liu, I have become the Great Minister of Public Works and a Pavilion Branch Lord. I’m also a Demon-Killing Battle G.o.d now. How many times can I enter the Primitive Mystic Realm for free?”
“Once!”
Commander Liu’s answer stunned Jiang Yi speechless. Confused, he asked, “Aren’t all Demon-Killing Battle G.o.ds allowed to enter once for free? Do the Great Minister of Public Works and Pavilion Branch Lords not enjoy such special privileges?”
“Pavilion Branch Lords do!”
Commander Liu smiled bitterly. “The Great Minister of Public Works does not. The Great Minister of Public Works already enjoys many other special privileges. What’s more, to become a Great Minister of Public Works, one must be a t.i.tled Battle G.o.d. Think about it: how easy would it be for martial artists of that rank to obtain battle merits? Pavilion Branch Lord should have one chance to go in for free, but no matter the role, you can only enter for free three times a year. Even Pavilion Lord Di can only enter for free three times a year. Lord, you already could enter at no charge twice a year. Now, your roles only add one more time!”
“Now I see!”
This realization dawned on Jiang Yi as he quieted down. He only had one more chance. He had to treasure it. Now, he finally understood how rare it was for him to get the opportunity to enter the Primitive Mystic Realm. The next moment, Commander Liu said something that excited Jiang Yi once again. “Lord, actually, everyone mentioned has three chances to enter a mystic realm for free each year. However, according to your rank, the type of mystic realm you get to enter differs as well. Given your current rank, you can use your final chance to enter… the Dao Heaven Mystic Realm!”
“Dao Heaven Mystic Realm!”
Jiang Yi had already experienced the mystery of the Primitive Mystic Realm twice before. The Dao Heaven Mystic Realm was supposedly one rank above the Primitive Mystic Realm. He wondered what other mysteries lay before him inside there. How rich must the heaven and earth spirit energy be inside? Were there Dao Heaven Spiritual Treasures inside, too?
Jiang Yi already had a taste of the prowess of his Heaven-Swallowing Beast. He imagined that if he got lucky inside the Dao Heaven Mystic Realm too and managed to obtain a Dao Heaven Spiritual Treasure, he would really be prosperous then. He averted his gaze and asked, “Old Liu, what mysteries lie in the Dao Heaven Mystic Realm?”
“My Lord…”
When Commander Liu saw Jiang Yi’s obsessive look, he touched his mustache speechlessly. “Lord, don’t waste this opportunity. It’s extremely rare. Go and train outside for some time and develop your soul spirit while you are at it. These Mystic Realms contained heaven and earth’s quintessence and origins. Ordinary G.o.d Kings would not be able to realize anything if they enter. You can acc.u.mulate your chances to enter the mystic realm. Don’t use it up now. Wait until you improve our own cultivation level and become a true Demon-Killing Battle G.o.d before you enter; it won’t be too late then!”
“En, that’s true!”
Jiang Yi nodded. He wanted to realize the fire-elemental laws in any case. His soul spirit could be improved at this time, too. He had not even refined that Pandan plant. It would not be too late for him to go in only after his skills had improved.
However… he ignored the latter part of Commander Liu’s persuasion. He wanted Jiang Yi to wait until he became a true Demon-Killing Battle G.o.d? He could not wait any longer. Yi Piaopiao was still being crushed under the Saint Spirit Mountain.
“I’ll get my things in order before I go and cultivate!”
Jiang Yi was becoming obsessed with the thought of entering the Dao Heaven Mystic Realm. The expression on his face changed as he said, “Old Liu, I’m making you my a.s.sistant Pavilion Lord. You’re to look after the big and small matters of Demon-Killing Pavilion. How’s that?”
“Me? I can’t…”
Commander Liu’s expression became bitter at once. Jiang Yi was becoming too used to acting as a jobless supervisor; he was throwing all his responsibilities at Commander Liu. He already had to take care of all the matters within the city, and it was taking up all of his bandwidth. If he still had to take care of Demon-Killing Pavilion’s matters, Jiang Yi might as well chop him into two pieces.
Commander Liu pondered for a moment and said, “Lord, why don’t you… allow Xiao Leng to take care of the city’s matters while I take care of Demon-Killing Pavilion?”
Between being the a.s.sistant City Lord and a.s.sistant Pavilion Lord—of course, Commander Liu preferred the latter. He was a disciple of Demon-Killing Pavilion after all. What’s more, from the looks of things, Jiang Yi would probably develop past the Earth Emanations Domain. This was the reason that Commander Liu wanted to supervise Demon-Killing Pavilion.
“Alright then!”
Jiang Yi waved his hand and said, “Call Xiao Leng over. That’s right… call He Wei and Gu Mu here while you’re at it!”
Commander Liu went out as fast as he could. Soon, he led the three men back in. Jiang Yi immediately gave instructions. “Old Xiao, help me to take care of Divine Eagle City. Gu Mu, you’re to a.s.sist Old Xiao. He Wei, you’re to be a commander in Demon-Killing Pavilion. a.s.sist Old Liu in taking care of the matters in the pavilion.”
Xiao Leng had no objections. He was resolved to follow Jiang Yi now. Xiao Hong had already reminded Xiao Leng to do this countless times before he left. He was willing to remain by Jiang Yi’s side as a bodyguard indefinitely, much less a supervisor of a city. Gu Mu naturally had no objections as well. He Wei, however, was astonished. He had become a commander? His father had been working so hard for so long, and yet even he had not been made a commander.
“Alright!”
He Wei initially wanted to follow his father’s footsteps. However, from the looks of it, Jiang Yi had a much brighter future ahead of him. He nodded profusely, without a hint of indignation in his heart. He was wholeheartedly behind Jiang Yi.
“En, that’s that, then!” Jiang Yi waved his hand and then remembered Stellarsky Domain. He instructed, “Old Liu, pay attention to Stellarsky Domain. See if the array around the domain has been completed.”
Once he finished leaving instructions, Jiang Yi wanted to go into seclusion. However, just before he left, he suddenly recalled something else. He turned to send a voice transmission to Xiao Leng: “Old Xiao, send a voice transmission to the Prefecture Lord and ask him why Poison Spirit hasn’t returned yet.”
Logically, to fetch someone back would take two or three days at the very most. He had already been secluded for five days, and yet there was still no news of Poison Spirit. Could something have happened to him?
