Chapter 1110: Emperor Yanfeng and the National Teacher (Fourth Update!)
Bai Yuqiong left the Qionghua Heavenly Palace, her form flickering like a ghost as she vanished. Yet another Bai Yuqiong remained in the Qionghua Heavenly Palace, handling government affairs with proper decorum.
Her cultivation technique was extremely peculiar. The Bai Yuqiong left behind in the Qionghua Heavenly Palace was also a Throne-level powerhouse, her every action and word indistinguishable from the original!
Those who could cultivate to the Throne realm and ascend to the seat of Heavenly Teacher were not undeserving of their reputation.
Bai Yuqiong was no exception. Her countless clashes with the Black Emperor, the Netherworld Emperor, had made her incredibly cunning. After dying and being reborn time and again, she learned from her pain and devised various methods to preserve her life, even later plotting against the Netherworld Emperor.
Even the Netherworld Emperor, who was always scheming against others, had nearly died at her hands several times.
It was precisely because of this that the Heavenly Court valued her skills and abilities, appointing her as the Heavenly Teacher in charge of the Western Falling Sect.
Before long, Bai Yuqiong had discovered the whereabouts of Qin Mu and Dragon Qilin, her expression turning strange. "Pastoral Celestial Venerable? That young man who showed me his treasure is Pastoral Celestial Venerable? He doesn't look like him. When he came to the Heavenly Court, I saw him from afar... Ah, yes. I heard that Pastoral Celestial Venerable, by a stroke of luck, could travel through time back to the past and made a name for himself in the early Dragon Han era. That is to say, his appearance in ancient times is different from his current appearance..."
She couldn't help but wonder, "In ancient times, why did Pastoral Celestial Venerable give me that jade pendant? Why did he protect me from the Netherworld Emperor's schemes? And why did he trick me into giving him the feather from Moon Celestial Venerable?"
Unable to figure it out, she simply walked toward the Spiritual Energy Transfer Bridge of the Western Falling Sect.
"Pastoral Celestial Venerable is going to the Yun Luo Heavenly Palace, right? Yun Luo Heavenly Palace belongs to Yun Luo Emperor Wei Suifeng. I heard that Wei Suifeng is Pastoral Celestial Venerable's senior brother."
Bai Yuqiong furrowed her delicate brows, feeling a bit uneasy. "Xiao Celestial Venerable discovered that Wei Suifeng was a disciple of the remnants of the Kai Emperor and ordered me to set a trap, capturing him together with the Green Emperor. That guy is a ruthless character. It was only when I joined forces with the Green Emperor in the Yun Luo Heavenly Palace that we managed to ambush and take him down. Is Pastoral Celestial Venerable luring me to the Yun Luo Heavenly Palace to avenge his senior brother?"
She examined the Vermilion Bird feather, hesitating.
The Vermilion Bird feather emitted clusters of Vermilion Bird Sacred Flame.
This sacred flame could burn everything, incredibly powerful. It was second only to the Heavenly Fire Dao Fire, but its danger level surpassed even Heavenly Fire.
Heavenly Fire was a microscopic crystal fire, usually very safe as long as it wasn't triggered. But Vermilion Bird Sacred Flame was extremely violent, constantly radiating a power that could destroy heaven and earth.
Yet, the Vermilion Bird Sacred Flame hadn't harmed her at all.
Bai Yuqiong was also puzzled.
Although her cultivation was extremely high, she had no expertise in fire-based techniques. Her specialties lay in the Dao of Space, as well as Daoist numerology and Buddhist Dharma.
In one of her past lives, in order to avoid death, she had joined the Daoist sect and become a Daoist nun under the Dao Ancestor. In another life, she had taken refuge under the Great Brahma Heavenly King Buddha and become a Bodhisattva.
Even though she wasn't skilled in fire-based techniques, the Vermilion Bird Sacred Flame was very close to her, which piqued her curiosity.
The Vermilion Bird feather had been given to her by Moon Celestial Venerable, who said it was related to her origins. However, Bai Yuqiong could already recall memories from one hundred and ninety-seven lifetimes. In the memories before her ninety-ninth life, Moon Celestial Venerable had given her the Vermilion Bird feather every time, saying the same thing.
Her memories could even be traced back to ancient times. Bai Yuqiong no longer wanted to delve deeper.
Still, she held onto a trace of curiosity.
Just as she hesitated about whether to enter the Spiritual Energy Transfer Bridge, the Bai Yuqiong in the Qionghua Heavenly Palace had already ordered the Western Falling Sect's army to march toward the Great Void.
In the Western Falling Sect's camp, countless gods and demons surrounded the Western Emperor's Divine Artifact. It was an artifact built according to the physical form of the Western Emperor, the White Tiger. Its body was massive, possessing boundless combat power!
Among the myriad gods and demons, a middle-aged monk and a middle-aged Daoist were quite conspicuous as they passed by the Spiritual Energy Transfer Bridge.
Bai Yuqiong called out to them, saying, "White Feather Daoist, Lingyue Monk, come here. I have something I'd like to seek your advice on."
The White Feather Daoist and Lingyue Monk stepped forward, bowing. "What matter does the Heavenly Teacher have?"
These two were disciples of the Daoist sect and the Buddhist sect who had come to join Bai Yuqiong. Seeing that they were of low status but possessed extraordinary wisdom and courage, often offering her advice, Bai Yuqiong valued them greatly as rare talents.
Bai Yuqiong's wisdom came from surviving a hundred lifetimes of life-and-death trials, while these two were born with great intelligence. Therefore, Bai Yuqiong often consulted them when faced with difficult matters.
This time, escorting the divine artifact to the Great Void was also entrusted to them.
Bai Yuqiong explained her concerns. White Feather Daoist and Lingyue Monk exchanged glances. Lingyue Monk smiled and said, "Is the Heavenly Teacher worried about getting too close to Pastoral Celestial Venerable and giving the Celestial Venerables a handle against you? Or are you worried that Pastoral Celestial Venerable might set a trap for you to avenge the Yun Luo Emperor?"
Bai Yuqiong said, "Both."
Lingyue Monk laughed. "If Pastoral Celestial Venerable wanted to harm the Heavenly Teacher, why would he have waited until the Dragon Han era to do so? He could have simply not saved you, and the Heavenly Teacher would have died at the hands of the Netherworld Emperor, never to be reborn. Why go through all this trouble?"
Bai Yuqiong immediately understood his meaning, and her heart settled. She smiled and said, "I'll go find him. I'll leave the matter of escorting the divine artifact to the Great Void to you two. Your intelligence and talent are no less than mine. On the road, you must support each other and be extra cautious. The rebel Kai Emperor Qin Ye has many capable and extraordinary people under his command. He also has four Heavenly Teachers."
She paused, then said, "The Fisherman Heavenly Teacher and the Martial Combat Heavenly Teacher are nothing to worry about. Only the Woodcutter Heavenly Teacher and the Scholar Heavenly Teacher require extra caution. Especially the Woodcutter—that guy is wicked. I've clashed with him several times and never gained the upper hand. And there's that Scholar Heavenly Teacher, named Zixi. Although he's a scholar, his courage and intelligence are extremely high, making him very dangerous!"
White Feather Daoist and Lingyue Monk nodded repeatedly.
Bai Yuqiong hesitated for a moment, then took out a jade pendant and a scented handkerchief. "Zixi is formidable. If you can't handle him, take out these two items."
Her face flushed slightly with shyness. "The jade pendant was given to me by him, and the scented handkerchief was embroidered by me. I've always planned to give it to him... Show these to him, and he will likely let you go! Go, go!"
White Feather Daoist and Lingyue Monk rarely saw this Heavenly Teacher act like a young girl, and they exchanged bewildered looks.
Bai Yuqiong shooed them away and hurriedly stepped onto the Spiritual Energy Transfer Bridge, heading for the Yun Luo Heavenly Palace.
White Feather Daoist and Lingyue Monk led the Western Falling Sect's army out of the Heavenly Court. The Western Falling Sect didn't have great ships or giant vessels; instead, they rode chariots, which were slightly faster than ships. However, because they had to escort the Western Emperor's Divine Artifact, they slowed their pace.
"Bai Heavenly Teacher seems to have a bit of a crush on Zixi Heavenly Teacher."
Lingyue Monk whispered, "Has she never realized that Zixi Heavenly Teacher is a woman?"
White Feather Daoist said, "It seems she hasn't noticed. Instead, she seems quite deeply infatuated. But come to think of it, the Martial Combat Heavenly Teacher, Zhuo Cha, didn't notice either."
Lingyue Monk chuckled. "The Martial Combat Heavenly Teacher isn't even as sharp as Niu Sanduo. It would be strange if he noticed. But Bai Yuqiong is so shrewd, yet she's also fallen for Zixi Heavenly Teacher. These two women..."
White Feather Daoist glanced at him and coughed. "Your Majesty, you're a monk now. Mind your image."
Lingyue Monk quickly straightened up, his expression solemn and dignified, like an enlightened monk. "Bai Gui, what are your plans for this trip? Are we really going to escort the Western Emperor's Divine Artifact into the Great Void?"
White Feather Daoist smiled faintly. "The White Tiger commands the military, governs slaughter, and is the ancient god of the killing path. The Ten Celestial Venerables have the Imperial Celestial Venerable's Divine Artifact, and we hold the Four Imperial Divine Artifacts. Perhaps we can get a look at the combat strength of the Heavenly Court's experts."
His gaze was deep, and he said softly, "The Great Void is destined to flow with rivers of blood."
