Chapter 257: I Have a Good Medicine... (Please Subscribe)
Inside the small Sangyu room, the arrangement was orderly. Behind the screen at the entrance were two pots of osmanthus flowers. It was early spring, and the flowers were lush and blooming, exuding a faint fragrance.
Chen Yi stood before the osmanthus flowers, illuminated by bright lamps. His long, bright eyes reflected the figures of Emperor Wei, the Great Master, and the Nine Thousand Years within the study.
As for Prince Kong, he was directly ignored by him.
An monk who discovers problems but does not think of solving them, choosing to hide from everything in seclusion, should just enjoy his old age well.
Even if Prince Kong was the first abbot of Dakong Temple, he would become a Buddha upon returning to Dakong Temple, yet in Chen Yi's eyes, he still held no value.
Emperor Wei exchanged a glance with the Great Master and asked suspiciously, "Could you elaborate for us, dear minister?"
They had previously speculated that Chen Yi might have uncovered some things about the "Pure Heaven," but hearing him speak so decisively about the troops, they were somewhat surprised.
The Great Master was more direct than Emperor Wei, thoughtfully saying, "Is the Heroic Marquis suggesting that the 'Eagle' will make a comeback, and they are all great powers of the Divine Power Realm... do you know their strength?"
Nine Thousand Years was equally surprised but did not speak, just stared directly at Chen Yi, like Prince Kong, waiting for his explanation.
"I have some clues," Chen Yi no longer kept them in suspense. He did not know when Zhou Guanwu and the others' meeting would end, perhaps they would soon appear again in Kyoto Prefecture.
"Apart from Yang Huan, who is already dead, it can be confirmed that there are three others who have come to the Tianyuan Continent from the 'Pure Heaven'..."
"Wait, Pure Heaven?" Emperor Wei interrupted, "What is Pure Heaven? Are you referring to the 'Eagle'?"
Chen Yi glanced at him, speaking indifferently, "'Eagle' is just the divine skill they possess, a magic that can manipulate others' minds."
"Previously, those people mentioned by the Nine Thousand Years, and Wang Yang, whom I killed last night, were all manipulated by this divine skill to commit such evil acts."
"Moreover, 'Pure Heaven' is the name of their faction, they can also be called the 'Pure Land of Bliss.'"
"As far as I know, people of 'Pure Heaven' are classified into five levels, the leader self-titled 'General,' followed by four levels of Colonel and soldier."
"The number of people is unknown, cultivation is unknown, but it can be confirmed that they are not people of the Tianyuan Continent, mostly from Taizhou Mountain."
Chen Yi paused, seeing that Emperor Wei and the others only showed shock without intending to interrupt, he continued:
"First, let's talk about the others who came to the Tianyuan Continent. Aside from the three aforementioned, Yang Huan, that Lu Fang of the Yuhua Immortal Sect was the Divine Will Incarnation of the former Duke Jingye, Zhou Guanwu..."
Nine Thousand Years could no longer bear it, exclaiming in shock, "He really didn't die?"
Emperor Wei and the Great Master were equally shocked, gesturing him to keep quiet.
Chen Yi looked displeased, giving him a sidelong glance, "You were the one who told me Zhou Guanwu might not be dead without finding a single clue?"
Nine Thousand Years chuckled awkwardly, no longer speaking.
"Zhou Guanwu's cultivation has now reached the Divine Power Fifth Realm. The Divine Will Incarnation hidden in the Yuhua Immortal Sect likely harbors other plans, but I did not investigate deeply."
"That monk who came from the West Continent Buddha Country, named Earth Monk, is suspected of having the ability to travel underground; cultivation unknown."
"And the crimson phantom outside Beixiong Pass last night was my purpose for coming here today—he should be a renowned great power within 'Pure Heaven' possessing the divine power to charm the 'Heaven and Earth Bridge'!"
Chen Yi thought of that immense Divine Will phantom, visible even from thousands of miles away, saying with a tinge of dread in his eyes:
"I suspect he is a great power above the Divine Power Seventh Realm!"
At the same time, even Daoist Zhao Muzi of "Xunwang Heaven" feared this Seventh Realm's charming divine power, which speaks to its terrifying nature.
This was indeed evident from how Yang Huan was unaffected by the 'Heaven and Earth Bridge' last night.
As for Chen Yuan, who had already joined "Pure Heaven," Chen Yi didn't elaborate.
After all, with the elder brother's current cultivation, even taking action alongside the people of "Pure Heaven," he was still outpaced.
"Is this what you meant by 'having some clues,' Heroic Marquis?"
Nine Thousand Years glanced at Emperor Wei and Prince Kong, who sat at the table, seeing they were equally grave before he let out a slow sigh.
No wonder Chen Yi's previous words sounded derisive; the information he and previous emperors of Wei had gathered about the 'Eagles' was far less detailed than what Chen Yi had spoken.
Not only did he uncover the origins of the opponents, but he also clarified the identities of those who came to the Tianyuan Continent from "Pure Heaven," almost tracking down their locations.
Some clues?
He almost thoroughly mapped out "Pure Heaven"!
Emperor Wei instinctively nodded, giving Chen Yi a deep look:
"You are indeed remarkable, dear minister. With this information, we can make arrangements to counter in advance."
"It's still too early for a conclusion, Holy Emperor." The Great Master was not as optimistic, frowning, saying:
"As for that great power of the Divine Power Seventh Realm mentioned by the Heroic Marquis... we have not yet ruled out the possibility of him having a second or third divine skill."
"If his cultivation is deeper, even if we make preparations in advance, it might be hard to thwart his slaughter."
"Especially since he has the divine power to evade the suppression of the 'Heaven and Earth Bridge,' allowing others from 'Pure Heaven' to act without restrictions."
The Great Master paused, his tone graver: "I only fear that he has allied with the Demon Court, if that is the situation, I fear..."
Hearing this, Emperor Wei also lost his previous ease, frowning, "So, should we also consider the situation on the Demon Court's side?"
Nine Thousand Years nodded in agreement, "If it is indeed as the Great Master said, it would be difficult for us to resist 'Pure Heaven's' scheme."
