“When did you discover this place, Xiao Jie?” Bi Zhu asked while she walked along an illuminated pa.s.sage.

As Chu Jie walked ahead, a pure white bird flew beside her. The temperature around them dropped. A dim light was cast into the distance.

“When I was flying on my sword, I pa.s.sed by and saw flames here. I sensed a powerful force and tried to intervene. I realized that I could stabilize the force, so I flew down. I didn’t know it would take a while,” said Chu Jie.

“Isn’t it a waste of time?” Bi Zhu asked.

She wondered if Chu Jie’s powers could be used for something more important.

“Waste of time?” Chu Jie smiled. “I never had a purpose to begin with, but now I do. So, how could this be a waste of time if it’s helping someone?”

Bi Zhu nodded and didn’t say much.

After that, they arrived at a huge cave.

The flames rolled, and beneath them, a powerful force stirred.

Above the flames, there was a clear force that absorbed everything.

Chu Jie walked to the center of the flames and sat cross-legged on the ground.

She absorbed the raging force.

As time pa.s.sed, a gentle force emanated from her. It gathered above.

The Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment slowly absorbed the violent force.

Finally, it hovered above.

Bi Zhu looked surprised.

This process was not easy, and Chu Jie absorbed the force, neutralized, and condensed it.

Bi Zhu felt that it was a waste of her talent.

As the sun was about to set, the violent aura diminished significantly.

Although it was still surging, it wouldn’t harm anything.

Chu Jie stood up and walked out of the magma. Bi Zhu couldn’t help but ask,

“Aren’t you going to take that force for yourself?”

Chu Jie looked up and shook her head with a smile. “No need.”

“Why?” Qiao Yi asked.

“Because it’s useless to me. Absorbing it would be a waste. It’s better to leave it for those who need it.” Chu Jie replied.

‘Useless?’ Qiao Yi found it hard to believe. Absorbing this pure force would significantly enhance one’s cultivation realm. How could it be useless?

She didn’t know how to respond.

“But if you leave it here… what if someone evil comes here and absorbs such power? Wouldn’t that be a waste?” Bi Zhu asked.

Chu Jie thought for a moment and said, “Let’s say there are a hundred people in the village. Let’s say that fifty people are good while the other fifty are evil. If there was some danger, would you choose to save only the good ones?”

Bi Zhu frowned.

Chu Jie smiled. “Good and evil are just that. If you only see evil, you’ll decide to leave them to die without a thought. If you feel that the people are good, you will save them without a thought. At the end of the day, it’s a choice. There are consequences to everything we do.”

Bi Zhu was stunned. Qiao Yi felt taken aback.

“It’s almost time. The uncles will be waiting for us. Let’s go,” said Chu Jie.

Jiang Hao sensed it. There was a presence here.

He looked up at the sky. The Mountain Sea Seal had faded away.

A bright white light shone down, and four pieces of jade appeared on it.

Jiang Hao reached out to grab them.

The three people who had just arrived also saw the four jade pieces.

They felt a strong ancient aura. It was extraordinary.

“What is this?” Jing Dajiang was astonished.

“The aura of the ancient pages. Grab them!” The bearded old man said immediately.

The three people took action.

Jiang Hao was startled.

The terrifying aura seemed to want to crush him.

The three people each grabbed a piece.

Jiang Hao dared not think too much and reached for the last piece.

Soon, the jade pendant was bound by his power and began to fall.

However, the other three, although bound, suddenly flickered.

The three jade pieces broke free from the restraint and rushed into the sky.

This sudden change surprised Jiang Hao.

Those three people were not ordinary. Why couldn’t they catch the pieces?

“The Jade Pendants of Fortune… four of them! D*mn it! Why so many?” Jing Dajiang complained.

“One piece is missing,” The bearded old man said.

The three were surprised.

They looked above the Thousand Spirits River.

What they saw surprised them.

The person there had a plain face and an ordinary appearance, but light shone around him.

The earth glittered brightly where he stood.

The surroundings seemed vibrant somehow. His every move could make or break the West.

All things centered around him.

For a moment, they felt that this extraordinary person was from the ancient land. It was awe-inspiring.

In an instant, the feeling vanished.

What they saw was a restrained divine light and a powerful being with a calm aura that could soothe all things.

“This child must be from our Astronomical Academy!” Jing Dajiang exclaimed.

What they had felt couldn’t be wrong. This person had extraordinary talent.

“There’s something off about him. It’s a pity the chef disappeared. Otherwise, we could have caught her and questioned her. She looked at him quite closely that time,” the beardless old man said in regret.

“He is holding the Jade Pendant of Fortune. He’s definitely not an ordinary person. Let’s go and greet him,” Jing Dajiang said.

Then, the three instantly disappeared and arrived above the Thousand Springs River.

He Du was astonished but was frightened by the arrival of Jing Dajiang and others.

He was honored to see such powerful elders here, but why had they come here?

“Are you from the Astronomical Academy, Fellow Disciple?” Jing Dajiang shouted.

The people below were surprised. So, this person was from the Astronomical

Academy…

It was no wonder he could casually kill Granny Kufa.

Jiang Hao stood still in place.

When he saw Jing Dajiang and the others, he was stunned.

That vast aura left him in shock. ‘What level of power is this? Why does he think I’m from the Astronomical Academy?

“Senior, who are you?” Jiang Hao clenched his fist. He didn’t want to reveal his ident.i.ty.

“I am Jing Dajiang. You don’t need to call me ‘Senior.’ You can call me Dajiang,” said Jing Dajiang. “May I ask who you are?”

“I’m… Gu,” said Jiang Hao.

‘Jing Dajiang…’ Jiang Hao realized he was a big shot from the academy. ‘Why is such a person outside the academy right now?’

But it seemed Jing Dajiang couldn’t see through him like Liu Ying had done.

It seemed the chef of the noodle shop was indeed extraordinary. Even such a powerful person didn’t immediately know he was Gu Jin.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

This was good.

“Gu?” For a moment, the three were somewhat surprised.

They thought about the convergence of the ancient and the modern world.

Jing Dajiang tried to see through the person in front of him but couldn’t. He was unable to see who this person was. He decided to find out more. In any case, he would try to take him to the Astronomical Academy first..
