She is Jianxiu

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the main room turned their gazes toward him.

The woman called Fang Xueyou straightened up slightly, raised her sleeve and rolled it forward, and the previously radiant and lustrous pearl appeared out of thin air in front of everyone, allowing the scholars in the hall to see clearly that beneath its smooth and delicate surface was a layer of five-colored radiance. Within this radiance, golden characters of varying sizes floated up and down. Even with the high level of skill of the scholars in the room, they could only catch a few indistinct characters, making it impossible to connect them into sentences or understand their true meaning.

But which of those sitting here is lacking in experience or ignorant? Even if they don't understand it for a while, after a little thought, they will know that this is a special method used to deal with Zhao Chun, or to avoid being noticed by others and prevent the chief priests from interfering and ruining Suo Tu Yi's plans.

"This is..."

The pearl floated erratically in the air. With a wave of his hand, Suotuyi suddenly dropped it into his palm, gathering all its brilliance inside. It then transformed into an ordinary jade bead, with nothing special about it from the outside.

Seeing this, Suo Tuyi narrowed his eyes, carefully examining the bead in his palm. Only when a thought surfaced in his mind, a joyful idea, did he suddenly raise his eyes and chuckle, "Fang Xueyou is truly wealthy and powerful, casually offering a piece of Heavenly River Sand. With this, Zhao Chun will have no chance to escape!"

Upon hearing this, Fang Xueyou's face also showed a faint smile. Then, he lowered his head in a seemingly humble manner and pursed his lips, saying, "Fellow Xueyou Suotu, you flatter me. How could someone like me possibly command such a treasure? This piece of Heavenly River Sand contains the 'Luo Tian Zi Zai Jing' (Scripture of the Freedom of the Heavens). If it weren't for my ancestor's personal instruction to retrieve this item for your convenience, with my cultivation level, I'm afraid I wouldn't even have been able to see its true form. Today, I've managed to get a glimpse of it thanks to Fellow Xueyou Suotu."

Upon receiving such respect, Suo Tuyi immediately relaxed, feeling a great weight lifted from his heart. This was not for any other reason than the "Luo Tian Zi Zai Jing" mentioned by Fang Xueyou.

It should be understood that while Heavenly River Sand is indeed rare, nothing in the Gushe Academy can be considered truly extinct. Having served under Mi Tian for many years, he couldn't possibly be completely ignorant of the origin and uses of Heavenly River Sand. The only difference is that the Heavenly River Sand in the hands of Grand Master Mi Tian is far superior to the Heavenly River Sand presented by Fang Qi today, in terms of quality, size, and the scriptures engraved inside.

So he had no choice but to have the scripture he needed printed in this piece of celestial sand. But once he had this in hand, all his previous concerns could be put aside.

“If it is the Luo Tian Zi Zai Jing from the Jiu Yi Stele, then the other side will truly have no chance of escaping.” Zhu Kangqu nodded with a smile, his guilty conscience completely gone, leaving only a confident and smug expression.

Someone in the room then exclaimed, "With this item protecting him, Brother Suotu will be invincible!"

"No matter how powerful Zhao Chun is, once she goes to the Great Luo Heaven, even the priests cannot save her."

After all, the fame of the Heavenly River Sand was already well-known, and its origins alone pointed directly to another great sage in the world.

The Great Sage of the White Moon occupies the Milky Way, and his descendants call themselves "Moon Wanderers." They are said to possess an immortal body; even if their souls are shattered and their bodies crushed, they can be restored to their original state overnight, without any damage. This undoubtedly makes scholars throughout the world envious, and thus they are a type of immortal spirit that is always mentioned in many myths and legends.

However, in the legends, there are also stories of extraordinary people who have gained immortality by slaying the moon. These beings are said to be immortal, and after death, their bodies sink into the Milky Way and turn into strange river sand, which has many indescribable wonders.

This is the origin of today's Heavenly River Sand. As for its wonders, it is more accurate to say that it is acquired through practice rather than being a gift from birth.

The sand of the Milky Way forms a secluded realm, inaccessible from the outside. When it first appeared in the world, it was almost indistinguishable from ordinary rocks. Later, a great sage enlightened him and attempted to carve the inscriptions of a sage into it, thus transforming the rotten into the magical and revealing the uses of the river sand.

Because it is a secluded region where the inside and outside are inaccessible, scholars can use the script to construct rules and deduce scriptures without any scruples. In this way, reading and comprehending the Tao will naturally be twice as effective. Even if errors occur during the deduction process, they will not be affected because of the secluded region.

Furthermore, those with profound spiritual attainments can inscribe selected passages of scriptures into the Milky Way sand. When needed, they can simply project the inscriptions to unleash extraordinary techniques and easily subdue their enemies.

Suo Tu Yi's confidence soared because of the renowned Luo Tian Zi Zai Jing, a miraculous scripture within the Jiu Yi Stele that imprisoned heaven and earth, isolating the inside from the outside. The so-called "freedom" referred to in the scripture was a wondrous realm of complete autonomy, unbound by external objects, time and space, cause and effect, and rules.

Therefore, if this scripture is engraved and printed by a great sage, it may even be able to dominate a region and attain absolute freedom within it. However, if it is engraved by a second-rank scholar, its effectiveness will undoubtedly be greatly reduced.

Suo Tu Yi was slightly distracted, thinking that the Heavenly River Sand in Mi Tian's hands might very well contain the work of a true sage, but such treasures were far beyond his current reach. The fact that the Fang family was willing to lend him one was already considered a great act of kindness by him.

Seeing that he remained silent, Fang Qi glanced at the curious expressions on everyone's faces and explained, "This item is hard to come by. It has been passed down for more than three generations. The inscription in the sand will only be visible for half a day at most. After half a day, the inscription will disappear, and it will be many years before it can be used again."

In other words, this item alone is not enough to trap Zhao Chun to death. Once the time limit is reached, it will be easy for the various chief priests to intervene.

Therefore, to kill Zhao Chun, we must seize this half-day opportunity. If she delays us any longer, we will never have such a good opportunity again.

Suo Tu Yi's heart tightened. He recalled their battle on the Benxing Platform that day. Facing an extraterrestrial being whose true nature he had not yet figured out, he felt a bit more hesitant.

He closed his eyes, becoming even more determined to use the relics of his ancestors, and said, "I know the good intentions of the Fang family elders. As the saying goes, a good opportunity is hard to come by, so it is not good to act rashly. When the time comes, I will personally inform you all."

Only after seeing the guests off did Suotuyi turn around and close the door. He then hurriedly wrote a letter home and sent it back to Mianzhou City that very night.

But unbeknownst to them, after the meeting ended, Zhu Kangqu and the others, who were heading towards the mansion, were suddenly caught in a thick fog and wind, and in a moment of disorientation, they couldn't even tell where they were.

A moment later, upon seeing the person before them clearly, everyone's expression changed drastically, their hair stood on end, and a deathly silence fell. (End of Chapter)
