The Fairy: From the Traveling Merchant

Chapter 1049 The truth?

"The Azure Sky Collection" records the life and experiences of the Azure Sky Fairy, the founder of the Wind Chant Pavilion and a being in the "Dongxuan" realm.

Perhaps something went wrong when this fairy was writing this book. The contents of the book contain extremely heavy spiritual pollution. Without special protective measures, only supernatural cultivators who have crossed the third heavenly ladder are qualified to read it.

Of course, Zhao Chen, who can even decipher the "Great Dao Characters," doesn't need to worry about the "reading threshold."

In fact, after receiving the book, he would take it out to read in his spare time, and had already read some chapters, which broadened his knowledge considerably.

However, we have only just seen the Azure Fairy traveling to countries along the coasts of the East and West, and we have not yet seen her excavating the ruins of the "Three Fairy Islands".

So this time, Zhao Chen flipped through the pages and found the part where she unexpectedly discovered that the Three Immortal Islands had an additional main peak full of spiritual energy, and then explored the ruins.

……

In a certain sea area outside the outermost edge of the East China Sea chain, which was not covered by the "Zhou Tian Xing Chen Da Zhen" (Great Array of Celestial Stars).

Two powerful divine senses clashed fiercely here, and the aftershocks were devastating. Any islands that were even slightly touched by the power were instantly torn to pieces, and even space itself was ripped apart, causing a large amount of seawater to flood into the void.

But beneath this surface where even the laws of heaven and earth cannot exist stably, the cores of the two divine thoughts are peacefully communicating.

"I've already deliberately created a gap in the defense line as you requested. Whether you can truly achieve your goal using the things you've cultivated with the help of the 'Dragon King' is none of my concern."

“From this point on, we are even.” One of the divine thoughts transmitted the message.

The other divine thought was slightly crazy and chaotic, but still rational. It smiled and said, "Third Brother, don't be so heartless. Those things are the result of our joint efforts. You still have to take care of them."

"After all, they concern our future, don't they?"

The divine sense that had been present earlier dismissed the matter: "They were just experimental subjects. They were only kept in the dark because of the 'Dragon King's' cover. Otherwise, they would have been eliminated by the 'Zhou Tian Xing Chen Tu' long ago."

“The ‘Star God’ is gone. How long can His legacy protect Xuan Tian? You and I both know the ‘truth.’ Apart from the ‘Promised Ship’ that the ‘Assembly of the Stars’ keeps talking about, if we want a future, we can only try to awaken ‘Him.’” the slightly crazed divine thought said excitedly.

The divine thought in front remained silent for a moment, then sighed, "I still won't interfere. Whether those things can work or not depends on fate. I've already done too many things against my conscience and principles. If I continue like this, there will be no future either."

It paused for a moment, then continued, "Moreover, you'd better not believe what you saw back then. When your cultivation reaches a higher level, those things may not be the truth."

"Ha, what are you saying? If I had the realm of Dao Lord Taixiao, would I still be so petty and despicable?"

"In fact, Daoist Taixiao must have seen through our little tricks, but he just couldn't be bothered to pay attention... You don't really think he can't interfere with Xuantian's affairs, do you?" The divine thought behind him sneered and continued, "But if you don't care, then don't care. Those things don't know what they are carrying, and they all have their own thoughts. Forcibly manipulating their fate is not a good thing."

"In short, the 'Taiji' Dao Lord is still in the mortal realm, and He will certainly not allow what we have done... Huh?" The divine thought in front suddenly let out a soft "Huh" halfway through its sentence.

"What's wrong?" the divine sense behind asked directly.

“Someone was just trying to trace back the primordial fire I left in those things… I couldn’t find the location, and the other party was very quick-witted and immediately stopped searching… Hmm, it should be in some blessed land, but the calculation didn’t yield any results.” The previous divine thought said intermittently.

"Ha, he said he wouldn't interfere on the surface, but he actually left a fire burning? Third Brother's actions are truly unpredictable!"

"Say what you will... I left the 'Dao Fire' with the intention of preventing them from causing a great disturbance." After giving a brief explanation, the owner of the divine sense seemed somewhat disinterested and stopped communicating, instead focusing on the "battle".

……

The secret realm where the "Chess of Yaochi" is attached.

While watching various versions of "Giant of Light" beat up the little monsters, Zhao Chen listened contentedly as "Yao Ji" read aloud from "The Azure Sky Collection".

Yes, after Zhao Chen found the passage about the Azure Sky Fairy excavating the ruins in the book, he didn't watch it himself despite the pollution. Instead, he handed it over to "Yao Ji," the human-machine interface, to "filter" it through.

Yao Ji did not refuse, not only because Zhao Chen was the owner of the treasure "Yaochi Chess" and could command her to a certain extent, but also because he had brought the "Western Liang Empress" last time, which made Yao Ji raise his rating.

"...At the very bottom of the ruins, the legacy of a high-level cultivator known as 'Hanzhi Immortal' was discovered, but unfortunately it was incomplete..."

After reading this, "Yao Ji" paused slightly, looked up at Zhao Chen lying on the bench, and continued,
"The normal content ends here. The subsequent text is written in a very chaotic way, as if the author has gone mad... but there are still a few keywords that are repeated many times."

"These are 'Azure Sky', the divine weapon 'Golden Dragon Scissors', and 'Qilin Cliff'..."

"It's fine if I relay it, but each of these words in the booklet is heavily polluted. A normal cultivator with supernatural powers would probably fall into confusion immediately upon seeing them."

Although the book continues to record other experiences of the Azure Sky Fairy, the writing style changes significantly from this point onward. It often becomes disjointed and incoherent, with things mentioned in the previous sentence often forgotten later.

It's terrifying to watch.

Zhao Chen knew this from his initial browsing, so he didn't let "Yao Ji" continue reading, but instead pondered:

"'Bixiao'? It seems this fairy is not dead after all!"

"And there's the 'Golden Dragon Scissors'... Most of these 'Dragon King's' descendants came for it."

"And I roughly guess what happened!"

Combining the tears of "Fairy Yunxiao" found in the treasure pavilion of Fengyin Pavilion, the special nature of Ling Pavilion Master's little apprentice Ren Lan, and the words repeatedly mentioned by Fairy Bikong in her madness, he boldly guessed that a certain mark of "Fairy Bikong" was left in this ruin, and would appear in the world as the fog of history was lifted.

It might even reside within the divine weapon, the "Golden Dragon Scissors."

It's possible that the Azure Sky Fairy was corrupted by "Azure Clouds" which caused her problems... Of course, it's more likely that she wasn't really insane, but that someone tampered with her notes to hide some secrets.

Moreover, the person who did this was of a very high level; even "Yao Ji" could not fully see through their true nature and could only obtain a few words from them.

The only one who could do this was probably Fairy Yunxiao, who secretly visited "Fengyin Pavilion" later!
She most likely had an epiphany about the concept of "reincarnation," and after she shed that tear, she made a beacon for "Bixiao's" "resurrection."

That is, "Ren Lan"...

After all, it's not normal for that little girl to be able to withstand "contamination" that would benefit Empress Danfei.
