Chapter 1008: Estrangement

Translator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma Translations

‘Ulpian has already reached this level? To be able to channel in all of his physical body and will into a higher dimensional world...

‘It might be amazing, but it isn’t the path for me.”

Fang Xingjian continued to work on his sword arts in his mind. Today’s battle experience had given him more ideas and inspiration.

After cultivating for one night, Fang Xingjian left the Imperial Capital and headed north.

Once news of the battle in the Imperial Capital spread out, there probably would not be many people across the continent who would continue going against Fang Xingjian.

With Ulpian and the Immortality Saint holding back the Church, he believed that they would not have any more conflicts with him either.

Therefore, Fang Xingjian now had two goals. The first one was to settle the problem of his life span, while the other was to investigate the secret of the person who had given him his sword arts talent.

The two goals actually complemented each other. The man dressed in black was the one who gave him the world’s best sword arts talent back then. He took away his life span, resulting him in having only one more year to live.

Therefore, the key to resolve the problem about his life span was still with the black-clothed man. If it could not be resolved, then his second option would be to use the Western Land’s technique to facilitate for the conversion between life span and strength.

He used Spatial Translocation to arrive in the Scriptures Bureau and saw that the Immortality Saint was already waiting there.

Seeing Fang Xingjian, the Immortality Saint smiled and said, “I knew you would come.”

Fang Xingjian said, “Then you should also know what I want to ask.”

“Both the Oceansky Saint and Phenomenal Saint have both given in. One month later, I’ll be inheriting the Pope position,” the Immortality Saint said, filled with emotions.

“Alright.”

“Oh, right. The 21 sections of the White Emperor Zenith Sword are all with Ulpian. This guy has been acting very mysteriously, and I have no idea what he has been doing,” the Immortality Saint said with a smile. “Oh, by the way, you’ve also heard what the Plenary Foundation Septet said, right? The White Emperor Zenith Sword... 28 sections...”

Fang Xingjian said, “Don’t you have any records on your side?”

“That’s the strange thing.” Saying that, the Immortality Saint’s long robe glowed, and sections of information concerning the White Emperor Zenith Sword rose up. However, this long robe that was said to record all the information concerning the Church of Universal Truth did not have any records of the 28 sections.

“Either the Plenary Foundation Septet were spouting rubbish or...” The Immortality Saint frowned with a grim solemness in his expression. “Someone has changed the records.”

A person who could change the information concerning the White Emperor Zenith Sword would clearly not be an ordinary person. It was extremely likely that they could have been a member of the Church of Universal Truth’s upper echelon in the past and might even be one of the Popes.

“I got it. I’ll ask the Crown Princess about the White Emperor Zenith Sword’s 28 sections.” Fang Xingjian nodded and looked at the Immortality Saint. He tapped out a finger, and a stream of light and shadow entered the Immortality Saint’s mind. It was the image of a man in black robes. He was carrying a beautiful lady in his arms.

The woman lay quietly in the man’s arms, and even though her eyes were shut, her beauty was still unrivalled. However, what took the Immortality Saint by surprise was that the woman bore a huge resemblance to Fang Xingjian.

“This is...” A hint of perplexity flashed in the Immortality Saint’s eyes.

“You don’t know them either?” Fang Xingjian said disappointedly.

The Immortality Saint shook his head. “I’m sorry. I don’t have any impression of them in my memories.”

Fang Xingjian sighed and continued, “I want to look for these two people. They should have come to the northern part of the continent and might have been here in the past. They could even be from the Church.

“Since you’ve inherited the Pope position, I hope that you can find these two people for me.”

The Immortality Saint nodded. “Don’t worry, I’ll send people to search for them. As long as they’ve come to the north before, we’ll definitely be able to find them.”

Fang Xingjian nodded and then continued to discuss with the Immortality Saint about the cooperation between the Empire and the Church.

After all, the two strongest influences on this continent would be the Empire and the Church. As long as the two of them could work together, they would be able to manage the entire continent.

After confirming some details about their cooperation, Fang Xingjian left the Scriptures Bureau, leaving the Immortality Saint alone. The latter looked toward the sky with a faintly complicated expression flashing in his eyes.

‘Since the Oceansky Saint and the Phenomenal Saint have been brought down, the oath for our cooperation has already been completed.’

The Immortality Saint’s eyes narrowed slightly. He knew that here were no more restrictions between the two of them and that their current cooperation was merely some kind of custom and balance.

If one of them were to break the balance, then what would follow would be a world-shaking scuffle.

‘With Ulpian around, the situation shouldn’t end up in the worst state.’ However, at the thought of what Ulpian was going to do from now on, the Immortality Saint furrowed brows. ‘But we must still be prepared for the worst. Fang Xingjian...’

Recalling how Fang Xingjian had single-handed suppressed the six members of the Plenary Foundation Septet with one sword, a feeling of great wariness rose in the Immortal Saint’s heart.

‘Right now, Ulpian is probably the only one in the continent who is stronger than him. However, if he were to attain further breakthroughs...’

Right now, Ulpian no longer had the reinforcements from the ring’s energies, and the Immortality Saint had no confidence if Ulpian would be able to continue to suppress Fang Xingjian. At the thought of this, a hint of determination gleamed in the Immortality Saint’s gaze.

After Fang Xingjian left the Church, he randomly found a spot to land and felt with his heart, ‘After the cunning hare is gone, the hound is cooked. After the birds are gone, the great bow is stored away.

‘Now that the great enemy is gone, the two strongest influences left on this continent will be the Empire and the Church. The conflicting views between the two parties will erupt one day. It’s just not known when that day will be.’

Thinking of the possibility that he might have to oppose Ulpian, a hint of excitement flashed in Fang Xingjian’s eyes.

It was true that Ulpian was strong, but only experts like him would be able to stimulate Fang Xingjian’s fighting spirit.

‘Given my current strength, I won’t have to work together with outsiders to strive for tier seven of the Divine level.

‘It won’t be impossible for me to strive for tier eight of the Divine level either.’

Fang Xingjian took a look at the sealed Crown Prince and made up his mind to make the best use of his time and strive for tier seven and even tier eight of the Divine level, causing his strength to gain a qualitative leap. From tier seven of the Divine level onward, it would be a development toward controlling time. It would bring great benefits to his sword arts.

Moreover, by using the Church’s method of choosing the world to head to, he could gain more time to cultivate. He could also obtain information from the Crown Princess about the method of conversion between life span and strength, about the 28 sections of the White Emperor Zenith Sword, and many other secrets about the Divine Sun Emperor’s treasures.

These would be of great help toward letting him become stronger. Regardless of whether it was to search for the black-clothed man or to resolve the issue about his life span, he required great power to do it.
