Chapter 379: Starfall Island

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

After the experts from the Heaven Mystics Kingdom had gone back, Qian Wanguan and Zhan Wushuang had also returned to the Divine Martial Kingdom. Once again, Summer Rain City had their peace reinstated. Su Ruoxue would be busy with the kingdom’s politics while Jiang Yi would station himself nearby the Divine Vein to cultivate. During the nighttime, he would return to accompany Xiaonu before going to sleep with Su Ruoxue in his embrace.

The days were dull yet in happiness. If only such comfortable days could continue on, Jiang Yi might wake up with a laugh. Unfortunately, reality was very cruel. Occasionally, there would be citizens dying from hunger in the Great Xia Kingdom. From time to time, there would be news of bandits attacking the towns. That desolated street in Summer Rain City served as a reminder to Su Ruoxue and Jiang Yi that they still had a long way to go if they wished to live their lives in peace. They would need to sacrifice a lot of sweat and hard work for that to happen.

Half a month later…

Jiang Yi had no choice but to bid farewell to his beloved. He brought Jiang Xiaonu and He Lao to the Mt. Spirit Beast. Zhan Wushuang had intentionally left He Lao behind because He Lao knew too much about Jiang Yi’s secrets. Although Jiang Yi wasn’t bothered by it and have full faith in He Lao keeping his secrets for him, Zhan Wushuang still chose to make He Lao follow Jiang Yi stubbornly. Furthermore, He Lao was willing to follow Jiang Yi. At least, following Jiang Yi was a lot more awe-inspiring and pleasing compared to the Zhan Clan.

The trio departed using the Zouwu Beast. The distance between Mt. Spirit Beast to Summer Rain City was not very big. With the speed of the Zouwu Beast, they would be able to reach it within two days, but they had to worry about Jiang Xiaonu safety.

After entering the Mt. Spirit Beast and meeting Jiang Yunhai, they headed over to at where Zhuge Qingyun was.

Zhuge Qingyun didn’t speak much or stressed to Jiang Yi that he had to inherit the Mt. Spirit Beast College principal position. They only mingled casually for a while and informed Jiang Yi to return more often if he had the time.

Zhuge Qingyun had no idea how to excavate the Divine Vein. Thus, he got Vice Principal Qi to search for information regarding this. Unfortunately, there were no records of such. However, similarly to what Witch God had told Jiang Yi, Zhuge Qingyun warned Jiang Yi that if there was a possibility, it was better for him not to refine the celestial stones.

It was just that…

Regardless whether it was him or Jiang Yi, both knew that such a possibility was extremely low. Once the three-year promise was due, a lot of people would try to kill Jiang Yi if they ever had the chance. Therefore, as long as there was a large amount of celestial stone, Jiang Yi would certainly choose to increase his strength first as he did not have much of a choice.

After bidding farewell to Zhuge Qingyun and Jiang Yunhai, the trio set out for their journey again. This time, their destination was Fairy Peak. Jiang Yunhai resided in the Mt. Spirit Beast College very comfortably. When Jiang Yi asked if Jiang Yunhai wished to head over to the Summer Rain City to stay, Jiang Yunhai actually rejected him. Jiang Yi knew that this affable grandpa was afraid of burdening him. At least while he was residing in the college, no one would dare to use him to threaten Jiang Yi.

Since Jiang Xiaonu had been to Fairy Peak before and with He Lao’s experiences and knowledge—once they had entered Mt. Thirty Thousand, the blood red demon king had surprisingly come to welcome them. The trio stood on the blood red demon king’s shoulder in order to hasten their journey. Although He Lao was somewhat terrified, he still managed to barely maintain his composure.

Three days later, they arrived at Fairy Peak.

When Jiang Yi saw the Demon Empress and little fox standing outside the Thearch Palace to welcome him, he smiled. That smile of his was simply glittering. The Demon Empress was known to be extremely haughty. She had made an exception this time to come out just to welcome him. This showed that his strength had reached a point that gained the Demon Empress’ approval.

“Xiao Fei, bring them along to have fun. Jiang Yi, follow me.”

The Demon Empress glanced at Jiang Yi indifferently before walking directly into the Thearch Palace. Xiao Fei pounced into Jiang Yi’s embrace affectionately as she ‘Ji-Ji’ unceasingly with her face filled with joy.

Jiang Yi rubbed the little fox’s head before whispering a few words to it and tossed it over to Jiang Xiaonu. After notifying He Lao, he went into the Thearch Palace, heading up to the rooftop.

“Jiang Yi, you really didn’t disappoint me!”

The Demon Empress sat down in the pavilion that was on the rooftop. Her pink long skirt caused her perfect figure to be incomparably gorgeous. This was a peerless beauty, and despite it being assimilated from the demonic beast—Jiang Yi had to admit that if the Demon Empress wished to, she would be able to cause all the men to serve under her.

“It’s all thanks to you!” Jiang Yi giggled in reply. After interacting with the Demon Empress, sentiments developed between them. He had already started to treat her as amiable as an elder from his family.

“It’s your capability that made you able to gain the Witch God acknowledgment. It’s totally unrelated to me.”

The Demon Empress swept her gaze at Jiang Yi before moving onto the main topic, “Jiang Yi, do you know that you are giving a huge amount of pressure to that group of people? Although you had sealed off the news, a lot of people still managed to guess what happened. People like me! Therefore… according to my speculations, that group of people might make a move. Of course, they would never do it openly. Therefore, you have to be careful.”

“En, I will take note of it!”

Jiang Yi nodded. He paused for a moment before inquiring on a problem he was desperately trying to get an answer, “Demon Empress, do you know how to excavate Divine Veins?”

“Divine Veins?”

Demon Empress frowned. Her beautiful eyes flickered for a moment before coming to a standstill. “There’s Divine Vein in the Great Xia Kingdom? You wish to use the celestial stones to cultivate to reach the Vajra Realm as quickly as possible?”

“Yes!” Jiang Yi replied honestly.

“No way!”

The Demon Empress stood up in fury and rebuked, “Formerly, I wanted to stop you when you were refining those few celestial stones. One’s foundation is very important on the path of the martial dao. Refining a few celestial stones wouldn’t pose much of a problem, but if you wish to continue relying on the celestial stone to promote your essence force, a big problem would definitely arise! If your body isn’t nurtured by the essence force for a long period of time, it would not be able to circulate such a formidable essence force. This could be compared to a cask.

“Originally, it would only be able to store so much debris. However, if you were to forcefully store ten times of what it could handle—even if this cask wouldn’t break, it would still explode at any point of time because it had become too heavy and overloaded. Jiang Yi, if you wish to progress even further, you have to solidify your foundations. You cannot refine the celestial stones anymore.”

“Sigh…”

Jiang Yi sighed faintly before replying, “I know of those principles you had just said. It’s just that if I do not refine those celestial stones and just rely on my hard work, do you think that I would be able to cultivate my essence force sufficiently to transform my third star sphere? Three years later, you all wouldn’t be able to make a move. If my strength had yet to reach the Vajra Realm by then, I would have to die even if I had a peak-grade demon king…”

“You can always seclude and cultivate!”

The Demon Empress commented coldly, “Give up on the Great Xia Kingdom and bring Su Ruoxue and Xiao Fei along with you. You can just search for an unmanned isle and seclude yourself for eight to ten years. Wait till your strength had reached a certain point before making your comeback. Don’t you human always say ‘A gentleman’s revenge is never too late even after ten years’?”

“It’s impossible to leave…”

Jiang Yi smiled bitterly. It was impossible for Su Ruoxue to give up on the Great Xia Kingdom. He had promised the Witch God that he would protect the Yun Clan, and there was also Mt. Spirit Beast College. There were just too many bindings and responsibilities. How could he possibly walk away from them?

“Are you sure you want to use the celestial stones to cultivate?”

When she saw how resolute Jiang Yi was, the coldness in the Demon Empress grew even more unsightly. She waited for Jiang Yi to nod his head before walking off while flinging her sleeves. She arrived at the doorway in the rooftop before speaking in a cold voice, “I’m not going to stop you if you wish to destroy yourself. I do have a method to excavate the Divine Veins. However, I’m never going to tell you. You can ask someone else.”

“Uh…”

Jiang Yi looked at the leaving Demon Empress as he rubbed his nose embarrassedly. However, the decision of refining the celestial stone didn’t change! Even if he had to destroy his future, he could only be resigned to it as he had to possess the capability to withstand against a group of Vajra Realm martial experts before the arrival of the three-year promise.

Now that the discussion between him and the Demon Empress had come to ruin, the only hope Jiang Yi had left was Shui Youlan. As the no.1 one human expert known, she should know a lot of things, right?

After staying in the Fairy Peak for a day, Jiang Yi decided to continue with his journey. Starfall Island was located in the northeast of the continent. If he wishes to get to the Starfall Island from Mt. Thirty Thousand, there were two ways for Jiang Yi to pick. First, he would have to ride the Zouwu beast to travel under the Divine Martial Kingdom before traveling to the east side of Northern Liang Kingdom and then think of a way to head out to sea. The other was to search for a sea demon that could swim and travel through the sea.

Ultimately, Jiang Yi picked neither of it. He chose to travel through the air. The Yazi Beast strength was extremely tyrannical and was able to travel through the sky. The speed wasn’t slow at all.

However, when Jiang Yi told it that he wanted to use it to travel, the Yazi Beast rejected it firmly. It felt that Jiang Yi was dishonoring it. After Jiang Yi flipped out, the Yazi Beast had no choice but to give in. Of course… it was only willing to carry Jiang Yi alone.

Jiang Yi did not see any problem with this as he placed Jiang Xiaonu and He Lao into the Green Clear Vase. He stood tall on the back of the Yazi Beast and shouted out, “Let’s go! Travel across the sea and head directly to the Starfall Island!”
