Destiny is ashes

Chapter 411 Confession (13)

An Jing came out of the state of enlightenment.

This enlightenment was extremely rewarding. Not only did An Jing comprehend the true meaning of [Demonic Spirit Law] and [Martial Arts], he also comprehended his fourth magical power [Chengtian De], as well as the additional magical power [True Spirit Blood] after the perfection of the fifth magical power.

Next, he can first cultivate "clear mirror mind" and "Heavenly Virtue".

The former is not difficult. An Jing has already gained experience and his own insights through the possession of my body in Ming Guangchen's mirror.

The latter requires a perfect opportunity, but this opportunity does not require waiting. Instead, you need to open up your spinal meridians more often in your daily life, activate the nerves and meridians throughout your body, and perfectly master the changes in your essence, energy, and spirit.

This step complements the Nine Qi Refining Prohibitions of Taibai Haoling Divine Prohibitions. An Jing feels that if he can achieve something in the Taibai Haoling Divine Prohibitions, this fourth divine power will be easier to cultivate.

Moreover, An Jing also understood where he should look for his fifth supernatural power: You Ruhui's true dragon spine and dragon energy, supplemented by a cultivation method similar to the "Demon Pill", will be the key to the perfection of his five supernatural powers.

"We already have six magical powers, so will there be seven magical powers?"

An Jing thought in his heart: "Perfect the Four Symbols and Five Elements, return to the innate, and achieve true spirit and blood - after that, it is [Taoism becomes flesh]... This may be the seventh miracle."

An Jing didn't think much about it. Anyway, as long as he cultivated to that point, he would definitely understand everything.

Full of confidence, he said goodbye to Huo Qing and Tie Shou, and returned to Huaixu with Xiao Cang.

“…spontaneous enlightenment.”

After An Jing left, in the recycling hut, Tie Shou smoked a cigarette and sat on the sofa where Xiao Cang had chewed out springs, lost in thought: "This kind of talent, this kind of aptitude, and this kind of temperament and strength... Even those top-level disciples of aristocratic families, the true teachings of the Cave Heaven are just like this."

"But which force is it? Could it be a local sect? Damn it, is it a sect that picked up the remains of the ancient Dao Sect? Could it be that it is really as I imagined a few days ago..."

Tie Shou fell silent. He was still thinking about An Jing's origins. Huo Qing brought a cup of tea and placed it on the armrest beside him. "Why bother, uncle? If An Jing's origins are great, we will never know them. If An Jing's origins are ordinary, then we won't know what they are. "

"You are optimistic." Tie Shou raised his head and glared at Huo Qing with his one eye. He picked up the tea and said unhappily, "The bigger the background, the bigger the trouble. If we are involved, we will be crushed to pieces if we are not careful..."

——I’m not afraid of being torn to pieces, but I’m afraid of being unworthy of my brothers’ sacrifice and failing to complete the mission.

Huo Qing didn't know what Tie Shou was thinking, but he was very open-minded: "I've already died once, so what if I die again? At least by following him, I'm living a life I never imagined before."

"The stronger he is, the more talented he is, and the bigger his background is, isn't that a good thing? Working for a company is working, and working for a big force in the wilderness is also working, isn't it?"

Tie Shou couldn't refute this because he was a member of the Guiyi Army, a powerful force in the wilderness.

Thinking of this, Tie Shou sighed again and looked towards the location of Chonggang Town in the distance: "To be honest, I don't think I should hide it from you now."

He raised his hand and patted the sofa beside him, motioning Huo Qing to sit down. After the young man sat down, he said in a very calm tone: "Xiao Qing, I know you have always wondered how your parents died. You are actually very smart. You know that even if ordinary companies fight each other and hire spies to assassinate, it is impossible for them to kill new employees like your parents."

"Even if it was an accident, your parents are also Qi-refining cultivators and have protective talismans. How could they die so easily?"

Huo Qing just sat down, and subconsciously wanted to stand up again. It was indeed as Tie Shou said, he had always doubted the authenticity of this statement, but Huo Qing also knew that with his own strength, financial resources and channels, it was absolutely impossible for him to know the truth.

If Tie Shou and the others wanted to hide the truth from him, it was only for his own good. Huo Qing was not the kind of person who would yell "I have the right to know the truth" and throw a tantrum.

He will remember and remain silent.

But now...Iron Hand is actually going to tell him the truth? !

Just when Huo Qing didn't know whether to be surprised or delighted, Tie Shou's next words made everything turn into shock: "Your parents and I are both members of the Guiyi Army."

"My parents... are members of the Guiyi Army?!" The moment Huo Qing heard this, he felt a chill running down his spine, neck and head. He was stunned and asked, "They, and you, uncle, are spies?"

For the people of Xuanye City, and even the Tianyuan Realm, knowing that they have such a close relationship with the Guiyi Army is definitely not something that can be easily taken lightly - especially since Huo Qing's life has become more and more stable and peaceful recently, and he has more and more hope, and his own strength has also been rising steadily.

This is equivalent to happiness for the locals of Xuanye City. But if he is related to the Guiyi Army, all these happiness will be castles on the beach. As long as Tie Shou and his people are discovered, he will be directly wiped out by the company's guards, just like the black market in Xuanye City, turning into a corpse that no one remembers.

If he were an ordinary person, he would definitely subconsciously hate Tieshou, and even his parents.

——They clearly gave me nothing, clearly died early and abandoned me, clearly brought me into this world only to suffer, but now they are dragging me back into the abyss when I am gradually moving towards peace...

Even though this hatred will soon disappear due to morality, this feeling of falling into the abyss is definitely not false.

But Huo Qing is not an ordinary person.

"I didn't show any flaws."

Faced with such shocking news, he calmed down immediately.

Just like a formation master who discovered that his formation had conflicts and contradictions, the first thing he thought of was not to blame himself when setting up the formation, but to recall whether he was exposed or had any flaws. Huo Qing pondered and said, "My performance is very ordinary. Although my subsequent identity in Xuanye City cannot withstand investigation, the most they can find out is that I am from the Day Tiger Gang."

"The main problem lies with you, Uncle Tieshou. Have you noticed anything wrong?"

"……Do not."

Looking at Huo Qing now, Tie Shou couldn't help but feel a little dazed. He vaguely saw the shadow of his former brother in the young man who was gradually growing up. He smiled hoarsely and exhaled a puff of smoke: "It's not that I found anything wrong, but our mission is probably over... or it has just begun."

"Xiao Qing, your parents were spies sent into Xuanye City by the Guiyi Army. Their mission was to infiltrate a secret exploration company of the Luofu Group. That company was the core department of the Luofu Group that was specifically used to explore the remains of the Old Dao Court. But in recent years, we haven't found any trace of their personnel in the outside world."

"Our intelligence shows that Luofu Group's resources are constantly being invested in this company, but their personnel have not shown any signs of movement in the wilderness. This abnormal behavior can only mean two things. First, this company is a pawn used by a faction within Luofu Group to embezzle resources."

"second……"

Tie Shou looked towards the direction of Chonggang Town: "They control a place that is completely isolated from the outside world. Our Guiyi Army cannot detect any Dao Court ruins."

"Whether it is the former or the latter, it is meaningful to us. As long as we infiltrate it, at least we can know the direction of Luofu resources in the recent period."

Iron Hand concluded: "If we can thwart their plans and seize key equipment, that would be even better."

"You mean..."

Huo Qing also thought of this possibility at the first time. He swallowed his saliva and looked in the direction of the warehouse: "It is Chonggang Town, and the ancient ruins of the immortal..."

"Ah."

Tie Shou was smoking a cigarette, his expression gloomy: "When your parents died, it was indeed not because Luo Fu discovered their identity as spies, but because they were killed by assassins from other companies."

“But now it seems that maybe it wasn’t other companies, but other groups – other groups outside of Luofu Group were also curious about Luofu’s actions, and their struggle affected us, so we were crushed.”

"Now it seems that if Luofu is exploring the ancient ruins of the immortals under Xuanye City, then everything makes sense. No matter how strong the Guiyi Army's intelligence network is, it is impossible to penetrate to this extent."

"But there is still a big doubt: if this ancient immortal relic has been here since ancient times, then theoretically it should have been discovered long ago and it is impossible to be hidden until now."

"But if it has not been here since ancient times, then when did it appear? And why can it move underground?"

"The only thing we can be sure of is that this ancient relic is very special. Luofu was caught off guard by its existence and revealed some flaws, which is why we discovered it... and according to our intelligence, the black market incident some time ago was caused by the loss of an important magic weapon that Luofu was escorting."

"Why was that important magical weapon transported to Xuanye City? There are many speculations at present, but in my opinion..."

Tie Shou pinched the cigarette in his hand and said, "It will be of great help in exploring the ancient ruins of the immortals."
