Fury Towards The Burning Heaven

Chapter 993: Predestination

One task had turned into two!

Jiang Yi wasn’t angry and was filled with gratitude towards this Fifth Eldress instead. He clearly understood that Fifth Eldress was helping him; otherwise, she would even have to speak so much to him. The Heaven Hidden Sect was powerful and didn’t fear anything, let alone Jiang Yi. Even if the Nine Thearchs were here today, they wouldn’t yield.

Thus, he asked with resolutely, “What are the two tasks? Fifth Eldress, please tell me!”

Fifth Eldress pointed to the southwest and said, “30,000 miles in that direction, there is a sacred mountain and is the Dwarf Race’s stronghold. The first task is to help us raze the Dwarf Race and chase them out from the sacred mountain! This task is set by the elderess hall. It doesn’t matter what kind of method you use. As long as you can drive the Dwarf Race out from the sacred mountain, you will be qualified to meet with our Matriarch.”

“What?”

Even though Jiang Yi was prepared, he still got a shock. He clearly knew about the strength of the Dwarf Race. They were one of the Snow Region Ten Sects and were ranked no.5 they were just slightly inferior to the Heaven Devil Sect, and their Patriarch was also a Demigod. They had a race population of three million and countless Four and Five-Star experts.

The Fifth Eldress might have asked Jiang Yi to drive the Dwarf Race out of the sacred mountain, but it was no different from exterminating the Dwarf Race. The sacred mountain was the Dwarf Race’s foundation, and they must not lose the sacred mountain. If Jiang Yi was to complete this task, he had to kill all the Dwarf Race’s experts and their Demigod. Otherwise, it was impossible for him to accomplish it.

Demigod!

If Jiang Yi could activate the Smelting Divine Furnace to release the Nirvana Flames, he might have a chance to launch a sneak attack and eliminate the Dwarf Race’s Demigod. However, he didn’t have enough power of stars to activate it.

Earlier on, he had comprehended the five-star dao pattern ‘Icebound Thousand Miles’ and obtained some power of stars, but it was just too little. He reckoned that even if he depleted all his power of stars, he would only be able to use the Nine Yang True Flames. Killing a group of Heaven Monarchs wasn’t a problem, but he would never be able to incinerate a Demigod.

“Fifth Eldress!”

Jiang Yi’s eyes flickered as he asked with suspicion, “Your Heaven Hidden Sect is so powerful. Since you want to eradicate the Dwarf Race, why don’t you do it personally? Let alone mobilizing a Demigod, a single order would be enough to ask the Dwarf Race to obediently get out of the snow region, right?”

“Hehe.”

Fifth Eldress let out a faint smile and spoke softly, “Jiang Yi, our Heaven Hidden Sect has never been involved in the snow region’s dispute. This is the sect rule. Even the Matriarch couldn’t violate this rule unless we have concrete evidence that the Dwarf Race has provoked us.”

Jiang Yi’s mind thought quickly and asked, “You mean that... the Dwarf Race has provoked you, but you are unable to find any evidence and is only suspicious?”

“Clever!”

The Fifth Eldress nodded and said, “Last year, one of our sect’s Saint Ladies went missing, and there were various indicators that showed that the Dwarf Race was involved. The Dwarf Race people are born with physical flaws and are very self-conscious, arrogant, violent, avaricious, and lecherous. Our Saint Lady had vanished in the Dwarf Race’s territory and was possibly captured by the Dwarf Race’s Patriarch. However, our people investigated for a long time; and one of our Grand Eldresses had also personally made a trip to the Dwarf Mountain. However, she couldn’t find any problem or evidence. Thus, we cannot make a move.”

Furthermore, the Dwarf Race, Mammoth Race, and the Fire Chi Race[1] are of the same alliance. If we are to make a move, it will bring chaos to the snow region and destroy the balance. Hence, we want to ask you to do it. It doesn’t matter if you can’t find our Saint Lady as long as you banish the Dwarf Race and set deterrence in the snow region. You can use any method to do this task. If you banish the Dwarf Race, we can also help you to resist the pressure from the Mammoth Race and Fire Chi Race!

“Jiang Yi, after you succeed in this task, I will help you convince the various eldresses; and you may also enter the sect to meet with Su Ruoxue. Of course, she will not recognize you, and if you want Su Ruoxue to regain her memory and have her reliance for the Soul-Cleansing Pool to be dispelled, you still have to do the second task and get the Matriarch to help you.”

“I understand!”

Jiang Yi let out a long breath and lowered his head to ask, “What is the second task?”

“The second task is very simple and also very difficult!”

The Fifth Eldress looked to the south and pointed to the distance. “You should be familiar with the Mystic Divine Palace, right? The second task is to enter the Mystic Divine Palace and retrieve our sect’s sacred Glazed Pagoda. This cardinal treasure was seized by the Mystic Thearch back then, and it is also our Heaven Hidden Sect’s humiliation. Generations of our Heaven Hidden Sect’s disciples all want to take back the sacred treasure to cleanse our humiliation! If you can bring this sacred treasure back, the Matriarch will risk ruining her cultivation to help you dispel Su Ruoxue’s reliance for the Soul-Cleansing Pool. Apart from this, unless you obtain the power a Nine-Star expert and have the ability to suppress our sect, you will never be able to take Su Ruoxue back.”

“Mystic Divine Palace?”

Jiang Yi’s straight brows lifted while he paced around. Ao Lu said that Mt. Mystic Divine’s restriction would be neutralized after five years, and he had asked Jiang Yi to enter it immediately and would have the chance to obtain the Mystic Divine Palace. Right now, the Heaven Hidden Sect was also asking him to go into the Mystic Divine Palace to retrieve their sacred treasure?

One and a half years had already passed since the five-year deadline. There were still three and a half years left. In other words... even if he could accomplish these two tasks and wanted to take Su Ruoxue back, he would still need three and a half years.

“Three and a half years!”

Jiang Yi closed his eyes with agony while his mind was filled with a bright and beautiful woman’s delicate face. He didn’t see her for many years and didn’t know what Su Ruoxue turn into?

He stood and stared blankly for a moment before he sighed softly. “Fifth Eldress, can I see Ruoxue? It is fine even if I see her from far away. Don’t worry, I will not do anything reckless.”

“No!”

The Fifth Eldress shook her head and said, “Jiang Yi, our Heaven Hidden Sect are all females, and everyone had entered the Soul-Cleansing Pool and had lost our previous memories. The sect is afraid that the disciples would fall in love with outside men and defect, and so we have been teaching them a notion that no men are good! So... many eldresses and grand eldresses in our sect naturally viewed men with hostility. Even if I can bring you in if you are to accidentally infuriate a grand eldress, you might be killed on the spot.”

“No men are good?”

Jiang Yi laughed with mockery. The Heaven Hidden Sect’s people said that the Dwarf Race were perverts. How were they different? The entire sect comprised of only women, which would cause an imbalance of yin and yang. They were just a group of old virgins that never taste pampering and love from a man. How could they not be abnormal?

“I will take my leave!”

After standing for a moment, Jiang Yi turned to look at Fifth Eldress and coldly said, “When I banish or eradicate the Dwarf Race, I will be back. I hope that your sect will keep your words. Otherwise... I, Jiang Yi, swear to destroy your sect.”

Swish!

Finishing his statement, Jiang Yi immediately leaped off the mountain peak and flew into the distance. He brandished his hands to absorb the nearby astral winds with ease while he quickly vanished into the winds of the night.

Fifth Eldress stood quietly and looked in the direction where Jiang Yi vanished. It was unknown what was she thinking as she stood there for one hour before she let out a faint sigh and said, “Jiang Yi, don’t blame us for being heartless. This is your fate. At the moment you stepped into the East Imperial Continent, your destiny has already been set. You will either rise or fall. This is your predestination.”
