Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The first thing Xiao Shi thought of was to let Wu Muzhen investigate the members of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect in the Xingluo Province through the Heavenly Mystery Eye.
“I’m now equivalent to the person controlling the Heavenly Mystery Eye behind the scenes. There’s no need for me to personally carry out such an investigation.”
Thinking of this, his figure flashed from the Heavenly Mystery Palace. He arrived at Heavenly Mystery City. When he used his authority as the Palace Master of Heavenly Mystery Palace to sense the entire Heavenly Mystery City, he clearly sensed every member who had entered the Heavenly Mystery City.
“There are quite a lot of people!” Xiao Shi was a little surprised. After a preliminary count, he discovered that there were nearly 20 members of the Heavenly Mystery Palace in this Heavenly Mystery City. This meant that there were nearly 20 members of the Heavenly Mystery Palace in the current Xingluo Territory.
This number was already quite a lot. After all, these members were all left behind by the previous Heavenly Mystery Palace.
Xiao Shi clearly sensed Wu Muzhen’s location among these people. His figure flashed in the air. He appeared in front of Wu Muzhen.
Xiao Shi’s appearance made Wu Muzhen’s heart tremble. He immediately bowed respectfully to Xiao Shi. “Greetings, Palace Master!”
Xiao Shi floated in the air, his entire body emitting a dazzling light, preventing Wu Muzhen from seeing Xiao Shi’s figure and appearance through this light. “There’s something I need you to do.” Xiao Shi went straight to the point.
When Wu Muzhen heard this, joy immediately appeared on his face. He couldn’t wait for this Palace Master to arrange more things for him to do. The more the other party used him, the more he valued him. “Palace Master, feel free to instruct me.” Wu Muzhen said respectfully.
“Do you know the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect?” Xiao Shi asked first. “Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect?” Wu Muzhen thought about it seriously. “Are you talking about the Divine Protector Sect of the Great Wu Empire, the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect?”
“That’s right.” Xiao Shi nodded.
Wu Muzhen said as he recalled. “I only know that the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect was the Great Wu Empire’s divine sect back then. After the imperial power of the Great Wu Empire collapsed, the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect disappeared from the Tianwu Continent. However, 1 once heard that there seem to be disciples of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect in the Xingluo Province.”
Xiao Shi’s heart skipped a beat, but he asked calmly. “Then do you know the whereabouts of those disciples of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect?”
Wu Muzhen shook his head. “That was many years ago. Later on, I never heard of any information related to the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect.”
Xiao Shi was deep in thought. Clearly, Wu Muzhen did not know much about the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect.
“I need you to help me investigate the whereabouts of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect disciples in the Xingluo Province through the Heavenly Mystery Eye.” Xiao Shi said directly.
“Yes!” Wu Muzhen nodded respectfully. Then, he hesitated and said, “However, 1 can’t be sure what level of information this is now. If the level of information is too high, I’m afraid that with my Heavenly Mystery Eye, 1 might not be able to investigate.”
This was actually a situation that Xiao Shi was not sure about at the moment. The level of intelligence on the whereabouts of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect’s disciples mainly depended on their strength and cultivation.
If there were Martial Demon Realm experts among these disciples, then, the entire intelligence level would rise to the level of the Martial Demon Realm.
One thing was certain. There were no Sages among these disciples of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect. After all, there was only one Sage in the entire Xingluo Territory.
“That’s not right! If there are Martial Demon Realm existences among these disciples of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect, the information might rise to the Sage Realm.
“After all, these disciples of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect are doing their best to hide themselves. Furthermore, they hid themselves extremely well. Their concealment… can increase the level of intelligence! If it’s information at the Sage level, it will depend on Wu Muzhen’s own ability.” Thinking of this, Xiao Shi looked at Wu Muzhen and asked, “You are now at the Martial Demon Realm?”
When Xiao Shi asked Wu Muzhen to come to Zhongjiu City, he had seen him. Although he did not know about the Martial Demon Realm, he could clearly sense that the other party’s strength and aura were far stronger than the Martial Soul Realm.
“Yes!” Faced with Xiao Shi’s question, Wu Muzhen did not hide anything.
“I can raise your Heavenly Mystery Eye to the Sage level.” Xiao Shi said.
Apart from being able to take away the Heavenly Mystery Eye of these members, he could also improve their Heavenly Mystery Eye. For example, Wu Muzhen’s current Heavenly Mystery Eye was in the Martial Demon Realm. He could directly raise it to the Sage Realm.
Of course, there was a limit to the number of times. He could only upgrade the Heavenly Mystery Eye for three members of the Heavenly Mystery Palace at most. Even if he helped Wu Muzhen increase the level of the Heavenly Mystery Eye, he might not be able to detect the whereabouts of the members of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect.
Apart from the level of investigation, the energy value needed to investigate was also the key. Although Xiao Shi could increase the level of the Heavenly Mystery Eye for Wu Muzhen, the energy needed to investigate could only be accumulated by Wu Muzhen himself.
Xiao Shi could not help.
Wu Muzhen was not worried about that at all. He seemed very excited. His identity in the Xingluo Province was special. Not to mention anything else, he had always been very good at gathering all kinds of information. He believed that with the information he gathered on a daily basis, he did not have to worry about the energy of the Heavenly Mystery Eye at all. As long as the level of the Heavenly Mystery Eye increased, he could investigate.
“This is a Sage-level Heavenly Mystery Eye!” Wu Muzhen was extremely excited. Under normal circumstances, if he wanted to increase the level of the Heavenly Mystery Eye, he could only do so after his cultivation level increased. However, he had to advance from the Martial Demon Realm to the Sage Realm. This was out of reach for most martial artists. Especially in the Xingluo Territory.
All these years, there had only been one Sage in the Xingluo Territory. Many Martial Demon Realm cultivators in the Xingluo Territory had basically reached the end of the martial path and could no longer break through to the stronger Sage Realm.
If not for Xiao Shi’s improvement, it was impossible for Wu Muzhen to raise the Heavenly Mystery Eye to the Sage Realm. This made him feel very emotional. He felt that cozying up to the Palace Master was definitely the wisest and luckiest thing in his life. Now, the other party had just activated the Heavenly Mystery Eye and he had obtained such a huge improvement.
As the Palace Master continued to strengthen in the future, as long as he played the role of the number one lackey of the Heavenly Mystery Palace, there would only be more benefits in the future.
This made Wu Muzhen think highly of his future prospects.
As his Heavenly Mystery Eye was raised to the Sage level by Xiao Shi, Wu Muzhen did not continue to stay in Heavenly Mystery City. His soul immediately returned to his body and began to use the Heavenly Mystery Eye to investigate the whereabouts of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect’s disciples.
“If everything goes smoothly, I might be able to grasp the whereabouts of the members of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect when I arrive in the Xingluo Province..”
