I Bound Myself to a Destructive Witch
Chapter 570 - 570: 538. Winning, Princess Tianwu

The Star Wheel was divided into four levels.

The first and second levels were residential areas.

The third level was the entertainment and leisure area.

The fourth level was the starry sky area, specifically designed to host important figures such as the Black Moon Saintess.

In Xia Feng's view, the Black Moon Church had various internal problems.

Yet, for the citizens of the Empire, even though the Church had declined over the past few centuries, its sanctity was still deeply rooted in the people's hearts.

Wherever the Black Moon Saintess went, she received the utmost respect.

They might not have been the wealthiest on the Star Wheel, but their status was definitely the highest.

Xia Feng, frowning and enduring a parched tongue, moved down from the starry sky area on the fourth level to the third. Looking around, he still did not catch sight of Jiang Qiue and the others.

Having not consumed honey for over a day now, his skin seemed to shiver at every layer, and in his blood vessels and heart, it felt as though countless worms were climbing.

This was the curse of the honey.

If not removed, one had to consume honey daily, or else they would constantly suffer.

Xia Feng's frown deepened and, sensing through the hive mind, quickly located Jiang Qiue.

He passed through the sparse crowd as melodious dance music played, gentlemen inviting beautiful ladies to dance under the soothing, dim yellow lights.

Amidst astonished looks from the people around, Xia Feng walked directly to the VIP room on this level's second floor.

"That child... It's said that Saintess Qiu E has had a child, could it be him?"

Whispers circulated among the crowd.

"Nonsense, he's just a servant of the Holy Daughter! But it's said that the Holy Relics were obtained by this servant of hers. It's undeniable that Saintess Qiu E is still as shrewd as ever!"

"What a pity, those power brokers have been too oppressive, forcing the Holy Daughter to reveal the Holy Relics. Now the news of the Holy Relics at Spirit Mountain is everywhere, and our Church Court is in for big trouble."

"Ah, troubled times..."

Xia Feng pushed the door open.

The refined living room was dimly lit, with a wide, curved sofa situated in front of the French windows.

A nun with a hood sat sprawled on the sofa, seemingly resting with her eyes closed.

At the ends of the half-circular sofa, a woman in a snowy dress and another in a green dress sat facing forward, heads bowed and silent.

"....."

Xia Feng felt something strange and asked in confusion, "What are you all doing here?"

Cha Naixue and Jiang Qiue glanced at him simultaneously; they were about to say that Mu Qingtong had suddenly come here for unknown reasons.

They didn't want to stay in the same space as this terrifying woman, so they had deliberately left the starry sky area on the fourth level and found a VIP room on the third to stay put.

Unexpectedly, Mu Qingtong followed soon after!

She sat in the middle of the sofa, resting with closed eyes, not saying a word. When they tried to stand up and return to the fourth level, she wouldn't allow it.

It was utterly toxic.

Seeing that the three women remained silent, Xia Feng thought the two Saintesses were being bullied by Miss Mu. He didn't bother interfering further and came to sit at the head of the sofa behind Mu Qingtong, turning his head to ask in his mind,

"Miss Mu, do you think there are any outstanding women in history worthy of your admiration?"

Mu Qingtong looked up, puzzled. "Why do you ask?"

"Just wondering, do you admire any?"

"None," replied Mu Qingtong succinctly.

"....Let me rephrase." Xia Feng sighed, smiling, "Then, is there any human woman worthy of a moment's notice from you?"

Finding the residual spirit of the Dragon God in history was like finding a needle in a haystack.

Yet even if it were merely a residual spirit, it must belong to a remarkable individual.

According to the Dragon God, she did not know how this residual spirit had managed to survive until now, but it was probably her pre-sealing will that had remained.

Perhaps she had a mission that she had long forgotten.

These hundred thousand years would not have been lived in vain.

Therefore, with a try-it attitude, Xia Feng thought it might be possible to trust Miss Mu's intuition as to who might be the Residual Spirit of the Dragon God.

Mu Qingtong didn't fully understand why Mr. Xia wanted to ask this question, but still pondered for a moment before saying,

"Ten thousand years ago, as the gods gradually retreated from the historical stage, the Present Realm entered the 'Middle Ages Chaos', and nearly a thousand kingdom-churches emerged."

"If we're talking about individuals from these hundred thousand years of recorded human history that are worth my attention, there are two."

"The first is the emperor who united a hundred countries and established the first dynasty fifty thousand years ago, "Ying.""

Listening to Miss Mu's recount, Xia Feng nodded thoughtfully; he was somewhat familiar with "Ying."

For the first fifty thousand years of the Middle Ages Chaos, humans were constantly warring, with countless deaths every day.

It was only in the middle period that several brilliant figures emerged and successively established the five most powerful dynasties and church-states: Qian Yuan, Great Li, Great Shang, Tianwu, and Three Saints Sect.

Although the wars still ravaged the lands, there was significantly more peace than in the previous fifty thousand years.

Thus, the last fifty thousand years of the Middle Ages were also known as the "Dynastic Era."

The starting point of the Dynastic Era was the day "Ying" established the Qian Yuan dynasty.

Of course, no one has yet been able to confirm "Ying's" gender, whether male or female.

There are many gaps in the historical records of the early and middle Middle Ages.

"What about the second?" Xia Feng continued to inquire.

"The second one..."

Mu Qingtong's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, "The second is the Princess Tianwu of the Tianwu dynasty from ten thousand years ago."

Xia Feng was naturally also familiar with her; the historical data on Princess Tianwu was not only more complete than that on "Ying" but also more widely known than "Ying."

Ten thousand years ago, Princess Tianwu killed her father in front of the palace, usurped the throne, and became the Tianwu Empress and within a mere hundred years, she led Tianwu to respectively conquer Qian Yuan, Great Li, Great Shang, and Three Saints Sect.

She unified the Human Race's Present Realm, establishing today's Central Court Empire!

However, on the day the Empire was established, Tianwu Empress declared the abolition of the imperial system and implemented a "council-country co-monitoring system."

Three years into the Empire's history, Tianwu Empress fell into a slumber in the "Central Courtyard· Apocalypse Temple" and has not awakened since.

The "Central Courtyard Imperial Throne" has thus been vacant for a full ten thousand years.

Thinking of this, Xia Feng fell into deep thought.

Ying and Tianwu Empress, huh...

The historical data on Ying was scant. It was impossible to determine if she was still alive, or even to know her strength and gender.

But Tianwu Empress was most likely still alive, and currently located in Zone 1 of the Central Court.

This coincided exactly with the Pale Seal's judgment of the location of the Dragon God's Residual Spirit.

Now, all he needed to do was wait for this Star Wheel to keep moving forward, constantly narrowing the range.

Although it was somewhat hard to believe,

if the area really narrowed down to Zone 1, Xia Feng felt that there was a very high chance that the Tianwu Empress might indeed be the Residual Spirit of the Dragon God!

At the thought, Xia Feng had an ominous feeling.

After pondering for a moment, he looked up at Mu Qingtong, "Miss Mu, I need your help with something."

"Hmm?"

"If possible, help me find out... whether the Tianwu Empress has awakened."

Xia Feng's startling words made the two Saintesses nearby also raise their heads, looking surprised.

"You too, try to mobilize your underlings as much as possible to confirm this situation."

Though unsure of Xia Feng's purpose, the two wisely did not ask any further questions.

Cha Naixue frowned and shook her head, "This might be difficult. The Apocalypse Temple is guarded by the Apocalypse Knight Order. Even if there were any changes with the Tianwu Empress, the news would not possibly get out."

"Moreover... many within the Empire actually do not wish for this being to awaken, especially with the presence of the Holy Relics in the mortal world now."
