Compared to the grand affair of Tang Zhi learning about the Gou Chen identity, Tang Luo was actually more concerned about his two nephews. Although there are pros and cons to everything, those lascivious youngsters were quite impressive when it came to spreading their branches and leaves.

But Tang Luo still felt sentimental; he vividly remembered the little tail following behind him, the snotty-nosed toddler, and in the blink of an eye, this snotty little milk face had actually become a husband, a father.

This made Tang Luo suddenly lose himself in thought, as if yesterday’s events were still clear before his eyes, yet it had already been such a long time.

However, the world never understands the meaning of waiting and pausing. After Du Sha finished conveying Tang Baichuan’s message, he shifted to another important topic, “What do you plan to do with those children who were intercepted on the island these days?”

“Send those who were kidnapped with their parents still alive back to their families; for those who were sold and are orphaned, find a place to settle them in Chaochang, and then guide them in Foundation Building practice.”

Having adjusted his mindset, Tang Luo voiced the decision he had already made, which made Du Sha hesitate somewhat, “Seventy percent of them are girls; are all of them to be sent to practice Foundation Building?”

“All of them,” Tang Luo said indifferently. “In the pursuit of martial arts, men and women are no different. What harm is there in giving women a chance as well.”

Longzhou Calendar, Year 1786,

The second day of August,

The South Sea Daoist hall, meditation chamber,

Xiang Family Ancestor Xiang Qian and clan leader Xiang Ange sat on straw mats. They were somewhat puzzled as to why Xiang Yan, who was in seclusion, had suddenly asked them to come.

After all, the Xiang Family had many heavy responsibilities at the moment, not only rebuilding the inner city but also reorganizing the troops to deter potential threats from all directions. They couldn’t spare a moment without their presence. If it wasn’t for Xiang Yan’s request, the two of them would not have left Chaochang to come to the South Sea Daoist hall.

And Xiang Yan, who was aware of Xiang Qian and Xiang Ange’s busy schedule, did not intend to delay and got straight to the point.

He raised his right hand that bore the Immortal Cloud Whisk Soul towards them and said, “In recent months, based on the Yun Family’s ancient texts, I have researched the Immortal Cloud Whisk Soul and discovered many secrets, among which the most important is the hidden heritage of the Yun Clan!”

“According to the ancient texts of the Yun Clan, Yun Zu led the entire clan to abandon martial arts for commerce, and to show their enlightenment, they burned countless martial arts texts. However, what was burned were merely scrolls and bamboo slips; Yun Zu’s true heritage was hidden within the Heritage Divine Artifact of the Yun Clan–the Immortal Cloud Whisk Soul!”

“The Immortal Cloud Whisk Soul is not only a divine artifact of the Yun Clan, but it is also a key; with the help of this key and the bloodline of the Yun Clan’s main family, one can open Yun Zu’s dojo and obtain the martial arts heritage of that Saint King of the Human Race!”

What is the King Realm? The King Realm is the Way.

The mountains and rivers of stars are the Way, gatherings of birds and fish are the Way, metal, wood, water, and fire are the Way, and so are joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness.

And such a Dao can only be comprehended but not conveyed in words.

Each person’s Dao might be different, or everyone’s Dao could be the same.

Anything that can be spoken or recorded in writing is but a partial Dao.

Thus, the heritage of the King Realm was never inscribed onto scrolls but passed down through arenas and the heart.

But every Grandmaster, just one step away from the threshold, could assert that grasping the Dao of other King Realm masters would greatly benefit their breakthrough.

For the current Xiang Family, in order to advance, they must have a King Realm expert; only then could they stand firm as Mount Tai.

Whether they take a step forward to Zhongzhou or continue to stay in Chaochang, they could handle it with ease.

The arrogance of the Xiang Family had been thoroughly crushed by that Unparalleled Grandmaster in one battle. Now, the message Xiang Yan received from the Immortal Cloud Whisk Soul was as timely as snow in winter.

“Fantastic!” Xiang Ange exclaimed with rare joy, “The Great Commander has already calculated the complete void drifting route of the Minor Spiritual Realm of Longyuan. As soon as Longyuan is fixed in place, we can capture the Blood Tower and the Yun Family in one fell swoop. Then, using Yun Ji’s heritage bloodline, we can open Yun Zu’s arena. How wonderful would that be!”

“If it were so easy, our clan wouldn’t have been in a hurry to summon you both here!” Xiang Yan put down her right hand and said indifferently, “Only with a complete Immortal Cloud Whisk Soul plus the heritage bloodline of the Yun Clan can we open Yun Zu’s secret legacy. Right now, with only this Immortal Cloud Whisk Soul, we can do nothing!”

After all this talk, it turned out to be a false alarm, and Xiang Qian’s face immediately darkened. Meanwhile, Xiang Ange began to carefully recall the process of obtaining the Immortal Cloud Whisk Soul, only to end with regret, “This Immortal Cloud Whisk Soul was lost in the underground passageway when the Ghost Assassin and Yun Quan appeared. At that time, I found it strange that the paired Immortal Cloud Whisk Souls were down to just one, but the battle was so intense that I didn’t think much of it. Now that I think about it, it must have been lost by the Yun Clan during their years on the run, right?”

Entering a treasure mountain and coming out empty-handed probably describes their current mood. Having deciphered the legacy within the Immortal Cloud Whisk Soul, yet due to the loss of the Divine Artifact, they missed the Yun Zu legacy by a whisker, how could they not feel regretful?

But Xiang Yan didn’t bring them here to disappoint them, “Just now I’ve said that many secrets were discovered within the Immortal Cloud Whisk Soul, one of which is the Mother-and-Child Patrolling!”

Meeting the surprised gazes of Xiang Qian and Xiang Ange, Xiang Yan gently lifted her right hand holding the Immortal Cloud Whisk Soul and closed her eyes, “Using the breath of the Immortal Cloud Whisk Soul itself, I can sense that there is another source of the same origin within Chaochang responding to me. The location should be… the southern part of the central district!”

Her azure Square Heaven Unfixed Divine Pupil suddenly opened. Xiang Yan’s eyes shone with Divine Light, and she said to Xiang Ange and Xiang Qian, “The Immortal Cloud Whisk Soul is vital to Yun Zu’s legacy and must not be lost. We have to make full preparations and corner that person for sure. If we make even a single slip, allowing that person to flee into the Spirit World Passage, the Immortal Cloud Whisk Soul will lose its connection, and finding him again will become very difficult!”

Xiang Qian and Xiang Ange exchanged a glance and asked Xiang Yan, who was determined to succeed, “What’s your plan?”

“Move the Cold Moon Spirit Concealment Array from our residence to the area where this person is active. Only by using the power of the array to cut off any possibility of the person fleeing into the Spirit Realm and striking with absolute force can we ensure a foolproof capture,” Xiang Yan said seriously. “Before this, we must not alert the person. Being able to stay in Chaochang with half of the Immortal Cloud Whisk Soul after the Yun Clan’s defeat must be a top figure of the Yun Family. If he realizes what’s happening, capturing him will be as difficult as reaching heaven!”

“Moving the Cold Moon Spirit Concealment Array unnoticed to South City is not a task that can be accomplished in one day. If the person changes his hideout, all our previous efforts will be wasted.”

Xiang Ange held some skepticism about Xiang Yan’s grandiose plans, “If it’s just one person, why do we need to be so cautious? With both of you personally taking action, can’t we just capture them easily?”
