Chapter 1285: Chapter 1292: Red Demon Venerable’s Remains

Qian Jiao Venerable’s forehead veins throbbed intensely.

She forcibly suppressed the urge to strangle her foolish son, stepped forward and pushed open the hall door, glaring inside with eyes full of fire.

Inside the cold, clear hall.

A handsome middle-aged man in a Confucian robe sat with legs crossed in front of an ancient chessboard.

On the chessboard, there was the remnant soul of an old woman.

Person and soul were playing chess.

From the chessboard, it looked like the headmaster was losing terribly.

"Husband! A distinguished guest has arrived!" Qian Jiao Venerable bit her silver teeth and said angrily.

The middle-aged man in the Confucian robe was none other than the headmaster of Wenhai Academy.

The first Confucian Practitioner of Hunyuan State, the Human Supreme at the brink of Heavenly Human Five Declines, Xingyuan Venerable!

Upon hearing this.

Xingyuan Venerable shivered in fear and quickly got up, saying, "Darling, you’re back?"

Qian Jiao Venerable glared again at the remnant soul playing chess.

The latter’s old face twitched, and it hurriedly receded back into the chessboard.

Jiang Fan was surprised; it turned out Qian Jiao Venerable was a tigress.

Even Xingyuan Venerable feared her!

What Ancient Giants, Five-star Giant Kings, they were all nothing!

The tigress was the most dangerous fierce spirit in the Three Realms!

Qian Jiao Venerable put her hands on her hips and snorted, "Didn’t you say you were staying at the academy to think of countermeasures?"

"You let me go to Young Emperor Mountain on your behalf."

"Fine, as soon as I left, you were holding that tattered chessboard and playing!"

Xingyuan Venerable realized there were two other people present, Jiang Fan and Venerable Lianjing.

Especially since Venerable Lianjing was a well-known strong figure of the current age.

He hurriedly coughed several times, casting a pleading look at Qian Jiao Venerable, hoping she would spare him some dignity.

Qian Jiao Venerable restrained her anger and did spare Xingyuan Venerable’s face, saying, "Venerable Lianjing has come to seek your advice."

Xingyuan Venerable heaved a sigh of relief, glanced at Venerable Lianjing, and upon noticing her anomaly, showed a heavy expression:

"Is it a Sage who injured you?"

After all, being the Supreme at the brink of Heavenly Human Five Declines, he saw through it at a glance.

Venerable Lianjing had been at the Heavenly Person Four Declines for many years, her domain solid as a rock, impossible to break at the same realm.

Only a Supreme at the brink of Heavenly Human Five Declines could possibly do it.

However, her son the Young Emperor was also a Great Venerate at the Heavenly Human Five Declines.

He was supremacist and unmatched in dominance.

Other Great Venerables avoided him, so how could they dare harm his mother?

It could only be an intervention from a Virtuous Realm!

Venerable Lianjing did not hide it, and said, "It’s a long story."

"Involving a Venerate, I can’t say much, please understand Xingyuan Venerable."

Xingyuan Venerable hurriedly waved his hands, "Don’t say it!"

"I don’t want to know either!"

He would only be asking for trouble by getting involved in a Sage’s cause and effect.

"So, your visit is to recover your domain and cultivation?"

Xingyuan Venerable sat in the main seat, looking helpless, "If that’s the case, there’s no need to mention it."

"If Wenhai Academy suffers great damage to its Yuan Energy, relying only on the other academies of Hunyuan State might not withstand the Ancient Giants."

Venerable Lianjing was not surprised.

After pondering for a moment, she said, "I heard that you found the remains of Red Demon Venerate in the Heavenly Realm."

"She was the demonic body of the Twin Sages, having killed so many Giant Kings a thousand years ago; her body should have accumulated much Merit."

"If you could bring her back, it might help you break through to the Great Sage Realm, right?"

Jiang Fan was secretly amazed.

Red Demon Venerate?

He was too familiar with her!

In the Secret Realm of the Mainland Demon Clan’s Northland, there was the grave of Red Demon Venerate!

Inside it were half of the Nine Phoenix Chao Dao hairpin and a blood-colored dress, as well as a coffin that preserved a body from decay.

All those were on him right now.

But he had never expected to hear news of Red Demon Venerate again, let alone that her remains were in the Heavenly Realm.

He once thought that the reason for only having Red Demon Venerate’s grave clothes left was due to her being shattered into pieces, with no bones remaining.

But it turned out she was in the Heavenly Realm!

Xingyuan Venerable said, "Venerable Lianjing, your information is quite well-informed, to even know this."

"However, bringing back her body is easier said than done."

"The Twin Sages had two innate souls, capable of dual cultivation in magic and Confucianism, thus proving the Dao to become a Sage."

"A millennium ago, in an ancient war, ambushed by several Giant Emperors, it was necessary to split the body in two, each soul controlling half the body to escape."

"The Confucian body perished at the hands of the Giant Emperor, while the demonic body successfully escaped, becoming the later Red Demon Venerate."

To this, Venerable Lianjing nodded slightly.

Her understanding of history was indeed so.

Xingyuan Venerable sighed, "In the end, when the war was nearly over, the whereabouts of Red Demon Venerate became unknown."

"Not until last time when we sent people to scout the Heavenly Realm above did we discover she had perished in the Heavenly Realm."

Jiang Fan listened intently.

Born with dual souls? And dual cultivation in magic and Confucianism?

And even more bizarre.

The ability to divide the body into two, each soul controlling a body?

It sounded like a mythological story.

The Virtuous Realm, truly a wondrous realm!

However, Jiang Fan was a bit puzzled.

Since Red Demon Venerate’s Nine Phoenix Chao Dao hairpin broke on the Continent, it indicates that while in the Continent, she suffered mortal injuries.

She might have even died back then.

But why would her remains be in the Heavenly Realm above the distant Hunyuan State?

He always felt that Red Demon Venerate’s death was full of mystery.

Taking her remains might not be such a good idea.

Venerable Lianjing’s eyes flickered slightly, and she asked, "You discovered Red Demon Venerate’s remains but didn’t bring them down."

"Did you encounter trouble?"

Xingyuan Venerable nodded gently, sighing:

"Her body lost control of all its Demonic Qi, nurturing an Evil Spirit within, now controlling her body."

"But this is a minor issue, eradidating the Evil Spirit with Thunder Dao Divine Power is enough."

"The real trouble is that near the remains, there is a military camp of Ancient Giants, with investigation revealing a Five-star Giant King stationed there."

"I’m worried that retrieving the remains would alert them."

Upon hearing this, Venerable Lianjing’s expression became stern.

If they were alarmed, the entire military camp of Ancient Giants would swarm out.

No matter how many people went up, it wouldn’t be enough to fill the gap.

No wonder Xingyuan Venerable was vexed about it.

Merit is within reach, yet unattainable.

That frustration must be hard to bear.

After a brief ponder, Venerable Lianjing’s eyes flickered as she said:

"My domain can silently transfer the remains to the vicinity of the Connecting Sky Black Pillar."

"Minimizing the risk as much as possible."

"Once the task is accomplished, could you assist in healing my injuries?"

Xingyuan Venerable’s eyes gradually brightened.

Venerable Lianjing’s unique domain truly held potential for significant aid.

He weighed the options for a moment, then said, "Helping you fully recover is difficult."

"Consuming so much Vast Energy, should a disaster strike, Hunyuan State would face inevitable ruin, making the Merit useless."

"I can only help restore your cultivation, but the domain cannot be repaired."

Venerable Lianjing couldn’t help feeling disappointed.

The Heavenly Human Five Declines caused by her damaged domain was her greatest concern.

The decline in realm was secondary.

Jiang Fan observed this, pondering slightly. Holding a considerable amount of Space-Time Dust himself, if he had Wish Paper.

It should be able to restore Venerable Lianjing to her former state, right?

His gaze flickered lightly, and he said, "Venerable Lianjing, go ahead."

"If this succeeds, your domain will be restored."

As long as they successfully retrieve the remains, he could obtain three sheets of Wish Paper from Qian Jiao Venerable.

Using one on her could be considered repayment for her kindness.

Venerable Lianjing looked at Jiang Fan in puzzlement, "And you are?"
