Chapter 685 – Conversation between the Compulsion God and the White Emperor

It’s a bust!

Before his cultivation had reached great success, what he was really proud of was his ability to solve crimes.

Crime solving ability equals logical reasoning plus detailed observation.

It was true that he did not possess the level of scheming of Supervisor Zheng and Xu Pingfeng, and could not do the strategizing.

But even the Supervisor doesn’t want to make a monkey out of him.

Even for Xu Pingfeng, who prided himself on his resourcefulness, Xu Qi’an had similarly allowed him to return home in defeat when recovering his qi.

All of this depends on his powerful “crime solving” ability, based on various clues, careful analysis, deduction, deciphered the true identity of the mysterious magician, so as to do a good job of countermeasures.

In only a year’s time, he had grown from a weak vessel that could be manipulated by anyone with impunity, to a top-notch expert even in the Transcendent Realm.

Growing up as one of the chess players.

He unraveled the veil of Xu Pingfeng, the “mysterious warlock,” step by step, and then he will also unveil the mysterious veil of the Supervisor.

Two peak warlocks couldn’t even play him in the palm of their hands, let alone the Heavenly Compass Granny.

“Granny came to the Extreme Abyss to find me today, stating the pros and cons and persuading me to leave the Southern Border, in fact, even if I don’t take out the bracelet, you will still tell me how to deal with it, right?”

Xu Qi’an put down his teacup and looked at the pale old Granny Tian Companion through the dim candlelight:

“You made your choice long ago to ally with me over Xu Pingfeng, didn’t you.”

“You’re a smart kid.”

Granny Sky Compass smiled, which was tantamount to acquiescence.

Xu Qi’an nodded and continued:

“Since this is the case, your next behavior is incomprehensible to me. You acted too neutrally, neither favoring me nor Xu Pingfeng, and allowed the five chiefs to fight me.

“But in fact, you knew that I could beat them because the Seven Extinction Compass in my body was given to me by you, Torina. In other words, you knew that the Compulsion Clan and Cloud State couldn’t make an alliance.”

“To ally with one party, one must break with the other, with your wisdom, how could you not secretly keep an eye on Ge Wenxuan? Although Ge Wenxuan is a small character, the Xu Pingfeng behind him should not be underestimated.

“I was able to think that Xu Pingfeng would have a backhand, there’s no way you couldn’t have guessed it.

“That’s why I think that you have a secret eye on Ge Wenxuan, what reason would make you allow Ge Wenxuan to fool around in the Extreme Abyss without stopping it?

“You once said that sealing the Compassion God is the Compassion Clan’s everlasting goal. I came over tonight to ask about this matter in addition to the Seven Extinction Compulsions.”

Although the Heavenly Compass wasn’t like the Heavenly Fate Master, who could peer into the heavens with impunity, it could more or less glimpse a corner of the future, and in the face of such a character, Xu Qi’an had long since kept his eyes peeled.

It was probably only Lina who would think of Grandmother Sky Compass as a kind, amiable old man, and that might be true, but it definitely wouldn’t be all there was to Grandmother Sky Compass.

Granny Sky Compass was silent and lowered her head to sew her clothes.

Xu Qi’an didn’t urge, drinking tea by himself, the bedroom was quiet, only the bugs outside the window chirping tirelessly.

The climate of the southern border is hot, even in winter, the grass is green, and the birds and animals do not have to spend the winter, at most, the number is a little less than in the summer.

“Knowing these things won’t do you any good.”

After a long time, Granny Sky Compass sighed and slowly said:

“Do you know what the power of that white light that rose up into the sky was?”

Xu Qi’an shook his head:

“Please tell me, Granny.”

“You should have heard of its name; there have been records of it and temples in Cloud State.”

Granny Sky Compass had just finished speaking when Xu Qi’an blurted out:

“Whitey?!”

When did Xu Pingfeng hook up with this god and demon blood descendant ………. His heart sank as an unpleasant feeling surged through him.

The Improper Son of Man clearly had a connection with this divine and demonic bloodline, and while this did not prove that the two sides were allies, there was a possibility that they could become allies.

A friend of the enemy, that must be the enemy.

“As I analyzed before, Yunzhou’s back is against the ocean, and it’s highly likely that it’s a backhand that that lineage left for itself five hundred years ago, and when it failed to rise up, it went far away overseas. Now that I look at it again, Xu Pingfeng’s choice of Yunzhou as his base camp might also have this layer of reasoning; he secretly and quietly hooked up with the White Emperor.”

Xu Qi’an habitually analyzed it in his heart, “It’s not clear what kind of bit pattern that White Emperor is, in any case, it won’t be a super quality ……..”

He took a deep breath, gathering his scattered thoughts together, and said:

“Go on, Granny.”

Grandmother Heavenly Compass said as she lowered her head to sew:

“It asked the Compassionate God three questions, the first of which was: when will you break free of the seal.

“The Compassionate God answers it – He will not be missing from the fall of the great age.”

It was a translation she had made based on her knowledge of divine and demonic languages.

He will not be missing in the fall of the great age? Xu Qi’an let out a hiss, saying that there was some thought that went into it.

Two messages were revealed in the Compassionate God’s reply:

One, the fall of the great age.

It could mean something, an opportunity, a catastrophe, whatever the “era” signifies, the level of involvement is definitely high.

The kind that no one below the Transcendent Realm is qualified to participate in.

Two, there will be no lack of Him.

The Compassion God was convinced that he could break free of the seal, a superlative would not be blindly confident, not to mention, the Celestial Compass Ministry was able to peer into the corner of destiny, and the Compassion God, who was the source of the Compassion Technique, could of course do the same.

Xu Qi’an, who had finished his thoughts, nodded his head towards the Heavenly Compass Granny, indicating that he would continue.

Grandmother Heavenly Compass went on to say:

“In the second question, it asked the Compassionate God: where is the Dao.

“The reply from the Compassionate God is that perhaps it has fallen completely.”

Where is Daozun ……..

This is interesting ah, a divine and demonic descendant, a spirit beast from overseas, would actually take the initiative to pay attention to Daozun ………. Xu Qi’an stroked his chin and mused.

Of all the superpowers, Dao Zun was the most mysterious and age-old powerhouse.

He became a Taoist era can not be verified, no historical records, can only be presumed to be the end of the Age of Gods and Demons, the human race and the demon race has just risen to the age.

But the time scale of this period is thousands of years, and it is simply impossible to pinpoint it.

Why would the White Emperor pay attention to a Daofather with no sense of existence? Why did it ask about the Compassion God again, who had been sleeping in the Southern Border since the end of the Age of Gods and Demons, and had been sealed by the Confucian Sage more than a thousand years ago?

If the Compassion God and Dao Zun had any interactions, it would have happened during the Compassion God’s slumber in the Southern Border.

Also, Compassionate God’s reply is very informative… Dao Zun may have fallen? Who could have killed Dao Zun? It can t be that Dao Zun himself is tired of living and ended himself ……… Xu Qi An asked:

“What does Granny think of the Dao?”

Granny Sky Compass shook her head, “I don’t know.”

Don’t know, not can’t say ………. Xu Qi’an said, “You have not spied the Daofather in the future?”

“You may have a misunderstanding of the Celestial Compass, peeking into the corner of destiny, what is a corner?”

Granny Sky Compass said helplessly:

“The lopsidedness of not knowing the cause and effect, the fragmented and jumbled pieces, and the confusion of not being able to peer into something with precision.

“It’s highly restricted and uncontrollable. It’s not as if the old body can immediately use a heavenly compulsion to spy on whatever it wants to know.”

The gap between your heavenly compulsion and the Supervisor’s “future live room” is also too big,……… Xu Qi’an muttered:

“Then what do you think the White Emperor’s purpose in asking about the whereabouts of His Holiness is?”

Granny Sky Compass shook her head again, her voice gentle and calm:

“In the third question, the White Emperor asked the Compassionate God: who is the Gatekeeper.

“The answer of the Compassionate God was that He originally thought it was a Confucian saint, but then He realized ………”

Xu Qi’an waited for a moment, but didn’t wait for a follow-up from Grandmother Heavenly Compass, and hurriedly said:

“Know what?”

Granny Sky Compass said helplessly, “I also wanted to know, but the power of the Ru Sheng sculpture blocked the Compass God and sealed it once again.”

……… Xu Qian nearly had a mouthful of old blood, and said that the Confucian saint is not a son of the people, and he has to give me a chapter break when he dies.

“What does Granny think of the Gatekeeper?”

He directly asked the Heavenly Compass Granny.

“I don’t know who the Gatekeeper is, but all information about the Gatekeeper is a heavenly secret that cannot be divulged. You have a great relationship with the Heavenly Guardian, you should understand what I mean.”

Granny Sky Compass replied.

“He who knows the mysteries of heaven will be bound by them.”

Xu Qi’an sighed and nodded, this was the price one must pay for prying into the heavens, the law of the heavens.

He poured himself another glass of water and took a sip, staring at the old man’s wrinkled face:

“The reason why Granny indulged Ge Wenxuan was to use him to pry the secrets of the Gatekeeper from the Compassionate God, right?”

If it was motivated by this, then the behavior of the Heavenly Compass Granny could be explained.

She had long ago chosen to ally with herself, acting so neutral and staying out of the way, but was actually waiting for Ge Wenshan to go to the Extreme Abyss. There was even a move to secretly help Ge Wenshan enter the Extreme Abyss.

For example, erasing his aura so that the Muddy Sky Divine Mirror couldn’t find him.

Another example was to help him clean up the parasites and beasts along the way so that he could reach the sculpture of the Confucian Sage without any problems.

Of course, these are just guesses and there is no need to seek proof.

Granny Sky Compass finished sewing her clothes, hung her head and bit off the thread, and said:

“Yes.

“It’s late at night, and it’s time for my old body to rest.”

Xu Qi’an said, “Latecomer is intruding.”

Blend into the shadows and disappear.

………..

Returning to the Force Compass Ministry, he found the hall lit by candlelight, and the siblings, Lina and Moxan, were having a late-night snack with a tub of meat for each of them.

Both had much torn clothing and were barefoot, with blood remaining on Moxan’s chest, but no wounds were visible.

Xu Qi’an presumed that the siblings had just sparred and Mo Sang, who was the older brother, had taken a beating from his younger sister, and at this time, the siblings were eating to replenish their strength.

Moxan said:

“Didn’t you say you’d abduct a Da Bong princess for me, or the first beauty of Da Bong back as a daughter-in-law.”

Central Plains women seem to be not on the aesthetic point of your force compulsion ministry ah ………. Concerning the Princess and the Crown Princess, Xu Qi’an paid attention and listened for a while.

“I’ve abducted you back ah, that woman beside Xu Ningyan is the first beauty of Da Feng.”

Lina swore.

“It’s even if she was born white, so she can at least get a tan, but with such an ordinary appearance, how did she get so confident that she claimed to be the number one beauty of Da Bong.”

Moxan disillusioned, gasping:

“The women of the Central Plains are really white and ugly, those merchants are cheating me.”

He learned from the mouth of the original merchants from the Central Plains that the Zhenbei Princess was the first beauty of the Dafeng, and the Central Plains merchants were talking about it.

Mo Sang then asked them how they compare to our Compass women.

The Central Plains merchant looked at the group of small black skins in the southern border and said sincerely:

“Clouds in the sky and mud in the fields.”

Moxan chewed his food hard and was indignant:

“I figured it out, so it turns out that our Southern Border girls are the clouds, and Da Bong’s women are mud.”

“No no, I’ve met princesses from the Middle Kingdom who are actually quite watery, just far worse than me.” Lina said pertinently.

“That’s true, you are the number one beauty of our Force Compass Ministry.” Mo Sang nodded his head, agreeing with his sister’s words.

Xu Qi’an mentally arched his hand toward his siblings and returned to his room.

Ahoo, Ahoo ………

The little peahen’s snores were rhythmic, and with his powerful eyesight, he saw his foolish sister lying on all fours, kicking off the animal skin blanket.

The wrist of his right hand was wet and appeared to have just been chewed on.

The bed wasn’t big, being occupied by two thirds of the little dudin, Xu Qi’an set her arms and legs in place, pulled on the animal skin blanket to cover the siblings, and closed his eyes to rest.

………..

In a haze, he heard a heart-rending growl, which woke him up with a start.

At this moment, by virtue of the Transcendent Realm’s strong and unparalleled Yuan Shen, Xu Qi’an clearly recognized that he was still “in a dream”, and his first reaction was:

The Witch God Cult Transcendent Masters are here?

Among the major systems that could deal with experts of his level in the dream realm, there was only the sorcerer system known as “Dream Witch” at the fourth grade.

Although the Taoist Sect also has the spell of hooking souls in dreams, that belongs to the divine supernatural powers that the Yin Gods bring with them, and compared to dream witches, it belongs to the difference between a specialty and a sideline.

In the aftermath of the roar, Xu Qi’an saw the image.

He saw a meteorite trailing fire beneath the azure sky, crashing to earth.

In the crimson and colorful firelight was a giant bird of flame with its wings torn off.

The Flame Bird fell along with the flames like a falling star, and the earth it fell towards was devastated with countless corpses strewn across it.

Giants with their one eye gouged out and blood flowing from their empty foreheads; Xuanwu with their snake heads severed and their tortoise shells riddled with cracks; twelve two-armed giants with their heads detached from their necks; and giant serpents whose bodies were comparable to mountains that were decaying, exposing their jagged bones.

The golden lion with only half of its body left; the meatball with a full body, gazing at the sky with hatred but long dead of life; the hydra with its head and body separated ………

These were the gods and demons Xu Qi’an had once seen in his dreams, born in the ancient times.

“I Saw What Happened When the Gods and Demons Fell ………”

This place was just a dream, but it was as if Xu Qi’an heard her own frantic heartbeat.
