Chapter 226: Black Sand Grotto-Heaven

Meng Chuan was shocked.

With just a glance at a soul’s memories, he could pry into heavenly secrets to deduce somebody’s ident.i.ty?

Regis G.o.dfiends have all kinds of magical skills. A Creation Supremacy’s techniques are even more unfathomable. With his current strength and status, Meng Chuan only knew about the various skills of Regis G.o.dfiends. He knew very little about Creation Supremacies.

When Qin Wu saw Meng Chuan’s shocked expression, he couldn’t help but smile. “Even I need a precious treasure to pry into heavenly secrets.” With that said, he flipped his hand, and an ancient bronze mirror appeared in his hand. He placed it on the table, closed his eyes as colorful light emitted from his body. Waves of light entered the bronze mirror.

After a while, an image surfaced on the bronze mirror.

“Oh?” Meng Chuan looked in surprise.

Qin Wu opened his eyes and looked at the bronze mirror. An old man with white hair appeared on the bronze mirror. He had a kind expression, but his eyes were deep and unfathomable.

“He’s the one responsible for it,” said Qin Wu. “Black Sand Grotto-Heaven’s Great Solar G.o.dfiend—Chunyu Mu.”

“Chunyu Mu?” Meng Chuan was shocked. “If I recall correctly, Chunyu Mu should be 178 years old this year! He’s not far from the end of his life. His reputation is also very good. He’s an extremely accomplished Mirage Fiend.”

“Yes.” Qin Wu nodded. “He reached the Realm of Dao when he was 136 years old. He condensed an Essence Soul at the age of 152. Now, his illusions are even more profound and intricate. In the past few years, he has contributed greatly in regards to dealing with demon monarchs.”

Meng Chuan nodded. It was extremely difficult to reach the Realm of Dao and condense an Essence Soul at a young age. That was why Marquis G.o.dfiends were rare. However, past 100 years of age, the number of G.o.dfiends that had reached the Realm of Dao was more than the number of Marquis G.o.dfiends. Zhang Yunfeng, Yang Fang, and Chunyu Mu were examples.

These three were in their 170s and 180s. As an expert that had reached the Realm of Dao with illusions, Chunyu Mu was more useful than Yang Fang.

“Why did he attack my father?” asked Meng Chuan.

“He never knew your father. He’s not related to him, so there’s naturally no reason for him to act,” said Qin Wu. “He’s a G.o.dfiend from Black Sand Grotto-Heaven. Someone with a rather high status in Black Sand Grotto-Heaven likely got Chunyu Mu to take action.”

“A mastermind…” Meng Chuan frowned.

He did not know much about Black Sand Grotto-Heaven.

“Your mother, Bai Nianyun, is one of the Bai family’s three Marquis G.o.dfiends. She is also one of the five Grand Yin Holy Maidens. There are too many grudges and disputes amongst them,” said Qin Wu. “Black Sand Grotto-Heaven once split because of internal strife. Even Imperial Lord Black Sand died as a result. Although they are now united against the demons, there is still compet.i.tion among the factions.

“They are divided according to the different cultivation systems. Black Sand Grotto-Heaven can be divided into the Black Sand faction, the Grand Yin Holy Hall faction, and the Halberd Holy Hall faction. It’s mainly a compet.i.tion between family clans as they compete for the rights to control Grand Yin Holy Hall and Halberd Holy Hall,” said Qin Wu.

“Rights to control Grand Yin Holy Hall and Halberd Holy Hall? Is it very important?” Meng Chuan was puzzled.

“The Grand Yin Holy Hall Master and Halberd Holy Hall Master will almost definitely become Creation Supremacies.” Qin Wu looked at Meng Chuan. “Do you think it’s important?”

Meng Chuan was shocked.

“There are quite a number of Grand Yin Holy Maiden candidates. One batch after another is eliminated, and now, there are only five left. Your mother is one of them. The last one to be eliminated from the five will become Grand Yin Holy Hall Master,” said Qin Wu. “Therefore, there are too many possible masterminds behind your father’s attack.

“For example… the other Grand Yin Holy Maidens who have a grudge with your mother or knew about the matter between your mother and father. They wanted to take revenge; thus, attacking your father. Or after your mother became a Marquis G.o.dfiend, the Bai family felt that the matter with your father is a stain on their reputation. They wanted to kill your father, but they didn’t want to be too direct and anger Bai Nianyun. Therefore, they indirectly made Archean Mountain take action.

“Your mother, as the Grand Yin Holy Maiden, has many suitors. Some might’ve learned the secret and, out of hate, ordered the attack on your father.” Qin Wu shook his head and said, “The internal politics of Black Sand Grotto-Heaven is a mess. I really can’t figure out who did it. The easiest way is to capture Chunyu Mu and interrogate him.”

“Capture Chunyu Mu?” Meng Chuan’s heart stirred.

“No.” Qin Wu shook his head. “The G.o.dfiends of each sect are under the jurisdiction of their respective factions. We cannot directly capture them. This is an agreement between the three sects.”

“Can we make Black Sand Grotto-Heaven investigate?” asked Meng Chuan.

“Investigate?” Qin Wu shook his head. “Black Sand Grotto-Heaven will definitely side with their G.o.dfiend. Without sufficient evidence, it’s useless.”

“But, Master, you have already deduced his ident.i.ty by prying into heavenly secrets.” Meng Chuan looked at the bronze mirror.

“Identifying a person by prying into heavenly secrets? There are only three people in the world who can do this. I only managed to do it with the help of a treasure,” said Qin Wu. “It’s mysterious and profound. Without sufficient evidence, Black Sand Grotto-Heaven will only write it off as our Archean Mountain being a troublemaker.”

Meng Chuan nodded slightly.

“The three sects joined forces to fight the demons. However, there is still internal strife between our sects. How can the three sects be completely harmonious?” Qin Wu said, “We are united on major matters, but divided on trivial matters.”

“I understand.” Meng Chuan nodded.

“Besides, every G.o.dfiend is very important now. Chunyu Mu is an important piece in their combat force,” said Qin Wu. “They won’t even give up on Chunyu Mu, much less the mastermind who has even higher status.”

Meng Chuan understood. Now that he knew about Chunyu Mu, the mysterious mastermind behind him was most likely from Black Sand Grotto-Heaven.

“It’s fine for us to reach this conclusion. When you are strong enough in the future, and Black Sand Grotto-Heaven wishes to seek your help, you will naturally be able to resolve this matter easily,” said Qin Wu.

“Black Sand Grotto-Heaven will seek my help?” Meng Chuan was surprised.

Amongst the three great sects, Black Sand Grotto-Heaven was on par with Archean Mountain. Both sides were even competing against each other in the demon monarch kill tally. The entire sect would seek the help of a G.o.dfiend from the opposing side?

“Once your Essence Soul reaches the seventh level. They will definitely seek your help,” said Qin Wu.

“Seventh-level Essence Soul?” Meng Chuan felt a little embarra.s.sed. “I’m still far from that.”

“You are still young. There’s hope,” said Qin Wu with a smile. “Let’s put this matter aside for now. I’ll write a letter to Black Sand Grotto-Heaven to pursue this matter. As for you, prepare well because… a large number of demon monarchs will enter the human world soon.”

“A large number of demon monarchs?” Meng Chuan was alarmed.

Qin Wu nodded. “According to our investigations, ten percent of the Demon Realm’s third Firmament demon monarchs will enter the human world.”

“Ten percent?!” Meng Chuan was alarmed.

Since his father’s innocence had been proven, he could only leave the matters with Black Sand Grotto-Heaven aside. Demons took top priority.

“The intelligence can’t be wrong,” said Qin Wu. “You and your wife need to be prepared at all times. The two of you are in charge of nearly an entire state.”

“Don’t worry, Master. I will do my best,” said Meng Chuan.

“Okay, bring your father back,” said Qin Wu with a smile.

Meng Dajiang—who was sitting there—snapped to his senses. When he saw Qin Wu, he immediately knelt and gratefully said, “Thank you for saving me, Supremacy.”

Now that he had regained his memories, he understood everything. Saying that he colluded with the Skydemon Sect was worse than killing him.

“You have to thank your son,” said Qin Wu.

An ordinary Indestructible G.o.dfiend case wasn’t qualified to be investigated by Supremacy Qin Wu—who controlled the entire Archean Mountain—personally. After all, Qin Wu was a busy man. He nurtured disciples, handled important matters, and cultivated… It ate up a lot of his time. In fact, normal cases wouldn’t involve experts like Chunyu Mu.

“Master, I’ll be leaving the mountain,” said Meng Chuan gratefully.

“Go ahead.” Qin Wu nodded.

Meng Chuan immediately left with his father, Meng Dajiang.

As for Qin Wu, with a wave of his hand, a brush, paper, and an inkstone appeared on the table. He began writing and sent the finished letter to Black Sand Grotto-Heaven.
