Shennong Dao Master

Chapter 1759 - 8: Ji Si and Bean_2

"Returning to the encounter with Great Zhou, there are now two possibilities, and there may even be other reasons I don’t know about," Zhao Xing sighed deeply.The refugee from the Sangqing Ancient Country, Bean, the magic scholar Xi Hebo, and Lord Fu Wei, the Saint Sinon, are not ordinary people. For a moment, he couldn’t entirely figure out the reason behind this bizarre event.

"Among these three, I mostly know what the magic scholar Xi Hebo and the refugee from the Sangqing Ancient Country, Bean, plan to do later, but I have no clue about Lord Fu Wei. It seems my strength is still too weak."

If I were also in the Reincarnation Realm, then I would be fully qualified to investigate; now, however, I don’t even dare to look into it.

The waters of the Empire are much deeper than those of the Ancient Kingdoms Alliance.

"I’ll have to wait for Ji Si to wake up and ask him. I hope he’s okay."

...

Outside Jia Chen Pass, in the Annihilation Star Corridor, on an artificially transformed gray Boundary Star.

Bean, the Starry Historian, was sitting cross-legged on an open book, the pages emitting a green aura, with countless alien script twisting like worms.

Above Bean’s head was a closed black gold-plated book, the black and gold aura enshrouding his entire body, making this historian appear somewhat eerie.

At a certain moment, Bean opened his eyes, reflecting a world in his pupils, where there was a city bustling with traffic, and inside an unremarkable small restaurant, the phantoms of Ji Si and Bean sat facing each other.

"Ji Si, your Transmission Realm is quite interesting," Bean smiled, "Why don’t you let me out to take a look? Once I’ve seen it, I’ll let you go, what do you say?"

Ji Si remained expressionless: "Bean, if I let you invade my Transmission Realm, I’d become your slave. Do you think I’d agree to that?"

Bean replied indifferently: "What’s wrong with following a stronger one? Ji Si, you’ve seen it yourself. I easily sent out a single lineage clone and destroyed the Thirty-Six Star Cities conquered by the dynasty you serve."

"Your power is still insignificant in front of me."

"Is that so?" Ji Si remained unfazed: "If you could, why are you still sitting here?"

Bean said: "That’s because I admire your talent. By cultivating both life and history, not only can you withstand my lineage clone’s attack, but you can also breakthrough to the Tao Domain Realm during battle."

"Following me would be better than wasting your talent in that weak dynasty."

Bean stood up and walked gradually to the tavern door.

Ji Si’s expression changed, and his whole body emitted relentless light, yet it still didn’t affect Bean’s actions.

Bean lifted his foot, standing at the doorway, turned back, and asked: "You know things you shouldn’t know, so I can’t let you go. Now, I ask you one last time, are you willing to follow me?"

Ji Si still shook his head: "Bean, I warn you not to look."

"What a pity," Bean ignored Ji Si’s threat, just shook his head regretfully, then stepped outside the door.

He began to erode Ji Si’s Transmission Realm; Ji Si had just broken through to the Tao Domain Realm, while Bean was in the Reincarnation Realm, and even a lineage clone was not something Ji Si could resist.

It took Bean merely a short period of five breaths to reach the core of Ji Si’s Transmission Realm, a Time House filled with many secrets.

These Time Houses are said to contain hidden histories.

Just as Bean was about to breach the largest Time House and seize control of Ji Si’s core, suddenly—

"Buzz~"

A painting abruptly appeared within one of the Time Halls.

In the painting, a young man in a white vestment robe sat on the main seat of a floating platform, as if hosting guests.

Apart from two men and a woman beside the youth, there were nine daoist silhouettes present among the guests.

When Bean turned his gaze towards it, a golden pulse emerged from the scene.

It burst forth like flames, instantly reducing Bean’s lineage clone to ashes.

Then, this terrifying force even tracked back along the clone, directly striking Bean’s true form.

"What?"

Bean’s true form was shocked, and the black book above his head rapidly opened.

A dragon-headed bird-bodied phantom emerged from the black book, standing in front of Bean.

"Screech~"

Bean watched helplessly as all 500,240 feathers on the ’Heavenly Winged Divine Bird’ fell off.

Ultimately, it still couldn’t withstand the attack and struck Bean himself.

"How is this possible, what exactly is that... My fifty thousand years of hard cultivation couldn’t block it..." Bean roared.

Fifteen minutes later.

"Hmm?"

Bean awoke from his daze.

Only to see that the black book above his head had turned to ashes, and the green book beneath him was also in tatters.

"What, what happened?" Bean exclaimed in shock, "Wasn’t I invading Ji Si’s Transmission Realm? Why... Oh my god, what on earth happened."

...

At the same time, within Jia Chen Pass, Ji Si whispered as he woke up.

"Fool, I told you not to look..."

"What? Who are you talking to?"

Ji Si opened his eyes and immediately saw Zhao Xing’s face.

"Grand Minister of Agriculture?"

"It’s me. I sent a clone to Jia Chen Fourteen Pass to see you," Zhao Xing said.

"How long was I unconscious?"

"Not long, 3 months."

"Oh." Ji Si seemed to wake from a dream, still not fully recovered from its aftereffects.

Zhao Xing waited for a long time before Ji Si finally spoke again.

"Grand Minister of Agriculture, I’m alright now, I..."

"Mr. Ji, listen to me first," Zhao Xing began, "The ambush you suffered in the Annihilation Star Corridor was by the Rainbow Moon Dynasty’s people. I’ve found out."

"Grand Minister, behind this there’s more..."

Ji Si was about to explain in detail but was interrupted by Zhao Xing again: "You just recovered, don’t overthink it. This is just a standard border war; it’s only that Great Zhou lost, losing territory, and suffered heavy casualties, understand?"

"In the future, we can become stronger and avenge the Rainbow Moon Dynasty. But for now, you don’t have to worry about anything."

Ji Si looked at the card in Zhao Xing’s hand, and immediately nodded and accepted it: "Yes, I understand."

He read the message on the Tian Ning Card from Zhao Xing, another memory alteration has occurred!

But this time, Ji Si wasn’t flustered because, at least, Zhao Xing also knew.

"Alright, you just recovered from your injuries and broke through to the Tao Domain Realm, you still need to consolidate your foundation. I won’t disturb you any longer."

"Remember, if you encounter something strange, tell me first," Zhao Xing said.

"Alright." Ji Si nodded.

...

Having seen Ji Si, Zhao Xing felt a strong sense of crisis.

As someone who could retain memories during the Yuanhai Ancient Country incident, Ji Si’s uniqueness is only known to Zhao Xing, he didn’t believe Ji Si made a mistake.

Which means this recent severe blow to Great Zhou must have something to do with the Carlos Family.

But now, he can only pretend not to know.

"I’m currently only in the Origin Realm, really encountering some major events, I’d have to take risks. I can’t openly compete for or seize anything, and in disputes, I can only endure."

"Ultimately, it’s because my strength is too weak."

"I need to speed up my progression to the Coral level, and increase the favor with the big shots, otherwise I’ll remain powerless when encountering similar situations again."

Rationality told Zhao Xing that now is not the time for revenge.

He comforted Ji Si for a while and then left the room.

However, while his clone was taking a stroll in the rest area of Jia Chen Fourteen Pass, seeing the severely wounded Great Zhou officials, especially upon seeing Xia Jing’s body in the medical cabin, missing a significant portion, Zhao Xing still couldn’t suppress the surge of malice, his fists clenched tightly.

"Whether it’s the Carlos Family or not, I’ll remember this debt."

"When I rebuild myself, I will settle the score one by one sooner or later."
