Chapter 151: Take Over the Lock Path Interval
Wang Jie took out a small shield and tossed it to Qiu Chou. It was something he no longer needed, and it was just in time to trade for that batch of materials.
For him, time was the most precious thing.
The longer it took to break through his cultivation, the worse it would be. As for these external items, they could always be acquired later.
The small shield was a second-grade star artifact, and with the addition of rainbow fusion force, it was a hefty price.
Qiu Chou agreed.
In fact, he hadn’t really intended to take the materials; he had simply stumbled upon them and grabbed them. He hadn’t expected Shen Wang to be so formidable. He had fought, but it would have been a waste not to take the materials.
Qiu Chou was in the wandering star realm, and a breakthrough was no simple matter. He needed other means. This batch of materials wouldn’t even be a minor enhancement for him, and it didn’t matter whether Wang Jie took them.
When Wang Jie saw the batch of materials, he immediately knew that the ninth seal was secured. He was just one material short of completing the final seal.
Without hesitation, he found a secluded spot to absorb the lock force.
Three months passed in the blink of an eye. It wasn’t until the ninth seal deepened to Heaven Reversal that he finally emerged.
He boarded the spaceship and passed through a Space-Time mini vortex to visit a shop and contact Elder Xing Xue. Some time had passed, and it was now the right moment to get in touch.
It had to be said, the Shen Wang ship was incredibly fast and impressive. It drew attention wherever it went.
As soon as Wang Jie entered, the servant’s eyes lit up. He hurried forward to greet him warmly, asking after his well-being and constantly speaking ill of Shen Wang.
“That person deserved to die. Brother Wang, I’m just glad you weren’t injured.”
Wang Jie smiled. “I’m fine, thanks for your concern. Please help me get in touch with Elder Xing Xue.”
“Of course.”
Soon after, Wang Jie heard Elder Xing Xue’s voice: “How are you?”
Wang Jie replied, “Junior is fine. Thank you for your concern, Senior.”
“Good. You did a great job this time. Quite remarkable. It must have been difficult for you to escape while blocked by the wandering star realm. Actually, this is partly my fault. If I hadn’t told you how to acquire the intel, you wouldn’t have been blocked.”
Wang Jie smiled. “It’s not Senior’s fault. I was just careless.”
Elder Xing Xue praised, “You’re quick-witted, with extraordinary talent. It’s a pity you’ve been cultivating lock force.”
Wang Jie didn’t refute, simply listening quietly.
“Despite that, I, the old woman, have managed to secure a scripture viewing qualification for you. Consider it a reward for your efforts this time.”
Wang Jie was taken aback. “Scripture viewing qualification? What does that mean?”
Elder Xing Xue briefly explained. Although her tone was calm, to Wang Jie, it felt like a thunderclap.
The so-called scripture viewing was the opportunity to read scriptures.
Black White Heaven had two scriptures that were renowned across the universe. One was called the Great Domain Canon, and the other was the Refining Travel Scripture.
The Refining Travel Scripture had nothing to do with Wang Jie—it was for cultivators of full star realm cultivation, meant specifically for breaking through the wandering star realm. It was still far out of his reach. But the Great Domain Canon was different. This scripture could be read by anyone, and its true effect would be revealed at the wandering star realm. Depending on one’s compatibility with the Great Domain Canon, different effects would emerge. Some people even experienced strange phenomena that shook the universe.
For those below the wandering star realm, the effects weren’t so obvious, but it could still enhance certain traits, such as strength, speed, star force, hearing, vision, and more. Some people might experience a great improvement, while others would see a minor boost.
This was the benefit of scripture viewing.
For two groups of people, this was particularly important: one was the wandering star realm, where the effects were most pronounced, and the other was those with Ten Seals.
Because this kind of enhancement could increase the success rate of breaking through the Ten Seal Great Mountain.
Breaking the Ten Seal Great Mountain was a critical step to reaching the Star Breaking Realm.
For ordinary cultivators, breaking the Ten Seal Great Mountain was already extremely difficult, not to mention someone like Wang Jie, whose Ten Seals were so unique that he didn’t even know how to break through.
Now, the path of scripture viewing could help him. It felt like finally drinking water after being parched.
“Thank you, Senior. With this scripture viewing qualification, breaking the Ten Seal Great Mountain will be much easier for me,” Wang Jie said.
Elder Xing Xue smiled. “Everyone has their own secrets. The reason you haven’t broken through to the next realm so far is either because the breakthrough is too difficult, or it simply isn’t the right time. The Great Domain Canon will definitely help you.”
“Is the scripture viewing qualification hard to obtain?” Wang Jie asked.
“It’s not too difficult. The people of the Xing family can obtain it. As for outsiders, it depends on luck.”
Wang Jie remained silent, understanding.
“The last person to obtain the scripture viewing qualification was a lock force cultivator named Xiao Rong.”
“Xiao Rong?” Wang Jie had heard of him before—he was Zong Cheng Ping’s master.
Elder Xing Xue replied, “He earned the qualification because of his great achievements on the star cloud battlefield. Although it was by chance, the achievement was still an achievement. His merit not only earned him the scripture viewing qualification but also granted him free access to the battlefield and the ability to return to the Lock Path Interval.”
“I’m most worried about those people using him against you. That would be troublesome.”
Wang Jie asked curiously, “Xiao Rong is also from the wandering star realm?”
“Yes, but he’s far more powerful than Shen Wang. If he leaves the battlefield, I’ll notify you. Keep an eye on Zong Cheng Ping; he has some affection for this disciple. You may be able to use him to maneuver.”
“Understood, Senior.”
Wang Jie thought the conversation was about to end, but there was a pause on the other end.
“Senior, is there anything else?”
Elder Xing Xue’s voice became deep. “If possible, help me take control of the Lock Path Interval.”
Wang Jie was confused. “What do you mean?”
“Literally. Take control of the entire Lock Path Interval.”
“Is that possible?”
“The Four Great Training Fields should be independent of Black White Heaven, according to the rules set by our ancestors. This was to prevent the upper echelons from persecuting lower-level cultivators, which could lead to the loss of talent. But now, things have changed. Wang Jie, if you can help me take control of the Lock Path Interval, I, the old woman, guarantee that your future will be bright. At least in the Fourth Star Cloud, no one will be able to bully you again.”
Wang Jie took a deep breath. “I’ll try my best.”
“This task is dangerous. If you don’t want to do it, I won’t blame you.”
“Senior’s kindness, I will always remember. I’ll do my best when the opportunity arises. In fact, a group of elders’ descendants will be arriving at Sword Mastery Heaven soon. I’ll see if I can build some connections with them.”
Elder Xing Xue’s tone shifted. “There’s no need for that. These connections are nothing compared to a word from some people. How you go about it is up to you. I’ll cover you either way.”
After the conversation ended, Wang Jie directly contacted Du Xian.
Since they were both in the Lock Path Interval, they could contact each other without having to meet in person.
“Which information are you buying?” Du Xian asked, surprised.
“I’m purchasing information about Xing Xue,” Wang Jie replied.
Du Xian thought for a moment. “Information from outside the Lock Path Interval can’t be bought from me.”
“I’m purchasing from Star Dome Visage,” Wang Jie clarified.
“Sorry, you’ll need to contact the person responsible for intelligence in Star Dome Visage, not me. I can’t help you with that either.”
Wang Jie was disappointed. “Alright, goodbye.”
“Wait.” Du Xian spoke up. “Although I can’t sell you the information, I’ve heard something privately. I can tell you for fun. Want to hear it?”
“Of course, thanks.”
“Xing Xue is currently in the second tier of the Xing family’s hierarchy. The Xing family has developed over countless years, with the highest-ranking senior being Zhi Yu. He has three sons and two daughters, but his three sons died one after another, and only his two daughters are still alive.”
“One is named Zhi Qing, and the other is Xing Xue.”
“A long time ago, Xing Xue had a falling out with the family over a relationship issue and left the Xing family to go to the Third Nebula. Zhi Yu even erased her name from the family register. Because of this, Zhi Qing, who had always been overshadowed by Xing Xue, rose to power and gradually took control of Black White Heaven’s decisions.”
“Before Xing Xue left the Fourth Star Cloud, she was incredibly powerful. The name ‘Xue’ was one she took after leaving; her real name was ‘Xue,’ meaning human blood.”
Wang Jie was stunned. “Xing Xue?”
“That’s right, Xing Xue. When she was still in the Fourth Star Cloud, most people feared her. She was the type of person who would kill without hesitation over a small disagreement, showing no mercy to anyone—even her father couldn’t change her mind. She used an iron fist to erase the negative impact of Zhi Yu’s three dead sons, stabilizing the family patriarch’s authority.”
“She made many enemies, but she also forced many to submit to her.”
“That was in the past. Now, her return is not just due to Zhi Qing’s reasons but also because some people are seeking revenge. The reason she’s been allowed to return is because Black White Heaven needs to increase the number of Star Refining Realm experts.”
Wang Jie understood. Now he saw that Xing Xue was essentially being used as a tool. No wonder a high-ranking figure from the Xing family, who was a Star Refining Realm cultivator, had no influence over the deacon hall and had to rely on him, a small lock force cultivator.
Du Xian slowly continued, “What Xing Xue really lacks now is an opportunity—a chance to reclaim power. Do you know that ever since her return, Zhi Yu has declared seclusion and refuses to meet with her? It’s not because he dislikes her, but to give her a chance. If they met now, Zhi Xue would find it difficult to establish herself.”
Wang Jie understood. “Thanks.”
Du Xian laughed. “No need for thanks. Just consider it after-sales service. I hope you’re satisfied, customer.”
Not long after, the spaceship navigated through the cosmos, heading to the destination: Lone Peak Gorge.
Wang Jie contacted Zong Cheng Ping: “I want to meet with Fu An and the others.”
Since the Shen Wang incident, Wu Yun had not contacted the Lock Path Interval, seemingly postponing plans to deal with Wang Jie for the time being.
Fu An and the others were relieved.
But before they could relax too much, Wang Jie suddenly reached out to them, making them uneasy, not knowing what Wang Jie intended to do. It wasn’t out of fear—they were all full star realm cultivators together. It was Wang Jie who should be afraid, as he could easily be surrounded and attacked.
But right now, no one had the energy to make a move on anyone.
Wang Jie absorbed lock force on the spaceship. After a while, the ship landed at Lone Peak Gorge.
No rush—he would wait. Lie Qiu and the others hadn’t arrived yet. Their spaceship wasn’t as fast.
After waiting for a while, once everyone arrived, Wang Jie finally entered Fu An’s courtyard. It seemed like a gathering place for many.
During this period, the number of full star realm cultivators who died in the Four Alliances and Lone Peak Gorge hadn’t been too high. The overall situation was still stable.
