Chapter 1662 - Wu Ming

Chapter 1662: Wu Ming
Wait!

Jiang Yi thought about it for a while, raised his hand, and asked,
I was asking you why you are helping me.

He Nongying glanced at Jiang Yi as she played with the pearls in her hand and replied,
With your intellect, you still don’t know why? The Heaven Domain might be destroyed at any time. Once the Netherworld Thearch reincarnates successfully and regains his level of attainment, the Netherworld Realm would once again invade the Heaven Domain in huge numbers; that would be the doomsday of the Heaven Domain!

If the Heaven Domain perished, the entire Primordial World would go with it. At this time, the human race is still fighting each other. I have rescued you for a simple reason: you are a genius, and I do not wish for you to die amidst an internal struggle. I hope that after you grow more, you will go and fight against the Netherworld Race and kill many Netherworld Generals to buy the human race more time. If you die at the hands of the Dao Clan, you will be a nobody. If you die at the hands of the Netherworld Race, you would be a hero!

He Nongying looked at Jiang Yi as she was speaking. From her eyes, Jiang Yi could see her pain, helplessness, and sincerity. Jiang Yi nodded to himself silently. If He Nongying wasn’t acting, that meant that she had a very benevolent and righteous spirit; if she was acting, she was the deepest and most unfathomable lady in the entire world.
At this moment, Jiang Yi had been moved by her words and had an urge to fight for the human race; he was filled with passion and energy to resist the Netherworld Race, a sudden recklessness.
Jiang Yi recalled that the first time he had seen He Nongying, she had not killed him; there was a sliver of him that believed her. After all, it was very easy for her to kill him; she could easily move her fingers and slaughter him.
He paused for a while, rose, cupped his hands, and said,
Many thanks, Young Mistress He for your assistance. If I can escape, I will let bygones be bygones. If you have any need of me in the future, I will definitely give my all.


There is no need!

He Nongying gestured and said seriously,
I did not help you just to have you repay me with anything. I just want you to promise me something.

Jiang Yi responded seriously as well.
Please do tell!


Stop killing people.

He Nongying said very heavily.
Jiang Yi, I have seen your data; you have killed your way from the Stellarsky Domain to the Earth Domain, and now to the Heaven Domain. Too many talents and formidable martial artists have died in your hands. I wish that you would not kill any more people from now on.

In fact, the reason why the Netherworld Realm had managed to attack and take over so many big domains in the Heaven Domain is actually closely linked to the internal struggles within the human race. While the human race is on the brink of destruction, we are still fighting among ourselves. How laughable is that…?


Uh?

Jiang Yi was stunned as he thought about it. This was indeed laughable and tragic. The human race’s demise was almost here, and yet infighting was rampant; perhaps this was human nature?
After being silent for a long while, Jiang Yi sighed slightly as he said,
Young Mistress He, I admit that I have been a little too bloodthirsty. However, if you have read my data, you should know my temperament. As long as no one finds trouble with me, I will definitely not cause trouble.

You might not know what had happened in the Stellarsky Domain and Earth Domain; however, this time with Dao Feng, did I have any choice? If I didn’t resist, I would have died! I cannot completely agree to your condition. I can only promise that if I can not-kill anyone, I would try my best not to!


En, I hope that when you grow stronger, you can kill more Netherworld Race beings and fight for the human race.

He Nongying nodded. She then lowered her head, kept quiet, and stopped speaking; playing with her pearls. Jiang Yi thought for a moment and asked,
Young Mistress He, could you send me back to the Earth Domain?


Of course not!

He Nongying shook her head and said,
The Teleportation Formations to the seven domains are all in Nine Yang City; the Teleportation Formation to the Earth Domain has been sealed off. You will not be able to return in the near future.


I can’t return?
Jiang Yi’s heart sank. He blinked as he asked,
Then, where can I go?

The Heaven Primordial Domain was said to be very big; it was at least a thousand times bigger than the Earth Emanations Domain.
However, Jiang Yi did not know a single person here. If the Teleportation Formation was sealed for a year, two years, or even ten or a hundred years; he couldn’t possibly be a vagabond in the Heaven Domain for so long, right?
Yi Chan, Yin Ruobing, and Su Ruoxue have painstakingly come to the Earth Domain; they haven’t even managed to see him once. Did Jiang Yi have to be apart from them for a long time again?

Don’t worry!

He Nongying looked at Jiang Yi’s dejected expression as she said,
In at most one year, the Teleportation Formations would be reactivated. After all, there are always formidable martial artists teleporting from the Earth Domain; the four Supreme Thearchs would not allow the Dao Clan to mess things up. You can find a place to hide this one year; you can join the Demon-Killing Army.

Or if you wish to head to Qilin Empress Peak with me, I can bring you and join the Qilin Empress Army or the Nine Yang Army. Don’t think about joining the Yan Supreme Thearch or the Crazed Supreme Thearch Armies. These two armies have many formidable martial artists that are not linked to the Dao Clan.

You would definitely be safe in the Demon-Killing Army, the Qilin Empress Army, or the Nine Yang Army; no one would dare to act recklessly within each army. Even if the Dao Clan knew of your existence, they would at most try to come at you secretly; they would not dare to do so overboard.

Jiang Yi knew about the Azure Supreme Thearch Army, the Yan Supreme Thearch Army, the Crazed Supreme Thearch Army, Qilin Empress Army, and the Demon-Killing Army. It was his first time hearing about the Nine Yang Army, however. He asked curiously,
What is the Nine Yang Army? Aren’t there only four Supreme Thearchs in the Heaven Domain?


You don’t even know about the Nine Yang Army?

He Nongying looked at Jiang Yi as if he had seen a monster. She said,
You know of the Nine Yang Heavenly Thearch, right? He was the previous Primordial World Overlord! The Heavenly Venerate of the human race.


I have heard of the Heavenly Thearch Blood Oath. The Nine Yang Heavenly Thearch? The Nine Yang Army?
Jiang Yi’s eyes lit up as he said,
Could the Nine Yang Army be the Nine Yang Heavenly Thearch’s army back then?

He Nongying nodded as her eyes lit up. She was full of respect as she said,
The Nine Yang Army is the most powerful in the Heaven Domain; there is no other! This army was the Heavenly Thearch’s very own back then; he personally formed and trained it. Although it doesn’t currently have Thearch-Ranked formidable martial artists, thirty-six of them are Pseudo Thearch-Ranked formidable martial artists. The Nine Yang Army’s battle power is the strongest among all the armies.


The Heavenly Thearch was extremely brilliant and talented; he was the fastest in human history to become Thearch-Ranked; he took only three thousand years to become the Heavenly Venerate. He was also the most powerful Heaven Thearchly in terms of nomological mystical abilities and secret arts. The Nine Yang Army had benefited greatly from his teachings and possessed nine powerful divine formations.

If the thirty-six Pseudo Thearch-Ranked formidable martial artists were to join hands, they could instantly destroy a Netherworld King. The Azure Supreme Thearch had also said before that he himself wouldn’t be able to withstand a blow if all thirty-six of them attacked at once…


Awesome!

Jiang Yi sighed with amazement. He had heard some stories about the Heavenly Thearch before. He was apparently near the end of his life when the Netherworld Thearch launched a sneak attack and killed him, right? It was also because of his passing that the Netherworld Race managed to rise up and take over the big domains in the Heaven Domain and almost wiped out the human race.

In that case, why has the Heaven Domain not chosen a new Heavenly Thearch?

Jiang Yi thought about it as he asked bewilderedly.
A country cannot be without a leader for a day; as long as a new Heavenly Thearch is chosen, he could then rally everyone and unite the human race to go against the Netherworld Race. Didn’t you say that the Netherworld Thearch had reincarnated and is now in the midst of recovery? Now is the best time!


Hehe.

He Nongying smirked, shook her head, and said,
The four Supreme Thearchs are actually much weaker than the Nine Yang Heavenly Thearch back then; no one is willing to submit to another. Furthermore, the Heavenly Thearch’s divine weapon—the Fire Dragon Sword—that was used to rally the human race is now missing. Hence, the situation has become so.


The… Fire Dragon Sword?

Jiang Yi’s eyes narrowed. Wasn’t his sword the Fire Dragon Sword? Could it be the Heavenly Thearch’s divine weapon? Furthermore, that mysterious elder that owned the Fire Dragon Sword was so powerful it was frightening. Could he be the Nine Yang Heavenly Thearch?
Jiang Yi’s lips quivered as he took a deep breath and asked anxiously,
Young Mistress He, what is the Heavenly Thearch’s real name? What does he look like?


Not sure!

He Nongying seemed to still be worrying about the current state of affairs in the Heaven Domain and did not notice Jiang Yi’s anxious manner. She casually explained,
There doesn’t seem to be any portraits of the Heavenly Thearch; people who have seen him have tried to draw his picture, but they always encounter a mind block. As for his real name, no one knows. According to some legends, when he had not yet become the Heavenly Thearch, many people had called him ‘Wu Ming’.


Wu Ming[1]?

As if a thunder from a clear sky had struck, Jiang Yi’s body rocked violently as he then grew very still.
[1] ‘Wu Ming’ means ‘nameless’ in Mandarin.
