Immortal of the Nine Realms

Chapter 421: Innate Heart Pupil



Chapter 421: Innate Heart Pupil

Dongfang Haojie turned around sharply, but he didn't see anything.

A wry smile appeared on Dongfang Haojie's face. "Brother, why do you come and go like a ghost? At least come out and let me thank you in person."

There was no sound around him.

Dongfang Haojie waited for a moment, making sure the person had left, and then he looked strangely toward the next room. He and Immortal Void Rush were separated by only one wall, yet she hadn't noticed anyone sneaking in.

Dongfang Haojie felt overwhelmed. "What kind of supernatural power is this!"

Fortunately, this person didn't intend to harm him. If not, with such a supernatural ability, he would have been killed countless times. His father's trump card would have had no chance to be used.

Thinking of this, Dongfang Haojie went out again to find Immortal Void Rush and recounted what had just happened. After listening, Immortal Void Rush frowned slightly and murmured to herself. "He must have used a kind of concealment technique that even I couldn't detect. This person is either at the Nascent Soul Realm or possesses a top-tier concealment technique."

Dongfang Haojie gasped in surprise. "A top-tier concealment technique is that powerful?"

"When I say top-tier concealment technique, I mean the kind of techniques that are mastered by the likes of current sect leaders," said Immortal Void Rush, glancing at him. "Those are stronger than you can imagine."

After a pause, she continued, "Forget about what he told you about those people. I will send someone to secretly monitor them during this period. Don't reveal your hand. I want to wait for the Spirit Blood Sect to make the first move."

"I understand!" Dongfang Haojie nodded heavily, then asked, "Can I go talk to Fairy Tianyin?"

"Tianyin has a proud temperament. If you want to talk to her, go ahead, but don't blame others if you end up disappointed," replied Immortal Void Rush before slowly closing her eyes.

Back in his courtyard, Fang Chen once again projected his divine soul, but this time he didn't head to the palace. Instead, he went to where Jue Wudi and the others were. However, after observing for a while, he didn't see anyone monitoring them as mentioned by Immortal Void Rush.

"Could it be that these trackers have a concealment technique like the Shadow Buddha, making it impossible for me to detect them?" Fang Chen pondered silently.

Or perhaps Immortal Void Rush had been merely comforting Dongfang Haojie with the idea of sending someone to monitor them, but in reality, no one was dispatched to avoid revealing their hand?

"Sister, who are you looking for?"

"Young Lady, please don't speak. Are you here to see Master Fang Chen? You don’t seem like you’ve been here before."

With a thought, Fang Chen returned to his physical body and walked out of the quiet room.

When he came outside, he saw Chang Feilan looking alertly at a woman in plain clothes as she shielded Jiang Tianai.

Li Cang was standing on the side, looking somewhat puzzled.

The woman in plain clothes didn't say anything. Her gaze lingered on Jiang Tianai for a moment before shifting to Fang Chen. "Are you the descendant of Fang Tianyuan?"

Fang Chen nodded softly and clasped his hands. "Yes, I am. May I know who you are?"

"Descendant?" Chang Feilan and Li Cang flashed a hint of surprise in their eyes. Since Master Fang Chen addressed this person as a senior, it meant that her cultivation was at least in the Foundation Building Realm!

The woman suddenly pointed at Jiang Tianai and changed the subject. "Is this little girl from the Jiang Family?"

Fang Chen was surprised and asked, "Do you recognize her, senior?"

The woman in plain clothes gave him a strange feeling. She seemed like an ordinary woman, but no ordinary woman would hike her skirt up to her knees, revealing her flawless white legs. Not to mention, she wasn't even wearing any shoes.

Her bare feet were touching the ground as if she were confident they wouldn't be tainted with dust. Although such a thing could be bunched up to the spiritual energy circulation to remain clean, Fang Chen didn't sense any spiritual energy from the woman. Yet, it was as if... the dust couldn't even touch her.

The woman in plain clothes looked at Jiang Tianai and spoke calmly. "I thought the Jiang Family's bloodline had long been severed. I didn't expect to encounter a descendant with such a pure bloodline here. It's just that your cultivation is a bit low. It seems that the curse of your Jiang family has not completely dissipated. I ask you, are there still others in your family?"

Jiang Tianai didn't answer her. She looked at Fang Chen with a hint of pleading in her eyes.

"Answer the senior's question..." Fang Chen said calmly.

Fang Jian and Fang Wanli hadn't sensed the arrival of the woman in plain clothes, indicating that her cultivation was higher than the Golden Core Realm.

Jiang Tianai whispered, "I’m the only one left in the bloodline. There is a loyal uncle who has been captured by the Jue Family...."

"Jiang Zhong is the girl's servant," Fang Chen added.

The woman in plain clothes nodded gently. "It's only natural for the tiger to be bullied when it falls to the plain. I know a senior who has a good relationship with your family. If you're willing, I can send a message to this senior to take you away."

Jiang Tianai was slightly surprised and subconsciously said, "I want to stay with Young Master..."

"Lass, if what this senior says is true, the senior might be able to rescue Jiang Zhong," Fang Chen mumbled.

"Can you rescue Uncle Zhong?" Jiang Tianai's face showed a hint of struggle, and then she whispered, "Sister, if I leave here, can I come back later?"

"Naturally, you can, but the journey is long, and without sufficient cultivation, it will be difficult for you to return to this place," the woman in plain clothes replied.

Jiang Tianai nodded gently. "Please, sister, please send the message on my behalf."

The woman in plain clothes nodded back. "I've already sent the message. You'll need to wait for some time."

With that, she turned to Fang Chen, "Are you called Fang Chen?"

Fang Chen nodded lightly. "That’s right, Senior."

The woman in plain clothes asked lightly, "What's wrong with your eyes?"

"I’m blind."

Fang Chen opened his eyes, revealing grayish-white irises.

The woman in plain clothes looked at Fang Chen's eyes, shook her head softly, and then walked a few steps closer to take a better look.

"No, you're not blind."

Chang Feilan and Li Cang were puzzled.

He isn't blind?

"Innate Heart Pupil." The woman in plain clothes suddenly nodded. "I didn't come here in vain. For someone like you to exist among Fang Tianyuan's descendants can be considered a stroke of luck."

Fang Chen was surprised. "Innate Heart Pupil?"

I wasn't born this way, thought Fang Chen to himself.

However, he didn't say it. He wanted to see what she had to say.

"Senior, what exactly does 'Heart Pupil' mean?" Fang Chen asked.

The woman in plain clothes replied lightly, "The so-called Heart Pupil refers to your eyes being naturally washed by spiritual energy. Although you cannot see worldly objects, you are a good seed for practicing Eye Techniques."

With that, the woman in plain clothes took out a jade slip and handed it to Fang Chen, saying, "You are a cultivator, so you can see the contents of this jade slip. This contains a cultivation method for Eye Techniques. You can try practicing it. If you succeed, it will greatly benefit you in the future."

Chang Feilan, Li Cang, and the others weren't able to hear the conversation between Fang Chen and the woman at all. They were only able to see their two mouths move.

Then, the woman handed Fang Chen a jade slip and turned to leave. She walked out of the courtyard, disappearing without a trace.

Fang Chen scrunched up his brow as he touched the jade slip in his hand. "She just left like that?"

Eye Techniques? This should be a type of technique I haven't heard about before. Did this woman, of unknown origin, give him a technique and then leave?

"She knew Fang Tianyuan.... Could she be the... the demoness from back then?"
