Helian Kong’s Identity
“Mu Yu, I’m actually a member of Third Heaven Palace.”
Mu Yu grabbed his chin.
“… Say something!”
“Cool.”
“I knew I’d shock you, and I know you think I’m a villain now, but Mu Yu, I swear I’m different to the current Third Heaven Palace. I’m a defender of justice…”
“No, I figured as much since I know Reverend Xuan Jizi was the leader back then.” Mu Yu was not going to be shocked a second time after the first time he learnt about Reverend Xuan Jizi’s secret identity. “If I am not mistaken, the souls trapped on the island were former members of Third Heaven Palace, and Reverend Xuan Jizi led the campaign.”
“Wait, you knew he was our leader?!”
“Archfiend Baiyuan told me, so I had a rough guess.”
“Archfiend Baiyuan has escaped his seal?”“I thought I told you.”
“Wait, that means the fiend race has three archfiends free now?”
“Strictly speaking, four. Soon, five.”
“Why didn’t you tell me something so important?!”
“Oh, how I wished to. You never asked me back on the island.”
“Reverend Xuan Jizi, indeed, said the archfiends must return, but five at once is too dangerous, no?”
“Elder, in my opinion, Third Heaven Palace should be our main concern.”
“Still… Don’t you have any qualms about my identity?”
“Well, you won’t hurt me. What do you what me to be sceptical about?”
“Yes, but… I expected you to be more shocked.”
“About what? Your membership with Third Heaven Palace?” questioned Xiaoshuai, sweeping up melon seeds he littered on the ground with spiritual qi. “You expected something like, ‘You’re a member of Third Heaven Palace?!’?”
“Yes.”
“More pertinently, Elder, you should know where Third Heaven Palace is located, right?”
Helian Kong hesitantly nodded. “After leaving the island, we don’t dissipate immediately but enter the passage to reincarnation. Third Heaven Palace is located where the cycle of reincarnation is. When I arrived there, I saw a burst of light, and then I don’t recall what happened after…”
“That makes things easier. I will be going to Third Heaven Palace in the future.”
“But…”
“Qian Shange and Wan Shuiyao are members of Third Heaven Palace. It should be as clear as day that Third Heaven Palace should not be what it is now. You have an obligation to guide them back onto the right path.”
Helian Kong started pacing back and forth for a while again. “You know what? You’re right.”
“Right now, we must focus on rebuilding Pill Cauldron Sect. You should also let Daoist Yun Dan and Daoist Yuan Hua know about your secret identity.”
“All right. This generation of Pill Cauldron Sect is a let down. I’ll put them in their place for you.”
“Deep breaths, Elder. They do not deserve all of them blame. The series of recent attacks aimed at them have stolen all of their Ascension Realm cultivators. You are their ace and hope now.”
“What about you? Aren’t you one of us?”
“I am Sword Shadow Dust Gale’s disciple. Strictly speaking, I am not a disciple of Pill Cauldron Sect. Eternally Youthful Ku Mu, who is a shifu and father to me, is a member of Pill Cauldron Sect, which is why I am helping out.”
“I completely forgot about that. That being said, since Eternally Youthful Ku Mu is your father and the one you want to revive, you have every right to lead.”
“Reverend Xuan Jizi.”
“What about him?”
“He is a member of Formation-Talisman Sect, and I happen to be their patriarch now.”
“Huh?!” Helian Kong wasn’t about to disregard Reverend Xuan Jizi, his leader. Thus, he tugged his beard and stated, “B-be Formation-Talisman Sect’s patriarch, then. It would not be right for me to take his junior… He was not the patriarch back in his day, but even his patriarch couldn’t hold a candle to him.”
“I helped Pill Cauldron Sect weather this crisis, so I will help rebuild. Nevertheless, Pill Cauldron Sect is fragile now. As an elder and someone familiar with Third Heaven Palace, I will be relying on you for guidance.”
“All right. I’ll go tell those two brats what I’ve done. How can they not know me?!”
Upon returning to the hut, Helian Kong went straight through the wall and came across Daoist Yuan Hua holding onto Helian Kong’s profile. “You two found out who I am?”
“Yes, we have…” answered Daoist Yun Dan.
Daoist Yuan Hua reeled off, “Elder Helian Kong lived in a distant past. He is the creator of rank six pills, destiny skeleton sovereign pill, windrider pill and the rank eight pill, heaven-defying destiny pill. He was one of the key members of Pill Cauldron Sect…”
“You created destiny skeleton sovereign pill and windrider pill?” Mu Yu exclaimed.
“Now that’s how you should react.”
“We have not confirmed if this is Elder Helian Kong, though, Mu Yu. We cannot rashly believe him without proof,” asserted Daoist Yun Dan.
“What other proof do you want when I’m here in the flesh?!”
“You mean, ‘Here in the soul’,” Xiaoshuai corrected.
