Chapter 83 - White robed woman

Time flies, and 12 years passed10th January, 28th year of Great Emperor EraDuring these times, a lot of things happened in the Northern Continent. The Golden Crow Kingdom unified the whole Northern Continent with the help of the Wei Dynasty. The battle was also spread as the Great Unification War. This battle continued for 10 years, and currently, the whole continent is in a rehabilitation period.The prices of food and all the resources have increased. Common people suffered much more than the rich, and many died of hunger. The Golden Crow Kingdom took the initiative to provide free food to all the citizens and also encouraged them in various food productions.There are multiple rivers present in the Northern Continent. Rivers in this world may not necessarily merge into the sea, and they also may not come from glaciers. They have no source and no destination, as if they are gifts of God.Jin Long helped them create multiple reservoirs, made various canals, and supported agricultural lands. He was a righteous king, and he unconditionally supported the subjects who served him.Ren Ying, the founder of Renhuo Trading, disappeared after the Tragedy of Crimson Grassland, which was a battle between Shu and Wei. This also caused a great sensation in the Wei Dynasty at first. However, he appeared one year later and also helped in fostering a friendly relationship between the Golden Crow and Wei Dynasties. He took part in the Great Unification War as one of the leaders. Renhuo Trading also spread its wings in the Golden Crow Kingdom, and slowly more and more people joined Renhuo Trading.When the war ended with the unification of the Northern Continent, Li Gang felt a great sense of satisfaction. He realized that even though he didn't like the process, he enjoyed the success. He enjoyed the domination. He enjoyed becoming the sole ruler of the Northern Continent.His fame has also risen in the Northern Continent as The Demon, not because of his identity as the Demon King of the South, but because of the battle prowess he showed in the war. In one of the battles, he single-handedly slew 10 Rank 5 Warriors and 200 Rank 4 Warriors.Somewhere in the Royal Palace of Golden Crow KingdomJin Long came towards a giant statue. It was present deep underground, hidden from everyone.An incorporeal voice sounded. "You did well. You can take the rewards as usual."Jin Long asked, "Aren't you going to ask why I am here instead of Huang-er?"The voice spoke to him indifferently. "There is nothing in this world which is hidden from me. There is nothing in this world which happens beyond my expectations."Jin Long nodded. "So, you knew she was going to leave before she left?"The voice spoke. "Yes."Jin Long didn't speak and took the reward and left.Beyond the Divine Spirit WorldTwo beings were present together."Why did you lie?""...""That girl Jin Huang is suspicious. Focus on her more. She did something unexpected, something out of her character. She can become a variable. She has escaped our clutches.""She hasn't escaped. We just didn't pay attention to her before since we focused more on those former emperors.""What if she has already mastered Abstract...""She hasn't. It is impossible to use it before becoming an emperor. The sheer mental pressure needed for that can even kill immortals. Emperors and low-tier immortals are barely able to use it occasionally. Only high-tier immortals have the ability to use it.""But she possesses the Perfect Soul!""This is why we have to give her equal priority as those emperors, but it is impossible for her to master that. Even though we didn't give her that much attention, if she had tried to do it before becoming an emperor, we would have easily seen through it."Western ContinentThe Icy Desert is situated in the northern part of the Western Continent and is controlled by the Divine Ice Phoenix Sect. This sect is mostly women, with a few men. It is because they choose only specific types of disciples—those whose Spiritual Imprint is Ice type, with a relation to the Phoenix.The Phoenix is a divine beast which is very sacred. There are only a few Spiritual Imprints related to the Phoenix, like Li Yuxong's wife Huang Ling's Spiritual Imprint. However, it is Fire type.Since both Ice type and the essence of the Phoenix mostly appear in women, there are very few men in this sect. It's not that such Spiritual Imprints don't occur in men, but it is very rare.At this time, He Fan was currently lying in the abode of the Sect Master of the Divine Ice Phoenix Sect, the Palace of Ice Heart. The sect leader of this sect is Xu Bingqing. She is a Rank 8 early-stage Warrior!He Fan has many Dao companions. Xu Bingqing is one of them, whom he married 30 years back. He looked at her and asked calmly, "What is the situation with the Wonderous Sect?"Xu Bingqing said slowly, "They have been holding on up until now. It won't be long before their defense collapses."He Fan nodded. "Worthy of their reputation. Who would have thought they had 3 Rank 8 Warriors with them and many Rank 7 Warriors?"Xu Bingqing said calmly, "They have a secret technique to upgrade the level of Spiritual Imprint by sacrificing other Warriors."He Fan's eyes were deep. 'It's not that I don't have one, but using it now is pointless. This era is already producing countless geniuses. Instead of stealing, it's better to use those geniuses. The problem is, they have been hiding and training talents using those secret techniques for so many years, while I can only do so now, and it will be a waste of time.'He Fan has already created his own faction on this continent, with the name The Eminence. He easily trapped Xu Bingqing in his love net, and then, with her support and his incredible means, he conquered the Cloudy Plains led by the Gu Clan.Wonderous Sect became very passive with the combined attack of two major factions. However, they were not without counter-attacks. They have created a fortress, which was seemingly impenetrable. Even though it seems they are passive and will fall sooner or later, they are not that bad. A single mistake from the opponent, and they can strike back with a powerful counter-attack.At this moment, a giant Gryphon appeared above the Divine Ice Phoenix Sect. Xu Bingqing and He Fan both sensed it instantly and frowned. The other Warriors from the sect were alarmed immediately and instantly thought of attacking. However, the Gryphon landed on the ground, and a very beautiful woman in a blue-white robe came down elegantly. Her aura was completely unrestrained, showing Rank 7 mid-stage cultivation.Xu Bingqing and He Fan immediately came. They instinctively sensed a threat from this white-robed woman.Xu Bingqing asked lightly, "Who are you?"The lady didn't respond. She calmly caressed the Mistral Gryphon and helped a young boy to come down.She then glanced at He Fan and said slowly, "Let's talk privately."Palace of Ice HeartHe Fan and Xu Bingqing glanced at the white-robed woman.Xu Bingqing asked, "Who are you?"The woman didn't reply, instead looked at He Fan and said calmly, "Let her leave."Xu Bingqing said coldly, "This is my abode..."Before she could continue, the white-robed woman said lightly, "He Fan, let her leave."He Fan had seen countless women, but he was still surprised by her beauty. However, it doesn't mean he was entranced by her. He was a person beyond such superficial foresight. He appreciated inner beauty more than superficial outer appearance.He said calmly, "Why should she leave?"The white-robed woman said lightly, "You are the first holder of So—"He Fan immediately interjected, "Bingqing, leave."Xu Bingqing was surprised at the sudden turn of events. She looked at He Fan as she heard.He Fan smiled at her. "Trust me, leave for now. She is dangerous."Xu Bingqing nodded.He Fan took a peacock's feather and habitually caressed his face with it. He asked, "Who are you?"The white-robed woman said calmly, "Does it matter who I am?"He Fan looked at her deeply. "You are not the Shadow Emperor. Are you the Elemental Emperor? But from what I know, he was also a man, not a woman. I can't see through your disguise."The white-robed woman said calmly, "You are currently the person with the highest knowledge of souls and Spiritual Imprints in this whole world. Just do one thing for me, and we will go our separate ways."He Fan scoffed, "Why should I? What is in it for me?"The woman smiled. "What is in it for you? I won't be your enemy in the future. I hope this answer satisfies you!"He Fan glared at her deeply before speaking, "It depends on what you want."The woman looked at the boy and said slowly, "He hasn't awakened his Spiritual Imprint yet. I want you to replace his unawakened Spiritual Imprint before the upcoming Awakening Ceremony."In the Icy Desert, the Awakening Ceremony happens every year for younger generations between the ages of 10 and 15 years.He Fan was shocked at her demand. "You want to replace his Spiritual Imprint before he even awakens? Why?"The woman said coldly, "Just do what I ask. You don't have to bother about anything else."He Fan looked at her and said calmly, "It can be done, but you know I can't create Spiritual Imprints out of thin air. I need to sacrifice the soul of another person to do it."The woman said lightly, "You have fought with Wonderous Sect for so many years. Just capture one Warrior and sacrifice his soul. They are a demonic sect anyway."He Fan nodded. "You have to make a move one time whenever I need you. If you agree with this, then I can help him."The woman nodded lightly.He Fan said lightly, "At least tell me your name."The white-robed woman smiled and said slowly, "My name is Huang Li. This is my son, "He Fan removed the Isolation Formation and called Xu Bingqing.He said lightly, "Prepare a place for her to stay. She will stay here for the next few years. Also, I need to capture a few Rank 7 Warriors from the Wonderous Sect alive. Can you personally make a move?"Xu Bingqing glanced at him and asked lightly, "Is it for her?"He Fan glanced at the woman in front of him and said in a roundabout manner, "It's not for her, but for the benefits she offered."He could sense her hostility towards the white-robed woman.
