Chapter 1018: Luring Miss Mu into the Fray
This is troublesome.
So Shang Jue’s objective was to resurrect his lover?
Although Teacher Freya was born through a method akin to artificial insemination, she was still the daughter of Ishmael and Shang Jue. Shang Jue intended to sacrifice his daughter to revive his wife.
Xia Feng felt a massive headache, his mind racing with many thoughts.
Therefore, the destruction of White Emperor City, the Martial God Project, and the struggle for the Sumeru Throne—all these events, spearheaded or participated in by Shang Jue’s forces, were preparations for resurrecting the Blazing Red Dragon King.
To resurrect Shang Jue’s wife.
This guy was actually a devoted lover?!
However, while devoted, his path to resurrection had buried too many innocent souls.
Xia Feng quietly stared at Shang Shaoquan’s retreating back.
The middle-aged man, clad in a black trench coat, slowly turned and landed back on the ground, saying in a calm voice, “The barrier has been repaired. Let’s continue. Where were we?”
The imposing and indifferent aura radiating from the middle-aged man suddenly dissipated, and a gentle smile returned to the corner of his lips. “Yes, resurrecting the Blazing Red. Does the Supreme behind Saint recognize Ishmael? I wonder if that Supreme has any message to convey to you for coming to cooperate with this Seat.”
Xia Feng’s black eyes narrowed slightly, and he smiled. “Pillar State, there’s no need to test me. Let’s get to the main matter.”
The middle-aged man quietly stared at Xia Feng’s Spade mask for a while, then nodded with a smile. Whether there was truly a Dragon God behind the Spade Person, and whether they were merely borrowing the tiger’s might, was still uncertain for the Pillar States.
However, even with this uncertainty, as long as there were no fundamental conflicts of interest, they were too lazy to stir up more trouble and would just take it as true.
“According to the original plan, we were prepared to use ten thousand ‘miniature stars’ combined with my innate divine power to forcibly awaken the Blazing Red will within Freya’s bloodline.”
“However, since Saint is willing to cooperate, there’s no need for this alternative method that could easily annihilate Freya’s physical body. With the Stellar Energy combined with Heavenly Realm Spirit Energy, I believe this ritual will be smoother.”
“As for the S-class Spirit Paper, ‘Mirror of Imagination,’ that you want, this Seat has it on me. Once the ritual is complete and the Blazing Red is resurrected, the Spirit Paper will naturally be handed over to Saint. Of course, it will only be lent to Saint for two years; it must be returned afterward.”
Xia Feng quietly listened to Shang Shaoquan’s explanation. When he mentioned Stellar Energy and Heavenly Realm Spirit Energy having alternatives, he likely said it intentionally to subtly warn Xia Feng against any trickery.
He wanted Xia Feng to understand that his Stellar Energy and Heavenly Realm Spirit Energy were not indispensable.
It was just that other methods of resurrection would have side effects.
This made Xia Feng’s frown deepen. He had indeed infiltrated the enemy’s interior, but rescuing Teacher Freya was still quite difficult.
The true Shang Shaoquan was clearly already dead; his body and everything else had been controlled by Shang Jue.
In terms of strength, judging from the oppressive aura he displayed while repairing the barrier earlier, he was a Dark Controller Sage.
At this level, the three of them, even working together, couldn’t defeat him.
Of course, the main problem now was not whether they could win, but that they couldn’t get close to Freya.
Through the Bronze Eye of Deconstruction, Xia Feng could clearly see that around Freya, besides the pool of diluted Origin Egg liquid, there was a layer of solid-looking True God domain.
“Shang Jue’s True God will has been constantly monitoring this area,” Huang Zhaoyue’s cold mental message echoed. “The moment we make any move, He will likely teleport Freya away immediately, or even appear in person.”
Xia Feng listened attentively, while also taking the two pieces of paper thrown to him by Shang Shaoquan.
“These are the ‘Bloodline Awakening Ritual’ and ‘Blazing Red Dragon Pressure Spirit Particle Configuration.’ Once Saint understands them, we can begin the resurrection ritual.”
Xia Feng glanced at them casually. Although he didn’t like studying, he had seen enough to understand some things. This Spirit Particle Configuration wasn’t difficult.
However, he still handed the papers to Miss Mu, while he himself continued to examine the Bloodline Awakening Ritual. Then, as if remembering something, he looked up and asked:
“According to the ritual, it’s necessary to bring Ms. Freya into the Sumeru Realm, as Spirit Energy cannot leave the Heavenly Realm. Only within the Heavenly Realm can a stable Dragon Pressure be constructed for her. Does Pillar State trust us to take Ms. Freya away?”
As Xia Feng thought, if Shang Jue agreed to let him take Teacher Freya into the Heavenly Realm for the resurrection ritual, then there would be nothing to worry about. He could easily snatch Teacher Freya away. The only thing to consider would be how the three of them would escape and how they would face the wrath of a True God.
After all, although the Sumeru Gate was connected to the Sumeru Realm, one could only leave through the same gate they entered, and could not travel to other Real Worlds where Sumeru Gates were located.
Of course, the three of them could also hide in the Sumeru Realm indefinitely. If it weren’t for the fact that the Fourth Divine Treasury was about to open, and they needed to go inside to find the Origin Flower, this wouldn’t be a bad option.
“Naturally, I don’t trust you.”
Shang Shaoquan said calmly, interrupting Xia Feng’s wishful thinking. “Therefore, Saint needs to agree to use the ‘Mirrored Tower Realm Stone’ to upgrade the Sumeru Realm.”
As he spoke, a brown three-dimensional rhombus stone appeared in his palm, slowly rotating clockwise. Inside, various cosmic wonders flickered, exuding an extraordinary mystery.
“An Epic-tier God Relic that can upgrade parts of a sub-plane to the Real World, establishing a degree of connection with the laws of the Real World.”
The rhombus stone whistled through the air and landed in Xia Feng’s palm. The moment he sensed the information within, he couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. It seemed this Shang Jue truly was well-prepared.
This Epic-tier God Relic could upgrade parts of the Heavenly Realm, making them manifest in the Real World like a mirage, overlapping with it.
This would form a Mirrored Tower Realm.
Thus, Freya wouldn’t need to move an inch; she could be placed within the Heavenly Realm.
To dispel the Mirrored Tower Realm, one would need to crush the Mirrored Tower Realm Stone and wait for ten minutes before the upgraded area could detach from the Real World and return to the Heavenly Realm.
If the holder of the Mirrored Tower Realm Stone did not dispel the realm, everyone would be trapped within and unable to leave. Of course, such Epic-tier God Relics were ineffective against Gods.
True God-level existences could forcibly break through the realm and take people away.
If Shang Jue detected any unusual activity from Xia Feng, he could still teleport Freya away directly.
In this way, Abyssal Saint could safely awaken the Blazing Red will using Stellar Energy and Heavenly Realm Spirit Energy right under Shang Jue’s nose, without either party needing to worry about trust issues.
This truly left no room for snatching her away.
Moreover, Shang Jue had alternative means to Stellar Energy and Spirit Energy, making the resurrection of the Blazing Red will unstoppable. Xia Feng realized he had to personally participate and lead the resurrection to have a chance of rescuing Teacher Freya.
And it seemed there might still be opportunities to cause some trouble.
He vaguely formed a plan, tossing the Mirrored Tower Realm Stone in his palm, his black eyes narrowing as various means at his disposal and the events of the past few days flashed through his mind.
Words like “Heavenly Realm Spirit Energy,” “Blazing Red Resurrection,” “the outcome of April,” and “the gate to the Divine Treasury” flickered through his thoughts. Xia Feng’s gaze shifted, finally landing on the Red Spade Person beside him, his eyes lighting up.
He had it!
A sinister scheme that would kill two birds with one stone quietly emerged in his mind.
Perhaps, he could even rescue Teacher Freya while luring Miss Mu into the April affair!
