Chapter 63: Life Lantern
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
If the crown prince learned that the child was so happy merely because this Heart of Paradise allowed her to store and withdraw items as she pleased, he probably would not know what to say.
Her standards were too low…
Moreover, Qiao Mu still had no idea that she would have a tug of war with that strange sapling every time she wanted to take the Heart of Paradise from now on. Hence, was it really easier than using her own inner world?
Before putting away the paradise, Qiao Mu secretly tried to see if she could send herself into the paradise.
In the end, her thoughts were too glamorous, and she could not fit her physical body into the mini version of the paradise.
Qiao Mu pursed her lips and forlornly looked at the rolling magnet.i.te mines that encircled the paradise. It wouldn’t do unless she could actually extract from these magnet.i.te mines. Since she could not physically enter the paradise, she was afraid that relying on her mystic energy alone would not be enough to move such a large amount of magnet.i.te outside.
Sigh. Qiao Mu regretfully retracted the bead and swallowed it. Using her inner sight, as expected, she saw the sapling caressing the regained Heart of Paradise, looking as though it would not let go even in death.
Qiao Mu’s headache intensified. Until she could figure out what this misbehaving tree was, she could not stop being worried about her dantian.
The thickness of her mystic meridians was not only vital to the quant.i.ty of her mystic energy, but later also directly impacted the speed of a person’s cultivation. The dantian was even more important. It was the place that stored all the mystic energy inside a person, and the mystic energy that flowed through the mystic meridians would have to return to the dantian in the end.
Yet, such an important location was currently occupied by an unknown sapling. This… she could not be comfortable in the slightest.
Qiao Mu looked back at Mo Lian and just happened to see his finger folding back, and a fiery red object with the shape of a lampwick floated into his palm. He gently grasped it, and it dissipated into smoke.
The child curiously grabbed his hand and flipped it open to look at it. There was nothing in it.
“What was that just now?” This crown prince might look gentle, but Qiao Mu felt like his methods were extremely ruthless.
Crown Prince Lian aloofly said, “Ah, this is Ghost Saber’s life lantern. In second-rate sects like the Ghost Sect, elders and guardians or wors.h.i.+p-level people typically light an Eternal Life Lantern in their sect. The moment that the lantern ignites, these people’s souls will be connected with the lantern.”
Qiao Mu instantly understood and nodded. “Ghost Saber is dead now.”
“Right, he is dead, so the life lantern that he lit in the sect was also extinguished!”
“Then that lampwick…?”
“That is the miniature version of the lampwick that is engraved in his soul. When a person dies, that miniature version of the lampwick will quickly capture the scene before their death and can transmit the event back to the sect.”
“And you just now?” That grasp also snuffed out Ghost Saber’s last trace of hope.
This was the difference between strength and the suppression of cultivation! It tragically did not allow you to even have the opportunity to tip off the sect!
Yu Xiu waited until his lord finished explaining to the village girl before walking up with a person in his hand. “My lord, this woman had a mystic weapon that dispelled fire, it’s already been shattered by this subordinate.”
Yu Xiu tossed the tattered sandalwood fan that was snapped in half onto the ground like garbage. Only then did Qiao Mu clearly see that the woman who he had carelessly grabbed without any pity turned out to be the left guardian of Coitus Sect, Yao Ji.
Yao Ji no longer had her previous slim, graceful, and charming appearance. She sat on the ground like a beggar, messy-haired and dirty-faced with red eyes.
