Chapter 1360 - The Tailor’s Three Answers

There was no cutting them out or blocking them.

Because he and Shen Mu were ultimately the same person!

“I’ll consider this a heart devil. I’ll be free of it once I cut Snowjade down!” said Su Yi, his gaze unhurried and unflustered.

After fusing with the Temple Master’s experiences, Su Yi was accustomed to this process. Fusing with Shen Mu’s memories felt like retreading familiar ground.

Admittedly, he now had a heart devil that might act up and influence his mentality at any time.

But to Su Yi, this was unquestionably a rare opportunity to temper himself!

“I don’t regret that I cannot meet with my past self again. I only regret that he cannot bear witness to the strength of my heart.”

As Su Yi pondered, he started combing through Shen Mu’s experiences. There were things he could use in Shen Mu’s Dao Imprint too.

For instance, Shen Mu’s powers of comprehension, talent, and understanding of the Dao of the Sword were now his!

That aside, what surprised Su Yi was the vast number of precious ancient texts in Shen Mu’s memory. There weren’t just legacies of the Grand Dao. There were also numerous Daoist canons relating to cultivation and works of past sages. Their contents were rich and abundant, without any gaps.

These were texts Shen Mu had once read. After combing through Shen Mu’s experiences, Su Yi fused them into his own memories.

In doing so, Su Yi learned a lot.

For instance, the Epoch of Demonism didn’t exist in this world. Rather, it existed in a parallel timeline!

If the years were a river, then their world and the Epoch of Demonism were like separate branches split from a common source.

In the Epoch of Demonism, Demonism was the strongest school of thought!

However, their brand of Demonism was different from what Su Yi was used to. In the Epoch of Demonism, it had already developed into a complete culture of cultivation!

The Epoch of Demonism also had the Path of Transcendence, and it was home to countless worlds of cultivators populated by innumerable lifeforms.

Shen Mu’s clan was among the most ancient clans of the Epoch of Demonism. Their legacies of the Grand Dao were similarly connected to Demonism.

And the Six Desires Demonist Sect was one of the Three Great Sacred Grounds of the Epoch of Demonism.

Su Yi hadn’t known any of this before.

After taking in the contents of the ancient tomes Shen Mu had read, he felt as if his horizons had been broadened.

“Back then, Qing Chongxu of the Epoch of Illusions crossed the River of Time to arrive in the Dark and Gold Star Realm. He then destroyed the Dark and Gold Star Realm’s connection to the Path of Heaven’s Ascension.

“It seems that the Epoch of Illusions is just like the Epoch of Demonism, a parallel timeline with its own culture of cultivation.

“According to the ancient texts in Shen Mu’s memories, only a tiny handful of peak immortals in the Human Realm or those in possession of taboo divine artifacts can cross the River of Time to appear in parallel timelines.

“That unquestionably implies that Qin Chongxu’s true body in the Epoch of Illusions is an immortal in the Human Realm, and a top-notch one at that, or that he controls some taboo divine artifact. Otherwise, he could never have crossed the River of Time to appear in the Dark and Gold Star Realm.

“As for that Snowjade woman? The same likely goes for her.”

The thought made him furrow his brow. If she was already an immortal in the Human Realm, she’d be hard to handle. He wasn’t overly concerned, however, as the different epochs were separated by the River of Time.

Yet a portion of Lady Snowjade’s soul had nonetheless appeared in Crow Ridge to possess Heavenly Prayer.

From this, it was obvious how much she longed to kill him. They existed on different branches of the River of Time, but even that wasn’t enough to dissuade her!

She had no choice but to ask the Tailor for help!

At the thought of the Tailor, something occurred to Su Yi. He flipped his palm, and a jade slip floated into the air.

This jade slip was the Tailor’s work. The Fisherman gave it to him during the battle on the Violet Heavens Platform. It apparently had some of the answers to Su Yi’s questions.

Su Yi inserted a strand of his divine sense into the slip. In it, the Tailor answered three questions.

But when he saw the first of the three answers, Su Yi’s brow furrowed, and his gaze frosted over.

According to the Tailor, the mysterious culprits behind the attack on the Glittering Jewel Hidden Realm were connected to the Yun Family, one of the Ancient Guardian Clans of the Dao!

Su Yi would never have anticipated that.

There were six surviving Ancient Guardian Clans of the Dao: the Zhou Family, the Zhong Family, the Wen Family, the Skyfire Spirit Race Xu Family, the Blue Luan Spirit Race Feng Family, and the Yun Family.

Of them, the Yun Family was the most mysterious, and they kept the lowest profile. It was extremely rare for them to involve themselves in worldly affairs.

They weren’t even involved in the battle at the Violet Heavens Platform.

A long time ago, rumors circulated that the progenitor of the Yun Family was a true descendant of immortals with status too lofty for words!

There were also rumors saying that the Yun Family’s roots could be traced back to before recorded history, and that their ancestors included numerous immortals in the Human Realm. Their foundations were supposedly far beyond the other Ancient Guardian Clans of the Dao!

But even after racking his brains, Su Yi couldn’t recall the Temple Master ever establishing any sort of grudge with the Yun Family.

Rather, despite spending a lifetime traversing the stars, the Temple Master had never had any meaningful interaction with them. Certainly there was no grudge between them.

“Is the Tailor framing the Yun Family?” Su Yi’s eyes flashed.

But in the end, he shook his head. He understood the Tailor. The old schemer might well be despicable and insidious, but he wasn’t a sore loser.

He’d gambled knowing the risk of failure. He wouldn’t renege on their bet.

Su Yi took a deep breath, then read the second answer. It was about Old Cripple Wei’s whereabouts.

The answer made Su Yi frown even deeper. The Yun Family, again! Apparently, they’d captured Old Wei alive during the attack on the Glittering Jewel Hidden Realm.

“It seems I’ve got to pay the Yun Family a visit!” Su Yi’s eyes glinted with cold light.

He couldn’t figure out why they’d done this, but once he visited, all would become clear!

And his third answer was about Lady Snowjade.

The Tailor was apparently her martial uncle!!

This truth left Su Yi unwittingly stunned. He found this difficult to believe.

The Tailor is from the Epoch of Demonism? How truly unexpected.

No, that can’t be right. According to the ancient records of Shen Mu’s clan, crossing the River of Time and Space requires one to be an immortal in the Human Realm, or mastery of a forbidden divine artifact.

And even then, you can only project your power into the present day. You cannot come here in the flesh.

Does that mean that the Tailor I know is ultimately just a clone?

Here, Su Yi couldn’t help but rub his forehead.

Things were getting increasingly complicated.

“Forget it. I’ll probably learn the truth once I’ve dealt with the Old Tailor,” thought Su Yi. He set the matter aside for now. He had too few leads; he wouldn’t be able to reach an accurate conclusion with mere guesswork.

Besides, the Tailor had always been full of schemes. He might well truly be Snowjade’s martial uncle, but there were quite possibly other secrets behind it all!

Before I do anything else, I have to rush to the Yun Family as soon as possible!

Su Yi immediately reached a decision.

......

Morning the next day, Su Yi found Illuminating Emptiness and asked, “Do you know how to find the Tailor’s hiding place?”

Illuminating Emptiness shook his head. “It’s difficult, and he already knows that I gave you the Thousand Opportunities Talisman. You’ll no longer be able to use it to find the old bastard.”

Here, something suddenly occurred to him. “But you might have some luck if you try the Four Seas Tower!”

“Four Seas Tower?” Su Yi was stunned. That was the greatest trading company of the Divine Capital Star Realm, with branches throughout the stars. They possessed unimaginable wealth.

“That’s right,” said Illuminating Emptiness. “Back when I saved the Tailor’s life, it was the hidden boss of Four Seas Tower who came to receive the old Tailor.”

Su Yi mulled that over. “You mean the guy who calls himself ‘the Bookkeeper?’”

The man behind the Four Seas Tower was extremely mysterious. He’d always called himself the Bookkeeper.

“Yes, him,” said Illuminating Emptiness. “At the time, the Tailor was badly injured, and his life hung in the balance. When he was at his most vulnerable, he chose the Bookkeeper to come get him. He has to trust the Bookkeeper completely.”

Su Yi nodded. “I understand. Once I’ve paid a visit to the Yun Family, I’ll go visit this Bookkeeper whose wealth rivals entire nations.”

“What are you visiting the Yun Family for?” Illuminating Emptiness was flabbergasted.

“I’ll tell you when I get back,” said Su Yi. He was already headed out of the temple.

Illuminating Emptiness’s voice rang out behind him. “The Profound Divinity Sword House stands behind the Yun Family. They were the greatest faction of sword cultivators of the ancient era, and their ranks have given rise to numerous true sword immortals! You have to be careful!”

Su Yi didn’t even turn his head. He just waved to express his understanding.

“These are turbulent times, with endless grudges and enmities. A peerless figure like Fellow Daoist Su ultimately cannot avoid strife. He can only charge into the thick of it,” sighed Sword Immortal Qingshi.

Late at night just two days before, Su Yi had returned from the Violet Heavens Platform. Now, he set off for the Yun Family estate at dawn. How could he have rushed off like this purely of his own volition?

“Perhaps this is what makes Fellow Daoist Su so strong,” said the Universal Emptiness Sword Buddha. “When worldly affairs are turbulent, he raises his sword and cuts through them. That’s what let him temper such a sharp sword heart.”

......

Goldendawn Divine Mountain.

The ancestral court of the ancient Yun Family and the most famous blessed ground for cultivation in the Divine Capital Star Realm.

Throughout the ages, everything within three thousand miles of Goldendawn Divine Mountain had been a forbidden ground. Without the ancient Yun Family’s express permission, no one was permitted to enter!

The majestic divine mountain was covered in springs, waterfalls, and lush bamboo forests. Numerous ancient buildings dotted its slopes, making it the very picture of an immortal paradise.

Today, an air of celebration filled the lands of the Yun Family. There were colorful lanterns all over the place, and a wedding banquet was about to begin.

The second son of the family head, Yun Chaofeng, was about to marry the daughter of the Blue Luan Feng Family head, Feng Lingzi!

The prominent members of both the Yun and Feng Families were all in attendance, as well as numerous guests from other prominent families.

They’d even invited several powerful experts of ancient orthodoxies.

It was fair to say that their halls were full of distinguished guests. Here, experts were indeed as numerous as the clouds.

In truth, never mind ordinary people, not even leaders of first-rate factions were necessarily qualified to attend the Yun Family’s banquet!

The feast was already on the table, but the wedding ceremony had yet to begin. The guests were chatting amongst themselves.

And practically all of them were discussing the battle atop the Violet Heavens Platform three days prior!

But although no one knew it, the main character of that battle, Su Yi, was now headed right toward them...
