Without understanding, one would not be able to see things even if they were right in front of one’s eyes.
For example, space. It was abstract and had no form, but it was everywhere. However, once one gained an understanding of it, one would see a whole new world. One might not be able to see space or the void, but one would be able to see the things related to it like spatial nodes.
At this time, Jiang Ming continued to travel using the spatial nodes, leaping from one node to another. The further the spatial node was, the more mana it consumed. After a while, he discovered his limit was teleporting 3,000 miles away. He was delighted. “This is amazing!”!!
Previously, when he traveled using the Akasa network, it would cause spatial vibrations. Hence, it was impossible for him to not leave any traces behind. With this, he would be truly traceless. Although it consumed a lot of mana, this was not an issue to Jiang Ming.
It did not take long before Jiang Ming arrived at the Hai Province. Since it was located near the sea, the people had to frequently deal with ferocious sea beasts. For this reason, the province was not very affluent.
In the past, there used to be three main forces here: the Jiang clan, the Feiyun Sect, and the Tianshui Sect. After the invasion of Bishui Sect, the Jiang clan submitted while Feiyun Sect was annihilated. Only Tianshui Sect was left struggling.
Jiang Ming called up the Human Path Records to check on Mu Shuiyun again. Following that, he received notifications that he had unlocked two new functions of the Human Path Records: Locate and Projection.
As its name suggested, the Locate function would help Jiang Ming pinpoint the location when he wrote his target’s name in the Human Path Records. He was delighted with this function. In the future, he would be able to find everyone in the future.
As for the Projection function, Jiang Ming could project his power over to his target after pinpointing his target’s location. He was shocked and delighted by this function.
Jiang Ming thought to himself with bright eyes, ‘This means I’ll be able to send my clones over. Why do I feel like the Human Path Records is much better than the system?’
Name: Mu Shuiyun
Race: Human
Gender: Female
Cultivation base: Primal Spirit Realm
Background: Elder of the Qingyun Sect
Relationship: -90
Innate Talent: Nine stars (Water Spirit Body)
Status: She was on her way to Hai Province to order Bishui Sect to attack Jiuyang Sect. When she was 10,000 miles away from her destination, she sensed a familiar aura that seemed to agitate her. She hurriedly switched directions, following the familiar aura. When she arrived, she saw a mansion near a beach. At that time, there was a banquet in the mansion. When she forced her way in, she saw Bai Lang, the white-scaled dragon, whom she had met in the past after being captured. She attacked Bai Lang in a frenzy, but when she realized she could not win, she cried. As it turns out, Bai Lang is Mu Lei’s nephew; Mu Lei’s father is his grandfather. Then, she pleaded with Bai Lang to seek revenge for his junior uncle, Mu Lei. Later on, she discovered two of the guests are the Chief Overseer of the Bishui Sect and the Clan Leader of the Jiang clan respectively. Currently, she’s plotting with them to annihilate Jiuyang Sect.
Jiang Ming frowned when he read Mu Shuiyun’s status. He speculated that the Bishui Sect had allied with the sea clan. The sect had moved here with the intention to conquer the Eastern Region. He wrote the words ‘Clan Leader of the Jiang clan’ on the Human Path Records, but nothing showed up as expected. It was not a name, after all; it was just a title.
Apart from that, Jiang Ming had a headache when he thought about Mu Shuiyun’s complex relationships. Initially, he had thought Bai Lang was Mu Lei’s father. Who knew Mu Lei was Bai Lang’s junior uncle instead? Mu Lei’s father was Bai Lang’s grandfather. After thinking about it, he thought it made sense. After all, Bai Lang’s grandfather was really strong. It was the reason the Qingyun Sect did not dare to retaliate even after he captured and violated Mu Shuiyun.
Jiang Ming shook his head as he muttered, “What a complicated relationship!”
Following that, he activated the Locate function with just a thought. In just a moment, he saw two figures that represented him and Mu Shuiyun respectively. A line connected the two figures, and the words ‘32,000 kilometers’ could be seen in the middle of the line.
Jiang Ming would have to travel southeast to get to Mu Shuiyun. Although he could easily find anyone with the Locate function, he was slightly dissatisfied. He mumbled to himself, “It’d be better if it’s more detailed and shows the route’s geography as well…”
Using the Human Path Records as a medium, his consciousness traveled through the void and arrived at the place where Mu Shuiyun was. He could clearly sense her and the spatial node within 100 miles radius. He could project anywhere within the area.
“The Human Path Records is really amazing! With these, I can be the best assassin in the world!” Jiang Ming exclaimed.
A naughty thought popped up in his mind at this moment. With these abilities, he would be able to go to Jiaoyong Peak’s pool without being discovered. At that time, he would be able to peek…
Jiang Ming hurriedly shook his head to dismiss the thought. It was inevitable to have bad thoughts. The important thing was to have self-control and to be able to distinguish right from wrong.
Following that, Jiang Ming looked at Bai Lang’s information.
Name: Bai Lang
Race: Scaled dragon.
Gender: Male
Cultivation base: Primal Spirit Realm
Background: Cave Master of the White Scaled Dragon Cave; one of the 36 demon kings in the Red Mountain Palace.
Relationship: 0
Innate talent: 9 stars
Status: After learning about the devil sects’ resurgence, he decided to investigate Bishui Sect by sending his son there. However, he was seized with rage when he learned of his son’s death. For this reason, he came to the mansion near the beach. He invited the Chief Overseer of Bishui Sect and the Clan Leader of the Jiang clan over to find out what had happened and to also plan their next step. During the banquet, he sensed the aura of an expert. The expert, who turned out to be Mu Shuiyun, attacked immediately. After he subdued Mu Shuiyun, he learned about his junior uncle’s death. The truth is that he doesn’t care for his junior uncle, but he decided to foster a good relationship with Mu Shuiyun due to her position in Qingyun Sect.
Jiang Ming was speechless when he read Bai Lang’s status. As it turned out, Bai Haitian was Bai Lang’s son! Bai Haitian’s father was a demon king in the Palace and his great-grandfather was the expert who captured Mu Shuiyun in the past, resulting in the birth of Mu Lei.
While Jiang Ming was on the move, he thought to himself, ‘Bishui Sect, the White Scaled Dragon Cave, the Red Mountain Palace, the Jiang clan, Mu Shuiyun… There’s also the Sima clan that Bishui Sect has contact with… All of them are all knowingly or unknowingly linked…’
Jiang Ming usually remained indifferent toward the chaos in the world. However, the current mess would, unfortunately, affect him so he knew he had to cut the source of the problems at their roots tonight.
In just a moment, Jiang Ming crossed hundreds and thousands of miles as he traveled to his destination.
