Chapter 919: Hall of Astral Winds
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Where are all the people?”
Jiang Yi’s eyes flashed with white light, and he arrived in a new large hall. However, he was extremely astonished because he didn’t notice Wu Ni and the others. They had entered the same stone door, but there wasn’t anyone in front of him.
He immediately entered the Union of Heaven and Man state wanted to scout further away, but he got such a shock that his body shivered. Because by his side, he sensed countless astral winds; and they were shockingly concentrated. It was at least a hundred times or thousand times more concentrated than the outside. If he moved a little, the astral winds he would immediately attract the astral winds. Even if he was to activate the Thunder Fire Divine shield, he would still perish!
“Eh? There is someone? Could it be Wu Ni and the others?”
When he was scouting towards the front, he spotted two individuals 600 meters away. Those two individuals were standing motionless like stone sculptures and didn’t dare to move an inch. Jiang Yi examined carefully, and his soul spirit shuddered... as those two individuals were also familiar people. However, they weren’t Wu Ni, Jian Wuying, and others—it was Yin Ruobing and one of her guards. Sister Xing, Yi Chan, Ling Qijian, and the others weren’t here.
A wave of subtle fragrance came over, and Yin Ruobing’s bewildered voice quickly echoed. “Young Master Bai Yi? Why are you here?”
“Uh...”
Jiang Yi opened his eyes and looked at the fuzzy black shadow in the dark with curiosity. This place prohibited the divine senses, and Yin Ruobing’s back was currently facing him. How was she able to find out it was him?
“Fragrance, that’s right!”
When thinking about the fragrance earlier, Jiang Yi immediately realized it. This should be a special ability of the Fragrant Lady Race. He casually explained, “Young Lady Yin, where is this place? I don’t know why I am here either. I randomly walked and arrived here. This place seems very dangerous? I feel that should I move, I might die as soon as I move!”
He mistakenly entered the Divine Temple?
Yin Ruobing’s beautiful eyes flashed with suspicion. After all, the Divine Temple could only be entered today. Was Jiang Yi’s luck so heaven-defying?
Since everyone couldn’t move, they had no choice but to wait to be teleported out. She didn’t think so much and explained with a bitter smile. “Your feeling is correct, and you must not move. This is the Hall of Astral Winds. We are all very unlucky as this place’s astral winds are hundreds or a thousand times more concentrated than outside. A single movement would attract the astral winds, and you would be killed. Thus, we have no choice but to stand here obediently while waiting for the teleportation in a few hours later.”
“Hall of Astral Winds?”
Jiang Yi revealed a trace of agony on the corner of his mouth. It was fortunate that he immediately entered the Union of Heaven and Man state when he was teleported here. Otherwise, if he had casually moved earlier, he would be dead now. He paused for a moment and asked, “Young Lady Yin, where are Sister Xing and the others? Isn’t Young Lady Yi moving along with you? That’s right... I saw people entering this large hall in front of me earlier, but why don’t I see them now?”
Yin Ruobing explained, “There are dozens of large halls which surround the Divine Temple. Every hall has treasures and different types of danger. These doors randomly teleport the people who entered it. I do not know where Big Sister Chan and Sister Xing were teleported to. Alright, stop talking and don’t ever move. Otherwise, if you attract the astral winds, death will come for you.”
Yin Ruobing was afraid Jiang Yi might affect the astral winds and might implicate her. She closed her eyes and stayed silent, turning into a stone statue.
Jiang Yi realized something and was silently regretting. If he knew about this, he would have acted immediately when he spotted Wu Ni and the others. He had just wasted an opportunity for nothing.
He entered the Union of Heaven and Man state again, but he didn’t dare to examine Yin Ruobing’s area as he was afraid she might detect it. He silently sensed the astral winds around his body and wanted to see if there was a method to guide the astral winds away.
He didn’t encounter Wu Ni and Ji Tingyu; he might not want to do anything and just wait for the time to pass by and get teleported out. He had a chance to make a move earlier, but he hesitated, causing him to lose a great opportunity. Hence, he was naturally didn’t want to be resigned to this fate.
Yin Ruobing mentioned that this Divine Temple had many halls and doors which randomly teleport people. Yin Ruobing brought along ten subordinates, but there were only two of them where. If he was able to walk out of the Hall of Astral Winds, he might be able to encounter Wu Ni or Ji Tingyu who might be left out. How could he miss out on such a good opportunity?
Meditate!
He forcefully expelled all the distracting thoughts in his mind and carefully sensed the astral winds. He was thinking of a way to guide the astral winds away and a way to walk out of this Hall of Astral Winds.
The astral winds are so fast and so ferocious in power; how could it be repelled? The astral winds are invisible; how are the Divine Silkworms able to determine which wisp of wind contains the astral winds? What needs to be done to repel the astral winds?
He recalled the situation back in Wind Absolute Valley and the situation when the Divine Silkworms were flying in the astral winds. He recalled the time when he saw the wind attribute elder’s mystical wind attribute dao pattern back on the Tang Clan’s Heaven Fate Ship. His brows knitted tightly, and his mind was spinning at a speed which was 100 times faster. He was linking his thoughts with the astral winds surrounding his body and comprehending carefully, deducing and verifying.
The wind is formless, and so are the astral winds. The wind can flow, and the astral winds would flow along with the wind currents. The wind can destroy everything, and so can the astral winds. Could the astral winds be a type of wind that was evolved and more compact?
Questions flashed in Jiang Yi’s mind as he constantly guessed, denied, and inferred. He had forgotten everything at this moment; he even forgot that Yin Ruobing was standing in the distance as he fully concentrated on the world of the astral winds.
Time elapsed bit by bit. This Hall of Astral Winds didn’t have any luminous pearls on the walls and didn’t have any lanterns either. Thus, everything was in darkness, and it was very oppressive, which involuntarily caused fear and frustration.
Fifteen minutes, thirty minutes, one hour... two hours!
Yin Ruobing felt rather uncomfortable as she was rather unlucky and had teleported into this hall after passing through one of the large halls. It had been more than four hours, and she didn’t know who could Yi Chan, Sister Xing, Ling Qijian, and the others have gone to. Could they be in any danger?
Her eyes flickered, and when she noticed that Jiang Yi had been motionless for two hours, she was rather relieved. She then asked curiously, “Young Master Bai Yi, back during that day at the Lava Lake, why didn’t you wait for us? We looked for you for a long time after returning from Lava Lake. Much apologies... I am unable to obtain the Earth Star Lotus and the Fire Snake Orchid that you wanted. Big Sister Chan had gotten an Earth Star Lotus, but the rest were taken by She Fei!”
Yin Ruobing had concealed information about the Demon Sovereign as that matter was too bizarre. They had to seek advice after returning to their clans, and it was considered top-secret information. It was natural that she didn’t divulge it to Jiang Yi.
However... she was astonished when she noticed that Jiang Yi didn’t reply after she spoke.
After waiting for a moment, the fragrance from her body extended out and drifted towards Jiang Yi. Soon enough, a surprised expression was revealed on her face. Jiang Yi was currently in seclusion had shut all senses. It was no wonder he had ignored her question.
This person is truly odd and is actually cultivating in seclusion in such a dangerous place. If he were to accidentally attract the astral winds, he would be consigned to eternal damnation!
Yin Ruobing let out a sigh, and her eyes lit up as she had an idea. She muttered softly, “This person is truly a talent as he actually ventured into the Divine Temple. If there is an opportunity, later on, I should recruit him into the Yin Clan.”
Jiang Yi was currently in the Union of Heaven and Man state, but he didn’t use this state to examine the surrounding situation, hence, Yin Ruobing didn’t detect it. She waited for a moment before scouted her guard with the fragrance and noticed that her guard had also shut all senses and was standing there like a stone pillar. She sighed in her heart and felt rather stifled and frustrated.
“Hahaha!”
After a moment, there was a burst of loud laughter that had shocked Yin Ruobing and caused her delicate body to shiver and had nearly sat on the ground. Jiang Yi was yelling out like he had epilepsy, “I am wrong, wrong! The astral winds aren’t a wind. I have been inside a misconception. The astral wind is a type of unique energy, and it isn’t a wind. We have all been deceived—everyone on the East Imperial Continent has been deceived!”
“Bai Yi, have you gone mad?”
Yin Ruobing’s fragrance radiated over, and she had a huge change in expression when she saw Jiang Yi gesticulating in joy. The surrounding astral winds had been affected and were gradually moving over. It didn’t matter if this Young Master Bai Yi wanted to court death, but he was going to drag them along to die with him right now.
