Chapter 1006 The Water Is Flowing All Around
Mu Xue said in a low voice, “When the old man came here, he was so furious as if someone owed him money. He said that he must beat you, master. I was pissed off, but I failed to defeat him. He seemed to be very powerful because he could fly here. Oh, by the way, Uncle Zhang and Grandpa Zhang seem to know him.”
“Oh?” Zhang Han’s expression changed. “What’s his name?”
In fact, he had a vague answer in his mind, because his soul sense could not penetrate into the pavilion under the thunder yang tree. There seemed to be only one person in Zhang Han’s mind who could do this on Mount New Moon.
“Yue Wuwei!”
Mu Xue gave the answer.
“He’s finally here!”
Zhang Han’s eyes lit up. He laughed and drove back to the front of the castle. After getting out of the car, he took Zi Yan’s hand and walked to the pavilion under the thunder yang tree.
As expected, it was that old guy Yue Wuwei. Just now, he was chatting with Zhang Guangyou and Zhang Mu calmly, but when he saw Zhang Han, he became livid.
“Zhang Hanyang!”
Yue Wuwei said angrily, “I’ve only been away for a few days, but you’ve made so much trouble! I really should teach you a lesson! If I don’t beat you up, you’ll never learn your lesson.”
“What did I do to provoke you?” Zhang Han didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
After he knew Yue Wuwei’s origins, he remembered the scene when he went to the Qingfeng Sect to find him. Later, the opening of the Spirit Treasure Pavilion showed that Yue Wuwei was kind.
Zhang Han had always been respectful to those who respected him.
He didn’t mind what a man on his own side said.
But someone did.
“Old man, how dare you hit my husband? Do you believe that I will swat you?”
Zi Yan snorted.
“Pfft...”
Zhang Guangyou sprayed a mouthful of tea on Yue Wuwei’s face.
He wanted to wipe it, but he didn’t reach out his hand.
He felt that it seemed to be something that Mengmeng would say. Since the speaker was Zi Yan, everyone present was stunned.
But they didn’t expect that Yue Wuwei was a little coward.
His expression changed rapidly, and finally, he whispered, “I won’t do that. Ma’am, stop swatting. If this goes on, something serious will happen.”
“Huh?”
Zi Yan was taken aback.
“This old man addressed me respectfully. He looks so scared. It’s too weird,” she thought.
“Humph!”
When Yue Wuwei looked at Zhang Han, he immediately snorted and snapped, “Come and sit down!”
“How could you talk to my husband like that?” Zi Yan rolled her eyes at him.
This was... the feeling of being protected.
Zhang Han smiled.
Yue Wuwei opened his eyes wide, and his voice was full of indignation. At last, he gave a little cough.
“Please sit down.”
When the two of them sat down, Yue Wuwei suddenly sighed with emotion.
“I admit that I’m the guardian of this planet.”
“What!” Zhang Guangyou exclaimed.
Zhang Mu’s pupils shrank in shock.
Puzzled, Zi Yan did not understand the specific meaning.
Zhang Han was not surprised. He chuckled and said, “I figured it out.”
“You figured it out? How did you do that?” Yue Wuwei raised his eyebrows.
“The spirit treasures in the Spirit Treasure Pavilion and the pavilion itself are precious. Besides, some people said something to me. You should be Black White Palace Master’s husband. After sorting out all kinds of speculations, I know that you probably have an important identity on the Saint Warrior Planet,” Zhang Han replied.
“What? You actually know about the Saint Warrior Planet?” Yue Wuwei said in disbelief.
“Is it that difficult? Those from the Cultivation World can know it at a glance,” Zhang Han replied.
“Hah?” A trace of surprise flashed in Yue Wuwei’s eyes, but he said in a mocking tone, “Do you think that the Cultivation World is superior? Only those who have reached the Tribulation Stage can tell that it’s the Saint Warrior Planet. Who on earth are you?”
As the saying goes, the higher you stand, the farther you can see.
For example, there were many secrets that only people with high status had access to. Those with low status were not qualified to know them.
“I am Zhang Hanyang.” Zhang Han responded and pointed to Zi Yan. “I am also her husband.”
“Yeah.”
Yue Wuwei seemed to be struggling inside. “Why do I have to know who you are? You are her husband, and that’s enough.”
“Why would you say that?” Zhang Han asked.
“The one who gets Zi Yan wins the world.”
Yue Wuwei looked at the sky in front of him and sighed softly. “Zi Yan has always been noble. She is also the first person I can’t see through on this planet. You are the second one. I really didn’t expect you to become her husband. Alas.”
“I think there’s something you should tell me,” Zhang Han said.
“Yes, but there are things I don’t know.”
Yue Wuwei frowned slightly, and a precious bead suddenly appeared on his right palm. It looked like the slowly rotating earth. He said slowly, “I am the guardian of this Saint Warrior Planet, as well as the ferryman between this planet and the Cultivation World.”
“Let’s talk about the sealed Saint Warrior Planet first.” Zhang Han suggested.
Their conversation confused Zhang Mu and Zhang Guangyou.
“What the hell are they talking about?
“Saint Warrior Planet? Seal? Guardian? Ferryman?”
“You even know the seals! I’m getting more and more curious about you. No, you should tell me your secret before I tell you mine,” Yue Wuwei suddenly said.
It made him look like Mr. Young-At-Heart.
“I got all the martial arts heritage of a predecessor who had passed the ninth-tier of the Tribulation Stage,” Zhang Han replied plainly.
“As expected!”
Yue Wuwei nodded. “That’s very powerful. At least on this Saint Warrior Planet, you are the strongest, except for Zi Yan.”
“I want to know my wife’s origins.”
There must be many secrets about the sealed Saint Warrior Planet, but Zhang Han didn’t pay much attention to them. He just wanted to know Zi Yan’s identity. Would there be any secrets or formidable enemies? If there were, he had to be prepared in advance.
“Zi Yan’s origins?”
Yue Wuwei froze. After thinking for two seconds, he said slowly, “I don’t know the specifics, but I do know that she has high status. The saying ‘the one who gets Zi Yan wins the world’ didn’t appear for no reason. She is detached from the world.”
“Is she the reincarnation of a mighty person?” Zhang Han asked.
“No.”
“Has she obtained the martial arts heritage of some predecessor?”
“Not exactly.”
“Then why?” Zhang Han asked curiously.
“I don’t know the specific situation, but I feel that Zi Yan should be revived here after someone mighty died. She shouldn’t be a reincarnation of someone. She is herself with infinite potential. You may also feel that her ability enables her to ignore the rules of the world,” Yue Wuwei said.
Zhang Mu and Zhang Guangyou were confused by his words.
If she could ignore the rules of the whole world, wasn’t she detached from everything on the Saint Warrior Planet?
What they didn’t know was that Yue Wuwei might not be referring to the Saint Warrior Planet only.
“I...” Zi Yan was confused and asked, “I used to be very powerful? Uh, who on earth was I?”
She was in a daze and couldn’t figure it out. Even Zhang Han didn’t understand, let alone her.
“You’re not a reincarnation. As I said, you are yourself.” Yue Wuwei was very friendly to Zi Yan. He smiled and added, “Let’s put it this way. For example, in your last life, you were very powerful. However, because of some irresistible situation, you died and your consciousness dissipated. However, the power that transcended the world remained. You now still have very strong power. You can grow into a mighty person in the future, and your consciousness belongs to you only.”
“Oh, I see. It means that I got the martial arts heritage of some predecessor.” Zi Yan nodded slightly.
“Maybe I understand.” Zhang Han touched his forehead.
It gave him a headache.
“It’s strange.” Yue Wuwei muttered again, “I went to the Sea Dragon Star Area 12 years ago, but when I came back, I found that you were pregnant. I was scared out of my wits and puzzled. About seven years ago, there seemed to be a time fault or a time storm on the Saint Warrior Planet. The rules were shaken. I thought that your power had awakened, but I heard nothing about it. Unexpectedly, you married someone. Alas, I tried to stop you several times, but it was too late when I knew it. I wonder what my master will do when he knows it.”
“Master?” Zhang Han narrowed his eyes and suddenly smiled. “Is the master you mentioned the secret impeller of this Saint Warrior Planet?”
“Hahaha, Zhang Hanyang, don’t think that the martial arts heritage of a predecessor who had passed the ninth-tier of the Tribulation Stage is very powerful. My master can kill someone like that with a glance.” Yue Wuwei laughed. “It’s not your place to be arrogant. My master said that the one who gets Zi Yan wins the world. Ha, she is far more significant than the martial arts heritage you got.”
Zhang Han’s mouth quivered.
He thought, “This old guy seems to be very resentful.”
But Zhang Han had to think about one question.
“What does Zi Yan have to do with your master?”
“Well... maybe they used to be a couple? A Taoist couple? Husband and wife?” Yue Wuwei teased.
“Boom!”
Zhang Han’s face darkened.
But unexpectedly, Zi Yan’s pretty face suddenly turned red.
Was she shy?
No, she was pissed off.
She was really angry, and she was even breathing a lot more quickly.
“What are you talking about?”
Zi Yan was like an angry tiger.
Yue Wuwei was shocked and quickly waved his hand.
“It’s just a joke. Why did you get mad? I’ve told you so much, but couldn’t I even make a joke? Forget it, I won’t talk to you anymore. You can think about it yourself.”
He looked aggrieved. After that, he pretended to get up and leave.
“Do as you please. If you don’t tell us, I’ll use my Sea Moon Fan every day.”
Zi Yan gave him a harsh look.
He immediately sat down and smiled bitterly.
“I really can’t afford to offend you.”
“Hmph.” Zi Yan snorted and ignored him.
“Well, what did I say?” Yue Wuwei looked at Zhang Han and asked.
His attitude was much better. He finally found that among the few people present, he could only talk about this with Zhang Han. Why did this guy seem to understand everything? It was weird.
“Your master,” Zhang Han replied.
“Oh, yes.”
Yue Wuwei’s face grew serious. After thinking for two seconds, he said slowly, “I’ll recite a poem for you first. My master likes it a lot. Rainbows Appear After Rain Tune: Prelude to Water Melody.
“Rainbows appear after rain. The water is clear in the midnight lights.
“When seen above Lake Taihu, the water is flowing all around.”
When he said this, his body emitted a mysterious aura. He looked like a refined immortal. His voice seemed to come from the Ninth Heaven, ethereal and mysterious.
“Beside Luxiang Pavilion is a few ramie trees. The little fishing boat dances along the surging waves. The moon, so big and bright, resembles a golden cake, as it’s the Mid-Autumn Festival.
“The fishing line is light, the stay-pole is steady, and I mock those nobles.
“A bamboo cape and a bamboo hat are enough for me. Even if the drinking vessels of those high officials are precious, they’re no different from ordinary glasses to me. I can get rid of my worries once I get drunk.
“Where is the lovely girl? Summon her to travel with me.”
A poem seemed like an advanced cultivation method after his recitation.
Hearing that, Zhang Mu and Zhang Guangyou looked at each other with shock in their eyes.
“What do you mean?” Zhang Han asked.
“It’s true that this place is the Saint Warrior Planet, but my master has set up various seals to maintain the balance here. It can not only connect the Cultivation World but also limit people’s strength. ‘The water is flowing all around’ means that the Boundless Sea and the Northernmost Sea also account for 70% of the land here, like the sea area on the earth. The real name of this place is the Heavenly Taoist Site, which was refined by my master. It took him a thousand years to do it.”
Yue Wuwei added flatly, “But my master is not the master of this place. To be precise, the Heavenly Taoist Site has no master yet. But it is about to have one. It can be told easily that who becomes the Heavenly Lord can dominate the whole Cultivation World.”
“What do you mean by the line ‘Where is the lovely girl? Summon her to travel with me.’?” Zhang Han didn’t notice that his voice was a little hoarse.
“Is it true that Zi Yan has much to do with the master Yue Wuwei mentioned?” he thought.
“Ahem, well...”
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Yue Wuwei’s face. “When Zi Yan was pregnant, I always suspected that the baby was my master...”
“Boom!”
Yue Wuwei stopped talking when he noticed that Zi Yan was ready to attack him.
“Let him go on.”
Zhang Han gently held Zi Yan’s hand.
“That’s right. Just listen to me out. Zi Yan, I remember that you have a good temper. How can you be so irritable?” Yue Wuwei grinned and spoke much faster. “That’s what I thought at first, but later I found out that it was Zhang Han’s biological daughter. I didn’t think about anything else. I asked my master’s will about your relationship, but I didn’t get any clear answers. How should I put it? You’re not a couple. You may be a friend, a junior, or a biological daughter of his. I think you’re more likely to be friends, because when he mentioned you in the past, there was nothing special about his tone. This Heavenly Taoist Site seems to be a back garden that he built for you to have fun. It doesn’t matter to him whether you are alive or dead.”
“As for the last line, maybe it is referring to you, Zhang Hanyang.” Yue Wuwei smiled and continued, “My master knows everything, and he is omnipotent.”
“As long as he doesn’t rob me of my wife, he can do whatever he wants.” Zhang Han was a little relieved.
In fact, he acquiesced in Yue Wuwei’s statement.
If Zi Yan was really the wife of an extremely powerful person, he would have no chance and could be killed easily by that man’s remaining will.
“Could it be that the man is Zi Yan’s elder?” he thought.
He touched his forehead.
“No one can separate us.”
Zi Yan was in a better mood. She leaned against Zhang Han’s arm and said, “I won’t leave unless you don’t want me.”
“Then you won’t have a chance.”
Zhang Han gently stroked Zi Yan’s back, then looked at Yue Wuwei and asked, “Your master should be an expert above the ninth-tier of the Tribulation Stage. Could he be a powerful figure who went to the Holy World through the Heaven Road?”
“Don’t address my master that way. Show him more respect and call him master too. You won’t suffer a loss anyway.” Yue Wuwei didn’t feel comfortable. “As for his strength, of course, it’s not something that anyone in this Cultivation World can understand.”
After learning the truth, Zhang Han felt a little stressed.
“What’s the Heavenly Lord?” he asked.
“The Heavenly Lord is the master of this world. I just serve as a housekeeper as well as a ferryman who can take people from the Boundless Sea to the Sea Dragon Star Area,” Yue Wuwei replied, “My master doesn’t exist in this world, but there is his will on the Saint Warrior Planet, which has been sleeping all the time. There are tons of secrets that I don’t know. Maybe someone who becomes the Heavenly Lord can communicate with him once, and he will understand a lot. Zhang Hanyang, don’t think that you are sure to be the Heavenly Lord. It depends on luck. Anyone who vies for that will undergo a great trial on the Lost Continent of the Sea Dragon Star Area, which is a node to the Saint Warrior Planet.”
“Originally, I wanted to wait for some young talents on the Saint Warrior Planet, such as Mu Xue, Ye Longyuan, Shi Fenghou, Yan Chen, Chen Changqing, the Warlord of Chan Clan, An He and some other people. Their cultivation speed is average, but there’s something unique about their bodies, which enables them to absorb the Source Energy. Anyone like that can grow further. I need to gather a total of 100 people. Whoever succeeds will be the Heavenly Lord. It all depends on luck.”
Zhang Han raised his eyebrows and asked, “What’s the benefit of being the Heavenly Lord?”
“The benefits are beyond your imagination.” Yue Wuwei smiled calmly and did not say much.
“Heavenly Lord...”
Zi Yan murmured.
Seeing this, Yue Wuwei became nervous and said, “Zi Yan, you can go to the Lost Continent and participate in the trial too, or you can take your precious daughter with you. With your and Zhang Hanyang’s current strength, safety is not a problem, but you can’t take action anymore. I almost had a heart attack these days. Do you know that every move of yours will dissipate some of the Source Energy, which is the will and energy left by my master? If the seals are gone, the Saint Warrior Planet will be exposed to the public and it will bring about a catastrophe. Although you may not be in trouble, the world is basically going to be destroyed. You really can’t take action anymore. If there is any fool who dares to provoke you, just call me and I will deal with him if Zhang Hanyang can’t beat him.”
From his expression, he seemed really worried.
Zhang Han couldn’t help asking, “With her attack power, she can’t consume too much Source Energy, can she?”
“Do you think there is a lot of Source Energy? It’s non-renewable and can’t stand any more consumption. That’s why I came here,” Yue Wuwei said.
Zhang Mu pondered for a long time before asking, “Where does the whirlpool of the Northernmost Sea connect to? The three Grand Masters in the Yuan Ying Realm of the Kunlun Immortal World were beaten down there.”
“If they can survive a land of fierce beasts, they may appear in the Boundless Sea. There are uncertainties. If they are lucky, they may reach the Sea Dragon Star Area. With their strength, they can reach the Sea Dragon Star Area at best, but they are basically dead,” Yue Wuwei replied.
“When will the trial begin?” Zhang Han asked.
“Soon.” Yue Wuwei touched his chin. “It will be held once every 100 years. This is the ninth time. It should be held ten years later. But when I was maintaining the Lost Continent, what you had done had a big impact on me, so I have to hold the trial in advance. After that, I have to choose the next trial site. No one has succeeded in the first eight times. Only those who have reached the Elixir Realm Last-Stage and the levels above that are qualified. The levels of this batch of people are low, so I can’t gather 100 people. Next, I will give them some benefits.”
