Martial God Asura

Chapter 6581: Jie Tianran’s Secret

The Seven Realms Sacred Mansion had seven valleys named after the Seven Spirit Worlds. These valleys harnessed energies that corresponded to the Spirit World they were named after, and world spirits could benefit from cultivating there.

These seven valleys were from the Ancestral Martial Spiritist Sect, but after they left for the Ninth Galaxy, the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion took control of them. For their convenience, the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion moved the seven valleys into their base.

Despite being named as valleys, they were humongous. The largest Asura Valley was even considerably larger than the Lower Ancestral Martial Realm. It had taken quite some time back then for the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion to move the seven valleys into their base.

Jie Tianran made his way to the center of the Asura Valley, where a dignified old woman stood. She was Chu Feng’s grandmother, Jie Nianqing.

“Congratulations, Nianqing,” Jie Tianran said with a smile. It was rare to see such a fawning expression on his face.

In contrast, Jie Nianqing’s attitude was much colder. “Congratulations? For what?”

“I heard that the Divine Inheritance Ground’s cultivation ground has opened. The rumors must be true, considering how you are no weaker than me now,” Jie Tianran remarked.

Jie Nianqing had made no attempt to conceal her strength as a rank five Heavenly Dragon World Spiritist.

“I was able to make quick progress because of the extraordinary nature of the Divine Inheritance Ground. I stumbled upon a fortuitous encounter that even the Ancestral Martial Spiritist Sect has failed to obtain.

“Rather, I’m intrigued by how you reached rank five Heavenly Dragon in such a short time without the aid of the Divine Inheritance Ground, Mansion Master. You are an unfathomable figure, aren’t you?” Jie Nianqing remarked.

“You seem unhappy, Nianqing,” Jie Tianran said.

As they were a couple, Jie Nianqing wouldn’t address Jie Tianran as ‘Mansion Master’ in private, unless she was angry.

“Mansion Master, I have a question to ask you,” Jie Nianqing said.

“Feel free to pose your question, Nianqing,” Jie Tianran replied.

“I have heard rumors that Chu Feng is Ranqing’s child, and he has displayed extraordinary talents that have never been seen in the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion. Yet, you refuse to acknowledge him as your grandson. Instead, you declare that you have crippled Ranqing and are planning to plunder Chu Feng’s Ruler’s Bloodline. Is this true?” Jie Nianqing asked.

“Ranqing is my daughter. I’d never hurt her. She has merely entered the Ninth Galaxy. As for Chu Feng, his very existence is a bane to Ranqing. He hinders her future. I have to reclaim his bloodline to help her fulfill her potential,” Jie Tianran replied.

“In other words, the rumors that you are hunting down your grandson is true,” Jie Nianqing asked.

“He’s not worthy of the Ruler’s Bloodline. He is an obstacle to our Ranqing. I’ll be frank with you. I have divined the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion’s future, and we’ll face a huge calamity in the future. The only one who can stop the calamity is Ranqing.

“Ranqing possesses the purest Ruler’s Bloodline in the world. That’s why she cannot wed anyone, or else it’ll sully her bloodline. The very fact that Chu Feng possesses a strong Ruler’s Bloodline shows that he has siphoned power away from Ranqing.

“If I don’t reclaim his Ruler’s Bloodline and return it to Ranqing, she won’t be able to grow strong enough to protect our Seven Realms Sacred Mansion,” Jie Tianran declared.

Jie Nianqing looked shocked as if she had heard utter nonsense. “Jie Tianran, what rubbish are you spouting? This is the first time I have heard that someone with a strong bloodline shouldn’t wed and bear a child.”

“It doesn’t matter for normal bloodlines, but our Ranqing is different. She possesses the strongest world spiritist bloodline, the unparalleled Ruler’s Bloodline! She’s destined to be different from the masses,” Jie Tianran declared.

“If you believed that, why did you betroth her to Jie Mubai in the first place?” Jie Nianqing asked.

“Jie Mubai? Hmph... It’s not just Ranqing who looks down on him; I feel the same way as well. He might possess some talent, but the likes of him can’t possibly be worthy of our Ranqing. I’m merely placating him because he still has some use to me.”

“Is what you have just said true?”

“Nianqing, I wouldn’t lie to you. This is my greatest secret, and I have only told Ranqing about it. However, she didn’t believe me either.”

“Are you out of your mind? You have always been skeptical about divinations! How can you dictate what’s right and wrong for Ranqing over a mere divination?” Jie Nianqing could hardly believe what she was hearing.

“It is no ordinary divination,” Jie Tianran replied.

Jie Nianqing suddenly recalled something, and her face turned grim. “It’s the Immemorial Divination Art. Your master was planning to impart it to Daoist Starseizer, but it suddenly went missing. You took it.”

“That’s right.” Jie Tianran nodded.

“You used the Immemorial Divination Art’s forbidden skill to craft a prophecy about Ranqing and the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion?” Jie Nianqing asked.

“That’s right.” Jie Tianran nodded.

JIe Nianqing’s body trembled, and her breathing hastened. She looked conflicted as if she was making a difficult decision. In the end, she hardened her heart and asked the question that she had been wanting to know the answer to but dared not ask.

“Were you behind the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion’s tragedy back then?”

A tragedy had struck the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion many years ago.

Tens of thousands of households were massacred, but all of these households had a common trait—they had an infant who was less than a year old.

Jie Tianran replied without missing a beat, “That’s right.”
