King of Creation Chapter 1851 - 1836: The Blood Remains Unchilled

Small Communication Transfer Formations always come in paired sets; they can be used to communicate over long distances, but the communication still relies on the Transfer function to work.

You can transfer letters and Jade Scrolls back and forth to achieve the purpose of keeping in touch.

Now, however, Ye Zhen’s Small Communication Transfer Formation can’t connect to the one over in North Sea County, which leaves only one possibility—space has been locked.

Because the Small Transfer Formation on the North Sea County side is under constant watch by dedicated personnel; they might not be able to contact Ye Zhen immediately, but Ye Zhen can absolutely reach them anytime, anywhere.

At the same time, to carry out this kind of spatial lockdown doesn’t mean that Xuan Sheng and the others are sealing the space of the entire Primordial Continent.

On that point, even if they possess an Innate Spiritual Treasure, they still couldn’t pull it off.

And if they really did that, it would trigger a world-shaking upheaval.

As long as they seal the space within tens of millions of li around the Yizhi Sand Sea, they can achieve this effect.

Outside the Yizhi Sand Sea, everything remains normal.

Since even Small Communication Transfer Formations can’t be used, then the Two-World Passage to the Demon Soul Realm definitely won’t work either.

Fortunately, Ye Zhen’s side and North Sea County are not limited to just one means of contact.

Ye Zhen still has several sets of Mother-child Magic Conches in hand.

The communication of the Mother-child Magic Conch is a supremely mysterious and Mysterious Bloodline-and-bone resonance, unrelated to Spatial Teleportation.

Very quickly, when Ye Zhen’s Mother-child Magic Conch lit up, Gu Tieqi’s voice came through.

"Everything normal over there?"

"My lord, everything here is normal, and the affairs of the Marquis Haiyuan Kingdom have also gotten on the right track. The West Patrol over there hasn’t come looking for trouble either," Gu Tieqi replied.

"Mm, that’s good. I’m dealing with some matters outside right now, and it may take me some time to return. Also, for certain reasons, the Small Communication Transfer Formation can no longer reach me. If anything happens, contact me directly with the Mother-child Magic Conch," Ye Zhen said.

Hearing this, Gu Tieqi’s tone tightened. "My lord, have you encountered danger? Do you need me to send men over?"

"No need, just watch over things at home. This bit of trouble doesn’t really count as anything yet." Ye Zhen let out a cold laugh.

Half a Quarter-hour later, after giving instructions to Black Wolf and Wen Fuguo, who were sitting in town at the Market of Dulong Island and the Three Great Water Palaces, Ye Zhen took out another Mother-child Magic Conch, his expression slightly hesitant.

After carefully pondering for a few breaths, the image of the little cat and the Nine-Headed Beast devouring the fleshly body of that Heavenly Temple Great Divine Master Nuolu flashed through Ye Zhen’s mind.

"Have I gone numb?"

"No."

"In my eyes, besides enemies and allies, there is still right and wrong, and there is still loyalty and conscience."

With that self-answer, Ye Zhen resolutely activated the Mother-child Magic Conch before him. After waiting for Half a Quarter-hour, the conch finally lit up.

"You little brat, what trouble have you gone and stirred up now? Vanishing for over a year—what, you suddenly remembered to look for this old man today? Don’t tell me you’ve caused more trouble and need this old man to clean up your mess?" The voice of Chief Eunuch Yu Chao’en of the Imperial Palace of Great Zhou rang out.

"Listen to yourself, Chief Yu. It’s not like every time I look for you I’m dumping trouble on you," Ye Zhen said with a laugh.

"Isn’t that exactly the case? Think about it yourself."

"At least this time, it shouldn’t count." Ye Zhen rubbed his nose, feeling his face heat up a little.

"Oh? What is it, speak and let me hear." Yu Chaoen’s voice was relaxed; he sounded in quite a good mood.

"I discovered something rather strange, related to the various Divine Monarchs and Divine Kings of the Heavenly Temple," Ye Zhen said.

The moment Ye Zhen finished speaking, Yu Chaoen’s tone turned low and rapid. "Matters related to the Divine Monarchs and Divine Kings of the Heavenly Temple—are you sure this isn’t just hearsay?"

"A Half-step Creation Realm expert named Xuan Sheng said it himself. Moreover, Xuan Sheng is currently running around on account of this very matter," Ye Zhen said.

"What? That old undying Xuan Sheng has come out again? Are you sure it’s him?"

"You can say I practically saw it with my own eyes. The Three-eyed Demon Clan’s Second Elder, Jii Gongyue of the Demon Clan, had half his body smashed apart by a single palm from him."

As soon as Ye Zhen finished this sentence, Yu Chaoen’s voice became incomparably grave. "All right, this is extremely important. Right now, record every detail of this matter into a Divine Record—location, battle process, numbers involved—add Sealing and restrictions, and immediately send it over via the Small Communication Transfer Formation. Remember, you mustn’t leave out a single detail."

"I’m afraid that’s not possible." Ye Zhen gave a wry smile.

"What do you mean?" Yu Chaoen’s voice instantly jumped up by eight degrees.

"Xuan Sheng and his lot used the Innate Spiritual Treasure Heavenly Domain All-Sky Divine Mirror to seal off this region of space. The only way I can contact the outside world is through the Mother-child Magic Conch," Ye Zhen said.

"They actually used the Innate Spiritual Treasure Heavenly Domain All-Sky Divine Mirror?" Yu Chaoen sucked in a sharp breath. "Say, you little brat, you know so much and in such detail—don’t tell me that old undying Xuan Sheng is actually chasing you down?"

"You really are wise and venerable."

At that, Yu Chaoen sucked in another sharp breath.

"You kid really knows how to surprise this old man! So, do you want this old man to lend a hand? This will make the second favor you owe me."

"I don’t need your help for now, Grand Steward. I can handle it. I just feel this information is of great importance and wanted to pass it on to you," Ye Zhen said.

"Fine, wait a moment. This old man will swap with someone else to attend on His Majesty."

A few breaths later, Yu Chaoen’s voice sounded again. "Go ahead, speak, and be as detailed as possible."

After that, Ye Zhen recounted, down to the last detail, all the information he’d heard regarding the Heavenly Temple’s various Divine Monarchs and Divine Kings preparing a plan that had been in the works for tens of thousands of years, as well as the Heavenly Temple’s relentless pursuit of the Five Seed Pomegranate, explaining each circumstance one by one.

As for how Ye Zhen dodged the pursuit and escaped with his life, he used some "Spring and Autumn brushwork" in his account, and Yu Chaoen was no fool.

He knew that what Ye Zhen hadn’t said was definitely a secret he meant to keep, so he didn’t press further.

After listening, Yu Chaoen’s tone became incomparably grave. "This piece of intelligence is very important. The matter it touches on is extremely complicated. If handled poorly, it could plunge the world into upheaval.

Aside from this old man, you haven’t told anyone else about this, have you?"

"No, I only contacted you, old sir."

"Good. Then don’t tell anyone else about this matter..." Mid‑sentence, Yu Chaoen’s voice suddenly paused. "Do you happen to owe the Grand Celestial Official Wu Yu a favor?"

"Mm, why?"

"Tell him about this, but remember one thing: do not say that you’ve already told this old man. Understand?" Yu Chaoen instructed.

"Understood."

"Mm. Right, you’re trapped in the Yizhi Sand Sea—do you truly not need this old man’s help?" Yu Chaoen asked again.

"Not for now. Unless it comes to a last resort, I don’t want to rely on others. I definitely don’t want to expose my identity directly before the Heavenly Temple." Ye Zhen said.

"Looks like you, kid, are sly as a monkey! Remember, if you really can’t hold out anymore, notify this old man at once." Yu Chaoen exhorted.

"I’ll remember."

Half a quarter-hour later, Ye Zhen informed Grand Celestial Official Wu Yu of this critical piece of intelligence as well.

The latter’s reaction was even stronger than Yu Chaoen’s.

"Ye Zhen, if possible, if you have the chance, I hope you can further investigate the details of this intelligence and clarify them. If you can get to the bottom of it, I don’t dare guarantee a king’s or duke’s title for you, but a First-GradeMarquis would be no problem."

After he finished, Grand Celestial Official Wu Yu felt that sounded a bit too indifferent. "Of course, this is under the premise that you can ensure your own safety. This is not an order."

"I understand!"

"As for you being trapped in the Yizhi Sand Sea, if you need me to help you break out, inform me as early as possible. I can dispatch the Void Hunting King to go pick you up." Grand Celestial Official Wu Yu said.

"Many thanks for your kindness, Grand Celestial Official. If I need it, I’ll come to you." Ye Zhen said.

....

After finishing all this and putting away the Mother-child Magic Conch, Ye Zhen let out a long breath, a sense of lightness rising in his heart.

Reporting this matter to the highest person in charge of the Official Intelligence Agency of Great Zhou—whether that was right or wrong, Ye Zhen himself didn’t know. What plans the Heavenly Temple had, what schemes, what sort of upheaval it might trigger, Ye Zhen also didn’t know.

However, no matter what, after going through such an incident, Ye Zhen did not coldly look the other way.

That made Ye Zhen feel that he was a living, breathing person.

His blood... was not yet cold!

....

Once the feeling of relief from the burden lifting off his heart passed, Ye Zhen began to consider one matter.

How to break out of this predicament.

Ye Zhen’s earlier refusal of the help from Chief Eunuch Yu Chao’en and Heavenly Patrol Chief Wu Yu was the result of careful deliberation, not a fit of temper.

The Heavenly Temple’s power was laid out right there. Never mind those Divine Monarchs and Divine Kings cultivating in seclusion behind the scenes—just the power they mobilized over these past few days filled Ye Zhen with deep dread.

A Half-step Creation Realm Xuan Sheng, six Mid Dao Realm Grand Divine Masters—this level of strength, to Ye Zhen, was enough to utterly crush and annihilate him.

Once they discovered Ye Zhen’s true identity, given the Heavenly Temple’s temperament, everything related to Ye Zhen would become a target for them to strike.

North Sea County, the Market of Dulong Island, his relatives and subordinates, and so on.

If Ye Zhen leveraged the strength of Yu Chaoen and Wu Yu to escape, then his identity would have a chance of being exposed.

Ye Zhen absolutely did not want to become a primary target of the Heavenly Temple at this point.

Right now, with the Temporal Sequence Space within the Mirage Dragon Pearl, Ye Zhen’s own strength and the power under his command were in a phase of rapid growth.

As long as he was given a bit more time to develop, even if he still couldn’t contend with the Heavenly Temple in the future, protecting himself would be no problem.

This was the true reason Ye Zhen refused Yu Chaoen’s and Wu Yu’s help.

At present, for Ye Zhen to leave the Yizhi Sand Sea and return to Sha State, one of the Border Provinces of Great Zhou, taking the route through the sky was impossible.

With the Innate Spiritual Treasure Heavenly Domain All-Sky Divine Mirror present, if Ye Zhen dared to leave by air, that would be courting death.

The underground route had originally been an option as well, but previously the Chief Eunuch had specially reminded Ye Zhen of one thing.

The Innate Spiritual Treasure Heavenly Domain All-Sky Divine Mirror’s surveillance over All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds was all-encompassing.

Whether you were on the surface, underground, or underwater, you would still be reflected in the Heavenly Domain All-Sky Divine Mirror.

So Yu Chaoen reminded Ye Zhen that, if he wanted to avoid the Innate Spiritual Treasure Heavenly Domain All-Sky Divine Mirror detecting anything abnormal, the best method was to blend into places with lots of people.

If you were moving alone at high speed underground, the odds of being discovered would be very high.

Approaching populated areas and Sha Clan gathering grounds would be the first step for Ye Zhen to break out of his predicament.
