Loyal Heart Roaming the Skies

Chapter 119: Heart lost

"You were sleeping at home all night and didn't go anywhere. You decided to monitor Fang Heling tomorrow night and observe if there is anything unusual about him..."

Jiang Wang felt like he was immersed in warm water, with white petals covering the surface of the water.

A gentle voice drifted from the sky, making him feel comfortable, wanting to sleep forever.

In this infinitely warm world, he let go of all defenses, all responsibilities, all confusion, and everything that made him uneasy.

"I should listen to this voice," he thought.

Just as everything was about to end, a lotus bud emerged from the endless water surface, peeking out from between the petals.

It grew taller and taller until it was parallel to Jiang Wang's line of sight.

The lotus flower bloomed, with a black candle standing in the center.

Boom!

The black flame instantly ignited, engulfing the entire sea of petals!

Endless waves of flames swept everything away.

"Phew!"

Jiang Wang woke up.

He found himself lying in his home in Feima Alley, and he could also feel Jiang An'an's steady breathing.

He realized that the memory seal had been completed, and he had been sent back to his residence by the White Lotus.

However, he remembered everything, he didn't forget anything.

No, not only did he not forget what happened on Niutou Mountain, but he also gained some additional memories.

It was a secret technique, the Bone Escape Technique.

The principle was to please the underworld with lifespan and temporarily gain the ability to travel between the Yin and Yang realms.

Similar to when he obtained the Flesh Rebirth Technique, the black candle in the Tongtian Palace had visibly shortened.

"Am I a disciple of the Bone Path? Am I a disciple of the Bone Path?"

Jiang Wang looked at his hands, feeling a bit dazed.

However, the newly acquired strange escape technique undoubtedly confirmed the words of the White Lotus.

"My memory hasn't been sealed. Based on what the White Lotus said, does it mean that... I'm starting to 'awaken'?"

"Fang Heling has undoubtedly made a connection with the Bone Path. The Bone Path probably has some ulterior motives in Maple Forest City, perhaps for revenge for Wei Quji's previous killings, or maybe something else. But even if I confess this to the authorities now, it won't have much effect. The White Lotus said they will transfer tonight at the latest. At most, I can only catch Fang Heling. And if they find out that I am a disciple of the Bone Path... I will undoubtedly die."

Jiang Wang tried to console himself.

"The current situation is that neither the Daoist Academy nor the Criminal Investigation Department suspect me. The White Lotus thinks my memory has been sealed and is very reassured about me. But I haven't lost my memory. So my best choice is to immediately take Lao Da and the others, take An'an and escape, wait until the dust settles in Maple Forest City, and then decide whether to come back based on the situation..."

"No, Lao Da won't leave if he knows the truth. Xiao Wu probably doesn't care. An'an... Does An'an want to leave her hometown? Can she bear the hardships of being displaced?"

"Maple Forest City... Fengxi Town... Xiaolin Town..."

Jiang Wang's previously calm Dao Heart was completely in chaos, the more he thought, the more troubled he became.

He simply lay down and sank into the Illusory Realm.

...

The Eighth Grade Sword Platform has been unsealed.

Dugu Wudi is currently not in the top one hundred before entering the Circulating Realm, so his ranking is not displayed.

Matching for the Circulating Realm...

Match successful!

...

Defeated!

Defeated!

Defeated!

After losing three consecutive matches, Jiang Wang finally calmed down a bit.

Battle is something that requires full concentration. In this state of focus, one can ignore everything else and temporarily set aside those troubles.

But after everything is over, one still has to face them.

Activating the Eighth Grade Sword Platform now requires twenty points of power, and losing a battle will deduct another twenty.

Jiang Wang looked at the remaining 2680 points of power and fell into a daze for a while before deciding to leave.

Flap, flap, flap.

A chubby paper crane fluttered over.

Naturally, it was a letter from Zhen Wudi: Brother Dugu, I have also reached perfection and officially entered the Circulating Realm. I am about to achieve the Great Circulating Realm! How about practicing with me?

For cultivators like Zhen Wudi with such a strong background, lingering in the Meridian Realm before was not because of insufficient accumulation. It was because he had been waiting for the perfect structure of his Circulating Realm.

Those families often have experts who specialize in devising the most suitable advancement route for them based on their accumulated experience and real-time feedback.

So when his small Circulating Realm was just completed, he said that the Great Circulating Realm would be completed soon, and it wasn't all talk. Because his path had already been paved, and it was a smooth path to the heavens.

Jiang Wang didn't plan to reply, and he didn't have the intention to fight another battle.

But after thinking about it, he chose to spend ten points of power and entered the Star River Space.

It was still a pavilion in a starry river.

Just as Jiang Wang arrived, Zhen Wudi's plump figure appeared on the opposite side.

"What's up? It's rare for you to take the initiative to chat with me, and you're so extravagant?" Zhen Wudi looked around and marveled.

Now the two of them have become quite familiar, mainly thanks to Zhen Wudi's "talkative" nature. He would send a paper crane to chat with Jiang Wang whether there was something or not.

Once Jiang Wang replied, he couldn't stop the twenty back and forth.

He is also Jiang Wang's only acquaintance in the Illusory Realm, or he can be considered a friend.Because he was in a place like the Illusory Void, and Jiang Wang had never revealed his real identity. In fact, he suspected that even if he did, Zhen Wudi wouldn't know where Fenglin City was.

Because he was here, Jiang Wang didn't need to be so nervous.

He pondered over his words and asked, "Do you know about the Respected God of Bones?"

"What god?"

"That is, probably... a deity worshipped by a sect called the Way of Bones."

"What nonsense is this?" Zhen Wudi shook his head, disdainfully said, "A heretical cult?"

"Perhaps."

"Let me tell you, Brother Dugu, don't get involved with these messy heretical cults. The reason why these side paths and heterodoxies are what they are is because they have been eliminated. There are so many orthodox schools, why not study them?" Zhen Wudi advised seriously, "If you encounter any problems and want to quickly improve your strength, it's better to participate in the Secret Realm of Heavenly Mansion! I have two team slots and am looking for people, how about it, want to give it a try? Although there is a certain risk, it's more reliable than a heretical god."

Anything that Zhen Wudi seriously mentioned must not be a trivial matter. The so-called slots for the Secret Realm of Heavenly Mansion must also be very precious.

The reason he didn't explain in detail was probably because the Secret Realm of Heavenly Mansion was very famous in itself. He thought Jiang Wang knew.

Although this fat man was a bit exaggerated and talkative, he was not a bad person. This was also the reason why Jiang Wang had been keeping in touch with him.

But now, Jiang Wang really couldn't be distracted.

"Let's talk about it next time."

He forced a smile, "I have something else to do, I'll go first."

Without waiting for Zhen Wudi to retain him, he exited the Illusory Void.

Sometimes, Jiang Wang felt that the Illusory Void was like a dream.

After waking up from the dream, everything might become nothing.

He might have ended up like those beggars outside the Zhenzhen Observatory, already buried in the yellow earth.

Or he might have sunk in the small river in Fengxi Town, not being saved by anyone.

What is cultivation for?

Is it to live longer, or to live a more meaningful life?

...

The room was very quiet, and Jiang Wang could hear the fine, even breathing of Jiang An'an.

This sound made him feel at ease.

Jiang Wang knew that he had to make a decision before dawn.
