Chapter 739 - 232: These Are Merely Zhi Sui’s Minor Achievements

There’s also Zi Yuan, who is currently meditating.

With a helpless smile, nothing was said, and simply sat down next to her, leaning against Zi Yuan’s back.

The heat emanating from the magic armor made it hard to tell how much of it came from the skin.

Bingtang folded her legs and placed the notebook on her lap, saying:

"What have you been cultivating lately?"

"Complete fasting achieved."

"Still fasting, huh..."

Bingtang opened her notebook, "Jin Cha said that those Dream Incubators you defeated are traitors among the Hatchers. They incited some Magical Girls to attack the headquarters, trying to destroy the Heart Image Trial..."

"Yes, I know." Zi Yuan said indifferently, "They cooperated with the Witch Association, so technically they stood on the Witch Association’s side?"

"Yes, the gray-white Magical Girls that attacked us before." Bingtang sighed softly, "Including the ones who tried to stop you from returning near the Heart Image Remains in Anyang, all were orchestrated by the Dream Incubators."

"They sure rinsed their hand of this cleanly." Zi Yuan sneered, "Just as expected of those cunning Upper Cultivators."

"The Sect Leader is wise."

Bingtang continued:

"They said the fundamental logic of Hatchers is ultimately to help Magical Girls, and that they act out of love for the world. Before connecting to the cluster, it’s normal for some Hatchers’ actions to deviate, because if a Magical Girl falls, some Hatchers are easily corrupted. It’s mainly because the Magical Girls they helped had issues, leading them to become enemies."

"Not necessarily." Zi Yuan looked unsurprised, "The Dream Incubators might actually be right."

"And yet you killed them?"

"They aren’t human."

"True." Bingtang again turned the laptop around to show some content to the Sect Leader, "Some Dream Incubators have connections with the Old World, and southern China’s Dream Marrow also seems related to them. Dream Incubators have some authority from the Disaster Strategy Bureau and the Magic Realm, yet they aren’t part of the Hatcher cluster, causing numerous troubles. It’s said the Magic Realm’s blockade also involves the Dream Incubators..."

Zi Yuan glanced at it, Prince Mirror Country’s content was very prominent, but there wasn’t much regarding relations between the Prince and the Dream Incubators.

However, she did see connections between the Black Mountain Realm and the Dream Incubators.

No wonder Jade Fox knew how to use the Dream Marrow.

The Prince of Mirror Country thought he had control over the Old World, but lacked understanding of the Dream Incubators.

At the very least, Zi Yuan hadn’t heard her mention anything about the Dream Incubators.

"This is also the main reason why the Magic Realm agreed to cooperate with the Disaster Strategy Bureau and us," Bingtang chuckled, "They hope to use Cyan Cloud Sect’s strength to deal with those Dream Incubators. The Disaster Strategy Bureau and Magic Realm can’t handle them, but Cyan Cloud Sect is different."

"What kind of place is the Magic Realm?"

"I don’t know. Jin Cha said because of the blockade, no one knows where the Magic Realm is anymore. They only know that retired Magical Girls’ Hatchers bring their powers back to the Magic Realm and give them appropriate titles and rewards."

Bingtang said softly, "However, back then Miss Cui Que was stripped of her Miracle Seed but didn’t receive the corresponding title and reward. The Magic Realm brushed her off, even giving her a failure’s evaluation, leading to much dissatisfaction among Magical Girls in the Disaster Strategy Bureau."

"I heard most of the Disaster Strategy Bureau were once Miss Cui Que’s followers, causing quite a stir. Although Jin Cha handled it fairly well in the end, it still left a lot of hidden dangers."

Shaking her head, Bingtang said absentmindedly:

"This time’s attackers included many former supporters of Miss Cui Que, who want to seek justice from the Magic Realm. Anyway, their Disaster Strategy Bureau’s matters are quite complicated; we should stay out of it and let Jin Cha worry about it herself."

Zi Yuan quietly listened, not saying anything.

"Yet, because you, Sect Leader, helped deal with the Dream Incubators, Miss Jin Cha reapplied for slots in the Heart Image Domain Trial and is willing to add an extra trial slot for us."

"That authority is also within the Magic Realm?"

"Yes." Bingtang shrugged, her nape nestled against Zi Yuan’s, a mingling of cold and hot like melting, "The Disaster Strategy Bureau seems more like a department under the Magic Realm, recruited externally after all..."

"Hm, a department?" Zi Yuan sneered, "I don’t think so."

Bingtang picked a small tuft of purple hair and twirled it around her finger, "What does the Sect Master say?"

"Able to conduct Heart Image Trials, this Magic Realm looks sealed off yet acts like it’s choosing to stay hidden."

Zi Yuan gazed coldly into the void, "Hiddenness of the Golden Core, obscurity of the Fruit Position, great tribulation of the heavens, calamity running rampant, these all are merely trivial achievements from Zhi Sui’s end..."

"I see." Bingtang rubbed the purple strands, "Hidden yet paying attention to the mundane, occasionally handing down benefits, up high while taking lower cultivators’ power, this kind of action is either due to great terror causing retreat or an enormous conspiracy behind the scenes. Our sect’s ancestors’ tradition, shooting arrows then drawing targets; they must be planning something."

Satisfied, she released the hair, "Truly worthy of Sect Master. Seeing it this way, the Disaster Strategy Bureau barely counts as the Outer Sect in the Magic Realm, more like a lower sect."

Feels even more fragile than imagined.

"Oh, by the way, Qianzhen Cao’s been crying to me, asking not to be kicked out of the sect, admitting her mistakes, hoping you’ll be magnanimous and not hold a grudge."

"Oh."

Zi Yuan forgot what Qianzhen Cao said.

Feels the greatest offense was babbling about Harry Potter in front of her.

"Also, the restoration patent belongs to Harry Potter, not a lifetime of cultivation immortality; that’s the only thing she won’t concede."

"Let her leave."

"Ah." Bingtang lightly bumped the Sect Master’s head with the back of hers, "Don’t be like that, Qianzhen Cao’s developed abilities are very useful. Plus, currently, she’s the only one in the sect who knows Divine Sense, and losing her would increase Disaster Strategy Bureau’s threat to Cyan Cloud Sect..."

Zi Yuan snorted coldly, "My lifetime of cultivation and her restoration patent are different. I use mine, she uses hers."

Hearing the Sect Leader concede a step, Bingtang sighed in relief, intimately rubbing her smooth nape, "Mhm, different, different. I’ll tell her that later, and she’ll surely understand."

If she understood, she wouldn’t have watched Harry Potter.

Using Harry Potter to name our cultivation realm’s moves is like robbing copyrights, similar to some other country?

However, since Bingtang said so, she certainly has to give her some face.

For now, I’ll let this brat slide...

Zi Yuan suddenly remembered something, asking: "Speaking of which, during my battle, which disciple could instantly see through my moves and explain them to lower cultivators?"

Far stronger than Qianzhen Cao, that’s what she wants in True Inheritance.

"Oh, those two, once challenged Qianzhen Cao."

Bingtang, almost without thinking, guessed the Sect Leader’s thoughts and laughed, "In both realm and magic, they fall short. Sect Leader might as well look forward to the disciple who Qianzhen Cao once displaced."

Zi Yuan remained silent.

After all, losing means losing; even if Sect Leader Zi Yuan casts her gaze, she can’t force a disciple who lost to Qianzhen Cao into True Inheritance.

Wouldn’t that turn Cyan Cloud Sect’s rules into a joke?

"Insufficient strength, life’s fate outweighed by Divine Skills, luck arrives yet unable to grasp," Zi Yuan sighed, "That’s the cultivation realm’s harshness."

Then casually commanded, "Once their strength is sufficient, arrange an Honorary True Inheritance assessment."

Bingtang responded affirmatively.

"Oh, right, almost forgot the most important matter."

Bingtang turned around, placing her chin on Zi Yuan’s shoulder, snowflake-like pupils sparkling as she gazed at Zi Yuan’s perfectly exquisite face:

"Among our Seven True Inheritance, who will participate in the Heart Image Domain Trial?"
