Upgrade Specialist in Another World

A strange expression appeared on Jing Mingfeng’s face when he saw Bai Yunfei’s expression. “So you guys know about the Supreme Saint’s Inheritance too…yeah, I know about Hidden Dragon Valley and the Supreme Saint’s Inheritance inside of it. I learned about it from the Wind Saint’s inheritance. Ol’Bai…how did you guys find out?”

“The Wind Saint’s inheritance talked about the Supreme Saint’s Inheritance? We learned it from the recorded information of a senior from the Fate School…”

It was everyone’s presumption that they were the only ones to know about the Supreme Saint’s Inheritance. Who knew that Jing Mingfeng would actually know about it too?

“Ye Feixuan knew about Hidden Dragon Valley? Did he go there too?!”

“Ah, yeah. He came to the Dragon’s Ascent Mountains two hundred years ago so he could breakthrough. He found out about the pocket dimension in Hidden Dragon Valley a hundred years ago and learned about the Supreme Saint’s Inheritance after that. It was a lot more dangerous than he expected and so he was forced to retreat after getting injured. But while he was recovering, a class nine wildbeast attacked him and made his injury even worse. The last of his lifespan was spent trying to recuperate before he passed away…”

“I see…” Everyone nodded at his explanation.

So it wasn’t just the Dragon Saint King and the Faint of Sate. Even the Wind Saint traveled to the Supreme Saint’s pocket dimension. 

But he was luckier than the others, at least. He at least was able to make it out from the pocket dimension. 

Perhaps it was because he didn’t go as deep into it as the other two Saints… 

The Saint of Fate had it recorded in his Rune that an extremely powerful array was the reason why he was unable to escape. The Wind Saint must not have come across that array.

“If you’re here, that must mean…you’re trying to head to Hidden Dragon Valley too, right? Are you planning to enter that pocket dimension?”

“Not even I can ignore the Supreme Saint’s Inheritance’s allure,” Jing Mingfeng smiled bitterly, “But I’m well aware of my lot in life. I doubt I’ll be able to go there for now…I did actually try to go there when I first learned about it. My thoughts at the time was to become a Late-stage Soul Emperor before I attempted it for real. The Wind Saint was nice enough to leave behind a plethora of information about it. I guess if I’m lucky, I might be able to get the Supreme Saint’s Inheritance…”

Bai Yunfei nodded. “There’s no need to wait until you’re a Late-stage Soul Emperor, why not come with us?”

He turned to Shen Pojun for confirmation, “Can he, ancestor?”

Shen Pojun smiled and nodded. “Of course. If little Jing shares his information and we ours, it will make our lives easier when we enter the pocket dimension.”

“Really? I can come with you guys?” Jing Mingfeng looked excited, “That’s great!! I won’t have to be afraid of the trapped Saint in there then!”

“What?”

“Did you say...a Saint’s trapped inside the pocket dimension?!” Shen Pojun repeated for clarification.

“Yes.” Jing Mingfeng nodded, “You didn’t know?”

“We…” Bai Yunfei suddenly felt like this was an extremely important bit of information to learn, “Of course we don’t! You better explain that right now, Mingfeng!”

“According to the information I have, there’s a pretty powerful array at the center of the dimension. The Wind Saint didn’t pass it, but he felt the presence of another Saint in it. The Saint looked like they were trying their best to escape, but the array was more powerful than they expected. It was actually because he saw the trapped Saint that the Wind Saint decided to leave…It’s been a hundred years, so I wonder if that Saint’s alive or not—that’s actually one of the reasons why I didn’t want to go. I feel like I won’t be becoming a Late-stage Soul Emperor for at least a dozen years. What if I become like that Saint and die in there…”

“I see…”

Shen Pojun and the Frostfeather Saint narrowed their eyes with suspicion.

The Saint of Fate didn’t have any information regarding that trapped Saint, meaning this second Saint most likely came after the Saint of Fate transpired. How else would it be possible for a Saint to not be aware of someone else alive in that pocket dimension?

It wasn’t very good news since that meant they’d probably have to battle with this Saint if they wanted the Supreme Saint’s Inheritance. And what if that trapped Saint was a Mid-stage Soul Saint? It’d be extremely hard for them to predict what might happen next then… 

The arrays in the pocket dimension were annoying enough. To have another Saint ‘competitor’ be alive there though? It was something considerably daunting for Bai Yunfei’s group.

“I think…” Li Chengfeng was the first to speak, “we should first divine and see if that person is alive or not…”

“Oh! Right! Please do that first, Chengfeng!”

Jing Mingfeng didn’t expect such a sentence to be said. Befuddled as Li Chengfeng went through several handseals, Jing Mingfeng watched with great curiosity as the atmosphere around them suddenly changed.

Several seconds later and everyone watched as Li Chengfeng’s eyebrows lock together… 

“It’s no use…I can’t divine a thing…” Li Chengfeng sighed, “Yunfei, I’m going to use the +12 additional effect of the Heart Compass!”

He redid the handseals, but this time, all of the soulforce within him suddenly vanished!

“Hey…” Eyes still wide-open, Jing Mingfeng leaned in to whisper to Bai Yunfei, “Ol’Bai, what’s brother Li doing?”

“Shhh…” Bai Yunfei whispered back, “Did you forget me saying that Li Chengfeng is from the Fate School? He’s trying to divine if that Saint is alive or not, so we just need to wait…”

……

Some time later when a considerable amount of Li Chengfeng’s soulforce was recovered, the man suddenly paled in the face, though his eyes regained its previous glimmer.

Making another handseal with his hands, Li Chengfeng immediately surrendered himself to the visions being offered to him by the Heart Compass!!

It was blurry for a moment, but then the vision cleared up to reveal a tremendous battle. There were a few recognizable figures, such as Shen Pojun, the Frostfeather Saint, Bai Yunfei, and then also… 

“It’s him!!!”

Li Chengfeng suddenly let out a cry of shock. “It worked!”

Shen Pojun and the others grew excited at his shout, but Bai Yunfei was worried. The vision didn’t show the person. “Did you see it? Who’s him? What do you mean?”

Li Chengfeng let out a loud gasp, “The Saint trapped in the pocket dimension, it’s…Gu Lianhun! It’s definitely Gu Lianhun!”

“What?!”

“You…Gu Lianhun?!” Bai Yunfei asked again.

“It’s him!” Li Chengfeng nodded, “I can foresee a huge battle…our opponent is definitely Gu Lianhun!”

“Gu Lianhun’s real body?” Shen Pojun muttered, “Yes…it makes sense. It’s no wonder he disappeared for two hundred years then—he was trapped like the Saint of Fate! And it’s wonder the Soul Refining School knows about the Supreme Saint’s Inheritance then, he managed to tell them about it! That’s why he had the avatar run away! I thought it was to save his own life, but perhaps not! Perhaps it used the last of its energy to lend a hand to Gu Jimie! Gu Lianhun would definitely be able to tell if his avatar died or not! It’s possible he’s related to why the Saint of Fate’s Rune came back!”

Shen Pojun’s explanation cleared up the questions many people had and made several things clear at once.

“Gu Lianhun…we can’t avoid fighting him if we go into the pocket dimension. Then in that case…”

Shen Pojun’s eyes narrowed with a gleam of killing intent!

They all didn’t know how to deal with the trapped Saint since they didn’t know who it was. It was possible the Saint might’ve been a friend or foe, but they had an answer now. If it’s Gu Lianhun that’s trapped, then…they definitely had to kill him!!

This was extremely important information to know. It definitely would’ve costed them a lot if they went into the pocket dimension blind, but now…they had the upper hand!!
