Chapter 1308: Tingxue Wants to Have a Child

He had initially thought the other party was after the Sacred Flame Token, but now that he was actually opposing the Mongols, it was hard to imagine what his true intentions were.

“You don’t need to know who I am, just know that this is in your best interest.” Zu An hesitated for a moment, not revealing his identity. In this world’s background, Guo Polu was an almost invisible figure with no records, and leaving his name would easily affect the original timeline.

“You stole my Sacred Flame Token and took the Great Shift of the Universe manual, and you call that in my best interest?” Master Shi was seething with anger. “

If it weren’t for me, you would have been killed by the Persians. I saved your lives.”

“If you had died, the Persians would have led you to join the Mongols, and the entire Ming Cult would have existed in name only.”

“I have not only shown you a way to preserve the Ming Cult, but I have also found the long-lost Great Shift of the Universe for you. Shouldn’t you thank me?”

After hearing Zu An’s words, Master Shi fell silent. He knew very well that what the other party said was true, and he gradually calmed down from his initial anger.

“Don’t worry, the Sacred Flame Token will surely return to your Ming Cult in the future.” Zu An’s words possessed a strange magic.

Sometimes, even the Stone Cult Leader wondered if this guy was some kind of immortal descended to earth.

His martial arts skills, displayed at such a young age, surpassed even the legendary Five Greats, and he could even complete the mental cultivation method of the *Great Shift of the Universe*. Now, his words carried a sense of destiny.

“How do you plan to protect our Ming Cult from the Mongols?”

Hearing his tone soften, Zu An summoned Isabella to discuss the details of their future.

Next, Zu’an parted ways with Isabella: “I need to take the Sacred Flame Token back to Xiangyang, so I can’t accompany you back to Persia for the time being. Can you handle these problems by yourself?”

Isabella smiled sweetly: “Don’t worry, Brother Zu, you’ve already helped me with the Great Shift of the Universe and the surrender of the Mongols. If I still can’t become that leader, I might as well just buy a block of tofu and kill myself. Besides, I have the Radiant Moon Envoy to help me.”

Zu’an thought about it and realized she was right. She was the young lady of the Universal Merchant Guild, and when they first met, she had charmed a bunch of heroes from all the universes. He really didn’t need to worry about her.

“By the way, remember that the Great Shift of the Universe must not be revealed to the Persians.” Zu’an knew that in the original timeline, the Persian Ming Cult would send the Purple-Robed Dragon King to steal the Great Shift of the Universe decades later.

“Don’t worry, I know what to do.” Isabella bit her lip and hugged Zu An tightly. “Brother Zu, I don’t know if this parting will be the last time we see each other in this life.”

Zu An remained silent. One was in Persia and the other in the Central Plains, separated by thousands of miles, but that was a small matter. If they couldn’t successfully pass this trial, everyone who participated would die.

“Don’t worry, we will definitely succeed.”

“Yes, I believe in Brother Zu.”

…

Zu An traveled all the way back to Xiangyang. Yan Hua and Ting Xue had been waiting for him for many days. After all, going to Emei or Peach Blossom Island was much faster than going to Kunlun, not to mention that he had stayed in Kunlun for so long.

Seeing him return, Guo Jing and Huang Rong were obviously relieved. Even Yan Hua and Ting Xue felt a huge weight lifted from their hearts. Even though the two women knew that his cultivation was sufficient to protect himself, they were still extremely worried about his overdue return.

Zu An handed the Sacred Flame Token to Guo Jing and Huang Rong to forge the Heaven-Reliant Sword and Dragon-Slaying Saber,

saying, “I promised Leader Shi that I would return it to them after I finished using it.” Guo Jing was overjoyed, “Of course! Leader Shi is truly righteous and generous, actually willing to lend out the sect’s sacred artifact.”

Huang Rong was somewhat puzzled; in her opinion, Leader Shi would never lend out the Sacred Flame Token, but the token was indeed there. Besides, she had to forge the swords and sabers, so she didn’t have time to think further and hurriedly left.

Yan Hua then pulled Zu An and Ting Xue back to her room, asking him about his experiences these past few days.

“Tell me what happened to you first.”

“Tingxue went to Peach Blossom Island, memorized the route and formations, and apart from encountering some lecherous men along the way and being dealt with, nothing special happened. The Thunderbolt Fireballs on Mount Emei were a bit troublesome, but how could they be difficult for me?” Fireworks’ face showed a hint of nostalgia. “However, the sea of clouds on Mount Emei left a deep impression on me, even reminding me of the fireworks I saw when I was sixteen, just as beautiful and enchanting.”

“Hmph, those are all memories from your original identity in this world, how annoying.” Fireworks suddenly realized.

Zu’an was taken aback, not expecting that Fireworks and Guo Xiang were quite connected.

“Quickly tell me what happened to you.” Fireworks’ urging voice interrupted his thoughts, and Tingxue also looked at him curiously.

Zu’an then roughly recounted what had happened, and Fireworks couldn’t help but exclaim, “You actually ran into Isabella! Sometimes I have to admit that you have some special luck.”

“Why didn’t Isabella come back with you?” Tingxue asked, puzzled.

Zuan explained her mission, and Fireworks frowned: “It’s the opposite of our mission?”

“Not necessarily the opposite,” Zuan smiled, “Her mission is to obtain the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth and persuade the Ming Cult to surrender in order to help her become the leader of the Persian headquarters. Actually, it doesn’t conflict much with our mission. I’ve already found a way to help her solve it…”

He then told the two the details.

Fireworks frowned. “So, does that mean she’ll be the first to pass the trial? Then we’ll all be dead.”

“Passing the trial isn’t that simple,” Zuan said gravely. “I’ve suddenly realized something lately. The reason none of those people from the various universes passed this trial before might be because they were all driven by a life-or-death competitive mentality, which is why they all failed.”

“Think about it,” Fireworks continued, “each trial participant receives a different task, with varying levels of difficulty. How can we fairly select qualified participants?”

Fireworks frowned again. “What you said makes some sense, but even if they pass, who gets the power of death? No one should be willing to do the work for someone else.”

Zuan shook his head. “I don’t know yet. We can only take it one step at a time.”

The other party had indeed raised a core question. The previous trial participants were all intelligent; they shouldn’t have been unaware of the need for cooperation.

Yet, ultimately, no one succeeded. It seemed they couldn’t explain this crucial problem.

“What exactly is your plan?” Fireworks pressed.

“Your task is relatively easy. Besides the Heaven Sword and

Dragon Saber Plan, you should also be involved in establishing the Emei Sect. Hers is more difficult,” Zu An said, looking at Ting Xue with a worried expression. “Isn’t her task to oversee the Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber Plan? It should be the simplest, so why is it difficult?” “

The timing doesn’t match. The Mongol Yuan Dynasty won’t fall for about eighty years, but this world only has mortal bodies. How can she endure that long?” Zu An paused before hesitatingly adding, “So she needs to have a child.”

Ting Xue: “???”
