Chapter 431: Learning the One Heart Palm....
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The next day, Jiang Hao was still sitting in the inn and listening to the conversations of the people around him.
Yesterday, he had appraised someone.
He found out that the person was from the Fallen Immortal Clan and was going to meet up with his companions.
He had used the contact information left by Wan Xiu and Si Cheng and told them everything.
He didn’t Know what had happened atter that. It these two were taking action, then it seemed plausible that no one would be their match.
So far, he hadn’t felt that anyone could compare to them.
The Dao Conference was starting the day after tomorrow. Yet, Hong Yuye still hadn’t come out of her room.
After careful thought, he decided to go to her room.
He didn’t find any barriers. The only protective barriers were the ones they had set up when they first rented the room.
Jiang Hao approached her room. He thought of knocking but decided against it.
He chose to go in silently.
This way, he wouldn’t disturb her. If everything was fine with her, he could leave quietly.
There was no sound from Hong Yuye at all. He wanted to check in on her.
When he was about to go in, the door suddenly opened from inside.
His hand hovered in the air close to the person who had opened the door. If he had gone even an inch forward, his hand would have touched her.
Hong Yuye stared at him and smiled.
In an instant, a chill spread throughout the entire inn.
Jiang Hao quickly withdrew his hand and lowered his head. “Senior, I didn’t mean to…”
Bang!
A vast aura surged and sent Jiang Hao flying.
The people in the inn only felt a chill but didn’t notice anything unusual. The sudden coldness came and went very quickly, so no one paid much attention.
Jiang Hao held his face and got up from the floor.
He had just hit his face against the wall.
Hong Yuye had used her power to push him from outside the room, and he had crashed into the wall.
It was an accident! He hadn’t expected Hong Yuye to open the door so suddenly.
He was curious. He wondered what would have happened if he had entered the room. Would he be dead by now?
It was better not to be curious about such things. He could end up dead.
When he regained his composure, Hong Yuye was already sitting at the table.
Jiang Hao didn’t dare hesitate and went over to make tea.
“What were you trying to do just now?” Hong Yuye asked as she raised her teacup.
“I was just about to knock on the door to check in on you, Senior. The Dao Conference is approaching…”
“You use your palm to knock on the door?” Hong Yuye sipped her tea.
“I apologize, Senior.” Jiang Hao bowed respectfully.
Hong Yuye looked at the person in front of her. “How long until the Dao Conference?”
“It’s the day after tomorrow,” Jiang Hao said.
It was time. Otherwise, he would never dare to push on her door. “The day after tomorrow?” Hong Yuye sipped her tea. “Are you prepared?” “Yes.” Jiang Hao nodded.
He had indeed made all the other preparations, but the most important one was still Hong Yuye.
She was unpredictable and beyond anything he had ever encountered.
For example, he knew his meeting with Wan Xiu and Si Cheng was because of her.
If it were just him, they wouldn’t be so courteous to him.
Although Hong Yuye hadn’t done much, her mere presence was impactful.
Hong Yuye didn’t seem to care about the rumors and the Fallen Immortal Clan.
It seemed that these matters were nothing to her.
She was probably more interested in the Great Thousand God Sect, The End of All Things, and the stone tablet.
The stone tablet was probably her greatest interest.
Before, she used to collect the stone tablets, but not anymore. Collecting more of them would affect the gathering.
It would be even harder to find the person behind the stone tablet.
“It’s quite difficult to succeed in the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment. No one will know how it will go until the very end,” said Hong Yuye as she put down her teacup. “But for the good of the whole world, it is important for the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment to succeed.”
Jiang Hao nodded.
The Earth Extreme Heart Devouring Pearl had appeared, and the Earth Extreme Silence Pearl was also being sought after. These items were all apocalyptic.
Once they appeared, ordinary people couldn’t withstand the destruction.
Only those with great luck could suppress these things.
For many, there was a benefit to someone achieving the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment. Even demonic sects acknowledged it. After finishing the tea, Hong Yuye walked behind the folding screen.
“Prepare the water.”
Jiang Hao knew that Hong Yuye wanted to bathe.
After testing the water temperature, Jiang Hao sat down with his back to the folding screen.
He could hear the sound of clothes being taken off and the sound of water as someone entered the tub.
Images flashed through his mind. At this moment, a book suddenly fell in front of him.
“I won’t make you help me for nothing,” said Hong Yuye from behind.
Jiang Hao picked up the book and looked at it. There were three words on it: One Heart Palm.
Even if he learned this technique, it wouldn’t be of use.
He examined the book curiously.
The One Heart Palm was created by a couple. Their love was supposedly forbidden.
On the night they were separated, they created this palm technique.
They planned to elope afterward.
The woman was confined, and the man traversed endless distances to reach her.
As long as this palm technique succeeded, the woman would be by his side in an instant.
Jiang Hao read further.
He found that the subsequent pages contained the cultivation method for the palm technique.
‘What happened next?’
Jiang Hao was curious. ‘Did they elope in the end? Why was their love forbidden?’
The cultivation world was vast and boundless, and what was considered forbidden in one place might not be so in another. What could be so forbidden that the entire world would despise it? He couldn’t understand.
“Are you curious to know if they succeeded?” Hong Yuye suddenly asked.
“Yes. From this book, it seems the palm technique was successfully created. So, they should have succeeded in eloping together, right?”
“They failed,” Hong Yuye said.
“Why?” Jiang Hao was puzzled.
“Because that man was involved with other women, the One Heart Palm failed,” Hing Yuye said.
“So, if one person is involved with many others, both will fail?” Jiang Hao asked.
‘Yes.” Hong Yuye nodded.
“Is it possible that the woman might have been the problem?” Jiang Hao asked.
Hing Yuye remained silent.
Jiang Hao dared not say more.
He continued reading and found out that the technique was supposed to be cast on the chest.
He wondered if it could be cast on the back instead of the chest.
If the back was an option, he had a chance to use it.
But casting it on the chest…
Jiang Hao shook his head. That was impossible.
Hong Yuye might go berserk and just kill him at that point.
After that, he began to comprehend the technique.
It wasn’t until late at night that he had an epiphany.
There was no sound behind him.
“Senior?”
He called twice, but Hong Yuye didn’t respond.
He turned around and saw that Hong Yuye was lying in the wooden tub.
He approached the folding screen and found that Hong Yuye had fallen asleep.
He shook his head and sat back down to read more about the One Heart Palm.
On the day of the Dao Conference, Jiang Hao emerged from Hong Yuye’s room.
He had been reading about the One Heart Palm all along. It wasn’t a difficult technique, but it was somewhat strange.
It seemed to be related to one’s state of mind as well.
If one had a strong aversion toward someone, the technique couldn’t be used at all.
This surprised Jiang Hao..
