Chapter 1588: Chapter 1587: Obtaining an Identity
"What about the others? I was there too, I saw with my own eyes that some other servants, their energy structures were different when they started scanning, but the second time they scanned, they were the same. Why is that? Did you tamper with the scans in the middle?"
Fang Yu smiled faintly.
"How could I tamper with their instruments? The technology in the Red County Star Domain is highly advanced, and that machine seems to be connected with their high-tech system. If I tampered with their instruments, it would definitely be discovered. So, before that, I had already created dozens of energy mantras."
"Creating energy mantras?"
"Exactly. The energy mantras on the Cui family’s people were placed by me a long time ago. As for those who came to inspect the Cui family, the mantras could be applied temporarily. Energy mantras are extremely exquisite and can be made to be identical. To prevent them from being too similar and arousing suspicion, I deliberately introduced a slight error."
Upon hearing these words, Ye Wenjun was utterly shocked, not expecting that energy fluctuations could be utilized this way. Energy mantras, such skills are truly terrifying.
There had been rumors in the past that this was a skill that had been lost to time.
"Energy mantras, are they really that powerful?"
"By the methods of using energy mantras in the past, they were formidable but not at the level I can achieve now. I possess energy of all attributes, the bodies of Zhi Gang and Zhi Yang, and extremely powerful primordial qi. Plus, the Divine Dragon energy as a supplement. As these factors stack up, they cause the energy mantra to undergo a qualitative change. Look..."
Fang Yu raised his hand.
Ye Wenjun’s eyes also fell on his palm.
Ye Wenjun saw a tiny long sword appear in his palm. At a glance, he recognized this weapon as the Water Cold Sword he carries with him.
The Water Cold Sword originally belonged to Fang Yu, who later gifted it to Ye Wenjun. Unexpectedly, it could be created identically using an energy mantra, almost indistinguishable from the original. Fang Yu moved his mind slightly, and the Water Cold Sword formed by the energy mantra enlarged to the same size as the one in Ye Wenjun’s hand.
Returning to the basics.
The glow of the energy mantra vanished, making it appear almost solid.
When touched with the hand, the energy mantra would disappear. This left him feeling incredible.
"I never thought energy mantras could reach such a realm. It’s unbelievable."
"These are all mere tricks. Your husband knows much more than just these."
"Stop boasting. Although this matter has ended, paper can’t wrap up fire; you never know when conflicts might erupt again. I feel that the steward Jiang and Ding Houtian will come looking for trouble sooner or later. What do you plan to do?" Ye Wenjun said.
"We’ll continue with the previous plan. We need to investigate all the information and details of the Heavenly Ladder, then destroy it. But before that, we need to establish a position of our own. The Red County Star Domain is no ordinary place; brute force alone won’t solve our problems. If we could find a way to increase our cultivation, it would be even better."
"Destroying the Heavenly Ladder is indeed a good method, but for now, how do we establish ourselves? Do you plan to stay as a guest in the Cui family’s hall forever?"
"Let’s get an identity card first."
"Identity card?"
"It’s like Earth’s ID card, but it shouldn’t be difficult for us to get one. Many members of the Divine Race move to the main planet from the ten major star domains. I’ll contact Miss Cui; she should be able to help."
"Miss Cui again."
"Now is not the time to be jealous."
"I’m too lazy to be jealous. That Miss Cui is really beautiful, 80% similar to people from Earth."
"She has Earthling genes, but nobody knows. However, Mr. Cui must know, so I suspect he harbors some unspeakable secret."
Ye Wenjun felt somewhat surprised, not expecting Mr. Cui to have such a background.
This proves he must have visited Earth and even interacted with Earthlings. For the Divine Race, with their superiority complex, to father such a daughter is truly something to gossip about.
Miss Cui managing to live until now is not an easy feat.
The two acted without delay.
Fang Yu went to find Miss Cui and mentioned the identity card issue. He purposely made up an excuse about his planet being too chaotic and located too far from the city, hence why he hadn’t obtained an identity card yet. Miss Cui was straightforward as this was a minor issue, even without an identity card, staying in the main city as a guest of the Cui family wasn’t a problem.
Still, being of the Divine Race, having an identity card is necessary just in case. Therefore, Miss Cui wrote a letter of introduction for Fang Yu.
Fang Yu and Ye Wenjun, holding the letter of introduction, went to the place where identity cards are processed. They easily got their ID without any obstacles. Surprisingly smooth.
The two took their identity cards.
As they were leaving, Ye Wenjun said, "What name did you use for yourself?"
"I just picked a random one, it doesn’t matter."
"I chose Ye Siyu."
"What does that mean?"
"In memory of Ye Wenjun, some so-and-so."
"..."
After saying this, Ye Wenjun shot him a glance and walked straight toward the end of the street. Fang Yu suddenly felt as if he missed a perfect answer. He turned what could have been an easy win into a tricky question.
How awkward.
"How do you intend to discover the secrets of the Heavenly Ladder?"
Ye Wenjin walked quickly, but Fang Yu had to run to catch up with him.
"For now, we can only use the Cui family as a base. We’ll eventually encounter more advanced members of the Divine Race and then probe for secrets about the Heavenly Ladder."
"That’s a good approach."
"Let’s go back. I have a hunch that Mr. Cui will be seeking me out soon."
...
...
Meanwhile, on Earth, the cultivators were progressing rapidly in their cultivation. At Wanxian University, Principal Ding Chunqiu, along with Chen Daotian and others, approached the secret realm passageway on the west side.
After some time spent searching and surveying, Ding Chunqiu and the others finally discovered that the passage leading to the Red County Star Domain had opened once more.
They were all aware that although these secret realm passages allowed for cultivation, there was also the danger of being captured.
So, they gathered in front of the passage without rushing in.
"What do we do now? Should we all rush in and rescue Brother Yu and his sister-in-law?"
"This lousy idea could only come from you."
"Then what’s your plan? Enlighten us instead of just talking."
"Foolish. Rushing in now is akin to courting death. I suggest the possibility of sending one or two people as spies first. Of course, this is very dangerous," Xu Huanwen said.
"Sending people now isn’t feasible. We can stay on the passage’s perimeter and try to sense the energy in the hostile passage. If it’s far beyond our capabilities, we should retreat and continue cultivating. Under no circumstances should we alarm them," Ding Chunqiu said.
"Principle Ding makes sense. So, who should go first?"
"I’ll go. You seem to have forgotten about me," Xu Zhaopei stood up.
