Chapter 1702 - Activation of the Heavenly Sealing Array
Hearing that familiar voice, Liu Wuxie instinctively turned around, and surprise flashed across his face the moment he recognized the person standing before him."Jiao Ba!" Liu Wuxie exclaimed in disbelief. He was surprised to see him there.
Back in the True Martial Continent, he had once mistaken Jiao Ba for the mastermind behind the poison that had nearly killed his grandfather and caused the Liu Clan's decline. Only after traveling to the Eternal Spirit Mountain had he learned the truth. If Jiao Ba hadn't intervened, his grandfather would've already died under Liu Xiaotian's scheme.
In other words, Jiao Ba had been the one who had saved the Liu Clan from complete collapse.
"It has been a long time since we last met, Young Master Liu," Jiao Ba said as he bowed slightly, gratitude evident on his face. He understood clearly that without Liu Wuxie's assistance, the young lady would never have inherited her ancestor's legacy so smoothly.
"Where's Ye Hongyi? Isn't she with you?" Liu Wuxie asked. The moment he saw Jiao Ba, the image of that woman dressed in fiery red surfaced in his mind once more. Her breathtaking beauty remained deeply engraved in his memory.
"The young lady has already ascended to the celestial realm," Jiao Ba replied as he raised a finger toward the sky. Several years ago, Ye Hongyi had chosen to leave the mortal realm behind and ascend.
Liu Wuxie wasn't surprised by the answer. Deep down, he had always felt that Ye Hongyi never truly belonged to the mortal realm.
That realization also allowed him to piece together the truth behind the battle that had occurred 300,000 years ago. Not only had the Sacred Astral River Scroll been swept into the Indigo Bamboo Astral Domain through the spatial crack, but the tomb of Ye Hongyi's ancestor had also fallen into the astral domain alongside it. Later, when the Indigo Bamboo Star had shattered, the tomb was carried into the True Martial Continent.
Only after countless years had passed did she finally obtain her ancestor's inheritance.
"Then why didn't you ascend with her?" Liu Wuxie asked. Jiao Ba's cultivation clearly wasn't weak. He had already stepped into the higher levels of the Heavenly Immortal Realm, so logically, he should've ascended alongside Ye Hongyi long ago.
"The young lady foresaw this disaster long ago, so she instructed me to remain in the mortal realm and help you. Once everything is settled here, I will return to the celestial realm as well," Jiao Ba said frankly, without hiding anything. He had stayed behind for this very moment.
