Chapter 975: Chapter 975
But within the Kun Pond, the authority of everyone comes to an end.
To be efficient, Emperor Qian has already minimized the procedures to their limits and can't grant them more power.
Unlike the Jinyi Wei, who know a lot and have enforcement rights.
Having a target or a cesspool on the surface is enough, and besides, people inside the Kun Pond are not suitable for outside tasks.
That's why outsiders can't interfere with the matters of the Kun Pond, and people in the Kun Pond can't interfere with external affairs either.
It's always been this way, especially in recent years, when the dong chang affairs were exposed, and everyone inside the Kun Pond is on edge, even more afraid to reach outside.
Tracing back, it's generally not much different.
Old Yang doesn't even need to find more suspects, directly assuming it's the work of someone from the Kun Pond.
Yu Ziqing understood in his heart, it was similar to the information Old Song had given him.
When he returned, he specifically asked Old Song for intelligence concerning the Kun Pond.
That eerie place has always been —strong enough not to reach outwards, but not weak enough to let outsiders meddle in internal affairs either.
Mostly just internal strife within the Kun Pond.
Yu Ziqing requested some lists and their past deeds.
And now, after comparing them, he had some suspects.
But beyond that, Old Song doesn't know much either. The Jinyi Wei never interfere in the matters of the Kun Pond, just like they don't interfere with Langya Institute's affairs, as it easily causes taboo.
"So, do you think it's someone from the Kun Pond secretly selling Kun You, or is it actually the handiwork of the Daqian court?"
"Unclear, even if it was sold outside, no one could know.
After all, the migration of Kun You is very costly, yet not migrating causes it to lose its potency.
This one aspect is well-documented.
Indeed, when traversing the void, little by little each time, nobody can say for sure."
"So, who do you think, if one were to meddle, would be most suitable?"
"It could only be the Grand Steward of Kun Pond, high in rank but low in power, yet at least possessing Ninth Tier strength."
"Then that's easy to deal with."
Yu Ziqing filtered through historical records within the Kun Pond.
Compared to the power of officials across Daqian, though Kun Pond is important, its steward could be considered a semi-retirement position.
There are very few who have reached the Ninth Tier Realm, even tracing back to the limit.
"The Death Dragon Talisman appeared a long time ago, but recently, someone must have re-refined it.
Moreover, the power emerges during Kun You's migration, and is brief, so the refining must be timely."
Old Yang reminded him.
Yu Ziqing realized in his heart that the Daqian Crown Prince must know a lot.
The current Grand Steward of Kun Pond is definitely involved.
Yu Ziqing thought of when Emperor Qian hastily emerged, yet seemed to have done nothing, and the Crown Prince's position remained secure.
With a turn of thought, Yu Ziqing turned to send a message to New Five.
Then leisurely went to the southwestern corner of the Forbidden Land of Jinlan Mountain to continue telling stories to Juice.
Yu Ziqing originally intended to give a specific reference of the True Form.
But after some thought, it seemed none were quite suitable; forcing it would still have flaws.
Therefore, Yu Ziqing incorporated some records from the classics into his storytelling.
Only interpretation and explanation, without True Form.
After all, those past records themselves are the witness and sediment of time.
"...By the way, the Tai Shi Scripture records that when the Two Practitioners were not yet divided, it was called Hong Yuan. Dim Mixture and Expansive Flood, like an egg, called Chaos.
Actually, according to ancient sayings, interpreting it through cultivation, this chaos may not be a good thing.
Yet, when explained in detail, it can be seen that the air of heaven and earth, all living things in the beginning were chaos.
Thus it can accommodate all things, formless yet forming..."
Yu Ziqing inserted a segment of explanation when the opportunity arose.
In essence, it was paving the way for Old Yang.
If he transforms into a True Form without True Form, turning into chaos.
Then, as for the dragon's curse, it can be classified as originating from chaos.
Any power is , and thus, Old Yang's transformation into the third form, utilizing the power of the curse for themselves, is reasonable and aligns with the truth.
Anyway, shooting the arrow first and drawing the target later—who couldn't do that? This content belongs to NoveIꜰire.net
Yu Ziqing painted the largest target, with the entire target being the bullseye, so Old Yang could hit it even with their eyes closed.
And so, it aligned perfectly with their ideology of not having a True Form.
No one knows how it will change, which is great.
Juice doesn't care much anyway, as long as the nutrients Yu Ziqing provides can be absorbed, they absorb it all.
Several days later, Old Yang quietly left with Yu Ziqing, passing through the Abyss to reach the East Sea.
Old Yang's air of peculiarity had reached its zenith, and the dragon's curse was on the brink of being triggered.
By all measures, the time had come.
"Are you sure you can do it?"
"The arrow is on the string, it must be shot." Old Yang gave a low shout.
Their aura grew stronger and let out cries of pain.
The dragon body began to collapse, flesh seemed to scatter, but it was actually merging into those cursed evil qi.
Before long, their entire form was entirely dissolved, transforming into a third form.
Like a mass of gray mist, drifting without a fixed shape.
But this moment was just the beginning, like the form of a Heavenly Demon or the original transformation into a sheep, or originally into the dragon body.
Without experiencing the Transformation Thunder Tribulation, it wasn't considered as a complete transformation.
Yet once Old Yang's transformation was complete, their consciousness seemed to blend into the mist, no longer having clear self-awareness.
