Chapter 1137: Big Trouble!

“Not in the Stellarsky Domain!”

Jiang Yi was dumbfounded as Yi Chan’s eyes became very round. The impact of this sentence was immense. Yi Chan did not even know whether besides the Stellarsky Domain, the Immortal Domain really existed; Jiang Yi, though, had gotten an affirmative answer from the Mystic Thearch.

“Why would my mother not be in the Stellarsky Domain?”

Jiang Yi was astounded. If she wasn’t in the Stellarsky Domain—could Yi Piaopiao have transcended like the Mystic Thearch? However, how old could Yi Piaopiao be? When he was two or three-years-old, Yi Piaopiao had returned to the East Imperial Continent. She would have been around twenty then, right? She transcended at the age of twenty-something? If that was true, it was impossible that such an incredible feat was not known on the East Imperial Continent.

The Buddha Thearch saw that Jiang Yi’s expression was full of confusion and smiled bitterly and said, “Don’t look at me. There are many things that I am not sure myself; I might not be completely right as well. You should take the time to cultivate properly. When the time is ripe, Yu Wen would naturally go and find you.”

“Again with this…”

Jiang Yi could not take it; people who left things hanging were the most detestable. If one didn’t know, one should not have even started talking. That way, no one would be left hanging and anxious because they did not know the full story. However, if the Buddha Thearch refused to say, Jiang Yi could do nothing about it. Jiang Yi quieted down as his brain started to think furiously again, trying to sort things out.

A person such as the Buddha Thearch would not lie. There was a huge possibility that Jiang Yi’s mother was not in the Stellarsky Domain. If not, she would have long appeared to meet him.

Yu Wen!

The Buddha Thearch had said Jiang Yi had seen Yu Wen before? However, the person who had followed his mother to Sin Island and the elder in that painting in the Painting Cliffs, Jiang Yi had definitely never seen before. Also, Jiang Yi had asked many people regarding this name Yu Wen; even the Shadow Emperor had not heard of him before.

Hence, Yu Wen was most definitely a fake name; that elder could also have been in disguise.

The Buddha Thearch had also said that Yu Wen had not revealed his identity; this sentence carried a lot of meaning. Furthermore, from the scene in the Battle Spatial Zone of the Situ Clan, it appeared that Yu Wen was very strong. The Buddha Thearch had said that their strength was comparable. That meant that Yu Wen was definitely an eight- or higher-star martial expert. If that was the case, the number of possible suspects would be narrowed significantly. Yu Wen was either one of the Nine Thearchs or the Sect Patriarch of some concealed great sect.

If this conjecture was accurate, Yi Piaopiao’s identity was even more thought-provoking. A young girl that had an eight, nine-star martial expert as her personal guard? A young girl that gave some pointers to the Buddha Thearch? A young girl that was not in the Stellarsky Domain?

Based on the information that Jiang Yi had gathered, he knew that Yi Piaopiao was an obstinate person that possessed many treasures. She was also someone who acted without bothering about the consequences. At this moment, Jiang Yi had a very bold thought that was slowly surfacing. He took a deep breath as he growled and asked, “Buddha Thearch, is my mother from the Higher Domain? She is not a human of the Stellarsky Domain?”

The Buddha Thearch looked approvingly at Jiang Yi as he paused, then nodded, and said, “Since you have already guessed, I will not hide it from you. Indeed, your mother is not from the Stellarsky Domain.”

“Uh!”

Jiang Yi’s expression did not change much. Yi Chan, on the other hand, exclaimed out loud. Her small mouth opened so wide it looked as if she could swallow an egg whole. She had just discovered that Jiang Yi’s background was not that simple; now, his mother was not even a human but a fairy from the Higher Domain?

To be able to descend from the Higher Domain—if she wasn’t a fairy, what was she?

“Hu-hu…”

Jiang Yi exhaled loudly. He was not particularly happy about receiving this answer. In fact, he felt emotionally even heavier.

Yi Piaopiao came from the Higher Domain. That meant that her background and methods were exceptional. The Mystic Thearch himself had said that it was very difficult to come back. How was Yi Piaopiao able to enter and exit the Stellarsky Domain as she pleased? However, such a person like her would abandon her own son hungry and crying? What had happened or what difficulties could a mother have, that she would abandon her own son?

The phantom image that Yi Piaopiao had left on Starfall Island had also said that she had her own difficulties. Difficulties that could cause trouble for such a mighty figure as Yi Piaopiao; what she was facing was definitely huge.

There was also Xiaonu!

Xiaonu’s race was so unique and magical. Their powers were also so strong. Within a few years of cultivating the Ink Feather Divine Art, she had transformed from a helpless and powerless young lady into a world-class martial expert. Jiang Yi suddenly became very curious—did Jiang Xiaonu come from the Higher Domain also? If not, how could it be that with the Shadow Emperor’s considerable resources at his disposal, he did not know about the existence of the Ink Feather Race?

“If you have no way of cultivating, you should stay and live in peace in Skyplume City for the rest of your life. Knowing too much will only make you unhappier…

“Please forgive your mother. I did not mean to lie to you. I also do not wish to leave you or abandon you. I have my own difficulties.

“Child, do not attempt to find me and do not go around asking where I have gone; even your father does not know where I have come from…”

Yi Piaopiao’s final words rang loud in Jiang Yi’s brain. He finally understood the depths behind her words and also knew why Yi Piaopiao had not left anything behind for him.

She had encountered a huge problem, a problem that even someone with her stature and power could not handle!

Hence, she had feigned her death and did not leave any treasures for Jiang Yi. She wanted him to live a carefree and relaxed life on the Stellarsky Continent his entire life. The more a person knew, the more he would be unhappy.

Before she left, she had instructed Shui Youlan that if Jiang Yi could not break the seal on his dantian, cultivate, and walk to the Starfall Island on his own, Jiang Yi did not have the right to know if she was dead or alive. He would also not be qualified to see the phantom image of her.

Furthermore, on the East Imperial Continent, it was obvious she had organized things as well.

The Buddha Thearch had said that the moment Jiang Yi had left the Stellarsky Continent, they had all known about it. However, no one had helped him; and their intent was clear to Jiang Yi. If he could not rely on himself to work hard and survive, if he could not break through, and if he could not attain his current level of strength, he could not even have gotten the chance to know these secrets. That was because without strength and power, knowing the truth would only add to his frustrations and pressure and make him feel more miserable, living in misery and guilt his whole life.

At this moment…!

Jiang Yi somewhat understood the Buddha Thearch and Yu Wen’s thinking. They had controlled his life and prepared it for him, all with the intention of polishing him and building him up. If Jiang Yi continued to grow stronger and stronger, he could go and find Yi Piaopiao on his own at the end, to help her with this big problem!

“Big problem…”

Jiang Yi suddenly felt as if two huge mountains were weighing down on his shoulders, preventing him from breathing.

He was no longer angry but became calm; he did not want to ask too much either. Knowing just a little now was already multiplying the pressure he was feeling; a person without power knowing too many things was not a good thing after all.

Jiang Yi kept mum for ten full minutes. Then, he didn’t say anything, respectfully bowed three times at the Buddha Thearch, and flew up towards the Buddha Thearch Palace.

“Grandfather!”

Yi Chan looked at Jiang Yi’s back and his slightly bent frame and felt the heaviness in his heart. She looked, heartbroken, at the Buddha Thearch.

“Let him go.”

The Buddha Thearch gestured. He then sat down, closed his eyes, and continued to fish. The Mystic Divine Palace above shone bright and then entered the fissure in the spatial zone and vanished. Yi Chan watched as the Mystic Divine Palace left and then saw that the Buddha Thearch was entirely uncaring. She stomped her feet and said anxiously, “Grandfather, even you guys do not want to help him. Jiang Yi is too pitiful…”

“We cannot help him.”

The Buddha Thearch opened his eyes as he sighed heavily, saying, “Since he had walked out from the Stellarsky Continent and since he had chosen to look for his mother, he has to walk this path on his own. It is still that old saying: his fate had long been decided. He was either going to soar above the clouds or forever fall into oblivion. Little Chan’er, the East Imperial Continent is not as simple as you think. There are so many things that we are powerless to deal with…”
