Jin Huang’s Hidden Identity?

Jin Huang's decision not only shocked Bai Ronghai but also the Immortals monitoring her.

Beyond the Divine Spirit World

The two Immortals, Immortal Chen Dao and Immortal Sheng Jing, were surprised by her actions. They glanced at each other and immediately suspected Jin Huang's identity.

Immortals are beings beyond Emperors. Their abilities are unmatched.

Chen Dao said lightly, "Jin Huang is also a Wanderer!"

Sheng Jing nodded. "Who would have expected that there would be two Wanderers in a single Divine Spirit World? However, there is only one reason why two Wanderers may coexist at the same time!"

Chen Dao agreed. "Li Gang's Special Ability hasn't taken form yet. It is still in its raw state, which is why it doesn't affect the existence of another Special Ability! If his Special Ability were in its complete and perfect form, it wouldn't have been possible for her to coexist with him at the same time."

Sheng Jing murmured, "There is only one thing that doesn't add up! Why does she possess a Perfect Soul as a Wanderer? A Wanderer's Soul is indeed stronger than normal Warriors, but it is not possible for a Wanderer to have a Perfect Soul!"

Chen Dao thought of something and conjured a hypothesis instantly. "It should be because of her Special Ability! She may not possess a Perfect Soul, but a Special Ability that causes a similar effect as the Perfect Soul itself."

However, how did they even come to a conclusion like this?

Jin Huang first asked He Fan to exchange the Spiritual Imprint of her son. And then, she asked Bai Ronghai to strip away his Spiritual Imprint. These two incidents didn't add up.

Her actions were too suspicious to be just about protecting her son and keeping him away from their control. That's not all! There was one more clue—she never used her Spiritual Imprint after her awakening! It is said that she possesses a Grade 7 Spiritual Imprint, but no one has ever seen her use it!

In fact, what she wanted to achieve was to hide the fact that Ling Tian didn't possess a Spiritual Imprint to begin with. Only those born in this world would lack a Spiritual Imprint if both their parents didn't have one!

It should be noted that even if a mortal doesn't undergo the Awakening Ceremony, he still possesses a Spiritual Imprint in his Soul in a raw form. The Awakening Ceremony is held to mature it and awaken its abilities. Every entity born in this world would definitely possess a Spiritual Imprint unless their Soul doesn't belong to this world and therefore lacks a Spiritual Imprint!

This confirmed that Ling Tian's parents most likely didn't possess a Spiritual Imprint, including Jin Huang herself.

Eastern Continent

Time passed, and more and more Warriors started coming to the Western Ruins in search of various treasures. Even though it was fake news, it was an undeniable truth that the whole Western Ruin was formed from the destruction of various small worlds containing countless Inheritances, including Emperor's relics! Most of the opportunities had already disappeared, but there were still some lucky Warriors who gained benefits. However, there was still no information regarding the presence of the Soul Emperor's Inheritance.

The existence of the Soul Emperor's relic also spread like wildfire, and the whole Divine Spirit World was informed. Warriors from different parts of the world started coming and trying their luck. However, only those Warriors who had some capital could come. Most of them were already above the Rank 6 stage!

8 years had already passed!

1st February, 36th Year of the Great Emperor Era

On this day, Ye Fan finally triggered the Spatial Node connecting to the hidden Inheritance. Even he himself was shocked at the existence of this relic!

The Western Ruin itself covers a large area—billions of square kilometers! The small world was also around the same size. In fact, this small world had already broken. During the catastrophe, some parts of the Inheritance became unstable, were destroyed, and disappeared into different spaces.

As soon as the Spatial Node was triggered, Ji Changchen was instantly alarmed! The entire formation by Bai Songmei was designed for this purpose only—to alert Ji Changchen the moment an external path through a different Spatial Node was triggered.

Just as there are infinite points between any two points, no matter how close those points are, similarly, there are infinite Spatial Nodes within any given volume of space! Searching for a certain Spatial Node that could trigger the Inheritance across the vast Western Ruin was like searching for a speck of dust in the vast Universe!

The only reason Ye Fan succeeded was because of Little Heaven's interference. Little Heaven controls what is uncontrollable! It has the ability to control variability and deviations. This ability of Little Heaven is called Absolute Margin. Some people call it controlling luck or controlling destiny!

With absolute control over the inherent limits of accuracy, Little Heaven has the ability to control one's destiny to a certain extent. If you want to see how huge its impact can actually be, then you should know—the entire Catastrophe that happened before the Great Emperor's era was because of this Absolute Margin!

How?

Little Heaven controlled a loophole in Li Gang's plan. Huang Shu's father had slight affection for him. However, Little Heaven manipulated the marginal error of that affection, causing him to lend a protective measure for his safety. It should be noted that Little Heaven couldn't make his father give him any sort of protection unless he already had the idea in mind and was indecisive about the level of protection he should provide. Even without Little Heaven's interference, he would have lent it anyway, but what Little Heaven did was increase its level to the point that Huang Shu could freely escape the predicament—escaping from multiple Rank 5 beasts attacking him!

With this, Huang Shu not only escaped but also leaked Ren Ying's identity as Li Gang, which then made the Li family a target. Li Gang's identity as the Demon King of the South wouldn't have been revealed without this, and the attack of the Immortal also wouldn't have happened without Li Gang becoming the Demon King!

Absolute Margin may seem trivial, but it has the ability to control destiny, luck, and the coincidences of every race in the Divine Spirit World!

Ye Fan had the greatest advantage in the Western Ruins. He had trained under his previous master here and knew this place like the back of his hand! Thus, he reaped the most benefits during this journey, aside from Wang Xiaoyao and Meng Xian.

The trio had been traveling together, sharing benefits along the way.

They looked at the huge, circular-shaped gate and nodded at each other. However, it was still dangerous to enter without first assessing the situation inside the portal.

Meng Xian was aware that it was very safe. However, he wouldn't let it show. They were all rational people, and they might sense something amiss. They would instantly become suspicious if Meng Xian appeared too certain about the portal's safety!

He captured a moving bird and immediately took out a rope. This rope was made of Rank 5 material, making it highly durable.

He tied the bird's leg with the rope and threw the bird into the portal. After an hour, he pulled the rope back.

Other than a scratch on its feet—caused by the tightness of the binding—there was nothing unusual about it. They sighed in relief.

This time, Ye Fan conducted another experiment. He tied two strange objects to two different ropes and threw them inside at the same time.

Meng Xian immediately guessed Ye Fan's goal.

The two strange objects were, in fact, very strong magnets whose properties had been enhanced with array formations. As long as they were within 50 meters of each other, they would be pulled together if left untouched! However, these magnets were different. Normal magnets have two poles: North and South.

These magnets had three poles: North, South, and Neutral.

North-North and South-South repel each other, while North-South attract each other. Neutral has neither attraction nor repulsion to either pole.

However, this didn't affect their overall goal. The magnets would still be drawn toward each other and align mid-air before eventually sticking together at North-South.

They waited a few minutes and pulled one of the ropes. Only one object was retrieved. Ye Fan pulled the other rope as well.

This confirmed that as long as two Warriors entered the gate, they would be teleported to different locations.

Why did he throw the two stones at the same time? It was to reduce the number of experiments. Efficiency matters!

If he had thrown the two magnets one at a time, he would have needed another experiment to check whether entering separately or simultaneously led to the same destination. However, now it was clear—even if you enter at the same time, as long as you don't have any physical contact, you will be transported to different locations!

Wang Xiaoyao smiled. "It's my turn now."

In these eight years, they had already developed a tacit understanding.

Wang Xiaoyao took the two magnets and aligned them linearly at their Neutral Poles before throwing them into the portal. She applied force to the backward magnet, causing the forward magnet—since it was in contact with the backward one—to move with the same velocity. This ensured that by the time they entered, they were already in contact with each other.

Of course, she had already tied them together with a rope.

This time, they didn't wait long before pulling one of the ropes. Both magnets appeared together, stuck to each other at North-South.

This proved that as long as two people were in physical contact when entering, they would arrive at the same location.

They continued running multiple experiments, and after confirming everything was safe, they agreed to enter the Inheritance.

Ye Fan, Wang Xiaoyao, and Meng Xian were the first three Warriors to enter this Inheritance.

Ji Changchen also appeared at the portal not long after. He first inspected the situation and soon entered.

It was only a few months later that this portal was discovered by other Warriors, and the news of the Soul Emperor's Inheritance spread worldwide.
