Lord Jin Zhu continued, "Qi Zheyun returned during the Lantern Festival of the 18th year of Jianing when His Majesty hosted a banquet for the ministers. At the feast, His Majesty asked him about his aspirations. Advancing with his sword, Qi Zheyun declared his desire to become the first Martial Saint of Jingning through both dynasties and to unite the lands for His Majesty."

Chen Ji curiously asked, "Where is this Qi Zheyun now?"

In the dark carriage, Lord Jin Zhu looked toward Chen Ji with a peculiar expression. "Dead."

Chen Ji was shocked, "Dead?!"

Lord Jin Zhu continued, "Let me explain slowly. This Qi Zheyun was no ordinary character. When someone visited the Qi family, they discovered that his parents revered him like a deity and did not address each other as parents and son. Later, when his father was drunk, he revealed that Qi Zheyun was not a mortal but an immortal from the Forty-nine Heavens, hailing from 'East Kunlun.'"

Chen Ji composed himself.

Forty-nine Heavens!
