The Demon with Holy Radiance

Now that he had confirmed the missing fragment of his Forbidden Artifact was inside the Golden Thread Pavilion, Yang An struggled to decide whether to go and retrieve his part.

If he went to the Golden Thread Pavilion, he would undoubtedly be exposed.

Even if he used the Scripture Defector Association’s mask to conceal his identity, his cover would be blown the moment he fought someone. His arsenal of Light Magic techniques was simply too conspicuous; he would be recognized in an instant.

But if he didn’t go, he couldn’t just abandon his only chance to break through to the Insect Dao and remain stagnant.

Besides, the Golden Thread Pavilion and Great Virtue Temple were currently at war. Their headquarters might be left vulnerable, with weaker defenses than usual. This was a perfect opportunity.

’To go or not to go?’

Looking at Liu Feifei’s powerfully beating Heart in his hand, Yang An took a deep breath. He then connected with the Forbidden Calamity Cauldron once more and made a wish.

"Let me get what I want smoothly!"

He had already witnessed the Power of Rules of the Forbidden Calamity Cauldron. It had even located the Forbidden Artifact Fragment that he’d been completely unable to sense. It was clearly a powerful aid, and Yang An had no intention of wasting it.

That same day, Yang An returned the Heart to Forbidden Calamity, and it returned to Liu Feifei’s body.

He had made his decision.

"Are you leaving Nirvana City?"

Now that Liu Feifei was awake, Forbidden Calamity couldn’t help but ask with some regret.

If Yang An could stay and protect Nirvana City alongside him, the safety of all its people would be assured. But if he left, given Forbidden Calamity’s current combat strength, Nirvana City would likely face many dangers ahead.

He believed Yang An would fulfill his promise after breaking through to the Insect Dao and help him rescue Hai Xin from the Great Virtue Temple.

But this was not something that could be done quickly. Even with the location of the Forbidden Artifact Fragment confirmed, it wouldn’t be easy to obtain—especially not during this chaotic and eventful time in the Treasure Temple Domain.

But to Forbidden Calamity’s surprise, Yang An shook his head.

"Don’t worry, Master. I won’t leave here before I break through to the Insect Dao."

Now that the location of the Forbidden Artifact Fragment was confirmed, Yang An was determined to get it, but there was no need to put himself in harm’s way unnecessarily.

He was indeed going to the Golden Thread Pavilion, but not in his true body. Instead, he would use a vessel body to conceal his identity as much as possible. It would be better to be discovered later rather than sooner.

"I wish you success, Benefactor."

Forbidden Calamity was relieved and, at the same time, used the Forbidden Calamity Cauldron to bestow another blessing upon Yang An.

"However, until I get the Forbidden Artifact Fragment, I’ll need you to watch over this place, Master. I won’t be able to help much."

Yang An spoke frankly. After thanking Forbidden Calamity, he left the temple and returned to the Glazed Tower.

Inside the tower, Yang An used his own Power of Rules to erect several protective barriers of light around himself, preventing any disturbances while he activated his vessel body. Only then did he enter the Tree of Flesh and Blood and use the authority granted by the Workshop Master to initiate the vessel’s teleportation.

Although he couldn’t bring much with him via the vessel teleportation, having the Bow Lady by his side was enough.

Yang An also modified the vessel body’s appearance and build. It looked like a complete stranger compared to his original self, with a more robust and taller physique.

This way, he wouldn’t attract attention even without a mask. The new body was a far cry from his original one, and as long as he avoided using his signature techniques, he wouldn’t be discovered too quickly.

「A few hours later.」

Amidst a range of mountains, the invisible space twisted like a writhing passage and spat out a figure that fell to the ground.

No matter how many times he used the vessel teleportation, it was never a pleasant experience. Even with his high Cultivation Level, he couldn’t escape the feeling of being shat out.

Yang An first scanned his surroundings, confirming he was now very close to the Golden Thread Pavilion Floating Island. Only then did he retrieve the Moon Talisman from the Storage Magical Artifact that was always with him and place it on his chest. The Bow Lady rested quietly inside.

He was still hundreds of miles from the Golden Thread Pavilion. Getting any closer would have been too risky, so arriving here undetected via vessel teleportation was the absolute limit.

Now that he was here, Yang An’s next consideration was how to infiltrate the Golden Thread Pavilion.

First, he needed to understand the current situation within the Golden Thread Pavilion. The best method was to find one of its members, have the Bow Lady devour their soul, and thereby learn about the Pavilion’s latest news and movements.

Only after he understood the Golden Thread Pavilion’s current situation could Yang An proceed with confidence.

However, with the Golden Thread Pavilion and the Great Virtue Temple currently at war, most of their personnel had likely been dispatched to the front lines. Finding a member of the Pavilion around here wouldn’t be easy.

"What’s your plan, you little brat?"

The Bow Lady was also curious about Yang An’s next move.

Yang An mulled it over for a moment and quickly formed a plan.

That night, at the Golden Thread Pavilion Floating Island, a large squad of people descended from the island and flew south.

Every member of this group had a Zombie God Cultivation Level.

"Hurry up! This is a rare chance for us to earn some merit. Those bald donkeys from the Great Virtue Temple actually dared to trespass on Golden Thread Pavilion territory. We have to catch that guy!"

The leader shouted excitedly, urging those behind him to move faster.

Although many of the sect’s members had been dispatched to the battlefield, surveillance within their sphere of influence had not been relaxed. In fact, the more intense the war became, the more strictly they guarded their territory. They had to prevent the people from the Great Virtue Temple from creating a diversion to launch a sneak attack on the Pavilion’s core.
