Chapter 1870: Going South by Driving the Chariot North is Also Progress | Red Heart Survey [Translation]

Red Heart Survey [Translation] - Updated on May 1, 2025

In the Ten Thousand Gods Sea, the already deceased Xiong San Si was blooming his final radiance. The stone carvings on that mountain wall also happened to open up like flowers.

This plant had three conjoined buds, divided into three colors: yellow, red, and white. Its stamens glowed faintly, like a dream, like an illusion. Lu Qi Lang was inspired and arrived, while Chai A Si stumbled in…

Beside the mountain path, Ling Xi Hua was already intoxicated! Not yet knowing its preciousness, she was already lost in its dream.

And the faith insect that had transformed into the Night Bodhisattva, its eyes shining brightly, pointed with one hand to wake Ling Xi Hua, and reached directly with the other to pick the flower… It wasn’t in vain that the Buddha Master had waited here so bitterly!

At this moment, even Xuan Nan Gong, who was still trying to repair the God King’s body and maintain its balance, turned back through that protector god general!

“San Sheng Lan Yin Hua!” Compared to this flower.

The confrontation happening in the Ten Thousand Gods Sea seemed unimportant.

No matter how God Lin struggled, he was still God Lin. No matter how much face the True Demon lost, he was still the True Demon. From the moment he truly made his move, Quan Ying Yang had not actually suffered a single loss.

He had comprehended the truth of this world, grasped the night of this world, and killed a hundred ways of human race heavenly prides — only the not-old jade pearl hung onto life, not dead, only.

Jiang Wang used all means, both sudden and with Immortal Palace inheritance, and Knowledge Hearing Bell, only managed to bomb off a single drop of his blood.

How to describe the injury of this drop of blood?

— If not treated promptly, the wound would have already healed itself.

Until this moment of the golden spear piercing his abdomen, he truly suffered a great loss! Inherited from the Flying Sword era’s Flying Sword San Jue Feng, once proudly laughing at the firmament.

Only I Sword Dao, the invincible Xiang Feng Qi in the Cave True realm died, and the successor in the Outer Tower Realm, Xu Jian Lao Shan, was still guarding the foundation of his old friend.

Wang Wo Jian Mo was foolishly dazed, occasionally sober. Also not knowing what he was seeking in those occasionally sober moments.

Up to now, it seems only the Wu Wo Jian Dao has walked a new path.

Jiang Meng Xiong broke his sword and practiced his fist, Rao Bing Zhang transformed his fist into a spear. It can be said that mountains and rivers have succession.

This person of course did not have the bravery of the Great Qi War God who challenged the world’s heroes with his fist, but he also walked his own path.

This first dead then hidden Wu Wo Yi Qiang, with Wu Wo continuing Wu Wo, with the end echoing the beginning, was unavoidable. In God Xiao World, he bore Jiang Meng Xiong’s Dao, and also expounded his own Dao.

This spear pierced through the body of the True Demon who had already glimpsed true immortality. First “Wu Wo”, then “Wu Di”, to beat Quan Ying Yang’s “Zhen” into “Jia”, and Quan Ying Yang’s “You” killed into “Wu”. This spear possessed the power to annihilate everything, shattering not only flesh and primordial force, but also all cognition, all existence.

Historian Wu Zhai Xue has a theory — eras constantly perish with the weak, the Flying Sword era uniquely perished with the strong.

Meaning the Flying Sword era was overly sharp and abundant, extreme rigidity self-injured. This era rose like a comet, and also fell like a comet. It only lasted for one hundred and seven years, yet left an indelible splendor in the history books.

In former years, Flying Sword San Jue Feng, the Wu Wo path, one sword horizontal came and the heaven and earth were empty!

Quan Ying Yang and Jiang Wang met in the sky of the Ten Thousand Gods Sea, but before formal contact, his abdomen was already bombed out with a huge cavity.

Body, intent, spirit, all injured!

This time… with his divine soul injured, already forcefully beaten into the Rong Ling Dian by the True Demon primordial spirit, Jiang Wang saw this radiance of a thousand zhang, this spear.

He saw among it the familiar Wu Wo momentum.

He thought of that sentence, “Purple Wu Hills not yet have snow, I have not wielded a spear for thirteen years!” He thought of Ji Zhao Nan, that senior brother lost in the Demon Realm, with only one Shao Hua Qiang left.

He suddenly understood why when the Feng Shen Tai descended two True Demons, only one, Quan Ying Yang, came to chase and kill him.

And re-recognized Xiong San Si. Although Xiong San Si was no longer here!

This was not the time for melancholy thoughts. In battle, Jiang Wang also never missed an opportunity.

Xiong San Si’s last and initial Wu Wo Yi Qiang, in piercing through Quan Ying Yang’s abdomen and trying to annihilate its vitality, also necessarily injured Quan Ying Yang’s primordial spirit!

After God Lin, the power of the divine soul manifests externally in the world, condensed as one, which is Shen Shi. At this point, the divine soul had the power to directly interfere with reality.

After Cave True, with spirit refining god, one had more means of the primordial spirit leaving the body. A thought of the heart, and the heaven and earth turn. But why is the primordial spirit leaving the body often used as a last resort by strong cultivators at the Cave True level, not lightly used?

Because once the primordial spirit goes, the primordial spirit sea is empty. In high-level battles, the divine soul world is almost undefended at this time.

Dealing with Jiang Wang was of course no problem, but there was exactly also Rao Bing Zhang’s suddenly appearing spear.

This moment was like Quan Ying Yang had just mobilized a large army, nested out, and angrily attacked the enemy city. But behind him, a surprise troop had already raided his old nest, setting fire and destroying his home!

At this time, Quan Ying Yang had two choices. Strongly support himself, first exterminate Jiang Wang’s divine soul. Or first return his primordial spirit, remove his hidden danger, and then come to kill the enemy, it would not be late.

In the sky of the Ten Thousand Gods Sea, he grabbed the scattered golden light with one hand, grasped a handful of Dao principles power, probed into the huge cavity in his abdomen, rapidly strangling that rampant spear intent.

And in Jiang Wang’s Rong Ling Dian, the True Demon primordial spirit that had bombed open the gate and rushed into the hall, turned around and walked towards the outside. He made a second…

No, a third choice!

While preparing to return his True Demon primordial spirit, he remotely probed with one hand, grabbing Jiang Wang’s divine soul manifest body. He easily restrained it, instantly applied several secret methods, dragged this divine soul body down from that throne, like dragging a corpse, directly towards the outside!

True Demon Cave World, control everything.

He wanted to hold Jiang Wang’s divine soul again, force him to reveal some human race secrets, force him to reveal techniques like Wen Ting Xian Jing, and he also wanted to fold back into his own body, protecting his own divine soul world under Xiong San Si’s Wu Wo Qiang.

But he was not dragging a corpse. This also should not have been his choice! Jiang Wang had already stayed in the Demon Realm for many days.

He had passed the Spring Festival of the Dao Calendar Year 3922 in the Demon Realm.

He had also passed his twenty-second birthday in the mirror world. Every day in the Demon Realm, he was fighting against the will of heaven!

He created a Dao field inside a snail shell.

He could not leave Mo Yun City, but he also exhausted all possibilities to stir things up within the city. From the three completely different demon races, Chai A Si, Zhu Da Li, and Yuan Lao Xi, he developed three completely different paths, but every path led to a dead end.

He secretly crossed the Chen Cang, hid in the Lian Xi Inn. Yet again, the mountains were heavy and the water was complex, and he returned to the old courtyard of the Chai family. Constantly trying, constantly failing. Constantly failing, and then constantly trying again.

And the wrong path, that is exactly a kind of answer to the so-called will of heaven, the so-called fate!

I am on the wrong path, you have entered the wrong path already!

Am I wrong, or are you wrong! Whose wrong?! Until he entered God Xiao World.

Xing Nian’s scheme, Mi Zhi Ben’s scheme, Lu Xi Ming’s scheme, Ji Xing Kong’s scheme, Chan Fa Yuan’s scheme, Zhu Yi’s scheme, Hu Tai Sui’s scheme, Xuan Nan Gong’s scheme…

And above this, Yuan Xi Da Di and Yu Zhen Da Zu’s dialogue across tens of thousands of years.

And below this, he, Jiang Wang, who was treated as a chess piece but also had his own will, and Xiong San Si, who struggled for survival longer than him, not to mention the True Demon Zhu Xian, Quan Ying Yang, Demon King Yang Yu, Shu Jia Lan, Zhu Lan Ruo, Lu Qi Lang, She Gu Yu, and even Ling Xi Hua!

Tracing back in time, there was still the previous generation Heavenly Demon He Hua Ting.

Looking down, there were still Chai A Si, Zhu Meng Ji, Yu Xin, Zhu Ying and others.

Thousands of threads of clues intertwined, seeming every anchor point entangled countless fate lines. Merely listing these clues makes people dizzy. But they all intertwined, paving a segment of fate’s river!

Who can drive a lonely boat in this river? Time, space, cause and effect.

Every chess piece is the chess player of its own fate. And every so-called “chess player”, how is he not a chess piece of a higher existence?

At that time, Jiang Wang was bathed in blood, crossed over the Heavenly Demon altar, leaped over the bronze great cauldron above that rushing divine fire, rang the Knowledge Hearing Bell yet gained nothing, pointed his sword at the long river of time yet obtained nothing. He had an unprecedented loss and confusion, but also an unprecedented freedom and openness.

He did not say — I am already destined to die, so just do something.

Nor did he say — I have tried all possibilities, but the road ahead is indeed cut off, so just be like this.

But in

That time, he suddenly clearly understood a principle — the road is under your feet.

Could it be that having taken the Knowledge Hearing Bell, the Knowledge Hearing Bell must be responsible for you, Jiang Wang, must certainly respond home?

Could it be that if the Knowledge Hearing Bell cannot find the way home, that road certainly does not exist?

The Knowledge Hearing Bell cannot find the way back, and I also lack enough vision, cannot see far, do not know the direction of home.

But I can see the ground three feet ahead, so I will just walk on this three feet of ground. In limited conditions, do the best choice.

Isn’t it always like this?

Even if in the end it is wrong, but at this moment, who can say I am not advancing? At that moment, the Ten Thousand Gods looked up, and the divine fire was fierce.

In that sky wind, he felt himself in a three-dimensional chessboard, up, down, left, right, and even every diagonal, all densely packed with cause and effect lines.

Pull one hair, move the whole body.

Every choice is related to fate.

He saw “right”, saw “wrong”, and also examined his own “seeing right” and “seeing wrong”. His wrong path already knew it could bloom completely, but the right time was not at that moment.

The premise of taking the wrong path is to be able to recognize the wrong path, understand oneself, cognize right and wrong. He knew that even if the wrong path bloomed, it would be very difficult to shake a True Demon. This was based on a full understanding of Quan Ying Yang. And like Xuan Nan Gong, the Night Bodhisattva on the other mountain path, even less needed to be considered.

In the process of fighting against the will of heaven in the Demon Realm, he gained inspiration —

The will of heaven never specifically points to a certain thing or person, but many coincidences collide together, yet can naturally evolve into a result that is in accordance with the will of heaven.

The wrong path is of course to make an article in the target’s choices, guiding the target towards the wrong choice. But it is not necessarily only applied in this way.

Just like earlier in that inn, he let Chai A Si intentionally look towards the roof before leaving the room, thereby naturally triggering Yuan Meng Ji’s suspicion of the environment, and he again naturally used the wrong path to guide Yuan Meng Ji to investigate under the bed.

Just like when he faced Zhu Lan Ruo multiple times, he did not use the wrong path. Even if he used the wrong path, it should have been very difficult to go beyond Lan Yin Xu Guo. But under his battle pressure, Zhu Lan Ruo had to make a move to graft cause and effect, and even helped him escape death.

These things he was actually always doing.

Only at this moment, this very moment!

At the right time, in the right place, he urged his divine ability! Inside the second inner mansion, that black and white seed slowly bloomed.

Everything was so peaceful, quiet without sound.

Even in the Five Mansions Sea, there were no waves. Even the second inner mansion did not manifest externally, and the divine ability light did not change. Even outside, in the sky of the Ten Thousand Gods Sea, the Great Qi heavenly pride Jiang Qing Yang, who was momentarily stagnant because his divine soul manifest body was captured, was still advancing with inertia.

Silently entering the wrong path, and not knowing that one is on the wrong path.

The wrong path is to let the opponent make a wrong choice among the existing choices. After the wrong path bloomed, it can, however, directly give the target a new choice!

Of course, the success or failure of the divine ability depends on the time, the place, and the person.

At this moment when Quan Ying Yang’s body suffered Xiong San Si’s Wu Wo emitted Cave True One Spear, his primordial spirit was injured, and he urgently wanted to return. Jiang Wang used the wrong path after it bloomed, adding a small choice on top of Quan Ying Yang’s choice to return —

Conveniently restraining his God Lin level divine soul manifest body and taking it away together.

At this time, Quan Ying Yang’s body suffered heavy injury, and as the target Xiong San Si wanted to wipe from “You” to “Wu”, he was still fighting against the power of Xiong San Si’s spear.

This is where the wrong path had effective space.

Of course, the possibility of the wrong path’s success was amplified inside Jiang Wang’s primordial spirit sea. Moreover, this newly added small choice was not dangerous to Quan Ying Yang.

Because his primordial spirit occupied an overwhelming power advantage, he could indeed easily restrain Jiang Wang’s divine soul manifest body, and he did restrain it.

But… gu gu gu, gu gu gu.

Inside the primordial spirit sea, the sound of lonely water echoed.

Just as Quan Ying Yang’s True Demon primordial spirit was dragging Jiang Wang’s divine soul manifest body out of this grand and majestic Rong Ling Dian — from above that door curtain, the sound of water murmured.

A heavenly waterfall descended!

The Bu Lao Quan manifested inside the primordial spirit sea, pouring over Quan Ying Yang’s head and body.

The water flowed rapidly, instantly sweeping him away, pushing him and the Jiang Wang divine soul he was dragging back into the Rong Ling Dian.

Bang! The hall door closed!

The entire Rong Ling Dian was filled with rapid water flow. Quan Ying Yang and Jiang Wang were both lonely boats among it.

The difference was that Jiang Wang’s divine soul manifest body, although restrained by the enemy, was the lord of this water’s seal, the master of the Bu Lao Quan.

With this sudden change, although Quan Ying Yang was still fighting against his injuries, his primordial spirit also reacted in time. With a big wave of his hand, divine thought as a sword, while crushing Jiang Wang’s divine soul, he also prepared to force a breakthrough and return.

But his hand was empty.

Jiang Wang’s divine soul manifest body, before Quan Ying Yang’s divine thought sword struck, had already exploded one step ahead! Quan Ying Yang had added many restrictions to this body, just like a knife on the neck, a lock on the wrist, a prison on the body.

But that bound prisoner… self-destructed.

The thought of pain, the thought of killing the enemy, the thought of seeking life, the thought of home, relatives, and old friends…

That divine soul manifest body, which needed to be completely prepared, exploded into crystal clear thoughts, countless and complex. Thousands of births and deaths in an instant, now all fell here.

Immortal technique · Nian Fa!

In the previous battle, Jiang Wang had used the immortal technique Nian Fa to sit in his ear, solving the most key problem about the medium of the technique in the Wen Ting Xian Dian, reappearing the ear immortal depicted in Wan Xian Lai Zhao.

At this moment, he directly exploded his body into ten thousand thoughts. These countless immortal technique thoughts, all expanded to their limit, bombarded Quan Ying Yang at close range, thereby producing a divine soul attack of a thousand times per thought!

The divine soul of a God Lin cultivator and the primordial spirit of a True Demon were indeed separated by a wall. But ants are many, and they can also bite an elephant to death.

In general times, Jiang Wang himself would not dare to do this.

At the same time that his divine soul manifest body decomposed into countless immortal technique thoughts and all exploded, he would also die with his divine body dissipating.

But at this moment, the Rong Ling Dian became another Bu Lao Quan. The master of the Bu Lao Quan was in the Bu Lao Quan.

What is “bringing the dead back to life, flesh white bones, True Demon also extend years”?

Merely healing injuries and repairing flesh cannot give birth to a “dead person”!

The power that can revive a dead person can simultaneously act on flesh and divine soul.

Just like the first time he was irrigated by the Bu Lao Quan, his blood energy instantly became full, and his divine soul was as before, allowing him to sweep the battlefield and chop and kill the top heavenly pride Zhu Lan Ruo.

Inside this primordial spirit sea that outsiders could not see, inside the Rong Ling Dian. The thousands of immortal thoughts bombarding the True Demon primordial spirit collapsed.

Beyond that, another thousands of immortal thoughts revived. Nearly endless immortal thoughts, tide rising and falling again.

Quan Ying Yang seemed to have fallen into a cycle, passively bearing the bombardment of immortal thoughts infinitely! If this continues, one does not know whether the power of the Bu Lao Quan will be exhausted first, or the True Demon primordial spirit will be empty first. A thought’s difference, entering the wrong path already!
