Chapter 2000: Jade Sprite of Swift Fire | Red Heart Survey [Translation]
Red Heart Survey [Translation] - Updated on May 2, 2025
Qing Huo Heng was still very much on the right path, not wasting his position as king.
Actually, on the way to the Royal Court, Jiang Wang had always had a doubt – how did the Royal Authority Totem guarantee the Royal Authority?
To know, four years ago, the Qing Huo Tribe’s strength in Fu Lu basically wasn’t in the top hundred. And they had suffered the disaster of the Underground Evil Den, along with the strongest combat power, Qing Huo Gao Chi, being completely wiped out.
How could such a Qing Huo Tribe guard the Royal Authority?
He had just won the life-and-death chess match at the beginning, then was pushed away from the Fu Lu world, and couldn’t research the Royal Authority Totem either.
Now he knew the reason.
The function of the Royal Authority Totem is that it can suppress any Totem.
That is to say, all powerful Totem wielders, when facing the Royal Authority Totem, will all lose their extraordinary power and become ordinary people.
This kind of terrifying effect made Jiang Wang think of the legendary absolute peak divine ability – Heaven and Earth Gate.
The difference is that the Royal Authority Totem is only effective against Totems, while the Heaven and Earth Gate divine ability forbids all extraordinary powers.
The Qing Huo Tribe obtained the Royal Authority Totem, and naturally could suppress the disobedient, truly grasping the hundred years of Royal Authority.
Possessing the Royal Authority Totem, crowned as king, Qing Huo Heng, is, during this hundred-year period, the true common master of the world. Once an order is issued, no tribe in the world dares not follow.
Jiang Wang asked Qing Huo Heng to do two things.
First, exhaustively search the world, pursue and seek clues related to the Extinction Demon Dragon. Including but not limited to: all related dragon traces, all divine teachings and beliefs, all extraterrestrial visitors… regardless of past and present, once discovered, report immediately, and the Dragon Hunting Team will personally go to investigate.
Second, each tribe in the world is to present their history books to the Royal Court, and together inspect history, focusing on exploring the history from one thousand two hundred years ago to one thousand years ago. Seek clues about the Extinction Demon Dragon’s magic weapon. This magic weapon is a fallen Buddhist treasure from the Extinction Demon Dragon, shaped like a copper bowl, inscribed with Sanskrit.
Additionally, there was a third thing, but it was not public.
Speaking of which, the Dragon Hunter, Mr. Zhang Lin Chuan, could also be considered one of the Qing Huo Tribe’s own people. After all, he had the Qing Huo Tribe’s Fire Totem behind him and had learned the Qing Huo Tribe’s Fire Source Map Canon.
Mr. Lin Chuan is quick and eager to learn. After learning the Qing Huo Tribe’s Fire Source Map Canon, he always had it in his heart, wanting to collect the complete Fire Source Map Canons of the thirty-six tribes.
But this actually didn’t need him to say. Qing Huo Heng began doing this the moment he was crowned king and had already completed it early.
Not only that.
The Map Canons of the Gold Tribe, Wood Tribe, Water Tribe, Earth Tribe, Wind Tribe, Thunder Tribe, Plague Tribe… Qing Huo Heng also obtained through various methods, greatly solidifying the foundation of the Qing Huo Tribe.
This is also something every Royal Authority Tribe will do.
Of course, the Map Canons presented by the various tribes, just like when the Qing Huo Tribe passed the law to Jiang Wang, the most core secrets were impossible to hand over. Only the methods for Totem cultivation and strengthening the origin were provided.
Qing Huo Heng offered all of these to Mr. Lin Chuan at once. Jiang Wang was also not stingy, sharing these Map Canons with the members of the Bai Yu Jing early repair meeting. Sometimes they would sit around the furnace, chatting and analyzing the profound meanings together. At the same time, he also personally guided Qing Huo Heng’s cultivation, imparting killing methods, as a return for this offering’s merit.
As the strongest person in the Qing Huo Tribe, second only to Qing Huo Gao Chi at one time, Qing Huo Heng’s cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds after being crowned. He had already far surpassed Qing Huo Gao Chi in the past, almost comparable to the current world’s god-level powerhouses.
But he was only equivalent to a weak god-level. Jiang Wang had killed who knows how many strong god-levels, so guiding him up was without any pressure. In a short time, he greatly increased his combat power.
“Speaking of which, there’s one thing I’m quite curious about.” In the Royal Palace, after guiding the cultivation, Jiang Wang sat down in the pavilion and chatted casually: “The Tribe Chief possessing the Royal Authority Totem, if during the period of enthronement, suppresses and kills other Tribe Chiefs, making them unable to birth strong ones, wouldn’t they be able to always grasp the victory in the life-and-death chess and always continue the Royal Authority?”
Qing Huo Heng’s boiling qi and blood slowly calmed down. His face showed the joy of his cultivation gradually growing, and he seriously explained: “First, in the struggle of life-and-death chess, all races forbid the extraordinary. The gap in strength is very small, and often the Star Generals play the leading role. Second… if the killing is too heavy, and blood stains the Royal Authority, the Royal Authority Totem will also collapse. Furthermore, the Underground Evil Dens are everywhere in Fu Lu, and each tribe needs to have a certain strength to suppress them. If they suppress too much, once the Underground Evil Dens are broken, and the star beasts rush to the ground, that would also be a sin of the Royal Authority and a disaster for the world.”
He added: “In history, the longest to hold the Royal Authority was the Xuan Feng Tribe, who relied on extraterrestrial people to consecutively seize the Royal Authority twice. Only later did they have the tradition of dotting Star Generals… Other Royal Authority Tribes, all cycle every hundred years, and none enjoyed it for long.”
Jiang Wang was thoughtful.
For Totems, the more people cultivate, the more prosperous the origin, and the stronger the feedback it can give to cultivators. So, seemingly ordinary Totems like water, fire, wind, and earth are actually the strongest tribes in Fu Lu.
The rules of life-and-death chess allow the various tribes in Fu Lu to decide the Royal Authority with smaller losses. The Royal Authority Totem ensures the Royal Authority, and there are restrictions that prevent the Royal Authority Tribe from being too wanton.
The cultivation system and operating rules of the entire Fu Lu world should be said to be very positive – and also have very artificial traces.
Before knowing that Wu Han Gong might have remains in Fu Lu, Jiang Wang wouldn’t have thought of these. Now, no matter how he looks at this world, he feels it is bound by some remaining will, and throughout the long history, everything has developed within that binding.
“You still need to help me do one more thing.” Jiang Wang said directly: “I previously heard Qing Huo Qi Ming speak of the creation myth of Fu Lu, but only fragments. I heard him say it was already lost, with remnant pages scattered everywhere. Can you help collect them completely? I want to understand this world better. In this way, perhaps I can grasp where the Extinction Demon Dragon will start.”
Qing Huo Heng had always followed his words. After seeing Mr. Lin Chuan’s friends, he had adjusted his attitude even earlier.
“Seeing the full view of the creation myth is also the wish of how many people in Fu Lu. Even if Mister didn’t say it, as the Royal Authority Tribe Chief, I should also take on this responsibility, and we are also doing it.” Qing Huo Heng said: “However, the collection of remnant pages is all the responsibility of the Wu Zhu. Does Mister want to meet?”
He knew that Mr. Lin Chuan and the previous Wu Zhu, Qing Huo Qi Ming, were very compatible. Qing Huo Qi Ming was weak and introverted, almost never communicating with people, but with Mr. Lin Chuan, he poured out many things from his heart. Now that Mr. Lin Chuan had returned to Fu Lu, he also occasionally mentioned “Qi Ming once said”.
But Qing Huo Qi Ming had also died four years ago.
Because it was a suicide, it was not very glorious, and there was suspicion of being forced to death by clan members. So when he mentioned the Wu Zhu, he was inevitably a bit careful and cautious.
Jiang Wang said: “The Wu Zhu inherits the azure sky above, communicates with the origin of the Totem, and enlightens the wisdom of the people below, managing the smooth wind and rain. The position is lofty, and the matters are heavy and numerous. How can I let him come to see me? I should go to visit.”
Before Jiang Wang initially left, the Qing Huo Tribe had already changed to a new Wu Zhu, and has been hosting the fire shrine until now.
They had also all gone to the life-and-death chess under the hosting of the new Wu Zhu at that time. However, he had almost no interaction with the new Wu Zhu, so of course, there was no friendship or grievance.
Mr. Lin Chuan’s respect for the Wu Zhu is respect for the Qing Huo Tribe.
Qing Huo Heng was very appreciative and eagerly said: “I should personally lead the way for Mister.”
Just as they were about to set off, suddenly a guard came to report –
“The Chief of the Disease Fire Tribe, Zhang, seeks an audience.”
Qing Huo Heng was stunned upon hearing this.
Because the Disease Fire Tribe was not a general tribe.
Before seizing the Royal Authority, among the thirty-six tribes of the fire race, the Qing Huo Tribe ranked thirtieth. The Disease Fire Tribe had never fallen out of the top three of the fire race and was a first-class strong tribe in Fu Lu.
Today, the Qing Huo Tribe is indeed the Royal Authority Tribe, unifying the world, and the Chief of the Disease Fire Tribe can also be considered the strongest vassal under the Royal Authority, and cannot be neglected.
“Quickly invite them in.” Qing Huo Heng instructed, and said to Jiang Wang: “The Disease Fire Tribe is a large clan. The Tribe Chief doesn’t easily come to court. A visit must be for a big matter. Perhaps it is related to the Extinction Demon Dragon. Mr. Lin Chuan may be interested in listening in?”
Jiang Wang then said: “As long as it doesn’t affect the King, that’s fine.”
Not long after, the contemporary Chief of the Disease Fire Tribe gracefully walked closer.
This strong Tribe Chief looked delicate and beautiful, a complete contrast to the rough and mighty Qing Wang.
But when she got close, her fine eyebrows slightly raised, and that kind of life and death aura became almost tangible. “Disease Fire Yu Ling greets the King, and… Mr. Lin Chuan.”
From the name, one could know that this Tribe Chief’s origin was not very good, but she could actually bear the current position, controlling a large clan that could be counted in the Fu Lu world. One didn’t know how much hardship she had experienced along the way.
“We and the Disease Fire Tribe are like breathing the same air and sharing branches. My friendship with the Chief of the Disease Fire Tribe is thick. Why do we need guards? Dismiss them all!” Qing Wang waved his hand, dismissing the surrounding guards, and then invited Disease Fire Yu Ling to sit.
Disease Fire Yu Ling sat down beside the stone table, with the three of them forming a tripod.
Qing Wang first asked: “Chief of the Disease Fire Tribe, your visit this time, is it about news of the Extinction Demon Dragon?”
“Once the King’s order is down, my clan naturally has no reason to be slack. Moreover, the extinction of the Demon Dragon is the common responsibility of the world. How can the Disease Fire Tribe stand aside? We have already exhaustively searched the four directions, and once there is news, we will immediately report it with a flying eagle.” Disease Fire Yu Ling said, then changed her words: “But my visit this time is actually to visit Mr. Lin Chuan.”
She looked at Qing Wang, then at Jiang Wang, her voice softening: “It just so happens that Mister is also here. I wonder if it’s convenient for a private talk?”
Jiang Wang didn’t mind.
Qing Wang was also very straightforward. He stood up and walked away: “This king will go to discuss matters. This place will be left to the two of you!”
Disease Fire Yu Ling stood up to courtesy him off: “Yu Ling is being impolite.”
If she secretly sought to see the person from the blue sky, that would only cause suspicion. Instead, coming so openly, facing the Qing Wang in the Royal Palace and speaking of matters, left the Qing Wang with no reason to scheme.
Seeing Disease Fire Yu Ling sit back down, Jiang Wang said with a smile: “Does the Tribe Chief have any instructions?”
Disease Fire Yu Ling’s expression was sorrowful, evoking pity: “Yu Ling is here to ask.”
Jiang Wang was unperturbed: “Oh?”
Disease Fire Yu Ling said: “May I ask Mr. Lin Chuan, do you know Jiang Wu Xie?”
Unexpectedly, the Ninth Prince of Great Qi actually had his true name circulating in the Fu Lu world. Jiang Wang’s expression didn’t change: “Consider it knowing. How?”
At the beginning of the life-and-death chess, Jiang Wu Xie just represented the Disease Fire Tribe to fight, but in the encounter battle with Lei Zhan Qian, they were completely wiped out. So, later on, Jiang Wang didn’t know to what extent Jiang Wu Xie was operating within the Disease Fire Tribe. Today, the Chief of the Disease Fire Tribe personally came, which seemed not simple…
Disease Fire Yu Ling looked into his eyes and seriously asked: “Before leaving, he left me a letter, saying that he is the Ninth Prince of the Great Qi Empire in the present world, and that the Qi Country is a world hegemon. Is that true?”
Jiang Wang’s expression became strange: “Unexpectedly, he even told you this.”
“Don’t be afraid of Mister laughing.” Disease Fire Yu Ling was obviously much softer: “I and Jiang Lang pledged our lives to each other four years ago and have already had the reality of husband and wife.”
Jiang Wang blinked his eyes.
Lei Zhan Qian had his own charm, making Chi Lei Yan of the Chi Lei Tribe unforgettable for him, even wanting to wait for him for a hundred years.
But compared to that, the Ninth Prince’s skills were much higher.
In the life-and-death chess, he didn’t show off, but he completely enchanted the Chief of the Disease Fire Tribe. This Disease Fire Yu Ling might not be a simple character! Her cultivation is absolutely not inferior to Qing Wang after obtaining the Royal Authority Totem! And she can lead a large clan and contend with all the clans in the world. Her means and insight are all top-notch.
What virtue and ability did Jiang Wu Xie have? Just relying on good looks?
Remembering how that guy was surrounded by women in Lin Zi City, Jiang Wang felt a bit of a toothache and wanted to say something.
But Disease Fire Yu Ling said again: “I know Jiang Lang has many women in the present world. He didn’t hide it from me. His true heart for me, I feel it. I know he will love many people, but he will definitely love me the most.”
Good Jiang Wu Xie!
Jiang Wang was speechless. Then he asked: “So, Tribe Chief came here today just to confirm that he didn’t deceive you?”
Disease Fire Yu Ling took out a piece of jade jue, placed it in her palm, and showed it to Jiang Wang: “When Jiang Lang left, he gave me his body’s jade jue, saying that if one day I encounter any danger, anyone who saves me can rely on this jade jue to get his friendship.”
Jiang Wang glanced at it and knew that this jade was indeed a fine product of the Great Qi imperial family, extremely precious.
Jiang Wu Xie was flirtatious, but seeking pleasure also truly cost him blood capital.
The friendship of the Foster Heart Palace Lord, only in the present world, did he know its weight.
Jiang Wang was very convinced and also understood Disease Fire Yu Ling’s intention for coming.
Then he asked: “Do you feel that you will encounter danger?”
If there were any matters within the Disease Fire Tribe, considering Jiang Wu Xie, it wasn’t impossible to take action.
Disease Fire Yu Ling put away the jade jue and sighed: “The Royal Authority Tribe Chief has transmitted orders to all directions, saying there is a Demon Dragon Extinction. I am uneasy. If that day truly comes –”
Her beautiful eyes held expectation: “I hope Mister can, in consideration of Jiang Lang, help take away my child.”
Jiang Wang’s expression became even stranger: “Jiang Wu Xie’s child?”
Disease Fire Yu Ling shook her head: “Born to me and my former husband. If I can escape this calamity, I really want to have a child for Jiang Lang. To have our child.”
Her constant mention of “Jiang Lang” made Jiang Wang very awkward.
And her love story with Jiang Wu Xie was becoming more and more colorful…
“Don’t worry.” Jiang Wang said seriously: “I will definitely slaughter the Demon Dragon this time and will not let this world suffer a devastating disaster.”
Disease Fire Yu Ling said: “I mean… if there is an ‘in case’.”
Jiang Wang didn’t want to make false promises, because if there was an ‘in case’, it meant he couldn’t leave either. But he also couldn’t show a lack of confidence in front of the Chief of such a strong tribe as the Disease Fire Tribe. In the cage fight with Ao Kui, he still needed their help very much.
“What a poor world of parents’ hearts!” Jiang Wang said lightly but firmly: “But I absolutely will not make this preset. This is a struggle that gambles on the lifelong reputation of me, Zhang Lin Chuan. I do not consider any option other than winning.”
Disease Fire Yu Ling completely felt Mr. Lin Chuan’s determination, and her words were more sincere: “Please let my daughter accompany and serve the king. If the king is unfortunate, my daughter will follow him. If the king has spare power, then lend a hand, okay?”
Jiang Wang never expected that one day he would have to raise a child for Jiang Wu Xie.
The opponent had put her words to this extent, and he could only say: “If you are really not at ease, then let her stay by my side for a few days. When the Demon Dragon is slaughtered, you can pick her back for a reunion.”
Disease Fire Yu Ling repeatedly thanked him: “My daughter has already been brought outside the palace and will be sent to your residence later. Regarding all your strategies for dealing with the Extinction Demon Dragon, the Disease Fire Tribe will definitely cooperate completely! Searching history from above and searching the eight wastes from below, we will spare no effort. Furthermore…”
She said slightly sadly: “If you return to your world, please tell Jiang Lang that I am thinking of him. I will wait for him.”
This kind of infatuated appearance really made people feel pity.
When he returned, he really wanted to ask Teacher Qin Lian, who was the woman Jiang Wu Xie loved the most?!
After Disease Fire Yu Ling’s figure disappeared, Jiang Wang was just about to go to the fire shrine to look at the creation book when he suddenly realized why he felt something was not quite right –
Although his statement about the Extinction Demon Dragon had truth and falsehood, a beginning and an end, and the seal of the Qi Huo Ru Shi Bowl was indeed very convincing.
But after all, the Fu Lu world is a world with a long history, with its own civilization inheritance, and it has experienced many big winds and waves.
Whether Qing Wang was based on previous good cooperation, or purely felt his strength, or was half-believing and half-doubting and had to follow, it all counted as reasonable.
But what about Disease Fire Yu Ling?
As the Chief of a strong tribe like the Disease Fire Tribe, with a foundation far surpassing the Qing Huo Tribe, her vision should also be stronger than the Qing Wang who had only been enthroned for a few years… Why was Disease Fire Yu Ling so pessimistic?
Not only did she cooperate with the Royal Authority beyond the duty of a vassal, but she also started entrusting her child before even seeing the face of the so-called Demon Dragon!
