Chapter 913: Half an Hour | Red Heart Survey [Translation]
Red Heart Survey [Translation] - Updated on April 17, 2025
Compared to the white elephant king’s fury, Ding Jingshan remained calm.
“Then you must exert yourself. Since you know Jiang Wang has already fled, you should also be aware that your means of sealing off communication are useless. Jiang Wang is now reporting to other regions, and reinforcements will arrive soon.”
He looked at the white elephant king and, only then revealing a hint of menace, said, “You’d best sink the floating island and kill this old man within half an hour. Otherwise, consider which sea nests you’ll have to abandon!”
The white elephant king sneered, “Then let’s see! Give me a full assault!”
Within the Maze Realm, directions are chaotic and ever-changing.
Though the human and sea races each have their own regional markers, these regions themselves are constantly shifting. However, the changes usually occur as entire blocks, which is why they can be divided into regions.
For example, the human race uses the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches to mark different regions, trying to find the pattern of regional changes, but after so many years, they have not succeeded.
Both the human and sea races acknowledge the randomness of this movement.
According to the situation before the last change, the region closest to Dingwei was Bingchen.
In that region, the ratio of floating islands to sea nests is three to two, and the human race there has the ability to send troops to assist.
Regardless of how Jiang Wang seeks help, it will take at least half an hour from receiving the message to organizing troops to cross regions.
Therefore, Ding Jingshan said the white elephant king had better hurry.
He hoped to force the white elephant king to retreat with the pressure of reinforcements.
But the white elephant king was also determined this time, vowing to command the remaining four military formations, break through Dingwei floating island, and kill Ding Jingshan within half an hour.
At the same time, he wanted Yu Siqing to successfully hunt down Jiang Wang within this half hour.
He had originally acknowledged Jiang Wang as a prodigy, but he didn’t truly believe he could compare to those blessed by destiny. The grand display he put on was more to shirk responsibility in front of the Blood King.
But now, Ding Jingshan went to such great lengths to cover Jiang Wang’s escape, making Shui Yingrong’s words more credible.
One man’s hero is another’s enemy.
The more the human race values him, the sooner the sea race should eliminate him!
At this time, Jiang Wang and Chu Mi had quietly left the battlefield.
Almost as soon as they were out of sight of the sea race army, Jiang Wang burst into full speed.
The Secret Art of Chasing the Wind was instantly activated.
In the Cloud Top Celestial Palace, spell energies surged, making each step feel like walking on flat ground, flying as if strolling… Ascending to the clouds in a single stride!
Moreover, Chu Mi, perched on the beam of the house, was hidden at his side, further increasing his speed by as much as forty percent.
Jiang Wang didn’t know if the sea race had discovered his escape, or if they were catching up. But he was very clear about the predicament Dingwei floating island now faced. Ding Jingshan and Fu Yanqing had done everything they could, but in a situation of absolute weakness, they couldn’t have too much hope.
He had to cherish every moment of escape, and before the white elephant king reacted, escape as far as possible, preferably directly to Bingchen region.
The three floating islands in Bingchen region, one belongs to Yanggu, one belongs to a small sect of the Near Sea Islands, and one belongs to Jueming Island. This is what is marked on the geomantic compass.
Even without mentioning the connections he had shown at Tianya Platform, based solely on his status in Qi, the other party would certainly not stand idly by.
A full quarter of an hour of ultra-high-speed flight left Chu Mi amazed. The sophistication of Jiang Wang’s escape technique was beyond doubt, and the vastness of his Dao Yuan was something he had never seen in other Internal View cultivators.
After erecting the Star Light Holy Tower in the distant starry sky, the Star Tower echoes the Isolated Heavenly Island, completely consolidating its position, and there is no longer any danger of being lost in the Five Viscera Sea, thus liberating a large amount of Dao Yuan that supports the Isolated Heavenly Island. This is one of the reasons why Outer Building cultivators have so much more Dao Yuan.
But this Jiang Wang, as if he didn’t need to support the Isolated Heavenly Island, his Dao Yuan was surging and never-ending.
And that geomantic compass further verified his extraordinary background.
The directions within each region of the Maze Realm are reversed and chaotic, but the changes of the entire Maze Realm are movements of the regions as a whole.
The history of a long time ago has only sporadic records, and they are hidden very deep, and it is difficult to see them casually. Many experts speculate that there were two peerless powerhouses fighting here, shattering the rules of this world, and creating such a chaotic Maze Realm. A more widespread saying is that this battle was the battle between the Human Emperor and the Dragon Emperor in the ancient times.
In such a chaotic world, maze crystals are materials used to rebuild order.
The human race wants to establish the order of the present world in the Maze Realm, while the sea race wants to establish the order of the sea.
Floating islands and sea nests are the efforts of the two races.
In this chaotic land, Outer Building cultivators can only roughly judge their location through their perception of the distant starry sky. After each regional change, they need to collect information again.
The geomantic compass is different.
The principle of the geomantic compass is actually similar to the connection between the Sea Frontier Chart and the Division Scroll. The geomantic compass itself is connected to the treasure that Jueming Island uses to record the map of the Maze Realm. After each regional change, the marks left by Jueming Island in the explored areas will send information back. This allows the geomantic compass to always point the direction.
Therefore, the geomantic compass is not designed specifically for cultivators below the Outer Building Realm who cannot determine their location. Cultivators above the Outer Building Realm also need the geomantic compass. Even coldly speaking, few cultivators below the Outer Building Realm have value exceeding the geomantic compass.
For any force, in a place like the Maze Realm, maps are definitely the most important intelligence. Obtaining the geomantic compass means that you can grasp the force’s map intelligence in the Maze Realm, and you can also use the geomantic compass to trace back to those hidden marks and easily destroy Jueming Island’s efforts over the years.
The importance of the geomantic compass is evident.
This handsome young man can carry a geomantic compass with him, and his status in Qi must be extraordinary, plus the ring on his finger, the water-attribute treasures hidden on his body… and who knows what good things are in his storage box.
How could he not be a member of the royal family!
“Do you need to rest for a while?” In the fierce wind, Chu Mi said ingratiatingly.
A quarter of an hour had passed, and the effect of the Secret Art of Chasing the Wind had ended. Coupled with the fatigue of the extreme rush, the speed was greatly reduced. That’s why Chu Mi asked this question.
Jiang Wang ignored him, still treading on the azure clouds. Choosing to rest at this time was simply mindless. He was a cultivator who had experienced life and death, not a pampered young master who couldn’t stand hardship.
Chu Mi continued, “Actually, I mean, I have some spiritual medicines here that can boost energy and relieve fatigue.”
“No need.” Jiang Wang would certainly not take his medicine.
If it weren’t for Fu Yanqing’s Life Shadow Pouch, they should have parted ways after escaping the battlefield.
Seeing that Jiang Wang had no interest in communicating at all, Chu Mi finally fell silent. He wasn’t someone who would give up so easily, and he was determined to wait for the situation to ease before trying to build a closer relationship.
Following the markings on the geomantic compass, Jiang Wang went all the way without stopping. He not only had to escape for his own life, but also had to help Dingwei floating island complete their call for help, so he didn’t dare to slack off in the slightest.
But danger came sooner than expected.
While constantly moving forward, Jiang Wang suddenly asked, “Do you hear anything?”
Chu Mi’s voice became flustered, “Don’t move, I’ll help you conceal yourself!”
Jiang Wang pushed him away, “Conceal yourselves separately!”
He simply draped the Stealth Robe over his body, and then remained still.
Chu Mi only glanced at it, and then gave up the idea of helping Jiang Wang conceal his figure. That seamlessness was a treasure he had never seen before. He cursed under his breath at the dog overlord, and immediately cast a secret technique, holding his breath and concentrating.
They had just hidden themselves when that sound, which had been distant and faint, suddenly became intense.
It was a sharp whistling sound rolling in from the far distance!
