Chapter 125: Needle in a Haystack
Bei Mingxin spoke, "This Divine Formless Jade, was obtained thirty-seven thousand years ago by our Law Enforcement Temple."
The Seal God Palace frowned.
These were all top-secret matters of the Supreme Sect.
He couldn't understand why Bei Mingxin was telling him all this and why he needed his help. Why not ask Ren Zhongyuan for assistance?
"Please enlighten me, Elder."
Bei Mingxin sighed and explained, "Let me clarify. When the Supreme Sect first obtained the... opportunity, the stars shifted, and many divine formless jade and metals fell from the sky. You know about this, right?")
"Yes, there have been occasional falls from the starry sky in recent years."
"Indeed, but what you don't know is that among them was the Divine Formless Jade. It's the kind with absolutely no attributes, usable by anyone, a high-level divine item."
Bei Mingxin continued, "At that time, we didn't have Heaven's Fortune or National Fortune, so these items were all offered at the Headquarters, absorbing human luck."
"Later, one piece ended up in the hands of this Elder, establishing an unparalleled reputation that dominated the world. But this time, his revival was incomplete, his soul was stripped, his divine avatar perished, his Sea of Consciousness dried up, and the Divine Formless Jade, which was originally one with his divine consciousness, became completely ownerless."
"The moment the divine avatar was destroyed, the Divine Formless Jade, now without an owner, disconnected from divine consciousness and teleported randomly, disappearing to an unknown location."
Bei Mingxin's expression was one of speechless frustration.
"So the Headquarters contacted our Law Enforcement Temple because this Divine Formless Jade was originally offered at our temple. But it's been thirty-seven thousand years since then, and even if we offered it back then, how much resonance could we possibly have now?"
"The divine power within the Law Enforcement Temple was mobilized to search, and even after exhausting all efforts, we can only provide an approximate location."
The Seal God Palace asked, "An approximate location?"
"Yes, within a three-thousand-li radius of Baiyun Zhou."
Bei Mingxin gave a bitter smile.
"How big is the item?"
"It shouldn't be larger than a fingertip."
"Is there a way to pinpoint its location or sense it?"
"No! There's absolutely no way. If there was, why would I be asking you for help?"
The Seal God Palace covered his forehead, at a loss for words.
Finding a fingertip-sized object within a three-thousand-li radius of Baiyun Zhou was like searching for a needle in a haystack.
Moreover, they didn't know if it was on the surface or underground, making the task even more challenging.
(For those who may not grasp the concept of a three-thousand-li radius, it equates to approximately 176,000 square kilometers. As we all know, the total area of our country is 9.6 million square kilometers. Hopefully, this provides some perspective.)
Seeing the Seal God Palace's expression, Bei Mingxin couldn't help but feel a mix of amusement and exasperation.
He was well aware of the difficulty of this task.
Furthermore, his nephew had just offended the Seal God Palace.
If it weren't for his coincidental arrival today, the Unified Heart Sect might have already been in chaos.
The timing was indeed critical.
Just when he needed the help of the Seal God Palace, and Ren Zhongyuan was someone he supported...
Bei Mingxin felt rather embarrassed.
The Seal God Palace, who had been feeling depressed, now experienced a complete turnaround.
His face was filled with worry, but his heart felt refreshed.
You need my help?
Then this matter... wouldn't it be easy to handle? Setting aside whether or not I can fulfill your request... but this attitude alone is enough for me to take advantage of for several months.
The Seal God Palace appeared dejected and troubled, but his mind was already plotting how to eliminate Ren Zhongyuan and his followers.
Bei Mingxin had said that their two families hadn't reached that point yet.
But how could the Seal God Palace believe him? On the surface, he seemed to trust Bei Mingxin completely, but in reality, his vigilance was even higher than before!
The intent to kill was even stronger! Ren Zhongyuan was undoubtedly doomed!
However, he couldn't die before the Incubation and Deification Plan.
But his followers would be eliminated one by one!
By dragging out the time, the dull blade would slowly cut the flesh, making it easier to control.
With these thoughts in mind, he spoke with a pensive tone, "What does Elder Bei need us to do?"
Bei Mingxin replied, "As far as I know, the Elder's divine avatar was destroyed before the new students of Baiyun Wuyuan entered the academy. Based on this, we can deduce that when the Elder's divine avatar was destroyed, the new students at Baiyun Wuyuan were not yet qualified to take on missions. In other words, the divine avatar was destroyed within Baiyun Wuyuan."
"At that time, the Elder's divine consciousness was in chaos, unable to control anything, and only the divine avatar had some thoughts. Therefore, the Divine Formless Jade must have been teleported randomly during that time."
"From this, we can conclude that it might be within Baiyun Wuyuan, or it might be anywhere in Baiyun Zhou. This area is of utmost importance."
The Seal God Palace nodded silently.
"But be cautious. Since the last trace of the divine avatar was destroyed in a violent manner, when searching for the Divine Formless Jade, there must be no high-level killing intent. Otherwise, the Formless Jade will teleport randomly to escape!"
Bei Mingxin said, "Elder, this... how can we find it?"
Bei Mingxin spread his hands helplessly, "So, I don't know either.
"Seal God Palace, with a distorted face, asked, "Then, what shape is this Divine Formless Jade?"
Bei Mingxin spread his hands again, "I don't know either. No one knows!"
Seal God Palace: "..."
Bei Mingxin's expression turned bitter, "So, I still need to ask the Grandmaster for more help."
Seal God Palace waved his hands repeatedly and shook his head, "Elder Bei, you're just here to make things difficult for me. How can we find it? We can't sense it, don't know what it looks like, and don't know where it is. It's within a three-thousand-li radius of White Cloud Continent, Elder Bei, you should know how big an area that is, right?"
He frowned and grimaced, "Even if it's like finding a needle in the ocean, we at least know it's a needle and what it looks like. But this piece of jade is the size of a fingertip, and we don't even know what it looks like. This is even harder than finding a needle in the ocean!"
"How can we find it?"
Bei Mingxin was also helpless.
If he had a choice, he wouldn't have come to Seal God Palace.
It was a favor he didn't want to owe.
But this task was a dead weight from the Supreme Sect.
"Anyway, we must do our best."
Bei Mingxin said, "Everyone knows that the Grandmaster has great influence in White Cloud Continent, and there's an insider among the higher-ups. It won't be difficult to find these things."
Seal God Palace showed his teeth, "My White Cloud Continent Branch was just wiped out by the White Cloud Martial Academy and the Palace Guardian. Ren Zhongyuan just came to trouble me, wasn't it for this?"
"..."
Bei Mingxin's teeth ached.
Why was everything so urgent?
"There are also the shops below."
Bei Mingxin kept persuading, "Grandmaster, this is a major matter for the Supreme Sect. Once it's found, it will be a great achievement for you! And I, Bei Mingxin, won't be vague about this matter."
"The most crucial thing is that the Divine Formless Jade must be found as soon as possible. If it's not found within a certain period, and someone gets it and resonates with their divine consciousness, it will be like a stone sinking into the ocean, never to be retrieved again!"
Finally, Seal God Palace frowned and agreed, "Elder Bei, I can only say that I'll mobilize all forces to search, but I can't guarantee success."
"For this matter, we also need the help of the Night Demon, Brightness, Three Saints, and Heavenly Deity, who are in White Cloud Continent."
"I've already asked the other four, you're the last one."
Bei Mingxin sighed inwardly.
If they could do it, why would he have to come to Seal God Palace?
It was precisely because they couldn't find it.
Moreover, whenever these sects had issues in White Cloud Continent, they all came to Seal God Palace for help.
Could they be the same?
"Alright. The Unified Heart Sect will do our best."
Seal God Palace agreed and then spoke seriously, "Elder Bei, I have one request."
"Please speak."
Mingxin's face darkened, prepared for a potential blow.
He knew what Seal God Palace's request would be.
"If something happens to the Unified Heart Sect in the future..."
Seal God Palace said gravely, "I hope that Elder Bei will remain impartial."
Bei Mingxin readily agreed, "As long as Ren Zhongyuan remains, Bei Mingxin is deeply grateful!"
"A promise is a promise!"
...
"Wood Venerable, pass the order."
Immediately, Seal God Palace issued the command.
All members of the Unified Heart Sect near White Cloud Continent received the same order: to collectively search for a piece of jade the size of a fingertip.
All shops were instructed to acquire such jade, and hidden agents were also instructed to keep an eye out.
The message was also passed to the insider in the White Cloud Martial Academy, who was to secretly watch for similar jade within the academy.
Inside the academy, all those eligible to possess communication jade plates received the same order.
However, Seal God Palace also kept a close eye on the situation.
This move made Bei Mingxin's eyes light up.
"Once it's found, Elder Bei will need to verify it."
"Of course."
Bei Mingxin's face turned pale, "I'm the Law Enforcement Head. Only I can identify this jade. It must be verified with my Law Enforcement Head seal... Alas, that's also why I had to come this time."
Bei Mingxin's sigh was filled with mixed emotions.
Seal God Palace also sighed, "But after this, these lines will need to be rebuilt."
Bei Mingxin also realized this, "The Guardian might not be able to find it."
Seal God Palace chuckled and said lightly, "Elder Bei, do you interact less with the Guardian now? Or, do you not want to owe this favor?"
Bei Mingxin sighed, "I spoke out of turn."
Seal God Palace's expression turned solemn, "For the grand cause of the Divine Sect, my Unified Heart Sect... Alas!"
He sighed on his face.
But his heart didn't feel much.
The command sent by Mu Lin Yuan was for the shops originally under the White Cloud Continent Branch. Seal God Palace wouldn't feel any pain even if they were wiped out.
The Night Demon wanted it? Hmph... Let's see how they rebuild later.
How could they protect them now because of a Night Demon?
After this task, it was time to purge them. Let the Guardian handle it.
Using so many people, Bei Mingxin owed a huge favor.
...
Fang Che also received this order and immediately widened his eyes in surprise, "What does this mean?"
