βThat woman successfully broke through to the Emperor Realm half a month ago. The commotion she caused on that day was huge.β Xia Shengβs expression was solemn.
Based on Bian Yu Qingβs aptitude, the possibility of a breakthrough was very slim even if she could enter the Spirit Lake Palaceβs Heaven Grade cultivation room for two months of secluded retreat; after all, her inherent talent in the Martial Dao was not that great, and she had been stuck in the Dao Source Realm for so many years. All her passion had been withered away, and she lost her drive to move forward. How could a person like that achieve a breakthrough? Third-Order Dao Source Realm should have been the pinnacle she could reach in her life if nothing unexpected happened.
In any case, it was a happy occasion as it meant that High Heaven Palace had another Emperor Realm Master added to its ranks.
βShe has been consolidating her cultivation for the past half a month and should be able to leave in a few days,β Xia Sheng smiled lightly. As one of the three Deacons of Spirit Lake Palace, he was very familiar with Bian Yu Qingβs situation. Even if she was not somebody Yang Kai had brought over, he would have extended a helping hand to her somehow given her situation.
βJunior Brother, do you have anything going on in the near future?β Xia Sheng suddenly changed the subject and asked.
βStar Soul Palaceβ¦β Although Xia Sheng was stunned by those words, he did not question Yang Kai about the reason he was heading to Star Soul Palace and instead just pondered for a moment before asking, βHow long will it take?β
βIn that case, there will be just enough time,β he grinned and continued, βI would like you to do me a favour, Junior Brother. Do you have the time?β
However, instead of explaining, Xia Sheng turned his head to look in the direction of the private room behind them and said, βXiao Hua, come on out. You are also acquainted with Junior Brother Yang, so stop hiding away.β
This lady was none other than the Palace Master of Hundred Flowers Palace, Hua Yu Lu. Just a few days ago, they had greeted each other at Azure Sun Temple, so Yang Kai had not expected to meet her here again. Hua Yu Lu had inquired about Xia Sheng that day, and from the looks of it, she had headed to Spirit Lake Palace directly after she left Azure Sun Temple.
[A man and a woman togetherβ¦ interesting!] Yang Kaiβs expression suddenly became meaningful.
βPalace Master Hua is being too polite.β Yang Kai quickly replied to her with due courtesy. Putting aside the fact that her cultivation realm was similar to his, they were both Palace Masters of their respective Sects. However, her unclear relationship with Xia Sheng was enough to make Yang Kai a bit uncomfortable with her overly polite behaviour. As such, he quickly turned to look at Xia Sheng, βSenior Brother, could it be that the favour you wanted to ask of me is related to Palace Master Hua?β
Hua Yu Lu nodded lightly, parting her luscious lips slightly as she slowly explained, βItβs like thisβ¦ When I went to the Southern Swamp to look for spirit medicines three months ago, I stumbled upon an Ancient Cave Mansionβ¦β
βYes,β she nodded, βIt was undoubtedly an Ancient Cave Mansion; moreover, it gave off an extremely desolate aura. I donβt know who it originally belonged to, but three people, including myself, ventured inside to explore it at the time. Although we tried all means to break the barrier that had been in disrepair for so many years and managed to gain some benefits from our endeavours, we were eventually blocked by a stronger single barrier deeper inside. As a result, we couldnβt enter the inner sanctum.β
To which Hua Yu Lu replied, βThe Southern Swamp might be perilous, but it also has many opportunities. It is said that the Southern Swamp was once a thriving place where ancient cultivators gathered. Thatβs why so many treasures are hidden there. Moreover, it is a special environment that can give birth to various rare spirit medicines. Therefore, many Masters like to explore the Southern Swamp. When the Ancient Cave Mansion appeared, it caused some minor disturbances. Otherwise, I would not have discovered it, and the other two would not have been attracted to it either.β
She then continued, βOf the other two people, one of them had some knowledge about barriers and Spirit Arrays. According to that personβs hypothesis, we wouldnβt have been able to break the barrier blocking our way even if we combined our strengths. Thus, we could only ask others for help. We agreed to each bring a helper and meet up at the Southern Swamp again half a year later.β
Smiling bitterly, she admitted, βAlthough I know many Emperor Realm Masters, not many can truly be trusted.β
βItβs not a big deal. Itβs just exploring an Ancient Cave Mansion.β Yang Kai waved his hand confidently before glancing at Hua Yu Lu, βButβ¦ are you familiar with the other two? Are they trustworthy?β
βI seeβ¦β Yang Kai rubbed his chin and pondered over it.
βIf my guess is right, those two will surely find Second-Order Emperors to help them.β Hua Yu Lu looked at Yang Kai with light in her eyes and added, βIf you have any qualms about this, Elder Yang, you can forget about it. I will think of another way.β
As for Yang Kaiβs strength, Hua Yu Lu had personally witnessed it during the Grand Canonization Ceremony the other day. Yang Kai had even injured an Elder of Star Soul Palace, so despite being injured in the process, his power was certainly not something an average First-Order Emperor Realm could compare to. He should be of equal strength with Xia Sheng at least.
He was clearly worried that Yang Kai might reluctantly accept the request out of respect for him.
Hua Yu Luβs beautiful eyes lit up at those words, βDoes that mean you agree, Elder Yang?β
βWe certainly gained some benefits!β Hua Yu Lu nodded frankly, βEven if you didnβt ask about this, I planned to explain it to you too, Elder Yang. The three of us didnβt manage to explore the inner depths of that Ancient Cave Mansion, but we did manage to break several powerful barriers and reap valuable benefits. This is one of the items I obtained from that cave mansion.β
While speaking, she took out a small flower drum. The small flower drum didnβt seem to be anything special on the outside and was only about the size of a personβs palm, made from some unknown materials; however, an extremely special aura rippled forth the moment it was taken out.
This small flower drum exuded a pure yet desolate aura. It was a genuine Ancient Exotic Artifact, just like the Mountains and Rivers Bell he owned.
It was just that Ancient Exotic Artifacts were too scarce in numbers. Over the past few millennia, the Mountains and Rivers Bell was the only Ancient Exotic Artifact that was well known enough to be recorded in history. Other unknown Ancient Exotic Artifacts might have surfaced during that time, but they surely amounted to less than ten across the entire Star Boundary. And yet, there was now one in Hua Yu Luβs possession!
