Tongyan left, disappearing before Su Han's eyes, with no knowledge of when they might et again.
Su Han's heart was filled with regret—regret that he hadn't told her, "I like you," just monts before.
In battle, Su Han feared neither Life and Death, daring to fight against the heavens. But when it ca to matters of the heart, he was like a novice, hesitant and lost.
But it was too late to say anything now. Tongyan had already departed, and she wouldn't have heard him even if he had spoken.
Next ti we et, I will definitely tell you that I like you!
Su Han silently made a resolution, not wanting to miss out on this affection. So people and so opportunities, once missed, are gone for a lifeti. He did not want to carry such a regret.
"Xing Kui told you like Miss Tongyan?" Unbeknownst to Su Han, Saint You Heng had returned. He appeared beside him, speaking as if he had long been aware of what was between them.
Xing Kui was none other than Elder Kui, who had once accompanied Tongyan to the Tianqing Dynasty and witnessed the very beginning of Su Han's rise.
"Yes, I like her!" Having already missed one opportunity, Su Han refused to miss another. Faced with Saint You Heng's question, he admitted it without hesitation.
"It's clear Miss Tongyan likes you very much too, but it will be extrely difficult for the two of you to be together." Saint You Heng was a man of the world and had long since noticed the subtle emotions between Su Han and Tongyan.
He knew more of the truth, however, and understood just how cruel reality could be. Still, he thought highly of Su Han and decided to offer him so guidance.
Suddenly, Saint You Heng asked, "Do you know who Miss Tongyan's mother is?"
Tongyan had ntioned that she was to cultivate in a Blessed Land according to her mother's arrangents. Lost in the sorrow of their parting, Su Han hadn't considered the statent's significance at the ti, but it now struck him as profoundly revealing.
What exactly is a Blessed Land? Tongyan's mother was able to arrange for her to train there, and it seed to have been planned long ago. Tongyan is a scion of the Myriad Treasures Pavilion, but her status must be higher than the others; otherwise, Saint You Heng would never have been moved to act. Such an exceptional status implies an extraordinary background. Recalling his own escape back to the Eastern Region, a guess instantly ford in Su Han's mind.
Seeing the change in Su Han's eyes, Saint You Heng knew he had guessed correctly. He nodded and revealed the secret outright.
"Miss Tongyan's mother is none other than Empress Duobao!"
As I thought! Su Han drew a sharp breath. Saint You Heng's words had confird his suspicion.
I never would have thought Tongyan had such an illustrious origin, with a mother in the Great Emperor Realm. She's a true Emperor's Daughter! It was no wonder Empress Duobao had acted against Kun Jing Great Emperor to save him. The puzzle was finally solved.
"Miss Tongyan's true identity is known only to the upper echelons of the Myriad Treasures Pavilion. The rest are unaware, and this is also a form of training for her."
"Originally, Miss Tongyan should have gone to the Blessed Land to cultivate after the scion competition, but it was delayed because of the opening of the East Sea Dragon Palace Ruins."
Saint You Heng spoke again, revealing so secrets to Su Han.
No wonder the other scions weren't fawning all over her. She was essentially traveling incognito. Not many people must know this secret, so for Saint You Heng to tell is a true exception.
"What is a Blessed Land?" Su Han asked.
Saint You Heng didn't hold back and began to explain.
"The Supre Cave Mansions, Saint Secret Realms, and Great Emperor's Void Realms in this world are all man-made. Take the Supre Cave Mansion you once visited and these Dragon Palace Ruins, for example. However, there are also special domains born directly from heaven and earth, teeming with boundless natural fortune."
"Within the Desolate Heavenly Ancient Realm, there are thirty-six Blessed Lands and seventy-two Cave-Heavens. All are places of fortune born from the world itself, containing countless opportunities. It's even possible to find Divine dicine within them."
Saint You Heng's explanation astonished Su Han. He hadn't realized the Blessed Lands and Cave-Heavens had such incredible origins. It seed that Tongyan going to a Blessed Land to cultivate was an imnse stroke of luck.
"Among the five Great Domains of the Desolate Heavenly Ancient Realm, the Central Plains have the most Blessed Lands and Cave-Heavens. Our Eastern Region has only three Blessed Lands and seven Cave-Heavens. The one Miss Tongyan is headed to this ti is one of our three great ones: the Spirit Void Blessed Land!"
"Miss Tongyan possesses the Qi Holy Body and is born with great Destiny. These lands of fortune are the best places for her to cultivate. When you next et, don't be surprised if she has already achieved Instant Sanctification."
Saint You Heng spoke again, informing Su Han of Tongyan's destination.
Spirit Void Blessed Land! Su Han committed the na to mory, resolving to venture there himself if the opportunity ever arose.
"Young man, you must seize this chance," Saint You Heng said encouragingly. "The Head Pavilion Master knows about what is between you and Miss Tongyan, but she hasn't expressed an opinion yet. Regardless, Miss Tongyan is the daughter of a Great Emperor. If you wish to be with her, you must demonstrate sufficient strength." Saint You Heng truly thought highly of Su Han and hoped this would motivate him to climb to the peak of Martial Arts.
"Thank you for clarifying things, Saint. But why did you choose to tell these secrets?" Su Han asked, bowing in gratitude. Without Saint You Heng's words, learning Tongyan's identity and destination would have been nigh impossible.
Saint You Heng laughed and clapped Su Han on the shoulder. "Because I want to invest in you!"
He didn't try to hide his motives. "You have imnse potential and a limitless future. You need help now, and by investing early, I stand to gain a return later on. It's just another form of business."
Just like Tongyan, Saint You Heng laid his intentions bare. This in itself was a show of goodwill. For a monstrous genius like Su Han, sincerity was more important than anything else.
Su Han nodded in understanding and did not refuse. Although he had the Devouring Heaven Demonic Art as a trump card, he was still weak and had not yet truly co into his power. He needed help to grow stronger.
"Saint You Heng," Su Han said directly, "I've collected many spoils of war and would like to exchange them for a large amount of Spirit Gold. It would be even better if you have any Holy Gold."
His Sacred Body had already reached Great Accomplishnt, and he faced no bottlenecks in his Realm for the ti being. The bottleneck for his Black Blade, however, would be difficult to overco anyti soon. Therefore, his thoughts turned to the Great Luo Golden Body. He still only had one hundred twenty-eight Great Luo Golden Bones, a number that was far from Perfection.
If he could cultivate the Great Luo Golden Body and combine it with his Great Accomplished Holy Body, his Physical Body would far surpass that of his peers.
"I do have a piece of Holy Gold, but I can't sell it to you directly. An auction will be held in ten days. You can participate in the bidding then and see if there are any other treasures you need."
Su Han nodded, agreeing to the path Saint You Heng had laid out.
Tongyan, I will work hard to beco strong. Then, I will stand before you and say, "I like you!"
