"Thank you, Young Master!"
Brimming with gratitude and fighting spirit, Yang Ying and Yang Biao took the two Jades and departed.
Only Yang Zhentian, Yun'Er, and Yang Xiao remained in the main hall.
Yun'Er's face was filled with delight.
She held the aquamarine pendant she had just received, looking at it from every angle.
She adored it.
Although Yang Zhentian was also overjoyed, he was, after all, the family head and a Martial Grandmaster Level expert, so he naturally maintained a much calr deanor.
"Xiao'Er, did you make a protective item for yourself?"
He suddenly rembered sothing and asked.
Yang Xiao smiled. "Father, are you worried about my safety? You can rest assured on this point. In the entire Celestial Cloud Region, unless a Martial Saint personally takes action, there's no one who can harm ."
"The Young Master is bragging again," Yun'Er said, pouting cutely.
But Yang Zhentian believed him.
In fact, he felt that Yang Xiao might even be too modest.
'If she has truly returned, then I'm afraid not even a Martial Saint could harm Xiao'Er.'
He had witnessed it back then. With just a single glance, even while heavily injured, she had caused a terrifying Fifth Tier Barbarian Beast to simply explode and die.
She had saved him when he had mistakenly wandered deep into the Celestial Cloud Mountain Range.
That was also when he ca to have Xiao'Er, his child.
However, he didn't expose the truth, and he certainly wouldn't scold a young girl like Yun'Er. The girl's recent transformation had been imnse.
In just half a year, she had broken through from the Seventh Layer of a Martial Artist to the Innate Realm.
Such a terrifying cultivation speed made even Yang Zhentian, who had always considered himself a genius, feel inferior. Back in the day, he had broken through to the Innate Realm at the age of twenty and, full of confidence, left ho to venture into the Celestial Cloud Mountain Range.
Yet he had nearly died there.
If he hadn't t Xiao'Er's mother, he wouldn't be where he was today.
Although his cultivation had been delayed over the years because of Yang Xiao's situation, he had still stepped into the Martial Grandmaster Realm before the age of thirty-six.
In the entire Celestial Cloud Region, that was considered top-tier.
Moreover, with his old internal injuries healed, he would have the chance to advance even further in the future.
Even stepping into the Martial Saint realm wouldn't be a problem.
Yang Zhentian was very confident in his own cultivation.
But seeing a girl like Yun'Er, he still couldn't help but feel outmatched.
Besides, he had always treated the girl like his own daughter, and even Yang Xiao had never treated her as a maid.
If the two of them could end up together, Yang Zhentian would be more than happy to see it.
So, after a hearty laugh, he took his newly acquired Cold Ice Soul-cutting Blade and Defensive Jade and left the hall.
His Jade was sowhat different from the ones the other two had received.
Not only could it activate automatically, but its power was also much greater, and it could be manually activated using the Gang Qi in his body.
Yang Xiao had also inford him of this.
As it was for his own old man, Yang Xiao had naturally made it special.
It wasn't just him. The little aquamarine pendant given to Yun'Er—the girl Yang Xiao valued most, a genius with the potential to achieve the Water Elent Dao Body—was also far from simple.
Yang Xiao had also put in a great deal of effort.
Not only could it be activated six tis, but it also had an additional Condensing Array, which would be of great benefit to Yun'Er's cultivation.
Her cultivation speed was very fast, many tis faster than even Yang Xiao's.
However, this was only the speed of absorbing Primordial Power granted by her Ultimate Spirit Body; refining and polishing it still required her own diligent cultivation.
But with this Condensing Array, the ti Yun'Er needed to spend on condensing and polishing would be reduced by eighty percent.
Her cultivation speed would naturally see another massive boost.
Perhaps in another year or two, she could beco a Martial Grandmaster of her generation.
This was an extrely frightening prospect.
"Young Master, why don't you help put it on?" Yun'Er suddenly asked Yang Xiao, her face bashful now that the master of the house had left.
With the increase in her strength, the young girl had also beco a little more confident.
Unlike before, when she felt she wasn't good enough for Yang Xiao and, despite caring for him with all her heart, dared not make any presumptuous moves.
But now, with the awakening of her Water Spirit Body and her progress on the Martial Dao, she had changed a great deal, and her temperant had beco a bit bolder.
Of course, this was only when she was facing Yang Xiao; with outsiders, no matter how outstanding they were, they probably couldn't even get a hint of a smile from Yun'Er.
"Mm, alright."
The aquamarine pendant was indeed very beautiful. Moreover, since it hadn't been refined by Yun'Er yet, the treasured light shimring on its surface gave it an extra touch of elegance.
As Yang Xiao personally placed it around her neck, the young girl—who already possessed a special aura after her breakthrough to the Innate realm—seed to gain an even more divine charm.
So beautiful.
She looked like a Fairy Divine Maiden, far above the mortal world.
Even Yang Xiao's eyes lit up.
He began to study her closely.
He only just realized that though the girl was only fourteen or fifteen, she had already blossod into a breathtaking beauty.
Moreover, as her Ultimate Water Spirit Body gradually manifested, her peerless beauty—once hidden, just like her Martial Arts aptitude—was also beginning to quietly bloom.
It was astonishing.
"What do you think? Is it pretty?" Yun'Er asked shyly.
"It's beautiful. My Yun'Er is the most beautiful of all."
Yang Xiao smiled.
Before Yun'Er could blush, her pretty little face already beet red, Yang Xiao added, "In a little while, co with to the Outer Mansion's Library Pavilion. I need to look sothing up."
"The Outer Mansion's Library Pavilion?"
Yun'Er was taken aback.
The Purple Sun Sect had two Library Pavilions: one in the Outer Mansion and one in the Inner Mansion.
Compared to the one in the Inner Mansion, the Outer Mansion's was far inferior in both scale and the value of its collection.
'Why would the Young Master want to go there?'
In the past, Yun'Er definitely would not have asked.
But now, after a mont's hesitation, she asked anyway, "Young Master, why not go to the Inner Mansion's Library Pavilion? I heard it has seven floors, and the very top one has Saint Grade Martial Arts. This Outer Sect pavilion only has Basic Martial Arts, Human-tier Martial Arts, and a pile of miscellaneous books. What's there to see?"
"Miscellaneous books? That's exactly what I want to see."
Yang Xiao gave a mysterious smile.
He didn't explain.
Although Yun'Er was very curious, seeing the Young Master's expression, she decided not to ask any further.
She knew that the Young Master must have a good reason for going there to look.
"Then get ready. You'll co with in a bit."
Yang Xiao gave a slight smile and left the hall.
He did indeed have a reason for wanting to go to the Outer Mansion's Library Pavilion.
Although the Outer Mansion didn't have any high-quality Martial Arts—the highest floor only held Upper-Grade Human-tier Martial Arts—it did have an abundant collection of miscellaneous books.
These miscellaneous books were precisely what Yang Xiao valued.
As for those Martial Arts...
'Forget it. Never mind these Basic and Human-tier Martial Arts; even Saint Grade Martial Arts are worthless to .'
'Only a foundational Divine Technique like the Starburst Skill, which points directly to the Realm of Dominator, could possibly attract my attention.'
'Otherwise, I wouldn't even give a second glance to so so-called Great Divine Techniques.'
But these miscellaneous books, which were useless to ordinary people, were useful to him.
Ever since he learned about the Five Emperors of the Ancient Human Race from Yang Ziling, Yang Xiao had wanted to look into the matter.
He wanted to understand what had happened during that missing million years.
For example, who had established the so-called Immortal Dao.
Of course, besides that, Yang Xiao also wanted to find so information on current geography. Right now, he only knew that the Purple Sun Sect was located in the Celestial Cloud Region.
And that the Celestial Cloud Region contained the Celestial Cloud Mountain Range, as well as the Nine Sects and Sixteen Kingdoms.
But what exactly was this place like?
What could be found where?
Yang Xiao knew none of it.
He also didn't know where he could find Spirit dicines above the Ninth-Grade.
Therefore, whether it was to find out who established the Immortal Dao or to break through to the Yellow Fla Realm, a trip to the Library Pavilion was a must for Yang Xiao.
