Chapter 1292, Continuing Deeper

If he could really obtain this woman, Wang Yu Han would not only have a beautiful flower to accompany him in the future, perhaps he could even use her to enter Clear Sky Sect.

However, after eting several tis, and making clear his intentions towards her, Chen Shi Tao still did not show any favour towards him. Gradually, Wang Yu Han lost heart and no longer planned to get entangled with her again, lest he truly annoy her.

But the last ti he chatted with his Junior Brother Chen Fan Lei, he accidentally heard so shocking news from him.

Chen Shi Tao now had a net worth in the millions of Saint Crystals and also possessed several high-quality Origin Grade High-Rank artifacts!

It seed that she obtained these riches when she entered the Flowing Fla Sand Field. According to Chen Fan Lei, his sister had gotten extrely lucky and discovered a Saint Crystal lode, allowing her to collect a massive quantity of Saint Crystals. Later, although she had to turn over the vast majority to her Sect, she still managed to retain a hefty sum and the Clear Sky Sect Elders also rewarded her for her contribution with many artifacts and pills.

In particular, the Origin Grade High-Rank artifacts were given to Chen Shi Tao by the Great Elder of Clear Sky Sect personally!

Chen Fan Lei was not one to have hidden intentions and was seemingly born carefree. His relationship with Wang Yu Han was good, so he had not had any reservations speaking about this subject with him; however, the latter was a different story, and after hearing about her sudden rise in status and wealth, Wang Yu Han once again decided to aim for Chen Shi Tao.

The purpose of this trip was actually for Chen Fan Lei to use a Thunder Pond to help him break through a bottleneck he was facing in his cultivation, but when Wang Yu Han heard about this, he urged his Junior Brother to invite Chen Shi Tao along. Everything had gone smoothly; hearing that her little brother needed help breaking through his bottleneck, Chen Shi Tao, as a supportive older sister, naturally agreed to help, even bringing along Lu Ying from Clear Sky Sect as backup. All four of them t up outside Grand Burial Valley before entering this place together.

Initially, things were going well, but then their group had accidentally fallen into the reflecting barrier and been trapped for two days. It was then that the little brat nad Yang Kai had appeared and seeing Chen Shi Tao pay so much attention to him, Wang Yu Han naturally beca vigilant and even targeted him slightly.

But now it seems that his way of doing things had irritating Chen Shi Tao, so Wang Yu Han stood in place somberly for a mont before helplessly shaking his head and following after the other three towards the Thunder Pond while secretly pondering what thod he should use to impress Chen Shi Tao and win her affection.

After a mont, he indeed ca up with an idea, and one that he thought would go well, imdiately smiling while he began looking for an opportunity to implent his new plan.

On the other side, after separating from Chen Shi Tao and her group, Yang Kai took Yang Yan back along the route they had travelled and only stopped after withdrawing a couple of dozen kilotres.

“This is Grand Burial Valley?” After listening to Yang Kai’s explanation, Yang Yan not only did not panic but instead showed a joyful, eager look.

“What do you want to do?” Yang Kai asked with a frown, suddenly having a bad premonition.

“It’s nothing. I was just thinking that if this is really the forr site of a great Sect, it must be covered with many powerful barriers and Spirit Arrays!” Yang Yan’s beautiful eyes lit up with a strange light as she shot a look of excitent towards Yang Kai.

Gently rubbing his forehead, Yang Kai said, “Since we’re already here, I don’t have any intentions of just leaving, but what about the directions on those two map fragnts? If it doesn’t point to the inner recesses, then there’s no need for us to take unnecessary risks.”

“Hehe, then I’ll have to disappoint you, the direction these fragnts indicate really is towards the depths of this place, but you can rest assured that there is no barrier or Spirit Array in this world I cannot break. If there were people still living here tending to these Spirit Arrays, I wouldn’t be able to make any guarantees, but only dilapidated barriers that cannot display their full might remain now, so how could they pose any problems?” Yang Yan said with great confidence.

Seeing this, Yang Kai also felt sowhat inspire and nodded, “Fine. Since you’re so confident, let’s continued deeper and see if the place marked on the map fragnts is the so-called Secret Cave of the Ancient Yang Sect. If it is, then we should be able to find enough riches to allow you to purchase any Artifact Refining and Spirit Array materials you want!”

Yang Yan’s eyes lit up and imdiately began urging Yang Kai to lead the way.

The pair took a long detour so they would not run into Chen Shi Tao’s groups before continuing deeper into the ruins.

Chen Shi Tao was right about one thing though. Around the periphery, the barriers and Spirit Arrays they encountered were not very powerful; in fact, the strongest Spirit Array in the vicinity was likely the one that had trapped their group of four. However, all of these Spirit Arrays were easily dismantled by Yang Yan, taking anywhere from a dozen breaths to the ti it would take to burn a stick of incense.

Yang Kai and Yang Yan could basically walk about unimpeded.

Five days later, the pair seed to enter the inner reaches of Ancient Yang Sect, because here, broken walls and ruins could be seen everywhere. It seed that there were once many, many buildings here but at so point, all of them had been destroyed.

The barriers and Spirit Arrays here were also much more powerful than before, so Yang Yan had to spend so ti to carefully crack them.

On top of that, these Spirit Arrays were quite old, and so had beco very unstable, causing Yang Yan to run into so unexpected situations when taking them apart. Yang Kai was responsible for her safety during this ti.

Yang Kai originally wanted to search through these ruins to see if there was anything of value left, but he soon gave up on this unrealistic idea.

Grand Burial Valley had existed for over two thousand years and, during this ti, countless cultivators had searched through this place, so even if there had been treasures left here at one point, anything good must have already fallen into other’s hands.

On this day, Yang Yan stared at a huge open space in front of her for a mont before suddenly raising her hands and taking out two strange-looking artifacts which quickly flew forward and seemingly disappeared into thin air.

Yang Kai didn’t find this strange though as he had witnessed similar scenes multiple tis already. Standing behind Yang Yan, he quietly circulated his Saint Qi and prepared to act at a mont’s notice.

Yang Yan closed her eyes for a while but soon a smile appeared at the corner of her lips and she turned around to Yang Kai and said, “There’s a big Spirit Array here, I’m afraid it will take so ti to crack.”

“Can we go around it?”

“No!” Yang Yan looked at Yang Kai imploringly, “Well, yes, we can go around it, but this is a rare type of Spirit Array and I really want to study and crack it. I told you before that as long as I keep arranging Spirit Arrays and Artifact Refining, I will be able to unlock more and more knowledge about these subjects from my mories, yes? This is a good opportunity then, because breaking through these Spirit Arrays benefits just as much as refining my own Artifacts or arranging Spirit Arrays. Doing it this way will save us a lot of money and materials don’t you think?”

Yang Kai shook his head helplessly and asked cautiously, “Will there be any danger?”

“Absolutely not!” Yang Yan swung her head like a rattle.

“Alright... how long will it take you to crack it?” Yang Kai asked

“Two or three days. You can do whatever you like during that ti,” Yang Yan spat out her tongue before imdiately ignoring Yang Kai and imrsing herself in studying the big Spirit Array in front of her.

Seeing her like this, Yang Kai didn’t go to disturb her and after thinking about what to do for a mont, he took out the Origin King Grade High-Rank Artifact Refining Furnace and in a flash made it expand to three tres or so in diater.

Yang Kai sat down cross-legged in front of this furnace and sent his Divine Sense into it. Soon after, a high-pitched cry rang out and the Firebird Artifact Spirit flew out of the Artifact Refining Furnace, circled it a few tis, then ca to a hover just above it and began spraying out pure Fire Attribute energy from its mouth in order to assist with refining the Dragon Bone and Dragon Bead inside.

Yang Kai did not remain idle either and actively poured his Saint Qi into the Artifact Refining Furnace to enhance its power while at the sa ti he split his attention to continue cultivating his Golden Blood Threads.

Whether it was cultivating his Golden Blood Thread technique or refining the Dragon Bone and Dragon Bead, both were incredibly ti-consuming processes so having found a spare mont now, Yang Kai was not about to waste it.

So, he didn’t object to Yang Yan cracking the Spirit Array here, if he didn’t have anything to do, he wouldn’t have agreed.

Ti passed by, yet Yang Kai barely noticed. At so point though, while imrsed in cultivating his Golden Blood Threads, a slight noise suddenly ca from beside him, causing him to look up and see so fluctuating rays of light and a disturbance in the ambient World Energy. Yang Yan was smiling as she stood nearby, putting away the tools she had been using until now one by one.

A short ti later, all the lights faded, and Yang Kai felt that sothing had disappeared from the open space nearby, imdiately understanding that the large Spirit Array arranged here had been cracked by Yang Yan.

With a thought, he received his Artifact Refining Furnace and Artifact Spirit, got up, and asked, “Done?”

“En, let’s move on. I’m beginning to like this place more and more. Last ti, I should have entered the Flowing Fla Sand Field with you. I heard that there were many Spirit Arrays there.”

“If you had co in with , you would probably be disappointed. Although there were so barriers there, there weren’t many... En, I did see a giant ruin of an ancient Sect though, one that seed nearly completely intact at that. It probably would have t your requirents.”

Yang Yan sighed, “Unfortunately I didn’t have an opportunity, and there’s no telling how many years it will be until the next ti the Flowing Fla Sand Field opens.”

The two continued walking while talking.

As they continued deeper into the ruins, the Spirit Arrays and barriers they encountered really beca much stronger and the ti it took Yang Yan to crack them also grew longer, unlike in the periphery where she could dismantle them with ease.

Even so, Yang Kai could not help feeling quite shocked. Although they had been left unattended for many years, these Spirit Arrays were still the crystallization of a great Sect’s knowledge and resources, yet they were continuously being broken by Yang Yan. Yang Kai really wondered what the people who had arranged these barriers would think if they were to learn about this.

On top of that, Yang Kai noticed that each ti Yang Yan deciphered one of these Spirit Arrays, she would wear a giant smile; obviously, she was gaining many benefits from this process.

This point alone made the trip they had taken worthwhile; after all, Yang Yan cracked these Spirit Arrays not only allowed her to unlock more of her mories, it also saved Dragon Cave Mountain a lot of money.

Although Yang Kai did not obtain anything, he also didn’t lose anything, and he could even take advantage of this opportunity to work on his own projects.

Yang Kai even secretly thought that if they weren’t able to earn enough Saint Crystals to buy materials for her in the future, he could always take Yang Yan out to look for similar places to let her crack Spirit Arrays.

With Shadowed Star being so enormous, there should be many places like this Grand Burial Valley.
