Chapter 672: Chapter 532: Gathering at Heavenly Mountain
Outside Cangming Island, scattered around its northern part, there were nurous islands of similar sizes.
At this mont, in front of a pavilion on one of these islands, Demon Soul watched Duan Hai leave.
Then he returned to the room, turned around, and took out a ring, from which he retrieved all the objects inside.
“Token, uniform, Communication Talisman…”
Demon Soul donned the Demon Sky Palace uniform and then pondered the information Duan Hai had ntioned earlier.
“Unexpectedly, I have inexplicably beco the Demon Emperor’s registered disciple… even if it’s just a peripheral ‘registered disciple’.” Demon Soul smacked his lips.
According to what Duan Hai said, his master’s na was Lv Lan, the only surviving disciple of the Nether Sea Demon Emperor, one of the three Emperor Levels in the Demon Sky Palace.
Moreover, this lineage had not accepted disciples for a very long ti.
No wonder Ji Changye was a bit surprised at that ti.
Moreover, on Wangyue Island, even the lowest level was Radiant Moon Level.
Demon Soul, being rely a Shining Star Level and from an unknown origin, truly stood out conspicuously.
Fortunately, Lv Lan was still in seclusion, so there was no need to et his master.
This was naturally good for Demon Soul, as it avoided the risk of being discovered by the King Level experts.
When in Ro, do as the Romans do. There was no need to overthink…
Two months passed in the blink of an eye.
In Central State, at the foot of Heavenly Mountain, Frost Sky City.
Although it was the largest city within a radius of ten thousand miles, because of its remote location, most of the inhabitants in Ice Sky City were local Star Card Masters or those who primarily cultivated Ice Skills.
And every few years, Ice Sky City would beco bustling.
The reason was nothing else but the Ten Sects Swordfight!
In recent half a month, many foreign cultivators had flocked to Frost Sky City.
Although they couldn’t witness the Ten Sects Swordfight firsthand, they had the chance to see the top experts from various sects and get first-hand information about the Swordfight.
“Hey, Old Xu, I just saw people from Beast Taming Heavenly Sect in the eastern part of the city!”
In a teahouse, cultivators from different regions talked about the Swordfight.
“Oh? Beast Taming Heavenly Sect is from the Eastern Domain. It’s rare to see them here.”
“Indeed, it was an eye-opener. The Eight-eyed Divine Owl, Purple Eyes Soaring Monkey… it’s my first ti seeing so many rare Star Beasts! If I were to face them, I’d probably fail against even one Beast!”
“That’s right. True Disciples always find ways to contract Epic Star Beasts. Ordinary Blue Card Masters like us can’t compete.”
Another nearby person laughed: “In a one-on-one fight, Beast Tars are formidable at every stage. But as for the top tier… that’s different.”
Due to the number and quality of Beast Tars’ beasts, their paper strength was high.
Typically, a Shining Star Level Star Card Master could contract five Beasts, equivalent to fighting five against one.
However, for top experts, as long as their strength surpassed by one point, their ability to handle group attacks would increase by several points.
Moreover, most top experts had thods to counter group attacks.
Thus, in the Ten Sects Swordfight, Beast Taming Heavenly Sect always ranked among the last few.
“It’s not just Beast Taming Heavenly Sect. The disciples of Limitless Demon Sect and Qiankun Sect are also here, right?”
“They arrived a few days ago!”
“I wonder how this Swordfight will be. I heard it will be different from before.”
“Yes, this ti, it seems they are going into the Heavenly Mountain Secret Realm to find Heavenly Mountain Moon Milk!”
…
Not far away, a silver-eyed young man wearing a blue bracelet was drinking tea alone. It was Su Yuan.
After infiltrating the Demon Sky Palace, Demon Soul encountered no surprises.
He had found a way to the East Continent, but it wasn’t fully secured.
Like the Great Fla Sky Patrol, the Demon Sky Palace also had array barriers for teleportation to other continents.
But this path was challenging.
Demon Soul had no reason to use the transmission array.
Especially considering he had to teleport his real body too. If sothing went wrong, his real body would be dood.
Thus, he had to find other ways.
Currently, Demon Soul was reading extensively within the sect to find other solutions.
anwhile, Su Yuan was also searching elsewhere for a way back to the East Continent.
But so far, he had no success.
Despite multiple predictions by Ashley, there were no results. It indicated that the causative conditions were lacking, and there was no feasible way for Su Yuan to return to the East Continent.
Therefore, the most important thing now was to win the Heavenly Mountain Moon Milk in the Ten Sects Swordfight!
If he grew to Radiant Moon Level, his increased strength would enable him to accomplish more. Perhaps Ashley could then make a new prediction.
As the Swordfight approached, Su Yuan ca to the foot of Heavenly Mountain to et with Demon Soul.
He was currently resting while gathering information.
He had to admit, most of the people who ca to Frost Sky City were well-inford about experts from various sects.
The Tai Shang Five Disciples from Tai Shang Sect, the Qiankun Double Generals from Qiankun Sect, the Wuji Saintess from Limitless Demon Sect, the Five-color Daoist from Five Directions Temple…
Top experts from various sects were widely known, and naturally, they talked about Demon Sky Palace.
“Speaking of Demon Sky Palace, despite losing Bian Xinghe, the new core disciple Qin Lianyun seems quite formidable!
Not long ago, a gang led by a Radiant Moon Level eyeing the star veins of Yan Country was reportedly confronted by Qin Lianyun from Demon Sky Palace.
He single-handedly killed all the Shining Stars in the gang and even drove away the Radiant Moon Level expert!”
“Drove away a Radiant Moon? Really!”
“How can it be false? Almost everyone in the major factions knows this. It’s said that Qin Lianyun has even subdued a high-ranking Divine Fire, making his strength exceptionally formidable!”
“…”
Su Yuan smiled, unexpectedly hearing rumors about himself.
Through the Primordial Spirit Projection Barrier, Su Yuan and Demon Soul often communicated. During this period, besides researching in the library of Demon Sky Palace, Demon Soul also completed many tasks there.
His combat strength was incredibly strong and his thods were ruthless. In less than two months, Demon Soul had already established quite a reputation among the many Shining Star Level disciples in Demon Sky Palace!
Moreover, soone in the sect speculated that Feng Xuanqing might have been killed by Qin Lianyun. Therefore, Ji Changye took him to join Demon Sky Palace, adding to Demon Soul’s mysterious aura…
Su Yuan listened attentively but suddenly noticed a quietness around him.
Realizing sothing was off, Su Yuan slightly raised his head and saw a graceful figure sitting before him.
Wearing a white robe with golden lotuses embroidered at the cuffs with five clouds…
Others might not recognize it, but Su Yuan now understood… she was a core disciple of the Taishang Sect!
With just a bit of thought, Su Yuan figured out her identity and his eyes narrowed.
Taishang Sect, Mu Kexian!
Among the Tai Shang Five Disciples, only Mu Kexian was female.
“Is this seat taken?”
Mu Kexian’s voice was just as cold as her deanor.
Su Yuan smiled: “No, please.”
Beside Mu Kexian was another female disciple, Xu Ziqing, a True Inheritor of the Taishang Sect, who was quite beautiful, though she seed overshadowed compared to Mu Kexian.
At that mont, everyone’s eyes in the teahouse were focused on Mu Kexian.
Xu Ziqing sat beside her and called out: “Boss, a pot of Green Duckweed Tea, no teacups needed.”
“Alright, right away!” The boss quickly responded and soon brought a pot of tea.
Xu Ziqing flipped out two white jade cups, poured tea for Mu Kexian: “Senior Sister.”
Mu Kexian nodded, took the cup, and sipped the tea gracefully.
With her delicate brows and almond lips, she was quite a sight to see.
Xu Ziqing glanced at Su Yuan with a frown, noticing his unabashed gaze at her senior sister while sipping his tea, which made her very displeased.
“This man is really impudent. Senior Sister is too polite. If she hadn’t spoken first, I would have already driven him away!”
Thinking this, Xu Ziqing shot Su Yuan a glare but said nothing.
Su Yuan, naturally aware of her gaze, chuckled inwardly.
With Mu Kexian sitting opposite him, he couldn’t help it; turning away intentionally would have been too obvious.
So why not look openly~
“Your bracelet… is it a Star Beast?” suddenly asked Mu Kexian, her eyes filled with curiosity.
“Oh?” Su Yuan’s eyes narrowed, “Indeed.”
Just then, the bracelet shifted, and in an instant, it turned into a round Sli on the table.
“Squish?” Ruan Ruan tilted its ‘head’ in confusion, surprised at being recognized.
Mu Kexian looked at Ruan Ruan on the table, her calm eyes filled with curiosity.
anwhile, Xu Ziqing beside her suddenly showed visible excitent, her eyes sparkling.
“So cute!”
Xu Ziqing’s eyes glowed as she raised her hands to hug Ruan Ruan.
“Squish?!” Ruan Ruan jumped onto Su Yuan’s shoulder, clutching his neck in fright.
Xu Ziqing was stunned, not expecting the little one to react so quickly.
Su Yuan patted Ruan Ruan, then asked Mu Kexian: “How did you sense it?”
“Because it has strong feelings for you,” Mu Kexian’s dark but emotionless eyes stared at Ruan Ruan, her curiosity mingled with confusion, “It’s incredibly attached to you… fascinating.”
“Strong attachnt…”
Su Yuan looked at Ruan Ruan and patted its head again.
“Squish!” Ruan Ruan closed its eyes comfortably.
Su Yuan smiled, understanding the bond they shared since he had raised it.
But now it seed, Mu Kexian might have a similar ability to Cancer, perceiving emotions?
“Supre Forget Emotion Technique?” Su Yuan quickly speculated, his expression shifting.
This technique was known to be the most mysterious in the Taishang Sect, though difficult to cultivate and with severe side effects.
Reportedly, practitioners of this technique gradually lost all emotions, progressing from forgetting emotions to entering a heartless state, achieving the Supre Dao Heart.
Mu Kexian, with her exceptional talent and compatibility with this technique, had reached the ultimate “forget emotion” stage but had yet to enter the heartless state.
At this mont, Mu Kexian seed very intrigued by Ruan Ruan’s strong emotions, thus observing both Ruan Ruan and Su Yuan closely…
“Senior Sister, Master Ge and the other senior brothers are waiting. We should go,” Xu Ziqing said after checking her Communication Talisman, softly reminding.
“Mm… Let’s go.”
Mu Kexian stood up, casting a final glance at Ruan Ruan and Su Yuan.
Xu Ziqing packed the white jade cups and told Su Yuan: “Boy, you’re lucky to drink tea with Senior Sister Mu!”
Su Yuan chuckled without responding much.
In any case, having tea with soone so pleasing was indeed delightful~
After Mu Kexian left, the others in the teahouse looked at Su Yuan with envy and disdain.
“That guy is really fortunate.”
“Yeah, drinking tea with the genius female cultivator of the Taishang Sect!”
“That wasn’t just any female disciple, it was… Mu Kexian!”
“What!”
“…”
While others discussed, Su Yuan was deep in thought.
The core disciple of the Taishang Sect suddenly sat with him for tea.
It was hard for Su Yuan to believe it was purely coincidental.
And if it was about Feng Xuanqing, surely it wouldn’t end with just tea…
Shaking his head, Su Yuan still couldn’t fathom it.
But seeing the ti, he knew it was almost ti to leave.
Su Yuan stood up, exited the teahouse, and headed towards the ice field…
