NOVPUBAt this moment, Su Changkong’s heart stirred, and he took out an Identity Token from his Bag of Book Fragrance. It was the Identity Token of a Guest Elder of the Xia Yan family. The Token now shimmered with a faint light—Xia Yanjie was sending a message through the Token!
"Could it be that there’s news about the Heavenly Dragon Jade Talisman?"
Su Changkong’s heart stirred as he picked up the Token, sensing the message being conveyed within.
"Elder Blade, according to the information we have obtained, the Silver Moon Empire’s royal Yan Family has announced that three months from now, they are calling upon the person who possesses the Heavenly Dragon Jade Talisman to head to Heavenly Dragon Mountain to jointly open the Heavenly Dragon Cave Sky," Xia Yanjie’s message transmitted from the Token made Su Changkong nod slightly.
With the fall of the Tianlong Kingdom, the Heavenly Dragon royal family, the Long Family, also walked towards demise as their allotted time ran out. The Heavenly Dragon Jade Talisman left by the Heavenly Dragon Martial Saint could open the Heavenly Dragon Cave Sky, but it required five Jade Talismans to be gathered.
The royal Yan Family of the Silver Moon Empire was in possession of a Jade Talisman, and the Heavenly Dragon Cave Sky was also located within the territory of the Silver Moon Empire. For this reason, the Yan Family called upon those with a Jade Talisman to come to the Silver Moon Empire to open the Heavenly Dragon Cave Sky.
But Su Changkong’s brows furrowed slightly in concern, "But if we go to the Silver Moon Empire, even if we acquire treasures, wouldn’t they end up in the hands of the Yan Family?"
The royal Yan Family of the Silver Moon Empire was no less formidable than the Xia Yan family. Surely their clan was filled with countless top-notch experts. For outsiders, obtaining treasures in the Silver Moon Empire only to leave safely with them would be no easy task!
Even if the Martial Saint of the Yan Family personally took action, who could compete?
The Token flickered as Xia Yanjie once again transmitted information.
"The Ancestor of the Yan Family has personally decreed that no matter who it is, those holding a Jade Talisman and entering the Silver Moon Empire to open the Heavenly Dragon Cave Sky will each rely on their own abilities to obtain the treasures.
And should they secure treasures, the Yan Family will ensure their safe departure from the Silver Moon Empire," the message from the Token brightened Su Changkong’s eyes.
Clearly, the Yan Family also understood this point. Outsiders entering the Silver Moon Empire might obtain treasures but would not be able to take them away. If that were the case, no one with a Jade Talisman would venture to the Silver Moon Empire, and the Heavenly Dragon Cave Sky would never be opened.
Therefore, the Ancestor of the Yan Family used the prestige of the Yan Family as a guarantee that they would not attack those who obtained treasures in the Heavenly Dragon Cave Sky, thereby dispelling the concerns of outsiders.
The promise of the Ancestor of the Yan Family carried weight—it was the Martial Saint of the Yan Family, an existence standing at the very summit of a nation!
It was understandable. Other treasures could be taken away, but the Heavenly Dragon Cave Sky itself could not. Even if the people of the Yan Family entered the Heavenly Dragon Cave Sky and acquired no treasures, the Cave Sky itself was a tremendous gain!
Of course, one must still be cautious. Despite the Ancestor’s promise, should the acquired treasure be enough to tempt a Martial Saint, the other party may not keep their promise and refrain from taking action, like with a Divine Seed, for instance!
Within the Heavenly Dragon Cave Sky, it was very possible to find Divine Seeds left by the Long Family—such treasures might just cause the Yan Family to go back on their word.
But with the Yan Family’s promise, making a trip to the Heavenly Dragon Cave Sky in the Silver Moon Empire seemed worthwhile.
"Wait three months, and then head to the Heavenly Dragon Cave Sky!"
Su Changkong made up his mind. Even without acquiring the Heavenly Dragon Jade Talisman, he would not give up the opportunity now that it was within his grasp.
As Su Changkong waited quietly, unbeknownst to him, danger was stealthily approaching!
In the depths of the night, the Spirit Taoist Sect was in silence, with only the night-watching disciples awake while others rested.
"Turtle Breath Technique... another breakthrough, I can be of even greater use to Elder Su!"
In a quiet chamber, a youth was deep in breath practice, reveling in the substantial Turtle Breathing True Qi in his Dantian, and a joyful smile appeared on his face.
The youth, named Zuo Qiu, was the first disciple of the Spirit Taoist Sect to return from acquired to Innate state through Su Changkong’s Mysterious Turtle True Essence. He was extremely grateful to Su Changkong for transforming him completely and practiced diligently, making remarkable progress in the Turtle Breath Technique.
Not only could he assist Su Changkong, but he was also able to elevate his own cultivation with the resources provided by Su Changkong.
"Thump thump thump!"
But suddenly, Zuo Qiu’s heart beat violently, and he looked up in alarm towards the sky. He felt a terrifying aura sweeping over him, so ferocious like a deluge or a beast, causing primal fear in his soul.
Not just Zuo Qiu—all the Innate Martial Artists in the Spirit Taoist Sect felt it, as if a wild beast was eyeing its prey.
"Who is it?"
Sect Master Helian Yuan’s eyelids twitched as he too felt a terrifying, horrifying sensation—it felt as though someone had set their sights on them!
At this moment, above the Spirit Taoist Sect, within a pitch-black cloud, three figures looked down upon the Sect below.
Among these three, besides the burly man known as ’Bei Yingkuang,’ there were two others. They were dressed in black and green robes, respectively, and looked alike as if they were twins. However, their demeanors were completely different.
The man in black robes appeared to be in his twenties, with pale, jade-like skin, yet his eyes were wild, his aura sinister. His gaze swept over as if he were looking at prey.
The other man in green robes, similar in appearance and age, had a smile that seemed easy-going, as if he were extremely affable. But his smile only served to raise one’s hackles.
"This Spirit Taoist Sect is merely a third-rate little sect—could someone as powerful as Dao Wufeng truly be among them?" the man in black said with a cold voice.
"Wu Qin, how could the Master of the Association be mistaken?" Bei Yingkuang replied with slight dissatisfaction.
With the Master of the Association’s wide-reaching divine skills, calling the three of them here with much fanfare was assuredly based on the certainty that their target was indeed within this minor sect!
