“Mu Yuchan, don’t you think you’re making a big fuss out of this for the sake of your daughter?”
A chubby round-faced girl in red stretched her short thick legs onto the table, saying with a yawn:
“If this delays my entry into the Xuan Yang Secret Realm, don’t say I didn’t warn you!”
This was a square stone chamber, with only a long white jade table in the middle, and dozens of high-backed stone seats placed on both sides of the table.
At this moment, the seats were occupied by a dozen high-ranking members of the Butian Pavilion, the weakest among them being at the late Golden Core Stage. They were diverse in appearances, including men and women, young and old.
The one at the head of the table was a girl dressed in white with white hair, her eyes slightly closed, and her demeanor cool.
Standing behind her chair was a woman with a tall figure and achingly blue eyes.
On the right of the white-haired girl was the red-dressed little girl who was speaking. On her left was a woman of noble temperament, gorgeously dressed in palace attire.
The stunning woman remained as cold as frost, unconcerned by the threat of the girl in red. She squeezed the Finger Jue and shot out a blue light with her finger, merging it into the void.
The next moment, a light screen emerged above everyone’s heads, displaying everything that had happened after Mu Yunwan brought Xu Mu into the secret room.
The woman m palace attire was none other than Mu Yunwan’s mother, the second Pavilion Master of Butian Pavilion, Mu Yuchan.
She had somehow managed to replay the events that had occurred in the secret room.
“What’s so interesting about this!”
The girl in red gave it a casual glance and became somewhat bored. She leaned her head back onto her chubby little hand, looking as if she were about to fall asleep.
It wasn’t until the white-haired girl slightly raised her eyelids and gave her a glance that she reluctantly lifted her head to continue watching the light screen, although she kept commenting on every detail.
“Just look at what you’ve spoiled your daughter into! Her methods are crude and vulgar. When I was at the Qi Cultivation stage, I was ten times better than her. And she even used the Immobilize Talisman; it’s such a disgrace to us…hmm?”
As she was speaking, the girl in red suddenly stopped, her eyebrows furrowed in confusion. Seconds later, her eyes widened, and she abruptly stood up on the stone table, completely engrossed by the scene in the light screen.
Seeing the girl’s behavior, the Golden Core Stage Elders present could only hold back their words of reprimand, even though they were frustrated.
The girl in red was called Lian Hongshuang. She was the third Pavilion Master of Butian Pavilion, a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator. Her father was the Pavilion Chief of Butian Pavilion.
Lian Hongshuang had always been known for her unrestrained disposition Besides the Pavilion Chief, Qiu Jixing, who could inspire a degree of fear in her, no one else’s words could have any sway.
Even if annoyed, they could only swallow their discomfort. They did not want to stir up trouble for themselves.
“Could it be that he used…”
Lian Hongshuang turned her head abruptly, looking at Mu Yuchan.
“Exactly! It is the Yin and Yang Harmony secret skill! Otherwise, he couldn’t have broken through Wan’er’s secret skill!”
Mu Yuchan stated directly, her eyes gleaming with a cold light.
Under normal circumstances, with the protection of the formation, even a Golden Core Stage cultivator wouldn’t be able to harm Mu Yunwan.
Considering this, she hadn’t paid much attention initially, which led to her not realizing that anything was amiss until much later after Mu Yunwan’s death, causing her to miss the best time for investigation.
“Who is he?”
Lian Hongshuang, who was now back in her stone chair with legs crossed, kept her gaze on Mu Yuchan and asked.
“If I knew, I would have acted long ago. Why would I have informed you all?”
Mu Yuchan glanced at Lian Hongshuang with an indifferent tone.
Lian Hongshuang pouted in displeasure, then turned to the girl in white, the Pavilion Master of Butian Pavilion, Qiu Jixing.
Elder Sister Qiu! Only the three of us know the secret skill of Yin and Yang Harmony. Ordinary people, even if they acquire it, can’t possibly practice, let alone master it. Even our extraordinarily talented Uncle Master had no success!”
Qiu Jixing opened her eyes, her aging eyes emotionless, and spoke softly:
“What are you trying to say?”
“Could he be the reincarnation of Uncle Master? Back then, Uncle Master brought the Great Shift Command and went into the Xuan Yang Secret Realm in search of the ‘Other Shore Flower’. After so many years, if he had found it, it would be about time for him to reincarnate!”
“Hehe!”
Mu Yuchan couldn’t help but sneer.
“If he were Uncle Master, he would have come to find us a long time ago. Why would he hide? Moreover, I have examined his body before, the martial method he practiced is completely different from ours in Butian Pavilion!”
Lian Hongshuang rolled her eyes at Mu Yuchan and said disdainfully: “The secret skill of Yin and Yang Harmony is the nemesis of all vitality cultivating methods. Our Uncle Master has always been cautious and careful. What’s so strange about him not acknowledging us for the sake of safety?” “If he really is Uncle Master, he wouldn’t have killed Wan’er. Wan’er is…” “What is it? Humph! We cultivators seek immortality, killing a few relatives is nothing! It’s simply a few more cycles of reincarnation!” Lian Hongshuang disdainfully said.
Just like when you killed the old Pavilion Master?” Mu Yuchan mocked.
“Bitch! You’re asking for death!”
Lian Hongshuang suddenly stood up, her eyes fierce. A tremendous surge of energy erupted from her, forming a red aura around her body that resembled burning flames.
“It seems you’ve forgotten your lesson!”
With a slight bend of her fingers, Mu Yuchan summoned an ice-blue flame to appear in her palm. The temperature within the stone chamber fell sharply. “Enough!”
Seeing that the two were about to argue again, Qiu Jixing interjected calmly. An invisible force was projected from the void and directly pressed Lian Hongshuang back into her seat.
The Golden Core elders below were drenched in sweat. Facing the aura of the three Nascent Soul Stage powerhouses was too overwhelming for them.
“Since the Yin and Yang Harmony Secret Skill has been achieved, we must find that person, regardless of his identity! I will use my star-gazing spell to locate his approximate location. Hongshuang, you will lead ten Golden Core elders to bring him back!”
“Why me?”
Lian Hongshuang crossed her arms in annoyance. “I am waiting to go to the
Xuan Yang Secret Realm to retrieve the Yang True Water!”
“This is an order! I’m not discussing it with you!” Qiu Jixing glared at her coldly.
Lian Hongshuang could only pout and snort in dissatisfaction.
“I understand!”
“Yuchan, you will be in charge of the team going into the Xuan Yang Secret
Realm this time!”
“Yes, sir!”
Mu Yuchan’s eyes flickered for a moment before she nodded.
“The two of you will stay here to help me activate the Star-gazing Compass. Everyone else may leave!” Qiu Jixing said as he stood up.
“Yes!”
The various Golden Core elders stood up one by one, saluted, and then turned to leave.
Only Qiu Jixing, Mu Yuchan, Lian Hongshuang, and the blue-eyed woman remained in the room.
Qiu Jixing rose from her seat and walked towards a wall. The wall automatically opened a passage, and she stepped into it. The remaining three hurriedly followed.
Under Qiu Jixing’s guidance, the group walked for about the time it takes to brew a pot of tea before finally arriving at a high tower’s outdoor platform. The surrounding winds were strong. As they looked up, they saw a sky full of stars.
A black stone compass, nearly ten feet high, stood quietly in the center of the platform, as if it had existed for countless years.
The compass was covered in mysterious hieroglyphic characters, exuding an ancient, vicissitudinous aura.
Gazing at the compass, a rare hint of eagerness appeared in Mu Yuchan’s eyes. Although this black stone compass appeared plain, it was indeed a renowned Heavenly Spirit Treasure in the Cang Ming Ocean Territory. It was also the foundation that allowed the Butian Pavilion to stand in the Cang Ming Ocean Territory.
Only the successive Pavilion Masters knew the spell to activate and control it. It was precisely because of the existence of this star-gazing compass that Qiu Jixing could easily suppress them.
Qiu Jixing lightly stepped on the ground, flying up and gently landing on the compass. Her fingers were interlocked as she sent out one spell after another into the compass.
Hum!
Soon, dense golden runes emerged from the surface of the compass, emitting a faint glow.
Mu Yuchan and Lian Hongshuang hurriedly approached and infused their spiritual power into it to help reduce the pressure on Qiu Jixing.
The Heavenly Spirit Treasure was powerful, but its consumption was equally considerable. Operating it alone would be strenuous for Qiu Jixing.
“Yuchan!”
At the shout from Qiu Jixing, Mu Yuchan immediately imprinted the information about Xu Mu she had collected into the compass through a spiritual mark.
The runes on the surface began spinning rapidly, eventually forming a ball of light that flew into Qiu Jixing’s forehead.
After a moment, Qiu Jixing stopped the compass from spinning and stepped down from it.
“The compass shows! He is in the Outer Sea!”
