Chapter 2625: Chapter 2685: The Queen Mother of the West
Su Yang was overjoyed, so it seems that this gourd is truly extraordinary. No wonder those three Crystal Skulls took such risks to steal three gourds.
If it were Su Yang, he would be tempted too. Who doesn’t want treasures like these?
"Qi’er, thank you!" Su Yang said sincerely.
"Brother Su, don’t say that to me!" Qi’er pouted.
Su Yang chuckled and said softly, "Qi’er, you can focus on your retreat here, I’ll head out first."
"Alright!" Qi’er nodded, but still looked at Su Yang with a face of reluctance.
Su Yang waved goodbye to Qi’er with a smile and then turned and left.
This trip to the Feather Spirit Palace was quite rewarding for Su Yang. The most unexpected thing was Qi’er’s identity. She turned out to be the master of the Feather Spirit Palace, which was a huge surprise.
As he stepped out of the main hall, a masked person was already waiting there. Seeing Su Yang come out, the masked person immediately followed alongside.
"Su Alliance Leader, I will take you out!" The masked person said respectfully.
"Alright!" Su Yang nodded, and by this point, he no longer felt any wariness toward this masked person. These people were all Qi’er’s servants, so there was nothing for Su Yang to fear.
After walking for a while, Su Yang couldn’t help but ask, "Who exactly are you? Why do you keep your face covered every day?"
The masked person hesitated for a moment and then said softly, "Answering Su Alliance Leader, my identity in the Nine Realms is The Queen Mother of the West!"
"What?" Su Yang was astonished, this masked person was actually The Queen Mother of the West?
He couldn’t help but recall the events in the Nine Realms earlier, where the Queen Mother of the West at the Turquoise Pool in the Heavenly Realm was an imposter. People had been wondering where the real Queen Mother of the West had gone. Who would have thought, she had been in the Human World’s Turquoise Pool all along, with intentions for the Feather Spirit Palace.
However, after Qi’er returned, The Queen Mother of the West became Qi’er’s servant and was completely subdued.
"So why are you here?" Su Yang asked in bewilderment.
"I have always been here!" The masked person, or rather The Queen Mother of the West, replied, "When the Feather Spirit Palace fell and split the Turquoise Pool in half, I just felt that there must be opportunities within the Feather Spirit Palace. So, after the separation of the Heavenly Realm, I entered the Heavenly Realm for a while. I arranged everything there, had a close maid impersonate me in the Heavenly Realm. I myself have always been in the Human World, trying to uncover the secrets of the Feather Spirit Palace, and did not return to the Heavenly Realm!"
"So, the Flat Peach tree in the Kunlun Mountain Turquoise Pool, was it planted by you?" Su Yang asked.
The Queen Mother of the West nodded, "Yes!"
"I see!" Su Yang suddenly realized, understanding what had been going on all along.
The Queen Mother of the West led Su Yang to the exit of the rear courtyard, saying, "Su Alliance Leader, I’ll send you off here. Ye Xingjun will take you out from here on!"
"Alright!" Su Yang nodded, seeing Ye Xingjun indeed waiting over there.
Under the escort of Ye Xingjun, Su Yang walked out of the Feather Spirit Palace. Ye Xingjun did not follow him out; he stayed behind and sealed the Feather Spirit Palace.
Seeing the wings on Ye Xingjun’s back, Su Yang remembered what Qi’er had said earlier. Anyone with wings served under her. Ye Xingjun was indeed in such a situation.
After leaving the Feather Spirit Palace, Su Yang felt refreshed. This trip to the Feather Spirit Palace had truly been worthwhile!
Holding two gourds, he returned to Qinghe Academy, where Jiang Zi’er was already waiting. Seeing Su Yang returning, Jiang Zi’er approached with a smile, "Brother Su, did you meet the master of the Feather Spirit Palace?"
Su Yang looked at Jiang Zi’er and said with a smile, "You knew who the master of the Feather Spirit Palace was all along?"
"My master mentioned it to me!" Jiang Zi’er said with a smile.
"Then why didn’t you go?" Su Yang pouted and said, "I thought you had a conflict with the master of the Feather Spirit Palace?"
"Brother Su, you really don’t understand a girl’s mind!" Jiang Zi’er said speechlessly, "You went to meet Miss Qi’er, how could I go with you?"
"What’s wrong with that?" Su Yang pouted, though he felt a bit different inside. It seemed Qi’er had grown a bit attached to him.
"Alright, Brother Su, let’s not talk about this!" Jiang Zi’er said, "You met Miss Qi’er, so how about the matter of reshaping reincarnation?"
Su Yang briefly explained the situation to Jiang Zi’er, who after hearing it, immediately furrowed her brows.
"Brother Su, you want to go to the Three Thousand Great Worlds to find those three Crystal Skulls?" Jiang Zi’er said, frowning, "That’s very dangerous; the Three Thousand Great Worlds are the territory of the Guardian Gods!"
"I know!" Su Yang nodded, "But it doesn’t matter. I can transform into a Guardian God to find them, can’t I?"
"Uh..." Jiang Zi’er thought for a moment and said, "Though it sounds plausible, you must not reveal your identity. If your cover is blown and the Guardian Gods discover someone has infiltrated disguising themselves as them, they will undoubtedly become alert. Brother Su, you can change your appearance, and cultivators below the Earth-level can’t recognize you. However, Earth-level cultivators can sense the aura of your Personal Space. If they remember the aura of your Personal Space, then Earth-level cultivators will be able to discern who you are!"
Su Yang immediately frowned, that was indeed correct. Previously, Dao Ji identified him in such a manner. Transforming into the likeness of a Guardian God was indeed not a foolproof plan.
"If I don’t reveal my identity, they might not pay attention to me?" Su Yang asked.
"That’s true!" Jiang Zi’er nodded.
"That’s good then!" Su Yang said, "If I don’t reveal my identity and just find people, won’t that be fine?"
"In theory, it’s feasible." Jiang Zi’er nodded, though she remained somewhat worried, "But it’s still very risky. If you encounter any special situations where you have to reveal yourself..."
"I’ll deal with those situations as they come!" Su Yang said, "No matter what, I must find them. Otherwise, there’s no hope of reshaping reincarnation for the Human Clan. The World Melting Furnace may not hold out for long. Once the people in the Immortal Palace revive, the World Melting Furnace won’t be able to stop them!"
Jiang Zi’er sighed, she was well aware of these circumstances too. Su Yang was entirely correct, they had to reshape reincarnation before the people in the Immortal Palace came back to life, or else the Human Clan would really be doomed.
"Brother Su, you must be careful!" Jiang Zi’er urged.
"Alright, I’ll be fine!" Su Yang waved his hand with a smile, "By the way, I’ll be going into closed retreat for a few days, you help me handle external matters for a bit!"
"Okay!" Jiang Zi’er nodded.
Su Yang went into Qinghe Academy and set up an Array to start his closed retreat.
It’s unlikely that the Guardian Gods will find the Nine Realms for hundreds of years, so Su Yang plans to advance to the Saint Emperor Realm before tackling other matters.
