Chapter 510: Reemergence
Less than an hour late, the pirate ship fell silent.
"Is everyone dead?" Xuan Ke questioned.
"Mmmmh." Yu Nianzhen nodded and added more wine to Jiang Yue’s cup.
"Let’s collect the loot and leave this place." Jiang Yue said.
Soon after, the three people collected storage rings, bags, and everything in the ship rooms.
After that, they burned the bodies, collected the pirate ship, and continued their way towards Cangxing Mountain.
When they were a distance from the crime scene, Jiang Yue removed the loot and placed everything on the table.
"Let’s see if there is anything we want. Everything else will be contributed to the Cangxing mountain." He said.
"Brothers, you are too generous." Xuan Ke said and Jiang Yue rolled his eyes before he spoke.
"It’s not like we can use most of the resources." He said.
"At our level, the only things we need are enlightenment resources." Yu Nianzhen said and began checking the storage artefacts.
Unfortunately, he and Jiang Yue were unlucky.
Although the previous treasure-hunting cultivators were rich, they didn’t have any enlightenment resources.
"Enlightenment resources are too rare. If you want some, you can only try your luck in the Burial Province." Xuan Ke suggested.
"Azhen and I plan to go to the Burial Province." Jiang Yue nodded and said.
Although their cultivation was at the peak, there were still some useful things in the Burial Province.
Most importantly, Jiang Yue had not forgotten the map and technique he got during the challenge event.
Now that he and Yu Nianzhen had spare time, it was just right to explore the Burial Province.
"Brother Xuan, have you been to the Burial Province?" Jiang Yue questioned with a curious look in his eyes.
"Not yet." Xuan Ke said and sighed.
After the challenge event, Xuan Ke went into seclusion.
When he came out of retreat, he trained in the Boundless Mountain range to stabilise his strength.
As a result, he didn’t have time to go to the Burial Province before he had to cross his first tribulation.
"I plan to go before my second tribulation." The monk said.
"It’s a good idea." Jiang Yue said and then looked at the storage rings on the table.
"Although we didn’t find enlightenment resources, there are still a lot of good things." He said.
"The inheritances are the most important." Yu Nianzhen agreed with a pleased look in his eyes.
From the one hundred or so treasure-hunting cultivators, they collected a little more than four hundred storage rings, storage bags, storage bracelets, storage belts, and other artefacts.
In the storage artefacts, they found three billion low-grade reincarnation stones, one hundred million mid-grade reincarnation stones, seven hundred thousand high-grade reincarnation stones, and three thousand top-grade reincarnation stones.
Other than reincarnation stones, they also found a few heaven and earth treasures, weapons, cultivation techniques, and martial arts amongst other miscellaneous items.
"As expected, robbery is the best way to accumulate wealth." Jiang Yue sighed.
Hearing this, Yu Nianzhen smiled and rubbed his husband’s hair before he spoke.
"XiaoYue, we are now at the peak of the ninth level of the reincarnation realm." He said.
"I know." Jiang Yue said in a matter-of-fact voice.
"Do you really?" Yu Nianzhen asked and raised a teasing eyebrow.
"What do you mean?"
"If you want, we can rob a few treasure-hunting cultivators."
Hearing this, Jiang Yue couldn’t help but be excited.
However, he soon shook his head in denial.
Although he wanted to acquire more resources for the Cangxing cultivators, he didn’t want to go out of his way to work hard.
After all, he and Yu Nianzhen still had to comprehend the Tao.
Since they couldn’t improve their cultivation, the best use of their time was to comprehend the Tao.
"Let’s leave it to chance. If we encounter treasure-hunting cultivators, we will deal with them accordingly." He said.
"I will listen to you." Yu Nianzhen said and Xuan Ke rolled his eyes.
"Do you have an opinion?" Jiang Yue glared at the monk.
"What opinion can I have?" The monk shrugged and sipped from his wine cup.
After the first incident, the three didn’t encounter another group of treasure-hunting cultivators.
However, they did encounter several groups of strange passers-by.
"The closer we are to the Cangxing mountain, the more people we meet." Jiang Yue observed.
"Word of your return should have already spread to the whole Reincarnation world." Xuan Ke said and smiled.
"The people we have met should have come to confirm your cultivation level."
"Let’s find an opportunity to establish some mutually beneficial relations with some of the surrounding mountains." Yu Nianzhen suddenly said.
"It’s necessary." Jiang Yue agreed.
Although he and Yu Nianzhen were powerful, the overall strength of the Cangxing Mountain was low.
If possible, it was best to establish good relations with some of the surrounding mountains.
In this way, Cangxing cultivators could more easily exchange resources and experiences with foreign cultivators.
"More than one thousand years ago, there were a lot of fake manuals circulating in the Reincarnation world. How is the current situation?" Yu Nianzhen asked and looked at Xuan Ke.
Hearing this, Xuan Ke sighed and then frowned.
"Fewer fake manuals are circulating in the Reincarnation world. However, the culprit was never caught." Xuan Ke said and the other two couldn’t help but frown.
"This is a problem." Jiang Yue said.
"Indeed." Yu Nianzhen nodded in agreement.
"Brothers, there is something else." Xuan Ke said with a solemn look in his eyes.
Originally, he wanted to talk about the matter as soon as he saw the two.
However, it had been more than one thousand years since the three brothers saw each other.
In the excitement of the reunion, Xuan Ke forgot about the important matter and didn’t remember until this moment.
"What’s the matter?" Jiang Yue asked.
"The first incident was about ten years ago..." Xuan Ke started but frowned before he finished his words.
Seeing this, Yu Nianzhen and Jiang Yue looked at each other but neither knew what was going on.
In the end, they could only patiently wait for Xuan Ke to compose himself.
"It’s Death Flower Ascension Front." Xuan Ke said and the other two froze in horror.
"You..., what do you mean?" Jiang Yue asked through gritted teeth.
When he remembered what happened in the Cangxing world, Jiang Yue couldn’t help but recoil.
"There are traces of the Death Flower Ascension Front in the Reincarnation world." Xuan Ke said and quickly continued before the two could question him.
"Our Cangxing mountain hasn’t been affected but there is no telling what will happen in the future."
"Our Cangxing world lost most of its population because of the Death Flower Ascension Front. If something begins in the Reincarnation world, it will be a tragedy for our Ten Thousand Worlds realm." Yu Nianzhen said.
Hearing this, Xuan Ke nodded before he spoke.
"We have asked around but there aren’t many cases and foreign cultivators aren’t concerned. Most importantly, foreign cultivators don’t seem to know about the Death Flower Ascension Front."
"This matter needs to be a priority." Jiang Yue said and looked at Yu Nianzhen.
"I agree." The swordsman said.
If the Death Flower Ascension Front wasn’t destroyed before it became powerful, the Reincarnation world would soon follow in the path of the Cangxing world.
"Over the years, we have casually investigated the leader of the Death Flower Ascension Front but our efforts haven’t been very fruitful. We must put more effort into this matter." Yu Nianzhen said and the other two nodded in agreement.
"Fortunately, our Cangxing cultivators have the bounty list. As soon as a Cangxing cultivator joins the Death Flower Ascension Front, their name will appear on the bounty list." Jiang Yue said.
"There is that." Xuan Ke agreed and sighed.
"It’s been almost two thousand years since we left the Cangxing world. I wonder how the world is doing." Jiang Yue said with a trace of nostalgia in his voice.
"The world should be recovering." Yu Nianzhen said and rubbed his husband’s hair.
"A lot of cultivators died which reduced the drain on the world. Future generations will have better conditions than we did."
"Especially after we advance." Jiang Yue added with some resentment in his heart.
"Brother, there is no reason to be resentful." Xuan Ke said with a trace of envy in his voice.
"You and Brother Yu will become the ancestors of our Cangxing world. All the future generations will know your names."
"You think?" Jiang Yue asked and chuckled happily.
However, he didn’t wait for an answer.
During the tribulation, he and Yu Nianzhen saw their past life memories.
In that life, he, Yu Nianzhen, and all high-level experts sacrificed everything for the Cangxing world.
Unfortunately, their sacrifice was lost to history.
Their names were unknown and their sacrifice was unacknowledged.
Fortunately, their merit was not forgotten.
It was because they sacrificed so much that all of them were reincarnated with a lot of luck.
If nothing went wrong, all of them would achieve unprecedented greatness in the future.
"Brother Xuan..." Jiang Yue started but didn’t finish.
Instead, he looked at Yu Nianzhen, only to find that the swordsman was also looking at him.
"Let’s rush to the Cangxing mountain." Yu Nianzhen suddenly said.
