Chapter 899: Huang Yu’s Suggestion
There was no doubt the self-detonation of a Martial Dipper Realm expert was powerful.
However, with Shang Xias powerful control, Young Master Dugus self-detonation only caused several dozens of mountain peaks to blow up and a crater that was merely 30 to 40 miles was formed. It was far from the damage one would expect when a Martial Dipper Realm expert blew up.
The look of fright on Huang Yus face had yet to fade as he was situated near the heart of the crater. He stared at Shang Xia who seemed a little too damn young to possess the strength he did before his expression loosened. Shock, gratification, and other emotions flashed across his face as they eventually condensed into a complicated expression. He didnt expect the youngster before him to be able to suppress the power of Young Master Dugus self-detonation!
Who would have thought that Shang Xias sigh of regret would enter his ears the next moment? What a shame my Five Element Space is not perfect enough. If I was able to contain the blast to an area of less than 10 miles, it would be much easier for them to restore the path between our You Continent and the Ji Continent
Huang Yus lips started to twitch and his eyelids were jumping. It was clear he was starting to feel like punching the youngster in front of him.
Sensing Huang Yus strange expression, Shang Xia couldnt help but turn to look at him. Whats the matter with you?
Adjusting his emotions, Huang Yu decided to remind him, Right. Now that the sword qi in the valley is gone, all the spiritual beasts in the area that had been suppressed by it will start to become a lot more active. Everyone who uses this path in the future might be threatened
Shang Xia chuckled softly in response. Clearly, that wasnt a problem for experts at their level to solve.
Now that they had settled everything, Shang Xia had a lot of questions he wanted to ask. He didnt know where to start, and he eventually muttered, What do you plan to do next?
With Dugu Gaolou and Cao Zixius death, Im afraid I wont be able to use this identity anymore in the future. Fortunately, I left several backup plans in the Spirit Abundance World and the Land of Star Origin. I should be able to use them to change my appearance and aura before turning to the Spirit Abundance World Huang Yu laughed in response.
A frown appeared on Shang Xias face. Are you still going back to the Spirit Abundance World? Whats the point?
According to Shang Xia, it didnt matter if the Azure Ascension World would be able to resist the invasion. There was no point in Huang Yu returning to the Spirit Abundance World. Moreover, Huang Yu had been carrying out his duty for tens of years in other worlds. Shang Xia felt that his contributions were more than enough from all the hard work he had put in and he should be more than capable of retiring. There was no need to risk his life for the institution any longer.
Huang Yu chuckled in response, The sea of stars is limitless How many worlds do you think there are in total? I barely scratched the surface. Theres still a long way to go and I wish to head out there to take a look
A bitter smile appeared on Shang Xias face. This This is really
Huang Yu chuckled before explaining, The Spirit Abundance World might seem extremely strong, but in actuality, they hadnt even mobilized a third of their true strength.
Before Shang Xia could ask anything, Huang Yu continued, Yes. This is the maximum number of experts they can deploy. The Spirit Abundance World isnt free of enemies. There are also other worlds with their eyes on them and there might even exist worlds that surpass Spirit Worlds out there Its something we have no idea about!
I understand. Shang Xia nodded before asking again, For them to come over here with you Now that youre the only survivor now that they died, do you think the experts of the Spirit Abundance World will suspect you?
They wont just suspect me. Im afraid some people outside the heavenly screen have already learned of what happened Huang Yu chuckled softly while looking at Shang Xia.
Shang Xia gasped in shock. What? Who?
Huang Yu pointed at the center of the crater and explained, Dugu Gaolou is a direct descendant of the only Sixth Order Ancestor of the Solitary Peak Heavenly Lake, Dugu Yuanshan. In the Dugu Family, he has the greatest chance of breaking through to the Sixth Order and taking over Dugu Yuanshans position in the family to inherit the Solitary Peak Heavenly Lake. Pausing to take in Shang Xias look of shock, Huang Yus laughter didnt stop. Instead, he seemed to be happier than before. For someone who is specially nurtured by Dugu Yuanshan to inherit the Solitary Peak Heavenly Lake Do you think Dugu Yuanshan would have already learned of his death?
Shang Xia only reacted after some time. Were you already plotting to kill them from the beginning?
Huang Yu didnt answer the question directly. Instead, he pointed at the other corpse. Anyway, Cao Zixiu isnt some random loser either. Its said that hes a direct disciple of the Grand Island Master Qin Wuyin of the Azure Island! Qin Wuyin places great emphasis on him and it wasnt impossible for him to become another Sixth Order Island Master in the future. Of course, there were rumors out there that he was an illegitimate son left behind by Grand Island Master Qin. However, no one has been able to prove anything.
Shang Xia no longer asked about his motive for killing the 2 of them. Instead, he sighed, Looks like you really wont be able to use your current identity any longer
Even though Shang Xia worked together with Huang Yu and killed Dugu Gaolou and Cao Zixiu within the Sword Valley without anyone seeing them, as high-level experts who were valued by their factions, sending out some information wasnt going to be too difficult. In fact, they might have already made preparations for even higher level experts to help in case they ran into trouble. It was just that everything happened too quickly and the Sixth Order experts couldnt step through the heavenly screen to provide assistance.
Perhaps, Dugu Yuanshan not only knew that Dugu Gaolou had been killed. He might also know who the culprits were!
Also, it wasnt as though Dugu Gaolou, Cao Zixiu, and Huang Yus entry to the Sword Valley went unnoticed. People might have seen them before they entered.
Whatever it was, Huang Yu looked completely unaffected. It was as though he didnt give half a shit about the threat from a Sixth Order Ancestor or two.
Shang Xia couldnt help but ask, How do you plan on going back to the Spirit Abundance World anyway?
Kou Chongxue is about to enter the Sixth Order, right? Huang Yu laughed softly in response.
Slightly taken aback, Shang Xia mumbled, Yeah, he should be planning something like that? He didnt give a definitive answer.
Huang Yu stared at Shang Xia with a smile that didnt seem like a smile. Since Im giving up this identity, Ill just get him to send me to the Land of Star Origin after he breaks through.
Shang Xia nodded subconsciously, but he quickly reacted. Then again, would that mean that youre going to remain in the You Continent for some time? Its not really suitable for you to reveal your appearance in the outside world Why dont you hide in the Tongyou City for some time and take care of things there?
Huang Yu was in no way weak. If he was willing to remain in the city and borrow the power of the grand formation, he would be able to hold 2 to 3 experts at the same level back. When that happened, Shang Xia would have nothing to worry about and he could fully focus on the battle at the heavenly screen.
Huang Yu laughed in response, Why else did you think I would bait them all the way over here?
Actually, the moment Huang Yu entered the Azure Ascension World, he already had plans to take care of the You Continent.
Ji Wenlong, Shang Bo, and Yun Jing definitely knew of his intentions. Otherwise, the 3 of them wouldnt be able to take part in the battle above the heavenly screen wholeheartedly and not worry about the Tongyou City being attacked by the experts of the Spirit Abundance World.
Huang Yu rummaged through Cao Zixius corpse and found a storage pouch. With practiced ease, he took out a sealed jade bottle. The moment he broke the seal, a strand of dipper qi emerged. Satisfied, he sealed it back up.
A slight smile appeared on Huang Yus face. Alright, theres nothing to worry about now. I wont have to continue pretending to be a third element Martial Dipper Realm expert and expose myself
Seeing how Shang Xia was looking at him, Huang Yu explained, Cao Zixiu was carrying a pretty special Origin Dipper on him. It was something Grand Island Master Qin Wuyin personally obtained and it was supposed to be Cao Zixius fourth fate dipper. When he mentioned it back then, I realized it was extremely suitable for me.
Thats why you planned to kill him
Shang Xia might not have said that out loud, but that was definitely what he was thinking.
After the battle that killed 2 important figures of the younger generation of the Spirit Abundance World, it wasnt as though Shang Xia didnt gain anything. At the very least, he obtained a good portion of fate dipper essence from Cao Zixiu when he was killed by Shang Xias Five Element Dipper Qi.
Before Dugu Gaolou self-detonated, Shang Xia killed 2 of his Fate Dipper Clones and gathered up the fate dipper essence left over.
It was a shame Dugu Gaolou detonated his Water and Fire Fate Dippers. Shang Xia failed to obtain fate dipper essences from them and Dugu Gaolous belongings were also blown up in the process.
The 2 of them cleaned up the battlefield quickly before returning to the Tongyou City.
Along the way, Shang Xia asked, Your cultivation is at the second element of the Martial Dipper Realm, but I sensed that you were at the third element How did you conceal your true cultivation from all of them?
As the battle above the heavenly screen grew in intensity, the experts of the Azure Ascension World learned a lot about the experts pouring in from the other side. One of the most obvious things they learned was how none of those coming from the Spirit Abundance World had cultivation below the third element of the Martial Dipper Realm.
Clearly, all of those who could head over to the Azure Abundance World were chosen by their respective factions. The people who made the choice might even be the Sixth Order Ancestors Shang Xia truly wondered how Huang Yu was able to deceive them.
With a smile on his face, Huang Yu seemed prepared for Shang Xias question. Thats because of a talisman I got my hands on.
Talisman? Shang Xias interest was piqued.
Huang Yu seemed to already know that Shang Xia had become a rank five Talisman Grandmaster and he brought out a case from his sleeves. Theres a rank five Illusion Talisman contained within. The illusion Im referring to isnt the illusion you find yourself in. Instead, its an illusion that allows you to change your cultivation realm. I used it to pretend to be a third element Martial Dipper Realm expert. As long as I dont take part in any fights, even Sixth Order Ancestors wont be able to discover my true cultivation level if they arent extremely thorough in their examination.
Does such a strange talisman actually exist Shang Xia mumbled to himself. However, he seemed really interested as he wanted to open the box and study the talisman contained within.
Huang Yu continued, This is something I obtained in the Land of Star Origin. I only managed to get my hands on 2 of them but not the crafting method. Im afraid it wont be easy to create this talisman. After all, its a rank five talisman
He was clearly warning Shang Xia not to think about studying the talisman when the Azure Ascension World was on the verge of being invaded, and Shang Xia clearly understood his meaning. Huang Yu added, There are also several talisman-crafting inheritances I found in the Spirit Abundance World and the Land of Star Origin contained in the case. There are talismans of different styles and schools of thought. There are some strange ones among them and there are also several which require extremely cruel crafting methods. You can use them to improve your art, but do not try to recreate some of them
Shang Xia could hear the concern Huang Yu had for him through his introduction of the contents of the case and the warnings he had given. In fact, he could tell that Huang Yu seemed careful with his choice of words and he was afraid Shang Xia would be annoyed if he talked too much.
Grateful for everything Huang Yu was doing, Shang Xia laughed, Of course! I will remember seniors words of wisdom! I will carefully study the contents within in the future.
Seeing as Shang Xia understood his intentions, Huang Yus grin grew wider on his face and he laughed, Alright, youre the expert in talismans Im just saying whatever I think matters Anyway, there should be some good stuff in the case. There are around 6 complete rank four talisman inheritances. There are 2 rank five talisman inheritances, but the rank five talisman inheritances might not be complete and you need to figure them out yourself
Theyre truly a superior world
