Guan Yue took out the items he obtained from that secret place and showed them to the Western Celestial Law Ancestor. He selected some familiar medicines and magical treasures, but there were many he did not recognize, likely things that had only appeared in recent millennia.
Hearing that most of the people in the private room had drunk the tea Guan Yue sent over, he walked back to the servant's room to wait for her return. Upon seeing him, the servant immediately smiled and said, "I'm sorry, but two people still haven't had their tea. My apologies." As she spoke, she attempted to return the Golden Zhu Jade that Guan Yue had just given her.
Guan Yue smiled and said, "I came here to give you a piece of white Vermilion Jade. You did well with your task. But remember, you cannot speak of this to anyone." Guan Yue whispered this to her.
The girl held the two pieces of Vermilion Jade and immediately wanted to kneel down to thank Guan Yue, but he turned around and left.
Now it was good; the Vermilion Jade samples given by Na Dong and Na Xi were nearly used up. However, Guan Yue felt very pleased. It was somewhat magical that giving rewards to others brought him such joy!
After leaving the teahouse, Guan Yue checked into an inn. In his room, he explained his action plan in detail to the Western Celestial Law Ancestor. The Western Celestial Law Ancestor agreed with Guan Yue's plan and offered some suggestions. He understood that now it was Guan Yue who called the shots; he could only provide advice. Having experienced countless hardships throughout his life, he knew how to position himself correctly in this situation. Moreover, he needed Guan Yue to implement some of his ideas.
Guan Yue had been puzzled because ever since he heard those whispered messages, he felt that among the representatives of the Southern Source Empire in that private room, there was someone he recognized. However, since it was whispered communication, Guan Yue could not confirm who it was specifically, but he knew for sure that he knew this person!
Guan Yue's target remained Du Pengyang because the cultivation resources were handed over by Mr. Jin. Therefore, he should start investigating from him.
Five days was enough time to prepare a lot.
During these five days, under the guidance of the Western Celestial Law Ancestor, Guan Yue diligently practiced the Magic Supreme Technique several times. With the Ancestor's personal instruction, Guan Yue gained deeper insights and understanding. Mo Tianhua also began practicing the Magic Supreme Technique because he had absorbed enough Origin of Magic.
What made Guan Yue envious was that Mo Tianhua learned the Magic Supreme Technique quickly and excelled at it right away—truly a prodigious talent. The words spoken by the Western Celestial Law Ancestor in great delight only fueled Guan Yue's jealousy: "There's nothing I can do; Tianhua's inheritance is excellent."
In his spare time, Guan Yue also took out the Red-Topped Grass from the small stone. The Western Celestial Law Ancestor gasped in surprise, his eyes wide as saucers, and his voice trembled: "Guan Yue, how did you discover this treasure? The Red-Topped Grass! A divine-level magical item! Let my grandson Tianhua take it. This piece of Red-Topped Grass is especially useful for our demon race; after taking it, Tianhua could quickly reach the Eternal Realm. He currently has energy stored within him for over ten thousand years but cannot unleash it. With this Red-Topped Grass, at least seventy percent of his stored power can be utilized. I will trade you a divine artifact for it; what do you say?"
A divine artifact? This monkey actually has a divine artifact? He has been hiding it quite well.
"Then what effect would it have if I took it?" Guan Yue asked slowly. "It won't be useless for me, right?"
The Western Celestial Law Ancestor secretly cursed inwardly: "You prodigy; nothing escapes your notice." But outwardly he said: "Of course, if you take it, there are benefits as well, but it's not as significant as for Tianhua. Besides, I will give you a divine artifact in exchange. Just trade with me."
Hearing the eager tone of the Western Celestial Law Ancestor, Guan Yue realized that if he did not agree, there would be a rift between them in the future. So he decided to let Tianhua use it; after all, a divine artifact could be exchanged.
Seeing Guan Yue nod in agreement, the Western Celestial Law Ancestor immediately took out a jade bottle. He solemnly told Guan Yue: "This is the Heavenly Pure Bottle; this jade bottle itself is a divine artifact with a capacity to hold nine great rivers and three seas. It can even contain vast celestial rainbows within it. However, your current cultivation level is still low; you can only use part of its functions for now. Inside this Heavenly Pure Bottle is Source of Jiuquan—celestial wine consumed by immortals from beyond the nine heavens. It is rich and fragrant with a lingering taste; its essence is like fragrance and its rhythm like dreams—an experience unlike any other on earth."
Guan Yue rarely heard Western Celestial Law Ancestor speak at such length, and the expression on his monkey-like face was very vivid, indicating that he truly appreciated the wine.
"Why have I never seen you drink before?" Gao Yuxin asked Guan Yue, voicing what was on her mind.
Western Celestial Law Ancestor glanced at Mo Tianhua and then hesitantly replied, "Drinking can lead to enjoyment, but it can also lead to mistakes. I made a grave mistake because of drinking."
"What kind of grave mistake could make you decide not to drink such fine wine from the heavens? It seems this wine isn't worth it," Gao Yuxin provocatively challenged Western Celestial Law Ancestor. He exclaimed, "It is truly good wine, unmatched in the world. But I made a mistake while drinking and lost my beloved wife." He unintentionally glanced at Mo Tianhua, and a few blushes appeared on his pale face.
What a peculiar person! No wonder he quit drinking; it turns out he lost his wife because of it! This Western Celestial Law Ancestor is just as unreliable as Gao Yuxin.
"It must be the Magic Supreme Technique that harmed you," Gao Yuxin thoughtlessly blamed Magic Supreme Technique, having held a negative opinion of it from the start.
However, Western Celestial Law Ancestor shook his head vigorously and said, "That was before I practiced the Magic Supreme Technique. Ever since I began practicing it, my Willpower has been resolute, and I have been determined to fight against the heavens and challenge Heaven's Will, refusing to bow down or beg for mercy. As a result, not only did I overcome my addiction to alcohol, but my cultivation also improved rapidly, as if I had become a different person. Therefore, I insist that Tianhua must learn the Magic Supreme Technique as well. We must continue to fight against the heavens!"
Gao Yuxin huffed and fell silent.
Meanwhile, Guan Yue became interested in the wine in the jade bottle; he definitely wanted to try this Celestial Brew in the future.
Little did they know that after consuming the Red-Topped Grass, Mo Tianhua was about to break through again. Guan Yue hurriedly took him to a remote and desolate valley far from the city to protect him. This time, Mo Tianhua's breakthrough occurred continuously, causing earth-shattering sounds throughout the valley. The wind howled like thunder and rain poured down heavily, frightening all the wild beasts and animals in the mountains into fleeing far away. It also alarmed the Great Power who were cultivating deep within the mountains among the Loose Practitioners.
However, the commotion caused by Mo Tianhua was so great that these Loose Practitioners were too intimidated to act recklessly. After several days of this tumultuous event, Mo Tianhua miraculously reached the Eternal Realm. He became an absolute figure of power, regarded as one of the top experts even within the entire Southern Source Empire and Vast Empire.
Yet his breakthrough delayed the handover time between Du Pengyang and Mr. Jin, which left Guan Yue feeling quite regretful. However, now that Mo Tianhua had become an expert in the Eternal Realm, it was somewhat compensatory. So as soon as Mo Tianhua finished his breakthrough, Guan Yue immediately set out with him to track down Du Pengyang.
They discovered that Du Pengyang had already returned to Wandering City, indicating that the handover had been completed. The cultivation resources had now entered into the territory of the Southern Source Empire.
Thus, Guan Yue hurried back to Qilin Academy. He had his own plans.
On the way, Western Celestial Law Ancestor told Guan Yue: Now that Mo Tianhua has reached the Eternal Realm, he can no longer stay in the Southern Source Empire. Therefore, he intends to send Mo Tianhua back to their family’s ancestral land so that he can continue to grow there. Of course, he said he would wait for Guan Yue to secure cultivation resources before leaving.
A wave of disappointment washed over Guan Yue. Although he had known Western Celestial Law Ancestor for less than a year, under his guidance, he had rarely made mistakes and gained much from him; he felt like a mentor and friend. Hearing that he would leave truly saddened him.
Although he would return someday, it was uncertain when that would be. At this moment, Guan Yue realized how few true friends he had. The gap between him and those worthy of deep friendship was growing wider. It left him feeling powerless and helpless.
The tracker indicated that someone had met with Du Pengyang. Although Guan Yue did not know who this person was, he still followed the tracker’s signal and continued to tail this individual. He tracked the person along the path they took after leaving the Vast Empire.
Eventually, they arrived at the Gerson Mountain Range! Yes, it was indeed the Gerson Mountain Range, which is very close to Qilin Academy. Guan Yue had once obtained the Peak Fire Sprite here and even recovered memories from his past life.
What was going on? Could this matter be related to Qilin Academy?
Upon reaching this place, Guan Yue dared not let his guard down, as he might encounter students from Qilin Academy here, or even teachers. It was also possible that a tragedy could occur here due to Sky Peak Tower. Guan Yue could imagine that the turmoil surrounding Sky Peak Tower would certainly reach Qilin Academy.
Guan Yue urged Mo Tianhua to cautiously approach their target. At this moment, Guan Yue felt extremely anxious; he was eager to find out who this person was. Could it really be Mr. Jin?
The surrounding mountains felt both familiar and strange, yet the forest was still full of vitality. Various animals, fierce beasts, and spirit beasts roamed about; trees were growing, and flowers were blooming.
This was the Gerson Mountain Range, the land of Southern Source Empire. This was also where Guan Yue had grown up. He felt a special fondness for every blade of grass and tree here. After crossing the border of Southern Source Empire once, he had heard rumors of someone attempting to sell out Southern Source Empire to Vast Empire. This made his feelings for this place even stronger!
He would not allow anyone to do such a thing; he would fight to defend the empire! Of course, if he could gain maximum benefits from the battle, that would be ideal.
As he gradually approached the target person, Guan Yue felt inexplicably nervous, even he himself did not know why. Was it really so important to know who this person was? No matter who he was, I must keep him within my grasp and not let him take a single step further. Guan Yue reminded himself that what mattered was not discovering who he was but rather that what he was doing was wrong! Their plans must not succeed.
Once again, a formation appeared before him, blocking Guan Yue's path forward. He was very familiar with this formation. He could hardly believe his eyes!
How could it be this kind of formation! Guan Yue truly wanted to cry!
