"There's no need for that. Do I not trust you? However, Nation must not be left alive; otherwise, it will lead to serious trouble," Guan Yue instructed. At this moment, Guan Yue had become an ideal friend in Jiang Ming's eyes. He valued every word spoken by Guan Yue, as the power behind him was too formidable.
With a swift turn, Guan Yue pulled Nation out from Sky Peak Tower. All of Nation's cultivation had vanished completely.
Seeing Nation suddenly appear, both Jiang Ming and Carefree Traveler were overjoyed. Jiang Ming immediately ordered his subordinates to confine Nation in his secret place, then returned to drink with Guan Yue, filled with joy. Now, he could fully grasp the prince's plans, allowing him to act more strategically.
Only in this way could he ensure his invincibility.
At that moment, Northern Champion arrived, having been notified by Carefree Traveler. He proudly shared with Guan Yue the emperor's commendation and promotion he had received, expressing his desire to treat Guan Yue to a celebratory drink.
Upon hearing this, Guan Yue immediately replied, "That's not good. The emperor has already begun to suspect you."
"What? The Emperor suspects me?" Northern Champion was incredulous.
Guan Yue quickly analyzed, "Think about it calmly. If you were the emperor and your favorite son had died, wouldn't you seek revenge? Wouldn't you want to kill? Yet he has done nothing and has even granted you greater power while allowing your army to unleash slaughter. Isn't it clear what he means?"
"So you're saying that this Emperor is really targeting me?" A cold sweat broke out on Northern Champion. His face turned pale.
"In that case, focus on doing your job well. During this time, avoid going anywhere and do not use the military. Remember this: using the military without permission is a grave taboo for the emperor. This time you captured soldiers from the Dawson Empire, so the emperor has nothing to say. But if you use the military again next time, it will be your doom," Guan Yue said seriously, his youthful face showing a solemn expression.
Northern Champion nodded repeatedly, "I understand, I understand."
Guan Yue added, "Carefree Traveler is an expert in handling affairs; you should listen to his advice more often to ensure peace of mind."
Hearing this from Guan Yue, Northern Champion smiled and said, "That's true; Carefree Traveler has already helped me a lot. When I have time in the future, I will definitely treat both of you to drinks."
Jiang Ming also said, "Then the Northern General should return to his post immediately. Do your best and make sure not to make any mistakes."
The Northern Champion immediately stood up and said, "I will return right away, fulfilling my duties and ensuring that the Emperor can rest assured."
Jiang Ming smiled and said, "Serving the emperor is like being with a tiger; you must be careful." With this statement, Jiang Ming indicated that he would not mind the Northern Champion referring to him as the Emperor's son, but respect for the Emperor was essential. Otherwise, one could face dire consequences.
Since the Northern Champion had become familiar with Jiang Ming and Carefree Traveler, he dared to speak freely. Upon hearing Jiang Ming's words, he quickly realized that he needed to leave.
Guan Yue listened to Jiang Ming's words and felt a sense of resentment towards him; he also stood up to take his leave. He believed that Jiang Ming did not regard the Northern Champion as a friend, and of course, he would not consider himself one either. There was no point in continuing the conversation, so he hurried to depart.
Carefree Traveler noticed Guan Yue's expression and understood the situation. He smiled and said, "Jiang Ming, you should apologize to Brother Guan Tian."
Jiang Ming immediately understood Carefree Traveler's meaning and apologized, saying, "I was anxious earlier; I spoke harshly out of concern for the Northern General's safety. In truth, I genuinely worry about his well-being. He is now considered my friend, and if something were to happen, it would be a heavy blow for me."
Seeing that Carefree Traveler had spoken on his behalf, Guan Yue naturally felt it inappropriate to leave immediately. When Jiang Ming saw that Guan Yue agreed to stay, he happily said, "Brother Guan's persuasion regarding the Northern General was like a wake-up call for me. I realize that I am not as perceptive or understanding as you are."
Guan Yue chuckled and replied, "How would I know the Emperor's intentions? I merely advised him to be cautious, especially since he is now a friend of your highness; it is best if nothing goes wrong."
Carefree Traveler admired how articulate Guan Yue was at such a young age. He then said, "Brother Guan, would you be willing to form a brotherhood with us?"
"I dare not accept such an honor. I truly do not deserve it," Guan Yue quickly expressed his opposition.
Carefree Traveler appeared slightly disappointed. Jiang Ming noticed Guan Yue's expression and knew he could not force him into anything at this moment. So he said, "Is there anything troubling you that I can assist with? If you have any requests, I will do my utmost to help."
Guan Yue's expression darkened as he slowly replied, "There is one matter; my junior sister has yet to return."
Jiang Ming's expression darkened. "I cannot help with this matter, but I will use my connections to try and find out her whereabouts." Guan Yue's ultimate goal in coming here was to ask Jiang Ming for help in locating Jin Xi, as the imperial intelligence network was far more advanced than others.
After bidding farewell to Jiang Ming and Carefree Traveler, Guan Yue arrived at the Heavenly Intent Auction House and found Ouyang Xinyi. He directly said, "Boss, I need to find out about a person's whereabouts. Please help me."
Seeing Guan Yue so anxious, Ouyang Xinyi immediately agreed to help and quickly relayed the request to his subordinates. Then he jokingly added, "Brother, I've been waiting for your ten thousand pounds of Celestial Wine with great anticipation."
Guan Yue replied, "I came here this time to deliver that ten thousand pounds of wine. Do you have any Universal Rings? Give me a few. I can trade you something for them."
Ouyang Xinyi perked up immediately. "I have quite a few excellent treasures here. How about you trade me your Celestial Wine for them?"
"Alright, this is the ten thousand pounds of wine I owe you." Guan Yue took out a small bottle and handed it to Ouyang Xinyi.
Ouyang Xinyi hurriedly went out and after quite a while, he returned to Guan Yue's side. "Here are five treasures. These two are particularly suitable for women; they are Storage Chains. This one is a Cosmic Ring with a very large capacity. These are two utility belts; you can use them to store living things, and they can hold an army inside. However, they are quite valuable. These are absolute treasures that are hard to find in Yongning Continent."
Guan Yue carefully examined these treasures and knew they were indeed valuable. But there were only two Storage Chains; who should he give them to?
"Boss, do you have any more of these chains? Having only two puts me in a difficult position," Guan Yue said with a troubled expression.
"Oh dear, it seems you have quite a few female friends. Is two not enough? How many do you need? These items are treasures I've accumulated over hundreds of years; I can't bear to let anyone else use them. And you're still complaining it's not enough," Ouyang Xinyi pretended to be angry.
Guan Yue smiled wryly and said, "Keep an eye out for more in the future. For these five treasures, I'll give you ten thousand pounds of Celestial Wine, and for each additional Storage Chain you provide in the future, I'll give you another five thousand pounds of wine."
Ouyang Xinyi was overjoyed but still shouted, "Did your master teach you how to count? How can you not figure this out?"
"I'm just bad at math; what's wrong with that?" Guan Yue took out another ten thousand pounds of Celestial Wine and handed it to Ouyang Xinyi. Ouyang Xinyi immediately began calculating how to use this Celestial Wine to hold several more auctions since it had been a long time since they had any stock available. Now that he had some wine to auction off, he was sure it would fetch a good price.
Of course, he also noted down the matter of the Storage Chain. A Storage Chain containing five thousand pounds of Celestial Wine is worth a fortune! He must find it, no matter the cost, even if it means getting hurt in the process.
Haha, I already have over twenty thousand pounds of Celestial Wine, counting the money until my hands cramp! Haha. Ouyang Xinyi had a beaming smile on his face, and it seemed like he was about to drool.
Guan Yue did not hesitate either; he immediately tied a belt around his waist and made it recognize him as its master. Its uses would be numerous from now on. Hehe.
After bidding farewell to Ouyang Xinyi, Guan Yue quickly found a very secluded spot to begin studying the Sky-Sealing Tower.
Among all the divine artifacts that have emerged, there is a very clear ranking. The top one hundred artifacts are all incredibly powerful and fearsome, making them the objects of desire for disciples everywhere.
The Sky-Sealing Tower ranks eighth among them. The Ancient Master of Forging, Mo Jiao, only has one artifact in the top hundred ranking, which is the Sky Peak Tower, but it ranks only eighty-ninth.
The Sky-Sealing Tower is a well-known artifact with a high ranking, and Guan Yue was naturally drooling over it. Now that he had obtained the Sky-Sealing Tower, he was eager to study it.
It was evident that the Sky-Sealing Tower had been buried underground for over a thousand years. The surface of the tower had a muddy smell, but its red color remained prominent.
From the outside, the tower had nine levels. The craftsmanship of the tower was exquisite. The red color was not just on the surface; the entire tower was made from red material. The tower felt incredibly light, as if it weighed only a few ounces. The whole structure appeared seamless, as if it were naturally formed.
Guan Yue examined it carefully and then used the old trick of blood recognition to drop his blood onto the body of the Sky-Sealing Tower. Immediately, he saw colors shifting on the tower.
In the end, it still displayed red. Guan Yue issued commands to the Sky-Sealing Tower using the same instructions he had mastered with the Sky Peak Tower, but there was no response at all.
Now Guan Yue was anxious; having a Sky-Sealing Tower that couldn't be used was truly frustrating.
Guan Yue inspected it repeatedly; just now when he dripped blood on it, its colors changed, indicating that it had begun to recognize him as its master. However, the conditions were not sufficient for completion of the recognition process.
Guan Yue continued to drip his blood onto it. The Sky-Sealing Tower began to change colors again, and only after Guan Yue had dripped five drops of blood did the tower make a clanging sound, and a small door suddenly opened. A very transparent piece of paper extended out.
Guan Yue smiled; it turned out to be a user manual. Just like in his previous life, whenever he bought something, it always came with a user manual.
He immediately opened the manual and was startled. It turned out that this Frost Tower had countless functions, even more complex than the user manual for the Three-Dimensional Vehicle from his previous life.
Thus, Guan Yue calmed himself down and began to read carefully. It took him three hours to finish reading the manual. To summarize, the Sky-Sealing Tower had five main functions.
1. Protection Function
2. Attack Function
3. Transformation Function
4. Space Function
5. Various Storage Functions
He temporarily ignored other functions that were not applicable at the moment.
After understanding the purpose of the Sky-Sealing Tower, Guan Yue decided to test its functions. He then realized that the Sky-Sealing Tower was indeed far more advanced than the Sky Peak Tower.
