He finally suppressed his impatient heart. He knew that now was not the best time, and he would find another opportunity. As long as he captured a senior figure from the Nanshan Sect, he could use that to exchange for Fang West; he was not yet in despair!
So he immediately prepared to leave. However, the disciples of both the Nanshan Sect and Nanyue Sect had tightly surrounded Guan Yue. They wanted to take advantage of Feng Zhi Yi and Lei Zhenxiao's frontal attack while they picked up the scraps from the side.
But they underestimated Guan Yue.
When Guan Yue decided to leave, he swung his Artifact Gold Sword vigorously. Suddenly, golden light filled the sky, and the Nine-Colored Radiance spread out like a vast expanse, causing the heavens and earth to tremble and the ground to shake. This was the power of the Origin Tool, making any attempts to intercept him futile. As the Artifact Gold Sword cleaved through all obstacles, Guan Yue used a teleportation technique and was already dozens of miles away. After several more teleports, Guan Yue's whereabouts had completely vanished.
Lei Zhenxiao led the disciples in pursuit for three thousand miles before quietly returning. However, this battle had salvaged a lot of face for Lei Zhenxiao; after all, he had managed to confine Guan Yue and kept him in a state of utter embarrassment.
Thus, he returned to the Nanshan Sect.
But he did not stop his actions; he would continue to pursue Guan Yue and ultimately bring him to justice.
Feng Zhi Yi did not participate in the pursuit of Guan Yue but instead reflected on her experience from their earlier battle to think of ways to deal with him. She had already regarded Guan Yue as her greatest rival.
She must defeat him! No matter what treasures he possessed, she had to overcome him! She could not allow his existence to cast a psychological shadow over her. She was invincible.
However, for whatever reason, Guan Yue's handsome image had left an indelible impression in her heart.
Guan Yue was filled with rage; he harbored deep-seated hatred for the Nanshan Sect. The Invincible's abundant Fire Opal felt like a gift from Guan Yue to them; it was a humiliation for him, and he vowed to make them pay back double!
At the same time, he deeply regretted his actions. Since he knew that the Nanshan Sect could track Invincible's whereabouts, he should have decisively abandoned Invincible. Instead, he had been obsessed with his immense Combat Power, allowing Fang West to fall into their clutches. His heart burned with anger over Fang West's capture. He decided to launch relentless attacks against the Nanshan Sect.
He felt guilty towards Fang Hanshan and Direction East; they trusted him and entrusted Fang West to him, yet he allowed Fang West to be captured by the Nanshan Sect. It was his fault!
No matter what, he must rescue Fang West!
Gao Yuxin accompanied Elder Patriarch of the Crimson Fire Family throughout the Celestial Repository event. Thanks to her full support, Elder Patriarch managed to endure this period.
The Crimson Fire Family was very grateful for Gao Yuxin's help; not only did it rejuvenate Elder Patriarch’s vitality, but it also allowed him to persist throughout the entire assault on the Celestial Repository without revealing any signs of weakness.
However, Gao Yuxin herself did not understand how such a process could occur. How could the Celestial Repository be breached? And there was even an Ascension Ladder inside? Because she had heard about Guan Yue's information, she felt it necessary to clarify the relationship involved.
Taking advantage of Gao Yuxin treating him, Elder Patriarch explained to her about the events concerning the Celestial Repository.
The Celestial Repository is a powerful neutral force in the upper realm that collects Heavenly Treasures and other treasures from across the Primal Universe. It is a wandering space, and once discovered, if you possess sufficient strength to breach it, outstanding talents can enter the Ascension Ladder for trials. Anyone who reaches the second tier will receive rewards, which consist of the treasures housed within the Celestial Repository.
All items collected by the Celestial Repository are considered treasures, and the better one performs on the Ascension Ladder, the greater the rewards received. For instance, this time, Guan Yue has ascended to Ten Steps, which means he should receive the largest reward, while Feng Zhi Yi, Mo Fei, and Xuanyuan Wujie will also gain significant benefits. Even Lei Zhenxiao will receive treasure rewards.
Why do they do this? Because they are human! They hope for humanity's strength, so they have organized many experts to search for treasures throughout the universe and consolidate them in the Celestial Repository to empower humanity's talents. This deeply moves the Old Man.
They foresee that soon humanity will face fierce battles against other races, and at that time, many strong humans will be needed to combat various invasions. Therefore, they are taking proactive steps to prepare humanity.
These individuals truly represent humanity's hope.
The group managing the Heavenly Treasures includes Disciples from our Dragon Python Celestial Domain. Thus, the Celestial Repository has appeared multiple times in the Dragon Python Celestial Domain over the past five thousand years. We have benefited from these Disciples' efforts, which also indicates their deep affection for our Dragon Python Celestial Domain; they do not wish to see it fall.
However, over thousands of years, few Disciples have managed to ascend the Ascension Ladder, and those who reach Ten Steps are even rarer. Guan Yue is a genius among them; he is truly formidable. Those who reach the ninth tier of the Ascension Ladder are already quite rare; their cultivation throughout their lives is astonishing. Now with Guan Yue emerging, humanity has even more support in the impending calamities.
After listening to Elder Patriarch's lengthy introduction, Gao Yuxin finally understood the reasons behind it all. She felt deeply happy for Guan Yue; gold will always shine. Guan Yue is destined to shine brightly on his journey through life.
Hearing that Guan Yue had seized an Invincible Giant Warship, Gao Yuxin realized that he intended to use the Invincible Battleship to rush to Waydao Empire in search of their stronghold. Gao Yuxin felt a surge of longing and was eager to return home. She began discussing with Lat's Hand about leaving Crimson Fire Clan for Waydao Empire.
Upon hearing Gao Yuxin's intentions, Crimson Fire Family immediately agreed to her returning to Waydao Empire for a visit but requested that she maintain a long-term cooperative relationship with them in helping their patriarch heal. They promised to do their utmost to help Gao Yuxin achieve all her wishes.
After discussing with Lat's Hand, Gao Yuxin agreed to keep a cooperative relationship with Crimson Fire Family moving forward. They requested that Crimson Fire Family provide them with a spaceship for easier travel between Waydao Empire and Crimson Fire Family.
Crimson Fire Family fully agreed and gifted them a high-grade spaceship while also sending crew members to assist them in mastering its operation. Additionally, they dispatched a massive Battleship to escort them toward Waydao Empire for family reunification.
Reunification was merely Gao Yuxin's excuse.
After leaving behind ample supplies of medicine for their patriarch's needs, Gao Yuxin boarded the spaceship with Lat's Hand heading toward Waydao Empire.
Chihuo Yang accompanied them throughout the journey. Chihuo Yang is an elder responsible for external affairs in Crimson Fire Family; he has always trusted Gao Yuxin but harbors doubts about Lat's Hand, who often speaks carelessly. This greatly displeased Lat's Hand!
As they approached Waydao Empire, Chihuo Yang unexpectedly asked Gao Yuxin to help treat a royal uncle from Waydao Empire, claiming he was a friend's father. Lat's Hand was furious and firmly opposed it. He simply wanted to go against Chihuo Yang without any other reason.
Gao Yuxin pondered quietly: "With so many of us heading to Waydao Empire, relying solely on Dao Zhen Sect might not be enough. Establishing connections with the royal family of Waydao Empire could be beneficial; however, I wonder what status this sick person holds within the royal family.
I hope this does not bring trouble to Dao Zhen Sect."
Thus, Gao Yuxin carefully inquired further and discovered that this long-ill person was actually the Emperor's father-in-law.
Gao Yuxin couldn't help but glance at Chihuo Yang. His abilities were indeed impressive, after all, he was an elder in charge of foreign affairs, building connections everywhere. It seemed that they would have to rely on him more in the future.
Under repeated inquiries from Lat's Hand, Chihuo Yang finally explained why he had taken a boat back to the Dopolaran Continent. It was because some of the items they were carrying could not be loaded onto the Battleship or the airship. Lat's Hand kept asking what those items were, but Chihuo Yang refused to disclose any details, leaving Lat's Hand staring in frustration. However, Lat's Hand became even more curious about what could possibly be so important that it couldn't be transported by the Battleship or airship.
When Gao Yuxin asked, Chihuo Yang honestly revealed that he had good relationships with over thirty royal families. This made Gao Yuxin secretly admire him. It seemed that relying on him would be essential moving forward. It appeared that forming a connection with the Crimson Fire Family was indeed the right decision. Of course, she also needed to avoid making enemies with the foes of the Crimson Fire Family.
Thus, Gao Yuxin inquired in detail about the grudges between those families and the Crimson Fire Family. Chihuo Yang answered honestly, "Our Crimson Fire Family has a decent relationship with the Major Powers, but it's not great either. Aside from two families we are particularly close with, everyone else is just maintaining a delicate balance."
Each Major Power has its own foundation; unless it is a matter of life and death, they won't easily reveal their strengths. Therefore, determining their rankings through the Ranking Match held once every ten years becomes very important.
"Our Crimson Fire Family has a remarkable newcomer who will make an appearance and surprise everyone."
Chihuo Yang was very optimistic about their newcomer, but Lat's Hand countered, "Do you really have hope of achieving a good ranking in the Ranking Match? As far as I know, the Dragon Python Celestial Domain has produced one Mo Fei and one Xuanyuan Wujie, both of whom are exceptional talents. Besides Lei Zhenxiao and Feng Zhi Yi, their reputations are not lacking; compared to Lei Zhenxiao, they are not weak at all."
Chihuo Yang replied earnestly, "These two young talents are indeed impressive, but our Crimson Fire Family's newcomer is even more astonishing and commands our respect. In two months, the ranking competition will take place. At that time, we can accompany each other to observe the matches. The winner can even challenge the Holy Sons and Holy Maidens of the two major Sects. In the past, there have been challenges against the Holy Sons and Holy Maidens of both major Sects."
After hearing Chihuo Yang's words, Gao Yuxin had some thoughts in her mind but couldn't express them without encountering Guan Yue.
Gao Yuxin then carefully inquired about the health condition of the national uncle of Waydao Empire. After much consideration, she agreed to go take a look.
When they arrived at Waydao Empire, rumors about three divine doctors from Dragon Python Celestial Domain being imprisoned by Crimson Fire Family had already spread throughout Waydao Empire.
