Looking at the obviously fearful Heartless Real Person, Ye Kai chuckled lightly and said, "You have betrayed the Sect."
Heartless Real Person's heart sank. Seeing Ye Kai's smile made him feel even more terrified. "The Seal of Acceptance can lead to a hidden Celestial Mountain Estate in the void. The Nine Essence Dew is a supreme elixir that can significantly increase the chances of forming a nascent soul."
"What does the Seal look like?" Ye Kai's eyes flickered with interest.
"The Seal of Acceptance is a stamp that usually lies hidden within the Void Turbulence. Only by holding the stamp at a specific time can one open the passage to the Celestial Mountain Estate, which appears only once every hundred years."
As he spoke, Heartless Real Person seemed to recall something and hesitated slightly.
Ye Kai's lips curled into a smirk, his eyes shifting as he said, "Is that so? I have heard some things as well. Don't you have anything else in mind? For example, its exact location?"
Heartless Real Person lowered his head in silence, his glasses spinning nervously. Little did he realize that all his expressions were being observed without a hint of concealment.
"Still holding onto a glimmer of hope, are you? Do you really think my hands have never been stained with blood?"
Ye Kai guessed his thoughts and waved his sleeve dismissively. "Let me tell you, I have more than just one stamp in my possession."
Heartless Real Person's pupils constricted suddenly as he exclaimed, "You also have a Treasure Map?"
Ye Kai's pupils also narrowed slightly.
A Treasure Map? What was that?
Countless thoughts raced through his mind, but on the surface, he remained completely unfazed and did not answer Heartless Real Person's question, merely gazing at him with an indifferent expression.
Seeing Ye Kai’s dismissive demeanor, Heartless Real Person took it as tacit approval. His mouth turned bitter as unease settled in his heart.
Although he was not arrogant or impulsive by nature, having reached the Golden Core Stage made him a pillar of strength among his peers. He had never lacked sycophants around him; if he fell into Ye Kai's hands without harboring any resentment or anger, that would be unrealistic.
He had initially thought that possessing this secret would enhance his value for bargaining. However, he never expected matters to escalate to this extent.
In fact, the leader of this expedition had just been shattered even beyond the Nascent Soul stage—the Leisurely Ancestor—who had completely perished in both body and spirit. While many details were not shared with them, as a direct descendant of the Leisurely Ancestor, he had heard some truths.
For instance, their own Leisurely Ancestor, Shu Laozu, had not been on good terms with several other factions in recent years and had frequently targeted many human forces. Although these actions were executed cleanly, they still leaked hints of unrest.
About half a month ago, news suddenly spread throughout the Boundless Sea that the Celestial Mountain Estate was about to emerge. The Treasure Map and Seal, keys that could locate and open the passage, also surfaced one after another.
Thus, they had received clues and were preparing to "clear the scene." However, they did not expect that instead of clearing it, they ended up trapping their own Ancestor and fellow disciples.
The Heartless Real Person's limited mind could not fully analyze just how much information Ye Kai had obtained, but it was certain that the other party held very important news.
Most importantly, what kind of arrangements would Ye Kai make for himself?
"In fact, the news about Nine Essence Dew was leaked by Lingbao Pavilion. Many forces are already aware of it. Moreover, with the Leisurely Ancestor completely destroyed, the soul lamp in the sect will surely extinguish. The other Ancestors from Bone Gate have likely received this news by now and will come as soon as possible."
Was this an attempt to sow discord?
Ye Kai raised an eyebrow in surprise. Seeing the respectful demeanor of the Heartless Real Person, he quickly understood that while the emphasis was on the latter part of the statement, it was actually Lingbao Pavilion that he primarily wanted to point out.
"Are you suggesting that I turn against Lingbao Pavilion? That's quite interesting."
"I... I actually know the general direction of where Celestial Mountain Estate will appear. If I tell you the exact location, will you let me go?" the Heartless Real Person asked tentatively.
Ye Kai smiled slightly. "Your only choice is to tell me everything you know. As for how to deal with you, I have my own arrangements; in any case, I won't take your life."
He had no intention of killing the Heartless Real Person. After all, this big rat was a pillar of a major force, with a cultivation level equivalent to a Golden Core Cultivator among humans.
Even if he killed him, he would only gain a bit of flesh and blood and a demon core. If pushed too hard, it was possible that this fellow might self-destruct with his demon core.
Moreover, beyond this hurdle stood a powerful expert at the Separation Stage backing their clan.
Ye Kai had no deep-seated enmity with the big rat clan. Although the Heartless Real Person had brought this upon himself, keeping him around could still be quite useful—especially for gathering information about everything related to this vast sea.
"Of course, there might also be unexpected gains!" Ye Kai smiled faintly, his eyes flashing with a fleeting light as he thought to himself: "Everything must wait until we find this interesting place."
The Heartless Real Person sighed helplessly, forcing a bitter smile as he relayed everything he knew about the emergence of Celestial Mountain Estate.
"Traveling west from here for seventy thousand miles, there is a massive island. The island is desolate and has almost no powerful creatures."
"However, on this island stands a peak called Lingyun Peak, which rises steeply into the clouds." The Heartless Real Person said listlessly. "As far as I know, Celestial Mountain Estate hovers above the Sea of Clouds in mid-air, directly above Lingyun Peak."
He glanced at Ye Kai and slowly said, "This is a secret passed down by an elder of my clan three thousand years ago. No one else knows about it."
"However, that Celestial Mountain Estate is surrounded by an incredibly vast array. My elder tried for thirty years with his early-stage cultivation and still couldn't gain entry. If you can't get in either, don't blame me."
"Hmm?" Ye Kai snorted lightly through his nose, casting a sidelong glance at him.
The Heartless Real Person shrank his neck and weakly replied, "It's true. If I could enter, I would have been enjoying myself inside long ago."
"We'll see when we get there," Ye Kai said, clasping his hands behind his back. He then turned to look at the Heartless Real Person and suddenly smiled, "There's one more thing. Hand over the Technique you've been practicing."
The Heartless Real Person's expression changed drastically as he growled, "You wish!" This was his most precious possession, the foundation of his existence and the capital for his dominance. Moreover, if he handed it over, the Restriction in his mind would directly shatter his soul.
In truth, when Ye Kai made that statement, he didn't hold out much hope. It wasn't that he had given up; he was merely testing this big rat to see if he had any other treasures in hand.
Of course, the most important thing was still the cultivation Technique.
Ye Kai smiled slightly. "Perhaps I've been too kind to you, leading you to truly believe that I'm soft-hearted!"
