Chapter 336 Purple Cloud Sect
Chapter 336 Purple Cloud Sect
Yue Hanjiang was momentarily stunned, but then giggled.
"Master, he actually brought us to the sea heart you were looking for!"
"He's really saved us a lot of time."
Unfortunately, Hu Guhai had been cultivating in seclusion for so many years that he had completely neglected what was going on in the outside world.
Thus, he had not recognized Yuchi's name, which was very high up on the list of dangerous people in the Tiandu division.
When Yuchi heard Hanjiang's words, he also smiled faintly.
"We'll talk about this later. Let's get down to business first."
Yue Hanjiang nodded obediently.
He looked around.
The situation around them was a little special. The two of them were now standing at the foot of a mountain, which was rather tall, perhaps around ten thousand meters in height.
He could see a flight of white jade stairs that extended upwards. On both sides of the mountain stairs, there were many lamp posts. The oil in the lamp beads had disappeared, and the lamps were completely extinguished. However, one could still tell that many people used to live on this mountain.
Just in front of the mountain, there was a stone pillar, on which several words were carved.
Purple Cloud sect…
Under these three words, there was a simple line of words that looked like a couplet.
"Purple qi from the East soars into the clouds."
"There are Immortals above the clouds."
Looking at it, the entire scene gave off the vibe of visiting a magnificent sect, though it seemed that the sect no longer existed. Was the sea heart up there?
This was the first time Yuchi had seen such a situation.
He had never thought that such a thing existed inside the sea heart.
Then, while he was looking around, he spotted another stone pillar, on which there were many lines of text, most of which had faded with time.
However, the most recent entry was still visible.
Blood Wolf Adrian.
Hmm…
In that case, the reason for Adrian's weakened state was because he failed to obtain the sea heart.
Then, Cofuran appeared in front of him.
"This is the sea heart. I know you have a lot of questions. Although I could leave you to slowly explore it yourself, I'll save you the time by telling you directly."
She then began her explanation.
First of all, sea hearts existed in the primordial seas, but were not born within all of them. They simply manifested due to happenstance.
For example, this Purple Cloud sect, which was established on the site of this primordial sea. After it became desolate, it sank to the bottom of the sea and became a focal point for the surrounding Dao aura, which then condensed into a sea heart.
Different sea hearts were located in different primordial seas. Some were manifested due to the actions of living beings, while others were the result of natural events.
Secondly, there were many guardians in the sea heart. Although these guardians were not conscious or sentient, they moved automatically to protect it. In this case, the guardians were the ancient ghosts of the Purple Cloud sect, which the sea heart had brought back into this world.
Finally, if Yuchi wanted to obtain the sea heart, the only way was to defeat all of the guardians. Only after he had defeated all of the guardians would he be qualified to face the true sea heart. Once the sea heart had been completely condensed into his sea of consciousness, everything would be considered complete.
"There you go. Now you know. If you want to obtain this sea heart, you'll have to climb this set of stairs."
"It should be no surprise to you that many guardians will be lying in wait for you."
"Defeat them until you reach the highest highest point of this mountain. The sea heart should be in that dilapidated building up there."
After she finished, she looked at Yue Hanjiang and said, "Hanjiang, you don't have to go up with Yuchi."
"We're currently in its territory, so moving around at your cultivation level is unsafe."
"During this time, you should cultivate properly. After all, you can glean different insights cultivating here."
Yue Hanjiang nodded earnestly.
She looked at Yuchi with great concern and said, "Master, you must be careful. This place looks very dangerous."
As she spoke, she raised her head to look at the stairs that seemingly soared into the sky. She could feel the great danger hidden there.
"Cofuran," Yuchi said, "You can stay here with Hanjiang."
"Okay," she replied, "But can you do it alone?"
"Of course!"
