Chapter 84: Jing Muyu, It Was Not Meant to Be!
Time flies.
Since the incident at the Yin-Yang Sea, Jiang Chen has not stepped out of the Banished Immortal Peak again. He has been cultivating at the Banished Immortal Peak, and it has been two months now.
During this period, Jiang Chen’s cultivation has entered the seventh layer of the Great Master Realm.
Even without actively cultivating, his cultivation level has significantly improved thanks to the rewards for his laid-back approach.
Now, in the grand hall, the Primordial Holy Land once again convened a meeting.
“A tomb of a quasi-emperor has appeared in the direction of the Eastern Wilderness!” announced the Third Elder, who, as always, chaired the meeting and disseminated the main information.
“This tomb is extraordinary. Various forces are gathering, attracting countless cultivators. Those below the True King Realm need not go. Otherwise, you might lose your life without gaining anything.”
In fact, it was unnecessary to make such an announcement since everyone in the hall was already aware of it.
“Holy Son, will you go?” the Third Elder turned to Jiang Chen. Given Jiang Chen’s current status, his participation could significantly increase the Primordial Holy Land’s chances of success.
“No, no!” Jiang Chen declined without hesitation. “If I go, wouldn’t that make the Primordial Holy Land a target for everyone? Plus, it wouldn’t be right for me to compete with the disciples for those opportunities.”
Jiang Chen’s refusal was immediate. Others might not know, but he was well aware that this so-called tomb of a quasi-emperor was actually a Saint King’s tomb.
The treasures inside were not as magnificent as imagined. Furthermore, the tomb attracted a multitude of powerful beings, leading to a chaotic battle involving beings of the Saint level, resulting in countless deaths.
If he were to go, he might become a target for various forces, especially the ancient imperial families.
Moreover, if the rewards were rich enough, he might have considered going, but the items inside were barely acceptable in his eyes, so he preferred not to bother.
“Alright then,” the Third Elder didn’t insist. Holy Son’s has considerable autonomy, and if they’re unwilling, nobody could compel them, except perhaps the Holy Master herself. However, the she had yet to return, leaving no one to command Jiang Chen.
“By the way, Elders, where is Junior Sister Ye?” Jiang Chen looked around and noticed the absence of Ye Qingcheng, which he found peculiar.
In the storyline, Ye Qingcheng was part of this tomb exploration and gained quite a bit. Normally, she should be in the Holy Land.
“It’s rumored that Ye Qingcheng went to find someone months ago and hasn’t returned yet. It’s been several months!” one of the Elders replied.
“Who is she looking for?” Jiang Chen wondered.
“It’s not clear; she never mentioned anyone. Probably out on a training journey, she’ll return after some time,” another Elder speculated.
‘Must be trying to find that old man Gu Cang!’ Jiang Chen thought to himself. Finding Gu Cang would indeed be challenging.
Shaking his head, Jiang Chen considered Gu Cang’s elusive nature. If he were easy to find, he would have been slain long ago and not still be at large.
“Well, her protector is powerful enough; she’s unlikely to die,” Jiang Chen mused, finding it curious but not overly concerning that Ye Qingcheng was absent.
But he didn’t pay much attention to it! Because Ye Qingcheng’s protector was not weak, even though he was not at the level of Mu Jianxue, he is also a Saint King close to the Great Saints.
As long as it’s not someone above the Great Saint level making a move, Ye Qingcheng can walk sideways. And since the old demon Gu Cang’s strength is not strong, Ye Qingcheng does not need to be afraid; the protector is enough to solve it.
Jiang Chen returned to the Banished Immortal Peak and saw Yan Ruyu taking care of some flowers and plants, looking serious and carefully tending to the flowers and plants inside. This is one of the few hobbies left for Yan Ruyu.
“Ruyu! The Primordial Holy Land is about to go over to the quasi-emperor’s tomb. Do you want to go?” Jiang Chen asked Yan Ruyu.
“No!” Yan Ruyu turned her head and answered seriously. She has heard Jiang Chen’s inner voice and knows that this so-called quasi-emperor’s tomb doesn’t have many good things, and the harvest won’t be much if she goes.
Instead of that, it’s better to cultivate on the Banished Immortal Peak. “Not going?” Jiang Chen pretended to think and also seemed a bit troubled. “Does the Holy Son want to go?” Yan Ruyu noticed.
“Not really!” Jiang Chen answered on the surface, but inwardly said: ‘The quasi-emperor’s tomb doesn’t have anything to attract me, but there’s a little girl in a city that appeared with the tomb.’
‘I remember she should be begging in Primordial Origin City now. She has the Eternal Sword Body constitution. If brought over, she could be cultivated into a supreme powerhouse in the future!’
‘And she’s also one of the heroines, later becoming one of Du Guyun’s right-hand women. I wonder if I should bring her over?’
Upon hearing this, Yan Ruyu’s eyes moved and said: “Son, I suddenly want to go! Staying in the Banished Immortal Peak is not good either, the body has become stiff, it might be good to go out and walk around.”
Hearing it’s related to Du Guyun and also one of the heroines, and with outstanding talent with unlimited future achievements, Yan Ruyu immediately became interested.
She just wants to cut off any of Du Guyun’s advancements. And since this little girl will also be a strong person in the future, naturally it cannot be missed.
If she could be brought over, she would have a companion on the Banished Immortal Peak, and at the same time, it could reduce Du Guyun’s strength, why not?
“Then okay! You will go with the elders later! But be careful, although your strength is now very good, having stepped into the Realm of Life and Death, do not underestimate the people of the world.”
“And this time, the emergence of the quasi-emperor’s tomb is grand, it will surely attract forces from all sides, and some top prodigies will definitely be among them!” Jiang Chen warned.
“Okay, I’ll be careful!” Yan Ruyu nodded her head.
