“Big Senior Apprentice Brother, is the situation not very good?” Nan Tiandu asked after he sat down cross-legged in front of Ye Chuan.
“Mmm, it's very bad, it's more serious than expected.”
Ye Chuan paused for a while and added, “Originally, I thought that Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia just angered White Haired Heavenly Empress Zhao Tianbi, therefore, she was punished to imprisonment. Now, Heavenly Yao Sect suddenly has a Big Disciple, and hereafter, there will not be any Heavenly Maiden. This situation is serious. Since the day Heavenly Yao Sect was founded, Heavenly Yao Sect only had Heavenly Maiden among the younger disciples, there was no Big Disciple, unlike other sects.”
“Reformation!”
Old Demon of Mount Yin quickly responded and also understood the seriousness of the matter. “In other words, Elder Tianqing who had control over the entire sect actually reformed the ancestral system of Heavenly Yao Sect!”
“Correct!”
Ye Chuan looked at everyone and said after a pause, “Of course, this might be the order of Elder Tianqing under his selfish desire or the secret order of White Haired Heavenly Empress herself. It is currently unknown. But, regardless of what's going on, Zixia is in real danger. Since even the ancestral system pa.s.sed down for millions of years could be discarded, will they let Zixia, the last Heavenly Maiden, keep on living?”
Ye Chuan frowned and he felt great pressure and urgency. The situation was anything but rea.s.suring, he must act promptly and quickly save Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia, otherwise, he might to too late to repent!
“Big Senior Apprentice Brother, how about we forcibly break into Heavenly Yao Cave and save her tonight!” Nan Tiandu proposed.
In front of outsiders, he pretended to be a wildly arrogant rough fellow, but inside the closed door, he was a calm person. He knew the trouble of Ye Chuan and took the initiative to propose a risky action.
“No, we will move according to the plan, Tiandu, you should continue partic.i.p.ating in the compet.i.tion, if there is nothing unusual, then your final opponent will very probably be that Son of Heaven Jin Hong.” Ye Chuan shook his head, remaining calm. He was even more impatient than Nan Tiandu in his heart. Every extra day Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia was imprisoned, the more dangerous it was. If he could, then he would have made a move now, he wouldn't have waited until the night, but, that was not realistic.
Ye Chuan maintained his calm even after hearing the sudden and unexpected news. In any case, he had to think of a way to seized Heaven Concealing Umbrella sealed in Heavenly Yao Cave first, otherwise, even if he entered Heavenly Yao Cave, how can he save a person?
An obvious difficulty was placed in front of Ye Chuan.
If he wanted to break into Heavenly Yao Hall to seize Heaven Concealing Umbrella, then he needed to look for an opportune moment first, next, he must think of a way to crack that ancient sword formation of Heavenly Yao Hall!
“Okay, Big Senior Apprentice Brother, I understand what to do.”
Nan Tiandu stood up, turned around and left, returning to his room to cultivate.
Now, he had to conserve strength and store up energy to prepare for the Grand Sacrifice Compet.i.tion's final match. The key point was not to achieve a victory, rather how to make the biggest commotion so as to lure out Heavenly Yao Sect's peak experts that guarded various peaks and White Haired Heavenly Empress, giving Ye Chuan a chance to make a move.
“Your Excellency, then what about us? What should we do?” Old Demon of Mount Yin asked.
Originally, he still had some regrets for not being able to fight with Heavenly Yao Sect's disciples, thus, he was unable to rob their qi, blood and essence. But now, after understanding the seriousness of the situation, he had already discarded that mental state and was worried.
“Like Nan Tiandu, act according to the plan, go.”
Ye Chuan instructed and slowly closed his eyes, beginning to cultivate to recover his strength.
Old Demon of Mount Yin and others stood up, bowed and left. Once the door was shut, the room became quiet. After all of them left, Ye Chuan used a profound technique and his body suddenly shook.
Within his body, Yinyang Life Wheel in his dantian rotated again. It rotated while absorbing the vitality of Ye Chuan. The vitality Ye Chuan had gathered with great difficulty quickly vanished, then, began to overdraft the vitality of all his limbs and bones. His originally smooth skin began to become coa.r.s.e and his physical body became a step weaker. He looked even more exhausted and aged.
Ye Chuan didn't waste time and went a step further to refine Yinyang Life Wheel. At the expense of physical weakness, he got even stronger spirit in return. If he could take back Heaven Concealing Umbrella sealed in Heavenly Yao Hall, then even if his physical body was weak, he didn't need to fear anything. He would be able to stop even the attacks of a Half Sage realm expert. In this world, there was no one else who was more familiar with Heaven Concealing Umbrella's magical effects than himself. At that time, breaking into Heavenly Yao Cave and saving a person would be easier. He could make up his physical weakness with Heaven Concealing Umbrella and his powerful spirit can initiate ferocious attacks.
A day quickly pa.s.sed.
Late at night, when the earth was shrouded by the darkness and tired people had gone to sleep in succession, a figure suddenly jumped out of a window. Bypa.s.sing the patrolling guards and hidden lookouts, he went straight towards a distant peak.
Under the cover of the night, Ye Chuan moved quickly. Tonight, his target was not Heavenly Yao Peak, also was not Small Yao Lake, rather a peculiar peak in the outskirts of Heavenly Yao Sect, Dove Peak.
Heavenly Yao Sect had numerous peaks. Some were majestic and grand, some were tall and steep, but no matter what kind of peaks they were, all were shrouded with dense worldly spiritual qi and all had mountain dwellings built on them. Only a place was an exception, that was the Dove Peak. This mountain had trees, lakes, and spring-fed streams, merely, there were no mountain dwellings. There was no trace of human. It was a place where disciples were strictly forbidden to set foot on. Every time when the sun rose, everyone could see a large number of doves flying out from this mountain peak and leisurely soared inside Heavenly Yao Sect. This place was heaven for doves, was a forbidden place for sect's disciples. According to the legend, founder Blue Eyed Yao Empress liked doves the most in her life, therefore, this piece of land was specially designated as the habitat for doves in Heavenly Yao Sect. the disciples were strictly forbidden to set foot on this land. This order had been considered ancestral teaching and was pa.s.sed down from generation to generation.
Heavenly Yao Sect was strictly guarded now, especially the numerous important places, there were patrolling troops, hidden lookouts, restrictions and even powerful super experts personally a.s.suming personal command. But, although Dove Peak was a forbidden land, there were no guards, basically, there was no one to block Ye Chuan's path. Perhaps, for Heavenly Yao Sect, it was just a wasteland, it basically was not necessary to send someone to guard this place. For Ye Chuan, this place, however, was extremely important. His purpose was very simple. It was not like he had left behind some treasure here in his previous life, Blue Eyed Yao Empress's token was also not hidden here, rather the doves of Dove Peak.
In order to seize Heaven Concealing Umbrella sealed in Heavenly Yao Cave, he must break through ancient sword formation first. If he was his former self, then Ye Chuan would have easily broken it, but now, his cultivation was not enough, so he could only take it down by strategy. After calmly thinking for a while in the room, he thought of doves of Dove Peak.
