Chương 213: War God’s — Chapter 214 - It Was All for Their Own Good

Wang Xian mulled it over. Ye Miyue's pleading made it hard for the old sister to refuse. And she couldn't find a reason to reject her own disciple without hurting their feelings. She probably didn't expect him to suddenly run off somewhere else. Played right into your hands, didn't it. And you didn't even have to personally turn down your little disciple... You, old sister. I didn't realize you actually had such deep feelings for Xiao Yue.

"Fine." Wang Xian grunted and rose to find Ye Miyue.

"Oh, one more thing." Grandmaster Luo watched his departing back.

"I need to tell you something in advance."

"What?" Grandmaster Luo's expression turned serious, dead earnest:"I know you youngsters run hot-blooded."

"Together, it's easy to let things slip."

"But I have to warn you. Xiao Yue is a girl. She might find it hard to refuse you. But you need to be careful. Don't do anything reckless."

"Besides, her talent is damaged. Her body shouldn't endure intense... intense impacts."

"..." Wang Xian. He could tell. The old sister truly cared about Xiao Yue. Wang Xian didn't find it inappropriate. Instead, he felt gratified on Ye Miyue's behalf. All these years, at least besides himself, there was finally someone who genuinely cared about her.

"That goes without saying." Wang Xian answered just as earnestly. Grandmaster Luo thought for a moment, then added: "Even if... even if Xiao Yue takes the initiative, I hope you'll still consider her well-being." Wang Xian nodded and walked out. This old sister really does understand Ye Miyue. And it seems she has a fairly deep understanding of the feelings between them. He wondered just how much Ye Miyue had told her.

Watching Wang Xian leave, Luo Cihan held her tense expression until his figure completely vanished from the spirit dwelling. Then it instantly relaxed. Her originally calm cheeks flushed slightly. Clearly, discussing these matters with a disciple still made her feel bashful... In front of a disciple, a master's dignity must be maintained. No loss of composure allowed. Had to appear as if she understood everything. Luo Cihan hesitated, then took out her phone.

She didn't really like using this thing, but nowadays she couldn't do without it. Sometimes it was just too useful. She opened the browser and immediately deleted a line of browsing history: 'How should elders advise teenagers not to privately engage in X relations with girls?' After deleting it, she finally let out a long breath.

"It was all for their own good." — Wang Xian didn't disturb Ye Miyue. He simply told her he was going relic adventuring. Villa No. 5, living room.

"Don't worry. My team is all senior students in their fourth year."

"Every one of them is an expert close to the fifth realm."

"With them there, I'm just filling the role of smelter. Combat won't fall to me at all."

"Once I find the materials, I can return safely." This content has been misappropriated from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.

"I can wait for you... wait until you get back, then we can go cultivate together." Ye Miyue still seemed to want to persuade him. Probably full of longing for cultivating together...

"No." Wang Xian revealed a smile that made Ye Miyue's cheeks flush.

"Cultivation is better alone. Two people..."

"I'm afraid we'd be cultivating and cultivating, and then you'd want me to teach you swordsmanship." These words made Ye Miyue's face flush crimson. She pounded Wang Xian with her fists:"As if I'd want you to teach me!" After pounding him, she put on a dead-serious face:"Master said that during this period, I need to keep my distance from you! Can't let you take the slightest advantage!"

"Hmph, I'll go cultivate with Master by myself. I'm done with you!" Seems the old sister has indeed done her homework with Ye Miyue. Tsk. Only...

"When do you leave?"

"The day after tomorrow."

"Then will you be at my place tomorrow?" Ye Miyue asked quietly.

"No. Tomorrow I need to prepare thoroughly." Wang Xian said.

"The day after, the senior will come pick me up early in the morning."

"Oh..." Ye Miyue's tone was crestfallen.

"But I can rest here tonight."

"Then I'll go prepare your pajamas..." She immediately stood up and bounced off into the bedroom. Wang Xian smiled. Old sister, this homework of yours was done as good as not done at all. Because, old sister, you never considered one problem. Sometimes, it's not me taking advantage of her. It's your little disciple taking advantage of me. The next day, Wang Xian began preparing materials for the relic.

"Zhelou Cloud City..."

"An alien civilization's creation left behind on Blue Star."

"The birthplace of the Phantom Shadow Sword Art..."

"In later eras, researchers deciphered that this Zhelou Cloud City belonged to a superpower called the 'Tianzhe Sword Palace' from an alien civilization originating from the Great Xuan Realm. It fought a great battle against an alien demon lord from the otherworldly battlefield."

"In the end, the superpower fell. Some architectural wreckage crashed toward Blue Star through the otherworldly battlefield in earlier years, falling into the ocean." This information was deciphered by researchers through this relic many years later in his previous life. Through fragments of words. It was said that this Zhelou Cloud City was actually this superpower's attempt to cultivate something called a 'Tianxuan Sword Seed' to deal with that great demon lord. But they were discovered by the enemy in advance.

When this news came out in later eras, this Zhelou Cloud City, which had long been dormant, suddenly ignited a wave of fervor again. Because according to these deciphered messages, rumors said that as long as one could find the 'Tianxuan Sword Seed' within Zhelou Cloud City, they could unlock the most critical 'Xuantian Sword Palace' secret cache within the city. And obtaining this secret cache was equivalent to receiving some of the legacy of the 'Tianzhe Sword Palace', that superpower of an alien civilization.

With such a legacy, becoming a Martial God would be effortless. Unfortunately, in later eras, those martial warriors turned Zhelou Cloud City upside down. Eventually even Martial Gods personally descended. In the end, they found absolutely nothing. Finally, because of the multi-sided conflict and Martial Gods entering the scene, it somehow activated hidden mechanisms within Zhelou Cloud City. The relic exploded in the East Sea.

"The explosion later awakened 2 X-class alien beasts that had slumbered on the seabed of the East Sea for countless years."

"It was also one of the triggers for the later eastern frontier disaster known as the 'Sky-Devouring Tsunami'..." Wang Xian's memory of this was fairly vivid. Otherwise, he wouldn't have thought of learning the Phantom Shadow Sword Art after acquiring the spatial power of the Step Star Bone. Because the Phantom Shadow Sword Art had countless connections with this Zhelou Cloud City.

"For this trip, I need to prepare thoroughly."

"Even if I have about 50 to 60 percent understanding of this relic... it's probably not even that much..."

"After all, even in my previous life, Blue Star never fully figured out this relic... maybe only scratched the tip of the iceberg?" His goal on this trip was not to thoroughly figure out the relic. Finding Xiao Xi and the materials were his objectives. With his current strength, trying to thoroughly figure out this relic was still too early. This kind of relic, rated B on the surface but actually not even stoppable at A-rank, was the most troublesome kind.

And there were many mechanism spaces inside that you didn't even know about.

"I need to prepare a couple more Immortal-Slaying Flying Blades..."

"Hmm... also on the materials front..."

"Dual Polarity Lotus Root, Infernal Prison Dragon Crystal, Netherworld Cold Marrow... among the materials I've obtained, quite a few should be usable in this relic..."

"Still not quite enough. Let me think more..."

"Void Star Sand. Zhelou Cloud City has a Cloud Sea Secret Realm where space is unstable and extremely chaotic. This C-rank material can stabilize the surrounding space and maintain combat effectiveness..."

"Clear Spirit Jade Incense. Jade incense produces smoke. Similar to Snow Lotus Shell, it can be used at the Sword Enlightenment Cliff in the relic to temporarily resist powerful mental attacks..."

"In addition, this parasitic bug on me seems like it could be used too..."

"I still need to prepare more..." After much deliberation, Wang Xian spent an entire day collecting smelting materials and purchasing various medicinal agents and supplements. Basically all tailored to this relic. On the morning of the third day, Yan Zhaoxue picked up Wang Xian right on time, and they met up with the other three. On the flight vehicle heading out to sea.

"Once we leave the city and cross this stretch of sea, we'll immediately arrive at that Phantom City." Bai Xingyun felt he needed to share some basic information about this new-type relic with the junior disciple.

"Let me first briefly tell you about this relic..." Wang Xian thought for a moment, then spoke:"Mm. I also have some information about this relic that I planned to share with you all in advance."

"You have some too?" The three were taken aback.

"I did a bit of collecting recently." Wang Xian smiled faintly.

"I've also gathered quite a bit of information about this relic."

"How about I go first?"

"Go ahead then..." Bai Xingyun was somewhat intrigued.

"Alright..." Wang Xian glanced at the three of them and slowly began: "Then I'll start by talking about what regions and key locations this 'Phantom City' has. As well as the general distribution of alien beasts and their strength ranges. Also the locations of special materials, and some spatial positions where hidden secret realms might appear. Finally, some extremely dangerous situations and so on..." As soon as the words left his mouth, the three instantly froze. Bai Xingyun even scratched his head.

For some reason, he felt that these words, this tone, seemed somewhat familiar... ➤ Next: Sword Mausoleum, Malevolent Spirit, Soul Devouring Art
