Chapter 442: My Name is Tianzi, Time to Trick Mei Wu
Chapter 442: My Name is Tianzi, Time to Trick Mei Wu
The youth in purple paused as he spoke, scratching his head in a perplexed manner. Finally, he said with some agitation, "In any case, all you need to know is that I understand the heavens and the earth very well. After all, I am..." He trailed off, seeming reluctant to reveal his identity.
Li Xuan's smile widened. "I know what you are, and since I've said it, you only understand the surface of this world and are unaware of what it lacks. There's a reason for that."
The youth looked surprised. "You know about me?"
"Of course!" Li Xuan nodded.
"Then tell me, what am I?" The youth was intrigued.
Li Xuan raised his hand, pointing upwards to the sky and then downwards to the ground, before finally pointing at the youth himself. He smiled but remained silent.
The youth was bewildered. "What do you mean by that?"
Li Xuan sighed. "You're a foolish child, unable to comprehend even this."
The youth pulled at his hair in frustration. "How am I supposed to know what you mean by all that gesturing? Why can't you just say it directly?"
Li Xuan chuckled. "I have spoken plainly, but you are too foolish to understand. Think about it carefully yourself."
The youth regarded him with suspicion, his expression thoughtful. "Why do all these powerful beings have this annoying habit of speaking in riddles and never directly?"
This reminded him of Taicang.
Li Xuan sipped his tea, maintaining an air of mystery and a look that suggested he had already seen through everything.
In truth, while Li Xuan knew that the youth was not a creature of this world and didn't even belong among the living, he couldn't discern his exact identity.
Even with his Heavenly Eyes, cultivated at the Heavenly Realm, there were still limits to his understanding, and he couldn't see past the powerful force that was concealing the youth's true nature.
However, Li Xuan was certain that there was a connection between the youth and the owner of the Taicang book.
In the small stone house, Li Xuan and the purple-robed youth chatted idly, their conversation ranging from the heavens and earth to ancient times, and even beyond the boundaries of their world.
The youth seemed to know many secrets, but whenever they reached a crucial point, he would abruptly stop talking.
Li Xuan didn't seem to mind, appearing as though he had already seen through everything and that it didn't matter whether the youth spoke or not.
"I should be leaving now. Next time, I don't know when I'll come to visit you, little one," Li Xuan said as he stood up.
The youth's face was filled with conflict, as if he wanted to say something but dared not.
"There's no need to see me out, little one," Li Xuan waved his hand and turned to leave.
"Um... Senior, when will you visit again?" The youth asked reluctantly.
"Whether I come or not is irrelevant. I only came to chat with you because you're confined here, but since we seem to be out of topics, I'll take my leave," Li Xuan said with a smile. "After all, we're not that close, are we?"
The youth pulled at his hair. "Next time, let's talk about something deeper. By the way, my name is Tianzi."
Li Xuan's face lit up with a smile. "Tianzi? Alright, I'll remember that."
With a single step, he vanished from the spot.
Although he didn't learn any heavenly secrets from Tianzi, he did gain some useful information, such as his name and the fact that there were multiple heavens and earths, with theirs being the strongest.
Of course, this information would need further verification. After all, Tianzi, being from the Taicang heaven and earth, would naturally favor his own world.
"Is Mingyu another heaven and earth?" Li Xuan wondered to himself.
He thought about the extraterrestrial enemy in the Sky Cave, who was likely a creature from another heaven and earth, intending to invade the Taicang world.
If that was the case, was the Taicang heaven and earth truly the strongest?
Perhaps not. Maybe it used to be the strongest, but some event caused its decline.
The specifics of these heavenly secrets would need further exploration to be confirmed.
"Mei Wu, a powerful being from another heaven and earth?" Li Xuan mused.
He thought of Xu Yan, who had already reached the perfect Divine Spirit Realm and was preparing to break through to the next realm. By now, he was probably on his way to the trap set by Mei Wu.
"I hope the treasure that Mei Wu has prepared will be of some use," Li Xuan thought expectantly.
Upon returning to Qinghua Realm, Li Xuan couldn't help but feel amazed at the progress of Fang Hao and Su Lingxiu, who were in the midst of a rapid accumulation of power, soon to experience a significant boost in strength.
"Your disciple Meng Chong has comprehended the third level of the Great Sun Star Immortal Body. You have broken through to the third level of the Great Sun Star Immortal Body."
The Golden Book of the Dao opened, emitting a brilliant golden light.
Li Xuan was delighted. It hadn't been easy, but Meng Chong had finally grasped the intricacies of the third level of the Great Sun Star Immortal Body.
"His martial arts have also broken through to the Heavenly Realm, and his strength has increased significantly."
Li Xuan was in high spirits.
"That girl Su Lingxiu should also spend some time studying the Heavenly Realm techniques. The sooner she understands them, the sooner I can break through my martial arts and alchemy," Li Xuan mused to himself. He decided that he needed to spare some time to guide Su Lingxiu; she couldn't spend all her time on the Heavenly God Furnace and neglect her martial arts training.
...
The Guangyou Realm was a vast and open land with few mountains in sight. Looking into the distance, one felt a sense of profundity, which was how the place got its name.
"Mei Wu, I bet you're getting impatient. Well, here I come to outwit you!"
Xu Yan had finally entered the Guangyou Realm.
His journey had been delayed by his quest for revenge against Tian Mo and Di Ying, but now he was nearing the breakthrough to the Broken Void Realm, and it was time to pay Mei Wu a visit for the treasures she had promised.
No doubt, Mei Wu must be getting antsy by now.
Fortunately, he had taken the time to visit the Wu Mo Celestial Caves in each realm along the way, leaving messages for Mei Wu and keeping her patience intact by claiming that he was still searching for the treasure's location.
"The Wu Mo Celestial Caves are all interconnected, and Mei Wu must be a powerful figure among the Wu Mo," Xu Yan reasoned.
By now, he had gathered enough information to start connecting the dots.
"The Guangyou Realm has a smaller population, and thus there are fewer Celestial Caves. As a result, the martial artists here are relatively laid-back."
Xu Yan traveled through the Guangyou Realm, heading towards the hidden Celestial Cave.
"There are some unknown lands in the Guangyou Realm that are rarely ventured into by martial artists. No incidents of invasions by Celestial Cave enemies have ever occurred here. This hidden Celestial Cave seems to have some restrictions that prevent intruders from entering the Guangyou Realm," Xu Yan observed as he studied the treasure map.
"Aside from the fallen Wu Mo, will there be other powerful beings aiding Mei Wu in this Celestial Cave?"
The Celestial Caves had limitations on the strength of those who could enter, so Mei Wu's options for allies were limited as well.
However, if this particular Celestial Cave had a higher threshold, then in addition to the fallen Wu Mo, there must be other powerful beings lying in wait.
"But it's no big deal. My current strength is far beyond what it used to be," Xu Yan assured himself.
Moreover, he had the small wooden sword that his master had given him, which would be more than enough to deal with any unexpected ambushes.
"This is the place."
Finally, Xu Yan arrived at the location marked on the treasure map.
When he used the Small Heavenly Eye, he was astonished by what he saw.
"No wonder no one has discovered this Celestial Cave. It's hidden so deeply and is covered by the earth spirit energy. Even an Immortal Emperor, after taking control of this world, might not be able to find it if they're not careful!"
Xu Yan didn't rush inside. Instead, he created some noise and commotion first. He wanted to make it seem like he had gone through a lot of trouble and used various techniques to find the entrance, thus lulling Mei Wu into a false sense of security and not revealing his ability to see through illusions.
...
Inside the hidden Celestial Cave underground, scorching heat permeated the entire place, with flames dancing along the walls. However, the center of the cave was surprisingly cool, devoid of any hint of heat.
In a small pond, a shoot of jade bamboo about a foot long and as thin as a thumb grew, with only a single leaf at its tip.
The jade bamboo was crystal clear, as if containing some profound and mysterious patterns within, embodying some kind of ultimate truth, and emanating a subtle aura of the Dao.
Aside from the jade bamboo in the pond, there were also several seven-mystery divine flowers and some unknown treasures growing around the pond.
A stunningly beautiful woman with an allure that could captivate anyone moved gracefully in a pink dress.
"That little rascal Xu Yan, where is he? I'm getting impatient waiting for him here!" Mei Wu gritted her teeth, her impatience evident.
To take her revenge and teach Xu Yan a lesson for offending her, Mei Wu had gone to great lengths.
To lure Xu Yan into her trap, she had deliberately placed some treasures in the cave.
The seven-mystery divine flowers and other treasures were one thing, but the jade bamboo in the pond was the real treasure, a true heavenly treasure. Even an Immortal Emperor, let alone someone above that level, would covet this item, which could aid in comprehending the Dao of Heaven.
The mysterious patterns within the jade bamboo seemed to imbue it with the essence of the Dao of Heaven itself.
A deep voice echoed through the air.
A burly man appeared, his hair and beard burning like fiery flames. "This bamboo may be precious, but it's of no use to you or me. It's just a descendant of that ancient treasure bamboo, nothing more."
Mei Wu waved off his concern nonchalantly.
Then, gritting her teeth, she added, "If I don't offer something valuable enough, that damn brat might not even bother to come!"
"Don't worry, as long as you help me capture that kid, I won't go back on my word." The man, Flame Demon, nodded his head in agreement.
"Hey, to capture this kid, you even agreed to this request. It's clear how much you hate him. Rest assured, with my help, once he's in, he won't be able to escape," Flame Demon said with a hearty laugh.
His figure transformed into a ball of flame and vanished without a trace, as if he had dispersed into the very fabric of the Tianku.
"Xu Yan, treasures aren't that easy to obtain. Now that you're here, let's see how you plan to escape from the palm of my hand this time," Mei Wu muttered through gritted teeth, her hatred for Xu Yan and his master, Li Xuan, evident.
"Your disciple is now in my grasp. Let's see what you can do about it!" Mei Wu's eyes turned cold and ruthless.
Suddenly, a loud thud reverberated from outside the Tianku.
"Mei Wu, he's here," Flame Demon's voice called out.
"He's finally here," Mei Wu sighed in relief, worried that Xu Yan might not show up.
"Di Wu, it's time to make your move. Go and bewitch Xu Yan," Mei Wu instructed as her figure disappeared, hiding herself away.
Soon after, Di Wu's figure entered the Tianku and hid not far from the pond, intentionally leaving himself exposed so that Xu Yan could discover him.
"Hehe, you're a clever one, kid. Being able to resist my Di Wu Evil Eye means you have to be stopped before you become too powerful," Di Wu thought with a cold smile.
With Mei Wu, Flame Demon, and Di Wu lying in wait within the Heavenly Prison, they were confident that Xu Yan would not be able to escape once he entered.
To capture Xu Yan, Mei Wu had paid a price, bringing a valuable item with her into the Tianku.
Thud! Outside the Tianku, noises continued as Xu Yan searched for a way in.
However, after some time, the noises stopped.
Mei Wu reappeared, looking at Di Wu and asking, "Didn't you give him a map? Didn't you tell him how to get in?"
Di Wu twitched his lips. "I was worried it would be too obvious, so..."
Mei Wu grew anxious, worried that Xu Yan might not be able to find his way in. Thankfully, an hour later, noises echoed once more, indicating that Xu Yan hadn't given up.
"Xu Yan, you little brat, you better find your way in," Mei Wu muttered, her heart filled with anticipation and worry.
But once again, the noises ceased after a while.
"Flame Demon, create some disturbance and guide Xu Yan to the entrance," Mei Wu urged, unable to sit still any longer.
"Fine, but Di Wu here isn't very reliable, is he?" Yanmo sighed in resignation.
Di Wu's face turned awkward, and he silently cursed Xu Yan as well. "This kid Xu Yan seems clever, but how come he can't even find his way in?
Whoosh! A scorching hot breath surged through the entrance of the Tianku, as if Xu Yan's persistent probing had finally triggered a response from the Tianku itself.
"Interesting. I thought it was Di Wu, but it seems there's another one. Is this one responsible for sealing the Tianku?" Xu Yan mused.
"Using flames to directly seal the Tianku, do they really think they can trap me here and leave me with no chance of escape?"
Xu Yan observed the disturbance caused by the Flame Demon. "Their strength is nothing more than the Undying Realm. Do they really think they can hold me here?"
Xu Yan pondered for a moment, and with a single thought, the distant forest transformed into countless swords that flew towards him, intertwining to form a short sword that he tucked into his sleeve.
"As long as I can hold you here for a moment, that's all I need," Xu Yan thought, a plan forming in his mind. At the same time, he took out a formation plate, ready to use it to catch Di Wu off guard and buy himself some time.
With this momentary distraction, he would be able to trick Mei Wu and get his hands on the treasure.
Xu Yan deliberately created more noises to disguise his actions, and after some time, he finally discovered the entrance, a smile of satisfaction spreading across his face. However, he remained cautious and entered the Tianku carefully.
