Huo Rulie had been taking Yun Che very far away, completely out of the perception range of Yan Wancang and the others.
As soon as he landed, Huo Rulie anxiously grabbed Yun Che’s shoulders and almost shouted, “What happened? How did you survive? You and your master clearly already… Could it be some special space escape? No, no! With that kind of opportunity, there is no way you could have used space escape in time.”
Huo Rulie asked a lot of questions in a hurry, and then suddenly his eyes were fixed: "What's wrong with your profound strength...?"
I hadn’t noticed it before, but I was suddenly shocked to realize that the aura of profound energy released by Yun Che… was actually at the Spiritual Realm! ?
Yun Che did not answer. He waved his left hand and a huge shadow was released from the Sky Poison Pearl, landing on the dry ground.
A strong fishy smell suddenly hit him in the face. Huo Rulie took a step back and instantly lost his voice: "Ancient... Qionglong!?"
The corpse of the ancient Qilin Dragon was something that they in the Flame God Realm had coveted for hundreds of thousands of dollars. Originally, they thought that although the Qilin Dragon was dead, it had fallen into the Burial God Inferno Prison and there was no chance of getting it anymore. In the past, at least they could still desire it, but from now on, even the desire would become a shattered bubble.
And now, it suddenly appeared before his eyes, so close.
Although it was covered with wounds, it was intact.
In the past, with his fiery temper, he would have been unable to hold back and rushed forward with a roar, but now, his eyes were wide open and his feet seemed to be nailed to the ground, and he did not move a step for a long time.
Because he felt he was not qualified to touch it.
"After its death, this Qionglong almost fell into the hell of fire like the first one. This was the result of my master's all-out efforts and almost death. I couldn't let it disappear in vain, so I finally saved it."
Yun Che said in an exceptionally calm voice, to be precise, it was the result of him and Mu Xuanyin risking their lives together.
“According to the original agreement, our Snow Song Realm and your Flame God Realm… will each take half.” Yun Che said.
“Uh…” Huo Rulie stared at Yun Che blankly, unable to speak for a long time.
If nothing unexpected happened and Mu Xuanyin was able to successfully hunt down the Qilin Dragon, their half would feel at ease taking it. After all, although it was all due to Mu Xuanyin's strength, the ancient Qilin Dragon belonged to their Flame God Realm.
However, the huge accident, coupled with the fact that they did not listen to Yun Che's advice and ignored his poisonous oath and pleading in order to avoid a "possible small mistake", led to the death of Mu Xuanyin and Yun Che... They were still alive, which made them unbelievable.
Now faced with the corpse of the Qionglong, how could they have the nerve to take another half?
Moreover, they all thought that the two horned dragons had sunk into the God Burial Fire Prison after their death and were burned into nothingness. The surviving Yun Che could have monopolized the entire horned dragon with peace of mind. Even if they knew this, they could only say nothing.
"You...really...give us half?" Huo Rulie's voice trembled, still unable to believe it.
“Of course, this was agreed upon at the beginning.” Yun Che said.
“…” Huo Rulie took a deep breath and placed his hands heavily on Yun Che’s shoulders: “Yun kid, do you know what this horned dragon means to our Flame God Realm? You… you saved my Ye’er’s life, and I have no way to repay you. You… you have done me such a great favor again. I still cannot repay you even if I give you my life.”
Yun Che smiled and said, “To be honest, if it were me, I would definitely not share the Qionglong with you. However, this was the result that Master and you agreed upon. Even though you have let my Master down and almost caused her to die in the Inferno, my Master and my Snow Song Realm will never go back on our promise! Master will definitely make the same decision after he wakes up... I’ll trouble Sect Master Huo to pass these words on to Sect Master Yan and Sect Master Yan.”
"..." Huo Rulie nodded heavily: "Okay."
“Then, Sect Master Fire will take the body of the horned dragon for the time being. After keeping half of it, please give the other half to the Snow Song Realm.” Yun Che continued.
Huo Rulie was stunned, and asked in confusion: "Let me keep it? Why don't you take it back to Snow Song Realm first, and then you keep half of it and give us the other half?"
Yun Che’s eyes were complicated, but he did not answer. Instead, he said, “Sect Master Huo, the reason why I want to meet you alone is because I have three things to ask of you. Please…”
"Just say it!" Huo Rulie waved his hand without hesitation: "As long as you say a word, I won't frown even a bit."
He was a person who absolutely did not want to owe favors to anyone. He had saved Huo Ye's life before, and now he had offered the coveted Qionglong to him. These two were the two greatest favors he had ever received in his more than ten thousand years of life. He was so happy that Yun Che asked him for something.
However, he could already sense that Yun Che was clearly troubled.
Yun Che turned his gaze towards the corpse of the Qionglong. “When Master suddenly mentioned that he wanted the complete Qionglong Heart of this Qionglong, it was actually for me. My cultivation is low and I am unable to cut open the body of the Qionglong, so I have troubled Sect Master Huo to take out the Qionglong Heart.”
“This is easy!”
Huo Rulie didn't ask any questions and flew up. With a flash of fire, he had cut open the dragon's belly.
Given the power of the ancient horned dragon, under normal circumstances, even if Huo Rulie used all his strength, it would be difficult for him to hurt it in the slightest. But after death, without the protection of dragon power, it would not be too difficult for Huo Rulie to damage its body.
The powerful mysterious power blocked the dragon's blood. With a scan of Huo Rulie's spiritual sense, he quickly found the dragon's heart. With a slight change of gestures, he took it out easily. The cut dragon's belly was also sealed by the mysterious power.
Although the Qionglong is large, its dragon heart is exceptionally "small", less than ten feet in size.
"Get it! Be careful with the dragon blood!"
Huo Rulie gently pushed the Qionglong Heart in his hand.
Yun Che immediately reached out his hand, took the Heart of the Qilin Dragon, and then put it into the Sky Poison Pearl.
After the unicorn horn, the ancient dragon heart was also in his hands. The remaining items were the wood spirit bead, the imperial grass, and the nine-star Buddha jade.
Although Mu Xuanyin's extremely powerful Ice Phoenix Yuan Yin allowed him to break through to the Soul Realm overnight, there were only two years left until the Xuanshen Conference.
The progress of the Divine Soul Realm must be much slower and more difficult than that of the Divine Origin Realm. Referring to the progress of the Divine Origin Realm, even if he could stay in the Snow Song Realm, relying on the top resources of the Snow Song Realm and the spiritual energy of the Nether Frost Sky Lake, it would be basically impossible for him to break through to the Divine Tribulation Realm within two years.
Not to mention that I will be alone and helpless in the future.
The only hope he could rely on was the "Qian Kun Wu Qiong Dan". Before the Xuanshen Conference, he could only rely on his own strength to find the remaining three materials.
“The second thing…” Yun Che said, “Sect Master Huo, I heard that you have personally gone to a star realm called Hei Ya Realm to buy Wood Spirit Pearls for Brother Huo Ye many times in the past thousand years?”
Huo Rulie's eyebrows jumped violently, but then immediately softened: "Did Poyun tell you? Alas, this matter... is indeed difficult to talk about. After all... behind every Wood Spirit Pearl is a cruelly hunted Wood Spirit. This is also the most asshole thing I have ever done in my life."
“I can understand that Sect Master Huo is eager to save his son.” Yun Che said earnestly: “Sect Master Huo, is the spatial profound formation that leads to the Black Ya Realm still there? I have something important to do and want to go to the Black Ya Realm.”
After a short pause, he told his purpose truthfully: "I want to find a Wood Spirit Pearl!"
"Hmm?" Huo Rulie was surprised, but he was the leader of the Jinwu Sect after all, so he understood immediately and said thoughtfully: "So, you want to go to the underground black market over there to find the Wood Spirit Pearl? Could it be... for your master's injury? Oh... that's not right."
Yun Che: “…”
"Look at me, I'm talking too much." Huo Rulie patted his lips lightly, and without asking any more questions, he said directly: "Don't worry, the mysterious formation is not only still there, but the remaining energy should be just enough to complete one transmission."
“Great.” Yun Che secretly breathed a sigh of relief: “Then, please ask Sect Master Huo to grant that… underground chamber of commerce’s sound transmission mark.”
“This…” Huo Rulie was embarrassed, and then said, “It’s not that I don’t want to give it to you, but the existence of those underground chambers of commerce is extremely secretive. They will only receive guests they can fully trust on a regular basis. As for voice transmission, even if outsiders get their voice transmission marks, they can’t transmit to them at all.”
The Wood Spirit Tribe must not be hunted or killed. This is a strict order from the Eternal Heaven God Realm. Once the Eternal Heaven God Realm knows about this, the consequences can be imagined. Therefore, the underground chambers of commerce that sell Wood Spirit Pearls will be extremely cautious... Besides, in addition to Wood Spirit Pearls, there are things that are more taboo than Wood Spirit Pearls.
“So… what’s the location?” Yun Che frowned.
"No matter which underground chamber of commerce, there is no fixed location..." Huo Rulie suddenly slapped his forehead when he was speaking: "Oh! Got it!"
After saying that, he searched in his personal space for a long time, and then took out a black round jade and a red token at the same time.
"Over the years, I have been going back and forth in the Black Ya Realm to buy more than a dozen Wood Spirit Beads. As the number of Wood Spirits is decreasing, and hunting them is against the way of the Dao, the risk is extremely high, which has led to the price of Wood Spirit Beads becoming more and more expensive. In order to buy these dozen Wood Spirits, I also spent a huge price. In return, I gained enough trust from the underground chamber of commerce to give me this piece of black jade."
"This piece of black jade is useless and has no anomalies elsewhere, but when you arrive at Hei Ya City in Hei Ya Realm, it will automatically sense and guide you to find the people from the underground chamber of commerce. However, each piece of black jade corresponds to a fixed owner. Even if you use it to find someone from the underground chamber of commerce, he will definitely not take you there... However, if you add the sect master's order that can prove my identity, there should be no problem."
After saying that, Huo Rulie stuffed the black jade and the sect master's order into Yun Che's hands and said, "Those underground chambers of commerce have been able to survive for so many years, so they naturally have extremely strong ways of survival. This is all I can do. If it still doesn't work, you can come back to me, and I will personally go get you a wooden spirit bead."
“Thank you for your hospitality, Sect Leader Huo. It would be better for me to go by myself.” Yun Che took back the black jade and the Golden Crow Sect Leader’s Order.
"Haha, good." Huo Rulie laughed: "I thought they were all big things, but they are just a piece of cake. What is the other thing? This third thing should be more decent, right?"
“The third matter… will definitely make things difficult for Sect Master Huo.” Yun Che said.
Huo Rulie threw his hands in anger and said, "As long as you say so, I'll be your grandson if you make things difficult for me. Just say it."
Yun Che sighed softly, his expression becoming quite complicated: “The last thing I want to ask Sect Master Huo is… I want you to lie for me in front of my master.”
"Tell... a lie?" Huo Rulie was stunned.
“I have to leave the Snow Song Realm temporarily due to an unavoidable reason. The fact that I will be heading to the Black Ya Realm must not be known to anyone, especially Master… So, please, Sect Master Huo, do not tell Master and the others where I am going. Just say… just say that I left for the north. It’s fine as long as I am not found.”
"I know that Sect Master Huo is a man of integrity and will never lie... But Sect Master Huo, please agree to this."
Huo Rulie was silent for a long time before he slowly said, "I was wondering why you gave the Qionglong to me first instead of taking it back to the sect. I was even more confused as to why you wanted to go to a dangerous place like the Black Ya Realm in person. If you want the Wood Spirit Pearl, any decent person from the sect would be much more suitable and safer than you... So, you are planning to leave the Snow Song Realm."
Yun Che: “…”
"Why?" Huo Rulie frowned, completely confused.
“Because of a compelling reason and something that must be done. Sect Master Huo, please do not ask any more questions.” He absolutely could not tell the real reason because it concerned Mu Xuanyin’s reputation.
“Hmm…” Huo Rulie did not ask further questions, but seemed to understand something and nodded slowly. He put away the ancient horned dragon and took Yun Che with him: “Okay, let’s go!”
Without saying hello to Yan Wancang, Mu Bingyun and the others, he deliberately avoided their spiritual perception and headed straight to the south.
Flame God Realm, Golden Crow Sect.
As Huo Rulie blasted out a flame, a small dimensional mysterious formation slowly lit up before his eyes.
"The remaining energy is indeed enough to activate it again." Huo Rulie put away his palm: "After entering, you will be teleported to a random location above Heiya City. However, this is a one-way teleportation array. If you want to come back, you need to find another teleportation array point that can lead to the Flame God Realm or the Snow Song Realm, and spend a lot of purple stone and purple crystals."
“…Unless I am found by my master, I probably won’t be back in the short term.” Yun Che seemed to be talking to himself, and then he walked directly towards the teleportation array.
"Wait!" Huo Rulie stopped him and took out a jade stone that emitted dazzling golden light.
“Nine Sun Jade.” Yun Che called out its name. It was exactly the same as the one that the Golden Crow Spirit had given him in the Illusory Demon Realm.
“Oh? You actually know its name.” Huo Rulie placed it in Yun Che’s hand: “Nine Sun Jade is its ancient name. Nowadays, it is generally called Golden Crow Jade. It is of the same level as the Vermillion Bird Jade on you, and is also the highest-level energy jade in our Flame God Realm. Your profound boat is very… peculiar. Perhaps you will be able to use it.”
Yun Che did not refuse and took it gratefully.
"Boy Yun, I have a question and you must answer it for me." Huo Rulie's eyes suddenly became extremely serious.
“Master Huo, please speak.” Yun Che said.
"You...really sneaked into the bottom of the God Burial Infernal Prison?"
When asking this question, Huo Rulie’s eyes were fixed firmly on Yun Che’s, with a strange light flashing in them that Yun Che could not understand.
“…” Yun Che turned around and walked towards the Dimensional Profound Array: “I really want to say that I was just panicking because I was worried about Master’s safety, but… I don’t want to deceive Sect Master Huo. Sect Master Huo, please forget about this matter.”
When the voice fell, he had already entered the mysterious formation, and a dimensional mysterious light enveloped him.
Yun Che's words were undoubtedly a tacit agreement. Huo Rulie's brain suddenly made a light "hum". After being stunned for a moment, he suddenly rushed forward and yelled, "Yun boy, wait..."
Clang!!
The dimension switched, and Yun Che’s figure, along with the dissipated mysterious light, disappeared before his eyes.
Huo Rulie stood there in a daze, his expression and eyes constantly changing, and after a long time, he slowly calmed down.
If he really sneaked into the bottom of the God Burial Infernal Prison, then wouldn't it be...
Phew! Forget it, that would be a problem for him. However, if he could come to the Flame God Realm again one day...
"He's in his twenties, but his elemental talent far surpasses Po Yun's. He was able to cure Ye Er in just three days, and he achieved the Divine Soul Realm in just half a year in the Divine Realm... He saved Mu Xuanyin from the claws of the ancient Qilin Dragon that even I couldn't get close to. This kid..." Huo Rulie sighed deeply, "I can't imagine his future."
Yun Che left the Flame God Realm, and at the same time, he left the Snow Song Realm, to which he had developed deep feelings… and headed for a completely unknown star realm called the Black Ya Realm.
As a person who had come to the God Realm from the Lower Realm less than a year ago, he immediately received opportunities and protection that even the profound practitioners in the God Realm did not dare to hope for. In the Snow Song Realm, he could enjoy the best resources in the entire world, with the support of the most powerful backer in the entire world. All he needed to do was to practice, without having to be on guard against or fear any storms.
But as he caused a huge disaster, he was forced to leave this harbor made of ice and snow.
After leaving the Snow Song Realm, he was like a lonely duckweed, drifting towards the boundless ocean of the God Realm. In the future, he could only face the unknown storms ahead alone.
