"Since the Palace of Eternal Night in the Western Extres is nad for eternal night, why is this city called Sleepless City?"
In a tavern in Sleepless City, soone raised this question.
"Sleepless, of course, ans that people yearn for brightness, but you must not underestimate the Eternal Night Palace. Their masters are descendants of the Great Black Sun. Apart from several dozen Golden Cores, there are also three Nascent Souls, suppressing everything."
"Three?"
Upon hearing this, a young man was startled. For most cultivators, becoming a Golden Core Master was the dream; Nascent Souls were simply too remote.
And the Eternal Night Palace actually had three?
"Although there are three, one hasn't shown his face for hundreds of years. As for the true situation, it's beyond what we can know. This ti your trip to the northwest isn't mainly to deal with the Eternal Night Palace, but to et a peer. When the ti cos, you mustn't be arrogant. On the contrary, get close to him and earn his approval."
"Are you talking about ng Yu?"
One of the won present, beautiful with a graceful figure, spoke with a hint of jealousy.
"No, you should respectfully call him Sect Master ng, or Brother ng."
The elder's expression suddenly beca serious, "The matter of the three hundred Golden Cores is true."
If using Azure Star's naval battles to describe it, Qi Cultivation is like a patrol ship, Foundation Establishnt is an escort ship, Golden Core is a battleship, and Nascent Soul corresponds to an aircraft carrier.
A hundred Qi cultivators facing guerilla Foundation Establishers stand little chance, but escort ships with torpedoes (Divine Thunder) and main guns (Art of Gathering Force) swarming in, fifty Foundation Establishers forming a Great Formation, would force a Golden Core to retreat. As for Golden Core against Nascent Soul, Golden Cores already possess ans to breach Nascent Soul defenses. Seven or eight Golden Cores from renowned orthodox sects joining in formation could greatly trouble a Nascent Soul, and might even easily lead to their downfall."
This ti, ng Yu's ntion of three hundred Golden Cores truly terrified many, and quite a few were eager to forge ties with ng Yu.
If it wasn't for the Western Wastes being too far from the Central Plains, visitors would have already sward in, but even so, many couldn't hide their enthusiasm—when a region erges a suprely dominant force, that place's public security, business environnt, and cultivation resources quickly improve. And ng Yu, a newly rising figure with insufficient trusted followers, was seen by many as an opportunity.
While the elder wanted to say more, he heard a voice.
"Sect Master ng Yu of the Moon-Watching Sect is here."
Ah?
He was stunned, dazed, and his first reaction was to run fast.
A Foundation Establishnt leader had co to the enemy's stronghold and publicly revealed his identity, which, in the world of cultivation, likely ant that a battle was about to begin.
…
Red fire, black earth, erald water, glittering gold, and lofty wood composed the most common, most mature Five Elents Formation. The light shield enveloped the shop, yet ng Yu threw out the bodies of so small gangsters one by one.
"Right, you go out too."
ng Yu said to Yuan Ziyu.
"Ah?"
Yuan Ziyu was sowhat dazed.
First, she hadn't expected ng Yu to truly reveal his identity; second, couldn't she be helpful by staying here?
She was a Golden Core, the famous Purple-robed Sword Immortal, who had mastered the Flowing Cloud Sword Intent. Her presence here…
"Get out. The upcoming turmoil is not sothing a small fry like you can handle. Um, take this, find a place to hide, and don't show your face anyti soon."
ng Yu threw her two items, one was a Jutsu Array Disk, which could boost a person's speed to the extre, a valuable tool for fleeing; the other was a magical treasure like mist, which could obscure the heavens and conceal one's presence.
Upon receiving the items, Yuan Ziyu imdiately realized their extraordinary nature. She had seen such a Jutsu Array Disk before; the sect leader always kept one close, a life-saving item in critical monts!
As for the veil-like magical treasure, upon taking it, she could sense its na was Dawn Cloud Five Flowers Veil, filled with densely packed talismans, various precious materials, and crafted by a Nascent Soul Master, making this Third Grade Magical Treasure of very high quality, much better than her own Autumn Water Cloud Piercing Sword!
Right, when she was leaving, ng Yu also returned her Autumn Water Cloud Piercing Sword to her, not caring for it at all. She thought ng Yu was pretending to be generous; that sword was a fine product of Sky-splitting Sword Sect, ng Yu must still have so hook or sothing, but now…
"I, I can stay and help. I am loyal to the Moon-Watching Sect, I am willing to..."
She suddenly changed her mind. Now that she was being pursued and had seen the vicious faces of those people, the dark world that devoured people without spitting bones, she suddenly felt that ng Yu was truly a good person.
"Scram!"
ng Yu let out a light shout and kicked her on the buttocks. Although she could have dodged, for so reason, perhaps due to the aftereffects of those days, she felt it wasn't good to dodge. Holding two magical treasures in her hand, she was kicked out of the shop.
It was sowhat embarrassing, but she wasn't angry. Of course, she wasn't angry. When she was a child, before her master bestowed magical treasures on her and she got spanked for mistakes, had she been angry then?
At that mont, the outside was very chaotic. The Golden Core cultivators were panicking, and the experts from the Palace of Eternal Night in the Western Extres and the Myriad Gold Pavilion ran as far as they could the instant they could.
This was her chance, and she ran out!
Her subordinates weren't with her; they were hiding sowhere. She ran now, looking for a place to hide, but she wouldn't go too far. She harbored a small hope in her heart that if ng Yu could take down Sleepless City or the Palace of Eternal Night in the Western Extres, she could also jump out to help...
Impossible, it was utterly impossible. After all, the Palace of Eternal Night in the Western Extres was a super sect in the northwest, with three Nascent Souls enough to crush any prying thoughts. Unless ng Yu's Divinity Transformation father personally intervened, it was not possible.
But... she had also seen the lack of manpower in the Moon-Watching Sect, where even soone like Yu Paopao could hold a high position!
She tightly gripped the Chao Yun Brocade and made a decision in her heart.
...
Helplessly shaking his head, ng Yu certainly didn't need Yuan Ziyu.
After activating the Array, ng Yu directly crushed a few ruffians and tossed them out of the Array. Moreover, there was no need for him to move personally in such a chaotic grocery store.
With a flick of his fingers, the grocery store was destroyed by an invisible force and turned into a vacant lot. Then, ng Yu took out so items from his Storage Bag.
Tea table, tea sets, so decorative items—these were gifts from the Immortal Sect when he visited last month. The officials earnestly told him if he encountered disputes, he could sit down with so of the folks, drink tea, chat, and peacefully resolve the issues.
This was a set of tea ware with no lethality, only for cultivation and refinent of character, which had once belonged to a True God Transforming Master. Later, due to unworthy descendants, the Immortal Sect annihilated them and seized to the national treasury, giving them to ng Yu as a Buddhist offering with gratitude after he cleared his balance.
ng Yu was not skilled in the art of tea, but brewing a simple cup was no issue. He brewed himself a cup and sat down.
Alas, the Great Demon King had just left his castle when he was blocked at the crossroads.
What is all this fuss about...
...
When ng Yu spoke, he made use of a Magic Artifact, and his voice spread throughout Sleepless City.
Instantly, this tiny grocery at the city's edge drew countless gazes.
Nurous spies flocked here, and all sorts of ghosts and goblins from the city gathered nearby. However, by now, the entire grocery store had transford.
The Array's light shield covered tens of acres. Looking up, what everyone saw was the most authentic Five Elents Array—though every family claid their Five Elents Array was the authentic one, the one laid out by the Moon-Watching Sect showed through the interconnected Spiritual Energy that the arrangent was done by a master.
This was important, but more importantly, was the Eye of the Array.
The person who set up the Array didn't deliberately conceal the state of the Eye of Array. Those who had trained in the Art of Qi Observing could see ten Array Eyes at a glance, which were the ten Magical Treasures that made up the Positive and Negative Five Elents Formation, each a Third Grade Five Elents fine product.
Golden Cores are wealthy but also very poor; many spend their whole lives possessing just one Third Grade weapon or Magical Treasure, tediously maintained and used, then passed on to offspring. Yet now, a Foundation Establishnt cultivator from the Western Wastes, casually and simply, had set up such a luxurious Array at his temporary residence!
The people of Eternal Night Palace had already taken action, and various intel began to converge.
"He entered the city with only one maid, without any other followers."
"He wandered around the city for a day and then ca here."
"Not as undercover enforcent but to et with people from the Moon-Watching Sect sub-branch here. We also didn't know that Ding Yijun was from the Moon-Watching Sect."
Thanks to the recording function of the Great Array, thanks to the cultivators' ability to rember what they see, and thanks to the professionalism of the analysts, ng Yu's various intel was quickly sketched out, including him buying so small toys, his random strolling, and more... The analysis given by the analysts was extrely headache-inducing yet made perfect sense.
He was just passing by, with no ill intentions, coming from the Western Wastes to walk around a bit; it just so happened that a grandson of Wang Jindan from Eternal Night Palace tyrannically bullied a disciple from the Moon-Watching Sect. The woman wasn't feigning weakness; the Moon-Watching Sect had not made arrangents for her yet. In fact, she had already been handling various possessions, preparing to leave, which is also why Wang Yingjie pressured her speedily.
This analysis, different from several others, reached the upper echelons of the Eternal Night Palace, but more people believed that ng Yu had co with many Golden Cores.
ng Yu was a bit worried, while the Eternal Night Palace was in a state of chaos, hyper-nervous, with countless disciples patrolling everywhere. Nurous Flying Boats were launched into the sky, the City-Protecting Great Array was fully activated, and the Eternal Night Palace Great Array was also ready, even disturbing the secluding Nascent Soul Masters, with soone personally arriving outside Sleepless City.
This chaos lasted an entire day before it cald down.
Everyone wanted to know why ng Yu ca and what he wanted to do.
