Diana asked, "Even if he completed that so-called heroic path, why would he be able to obtain a divine weapon? Sohow, I feel as if those two things aren’t exactly connected."
"That’s a part of the natural laws of this world. As long as you can repeat Arjuna’s heroic path, you’ll obtain the acknowledgnt of this world’s will. Then, you can obtain the divine weapon," the voice explained.
"What kind of divine weapon is it? Judging from what you’re saying, if Arjuna could survive until now, he would have to be ridiculously powerful. How could a divine weapon alone defeat him?" Alina said worriedly.
"That’s not sothing you need to worry about. With that divine weapon, you’ll have the strength to face Jarashandha. As for what it is exactly, please forgive for not being able to tell you. You’ll understand when the ti cos," the voice said.
Sharky really found this kind of deliberate obfuscation annoying. He replied, "But what if we really complete the mission and you don’t deliver on what you promised afterward? We don’t have any guarantee at all."
"If you can complete the mission, you’ll have already received the acknowledgent of the world. Furthermore, you’ll then have a divine weapon and can even defeat Jarashandha. Why wouldn’t you be able to deal with ?" the voice replied with a chuckle.
Sharky was speechless. Bro, you’re making so much sense that I don’t even have anything to say.
"Can seniors co out and show themselves to us?" Diana asked. She ca from the Devil Sect and was used to running into sinister sches. She still wasn’t fully convinced.
The voice sighed and said, "I would actually like to, but there’s a sealing formation restraining here. With your current strength, you would only be throwing away your lives without achieving anything if you tried to barge in. You should just do as I say and follow the heroic path first. We’ll talk about everything else after you obtain the acknowledgent of this world."
Sharky’s group exchanged a look. They had sensed that he was really powerful earlier, but they’d had similar suspicions when they saw that he hadn’t shown himself. Now, their suspicions were confird.
Charlotte said through ki, "This cave is indeed covered in rune formations, and whether in terms of their power or their complexity, it far exceeds what we faced in the fiend races’ Imperial Tomb. They are at a level I cannot comprehend."
Sharky gave the endless Mountain Range a look and added, "It’s not just rune formations, either. This cave draws from the surrounding mountains’ dragon vein. There’s an extre formation inside that borrows the great power of the world. Even if it were the Fiend Emperor or Emperor Henry, they still wouldn’t be able to leave that place."
He had been studying ’One Drop of Heaven’s Essence’ for so ti and learned quite a bit. He was already able to pick up on so patterns among mountains and rivers.
Seeing that the group was going to continue, the voice explained the heroic path. "Back then, the first one Arjuna killed was none other than the Vritra... Vritra..."
After hearing that explanation, Sharky asked so questions before saying, "I will do my utmost. I definitely won’t let down your trust."
The beautiful won were shocked. They hadn’t expected him to actually agree so easily. However, they were all composed individuals. Even though they were doubtful, they didn’t ask anything.
The voice sounded grateful as it said, "It’s been so many years. I can finally see hope, hahaha! The heavens have treated quite well after all." Saying that, it started vanishing.
---
It was aningless for Sharky to stay there, so he quickly brought the won out of the place.
"Sharky, do you really believe what he says? Also, that Jarashandha seems to be an extrely powerful being. Do we really have to provoke him?" Alina asked worriedly.
Even though Diana and Charlotte didn’t say anything, the worry in their expressions was clear.
"I didn’t actually accept his request because I believed him," Sharky explained. "You haven’t entered Unknown Regions before, but every single Unknown Region has sothing like a main quest. You have to complete that mission to unseal the secret dungeon and be able to leave. Otherwise, you’ll only be slowly waiting for your demise."
"Morever, the Jarashandha, he was talking about it, it was already died, even if it was alive, he will not strong as he previous self."
After thinking about Sharky’s past experiences, Diana couldn’t help but say with a sigh of amazent, "I didn’t really think much of it when I heard you talk about it before, but only now that I’m going through it myself do I realize just how difficult it was for you to safely leave those Unknown Regions."
"And you have even unsealed several Unknown Regions," Charlotte said, looking at him with a conflicted expression. When she had first t this fellow, she’d just felt that he was a pervert with flowery speech.
And yet, the longer she stayed at his side, the more she understood just how outstanding he was. The only flaw was that he was already her disciple’s man...
"Haha, praise more! I’m shaless, so I can take it all," Sharky said. He felt amazing when he saw the three won’s looks of admiration.
"Hmph!" Charlotte harrumphed. This guy was still just as shaless as always.
"Sharky, I still feel that it’s too dangerous this ti. The powerful figures that person ntioned all seem as if they could ascend to immortality if they wanted to. Not even Emperor Henry or the Fiend Emperor would necessarily be able to complete this kind of trial..." Alina said worriedly.
"Unknown Regions are quite special. It isn’t necessarily possible to pass through by relying on one’s own strength. Instead, it’s necessary to rely on wit and luck," Sharky said.
He looked at the three won and continued with a smile, "The Fiend Emperor has a dunce of a Golden Crow Crown Prince at his side, while I have clever and resourceful beauties at my side. That’s already enough to cover the difference in strength."
The three won blushed. They sighed inwardly, thinking that this guy’s words really were slathered with honey. No wonder so many won liked him.
Diana was the first to snap out of her daze. She harrumphed and said, "Of course we’re smart, but are you really that confident in your luck?"
"Of course. If I had bad luck, how would I have been able to et such stunning female friends?" Sharky replied, looking at the three with a gentle expression.
Charlotte’s expression was strange. She thought to herself, how she was previously treating Sharky as a junior? And then, she ends up being bullied by him, she finally know just how much of a rude and domineering man he is. Ah... What kind of nonsense am I thinking...
Just like that, the group entered the vast mountains. They encountered so beasts along the way, but with their strength, they were able to deal with them easily.
Soon afterward, they arrived at a bare mountain. Let alone trees, there wasn’t even a single stalk of grass growing on it.
"This really is strange... Just then, this mountain was clearly full of life when we saw it in the distance earlier. It was greener and more lush than any other mountain. Why are there no plants at all now that we’re close to it?" Diana wondered.
"It’s probably because of this." Alina raised her dress and kneeled down, picking up a dark green rock.
"What is that?" Charlotte asked, taking the rock from her and looking at it. Even though there were strands of ki in it, it wasn’t a ki stone and couldn’t be used for cultivation.
"Judging from the color and shape, these should be made of the legendary Green Jadestone, a material for weapon refinent. Apart from that, they’re rumored to be able to help so special cultivators break through," Alina explained.
The others knew that Alina had once been the leader of the number one gemstone clan, so her knowledge of that field was definitely exceptional.
"Oh, so these are Green Jadestones! They’re all good stuff. Collect as much as you can! They’ll be useful once we get out of here," Diana said. Her eyes began to burn fervently as she looked around.
She discovered that there was quite a large amount of them, and a big smile appeared on her face as she collected them.
"Look at that greedy appearance of yours," Charlotte said with a frown. She clearly felt that such behavior was unbecoming of a grandmaster.
"Hmph, stone cold woman, do you think everyone is like you, better than the common people? I didn’t live a life as pampered as yours, with the White Jade Sect’s people to help you with everything."
"Our Holy Sect has always been on the poor side. Of course I have to be a bit stingy in order to grow the Holy Sect..." Diana said as she stroked the Green Jadestone in her hand.
Her smile affected her normally sharp eyes to the point that they resembled crescent moons. She continued, "...let alone the fact that this stuff is worth quite a bit."
Sharky moved over to Charlotte and said, "You should take so. Even though there’s quite a bit of Green Jadestone here, it’s extrely rare outside."
"I do not need any," Charlotte said indifferently. At any other ti, she would likely start collecting them, but after being mocked by Diana, she really couldn’t bring herself to do it.
If she collected so now, wouldn’t she be just as shaless? Who knew what Diana would do to hold that over her.
Sharky laughed. This woman normally acted all cold and aloof, but she actually had such an adorable side to her.
"Hmph, stone cold woman, you’ll regret this sooner or later. Don’t co looking for if you ever need these Green Jadestones, because I won’t give you any." Diana harrumphed.
Charlotte thought, Why would I look for you? Wouldn’t Sharky have so? She was alard as soon as that thought erged in her mind. A pink blush appeared on her fair cheeks, making her look even lovelier.
Diana gave her a strange look, thinking to herself, Why is this stone cold woman suddenly acting all cute?
Still, she had to admit that the woman was ridiculously pretty. If I were a man, I definitely wouldn’t be able to resist her temptation.
Soon afterward, Diana collected her fill. Even though she was a grandmaster, her storage space was limited. However, Alina didn’t seem to be stopping.
Diana quickly realized that it was the effect of the World Painting! They had even been able to collect the spiritual spring on Suparnagiri Mountain, so collecting so Green Jadestones naturally wasn’t a problem.
Even though there weren’t really endless mountains and seas inside the painting, it was much larger than normal storage spaces.
Diana couldn’t help but say with a sigh, "The Principal’s skills in the field of spatial research really are terrifying."
Charlotte’s expression was grave. They naturally knew that with Alina’s current strength, there was no way she could create sothing like that. That ant it could only be the Principal’s work.
Alina blushed and said, "This is a treasure that I found in my early years in an ancient secret dungeon. Later on, my master helped improve it a bit, and that was how this World Painting was ford."
Only then did Charlotte and Diana feel relieved. So it was an ancient treasure! If it really had been the Principal’s work, it really would make others feel despair towards their own lack of talent.
Sharky suddenly thought of sothing, saying, "This should be the Pushkara Mountain Shisupala talked about before."
They rembered the mysterious voice ntioning ’Pushkara Mountain, devoid of grass, full of green jade’. Wasn’t that the exact description of this place?
"Everyone, be careful. This is already the Vala’s domain," Sharky reminded them.
They stopped collecting the Green Jadestones and began to look around vigilantly.
"Did you all notice? Ever since we entered this mountain, we hadn’t run into a single monster," Alina said.
"That’s normal. Other creatures often avoid the territory of powerful creatures," Diana said. She also looked around with her divine will, but she didn’t sense the Vala there.
"Huh? There is a temple over there!" Charlotte called out, pointing in a certain direction.
