Chapter 509: Chapter 481: The Plague God Visits
Misthaven Ocean, an uninhabited island.
Sikong Yi and Baili Chen cautiously looked around, making sure no one was following them, before they entered the Hidden Cave Mansion they had created themselves.
The place was small and extrely simple.
However, being in there, Sikong Yi felt extraordinarily at ease.
His clone, Baili Chen, stood at the entrance, vigilantly on guard.
The real Sikong Yi, though, was completely relaxed, lying on the bed, contemplating his future plans.
“If I’m not mistaken, the anomaly in the center of the Misthaven Ocean should be the harbinger of the ergence of the Celestial Palace of Clouds and Waters.”
“The ‘The Cloud and Water Scroll’ should be in this ruin.”
“A hundred thousand contribution points.”
A trace of longing flashed in Sikong Yi’s eyes.
However, doubt quickly erged.
“The Celestial Palace of Clouds and Waters should still have successors in the world. If I impersonate a disciple and go there, and happen to be discovered by them…”
Just thinking about it gave Sikong Yi a headache.
Not long ago, his clone who was cultivating ‘The Godly Sword of Calming Seas’ suddenly sensed that another person was practicing this technique sowhere in the Misthaven Ocean.
You must know, this Golden Core Technique was sothing he obtained from the remains of a Celestial Palace of Clouds and Waters disciple years ago.
In today’s world, apart from him, there should be nobody else who knew about it.
Yet, this happened.
His first reaction at that ti was that the Celestial Palace of Clouds and Waters still had successors in this world.
Originally, he wanted to follow the sense of the sa practice, but as he approached the target location, he felt increasingly uneasy.
If he went, he would surely die!
Having arrived at this conclusion, Sikong Yi was so scared that he imdiately retreated a great distance.
If you think about it, how could he, a small Energy Refining cultivator, compete with a lineage that had been handed down for thousands of years?
After barely escaping, Sikong Yi could not sleep or eat in peace, worried that the other party would follow the link established by the sa cultivation thod and co knocking at his door.
“The Golden Core Technique is precious, but compared to my life, it’s nothing.”
After much hesitation, he temporarily discarded the thod of the Godly Sword of Calming Seas, retaining only the cultivation skill, which stayed in his Dantian.
As a result, the combat power of his clone dropped dramatically.
These days, he had been more cautious and careful in his actions.
Unless it was necessary, he would stay in his Tianxuan Mirror or this Hidden Cave Mansion.
Now, as the day when the Celestial Palace of Clouds and Waters would open was nearing, his thoughts started to beco more vivid.
“A hundred thousand contribution points, a hundred thousand contribution points…”
He kept murmuring softly to himself, and gradually, determination started to appear in his eyes.
“That Taiyi old turtle has lost his wits, I should go to him as fast as possible. After that, I’ll relearn ‘The Godly Sword of Calming Seas’, pretend to be a disciple of the Celestial Palace of Clouds and Waters and trick the Cloud and Water Scroll from them.”
“After leaving the Celestial Palace of Clouds and Waters, I’ll quickly suppress my cultivation, travel to the Tianxuan Mirror to receive the reward. This way, even if that successor realises sothing’s amiss and wants to find , he should be too late.”
“The only thing I need to do is be faster than him.”
“Risk and opportunity co hand in hand!”
Sikong Yi, who was determined, breathed a long sigh of relief. He was about to enjoy a good sleep, to prepare himself for the upcoming adventure.
Just then, he realized that there was a slight noise at the entrance of the Cave Mansion.
Sikong Yi, whose complexion changed dramatically, quickly got up and went to the entrance.
Along with his clone, he was on high alert.
“Is Brother Baili here?”
One sentence made Sikong Yi’s heart jump into his throat.
“Who is it? How does he know my identity? And about this cave mansion?”
In a flurry, Sikong Yi’s spirit consciousness was filled with nurous images of people.
But all of them were rejected by him one by one.
Narrowing his eyes, Sikong Yi and Baili Chen didn’t respond. Instead, they retrieved magic tools from their Storage Ring and began secretly gathering power.
Seeing that there was no response for a long ti, the voice from outside said again, “Hehe, Friend Baili, don’t worry, I bear no ill intentions.”
“I ca uninvited this ti, just for the hundred thousand contribution points of ‘The Cloud and Water Scroll’.”
Hearing this, Sikong Yi’s heart was shocked, and the magic tool in his hand almost slipped out of his grasp.
His expression continuously changed, he pondered for a long ti before finally speaking.
Controlling his avatar, he purposefully used a hoarse voice, asking, “What do you an?”
The other party chuckled, “Friend Baili, don’t play dumb. Do you really think that you are the only one in the world who knows the bottom of ‘The Godly Sword of Calming Seas’?”
Finally confirming that the other party was not bluffing, Sikong Yi asked in a deep voice after a long silence, “What do you want to do?”
“What do I want to do? What a way to put it.” The other party chuckled, “Naturally, I want a slice of the pie. Who wouldn’t covet a hundred thousand contribution points?”
Upon learning the other party’s intention, Sikong Yi was sowhat relieved.
After thinking for a long ti, he finally opened the entrance prohibition. Joined by his avatar, back to back, they stepped out.
Blocking outside the cave mansion was a nondescript middle-aged cultivator.
With a goatee on his chin and a lean face.
“Don’t be so tense, I an no harm. I am Han Wuyou!” The middle-aged cultivator cupped his fists and smiled slightly.
“Just say what you have to say!” Sikong Yi, seeing that the other party was only at the Final Stage of Energy Refining, wasn’t as nervous anymore.
After a round of standoff and exchange, Sikong Yi finally understood the whole story.
It turned out that his avatar had used ‘The Godly Sword of Calming Seas’ during a fight which had been secretly witnessed by this man.
While Han Wuyou might not be highly skilled, he was knowledgeable and well-read.
He recognized the technique as the one from the Celestial Palace of Clouds and Waters.
Recently, the abnormal scene in the center of the Misthaven Ocean also drew his attention.
After observing on-site for a while, he guessed that it was a sign of the forthcoming ergence of the Celestial Palace of Clouds and Waters.
Linking this to the task with a hundred thousand contribution points reward.
He deduced that Baili Chen, who had the inheritance of the Celestial Palace of Clouds and Waters, must have been prepared to get ‘The Cloud and Water Scroll’ from the ruins.
Hence, he followed suit, quietly visiting.
“To obtain ‘The Cloud and Water Scroll’ is my ability. Why should I share it with you!” Sikong Yi said indignantly.
“Haha, you must be kidding, Friend. You don’t want your acquisition of the inheritance of the ancient sects to be notorious throughout Misthaven, do you?” Han Wuyou stroked his beard, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.
Sikong Yi’s murderous intent was gradually rising, but then, he heard Han Wuyou say, “But indeed, I won’t take your benefits for nothing.”
“You have your way to wealth, and I have my ladder to heaven.”
“If you are willing to share so of the hundred thousand contribution points with , then I also have an opportunity to share with you.”
“If the three of us cooperate, the hundred thousand contribution points will just be the beginning!”
Sikong Yi was intrigued, “Explain!”
Han Wuyou slightly smiled, saying, “Our power is humble, even if we got the hundred thousand contribution points, our resources will be exhausted quickly, right?”
Sikong Yi thought for a while, then nodded, “The speed of earning contribution points at the Energy Refining Stage is indeed very slow. But when I break through the Foundation Establishnt Phase…”
Han Wuyou waved his hand, “How about the Foundation Establishnt Phase? Aren’t there many Foundation Establishnt cultivators in the Misthaven Ocean? Don’t they struggle every day for those pitiful contribution points? Even for Foundation Establishnt cultivators to cumulate a hundred thousand contribution points, it would take tens of years even without eating or drinking.”
“Then what good plan do you have!” Sikong Yi said defiantly.
Han Wuyou raised his head slightly, with a proud look on his face, “Have you ever heard of Master Li Fan?”
Sikong Yi was taken aback, then his body shook intensely, “You an, that master proficient in The Art of Deduction, wealthy enough to rival a nation, the monk of the Ancient Heavenly Machine Sect?”
Han Wuyou nodded, saying proudly, “Correct! I am on good terms with Master Li…”
After a pause, Han Wuyou continued, “His friend, He Zhenghao, Elder He and I have so acquaintance!”
