This Black Cave King who achieved enlightennt was an ancestor from over 20 million years ago. It is said that after only three reincarnations, he was caught and killed during his period of weakness by a rival, which was very tragic.
His true estate was naturally emptied by that rival long ago, but the sesa-seed-sized benefits of the enlightennt site could never attract another Black Cave King to search painstakingly for it, hence its current ergence.
The enlightennt site is a bit far from Wuyang Academy, separated by roughly one-third of a planet, and is located in a range of barren mountains; that’s why it took so many years to be discovered.
Fortunately, there aren’t any powerful Demon Beasts there, most are in the Stellar Realm, occasionally a few in the Milky Way Realm, but none in the Cot Realm.
Since the Jade Tripod Wall is basically useless to Martial Artists of the Cot Realm, the big figures quickly reached a consensus: in this scouting journey, no Martial Artists of the Cot Realm should enter.
Not only people from Wuyang Academy can go to the enlightennt site; everyone from the Da Qin Empire can, including various noble families and factions. However, there is one rule that must be observed: no experts of the Cot Realm should be sent!
Obviously, everyone treated this expedition as a training, an exercise that would be bloody.
If you’re afraid to die, don’t go!
The reward always cos with risk, where’s the sense in reaping benefits without paying any price? Moreover, the Empire absolutely doesn’t want to cultivate greenhouse flowers. How can it work without experiencing real life-and-death situations?
"It’s agreed that Martial Artists of the Cot Realm should not enter; sigh, so people just have to intentionally break the rules!" Walking in the desolate forests, Zhou Heng sighed while looking at the pristine Hongyue.
"I’m not in the Cot Realm, so I’m not breaking the rules!" Hongyue said casually, obviously in a good mood, bantering with Zhou Heng.
After departing from the Imperial Capital through the Teleportation Array, experiencing a full five days of teleportation followed by a ten-day trek, they finally arrived at this wild mountain range where experts in the Cot Realm secretly patrol the surroundings, preventing other Cot Realm experts from entering to disrupt the balance.
However, how could these people see through Hongyue’s strength and allow this Chaos Realm expert to swagger in—besides, if they really knew her identity, who would dare to stop her?
"Hongyue sis, please help your husband get a few pieces of the Jade Tripod Wall to breakthrough to the Milky Way Realm first. Otherwise, here, where experts of the Milky Way Realm are everywhere, how could your husband possibly snatch anything?" Ying ngfan pleaded with Hongyue.
Zhou Heng brought the Immortal Residence along, unwilling to leave it in Wuyang Academy. But having a large group go out hiking was impractical, so all the won appointed Ying ngfan as their representative to gently seek help from Hongyue.
Of course, if Ying ngfan failed, the won would take turns stepping in; for their man, they would spare no effort.
Hongyue was cold and indifferent, completely ignoring Ying ngfan—she even disdainfully dismissed the Heaven’s Mandate True Monarch, showing how high her standards were. What did Ying ngfan and the others count for?
Zhou Heng stopped ngfan’s gentle pleas; he didn’t want his woman to suffer such grievances. Besides, a strong figure like Hongyue obviously speaks the truth. If she said she wouldn’t help here, then she certainly wouldn’t.
"Speaking of which, where’s the estate?" The Black Donkey kept looking around, while the academy only told them the enlightennt site was here, but didn’t specify the exact location.
"It seems we’d have to find it ourselves!" Zhou Heng said; this wild mountain spans thousands of miles, and there’s a mysterious force absorbing the Divine Sense he releases, making it impossible to sense anything.
This should be the Black Hole naturally ford by the Black Cave King. Even after so many years, it still wields such power, showing the terror of the Black Cave Realm!
Because the Black Hole consus everything, including Divine Sense and scent, even Little Fire is helpless. It seems they can only search the land inch by inch with their eyes!
It all cos down to luck; without luck, even the Milky Way Emperor might not find anything, while a Star King might return full-handed.
Zhou Heng tried to invoke the Black Sword, hoping for the Treasure Artifact to guide him, but the Black Sword remained motionless. With Zhou Heng’s advancent in Realm, its definition of "treasure" has risen. To respond, it likely needs at least Heavenly Mysterious Spirit Crystal at the Black Hole level, or Heavenly Scripture from the Bright Realm.
Hongyue remained indifferent, reclining on Little Fire’s back—the little guy, poked by Hongyue’s finger, involuntarily expanded its body, forced to act as a steed.
"I sensed it!" At this mont, the once-silent Fire Divine Furnace suddenly exclaid excitedly; ever since Hongyue’s arrival, it had been behaving extraordinarily well, "There’s Exotic Fire here, though the scent is weak, I sensed it! Hahaha, only the energy of Heaven and Earth’s Exotic Fire wouldn’t be fully absorbed by the Black Hole!"
This was truly a pleasant surprise!
Hongyue glanced at Zhou Heng’s Dantian, pouting, "I never thought this furnace’s nose would be keener than a dog’s!"
"Woof!" Little Fire barked in protest.
"Heh heh, just a little trick, not worth ntioning!" Fire Divine Furnace said slyly, though its Divine Sense exchange with Zhou Heng didn’t escape Hongyue’s notice.
With the Fire Divine Furnace pointing the way, Zhou Heng’s group no longer wandered aimlessly like headless flies, heading southwest. But after traveling only a hundred miles or so, they encountered another group.
"Scholar Hongyue!" Leading them was a young man with an imposing presence. Upon seeing Hongyue, his eyes glead with extraordinary light, hurriedly approaching.
Hongyue paid him no attention; her standards were so high that those she considered worth watching numbered no more than thirty—either Saints or prominent figures in the Chaos Realm, clearly excluding the man before her.
The previous playful banter was rely to stir up enmity for Zhou Heng. Now, she had aroused enough enmity, and naturally beca indifferent towards such small figures, only closing her eyes leisurely atop Little Fire, as if asleep.
The young man showed no sign of grievance; instead, his obsession deepened, yet his gaze eventually shifted to Zhou Heng, smiling and saying, "I am Yuwen Hua; I believe Junior Brother Zhou has heard my na!"
Although his tone was calm, he exuded strong disdain from his core—a kind of pride.
Yuwen Hua?
Zhou Heng had indeed heard this person’s na; he was one of the Four Little Heavenly Kings of Wuyang Academy. It was said he already possessed more than 9100 stars, with the potential to beco an Overlord of Martial Arts, and would be qualified to challenge the Four Great Heavenly Kings within a hundred years.
"Zhou, this guy is provoking you!" the Black Donkey nudged Zhou Heng.
Isn’t that obvious? Who in the academy doesn’t consider him as a public enemy now? This Witch really knows how to cause trouble!
Zhou Heng sighed and said, "A good dog doesn’t block the way, move, move!"
Hearing Zhou Heng calling them dogs, the young n accompanying Yuwen Hua all showed anger on their faces, but without Yuwen Hua’s command, they just glared angrily at Zhou Heng.
"Junior Brother Zhou, speaking so insultingly towards your fellow academy brothers, don’t you think it’s a bit excessive?" Yuwen Hua said calmly, but his tone was chilling and carried a murderous intent.
Zhou Heng laughed heartily and said, "You ca over to flirt with my wife, and you expect to be polite to you? Are you brainless or just brainless?"
Wife!
It’s just a fiancée, isn’t it!
Yuwen Hua was not soone without depth, but standing in front of Hongyue, he was as impulsive as a hot-blooded young man. Wife and fiancée were two entirely different concepts!
A fiancée hadn’t entered the household yet and could still be a young maiden, whereas a wife was absolutely a real woman!
Though whether Hongyue was a maiden or not wouldn’t change Yuwen Hua’s ambition, the emotional perspective was entirely different!
He glared viciously at Zhou Heng, saying, "What have you done to Scholar Hongyue?"
"None of your damn business!"
Yuwen Hua glanced at Hongyue and saw she had her eyes closed, pretending to nap, which reassured him greatly.
Her fiancé was in a dispute, yet she acted indifferent, clearly implying their feelings were not in harmony! As long as he got rid of this kid, wouldn’t this impossibly beautiful woman be his? So he thought.
Actually, beauties were like ornants to Yuwen Hua; he could have any he wanted, lying in his bed to be played with as he wished. Because he was of noble lineage, a son of a great family, with an Old Ancestor who was a Peak Cot Emperor, ranking in the top twenty in the Da Qin Empire in terms of power!
But upon seeing Hongyue, he realized he had been living in vain all those years! And he understood why he had never been infatuated with any woman before, because he had been waiting for Hongyue all along!
She was his perfect match, the future matriarch of the Yuwen Family!
"Zhou Heng, you have insulted a noble, I challenge you!" Yuwen Hua coldly said to Zhou Heng.
"Don’t speak so gloriously, lust is lust!" Zhou Heng said disdainfully, clenching his fists and said, "I accept your challenge!"
"Then let’s have a battle in the sky!" Yuwen Hua flew skyward.
Zhou Heng also shot up into the air; although he didn’t like fighting without reason, Hongyue had already attracted a vast amount of hatred for him, which couldn’t be resolved just by enduring it.
If it’s a fight, then a fight it is, who’s he afraid of?
Boom!
The two imdiately engaged in a fierce confrontation without another word, and the sky was soon lit up with brilliant flashes of light.
As soon as they clashed, Zhou Heng realized the other was indeed not a false na; deserving of the title of one of the Four Little Heavenly Kings, his battle power was extraordinary! If he could also reach the height of nine thousand stars, he could definitely hold the upper hand, but currently, he only had five thousand stars, even with the addition of his physical Brutal Strength, he could only fight Yuwen Hua to a standstill.
But this already left Yuwen Hua’s followers dumbfounded. Besides the other three Little Heavenly Kings, when had they ever seen a Star Emperor able to battle equally with Yuwen Hua?
Moreover, this person rely had five thousand stars!
Which ant, once Zhou Heng beca a 9000-star Star Emperor, Yuwen Hua would no longer be his match!
This!
Yuwen Hua obviously realized this too, and feeling both angered and hated, he suddenly burst forth with a powerful montum, transforming into a massive White Tiger that appeared above him.
An imposing aura at the Overlord of Martial Arts level!
Crushing everything in the sa realm! (To be continued. If you like this work, please visit Qidian to vote for recomndations and monthly tickets, and your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read on m.qidian.)
