Chapter 332: Nine Heavens Green Fall Spirit Liquid

Qingfeng and Lan Xuan nodded in agreement. They also felt that the Nian Family, Hu Family, Golden Sun Sect, and Haoyue Sect were a bunch of idiots.

Being able to celebrate the birthday of such an awesome big shot was a supreme honor.

But in the end, these factions plotted a rebellion, and they were crushed.

If they weren’t idiots, what were they?

Lan Xuan said, "Let’s not worry about those idiots for now. Since they want to court death, let them die. It has nothing to do with us anyway. We need to hurry back to the Central Profound Domain. In a few days, Emperor Heaven Valley will be opening."

"What? Emperor Heaven Valley is opening?"

Qingfeng and Long Xuan were startled.

Lan Xuan said, "That’s right. Haven’t you heard?"

"No!"

Long Xuan and Qingfeng shook their heads in unison.

Emperor Heaven Valley only opened once every hundred years. It had been ninety-nine years since the last time it opened. Even if it was due to open, that should be a year from now.

Lan Xuan said, "It’s been moved up this time. It’s in just a few days."

What?

Long Xuan and Qingfeng’s faces were filled with astonishment.

Opening in just a few days?

This is too sudden.

Long Xuan asked, puzzled, "Fellow Daoist Lan, did you hear something?"

"I have indeed heard a few things."

Lan Xuan said grimly, "According to rumor, the Purple Cloud Palace has produced a prodigy who wants to enter Emperor Heaven Valley to train. That’s why the Purple Cloud Palace intends to open it early."

"Oh?"

Dragon Sword seemed to understand something.

’Most likely, the Purple Cloud Palace’s prodigy has reached a bottleneck in their Cultivation and has been unable to break through. They want to enter Emperor Heaven Valley to find an opportunity and overcome the bottleneck.’

Qingfeng frowned and said, "I thought Emperor Heaven Valley wasn’t controlled solely by the Purple Cloud Palace. Would the other factions agree to this?"

"Well..."

Lan Xuan shook his head. "I don’t know the exact reason either, but one can guess that the Purple Cloud Palace made some kind of undisclosed deal with those other factions."

Qingfeng nodded slightly.

’Only a deal based on mutual benefit could have made those factions agree.’

’The Purple Cloud Palace must have paid a hefty price this time.’

Qingfeng asked curiously, "Fellow Daoist Lan, have you heard about that prodigy from the Purple Cloud Palace?"

"I’ve heard a little."

Lan Xuan replied, "That prodigy from the Purple Cloud Palace is twenty-eight years old this year and is already at the Martial King Great Perfection Realm."

"What?"

Qingfeng’s face was full of disbelief.

’To reach the Martial King Great Perfection Realm at twenty-eight... that truly is prodigious.’

’In fact, beyond prodigious.’

A slight chill ran through Long Xuan’s heart.

’My guess was right. The Purple Cloud Palace’s prodigy has hit a Cultivation bottleneck and wants to enter Emperor Heaven Valley to find an opportunity for a Breakthrough.’

’If all goes well, this prodigy could break through to Martial Emperor.’

Dragon Sword mused, "Tsk, tsk. Breaking through to Martial Emperor at twenty-eight is truly prodigious. Of course, it all depends on who you’re comparing them to."

’Compared to ordinary people, the Purple Cloud Palace’s genius is certainly prodigious.’

’But compared to Su Mo...’

’...they’re like the tip of a single hair on one of nine oxen—completely insignificant.’

’The two of them aren’t even on the same level.’

Long Xuan said in a low voice, "Besides the Purple Cloud Palace and those other factions, the number of slots for outsiders in Emperor Heaven Valley is limited. We really need to hurry back to the Central Profound Domain, prepare, and fight for a spot to get in."

「Xiao Family.」

Everyone was cultivating in the martial arts training ground, while Su Mo sat idly in the seat of honor, not knowing what to do.

Just then, Second Elder and Shi Feng strode in.

Second Elder said, "Young Master, I’ve found the medicinal ingredients you asked me to look for."

"So quickly?"

Su Mo was instantly energized.

It had already been half a month since his Breakthrough to the Martial Artist Realm, and it was time to prepare for his advancement to Grand Martial Artist.

That was why he had asked Shi Feng and Second Elder to procure the medicinal ingredients after returning from the Giant Sword Sect.

Second Elder said, "Aside from what our family already had, the rest were procured by Patriarch Shi, who traveled all over the Northern Profound Domain, visiting hundreds of families and factions, and spent a great deal of money to purchase them."

"Is that so?"

Su Mo said politely, "I’ll have to thank Patriarch Shi properly later."

"You can thank me after you’ve made your Breakthrough, Elder Su."

Shi Feng took out the medicinal ingredients and arranged them on the stone table. "These are the ingredients I found. Please take a look, Elder Su."

"Hundred-Year Water Spirit Fruit, Thousand-Year Spiritual Milk, Thousand-Year Rehmannia Root, and Earth Core Jade Mother... Not bad. These are all the ingredients I need for my Breakthrough, but it seems one is missing."

Su Mo looked up at Shi Feng and asked, "Why is there no Nine Heavens Green Fall Spirit Liquid?"

"Well..."

Shi Feng said guiltily, "Reporting to Elder Su, the Nine Heavens Green Fall Spirit Liquid is a legendary Treasure. I searched the entire Northern Profound Domain but could not find it, so..."

"That won’t do!"

Su Mo’s brow furrowed deeply.

Without the Nine Heavens Green Fall Spirit Liquid, he couldn’t refine the Nine Dragon Venerable Pill needed for a Breakthrough to the Grand Martial Artist Realm. He would be unable to break through for the rest of his life.

Shi Feng asked, "Can’t you substitute it with other ingredients?"

Su Mo shook his head.

The Nine Dragon Venerable Pill required for each stage of the Nine Dragon Venerable Technique was different and extremely demanding.

Not even a supplementary ingredient could be replaced, let alone a primary one. It had to be refined according to the original formula.

Otherwise, it would have no effect.

Shi Feng was speechless. "That’s asking too much."

’If it existed here, I would be willing to help Elder Su buy it, no matter the cost.’

’If worst came to worst, I could even steal it.’

’But the Nine Heavens Green Fall Spirit Liquid simply doesn’t exist in the Northern Profound Domain.’

’What am I supposed to do?’

Su Mo said, "A clue to the whereabouts of the Nine Heavens Green Fall Spirit Liquid would be fine too."

"A clue?"

Shi Feng scratched his head. "There is a lead, but it points to an existence we can’t afford to provoke. Stealing it from them is completely unrealistic."

"Just tell me the location. You don’t need to worry about the rest."

Su Mo said nonchalantly.

Shi Feng said, "The Purple Cloud Palace!"

"The Purple Cloud Palace?"

Su Mo asked, "What’s that?"

Shi Feng answered, "The Purple Cloud Palace is an incredibly powerful faction in the Central Profound Domain. It even has the potential to surpass a Sacred Land."

"Surpass a Sacred Land? No problem. I’ll personally pay a visit to the Purple Cloud Palace and have a talk with their Palace Master."

Su Mo said nonchalantly.

However, Shi Feng shook his head and said, "Elder Su, it’s not as simple as you think. While the Purple Cloud Palace did have the Nine Heavens Green Fall Spirit Liquid, that was a hundred years ago."

"Huh?"

Su Mo was speechless.

’Needless to say, the Purple Cloud Palace must have used up the Nine Heavens Green Fall Spirit Liquid by now.’

’After all, that was a hundred years ago.’

’No one would hold on to a Treasure for a hundred years without using it. That would be too foolish.’

Shi Feng chuckled. "Even if the Purple Cloud Palace used up their Nine Heavens Green Fall Spirit Liquid, the Emperor Heaven Valley they control has more."

"Emperor Heaven Valley?"

Su Mo asked, "Is that the Secret Realm where nine Martial Emperors are buried?"

Shi Feng nodded. "That’s right. Nine powerful Martial Emperors are indeed buried there. They were the ancestors of the Purple Cloud Palace and eight other major factions. It was originally an extra-dimensional minor world, but after ten thousand years of evolution, it has transformed into an unparalleled treasure ground."

"An unparalleled treasure ground?"

Su Mo asked in pleasant surprise, "Does that mean Emperor Heaven Valley is filled with many peerless Treasures?"
