Chapter 472: Chapter 472: News of Qu Luoning

Li Huainan was also filled with a look of surprise, his gaze landing on Ji Chen.

Originally, they thought Ji Chen was just an unknown figure, but witnessing him crush the Divine Cicada with his bare hands showed that he was far from as simple as he appeared.

The Jade Pool Divine Lady remained silent, her beautiful eyes also scanning Ji Chen, and then her jade-like fingers started to calculate.

A moment later, she frowned, her eyes showing a trace of astonishment, "Who are you? Why do I calculate some connections between you and my Turquoise Pool?"

"Oh?"

Upon hearing these words, Li Huainan and Wei Pingsheng exchanged glances, surprise filling their hearts.

Ji Chen said nothing, his eyes meeting hers. After a moment of contemplation, he flipped his hand and took out a piece of Cyan Jade, showing it to the others, and spoke, "Divine Lady, do you recognize this item?"

This Cyan Jade was evidently left behind by the Jade Pool Divine Lady when she took Qu Luoning away.

"This is..."

The Jade Pool Divine Lady was taken aback, then squinted her eyes, "You come from the Lower Realm Plane?"

She seemed to have thought of something.

Ji Chen nodded, "The person the Divine Lady took away at that time was my wife."

She realized, suddenly understanding everything, "Less than a year has passed, and someone has already come to find her in the Immortal Realm."

"Because of me, Luoning was injured, leaving only a strand of her Divine Soul. I want to know how she is now?" Ji Chen urgently wanted an answer.

The Jade Pool Divine Lady said, "She has awakened and has now entered the Turquoise Pool, becoming the personal disciple of the Immortal Master."

"Really?"

Hearing this, Ji Chen was immediately overjoyed.

Anyway, the fact that Qu Luoning could recover was already the best news for him.

"However, don’t be too happy yet." The Jade Pool Divine Lady suddenly spoke.

"Why?" Ji Chen couldn’t help but frown upon hearing this.

"Although Junior Sister Luoning is fine, after waking up, she no longer remembers matters of the Lower Realm." She stated frankly.

"This..."

Upon hearing this, Ji Chen frowned even more.

A good while later, he finally spoke, "Regardless, the fact that Luoning can wake up is already the greatest comfort for me. As for past matters, there will eventually be a way to recall them."

"Can I see her?" Ji Chen asked again.

The Jade Pool Divine Lady nodded, "Of course, a month from now is the decennial Jade Pool Gathering, when countless peers from the Immortal Domain will come to the Turquoise Pool. If you want to see her, just attend the gathering then."

"The Jade Pool Gathering..."

Ji Chen nodded, secretly noting this in his heart.

"So, brother, you are from the Lower Realm, may I know your name?" Li Huainan opened his mouth.

Instinct told him that the white-robed youth in front of him was not simple. Although from the Lower Realm, being able to crush the Divine Cicada with his bare hands meant his Physical Power was nothing ordinary.

After all, even a Dominator Body would find it hard to achieve such a feat.

"I am Ji Chen." Ji Chen slightly clasped his fists.

"Ji Chen?"

Upon hearing this, Wei Pingsheng was first taken aback, then squinted his eyes, "I heard not long ago that a Lower Realm genius with a Special Physique appeared in Yanzhou, named Ji Chen. It should be you, right?"

"Barring any accident, the Ji Chen you’ve heard of is probably me." Ji Chen nodded.

He had caused quite a stir in Yanxian City, so his name would more or less spread in the Immortal Realm.

Although not to the extent of worldwide fame, it wasn’t surprising that some had heard of him.

Besides, Wei Pingsheng, having a Dominator Body, would naturally keep a close eye on people with Special Physiques, and he probably knew quite a bit about the events in Yanxian City.

"Hongmeng Body Ji Chen... I heard you even slew Xu Yan from the Profound Celestial Pavilion. Although not a top-notch genius renowned throughout the Immortal Domain, he still ranked among the top young Kings within Yanzhou, yet you killed him, indicating your strength is anything but ordinary," Wei Pingsheng said.

"Being able to kill Xu Yan is truly not something ordinary people can accomplish, especially within Yanxian City. Escaping under the eyes of the Profound Celestial Pavilion isn’t something the average person can do," Li Huainan was equally surprised, unable to help but speak.

The Profound Celestial Pavilion was one of the top Major Sects within Yanzhou, although far from the likes of Purple Mansion or the Turquoise Pool’s Immortal Sects, it still had several Harmonization Immortal Realm experts present. Being able to kill Xu Yan under their eyes and then escape unscathed is definitely not something that can be done with just pure luck.

The Jade Pool Divine Lady saw through her calculations for a moment and said, "The Profound Celestial Pavilion has already issued a kill order for you. I calculate that you will face many setbacks in the near future, with quite a few aiming to kill you."

Ji Chen shrugged and said somewhat indifferently, "Let those aiming to kill me come, provided they truly have the ability to do so."

Before long, after chatting a bit more and collecting all the Divine Cicadas, the group continued their journey into the mountains.

After about two hours of exploring, Ji Chen and his companions had a fairly decent harvest, uncovering many Ancient Weapons and Magical Artifacts buried in the soil.

But most had lost their effectiveness. Only a small portion was usable, in addition to some fragments suspected to be Immortal Artifacts.

These items clearly didn’t hold much allure for Ji Chen.

Having obtained an Immortal Sword from the ruins of the Dao Yi Sword Sect, he naturally wouldn’t be too interested in anything not an Immortal Artifact.

Finally, the Valley came to an end.

Ahead, wild grass grew densely, thickly packed.

The Jade Pool Divine Lady was still calculating, but found that in this place, no matter how she tried, she couldn’t discern anything related to cause and effect.

The group’s eyes scanned around, but they didn’t find anywhere appearing unusual.

"Logically, if this really is one of the three secret caches of the Undying Immortal Monarch, it shouldn’t just contain these rusty weapons," Wei Pingsheng couldn’t help but say.

Although they did find some valuable items during their trip, the value of these items was not enough to justify the name of the Immortal Monarch’s cache.

"Perhaps there’s something overlooked, let’s look around," Li Huainan remarked.

With that, the four of them dispersed, searching in this area.

"There’s an Ancient Cave here."

Soon enough, Wei Pingsheng discovered something.

The group gathered at his call.

Pushing aside the wild grass, they realized that there was indeed a concealed cave here.

The inside of the cave was damp, with a faint wave of inexplicable Daoist Immortal Power pervading, causing Ji Chen and others to feel a tremor inside them.

"Let’s have a look."

There was no reason to miss such a place.

With that said, the four tentatively entered.

On the cave’s rock walls were embedded various Crystal Stones, sparkling and translucent, though they appeared extraordinary, in fact, they were only impressive in appearance, serving no purpose for cultivators.

However, with the light emitted by these Crystal Stones, Ji Chen and his companions’ vision was quite clear, the visibility ahead wasn’t low.

The further inward they went, the more that pervasive Daoist Immortal Power in the cave intensified, as if some terrifying presence were sleeping deep within the cave.
