The Thousand Cloud Palace was extremely luxurious and vast. It had three floors.
Among them, there were nearly two hundred maids and guards.
When Yun Yao entered the Thousand Cloud Palace, the sky was already dark.
Night was about to fall. Many clever and obedient maids were lighting the lanterns in the Thousand Cloud Palace.
While the maids were not paying attention, Yun Yao stealthily passed through the corridors and stairs and ascended to the third floor.
Relying on her memories from a few years ago, she stealthily found her way to Baili Ningsu's bedroom and entered an exquisite and elegant room.
Baili Ningsu was not in the room. There were only two young maids in the room.
The two maids were only in the Mystic Comprehending Realm. Yun Yao used a small trick to knock them out.
She did not have time to deal with the two unconscious maids. She hurriedly searched the spacious room.
"If I remember correctly, Mother would personally inspect the pill room at this time every day. It would take about an hour.
I only have an hour. I have to find the Nirvana Divine Crystal as soon as possible. "
Yun Yao silently pondered. Her hands moved faster and faster. She was clearly flustered and anxious.
In order to save time, she rummaged through the cabinets and chests. She did not have time to put the scattered items back to their original positions.
In a short half an hour, she had searched the entire room. The room was in a mess, but she did not find the Nirvana Divine Crystal.
Thus, Yun Yao lifted the curtain behind the golden bed and found the door to the secret room.
She relied on her memories and her own attainments in array formations. It only took her half an hour to open the array formation of the secret room's door.
Then, she entered Baili Ningsu's secret cultivation room and rummaged through it.
Baili Ningsu's secret cultivation room was naturally one of the best secret rooms in Cloud Spirit Palace. It was even more effective than Tranquil Sky.
After entering the secret room, Yun Yao entered an alternate space and arrived in a starry sky.
In the cold and gloomy starry sky, specks of stars twinkled with silver light.
The astral winds in the starry sky were biting cold. Other than a silver altar-like array formation, there was nothing else.
Yun Yao searched around the array formation twice and found that there were many array formations hidden in the starry sky, hiding many things.
However, she tried her best to decipher a few arrays, but all she found were a few books on alchemy and some rare herbs.
Very quickly, an hour passed.
Yun Yao anxiously cracked the array formation and constantly found some elixirs, pill furnaces, weapons, and so on. However, she still couldn't find the Nirvana Divine Crystal.
When she broke the formation again and found a sword in the starry sky, her heart was filled with disappointment.
When she came back to her senses, she realized that the one hour deadline had passed.
"It's over!"
"I have to leave immediately, or else Mother will find out!"
Yun Yao cursed in her heart and quickly left the dark starry sky.
When she left the secret room and returned to Baili Ningsu's sleeping quarters, her figure appeared beside the Golden Luan bed.
Just as she was about to reach out and pull the curtain to cover the door of the secret room, she suddenly heard a cold shout.
"Yao Yao, what are you doing?!"
Suddenly hearing this familiar voice, Yun Yao's body stiffened and her face turned pale.
There was no doubt that Baili Ningsu had returned to her sleeping quarters and caught her red-handed!
She let go of the curtain and slowly turned around to see Baili Ningsu standing in the middle of the room, angrily glaring at her.
"Mother, I …"
Yun Yao moved her lips with difficulty and wanted to explain something, but she found that she couldn't.
Baili Ningsu pointed at the messy room, as well as the two young maids who were still unconscious on the floor, her voice low as she asked.
"Yao Yao! You sneaked into Mother's sleeping quarters, knocked out the maids, and even turned the cabinets upside down to look for something. What kind of scandal is this?
You've always been quiet, obedient, smart, and sensible since you were young. You've never done such a ridiculous thing.
If Mother didn't see it with her own eyes, Mother wouldn't believe that such an outrageous thing was done by you.
Speak! What are you looking for? "
Baili Ningsu had always been gentle and virtuous. She had a calm and gentle temperament and was recognized as a good wife and mother.
This was the first time Yun Yao had seen her mother so angry and reprimanded her in such a tone.
However, before she sneaked into the Thousand Cloud Palace, she had already prepared for the worst.
Since the matter had already been exposed and she had been caught red-handed by her mother, she might as well not hide it anymore.
She pursed her lips and looked at Baili Ningsu with a firm gaze. "Mother, I heard that there is a sacred item called the Nirvana Crystal that can heal the injuries of people whose bodies and souls have been separated.
When I was born, I was a dead baby. You used the Nirvana Crystal to save me and bring me back to life.
So, I want to find that Nirvana Crystal to save Tianxing … "
Hearing these words, Baili Ningsu's expression changed and she angrily shouted, "Yao Yao! You're really … Have you lost your mind?
The Nirvana Crystal is not only a sacred item that is hard to come by in a thousand years, it is also a dowry that your grandfather gave to Mother. It is also one of the most precious treasures of Cloud Soul Palace!
You actually want to use the Nirvana Crystal to save that young man? You are too preposterous! "
Baili Ningsu never thought that Yun Yao, who had always been cold and indifferent, would do something that only a naughty girl would do.
Moreover, the Nirvana Crystal was an incomparably precious sacred item, a rare treasure.
Other than her closest relatives, she would never give it to anyone else!
Even her sister's orphan, Zhu Feifan, who had always been by her side, would not be able to obtain the last piece of Nirvana Crystal!
Yun Yao looked at Baili Ningsu without backing down and said in a low voice, "Mother! Before this, you kept telling me that you were powerless to save Tianxing, and that you couldn't do anything either.
But, you clearly still have a piece of Nirvana Crystal in your hands!
I know that the Nirvana Crystal is very precious, but it is after all a worldly possession. How can it be compared to a human life? "
Baili Ningsu looked at Yun Yao. Seeing how stubborn she was, she couldn't help but sigh.
"Sigh … Yao Yao, you have already been bewitched by that young man to the point that you have lost your mind.
Mother has already said all that needs to be said. Today's matter ends here. Go back and have a good rest. Calm down and reflect. "
After saying that, Baili Ningsu turned around and looked elsewhere, no longer looking at Yun Yao.
Yun Yao took a deep breath and suppressed the disappointment in her heart. She quickly left the bedroom.
She walked out of the Thousand Cloud Palace with an indifferent expression. Her figure passed through the gloomy night and returned to Nebula Palace.
After a quarter of an hour, she returned to Tranquil Sky and entered Ji Tianxing's wooden house.
The wooden house was silent and the air was filled with dense soul power. Very quickly, her emotions and soul calmed down.
She sat beside the Frigid Ice Jade Bed and quietly stared at Ji Tianxing as she sank into deep thought.
Four hours passed and she didn't move an inch.
Twelve hours passed and she still maintained her original position.
An entire day passed.
She finally made up her mind. She looked at Ji Tianxing with a determined gaze and muttered in a low voice, "Tianxing, even if my mother doesn't save you, I will!
When I was corroded by the Devil Qi and almost lost my life, it was you who saved me with your Kenshin bloodline.
