"Yes."
Old Lai bowed and retreated.
Ding Shan gazed into the distance, his lips curling into a smile as he muttered to himself, "Brother Qianqian, will you be able to return? I'm looking forward to it. "
Outside New Yan City, the Myriad Treasures Tower's grade-nine warship had transformed into a streak of light, piercing through the air at breakneck speed.
Su Lianyi praised, "So this is Sire Qianqian's Monarch warship? It's extraordinary indeed. At this speed, we'll arrive in half the time. "
Wan Qianqian pondered for a moment. "Pass down the order to head for Shichuan City."
"Shichuan City?" Su Lianyi exclaimed, "That's too far from New Yan City. Even if Sire wants to avoid detection, there are still many nearby cities to choose from."
Wan Qianqian said, "At our current speed, it'll take about a month to reach Shichuan City. I'll be able to suppress my injuries during that time. What about you, Feiyang? "
Li Yunxiao muttered, "A month or so … Alright, I'll go with Brother Qianqian. I have some questions I'd like to ask Brother Qianqian. "
Wan Qianqian said, "Asking is too polite."
After settling everyone down, Wan Qianqian and Li Yunxiao went to a guest hall.
This grade-nine warship was massive, much larger than the Beiming Family's warship that Li Yunxiao had taken out to sea.
Staying anywhere inside was as easy as walking on flat ground. It didn't feel like they were flying at all.
"Feiyang, if you have anything to say, just ask."
The living room was very spacious. There were more than ten chairs inlaid with gold and jade. Wan Qianqian randomly picked one and sat down. With a wave of his long sleeve, a pot of fine wine appeared, along with two exquisite cups.
"This is the inferior wine I brought with me. If Feiyang doesn't mind, you can have a taste."
He filled the two cups to the brim, and an aroma filled the entire hall.
Li Yunxiao said, "Brother Qianqian, you look very relaxed right now. You don't look like you've suffered a setback at all. I'm quite impressed with your attitude."
Wan Qianqian handed the cup to Li Yunxiao with a wry smile. "I'm just trying to find joy in hardship. Do I have to wear a gloomy expression all day? How about trying this wine? "
Li Yunxiao chuckled and led the way. He was full of praises and said, "Even if I don't drink it, I know it's a peerless treasure. How could Brother Qianqian carry inferior wine with him? "
Wan Qianqian laughed and said, "Sometimes when I think about it, who can break away from fame and wealth and roam freely in the Great Void? For the rest of their lives, they might as well let go of fame and go into seclusion. How carefree would that be?"
Li Yunxiao sternly said, "It's not impossible."
Wan Qianqian bitterly smiled. "Unfortunately, it's easier said than done. I can't do it."
He shook his head and said, "Feiyang, if you have anything to say, just ask."
Li Yunxiao narrowed his eyes and said, "Then I'll get straight to the point. Where did the Tyrannical Heavenly Tempering Art that Brother Qianqian gave me come from? How is it related to what Ao Changkong has learned?"
Wan Qianqian pondered for a moment, then said, "I knew you would ask this. When I told you that I got it from Ao Changkong and told you not to reveal it, I wasn't lying. That Tyrannical Heavenly Body Refinement Art was indeed given by Ao Changkong. "
"Given?!"
Li Yunxiao's face darkened. "What's going on?"
Wan Qianqian said, "It's a long story, but I definitely have no intention of harming Feiyang. You can rest assured about this. This time, Ao Changkong agreed to make a move against Ling Baiyi to return the favor from back then. That's because the Tyrannical Heavenly Body Refinement Art he learned was also taken from me. "
"What?!"
Li Yunxiao was extremely shocked. He seemed to be in a mess as he said, "What exactly is going on?"
Wan Qianqian sighed and said, "Do you know why I have the confidence to return to New Yan City to fight Ding Shan?"
Li Yunxiao said, "Brother Qianqian's strength is extraordinary. As long as he recovers, he'll be able to contend against Ding Shan. Add to that the experts by his side, and more than half of the Myriad Treasure Pagoda's countless years of accumulation, it won't be difficult to fight Ding Shan. "
Wan Qianqian said, "What you said makes sense, but my greatest trump card isn't this. Rather, it's a trump card that the Myriad Treasure Pagoda already had when it was founded. Even the Myriad Treasure Pagoda rose to prominence because of this. "
"When the Myriad Treasure Pagoda was founded? Wouldn't that be tens of thousands of years ago? "
Li Yunxiao was shocked. The Myriad Treasure Pagoda had a long history, and he knew that what Wan Qianqian was going to say next would be extremely secretive.
As expected, Wan Qianqian's consciousness spread out in all directions. He then formed several hand seals and sealed the entire hall.
Seemingly still worried, he said, "I'm very weak at the moment. Feiyang, help me monitor the surroundings. Make sure no one hears us."
Li Yunxiao said, "Don't worry. Everyone on the ship is under my perception. No one will eavesdrop. "
Only then did Wan Qianqian nod in relief. "Tens of thousands of years ago, my ancestor accidentally obtained an enormous treasure trove. That's why he established the Myriad Treasure Pagoda and rapidly developed it to become the number one merchant association in the world."
"Enormous treasure trove?"
Li Yunxiao seemed to have understood in an instant. "If I'm not wrong, the treasure trove hasn't been emptied after so many years. It's enough for Brother Qianqian to make a comeback. Moreover, the Tyrannical Heaven Tempering Art also came from this treasure trove?"
"Not bad. It's so comfortable to talk to smart people."
Wan Qianqian praised. "Brother Feiyang should know that it's impossible to step into the God State in the current world. If you want to rule the world and obtain god-like power, tempering your body and making it a saint is a very feasible method."
Li Yunxiao was startled. "If that's the case, why didn't Brother Qianqian cultivate the Tyrannical Heaven Tempering Art yourself, but instead gave it to Ao Changkong?"
This kind of peerless divine ability couldn't be passed down through a jade slip. It must be passed down through a very special medium. Just like how he inherited Tsutsumi's divine art in Crimson Moon City. Moreover, it could only be passed down once.
Wan Qianqian couldn't cultivate this art anymore after giving it to Ao Changkong. And from the looks of it, he really didn't cultivate it.
Wan Qianqian smiled bitterly. "Because I can't trigger the medium."
Li Yunxiao was stunned. He suddenly realized that he had asked a stupid question. Just like Tsutsumi's divine art, it had been in Crimson Moon City for many years. It was as if it was waiting for him, allowing him to take advantage of it.
Perhaps the Tyrannical Heaven Tempering Art was waiting for Ao Changkong.
Li Yunxiao said, "Who is this Ao Changkong? Why did you pick him?"
Wan Qianqian said, "Who the hell knew about Ao Changkong at that time? But I knew that the Ao Clan was good at physical skills. Moreover, they were very famous among the secluded clans. That's why I looked for them. They sent Ao Changkong over, and I succeeded after one try."
Wan Qianqian smiled bitterly. The shadow in his heart was hard to calculate.
"Ao Clan?" This was the first time Li Yunxiao heard of it. He only knew that Ao Changkong suddenly rose up and shone like a comet. Then, he disappeared without a trace. Very few people heard of his whereabouts.
He also guessed that Ao Changkong might be from a secluded clan, but he couldn't prove it.
"How strong are these secluded clans?" Li Yunxiao couldn't help but furrow his brows. It seemed that there were still many strong existences in the Realm of Heaven Martial Arts, apart from the two Holy Lands and the seven factions.
Wan Qianqian said, "If you want to talk about understanding the secluded clans, no one can compare to the Merchant Alliance, especially my Treasure Tower."
He was slightly proud of himself as he said, "Those clans don't interact with the world, but they exchange all kinds of resources. The truly strong existences aren't inferior to the seven factions. If all the secluded clans came out, I'm afraid that at least one-third of the world would belong to them. "
"One-third …"
Li Yunxiao muttered. It seemed like he wanted to judge how strong the secluded clans were from this ratio.
Wan Qianqian said, "Feiyang, you don't need to think too much. Most of them won't come out. The only public platform is the Heaven's Moat Cliff. Although the Heaven's Moat Cliff's position in the secluded aristocratic families is not as transcendent as the Sanctuary, its position is still extremely high. It has the vague image of a leader and is highly respected by many powers. "
Li Yunxiao said, "The Heaven's Moat Horizon is indeed mysterious, and it holds the key to the Fairyland of Langhuan in the north. Even the Sacred Zone couldn't negotiate with them many times. They could only let them control it."
After saying so much, Wan Qianqian's mood eased. He said with a smile, "That's why there's always someone better than you. Even if you suffer a setback in the Realm of Heaven Martial Arts, you still have a great chance to make a comeback. "
Li Yunxiao said, "The Immortal Realm of Langhuan Heaven is about to open. Brother Qianqian, are you going to disappear?"
"What?!"
Wan Qianqian trembled as if he was greatly shocked. He grabbed Li Yunxiao and screamed, "Where did you get this information? How come I don't know about such a big event?! "
Li Yunxiao briefly told him about Nanqiu Yu's appearance in the sky.
"Damn it! Damn Nanqiu Yu and Huangfu Bi! How could they not tell me such a big thing?! "
Wan Qianqian's face turned livid. He sat on his throne and didn't say anything.
Li Yunxiao said, "It should be because the news hasn't spread yet. I just happened to run into Nanqiu Yu when he went to look for Huangfu Bi. With Brother Qianqian's strength and status, he naturally had to go. "
"Well, that should be it."
Wan Qianqian's mood improved a little. He said, "Otherwise, with the Merchant Union's intelligence network, it would be impossible for there to be no news. I didn't expect the Immortal Realm to open. Heaven is really on my side! "
His face was slightly flushed, and his eyes were shining with excitement. He stood up from his throne and paced back and forth. He couldn't calm his excitement.
"Oh? Brother Qianqian, are you familiar with the Immortal Realm? "Li Yunxiao asked.
Wan Qianqian said, "Well, I do know a bit about it. It's not that I'm stingy. It's just that I can't tell anyone about it now. On the day it opens, Feiyang should stay by my side to avoid danger. "
"Danger?" Li Yunxiao was suspicious.
Wan Qianqian laughed and said coldly, "The world thinks that the Immortal Realm leads to the Immortal Realm. Although it's generally correct, it's also incorrect."
Li Yunxiao listened to these ambiguous words and carefully chewed on their true meaning.
Wan Qianqian said, "This time, I can visit Nanqiu Yu at Heaven's Moat Horizon and inquire about the inside story. In short, Feiyang, don't worry. When the Immortal Realm opens, I won't let you suffer a loss! "
