Long Yu did not prepare too many things. Before he left, he went to the Asura Ancient Palace and took out many Earth-level and Heaven-level elixirs, as well as some Earth-level and Heaven-level weapons. He wanted to give them to the people in the Heavenly Mandate Manor.
However, Hong Yue, the Palace Lord, said that if he just gave them away for free, no one would know that these things were not easy to obtain. He suggested a system similar to the Glaze Moon Palace's old system. That was, completing the manor's tasks would earn them points, which would then be used to reward the martial arts cultivators with what they needed.
In other words, whether it was elixirs or weapons, they had to be obtained through hard work.
Long Yu naturally agreed with this suggestion and let Hong Yue handle it himself. After all, in the Heavenly Mandate Manor, Hong Yue's martial arts realm was the highest, reaching the Heavenly Tribulation Realm. The others were not as intimidating as him.
In addition, Hong Yue was originally the Palace Lord of the Glaze Moon Palace and was quite good at management. The number of martial arts cultivators in the Heavenly Mandate Manor was less than half of what the Glaze Moon Palace originally had.
After making the arrangements, Long Yu was ready to set off with Shu Chan.
He did not intend to take the Dragon Bone Ancient Tower with him. Instead, he and Shu Chan would control the Asura Ancient Palace and head to the border of the North Snow Dynasty and the Tianqin Dynasty.
Now that Emperor Tianqin was injured, Long Yu and Shu Chan decided to act as soon as possible.
Early the next morning, Long Yu and Shu Chan entered the Asura Ancient Palace together. Both of them found the feeling of compatibility with the Asura Ancient Palace.
This kind of compatibility was like resonating with the weapons. However, it was not completely the case. After all, the Asura Ancient Palace was compatible with two people. Individually, it would not reach the level of compatibility and resonance.
Right now, neither of them could control the Asura Ancient Palace in battle. They could only use it as a flying and defensive tool. When they reached the borders of the North Snow Empire, in order to hide their tracks, they definitely could not fly the Asura Ancient Palace into the Tianqin Empire. They could only place it at the borders of the North Snow Empire.
Not long after, Long Yu and Shu Chan arrived at a place called Ruoshui Commandery.
The Ruoshui province was located in the southernmost region of the North Snow Empire. It was said that the princess was a devastatingly beautiful woman. Although she had only just stepped into the Emperor Path secret plane, there was no one in the entire North Snow Empire who was willing to offend her.
That was because such a beautiful woman had too many escorts, such as some King Path Secret Realm experts from the surrounding prefectures …
Long Yu and Shu Chan drove the Asura Ancient Palace to a place near Ruoshui County and hid it in a snowy forest. They were not worried that the Asura Ancient Palace would be discovered by others. Even if others discovered the Asura Ancient Palace, they would not be able to enter it, let alone take it away.
The two of them planned to rest in the Ruoshui Commandery for a night before setting off again the next day. However, they did not expect that their trip would actually alarm the Princess of Ruoshui.
The two of them had just arrived at the Ruoshui Commandery. When they arrived in the sky above a city of ice and snow, they saw a white cloud drifting over. A graceful figure could be faintly seen in the white cloud. Although they could not see the figure's face clearly, they could already tell that it was a beautiful woman.
"The two of you have graced my Ruoshui Commandery with your presence. My Ruoshui Commandery is truly honored by your presence."
The voice of the beautiful woman drifting over from the white cloud was as moving as an oriole. There was an inadvertent gentleness in her voice, causing her to give off a delicate and lovely feeling even before she appeared.
The Asura Ancient Palace of Long Yu and Shu Chan must have alarmed the Princess of Ruoshui. After all, at that time, the Ice Bird Demon Monarch Yu Hanxin had personally saved the people in the Asura Ancient Palace from the hands of Emperor Tianqin.
At that time, the battlefield between Yu Hanxin and Emperor Tianqin seemed to be in the Ruoshui Commandery. It was no wonder that the Princess of Ruoshui knew about the two of them.
Hearing the soft voice of the Princess of Ruoshui, Long Yu's heart skipped a beat.
The Tianqin Dynasty and the North Snow Dynasty each had about 40 to 50 commandery. The lords of each commandery were all cultivators of the Emperor's Path. However, it did not mean that there was only one cultivator of the Emperor's Path in each commandery.
Take the Ruoshui Commandery for example. Although the current Princess of Ruoshui was a beautiful woman, in reality, the previous Princess of Ruoshui was still alive. She was just living in seclusion in the Ruoshui Ice City and was also a cultivator of the Emperor's Path.
Long Yu thought that if he could not find traces of the Asura King and the Dark Shadow King, he could go somewhere else and find a cultivator of the Emperor's Path who had a good character to go back to the Heavenly Mandate Manor to guard it.
This way, it would be very beneficial for the development of the Heavenly Mandate Manor. However, he could not just pick this person randomly. Otherwise, the Heavenly Mandate Manor would very likely become the property of others.
Long Yu would not do something like inviting a wolf into his house. As such, he had to be extremely cautious.
"I did not expect Princess Ruoshui to come and greet us in person. It seems that we are quite lucky."
Shu Chan squinted her eyes and smiled. She did not show any feelings of flattery. After all, she was the Asura Princess herself and her father was a Prince. She did not have the same reverence for cultivators of the Emperor's Path that ordinary martial arts cultivators did.
"You two, please come this way. I have already prepared a good courtyard in the Ruoshui Ice City for you to stay in. However, there is one thing that I would like to ask you two."
The white cloud that the Princess of Ruoshui was hiding on quickly approached the two of them. Then, a tall and beautiful woman dressed in white appeared before the two of them. She had a pair of watery eyes that seemed to seduce one's soul and left a deep impression on anyone who saw her.
"Please speak, Princess Ruoshui."
Shu Chan nodded.
She would, of course, accept the enthusiasm of the other party. She was also too lazy to think about whether the other party had any schemes. If a cultivator of the Emperor's Path wanted to deal with her and Long Yu, they could easily do so. Why would they need to resort to schemes?
Looking at the expression of the Princess of Ruoshui, it seemed that she had something to ask. This was probably the main reason why the Princess of Ruoshui had come to greet the two of them.
"Not long ago, Lady Yu Hanxin and Emperor Tianqin had a great battle. It seems that Emperor Tianqin was injured. Is this true?"
When the Princess of Ruoshui asked this question, there was a look of anticipation in her eyes.
"She did say that Emperor Tianqin was seriously injured. When I went to the Tianqin Dynasty with her a while ago, Emperor Tianqin did not show up. The matter of him being injured should be true."
Long Yu said in a low voice.
He was not clear about Emperor Tianqin's situation, so he could only use what Yu Hanxin had said.
"What a pity."
When the Princess of Ruoshui heard this, she shook her head with some regret. "Emperor Tianqin is extremely arrogant. During the last Martial God Conference, he actually had ill intentions towards my sister. I really want to see his death come soon …"
When Long Yu and Shu Chan heard this, they immediately understood the purpose of the Princess of Ruoshui. It turned out that she was trying to find out about Emperor Tianqin's situation. She seemed to have a lot of hatred for Emperor Tianqin.
"The two of you have traveled a long way here. You should rest early. Come with me."
The Princess of Ruoshui shook her head and temporarily put the matter of Emperor Tianqin aside. She then invited Long Yu and Shu Chan to Ruoshui Ice City.
The two of them were looking for a place to stay, so of course they would not refuse. The place arranged by the Princess of Ruoshui was better than the place they could find on their own. Needless to say, the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth was abundant. Most importantly, they would not be disturbed.
Regardless of whether it was cultivating or comprehending, the greatest taboo for a martial cultivator was to be disturbed. So if they randomly found a place to stay in Ruoshui Ice City, they would not be able to cultivate in peace.
For the current Long Yu, training was one aspect. The other aspect was to comprehend the ancient martial skill, Nine Serene Heavenly Light, as soon as possible.
…
Ruoshui Ice City, in the Regional King's Mansion.
Long Yu occupied a room in the courtyard arranged by the Princess of Ruoshui. The sky was beginning to darken. He was prepared to spend the night trying to comprehend the Nine Serene Heavenly Light.
However, the place was not as peaceful as he had imagined.
This courtyard of the Regional King's Mansion was a place used by the Ruoshui prefecture to receive important guests. Aside from Long Yu and Shu Chan, there were many other geniuses from all over the North Snow Empire, as well as aristocrats from other dynasties and empires.
Compared to dynasties like the Tianqin Empire and North Snow Empire, empires were the true strongest forces in Shen Wu world. The Emperor of each empire was a Emperor realm cultivator who had reached the peak of the Emperor realm. Even Yu Hanxin couldn't do anything in front of an Emperor realm cultivator.
Before this, Long Yu had never come into contact with any of the empires in Shen Wu world.
But after arriving at the Ruoshui palace, he found that the aristocrats and young geniuses from the empires all had their eyes on the top of their heads and were extremely arrogant.
At this time, it was the day that the North Snow Empire's Icy Lotus Fruit was about to ripen, so it attracted many young geniuses from the surrounding empires to come and bid for the Icy Lotus Fruit.
At the same time, they also heard that Royal Princess Ruoshui was a peerless beauty, so they came to Ruoshui prefecture before the auction for the Icy Lotus Fruit started. They wanted to see her face, and if they really liked Royal Princess Ruoshui, they even wanted to take her back to the empire and make her their woman!
As soon as Long Yu arrived at the Regional King's Mansion, the first thing he saw was such a scene.
Quite a few young martial cultivators dressed in luxurious robes, and it was obvious that they had several Desolate Grade War Weapons on them. They were currently arguing in the courtyard, saying that if they wanted Monarch Ruoshui to be their woman, they would have to give up on Monarch Ruoshui if they wanted the Cold Lotus Fruit …
Long Yu didn't pay any attention to them. In reality, these young cultivators were all much stronger than him. Even if they weren't, they were all peak seven Thaumaturgy realm cultivators, and some of them had even reached the Emperor realm, just like the Tianqin Empire's Sixth Prince.
Facing these arrogant people, even if Long Yu wanted to intervene, it would be useless.
These were super geniuses from the surrounding enemy empires. Not only were they talented, but they also had cultivation resources that far surpassed normal people, as well as powerful backers!
Not to mention Long Yu, even Royal Princess Ruoshui, Yu Hanxin, and the North Snow Emperor wouldn't dare to provoke these people.
Long Yu didn't pay any attention to these people, and instead prepared to comprehend and cultivate his own martial skills.
