Since that was the case, it wasn't surprising that Shu Hua knew his purpose. She probably wanted to discuss some conditions with him.
Zhou Yang couldn't help but smile and said, "I wonder what is the condition to enter the Princess Pavilion?"
"Condition … Let me think about it!"
Shu Hua pondered for a while and said, "It's true that no one has cleaned the Princess Pavilion for a long time. It's not impossible for you to help me clean it, but …"
Then, Shu Hua looked at Qi Xiu and Yin Yao.
Although the women were curious, they weren't fools. Under Shu Hua's gaze, they cupped their hands and left the hall.
"Mistress, a straightforward person doesn't beat around the bush. What do you want Zhou Yang to do? Just say it." Zhou Yang smiled.
"You're so smart. Why don't you guess what I want you to do?"
Zhou Yang thought for a while and frowned, "Is it related to Yue Wu?"
"You're smart. Yes, it's related to Yue Wu. In a few days, Yue Wu will return to the Southern King's City with Jian Wuhen. What do you plan to do?" Shu Hua asked.
"I'll do whatever I need to do."
"Zhou Yang, I have to remind you that if you treat Yue Wu sincerely, don't let her down. If you only treat her as a scenery on the road of cultivation, then stay away from her and never see her again. Do you understand?"
Zhou Yang didn't say anything. This was a choice he had to make because it was related to Yue Wu's life …
"I understand …"
"Yue Wu is my most outstanding disciple and I owe a debt of gratitude to the Tang family. If you make a choice and go back on it, I won't let you go even if you're Su Xin's disciple." Shu Hua's face turned cold.
"Disciple … understands!"
Zhou Yang cupped his hands.
"Go out and turn left. The Princess Pavilion is there. Go by yourself." Shu Hua turned and walked into the inner hall.
"Zhou Yang, follow me. I'll take you to the Princess Pavilion."
Just as Shu Hua left, a middle-aged woman walked in. Zhou Yang felt that this woman was similar to Yin Yao at first glance.
"Senior, are you Elder Yun?"
"That's right. I'm Yin Yao's mother. She likes you very much. But this is between you young people. I won't force you. Let's go."
Zhou Yang nodded and followed Elder Yun to a huge jade-white palace.
Creak …
The door seemed to have been sealed for a long time. After pushing it open, a desolate aura spread out from within the hall.
After walking into the hall, Zhou Yang found that the hall was very spacious. There was only a statue of a woman standing right above, but the strange thing was that the statue did not have a face …
"Why …"
"Why don't we face each other?" Elder Yun smiled.
"Please enlighten me, Elder."
Elder Yun shook his head and said, "There is nothing that cannot be solved. Those who can see her face will naturally be able to see it, those who cannot see it will never be able to see it."
"Then who is this statue?"
"She was the last princess of the Zhou Dynasty that dominated the continent a thousand years ago. The people of later generations called her the Princess. I'm sure you've heard of her deeds." Elder Yun's words were shocking.
Zhou Yang couldn't help but look at the statue again, his heart filled with emotions.
A thousand years ago, the continent didn't have the Three Great Kingdoms nor the Land of Chaos. Back then, the entire continent belonged to the Great Zhou Dynasty.
It was said that the Zhou Dynasty had a history of 10,000 years and was extremely powerful. During its golden age, it was said that even the guards of the imperial city were martial artists at the Disha Realm and above.
However, that was already a legend. There were only a few lines of records about the Zhou Dynasty in the current ancient books. No one knew how it was destroyed.
However, there were many stories about the Princess.
He remembered that when he was very young, his father had told him that the reason Great Emperor Zhenwu could become the number one expert on the continent was because he had obtained the dynasty's treasure. This treasure was told to him by the Princess. There were even rumors that Great Emperor Zhenwu and the Princess were husband and wife.
"It is said that the Princess is the last descendant of the Zhou Dynasty's royal family. She carries the secret of the Zhou Dynasty's treasure. During the Age of Chaos 500 years ago, almost everyone was searching for the Princess's whereabouts until Great Emperor Zhenwu fell," Elder Yun said in a low voice.
"In that case, the inheritance and treasure left behind by Great Emperor Zhenwu are actually the Zhou Dynasty's treasure. So people are no longer looking for the Princess but for the inheritance left behind by the Great Emperor …"
"This is the greatest secret on the continent. No one knows the truth, but most people think that the inheritance of Great Emperor Zhenwu might only be a part of the dynasty's treasure. However, there's no doubt that only by finding the inheritance left behind by the Great Emperor can the other treasures of the dynasty be found."
Zhou Yang nodded and then asked, "Then who made this statue?"
"The first Palace Lord of the Mirror Lake Palace." Elder Yun then turned and left.
"The first Palace Lord …"
Zhou Yang carefully recalled the information about the first Palace Lord of the Mirror Lake Palace.
"So the legend is true. The first Palace Lord of the Mirror Lake Palace is really a descendant of the Zhou Dynasty's palace lady."
Zhou Yang looked at the statue and could not calm down for a long time.
A dynasty that had been passed down for 10,000 years. How powerful was that?
"10,000 years is nothing. Since ancient times, our Dragon Clan has been around for more than 100,000 years. God knows how many human dynasties have been destroyed," Greedy Soul said in disdain.
"Does that mean you know the secret of the Great Zhou Dynasty's destruction?" Zhou Yang asked happily.
"Of course I do, but the dragon souls are incomplete. I'm afraid only by gathering all nine dragon souls and obtaining all the inheritance memories can we find out about such a secret," Greedy Soul said with a smile.
"That's as good as not saying anything." Zhou Yang shook his head and looked at the other parts of the main hall. There was nothing in the surroundings.
"You don't have to look anymore. The way to master the King's Power is on the statue," Greedy Soul reminded.
"It seems like she's the only one."
He looked at the statue again and this time, he looked at it carefully.
"What's this?"
After a while, Zhou Yang found a small yellow gem on the forehead of the statue.
"The Earth Gem. Zhou Yang, you're in luck," Greedy Soul said with a smile.
Zhou Yang was elated. He was only left with the Earth Gem out of the Five Elemental Gems. As long as he obtained this gem, he would be one step closer to obtaining the Nine-Eyed Star Soul.
However, he was disappointed because he could not remove the gem.
"This is strange. The face clearly has a contour, but why can't I see the face?"
Zhou Yang's finger brushed across the face of the statue. He even felt the nose on the face of the statue, but it was as smooth as jade.
"Discerning Eyes."
He immediately activated the Discerning Eyes. Unfortunately, the statue was still a statue. There was nothing different.
After a long while, Zhou Yang took a deep breath and sat cross-legged.
He knew that some things could not be seen with the naked eye. He had to use the Mind's Eye.
Sensing the existence of the statue, he focused all his consciousness and thoughts on the statue. Everything else was thrown to the back of his mind.
"Ding …"
The soft sound of wind chimes rang in Zhou Yang's ears. Zhou Yang opened his eyes instinctively, but there was nothing around him. The sound of the wind chimes also disappeared.
"This sound …"
Zhou Yang was overjoyed and closed his eyes again.
After a while, the wind chimes rang again, followed by the laughter of a girl. Zhou Yang seemed to see a girl with a string of wind chimes on her waist running on the grass.
