The Heavenly Soul Grass was rare in the world, and finding one was already heaven-defying. Wutian naturally had no objections.
After a little consideration, Little Wu Hao steered the Star Realm and slipped into the courtyard without anyone noticing.
Immediately, a spirit essence that shone with a myriad of multicolored lights entered the scene.
This object was shaped like a ganoderma, and its two dark yellow leaves were the size of a baby's palm. It gushed with multicolored light and was filled with astonishing spirituality.
Wutian said in surprise, "This is the Heavenly Soul Grass?"
Little Wu Hao's eyes lit up and she nodded. "It is indeed it. And look, beside the two leaves, there is a stem. The marks on the top are also brand new. It was obviously plucked by the Sea Spirit Patriarch not long ago. He is probably saving Nie Qiuyu now. "
Wutian asked, "In other words, there is no one in this pavilion?"
Little Wuhao chuckled and said, "That's right. Now is the best opportunity. However, I can feel the presence of a seal around the Heavenly Soul Grass. So, you have to go out personally. You cannot make any noise."
Wutian nodded and restrained his aura to the extreme. His figure flashed and appeared in the courtyard.
He was not in the mood to pay attention to the situation around him. He bit his finger and touched the void in front of him. He immediately felt that he had touched an invisible barrier.
Then, a ten-foot-wide barrier appeared, and at the place where his finger touched, a door quickly opened.
At this moment, Wutian's pupils shrank, and a trace of lingering fear appeared in his eyes.
When he tested the power of the third stage of bloodline power, the seal that Bai Sha had set up had exploded, and the destructive power that was born was still vivid in his mind.
Moreover, the seal here must have been set up by the Sea Spirit Patriarch. He was a second tribulation Divine Spirit. If the seal exploded, everything within a radius of millions of miles would be razed to the ground in an instant.
So, when the door opened, Wutian decisively stopped.
At the same time, his third eye opened, and a milky light gushed out and poured into the door. Then, the Heavenly Soul Grass and the surrounding soil were sucked into the Star Realm.
The entire process happened in an instant. It was smooth and without any delay.
With a thought, Wutian appeared in the Star Realm.
When he turned around, he saw Little Wu Hao sizing up the Heavenly Soul Grass with green eyes.
Wutian shook his head and said, "I'll take my time later. Take me to Nie Yufeng first."
"Alright."
Little Wu Hao chuckled. In any case, she'd already obtained the Heavenly Soul Herb, so it wouldn't be too late to slowly study it in the future. So, she controlled the Star Realm to flash towards the third last pavilion.
Soon, the two of them appeared in the parlor of the pavilion.
Little Wu Hao frowned and asked, "Where is Nie Yufeng?"
Wutian pointed to the center of the room and said, "There is a chamber below. It is the cave dwelling of the Sea Spirit Race's Old Ancestor. Nie Yufeng is inside."
Little Wu Hao looked carefully and found a crack on the ground. She thought for a moment and said, "In order to avoid alerting the enemy, we'll wait here for news from An Ying and the others."
Wutian shook his head and said, "No, time is of the essence. We must sneak in first."
Little Wu Hao frowned and said, "What if we alert the Old Ancestor here?"
Wutian smiled and said, "From Nie Yuzhan's memory, this person's secret chamber is sealed and tens of thousands of feet away from the ground. As long as we don't make too much noise, we won't alarm him."
Little Wu Hao said, "Then let's hurry up and find the mechanism."
Wutian nodded and his figure flickered and appeared in the parlor.
He looked around and carefully scanned the ground. Finally, his eyes lit up and he moved three steps to the left. Then, he bent down and gently knocked on the ground. Immediately, an empty echo was heard.
"It's here."
A trace of joy appeared on Wutian's face. He turned his hand and pressed it on the ground. With a slight force, the originally seamless ground quickly sank and a seven-inch groove appeared.
Immediately, the ground in the center of the parlor silently cracked open, revealing a bright passage.
Then, Wutian took a big stride and entered the passage.
"Who are you?"
But at this moment, a hoarse voice sounded from behind.
Wutian's body stiffened and he slowly looked back. He saw an old man in black standing next to the entrance. His strength was unfathomable and he was staring at him coldly.
After reading Nie Yuzhan's memory, he recognized at a glance that this person was the second elder of the Sea Spirit Clan.
But why did he suddenly appear here?
In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Wutian's mind. Suddenly, he thought of a plan and respectfully bowed, "Nie Hai greets the second elder."
"Nie Hai?"
The second elder sized up Wutian and asked, "Why did you barge into the old ancestor's residence? How did you know about the mechanism at the entrance? What are your intentions? Hurry up and tell me the truth. "
"Second elder, I …"
Wutian's face instantly turned pale, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.
The second elder said, "If you have something to say, just say it. As long as it's reasonable, I'll let bygones be bygones. But if you dare to lie, I'll kill you without mercy!"
"Second elder, I … I …"
Wutian stammered and couldn't say anything for a long time.
"Hurry up and say it!"
The second elder's face turned cold and murderous intent rose in his eyes.
Wutian trembled and hurriedly said, "Second elder, don't kill me. I'll tell you everything. I'm actually here for Yufeng."
"For Yufeng?"
The second elder was slightly stunned and his expression softened. "Speak clearly."
Wutian said with a disappointed expression, "I've been in love with Yufeng for many years. But because I'm weak and have a lowly status, I've never dared to publicize our relationship. This time, Yufeng is in seclusion and I truly can't bear the pain of missing her. That's why I secretly came to see her."
At this point, Wutian bowed and said in a panic, "Second elder, I truly don't have any ill intentions. Please understand."
"You're in love with Yufeng?"
A strange expression crept onto the second elder's face. "Yufeng is talented and intelligent. Why would she fancy you?"
Wutian sighed deeply and said, "During the period when Yufeng was in seclusion, I've thought about it carefully. Given my status, I'm not worthy of her. So, after I see her, I plan to leave Star Sea City and wander the outside world. "
"Second elder, everything I say is true. If you don't believe me, you can search my soul. You can also call Big Brother Yuzhan over to confront him. This is because he knows everything about me and Yufeng. Moreover, the location of Yufeng's seclusion and the mechanisms at the entrance were all told to me by him."
Although it was an act, Wutian's face was filled with pain and helplessness, as well as reluctance. The second elder couldn't see any trace of deceit.
"There's no need to search your soul. If I kill you, won't Yufeng blame me? But … "
The second elder shook his head and sighed. "Nie Hai, you know your own limits. With your current strength and status, even if Yufeng is willing, the Patriarch will not agree to the two of you being together. As I see it, you shouldn't go see Yufeng. I won't tell the Patriarch about this either. You should go and wander the outside world. Once you become a pillar of the Sea Spirit Clan, you can come and ask for the Patriarch's hand in marriage."
Wutian timidly said, "But, but I really want to see Yufeng. Second elder, can you make an exception …"
"I can't."
Without waiting for him to finish, the second elder waved his hand and said, "Yufeng is at a critical juncture in her seclusion. She cannot be disturbed. Moreover, the Old Ancestor loves Yufeng very much. If he learns of your relationship with Yufeng, let alone me, even if Yufeng personally pleads for you, she won't be able to save your life."
Wutian turned his head and looked towards the end of the passage. It was as if he was truly going to be separated by life and death. His eyes were filled with pain and reluctance. Then, he deeply sighed and bowed to the second elder. Then, he walked out of the passage and left in a daze.
"Do you think Yufeng is someone you can associate with? You really don't know the immensity of heaven and earth. "
The second elder shook his head in disdain. He retracted his gaze and strode into the passage, disappearing from sight.
However, he didn't know that when he entered the passage, Wutian directly entered the Star Realm with a thought. Then, just as the entrance was about to close, Little Wu Hao controlled the Star Realm and quickly rushed in. She secretly followed behind him.
In the Star Realm, Little Wu Hao patted her chest and said with a lingering fear, "To be honest, I was really scared just now. I thought that this plan would definitely be ruined. I didn't think that you would actually come up with such a lousy excuse at the last minute. It's a waste of your talent if you don't go into acting."
Wutian pursed his lips into a bitter smile and asked, "How many breaths have passed?"
Little Wu Hao didn't even think about it and said, "Fifteen breaths."
"There are still fifteen breaths left. The little fellow and the others have to speed up!"
Wutian's face couldn't help but reveal a trace of worry.
After two breaths, the two followed the second elder to the end of the passage. A dark stone door entered their sight.
The second elder bowed and said, "Third Ancestor, your unfilial grandson, Nie Huo, requests an audience."
"What's the matter?"
A low voice immediately came from behind the stone door.
Nie Huo said, "The clan leader and I are preparing to repair Qiu Yu's soul, but we're afraid that something unexpected will happen, so we'd like to invite Third Ancestor to come out of seclusion to protect us."
As soon as he finished speaking, the stone door silently opened, revealing a stone room about ten feet wide.
There were no decorations inside, only two ancient praying mats with a man and a woman sitting on them.
The man was a middle-aged man with a stocky back and a bear-like waist. He was extremely burly.
The woman had an exquisite figure and wore a water-blue dress that was spotless. Her facial features were exquisite and her skin was as white as snow. She could be considered a peerless beauty.
She must be Nie Yufeng.
Nie Huo glanced at Nie Yufeng and bowed. "Greetings, Third Ancestor."
The middle-aged man nodded slightly and said a few words to Nie Yufeng. He then got up and walked out of the stone room. "Let's go!"
"Yes."
Nie Huo responded respectfully and took a step back, giving way to the side.
The middle-aged man waved his hand and the stone door slowly closed. Then, he took a step and disappeared without a trace. Nie Huo followed closely behind.
After watching the two of them leave, Wutian turned to stare at the stone door that hadn't closed yet and said, "This is a good opportunity. Little Wu Hao, go in quickly. Bai Sha, come here. "
Little Wu Hao seized the opportunity and controlled the Star Realm to rush into the stone room.
At the same time, Bai Sha appeared at the peak of the divine tree and asked, "What do you want me to do?"
