Ye Futian was a little hesitant. He stared into Xi Chiyao's eyes and saw that she was calm and smiling, which made people feel very comfortable.
The West Imperial Palace was the overlord of the West Sea Region, with countless years of history and unfathomable resources. Ye Futian guessed that the West Imperial Palace was definitely stronger than the Domain Chief's Manor of the West Sea Region, and not just by a little. The West Sea Prefecture Chief had always wanted to shake the position of the West Imperial Palace, but it was actually very difficult.
Nowadays, the Ancient God Clan would not easily reveal all of their resources.
If he entered the West Imperial Palace, even if he was skilled in the Divine Feet, if the West Imperial Palace had evil intentions towards him, he would not be able to escape. Even if he trusted Xi Chiyao, he could not completely trust the cultivators of the West Imperial Palace.
Even if Xi Chiyao did not have evil intentions, what if the people at the helm of the West Imperial Palace had other ideas?
The consequences would be fatal.
After all, the West Imperial Palace was still a force of the Divine Prefecture, and with the inheritance of the Great Emperor in him, he could not be sure that some people at the West Imperial Palace would not have other ideas.
"Goddess Chiyao, thank you for your kindness, and I naturally trust you. Therefore, I am willing to make a copy of the Immortal Map and send it to the West Imperial Palace. Goddess Chiyao, you can take it back to the West Imperial Palace and find the location of the Ancient Emperor Immortal Mountain. I still have some things to do in Jiuyuan City, so I will not go," Ye Futian said.
Now, his safety was not only related to himself, but to the entire Ziwei Segmentum. If something happened to him, the Ziwei Segmentum would be crushed, and all his family and friends would be destroyed. This was something he could not accept.
Therefore, no matter what, his safety must be the first priority.
Xi Chiyao was a smart person, and she naturally understood what Ye Futian was thinking. She smiled and said, "Very well, I will also stay in Jiuyuan City with you. If there is anything you need help with, I may be able to help. I will order people to send the Immortal Map to the West Imperial Palace, find out the location of the Ancient Emperor Immortal Mountain, and then we will go together."
"Thank you, Goddess Chiyao," Ye Futian said.
"Since we are allies, this is not only a matter of Emperor Ye, but also a matter of the West Imperial Palace," Xi Chiyao said. Ye Futian did not say much, but said, "I will go and make a copy of the Immortal Map. Goddess Chiyao, please wait a moment."
"Alright." Xi Chiyao nodded.
After that, Ye Futian's silhouette disappeared from where he was. The Immortal Seeking Diagram itself was the key. Even if he gave a copy of the Immortal Seeking Diagram to the West Imperial Palace, it wouldn't matter. Moreover, since both parties were in an alliance, this was something that he should do. He also needed to use the West Imperial Palace to find out the exact location of the Ancient Emperor Immortal Mountain.
Xi Chiyao stood on the mountain peak and waited quietly. The old man behind her said, "It seems that he still doesn't trust you."
"If it were you, would you trust him?" Xi Chiyao replied with a smile, "The world of cultivation is full of deceit and treachery, and people's hearts are unpredictable. He possesses the inheritance of several Great Emperors, and I don't know how many people in the Divine Prefecture want to plot against him, whether openly or secretly. He also carries the fate of Ziwei Segmentum on his shoulders, so how can he easily put himself in danger?"
The old man nodded. "You're right. With his talent, inheritance, and treasures, as well as the Immortal Seeking Diagram, even I would be tempted. It's normal that he doesn't believe me."
"Humans are greedy." Xi Chiyao said, "So am I. It's just that compared to greed for his present, I am more greedy for his future. Instead of taking everything from him, why not become friends and help him grow?"
The old man nodded. Such foresight was not something that ordinary people could have. There was naturally a reason why Xi Chiyao was chosen as the heir of the Ancient God Clan.
Not long after, Ye Futian returned and engraved the copied Immortal Seeking Diagram into a jade scroll. He handed it to Xi Chiyao and said, "Goddess Chiyao, please send it to the West Imperial Palace as soon as possible. I'm worried that things might change if we delay."
"Alright." Xi Chiyao nodded and handed it over to someone behind her. Then, several people set off and flew away, leaving this place.
"Emperor Ye, let's go for a walk and see if we can find anything good?" Xi Chiyao invited Ye Futian.
"Sure." Ye Futian nodded. The two of them stepped forward and headed for the trading area of Jiuyan City.
In the next few days, Ye Futian looked for some things he needed in Jiuyan City, mainly for alchemy. As for the other treasures, he was not interested in most of them. After all, he had inherited the legacies of several Great Emperors. There were too few things that could catch his eye, such as cultivation methods and magical powers. Moreover, they basically would not appear in Jiuyan City.
In addition, there were also undercurrents surging in Jiuyan City. Many cultivators from the Western Sea Domain and the Southern Sea Domain had been keeping an eye on Jiuyan City and the Breeze Pavilion. These days, the Breeze Pavilion had been under great pressure.
At this time, in a courtyard of the Breeze Pavilion, there were many cultivators here. The person in the lead was Li Qingfeng, but the other cultivators all had strong auras and were unfathomable.
"When do you plan to give us an explanation, Pavilion Master?" someone asked. His tone was unfriendly and carried a hint of threat.
The others also released their auras, which landed on Li Qingfeng's body.
Li Qingfeng's expression was cold. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Three days. Within three days, I will give you all an explanation."
"Alright, if that's the case, we will wait for another three days." The person who spoke flicked his sleeves and left. The others also disappeared in a flash and soon disappeared without a trace.
Li Qingfeng stood in the courtyard. His eyes were cold as he looked into the distance. Many people came in and bowed to him.
"Is there any news?" Li Qingfeng asked.
"Pavilion Master, there is no news about him," someone replied.
Li Qingfeng's expression became even more gloomy. These days, he had been waiting for news from the Wooden Daoist. But after he let the Wooden Daoist go, there was no news from him at all. It was as if he had completely disappeared.
These few days were enough for the Wooden Daoist to retrieve the Immortal Seeking Diagram and find him. But the Wooden Daoist did not. Clearly, the Wooden Daoist wanted to take the Immortal Seeking Diagram for himself.
"Wait a little longer." Li Qingfeng snorted coldly. His expression was extremely ugly. If the Wooden Daoist wanted to crack the secret of the Immortal Seeking Diagram for himself, then no one would be able to get it.
…
Three days later, a shocking piece of news came out of Jiuyan City. The Breeze Pavilion would publicly auction the copy of the Immortal Seeking Diagram. At the same time, there was also news that the real Immortal Seeking Diagram had been stolen by the Wooden Daoist.
As soon as this news came out, it shocked the entire Jiuyan City. This was the first time that the Breeze Pavilion publicly acknowledged the existence of the Immortal Seeking Diagram and made everything public. The Wooden Daoist had stolen the original Immortal Seeking Diagram. Now, only the copy and the geographical location recorded in the Immortal Seeking Diagram remained.
Countless cultivators rushed to Jiuyan City. Almost all the powerful alchemy masters of the West Sea came to Jiuyan City. It was a grand occasion.
The existence of the Immortal Seeking Diagram was related to the alchemy inheritance of the Great Emperor level. One could imagine how attractive it was to the alchemy masters. Nowadays, there were almost no top alchemy masters in the Divine Prefecture.
Ye Futian and Xi Chiyao quickly received the news, but Ye Futian was not surprised. The reason why he quickly found Xi Chiyao and made a copy of the Immortal Seeking Diagram for her to bring back to the West Imperial Palace was because he was worried that something like this would happen.
Other than being the key to opening the Spirit Mountain, the Immortal Seeking Diagram was also a map. If he could make a copy of this map, then Li Qingfeng could as well. Once Li Qingfeng was under pressure and could not find the Wooden Daoist, he might make it public.
Now, it really happened.
But fortunately, the original copy of the Immortal Seeking Diagram was still in his hands.
"Do you want to go to the Breeze Pavilion to take a look?" Xi Chiyao asked Ye Futian. At this moment, the auction of the Immortal Seeking Diagram had already begun. Almost all the cultivators in Jiuyan City had rushed to the Breeze Pavilion. Looking at the Breeze Pavilion from here, there was a sea of people. At a glance, from the Breeze Pavilion to the bottom, the mountain path was full of cultivators, and there were also many powerful Renhuangs in the void.
"There is no point," Ye Futian said to Ye Futian. "Since Li Qingfeng has decided to make it public, then he will definitely find a way to maximize the profits. Although this Immortal Seeking Diagram is being auctioned, I am afraid there will be more than one copy."
"Indeed." Xi Chiyao nodded. Auctioning one copy would also be exposed to the public, and there was no way to hide it. Auctioning more copies would be the same. In that case, why not maximize the profits?
"Moreover, for those top forces in the dark, they certainly do not need to obtain the Immortal Seeking Diagram through the auction. Li Qingfeng may use them to decipher the location of the Immortal Seeking Diagram together." Ye Futian continued, "Therefore, we need to hurry."
Xi Chiyao nodded slightly and said, "I have sent word back to ask them to hurry up. The West Imperial Palace has already searched for sea maps of different eras, and now they have locked onto some targets. The results should be out soon."
"Well, I hope we can be ahead of the others." Ye Futian nodded slightly. Although he controlled the original copy of the Immortal Seeking Diagram and had the key to opening the Ancient Emperor Immortal Mountain, if the location was deciphered and made public, cultivators from all sides would arrive. Unless he never opened it, otherwise, once he did, he would face the plunder of cultivators from all sides, and it was possible that his efforts would go to someone else.
Just as Ye Futian had guessed, while the Breeze Pavilion was auctioning the copy of the Immortal Seeking Diagram, in the courtyard of the Breeze Pavilion, there were many cultivators from top forces here, and they all obtained a copy of the Immortal Seeking Diagram together.
Li Qingfeng looked at them and said, "Everyone, after Priest Mu heard the news, he will definitely find a way to decipher the map as soon as possible. Moreover, so far, the forces of the West Imperial Palace have not come to find me. I suspect that Priest Mu may have asked for help from the West Imperial Palace. In this way, it may not take long for them to decipher the location of the Immortal Seeking Diagram. Therefore, at this critical juncture, I hope that everyone will not hide and harbor ulterior motives, but work together and use all kinds of resources to decipher the mystery of the Immortal Seeking Diagram. Only then can we find the location of the Ancient Emperor Immortal Mountain before Priest Mu and wait there. In this way, no matter who Priest Mu cooperates with, he will not be able to monopolize the secret of the Ancient Emperor Immortal Mountain."
"If you knew this would happen, what were you doing before?" someone said coldly.
"Now is not the time to complain. Li Qingfeng is right. Let's work together. Since the West Imperial Palace has not appeared, I also suspect that Priest Mu might have found the West Imperial Palace," an elder said. The West Imperial Palace was the overlord of the West Sea Region, and they had the advantage of time and place. They had to work together!
