Hai Ruyue and Ming Ming both understood this and knew that cultivating at this time was beneficial to them. Even so, they still put protecting Qi Yue as their top priority. Qi Yue was at his weakest now.
Qi Yue slept until noon the next day before he woke up. The full night's sleep had restored a lot of his overdrawn potential, and his physical condition was at least 50% of what it used to be. As soon as Qi Yue woke up, he found that his Thundercloud Force and Water Thundercloud Force had greatly improved. The energy of one of the remaining eight Blue Sea Thunder Beads in his body had greatly decreased. Its energy was almost completely consumed, and it was obviously absorbed by his body. After a day's sleep, his two Thundercloud Force had been pushed to the fifth cloud realm. The advancement of one cloud meant that his overall strength had been doubled. His Thundercloud Force and Water Thundercloud Force had also soared. Even he didn't know what effect these two Thundercloud Force could have.
It was Hai Ruyue who found out that Qi Yue had woken up. When she felt that the Thundercloud Force she obtained had decreased, she knew that Qi Yue had woken up. She controlled her own Thundercloud Force to quickly complete a cloud cycle and opened her eyes. Full of concern, she said, "You're awake!"
"Yes!" These three short words made Qi Yue feel warm. This was not the Tyrannosaurus Rex of the past, but a kind wife and loving mother. However, Qi Yue didn't have time to think about this. This was because he suddenly discovered a very big danger signal. This danger came from Ming Ming. Through their telepathic connection, he felt that he had woken up at a very bad time. Ming Ming's Ascending Cloud Method was affected by his Kirin's aura and Kirin's bloodline. It actually made a breakthrough in a short period of time, and it just so happened that it was the critical moment to advance to the fifth cloud. He woke up, and Kirin's aura weakened automatically to support her cultivation. At that moment, Ming Ming's state of mind fluctuated, and the originally orderly Thundercloud Force was disrupted. Although Ming Ming seemed to be fine, Qi Yue, who was connected to her aura, naturally understood her current situation. He didn't have time to say anything to Hai Ruyue. He immediately jumped up, landed behind Ming Ming, and pressed his palms on her shoulders.
Hai Ruyue was shocked by Qi Yue's actions, but it was only a momentary shock. Although she didn't have telepathic connection with Ming Ming, she immediately understood the situation from Qi Yue's anxiety and energy output.
A four-colored light was emitted from Qi Yue's body along with a powerful aura, wrapping Ming Ming's body like a large cocoon. At this moment, his eyes became a strange black and silver. Kirin's silhouette floated out from behind him, and a powerful Kirin's aura instantly filled the entire room.
Qi Yue of the fourth cloud was already comparable to Hai Ruyue of the sixth cloud, who had two element mutations. Naturally, he was much stronger than Ming Ming, who was about to advance to the fifth cloud realm. Under the effect of his pure Kirin Thundercloud Force, Ming Ming's slightly scattered Thundercloud Force was forcefully retracted back into her meridians. Although the advancement of the Thundercloud Force depended on one's own cultivation, with Qi Yue's assistance, Ming Ming could break through without any worries. Moreover, there was the amplification effect of Kirin's aura. Ming Ming, who had reached the critical point, trembled slightly. Almost in an instant, her delicate body emitted a layer of beautiful seven-colored light. Although she didn't enter the state of mutation, her short hair was already dyed seven-colored, and the golden light surrounding the seven-colored light was even stronger than before.
After the Thundercloud Force erupted, it immediately retracted. Qi Yue's eyes shone brightly, and he shouted, "Appear!"
Ming Ming only felt that the meridians in her body seemed to have disappeared in an instant. A huge amount of energy of various attributes rushed into her body, and the Thundercloud Force instantly condensed to an unprecedented height. Although the amount of Thundercloud Force didn't change, it had already advanced to the fifth cloud realm.
Letting out a long breath, Qi Yue slowly retracted his Thundercloud Force into his body. The light in his eyes returned to normal. He smiled and said to Ruyue, "That was close. Fortunately, I discovered it early. Otherwise, Ming Ming might have gone berserk."
Looking at Ming Ming who had calmed down and continued to cultivate, Ruyue said, "I didn't expect her to improve so quickly. Qi Yue, how is your body? The master said that you overexerted your potential to improve your strength to a higher level. I know you are eager to get stronger, but don't do this in the future. Although I don't know how Kirin's cultivation method is, it's not good to go against the laws of nature. "
Qi Yue nodded and said, "I also didn't expect Kirin's Ascending Cloud Technique to be so overbearing. Don't worry, my body condition has already recovered to a certain extent. When we move with those guys from the Vatican, I should be able to recover."
Ruyue nodded gently and said, "Do you want to eat something?"
Qi Yue laughed and said, "Of course. I found that in order to recover my potential, besides resting, eating is very important. Let's go. You guys have been guarding me and haven't eaten. Ming Ming has just reached the Five Clouds Realm and still needs to cultivate for a period of time to accumulate Thundercloud Force. My aura is closely connected to hers, so if there's a problem, I will be able to detect it immediately. Let's have lunch in the afternoon."
Qi Yue had just eaten a delicious meal that was enough for ten people when he received a call from Le Yuan.
"Hello, Mr. Qi."
Qi Yue said, "It seems that our agreed time is tomorrow. You're calling a little too early. "
Le Yuan smiled and said, "It's better than late, isn't it? How are the preparations on Mr. Qi's side? "
Qi Yue glanced at Ruyue beside him and said, "We have nothing to prepare here. We can leave at any time. What about you?"
Le Yuan seemed to think for a moment before replying, "How about this, Mr. Qi, let's meet now. I will tell you what we know in detail. The departure time is still set for tomorrow."
Qi Yue said, "Okay, tell me the location." Although the cooperation with the Vatican was beneficial for the time being, for him, what he wanted to know the real purpose of those westerners coming to Yanhuang was the most.
Le Yuan said a coffee shop in the downtown area of the capital city and hung up the phone.
Ruyue asked, "What did he say?"
Qi Yue said, "He asked me to meet. You should go with me. Oh, right, let Xu Dong protect Ming Ming."
All the Zodiac Guardian Warriors were training in the Dragon Field Courtyard since the battle with the Covenant of Darkness. Everyone had the same idea as Qi Yue. Only true strength was the most important, so they were all training in their own rooms. Even Hu Guang and Yi An stayed in the Dragon Field Courtyard. The teaching affairs of the Sacred Flame Sect were already on the right track. For them, leaving for half a month was not a problem. Although they had just joined the ranks of the Zodiac Guardian Warriors, they did not have much sense of justice. However, their xenophobic mentality was very strong. These two guys always wanted to see the world in chaos. This time, when the westerners came to Yanhuang, they could not wait to fight. Therefore, they did not consider anything at all. Yesterday, they agreed to let Master Zagrú stay and participate in this operation.
Ruyue drove her Lamborghini and Qi Yue to the city very quickly. When they arrived at the door of the coffee shop, they immediately attracted the attention of many passers-by. Of course, Qi Yue was the kind of person who was automatically filtered. Ruyue and her Lamborghini were the standard beauties. It would be strange if they did not attract attention. However, no one dared to come up and strike up a conversation. After all, other than Qi Yue, Ruyue's coldness was not something that anyone could withstand.
Le Yuan was very punctual. He had already arrived. When he saw Qi Yue and Ruyue walk into the coffee shop, he immediately greeted them. Le Yuan chose a quiet corner. It was just past noon, so the coffee shop was very quiet. It was very suitable for chatting.
Today, Le Yuan was dressed in a relatively casual outfit. He had a handsome face. He had a handsome face and a noble temperament. Qi Yue had to admit that this guy in front of him easily gave people a good feeling.
"Please take a seat. What would you like to drink?" Le Yuan did not seem to be in a hurry at all. He made an elegant gesture and invited the two to take a seat.
Ruyue knew that Qi Yue did not know much about coffee. She said indifferently, "Two cups of mocha."
Qi Yue steadied his mind. He knew that he couldn't show any signs of anxiety at this time, lest the other party see through him. He found a comfortable position to sit on the chair and looked at Le Yuan. He didn't say anything and quietly waited for his coffee to arrive.
Le Yuan had been observing Qi Yue and Ruyue silently since they came to the coffee shop. Qi Yue's calmness made him not see any flaws. He took a sip of the coffee in front of him and said, "Mr. Qi, I have already asked the Vatican. His Holiness the Pope attaches great importance to this matter. After consideration, he confirmed the cooperation between both sides. In fact, the Vatican has never hoped to get anything. We just don't want that holy object to fall into the hands of the Covenant of Darkness or any evil party. In that case, it will even cause harm to the whole society. Therefore, I hope that we can cooperate wholeheartedly this time to get the holy object. As for the ownership of the holy object, we can discuss it after we get it. What do you think? "
Of course, Qi Yue would not easily believe Le Yuan's words. Who didn't know how to say such things? He smiled and said, "It seems that the Vatican thinks the same as us Guardians of the East. We don't really want to get that thing, and we don't want it to be obtained by evil people. Therefore, we are very sincere about this cooperation. His Holiness the Pope got the news through astrology. We also have some information. Since we are going to cooperate, I hope you can tell us the information you have got. In this way, we can better cooperate, right? "
Le Yuan still had a harmless smile on his face. "Of course, that's for sure. I'm here today to tell you the information we know, so that I can go with you tomorrow. "
Qi Yue thought of something and said, "This time the people the Vatican sent are the people I saw that day? In terms of strength, the people you sent seem to be much weaker than the Covenant of Darkness! This should not be the real strength of the Vatican. "
A faint light flashed in Le Yuan's eyes. Qi Yue had been staring at him, so he clearly caught a trace of surprise in his eyes.
"Of course, we are not the only ones. However, because we are westerners, it is not as convenient as you Guardians of the East, so we have already gone to the destination in batches. After all, this is the Yanhuang Republic. If too many of us go together, it is easy to cause misunderstanding. Please forgive us."
Hai Ruyue said coldly, "So, your people have already gone?"
Le Yuan made a helpless gesture and said, "This can't be helped. We have to arrange the itinerary. But you two can rest assured that after we set off for the destination tomorrow, we will soon meet up with our people. After all, the Vatican is not willing to face the other forces with ulterior motives alone, right? "
Qi Yue said indifferently, "I hope you don't lie to us. Otherwise, it will not be good for you. You also said that this is the Yanhuang Republic. No one can be more familiar with our country than us. Now you can tell us everything you know. "
Le Yuan could not help but secretly let out a sigh of relief when he saw that Qi Yue did not flare up. According to the arrangement of the Vatican, the first to arrive at the destination would naturally have more opportunities. At least, he could understand more about the situation. As for the cooperation with the Zodiac Guardian Warriors, he did not think much about it. From any perspective, a temporary cooperation was a wise choice. He thought for a while and said in a low voice, "This matter starts from three years ago."
When Qi Yue and Hai Ruyue heard that they were starting to get into the main topic, they immediately focused their attention. Qi Yue found that there was a faint layer of energy emitting from Le Yuan's body. The energy did not pose any threat to them, but it easily isolated the sound from the three of them.
"Three years ago, the Pope observed the sky and suddenly saw a Star of Destiny rising in the east. Through complicated astrology and the powerful ability of the Pope to communicate with God, he used all kinds of methods, but he still could not see the true position of the Star of Destiny."
"Star of Destiny? What's that? "Qi Yue asked curiously.
Le Yuan said, "The so-called Star of Destiny is a person or a group that can affect the fate of the whole world. It's hard to explain. My astrology skills are really poor, so I can't explain it to you two. I can only tell you that His Majesty the Pope attaches great importance to this Star of Destiny. He once said that this Star of Destiny is related to a huge disaster in the future, and whether humanity can survive it or not. For this Star of Destiny, His Majesty the Pope used astrology to calculate every day, hoping to find it. But after trying for a whole year, he still could not find it accurately. Maybe it's because the energy contained in this Star of Destiny is too great. At that time, His Majesty the Pope once said that the accumulation of history and some things that human beings cannot compete with are very difficult to understand. However, during that year, although His Excellency the Pope did not discover where the rising Star of Destiny was in the east, he discovered a strange phenomenon through astrology. "
Qi Yue and Ruyue exchanged a look. They knew that they were going to get to the point.
Le Yuan continued, "This Star of Destiny has a very great amount of energy. But under the cover of this enormous energy, there is a very strange energy in the east. That energy is very condensed. And it has a very special aura. That aura is called sadness. That sorrowful energy is beyond our imagination. What's even more shocking is that that energy actually contains powerful Holy Power, a very pure Holy Power. Perhaps the two of you have already discovered that the Holy Power of the Vatican leans towards the Light and Fire Attributes. But even the holy power of the twelve holy knights of the Holy Church can't compare with the holy power that is full of sadness. If it's just a pure holy power, it's fine. But according to His Majesty the Pope, this holy power is very absorbable. It should be stored in a tool or a container. It can be said that if anyone of us in the Holy Church absorbs this holy power, our overall energy will be comparable to that of His Majesty the Pope. Therefore, we call this holy power the Sacred Source. "
Qi Yue suddenly interrupted Le Yuan. "If that's the case, what does the Holy Church have to worry about? The holy power that you are talking about can only be absorbed by the people of the Holy Church. If that's the case, why did the Greek Guardians and the Covenant of Darkness get involved? And as far as I know, the other forces don't understand it this way. "
Le Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "That's the problem. If the Sacred Source is just holy power, no matter how powerful it is, I'm afraid that the Holy Church will not risk offending the Yanhuang Republic to come to your country. The key is the sad aura in the Sacred Source. With the help of astrology, His Majesty the Pope calculated that the energy of the Sacred Source will reach its peak soon. Over the past two years, His Holiness the Pope discovered through careful research that although the energy of the Sacred Source is very similar to our Holy Energy, the sorrowful aura within it is also filled with negative emotions. There is intense sadness, and there is also intense hatred. Every stream of energy has become very unpredictable. Therefore, although the energy of the Sacred Source is the holy power that we want the most, the negative aura and absorbability it contains can be absorbed by anyone with special abilities, including the people of the Covenant of Darkness. With the power of the Covenant of Darkness, as long as it is as powerful as the Vampire Prince Klinsmann, he can use the negative aura to transform the energy of the Sacred Source into what he needs. If that happens, I'm afraid that there will be a great demon king that no one can fight against in this world. When that time comes, the situation where we have been suppressing the Covenant of Darkness will change. Therefore, we have to come to your country. Even if we can't get the Sacred Source, we can't let the Sacred Source fall into the hands of the Covenant of Darkness. "
After listening to Le Yuan's words, Qi Yue and Hai Ruyue finally had a general understanding of this holy relic. According to Le Yuan, this time, the major forces came to the Yanhuang Republic for this energy that could be absorbed. On Earth, everything had its own energy, and the arrangement of energy molecules was different. Generally speaking, only the energy molecules in the air could be absorbed, but the energy molecules in the air were too sparse. It was not impossible to become a strong person by absorbing these energy molecules, but it would take a long time. This was also the reason why, during the era of ancient beasts, both divine beasts and ferocious beasts had to cultivate for thousands of years before they could become super strong people. Qi Yue's Kirin's Ascending Cloud Technique actually accelerated the absorption of the energy molecules in the air.
However, it did not mean that the energy of other things was inferior to the air. No matter what, it had its own energy, but the amount that could be absorbed was too little. Although the energy contained in some things could be absorbed, it would also have a great impact on the body. After all, the energy contained in every thing was different, and each had its own special changes. Therefore, the so-called absorbable energy sounded simple, but it was too difficult to find an energy source that could be directly absorbed by the human body.
After listening to Le Yuan's description, Qi Yue could not help but be tempted. Although there was no light attribute among his four types of Thundercloud Force, Le Yuan said that a force like the Vampire Prince Klinsmann could transform and absorb this energy. Since he himself belonged to the dark attribute and could absorb the light attribute, he would definitely be able to do it too. Thinking of this, Qi Yue could not help but feel a little excited. It was impossible to say that he did not want to obtain this so-called Sacred Source. After all, everyone had the desire to become stronger.
"Then did your Pope find the location of the Sacred Source through astrology?" Hai Ruyue asked. Perhaps because Le Yuan looked very sincere, Hai Ruyue's tone was no longer as cold as before.
Le Yuan nodded and said, "His Holiness the Pope's Astrology is very miraculous. Except for the Star of Destiny, which is too ancient to be accurately calculated, other powerful energy bodies can be located in a short period of time. When His Holiness discovered the existence of the Sacred Source, he did not have the intention to send people to the Yanhuang Republic. Not long ago, when he carefully studied and discovered the uncertainty of the Sacred Source energy, he had no choice but to send us! Speaking of which, His Holiness was initially unwilling to send people to search for the Sacred Source. One reason was that the location of the Sacred Source was constantly changing, and it would even hide after a period of time. The other reason was that he did not want to have a conflict with your country's Eastern Guardian. After all, we all exist to protect this world. Although our beliefs are different, we can be said to be like-minded. "
Qi Yue said indifferently, "Very well said. Alright, let's not talk about the information we received. So, where exactly did you find out?" He vaguely guessed that things were not as simple as Le Yuan said. If not for the uncertainty of the Sacred Source's location and its frequent hiding, perhaps the Vatican would have already made a move.
The truth was just as Qi Yue had predicted. After the Vatican discovered the existence of the Sacred Source, they had been preparing to come to Yanhuang to search for it. However, the frequent disappearance of the Sacred Source made things difficult for them. This was because the location of the Sacred Source was different every time, which made it difficult for them to determine its specific location. After three years of research, the Pope finally discovered the pattern of the appearance of the Sacred Source. No matter how strange the time and place of its appearance was, it would stay at a fixed place for a period of time every year. After confirming this period of time, the Vatican had sent people to the Yanhuang Republic, hoping to bring it back.
Le Yuan sighed and said, "I'm not afraid that the two of you will not be able to digest the information about the Sacred Source. The main reason why the information about the Sacred Source was leaked was mainly because there was an internal problem. Originally, the existence of the Sacred Source was our internal top secret. However, we did not realize that there was a traitor within the Vatican. He blasphemed against God's blessing and actually turned to the Covenant of Darkness at the most critical moment, revealing this secret. The Covenant of Darkness is a place where people of good and bad mix together. Since they received the news, the spies of various forces in the Covenant of Darkness naturally received it as well. Therefore, the Sun Nation and the Greek Guardian appeared. If not for this, we would not have to go through so much trouble. "
Qi Yue did not ask who the traitor was in the Holy Church. Even if he thought with his toes, he could guess that the traitor was a bishop with high authority in the Holy Church.
"So that's how it is. The Vatican is too careless. You have been fighting with the Covenant of Darkness for so many years, but you did not even know that there was a big spy in the Vatican." Qi Yue said with some disdain.
Le Yuan's expression changed slightly, but he quickly returned to normal. "No one wanted this to happen, but since it has already happened, we can only try our best to make up for the mistakes we have made. We can minimize the losses. The Pope sent us here this time, and the main mission is to prevent the Sacred Source from falling into the hands of the Covenant of Darkness. We will not hesitate to destroy it. "
Hai Ruyue was slightly angry. "Since the Sacred Source has appeared in the Yanhuang Republic, it is the property of Yanhuang. Do you think we can destroy it just because you say so?"
Le Yuan was stunned. "This … This is not something that I can decide. But no matter what, since we are working together, let's get the other greedy people out of the game first. There is still time to argue. "
Le Yuan drank the coffee in his cup. "Let's end our conversation here. When and where do we meet tomorrow?"
Le Yuan said, "Tomorrow morning at 9 o 'clock at Beijing International Airport. I have already booked a flight at 10 o' clock. The flight number is FM 30293. This is a luxurious flight, so there are fewer people on it. You should also book the tickets when you go back. We will meet directly at the airport tomorrow, and I will take you directly to your destination. We will fly directly to Kunming first, and then from there we will transfer to your country's Dali Chongming Temple. "
On the way back to the Dragon Field Courtyard in Ruyue's Lamborghini, Qi Yue was in a good mood. Before they parted, Le Yuan finally revealed the destination of this trip. The aura of the Sacred Source had already appeared, and the specific location was near Yunnan Dali Chongming Temple. No one knew 100% of the specific location, so they could only slowly search there.
"Ruyue, how credible do you think Le Yuan's words are?" Qi Yue asked as he leaned comfortably on the bucket seat of the Lamborghini.
Ruyue said while driving, "At least 70% of it can be believed."
"Oh? That high? "Qi Yue looked at her in surprise.
Ruyue nodded and said, "Think about it, he wants to use us now, and he is not sure how much we already know, so it is impossible for him to lie to us about certain things. Otherwise, how can we cooperate with them? Therefore, what he said about the Sacred Source and the specific location should not be false. Because even if we know the location, there are still several other forces around, and it will not be easy to succeed. Therefore, in his understanding, we must also cooperate with the Vatican, just like how he wants to cooperate with us now. That's the truth. Although your and Mingming's abilities have increased, we can only deal with one side at most, be it the Vatican, the Dark Parliament, or the Greek Guardians. Once we become the target of everyone, it'll be difficult for us to succeed. Under the premise that we are using each other, we must cooperate closely with them. Therefore, he has to show some sincerity to make us believe in them. Because of this, I said that we can believe 70% of his words. Of course, the remaining 30% may be the key to this Sacred Source, so he will definitely not tell us, so we can only rely on ourselves to figure it out. "
Qi Yue smiled, "70%, 70% is enough for us at the moment. Perhaps our Zodiac Guardian Warriors are not the strongest at the moment, but in terms of growth, none of them can compare to us. As long as we have a clear destination, it is hard to say who will be the winner in the end. "
Ruyue said with a smile, "That depends on you. This is the first time you are leading all the Zodiac Guardian Warriors on a mission, you have to think more. Although on the surface, we Zodiac Guardian Warriors are very united, but we all have our own strength. If you want everyone to acknowledge you as the King of the Zodiac, you have to show what you are supposed to do. Not only in terms of strength, but also in terms of command and leadership. "
Qi Yue smiled bitterly, "If it was not for the fact that you have to be busy with work and the Zodiac Guardian Warriors, I really don't want to be the King of the Zodiac. It is so tiring!"
