Yu Tiangou?
The moment she said this, Sheng was stunned. Then, a stunned expression quickly appeared in his eyes. He asked, "Where did you hear these words from?"
Looking at Sheng's reaction, Yao was delighted. She immediately realized that Sheng knew a clue about Yu Tiangou. However, she did not answer Sheng's question. Instead, she quickly asked, "If Uncle Sheng knows, please tell me!"
Sheng looked at Yao who was filled with joy. His expression was obviously not as relaxed as Yao. After looking around, he frowned and said solemnly, "Princess, follow me into the house."
Yao nodded and followed Sheng into the house. Sheng closed the door. After the two sat down, Sheng looked at Yao and asked again, "Princess, how did you know these words?"
"This …" Yao was a little hesitant. Even if she was facing Sheng, she did not want to answer truthfully. However, she did not want to lie to Sheng either. She softly said, "Uncle Sheng, just tell me directly."
Looking at Yao, Sheng was obviously still hesitating. Actually, the Divine Master, Divine Empress, and he were very clear about how strong Yao's talent was. It was not an exaggeration to say that Yao's future achievements would definitely be above Chen and Qing's, or even above Abyss'. More importantly, Abyss was only proficient in fighting and was weaker in healing. However, Yao took care of both.
Abyss had said more than once in front of him that he would pass the position of Divine Master to Yao in the future. When Yao's strength broke through to the equivalent of a level nine Heavenly Master, he would officially confer her the title of Young Mistress of Sengoku and become the successor of the Divine Master. From this point, Yao was qualified to know anything, including Yu Tiangou.
After hesitating, Sheng finally made up his mind. He took a deep breath and said, "This Yu Tiangou is actually a treasure."
Treasure?!
The moment he said this, Yao's body trembled. She was stunned!
In the intelligence gathering, almost everyone believed that Yu Tiangou was the name of a location. Only Liu Yi suspected that it might not be related to the location. However, even Liu Yi did not persist in other directions. The reason was simple. The first sentence of the four sentences, 'Sacred Fire Plains', was the location. According to common sense, the second sentence should be narrowing down the location, or the way to reach the Sacred Fire Plains. This Yu Tiangou was actually a treasure. This was beyond her expectations!
Looking at Yao's shocked expression, Sheng asked, "You were looking for news of Yu Tiangou in the library for the past few days?"
Yao quickly recovered from the shock, nodded and admitted, "That's right."
"Then it's normal that you can't find it." Sheng took a deep breath. Since he had already said it, there was no need to hide it anymore. He said, "Yu Tiangou is something that the Hachiko clan has forbidden to record. Even Sengou cannot record it."
Yao was stunned. She rarely participated in the management of Sengoku's affairs, so she never knew that the Hachiko clan had such a request for Sengoku.
"My name is Yu Tiangou. It's actually an extremely special ore." Sheng said, "This kind of ore can constantly emit energy, and it's an extremely powerful energy. It's not even comparable to an ordinary Level 9 Heavenly Master."
Yao was shocked when she heard this. A single ore could possess such powerful energy. This was something she had never heard of before.
"Of course, releasing energy means that this ore has a life cycle." Sheng continued, "Because Sengoku doesn't have this ore, we don't know the specifics. However, there is some uncertain information. It says that this ore can only release its internal energy for a month. When it's completely released, it will enter a dormant period, constantly absorbing energy from the outside world to fill itself up. Then, it will wake up and release energy again. However, the cycle of this ore's repeated use seems to be limited, but we don't know how many times it can release and absorb energy. "
Yao frowned when she heard this. After thinking for a while, she asked, "Is this the only use of Yu Tiangou?"
"That's all I know." Sheng told her the truth. "As for what other uses it has, I don't know."
To be able to obtain this information was very precious to Yao. She immediately asked, "Where can I find this ore?"
Sheng frowned when he heard this. His eyes clearly became a little heavy, and he said, "The Hachiko clan."
Yao's delicate body trembled when she heard this. Forget about Lu An asking for something from the Hachiko clan, even if he wanted to go to the Hachiko clan, it was impossible. She quickly asked, "Does anyone else have it?"
"No." Sheng shook his head and said with certainty, "Only the Hachiko clan has it. Other than the Hachiko clan, no matter if it's a person or a place, there won't be any Yu Tiangou. This ore is extremely rare, even rarer than the Red Moon Stone. Otherwise, Sengoku wouldn't be unable to obtain it. "
Yao's heart was very heavy when she heard this. If only the Hachiko clan had it, then this matter was completely hopeless.
"I understand." Yao got up and said, "Thank you, Uncle Sheng."
Sheng knew that Yao was about to leave, so he got up to send her off. As he walked, he said, "Princess, don't tell anyone about Yu Tiangou, because this is something that the Hachiko clan isn't allowed to mention. Even Chen and Qing don't know about it. The fewer people who know about it, the less of a threat the Hachiko clan poses to Sengoku. Even to Lu An and those women, the less they know, the better. Don't spread it. "
"Yes." Yao nodded seriously and said, "I will remember, Uncle Sheng."
As they spoke, the two had already reached the door. Sheng Weiyao pushed the door open and didn't send her off. He said, "It's so chaotic outside now. Princess, you must protect yourself. No matter if it's the Immortal Master, the Immortal Empress, or us, we all care about you. We are waiting for you to lead Sengoku to rise again. "
Sheng's words made Yao Yao feel pressured, but she also felt her responsibility. As the princess of Sengoku, she naturally had such a duty. She wouldn't shirk it.
"I will do my best." Yao said seriously.
Sheng Weiyao watched as she left. He was very gratified. He also watched Yao Yao grow up. He was very clear about how carefree Yao Yao was when she didn't cultivate. He felt very apologetic to put such a heavy burden on such an innocent and pure girl. But there was no other way. If Yao Yao didn't have the talent for cultivation, it would be fine. But Yao Yao had the strongest talent in the past ten thousand years. Thus, Yao Yao couldn't shirk this responsibility even if she wanted to.
Responsibility came from strength. It was the same for everyone. The more chaotic the situation was, the less choice one had.

Eight Ancient Continents, Ice Fire Union.
When Yao Yao returned from Sengoku, Lu An happened to be at home. After listening to Sheng, Yao Yao called Lu An, Liu Yi, and Beauty Yang to tell them about Yu Tian Gou.
It wasn't that Yao Yao didn't trust the other four girls. But in many cases, it was safer to know less.
Yao Yao told Sheng everything, including the warning to herself and the people who knew about it. Lu An, Liu Yi, and Beauty Yang couldn't help but take a deep breath after listening to everything.
When they heard that Yu Tian Gou was a kind of ore, they were already shocked. But when they heard that this ore was even rarer than the Red Moon Stone, they were even more shocked. However, the three of them quickly calmed down. They believed Sheng Weiyao, even if he was Qi's father. Lu An and Sheng Weiyao had met several times. He believed in this man's character.
"This ore must have a special secret." Liu Yi said, her voice solemn. While thinking, she said, "Perhaps the energy released by this ore can create a special reaction with the Sacred Fire Plain, which can take people directly into it. Or perhaps, this ore can lead people to some special places, just like the Sky Water Token, which can lead people to the Sacred Fire Plain. "
"But …" Beauty Yang also opened her mouth, her voice cold. She looked at Lu An with worried eyes and said, "Only the Hachiko clan has it. We can't get it."
Lu An knitted his brows. If only the Hachiko clan had it, it was impossible to get it.
"Even if it's rare, there should be some fish out of the net," Lu An said in a low voice.
"It's not realistic." Liu Yi shook her head, denying it directly. "Sengoku doesn't have it. The sect doesn't have it. Even if there are fish out of the net, we can't find them."
Lu An frowned. He knew that Liu Yi was right, but he didn't want to give up. They had found the Sacred Fire Plain, but they had to stop because of Yu Tian Gou. This made him feel that all his efforts had been in vain.
However, Lu An was not an impetuous and insistent person. He took a deep breath and calmed his emotions. He looked at Liu Yi and said, "In that case, let's put this matter aside for now. But let the sect alliance help to keep an eye out. If there are any clues, let us know immediately."
Hearing Lu An's words, Liu Yi smiled. It was not easy to be realistic. Fortunately, Lu An had it and could see the reality clearly. Otherwise, it would be troublesome to persuade him.
