Chapter 823: Southern Heaven Realm, Yue Yang’s Aspirations

Yue Yang returned to the Soaring Dragon Continent and rushed to the place specified by Grandmother Sha in a dazed state.

The vicissitudes of life.

With the passing of tens of thousands of years, the place where the ancient runes once stood was now completely different from Grandmother Sha’s memory. There, it used to be a valley full of birds and flowers. Now, not only was the valley buried under a layer of dust as it becomes history, but on the top of the landform, there was also a mountain that was two-kilometers high. After careful inspection, Yue Yang came to the simple and final conclusion: the location of the ancient runes was at the very least under a thousand meters of thick soil.

Without making a passage through the layer of a thousand-meter thick soil, it doesn’t no matter how strong Yue Yang’s induction was, it would be of no help.

He returned to Da Xia to find Jun Wu You, asking him for help.

“This is a trivial matter. Our Soaring Dragon Continent has a scarcity for everything, but the one thing we have no shortage of is manpower!” Jun Wu You was ecstatic when he heard the news, and waved at Yue Yang to not worry: “Even if you don’t want to trouble others, I know a few old guys whose strength are not ranked, but they all have special skills. For example, one of them has a beast which is a mountain earthworm. It will not be a big problem to create a passage of several kilometers in the area you specified. At most, it will only take more time. According to the speed of its tunnel-digging process for our palace last time, it will be over within a month.”

“This is great. If it only takes one month, then I will be able to merge in time and then go to the Land of Trials to break through.” Yue Yang knew that Jun Wu You would have his ways.

“How is Qian Qian?” Jun Wu You pretended to ask..

“Recently, she has made great progress. She has broken through the limit and is ready to fully integrate with the Prison Emperor Divine Sword… Recently, she has devoted herself to cultivating and even my very existence was ignored.” Yue Yang quickly placed himself in the same perspective with him, lest this old man felt jealous and formed an opinion that women are hard to keep inside the house [1].

TL note: [1] this phrase is used normally by parents to describe the inevitable fate of their daughters growing up and marrying off, becoming not easy to ‘keep her at home’. It’s used in a sort of somewhat sarcastically insulting manner by the elderly towards women, so yea, don’t use it.

“Good!” When Jun Wu You heard this, he felt much more relieved.

He also knew that the Prison Emperor Divine Sword actually recognized Yue Yang, but the blood bond of the Prison Emperor was held by his daughter.

If his daughter could eliminate the Prison Emperor’s remaining consciousness of protection, take over and integrate the sword of the Prison Emperor in an all-rounded way to turn this artifact into hers and hers only, it will undoubtedly be an immeasurable achievement for her cultivation. In a short time, that girl had already gained such strength and realm; it would have been strange if Jun Wu You was not proud of her. Among the descendants of the entire Tong Tian Tower, Yue Yang was too odd so he doesn’t give comments about him. But apart from the child Xue Wu Xia, who else could be compared with his precious daughter?

As he was leaving the Da Xia Palace, someone appeared.

Yue Yang smiled.

It was the Eastern Sky King who fled to the Da Xia Palace to take refuge!

The Eastern Sky King first looked around. Finding out there was no one, he grabbed Yue Yang by the collar of his shirt: “You brat, you dare to expose this old man? You really don’t aspire to live any longer, do you?”

Yue Yang looked helpless: “It’s not like you’re unaware of who His Majesty is. If I didn’t say it at the time, I might have not been able to keep my life. Besides, His Majesty was not really angry. If you go back and apologize in a few days, His Majesty will definitely forgive you.”

When the Eastern Sky King heard this, his large head looked like a rattle drum: “I won’t go back. I won’t go back for half a year at the very least.”

After that, he patted Yue Yang on the shoulder again: “I know you must be unable to stand it before speaking out. It’s no fault of yours— no one can resist that thunderous anger. By the way, you have been walking around lately, why don’t you bring Xiao Luo Hua? Cultivating is important, but it’s not good for young couples to stray too much from each other, which can affect the relationship between husband and wife. If you have nothing particularly important to attend to, just take her along with you! Besides, with her skills, she won’t cause any trouble for you. In fact, she can definitely help you out slightly… Both of you should work hard, and it would be for the best to have a fair and plump little grandson for me next year so that Jun Wu You can die from jealousy!”

Having said so much, he mainly wanted to suppress Jun Wu You.

Yue Yang couldn’t help but laugh secretly.

Of course, the Eastern Sky King’s heart of protecting his own children was no less than Jun Wu You, perhaps even worse. After seeing Jun Wu You meet up with Yue Yang, he feared that Yue Yang would accompany Princess Qian Qian and neglect his own darling daughter. Hence, he rushed over to knock some sense into student Yue Yang.

After responding one by one, Yue Yang in fact did not make empty promises; he really returned to the Heaven Stairway World Tree and brought out City Mistress Luo Hua.

City Mistress Luo Hua was very surprised, but on the surface she declined: “Treasure hunting? But I still have to practice cultivating, otherwise I will be left behind. You should find Yi Nan, Bing Er and the others to go with you!”

Yue Yang embraced the scented beauty in the brocade and was going to plant a kiss on her plump, red lips: “A certain city lord has performed well recently, wouldn’t that be worth rewarding?”

When Luo Hua saw that Yue Yu was not far away, she quickly avoided his kiss.

She used her hands to obscure the frivolity of her flushed face.

No matter how boldly she could serve this bad man at night, during broad daylight in front of others, she still had a small part of her reputation she needed to maintain.

It wasn’t until she waved her hand to bid farewell to Yue Yu and the Sickly Beauty, leaving the Heaven Stairway World Tree that she regained her lively personality. Suddenly she jumped on the back of Yue Yang, her arms embracing his neck affectionately. First, she gave him a sweet kiss and then whispered words with a breath of fragrance by his ear: “No, why are you so kind to this city lord suddenly. You did something wrong, didn’t you? Admit it truthfully and I’ll be lenient with it!”

Yue Yang held her small, fragrant butt with both hands, lifting her up a bit, trying to make her lay more comfortably.

Being the indecent man he is, he responded with a smile: “The beautiful and suspicious city lord, if this continues, this Captain of the Guard will have to resign.”

“Resigning is not an option, you must repent with death!” Luo Hua City Lord made him amused. In their world with only the two of them, she was completely restored to her true colors— unrestrained, smiling boldly and freely. She shrugged her fragrant-scented shoulders and was especially happy.

“Can I die from exhaustion then? The Captain of the Guard is willing to do his best!” Student Yue Yang clawed as he kept making small movements.

“You meanie, all you know is how to bully people all day…” City Master Luo Hua didn’t stop her lover’s movements, but closed her starry eyes with a slight intoxication. Her long nose exhaled gently and when Yue Yang turned his face, she offered herself to him. Her sweetly scented lips kissed him under the setting sun. The sunlight stretched out the two shadows of their frames into one silhouette as they kissed each other for a long time.

Buried Sword Valley was not a valley.

The original site was a city built under the Iron Summit Mountains of the Soaring Dragon Continent. It was named Buried Sword Valley, or also Buried Sword Village, because the first generation rulers were extremely skilled in forging magic weapons. Throughout its glorious history in ancient times, Buried Sword Valley was much larger than the capital.

However, it has long since become an abandoned area of ​​history.

Yue Yang learned a little bit of its historical truth based on incomplete historical records and Grandmother Sha’s narration.

After being passed on for more than 180 generations, the forces of the Buried Sword Valley split. They fought each other, battling against brothers and sisters and fought for hundreds of years. In the end, Fairy Qi Luo’s husband died in battle, and at the price of a tragic victory, the Buried Sword Valley expelled the traitorous clan that was led by True Lord Raging Flame. However, when True Lord Raging Flame regained his strength, he immediately broke his oath of the promise that he swore not to consider the Buried Sword Valley an enemy, forgetting his vows. Using the reason that women should not be allowed to rule the Buried Sword Valley, and even using his identity as a true, pureblood successor of the ancestral bloodline, he led many masters to attack the Buried Sword Valley.

The final result was the confrontation between Fairy Qi Luo and the True Lord Raging Flame, which triggered a Heavenly Tribulation and the entire Buried Sword Village was destroyed. The two fell at the same time, no longer heard of again.

The Iron Summit Mountains then became a place of destruction for a while and no one dared to approach it.

Thousands of years have passed. When the forest trees regenerate, the monsters and beasts will too; Buried Sword Valley had long ceased to exist in this world… “The monsters here are different. Although they are not considered powerful, they are strange and eccentric, as if they were influenced by some unknown force. Also, the plants are the same. I saw dozens of flowers on the road, but none of them were normal.” City Lord Luo Hua and Yue Yang searched the Iron Summit Mountains for a long time, and after doing so carefully, she found many suspicious places.

“They were probably affected by the power of the tribulation. Maybe, there was also some secret energy in the Buried Sword Valley itself!” Yue Yang had the same discovery— the monsters here were not very strong, but they were very different from those in the outside world. Plus, their vitalities were far higher compared to other monsters of the same level.

“Is it possible to use this kind of energy?” City Mistress Luo Hua thought of a question.

“If it works… then the warriors below the Innate level and the war beasts will get a greater elevation; and as for those above the Innate level, that would be hard to say.” Yue Yang felt that he seemed to be catching on to some kind of discovery, but he was still missing something.

“Maybe you can use the plants here to feed the vegetarian war beasts first.” City Mistress Luo Hua proposed a possibility.

“That probably wouldn’t work.” Yue Yang vetoed the suggestion.

“You should have someone dig this place— I always feel that this place was similar to Hai Lan’s Starfall Sea, but the power of its influence is different.” Luo Hua’s unintentional sentence instantly enlightened Yue Yang’s intensely sought-after answer and he understood everything at once. That’s right, this place was very similar to the Starfall Sea. The only difference is that there was not too strong of a negative influence here… Which meant some of the energy in the Buried Sword Valley was still working, not letting the power of Heavenly Tribulation destroy everything as whatever was eliminated was only on the surface.

“No wonder you are the City Lord, you are indeed very smart!” Yue Yang showered praises for the beauty.

“Hmph!” Luo Hua raised her chin triumphantly.

Seeing the prideful expression of the beauty was tempting, a certain transmigrated man couldn’t help it. He grabbed the beauty and tipped her tender body. Bowing down, he gave her a long, suffocating kiss.

Yue Yang didn’t want to tell anyone about the secret of Buried Sword Valley.

Perhaps, once they dug out the Buried Sword Villa from under the ground, there could be incredible treasures…He left the Quintet Seeking Golden Mice there and focused on searching for the information. Yue Yang took Luo Hua and headed to the long-awaited Southern Heaven Realm, Nightless City. Chaos will commence in the Western Heaven Realm, so if the Southern Heaven Realm doesn’t cause any trouble and the Central Palace only needs to fight alone, it would be too easy for them.

Student Yue Yang decided to do something about the Southern Heaven Realm. Even if they couldn’t commence multi-frontal battles, how could he let the Central Palace fight in only two-frontal assaults. If they didn’t make them utterly exhausted, he wouldn’t be able to live up to the name of the transmigrated man.

There was a trio of surrenderers in the Nightless City, as well as Heaven Rankers such as Flying Locusts and Hua Ban. The Emerald Lord was frightened by the forces behind and dared not go forward to provoke, staying seemingly safe.

Within this timeframe, things have been calm.

There was no tax exemption and no wars of all kinds.

Business was booming at its peak.

The duo Bao Gu and Niu Gen were in a high position. All those who came across them would utter the words ‘Master’ in response.

Especially Bao Gu, who used to be a hawker and traveler, was now even more respected by everyone in the city. Even strange merchants who come from other places will admire him when they learn about that day. Of course, whether it is Bao Gu or Niu Gen, they both have their own self-awareness. Once they saw Yue Yang approaching, they immediately flew forward and respectfully greeted him. Their positions and mentality were all righteous and they don’t really think that they have become masters. They felt that it was already an extremely rare chance to be under the wing of the Third Young Master. One should know, the surrender trio, the Flying Locusts , Hua Ban and the others who have the strength of the Heavenly Rank, don’t even have the qualifications to be his slaves!

“I’m very relieved about the way you two handle things, so you don’t need to report to me any longer. When Master Hai is free to come up here, you can report to him again!” Yue Yang gave them a task, which is to contact Bi Lu as soon as possible.

With Yue Yang’s current strength, it was no longer necessary to kill the Emerald Lord.

It’s just that there was King Tuo Ye behind him and King Lionheart. If he could get more information, they might be able to kill the enemy in one go. In this way, he believed that the Southern Heaven Realm will definitely stir some trouble no matter what. As long as Yue Yang continues to fuel the flames and expand the impact of the whole incident, the Central Palace will not be able to ignore it… After all, Yue Yang’s greedy aspirations could only be sated by the Emerald Shire!
