59: Chapter 59 Three Women Travel Together, Swords Pointing Towards the Central Plains!

"This is..."

"A Protective Dao Talisman."

Luo Qinghan's voice was devoid of emotion.

"It contains three full-strength strikes sealed within by your Revered Master, capable of both offense and defense."

"When you encounter a hurdle you truly cannot overcome, simply crush it."

Three full-strength strikes from a Peak Quasi-Emperor.

Sometimes, this thing is even more useful than an Imperial Weapon when taken out.

Because with an Imperial Weapon, you still need the strength to activate it.

With this thing, you just crush it and you're done.

Three times.

Below the level of a Quasi-Emperor, whoever comes will die!

Lin Yi tucked the jade talisman into his robes and said solemnly, "Thank you, Revered Master."

Luo Qinghan didn't speak; she only reached out and lightly patted his shoulder.

The force was very light, but the message it conveyed was heavy.

"Go, do what you must without restraint! If the sky falls, your Revered Master will hold it up for you!"

Hearing this, Lin Yi felt immensely comforted. He took a deep breath, cupped his hands, and took his leave.

When he walked out of the Tianji Hall, the sunlight was just right.

He stood on the stone steps, gazing into the distance.

The golden Luck pillar of the Northern Region was still faintly visible under the sun.

The Ancient Great Emperors Secret Realm.

Wang Teng.

Chu Ningshuang.

And those prodigies watching like tigers stalking their prey.

The corners of Lin Yi's mouth curled up slightly.

"An inheritor of an Ancient Great Emperor, another Child of Destiny."

"I hope you'll be a bit more interesting than the previous two."

He walked down the stone steps with his hands behind his back.

Inside the Tianji Hall behind him, Zhou Qing held a teacup, watching Lin Yi's departing figure.

He sighed with emotion.

"Peak Master Luo, I'm afraid your disciple's future achievements will not be below yours or mine."

Luo Qinghan's back was turned to him, her voice indifferent.

"Not below yours or mine?"

"He will far surpass us!"

Zhou Qing was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

"You, oh you, you've been cold as ice your whole life."

"Only when praising your own disciple is your tongue sweeter than anyone else's!"

Luo Qinghan did not respond.

But she raised her hand to tidy a stray hair at her temple.

Zhou Qing noticed that the tips of her ears were slightly red.

...

First Peak.

Lin Yi returned to his Immortal Cave, and just as he pushed open the stone door,

Xu Chen popped out from the side.

"Senior Brother Lin! Something big has happened!"

His fat face was filled with excitement, and his hands were gesturing non-stop.

"What is it?"

"News has come from the Central Province!"

Xu Chen lowered his voice and said word by word,

"The Ancient Great Emperors Secret Realm will appear in ten days!"

"Prodigies from all the Dao Domains have already started rushing to the Central Province!"

"I heard that even the Imperial Son of the Northern Region's Imperial Clan Wang Family, Wang Teng, has already set out!"

"There's also the newly promoted Saint of the Yaoguang Holy Land, Xuan Ye!"

"All the prodigies in the world are heading for that Secret Realm!"

After Xu Chen finished speaking, his eyes were as bright as stars, and his hands were clenched into fists.

"Senior Brother Lin, are we going?"

Lin Yi leaned against the doorframe, looking at Xu Chen's irrepressible expression.

"What do you think?"

Xu Chen nodded vigorously, his head bobbing like a pestle.

"Go! We must go!"

"A complete Legacy of an Ancient Great Emperor! Imperial Scriptures, Imperial Weapons, and great emperors essence blood!"

"This kind of Opportunity only appears once in a million years; if you miss it, you won't encounter it in your next life!"

Lin Yi didn't say anything more.

He looked up toward the north.

Within his Primordial Immortal Pupil, a gold and purple light flashed and vanished.

Ten days.

That's enough.

He turned and walked into the Immortal Cave, leaving behind one sentence.

"Go and notify Yu Xi, Wanqing, and Qingyue."

"In three days, we set out for the Central Province!"

...

Three days passed in a flash.

Lin Yi didn't go anywhere during these three days.

He stayed in his Immortal Cave, focusing intensely on the second Move of the Heavenly Emperor Fist.

The immortal source ancestral vein continuously supplied energy, and the Fist Intent of the Heavenly Emperor Fist was repeatedly refined within his Meridians.

He had already comprehended the forms of the second Move.

But he was still one step away from reaching Major Achievement.

What he lacked was not Comprehension Ability or resources.

But actual combat.

Someone had to take a punch from him for him to know if this punch was truly powerful enough.

Lin Yi opened his eyes and flexed his wrists.

"Alright, that's about it."

He stood up and pushed open the stone door.

Outside, the sky wasn't fully bright yet, and the morning mist wrapped in Spiritual Qi flowed between the peaks.

Rustling sounds came from the direction of the Ziyun Pavilion.

Chu Wanqing's voice drifted over from a distance.

"Sister Qingyue! Why are you bringing so many Jade Slips? It's not like there's an exam on the way!"

Shen Qingyue's response was very calm.

"It's fine to bring more; I can study them during the journey."

"Are you going to explore a Secret Realm or to sit for an exam!"

The corner of Lin Yi's mouth twitched.

These two had actually developed a bit of a rapport over the three days.

Chu Wanqing could now casually tease Shen Qingyue.

And Shen Qingyue no longer felt as awkward as she did the first two days.

Though she would occasionally get a headache from Chu Wanqing's antics.

Lin Yi walked to the front of the Ziyun Pavilion.

Chu Wanqing was helping Shen Qingyue pack her things, her mouth never stopping.

Shen Qingyue stood to the side, holding a stack of Jade Slips in her arms, expressionless.

But the confusion and emptiness from a few days ago were no longer in the depths of her eyes.

Replacing them was a quiet determination.

Three days was enough for her to digest the basic information of this era.

And enough for her to figure some things out.

For instance, the disappearance of the Shen Family would have to be investigated sooner or later.

But before investigating, she had to build up her own strength first.

"Ready?"

Lin Yi's voice came from behind.

Chu Wanqing turned around, and the moment she saw Lin Yi, her face lit up with a smile.

"Brother Lin Yi! I've been ready for a long time!"

Shen Qingyue put down the Jade Slips and bowed slightly.

"Young Master Lin."

Lin Yi nodded and glanced at the two of them.

"Let's go, to the Second Peak to pick up Yu Xi."

The three of them walked toward the Second Peak together.

On the way, Chu Wanqing leaned closer to Lin Yi and asked in a low voice,

"Brother Lin Yi, will it be very dangerous going to the Central Province this time?"

"Yes!"

Lin Yi's answer was very blunt.

Chu Wanqing swallowed hard.

"Is that Wang Teng really that strong?"

"Not weak."

"Compared to Ye Chen?"

"Ye Chen isn't even worth mentioning in front of him."

Chu Wanqing was silent for two seconds.

Then she clenched her fists and said with a serious face,

"Then I must also become stronger! I can't let Brother Lin Yi carry everything alone every time!"

Lin Yi glanced at her sideways.

"Unlock the suppression of your Imperial Phoenix Holy Body first."

"I'm already working hard!"

Chu Wanqing pouted.

Shen Qingyue walked behind them, listening to their conversation, and the corner of her mouth curved up slightly.

It quickly returned to its original state.

Second Peak.

Su Yuxi was already waiting in front of the peak.

She had changed into a plain-colored battle robe, her long hair tied back with a jade hairpin.

Capable, cold, and sharp.

A string of Spirit Stone Prayer Beads hung from her wrist.

That was the proof that her Innate Dao Fetus had recovered to thirty percent after three days of cultivating with the ancient divine source.

Seeing Lin Yi walking over with Chu Wanqing and Shen Qingyue,

Su Yuxi's gaze lingered on the two girls for a moment.

Then she looked away.

"Leaving?"

She was asking Lin Yi.

"Mm."

Su Yuxi nodded and stepped forward to follow.

She walked on Lin Yi's right, her position very precise.

Not too far, not too close, exactly within half a step.

Chu Wanqing was on the left, and Shen Qingyue was behind.

The positioning of the four people naturally formed just like that.

Xu Chen chased after them from behind, carrying a large pile of luggage, panting for breath.

"Wait for me! Why are you all walking so fast!"

No one paid him any attention.

The group arrived at the Mountain Gate.

Grand Elder Wang Hong had already prepared the heavenly treasure tower ship.

The tower ship was a size larger than the one that went to the Taichu Ancient Mine last time, and the hull was covered with protective formation patterns.

Clearly, the Holy Land had specially replaced it.

Wang Hong cupped his hands and said, "Saint, the tower ship is ready."

"The journey to the Central Province is a million miles; it should take about seven days to arrive."
