Chapter 154: Treasure Acquired!

It was a blue pearl roughly the size of a fist. The moment this blue pearl appeared, layers upon layers of snowflakes and frost flowers materialized directly in the surrounding air——

Furthermore, the temperature plummeted drastically. However, this level of cold was still utterly insignificant to Zhao Changsheng. Immediately, he gathered all the astonishing frigid energy emanating from the blue pearl back into the pearl itself.

"I can't refine it yet. I'll need to find an opportunity to completely refine it."

After muttering these words to himself, Zhao Changsheng placed the blue pearl into a small box.

Having finished, Zhao Changsheng simply turned and left. Since he had obtained what he came for, it was time to depart this place and search for the other items.

The Dry Blue Ice Flame and the void heaven cauldron were now fully in his possession. What remained were the two treasures: the ten-thousand-year spirit milk and the soul nurturing wood.

These two treasures held considerable use for Zhao Changsheng, so naturally, he couldn't let them slip away. If he did, he'd definitely slap himself.

Soon, Zhao Changsheng entered a stone chamber that didn't appear very large. The entire chamber was only a few meters high and about ten meters in length and width. The floor was covered in thick dust. Most importantly, there was an exceedingly crude Teleportation Array. How crude was it? It was crooked and twisted, its patterns rough and shoddy, completely resembling something a person with no knowledge of Formations had clumsily imitated. Whether it could even teleport was a question.

Even so, Zhao Changsheng had to use this thing. So, he directly took out several Spirit Stones and placed them at the four sides of the Teleportation Array.

Immediately after, he activated it. In the next moment, his entire person vanished from within the Formation. When he reappeared, he was amidst a mist.

The mist was damp, humid, warm, and carried a refreshing, heart-soothing fragrance.

As this fragrance appeared, Zhao Changsheng knew he had come to the right place, because a pool appeared before him. However, the water in the pool was white, not clear, but milky white.

This refreshing, heart-soothing fragrance emanated from the pool. And within the pool, there were no beauties, nothing at all. So, Zhao Changsheng could only sigh and began to investigate.

Before long, he found his targets: the soul nurturing wood and the ten-thousand-year spirit milk.

After finding these two items, Zhao Changsheng had no mood for a soak, nor any intention to dismantle the entire Spirit Eye Spring. He couldn't do that yet, as he hadn't completely gained control over the entire Void Heaven Palace.

"It seems I'll have to wait until I refine the void heaven cauldron before I can fully control this Void Heaven Palace. As for now, it's also time to leave."

After saying this, Zhao Changsheng directly found a portal and left, with no intention of staying to search for more items. Because the things here had basically been swept clean by Zhao Changsheng. It would be difficult for those who came later to obtain anything.

At most, they might find some Spirit Medicine. Getting anything else would be troublesome.

Upon leaving, Zhao Changsheng met the person he wanted to see, just as he wished.

"I've kept you waiting, Madam. This trip was quite fruitful. Let's return and discuss it slowly."

Looking at Madam Wen before him, a smile also appeared on Zhao Changsheng's face.

"As my husband wishes."

Madam Wen also smiled charmingly, then nestled into Zhao Changsheng's embrace. Immediately after, the two left the spot and returned to their own place, the current Sacred Mountain.

Although the Sacred Mountain had been mostly destroyed, after such a long period of reconstruction, it had already been largely rebuilt.

It still had palaces, magnificent towers, jade pavilions, and such. In short, it wasn't much different from before, as these things could be restored to their original state once rebuilt.

"I never expected my husband to obtain so many good things this time. When does my husband plan to refine that void heaven cauldron?"

Madam Wen asked the most concerning question: when to refine the void heaven cauldron. That was the most important matter.

"That matter isn't urgent yet, because now is not the time for refinement. It won't be too late to refine it when the time is right. The most important thing at hand is to find a way to obtain one more item. This item is still very important. You continue to stay here and Cultivate for now. I need to make a trip first."

Zhao Changsheng's words caused a look of confusion to appear on Madam Wen's face, not understanding what he meant.

"What exactly could be so important that my husband values it this much?"

"Naturally, it's a good thing. If I can obtain it, then handling matters later will be much easier, and the speed might increase considerably at the very least. Don't ask about this. In short, you don't need to concern yourself with this matter. I can handle it alone. What you need to do now is wait for news from the Yao Race. By the way, have the Yao Race made any troublesome moves recently? If so, I'll go teach them a lesson. After all, it's not a difficult task for me now, and dealing with them would be much easier. Don't worry."

Zhao Changsheng's inquiry slightly eased Madam Wen's mind. She then recounted everything that had happened during this period. In short, all those forces that previously refused to submit to the Star Sea Empire had now agreed.

Furthermore, the strength of the Star Sea Empire had greatly increased. It no longer required Zhao Changsheng to single-handedly suppress the various forces, making them dare not resist or oppose.

"It seems those two from the Star Palace have done quite well. There's one thing I need your help with: rebuilding the Star Palace."

This instruction from Zhao Changsheng immediately made Madam Wen uneasy, and she almost jumped out of his embrace.

"Rebuild the Star Palace? How can that be allowed?"

"There's nothing that can't be allowed. This was originally discussed between me and those two Elders of the Star Palace within the Void Heaven Palace. It's also the reason why those forces chose to submit to the Star Sea Empire. So, naturally, we should return the favor and rebuild the Star Palace. This can also greatly enhance the strength of the Star Sea Empire itself, so you don't need to worry too much. There's another matter: continue to monitor the Yao Race. I always feel they won't let this matter rest easily this time. After all, I've already dealt with them like that. If they let it go, that would be strange."

"Of course, if they choose to cooperate, don't refuse. After all, this is also a rare opportunity. If they choose cooperation, it would bring us considerable benefits. There's no need to give up such a great advantage."

"Does my husband truly intend to cooperate with the Yao Race? Our relationship with them isn't exactly good?"

Although this matter had been decided upon previously, Madam Wen was still worried, feeling things wouldn't be so simple, especially cooperating with the Yao Race. Their intentions were simply incomprehensible.

"Don't worry, nothing will go wrong. If anything happens, I can smoothly resolve it. It's fine. There's another matter: the affairs of the Empire. You need to handle them properly, deal with all those who have objections. If you can't handle them, then find a way to have someone else deal with them. In short, don't let them continue to cause trouble and affect the establishment of the Star Sea Empire. That wouldn't be a good thing, and I don't want such unpleasant events to continue. At the same time, I believe you can accomplish this and not put me in a difficult position."

"My husband can rest assured about this. Your concubine can certainly do it. However, your concubine still has some concerns."

"It's fine. Leave these matters to me to handle. Don't worry. If the Yao Race truly disagrees, then I'll massacre the entire Yao Race and bring over a batch of obedient ones. After all, that's not particularly difficult for me. On the contrary, it's a very easy task. I'm too lazy to bother with those messy affairs. Those messy affairs are completely unnecessary to manage."

"Your concubine understands. My husband can rest assured. By the way, there's one more thing. I'm afraid my husband needs to make a trip to the Tiannan Cultivation World?"

"The Tiannan Cultivation World? Has something major happened again?"

Hearing this news, Zhao Changsheng's expression changed somewhat. After all, no matter what, he still held some affection for the Tiannan Cultivation World. Naturally, he didn't want any problems or accidents to occur there.

"My husband spent many years in the Tiannan Cultivation World. Presumably, you've heard of the Demon Fall Valley?"

Madam Wen nodded and continued. In short, something had happened at the Demon Fall Valley.

"How could something happen there so soon? Logically, it should take at least several hundred more years for anything to occur. Why has it happened now? Could there be some accident?"

After hearing this, Zhao Changsheng's expression changed. After all, logically, something shouldn't happen there for at least another hundred or two hundred years.

"Your concubine isn't clear about that either. But one thing is certain: this matter is absolutely not minor. So, I hope my husband can make a trip to resolve it. If it can be resolved smoothly, that would be better. Perhaps some benefits can also be gained from it. It's said some have obtained considerable benefits from the Demon Fall Valley. With my husband's strength, you should be able to gain even more benefits from there."

"Could it be you also want to go?"

Hearing this, Zhao Changsheng frowned and pressed for details. For him, that was no good place.

The things inside were indeed all good treasures; Zhao Changsheng couldn't deny that. Even he would be deeply tempted by the items within.

But currently, his strength was still somewhat insufficient. So, regarding this matter, he truly felt a bit embarrassed to go.

"Your concubine does wish to go, because the things inside might be of some use to me."

"Since you want to go, then let's make a trip. But before that, we must first investigate the situation clearly. We cannot afford any mistakes. If a mistake occurs, regret will be too late then. You should understand this. Therefore, this matter must be thoroughly investigated; absolutely no accidents can be allowed. That place is the most dangerous and vicious location in all of Tiannan. Once an accident occurs, even with my Divine Abilities and strength, making a complete retreat would be a rather difficult matter. It's not something that can be explained in a few words."

Zhao Changsheng also voiced his own concerns and worries. Madam Wen understood Zhao Changsheng's concerns and worries.

"My husband can rest assured about this. There will absolutely be no problems. Your concubine has been sending people to the Tiannan Cultivation World these past few days to investigate matters related to the Demon Fall Valley. And knowing they were my husband's people, they didn't cause much trouble. On the contrary, they tried their best to inform the people I dispatched."

"I'm naturally aware of all this. But some things still require caution. I always feel things aren't this simple. After all, ten thousand years ago, the Tiannan Cultivation World also once produced a Deity Transformation Cultivator. That Deity Transformation Cultivator also attempted to establish an Empire, but ultimately faced joint siege from the Righteous Path and the Demonic Path, leading to his fall and death."

Zhao Changsheng nodded and also voiced his own worries. After hearing Zhao Changsheng's words, Madam Wen's expression also became quite unpleasant.

"Could it be my husband is worried this is a trap jointly set by the Righteous Path and the Demonic Path? They want to use the power of the Demon Fall Valley to completely erase my husband?"

"That possibility indeed exists, and it's not small. They think by borrowing the power of the Demon Fall Valley, they can erase me. That possibility exists. After all, that place is indeed different from others, more dangerous and vicious. Even for me, gaining advantages there wouldn't be easy."

"On the contrary, it's a very difficult matter, and the danger level is extremely high. If one isn't careful, it's easy to lose one's life. I think, just as you said, they want to use the power of this Demon Fall Valley to confront me and completely destroy me. Although the possibility is significant, dealing with it isn't impossible. So, don't worry too much about this matter. I'll handle it myself. There's no need to be overly concerned. This sort of thing is nothing to me."

"Then perhaps your concubine shouldn't go."

Though she said this, Madam Wen was still extremely worried, fearing Zhao Changsheng might truly encounter some accident.

"Since we've decided to do this kind of thing, naturally, we should see it through. Since you want to go, then let's go all the way. But not now. We must wait until I finish handling my own matters before going to that place. After handling them, whatever tricks they have left will be up to me to decide. And I also want to know what methods they can possibly use against me. If they have none, that's for the best. If they do, I hope they can bring some clever tricks so my trip isn't in vain. If they truly have none, then it can only be said they are lucky. Otherwise, I don't mind leaving them forever in the Demon Fall Valley. That's not a difficult thing for me. So, there's no need to worry too much."
