The crowd buzzed with intense discussion, many marveling at their good fortune to live in the same era as Ye Yun, to witness the great changes of the continent!
At this moment, Ye Yun had just sheathed his Fenglan Sword when Yu Wenya's voice of admiration drifted over.
"Elder Ye, you truly dare to act."
Yu Wenya sighed, "After today, I reckon the Xuanming Immortal Palace and the Fulong Immortal Palace will do everything they can to kill you!"
"It matters not. At worst, we'll meet force with force, and flood with earth."
Ye Yun looked at her with a smile, "Moreover, don't you, Palace Master Yu, stand to benefit greatly from what I've done today?"
"Without reason, two great immortal palaces each lose a cultivator of the Foundation Building realm, and even other top experts. The Xuanming Immortal Palace has even lost a Young Palace Master."
"This is surely great news for your two immortal palaces, isn't it?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Wenya was quite frank and directly nodded with a smile.
"You are correct. I am indeed very pleased to see this situation."
She then changed her tone, sighing, "However, truthfully, I sincerely hope no accident befalls you. With your talent, your future achievements would be immeasurable if you could continue to grow."
Ye Yun said with a faint smile, "You can rest assured about that. I also cherish my life and would not put myself in danger unless absolutely necessary."
His words left the others speechless. Good heavens, so in your eyes, this situation is not considered dangerous?
Yu Wenya also smiled helplessly, "Very well, as long as Elder Ye has this in mind. Then, can we now discuss the matter of the Sage's legacy?"
This was what she cared about most. Ye Yun had brought up the Sage's treasure earlier, not just to ask her to spare the demon race.
In fact, Ye Yun seemed quite interested, and he immediately nodded.
"We can, but this is not the place to talk. Let's find a safer location."
Hearing this, Yu Wenya glanced at the hundreds of thousands of spectators who had not yet left and realized it was indeed not suitable for discussion here.
Afterward, Yu Wenya and Lan Zhaoyue gave some instructions to those below and, bringing only a few people, accompanied Ye Yun to a secluded area.
Even so, the two women had their respective Foundation Building realm experts guard the vicinity to prevent anyone from approaching.
"Alright, Elder Ye, can you tell us about the Sage's legacy now?"
Yu Wenya and Lan Zhaoyue looked at him with earnest expressions, awaiting his words.
Seeing this, Ye Yun nodded, "Yes, but first, let me clarify something."
"The Sage's legacy you have in mind, the Immortal Demon National Map, is currently in the hands of Xing Wu of the Nine Nether Demonic Sect."
"What?!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the two women were stunned and looked at him with utter disbelief.
"How did she get it? Wasn't it only you who passed the assessment?"
Ye Yun shook his head helplessly, "I am also very puzzled as to how she entered that space, but she did appear there with Xue Yan and Xiao Xiao, and easily took the Immortal Demon National Map."
Yu Wenya frowned, "And you just watched her take the Immortal Demon National Map?"
Ye Yun spread his hands, "There was nothing I could do. That item originally belonged to her."
"Ah? Hers?"
"Yes, she herself said she came from the Celestial Realm, and this Immortal Demon National Map was what she gave to the Flying Moon Sword Saint for safekeeping..."
Ye Yun briefly explained the whole story, even revealing the matters of the Celestial Realm. He did not keep Xing Wu's identity a secret at all, considering she had already made him take the blame and had just saved Mo Chenyu.
After listening to his account, even with their composure, Yu Wenya and Lan Zhaoyue were utterly shocked.
"So that's how it is, so that's how it is..."
Yu Wenya couldn't help but let out a wry smile and sighed, "No wonder there have been no news of ascension from ancient times to the present. There's such a hidden reason behind it..."
"Forbidden ascension... Heavenly Dao Divine Palace... truly..."
This information was a huge blow to her. As the first genius in a millennium of the Yu Luo Immortal Palace, rumored to have the potential to transcend the mortal realm and achieve sainthood, and even ascend to the Celestial Realm.
These events were tantamount to a massive blow, as if she were directly told that at best, she could only become a Saint, and should not even dream of ascending.
"What nonsense Heavenly Dao Divine Palace! How arrogant and overbearing!"
Lan Zhaoyue, with her hot temper, immediately rebuked in a stern voice.
"Why should they want resources and prevent people from the Xuantian Continent from ascending! Is the Celestial Realm their creation?"
However, anger was anger, but they also understood very well that this world was governed by the law of the jungle.
Even if they cursed the injustice of the Celestial Realm's Heavenly Dao Divine Palace, it couldn't change the fact that they couldn't even enter the Celestial Realm.
Ye Yun shook his head, "The matters of the Celestial Realm are still too distant for us. In comparison, focusing on guarding against Xing Wu in the future is the priority."
"That person comes from the Celestial Realm, and we don't know what she's planning now, so we should be careful."
"Yes, you are right."
Yu Wenya sighed, then pondered and frowned, "However, since you say the Immortal Demon National Map is in her hands, then why did you call us here..."
They had originally come for the Immortal Demon National Map, but since Ye Yun didn't have it, there was nothing to discuss.
Lan Zhaoyue also turned back and said repeatedly, "Yes, I thought you were going to give us the Immortal Demon National Map, and I got my hopes up for nothing."
Seeing their disappointment, Ye Yun smiled and said, "I don't have the Immortal Demon National Map, but I have profound skills."
"Heaven-tier top-grade Flying Moon Sword Art, Heaven-tier top-grade Inch Light Body Technique, Heaven-tier top-grade Heavenly Demon Transformation, all produced by the Flying Moon Sword Saint. Wouldn't the two young ladies be interested?"
"My word... You've hit the jackpot!"
Lan Zhaoyue's eyes lit up after hearing this!
After all, for any force, profound skills are the foundation of development. The quality and quantity of profound skills directly affect how far and how great a force can develop!
Due to many historical factors, within their four great immortal palaces, the most prized profound skills were only Heaven-tier advanced, and there were almost only one or two of them.
Now, to hear of three Heaven-tier top-grade profound skills at once, how could they not be excited? If they obtained all of them, the merit would be no less than obtaining the Immortal Demon National Map!
"Speak directly. Upon returning to our sects, I can make a copy of each of these three profound skills for you."
"Really?!"
"Naturally."
"This..."
Lan Zhaoyue was stunned and so excited she wanted to hug Ye Yun and kiss him a few times. This fellow was simply too likable!
Now, within the Immortal Palace, who would dare to have any objections to her becoming the Palace Master!
Let alone three Heaven-tier top-grade profound skills, even one would be enough to shut them up.
Yu Wenya, on the other hand, remained relatively calm, suppressing her excitement, and looked at him with a serious expression.
"Then, Ye Yun, what is the price?"
From her understanding of Ye Yun, she didn't believe he was a good-natured person who would give them three Heaven-tier profound skills so casually.
As expected, Ye Yun pondered for a moment and slowly said, "The price, well, it's not really a price."
But the more he said this, the more nervous Yu Wenya became, feeling that Ye Yun might make some rather outrageous demands.
Just then, Ye Yun spoke.
"First, your Yu Luo Immortal Palace and Linglong Immortal Palace must establish cooperation with the Gu Dao Heavenly Sect and help the Heavenly Sect develop as quickly as possible."
"And ensure that the Gu Dao Heavenly Sect is not invaded by external enemies, even if they are the Xuanming Immortal Palace and the Fulong Immortal Palace."
Hearing this, Yu Wenya furrowed her brows and asked, "What about you? Do you need protection too?"
"That's not necessary. You don't need to worry about my safety. I just hope my backyard isn't attacked when I'm out."
"If that's the case, then there's no problem!"
The reason she asked this was that Ye Yun had offended too many people. If he really needed protection, without stationing at least two Foundation Building cultivators at all times, safety couldn't be guaranteed, which would be too much pressure on the immortal palaces. Since he didn't need it, it was easy to handle.
Ye Yun smiled and said, "Well, and the second point. I may need to find some heavenly materials and earthly treasures in the future. At that time, I hope your two immortal palaces can cooperate in searching for them."
"No problem!"
Yu Wenya readily agreed to this point as well.
Lan Zhaoyue also nodded, "No problem from my side either!"
"Good, very good. Then it's settled."
"Um... Um?"
Yu Wenya and Lan Zhaoyue had just responded when they both looked at Ye Yun with astonishment.
"That's all?"
Ye Yun looked at the two women and said calmly, "Otherwise? Or should I ask you to pledge yourselves to me for it to be considered a price?"
