Cloud Mist Sect
"Yun Yun, what's been going on with you lately? Yun Leng just told me that you sent Yun Dong to Yangxi City and Yun Xi to Chendong City. Don't you know that Yun Dong's family is in Chendong City, and Yun Xi's family is in Yangxi City? Sending them to their respective family locations would make things go much smoother."
Yun Shan walked into an elegant courtyard, chiding Yun Yun, who was sitting absentmindedly on a chair beside the rockery.
"Master, did I really arrange it that way?" Yun Yun asked.
"Yun Yun, what have you been thinking about lately? Ever since Mu Chen left, you've seemed so distracted," Yun Shan inquired thoughtfully.
"Master, I... I want to travel to the Central Plains!" Yun Yun declared.
"Alright," Yun Shan nodded with a smile, stroking his beard. His deep eyes had already seen through Yun Yun's little thoughts. He knew she was missing Mu Chen.
"But, I am the sect leader of the Cloud Mist Sect," Yun Yun hesitated.
"Go ahead. With the golden bead Mu Chen gave me, I can live for at least a few more decades. While you're young, go out and see the world. I'll take care of the sect's affairs for you," Yun Shan reassured her with a gentle smile.
"Master, I also want to take Yan Ran out for some training," Yun Yun added timidly.
"Alright," Yun Shan agreed without hesitation.
"You're really okay with it?" Yun Yun looked at him in surprise.
"You're my precious disciple now. Even if you wanted to dismantle this old bones of mine, I'd still agree," Yun Shan chuckled secretly.
"Master... what are you talking about?" Yun Yun blushed, not fully understanding the implication in Yun Shan's words.
...
The Tianmu Mountain Range was a place of great renown even across the entire northern region of the Central Plains. The reason for its fame was the Heavenly Mountain Blood Pool, which appeared once every three years.
The Heavenly Mountain Blood Pool had a miraculous effect, allowing the younger generation to undergo a complete transformation and break through the bottleneck below the Dou Zong level.
Battle Saints and Battle Venerates were rare even in the Central Plains. For a family, nurturing a Dou Zong-level expert was crucial. As long as a family had one Dou Zong expert, its reputation and influence would far surpass that of ten Battle Emperors, while a family without a Dou Zong expert would struggle.
This clearly illustrated the immense gap between Dou Zong and Battle Emperor.
As a place that could help peak Battle Emperors break through to the Dou Zong level, the Tianmu Mountain Range naturally became a target for many forces. Originally, the mountain range was solely owned by the Gold-Devouring Rat Clan, one of the top ten Magical Beast families. However, after the Human-Rat War, the Gold-Devouring Rat Clan was forced to relinquish eight of the spots.
The Gold-Devouring Rat Clan was not foolish; in fact, they were quite cunning. They didn't care which factions claimed the eight spots. They let humans compete among themselves, creating friction and tension between them. They even hoped that humans would end up killing each other over it.
"Mu Chen, why don't you use your ability to get us directly to the Heavenly Mountain?" Xiao Yu suggested.
"No, I've said it before..."
"Yes, you've said it—walking is also a form of cultivation. Because of you, we've been lacking in physical training, which is detrimental to our cultivation. So, unless we're in mortal danger, you won't intervene. Right?"
Before Mu Chen could finish speaking, Xiao Yu pouted and interrupted, finishing his sentence in one breath.
"You already know all this?" Mu Chen asked, surprised.
"Of course, you've said it a hundred and one times along the way!" Xiao Yu replied.
After leaving the Cloud Mist Sect, Mu Chen led Xiao Yu, Xue Ni, and Ruo Lin to the northern region of the Central Continent. From the moment they entered this area, Mu Chen had not made a move. Occasionally, they encountered some reckless humans and Magical Beasts along the way, all of whom were either driven away or killed by Xiao Yu, Xue Ni, and Ruo Lin. Over the past half month, the combat experience of Xiao Yu, Xue Ni, and Ruo Lin had improved significantly.
Suddenly, a giant crane with a body of seven colors flapped its massive wings, swiftly flying towards the Tianmu Mountain Range. The sunlight reflected off its colorful feathers, creating a dazzling and extremely beautiful sight.
"A Seven-Colored Spirit Crane? Isn't that the mount of Miss Feng from the Wind Thunder Pavilion?"
When the giant crane appeared, a group of people not far from Mu Chen exclaimed in surprise.
"Wind Thunder Pavilion?" Mu Chen murmured to himself.
"Mu Chen, is this Wind Thunder Pavilion the same one from the 'One Hall, One Tower, Two Sects, Three Valleys, and Four Pavilions'?" Xue Ni, dressed in red, asked.
"Yes," Mu Chen nodded.
"What a beautiful mount. Mu Chen, I want one too," Xiao Yu said.
"Go get one yourself," Mu Chen replied indifferently.
"Can you get one for me?" Xiao Yu asked.
"Aren't you already a peak Battle Emperor? Getting a fourth or fifth-tier mount shouldn't be difficult for you," Mu Chen said calmly. He was a Battle Venerate, with a body that had reached the Eight-Star Indestructible Golden Body, and his soul realm far surpassed the 204th level of the Emperor Soul. Asking him to get a fourth or fifth-tier mount would be beneath his status!
"Please?" Xiao Yu shook Mu Chen's arm.
"No. Get it yourself," Mu Chen shook his head. "A Seven-Colored Spirit Crane is just a fourth or fifth-tier Magical Beast. If I were to make a move, it would have to be at least a ninth-tier Magical Beast."
"Alright, then a ninth-tier Magical Beast. Mu Chen, you're so good to me," Xiao Yu said happily.
"Wait, what did I just say?" Mu Chen was stunned.
"You just said that you would at least get me a ninth-tier Magical Beast as a mount," Xiao Yu said joyfully.
"Ah?" Mu Chen was dumbfounded, shaking his head with a bitter smile. Had he just dug a hole for himself?
"Hey, Instructor, are you tempted too?" Xiao Yu looked at her instructor, Ruo Lin, and then added, "Mu Chen, since you're getting one, why not get another? Instructor Ruo Lin is tempted too."
"Ruo Lin?" Mu Chen looked at Ruo Lin.
During this time, the relationship between Mu Chen and Ruo Lin had not been revealed. Others did not know that Ruo Lin was already Mu Chen's woman. As Ruo Lin put it, she still didn't know how to tell Xiao Yu.
Although their relationship was not public, it had not affected their secret affair in the slightest.
The thought of having played with Xiao Yu and Xue Ni's instructor made Mu Chen feel a surge of heat in his lower abdomen.
"What, you don't want to?" Xiao Yu asked.
"Willing, willing, how could I not be willing," Mu Chen smiled, locking eyes with Ruo Lin. Though there was nothing to it, Ruo Lin, feeling guilty as if she were a thief, couldn't help but blush. Combined with her aura that seemed to soften everything in the world, Mu Chen couldn't help but feel the urge to push her down and embrace her once more.
"Xue Ni, do you want a mount? A ninth-tier mount?" Xiao Yu's gaze shifted to her good friend Xue Ni. A ninth-tier mount was equivalent to a top-tier Magical Beast, comparable to a Dou Sheng powerhouse.
"Really?" Xue Ni asked, her heart stirred.
"Of course. Mu Chen, three, three ninth-tier Magical Beasts!" Xiao Yu extended three fingers toward Mu Chen.
"Alright, no problem," Mu Chen replied, his eyes scanning Xue Ni up and down.
Xue Ni was quite beautiful, with a good figure. Though she couldn't compare to Xiao Wu's cuteness, Ya Fei and Hu Liena's allure, or Tang Yuehua's elegance, she was Xiao Yu's good friend after all.
Mu Chen couldn't help but think to himself, since he had already played with Xiao Yu's mentor Ruo Lin, when would he get a chance to tease Xiao Yu's good friend Xue Ni? Just the thought of Xue Ni being Xiao Yu's close friend filled Mu Chen with immense excitement!
