Azure Cloud Continent.
There was still some time before heading to Tian Fa Forest, so Xichen decided to head to the Azure Cloud Continent at this time, as he intended to obtain the half of the Sky Poison Pearl and the half of the Miracle of Life.
Unlike Yun Che, who already possessed half of the Sky Poison Pearl and had no need for the Miracle of Life, these were things Xichen needed, as they would not only reduce Yun Che's Fortune Value but would also make him stronger.
By possessing half of the Sky Poison Pearl, he would be able to craft the best pills with just a thought, and this was a very important role for Xichen, who intended to build his own army—something he had already begun to establish.
Although it was small and contained only a little over 1,000 soldiers, all of whom were only in the True Profound Realm or lower, he intended to turn them into a force capable of terrifying the entire continent and even the Gods Realm in the future.
To do this, he needed the Sky Poison Pearl, because even if he could access rare and powerful resources and treasures, he would not be able to make the best use of them without the Sky Poison Pearl—hence its importance.
As for the Miracle of Life, it was also important, as it would allow him to train in light energy, which was a natural counter to dark energy. He had no intention of ignoring the existence of the Moon Slaughter Devil Sovereign, and possessing light energy would give him a significant advantage over the other party.
And not only that, but with the True Dragon-Phoenix Physique, the Life Spirit Flame, the Miracle of Life, and not forgetting the Gate of Healing, he would become nearly impossible to kill, as the healing ability granted by these powers was terrifying.
"Friends, do you know where I can find the Medical Saint?" Xichen asked, staring at a group of young people who seemed to be on a training trip in this forest.
The group consisted of two girls and three boys, and from their clothing, they seemed to belong to the same clan or sect.
The group exchanged glances for a moment, before one of the young men stepped forward toward Xichen. He had short brown hair and sharp eyes that revealed an innate caution.
"You mean Medical Saint Yun Gu?" he said hesitantly, his hands still close to the weapon hanging at his waist.
Xichen nodded calmly, his features showing no particular expression, but his natural royal aura caused tension and fear in the group.
"Although we don't know his exact location, it seems he has been active in this area recently," one of the girls said nervously, with a slight blush on her face. "If you go to Blackwood Stronghold or the Grandwake Clan, you might be able to get precise information about his whereabouts. They are the rulers of the Blackwood Mountain Range, and if he is still in the Blackwood Mountain Range, they should know his location, or if he has left, they can guide you to the path he took."
Xichen smiled faintly—that faint smile that never reached his eyes—but he thanked them with a simple nod of his head before turning to leave.
"W-wait!" the girl suddenly said, hesitating for a moment before raising her voice. "This area is full of dangerous beasts, and if you intend to head directly to Blackwood Stronghold, the route from here will take at least two days, not to mention that... not everyone comes out of there alive."
Xichen stopped for a moment, then turned with a sideways glance: "Who said I was walking?"
As he spoke, his body began to rise into the sky quietly before turning into an arrow of light and shooting off through the heavens.
"S... Sky Profound Realm..." one of the group murmured with a terrified expression, as the Sky Profound Realm was a legendary existence in their small sect, reached only by the grand sect leader.
"He's also young, and with that aura of his... it seems we have encountered a prince from one of the great empires," a girl said, staring at the sky where Xichen had vanished, with misty eyes.
"His identity doesn't matter now," said one of the group, who appeared to be the leader. "Have you forgotten our goal? We need to eliminate a Profound Beast at the True Profound Realm to earn contribution points for the upcoming inner sect examination."
At that moment, the traces of Xichen's energy faded from the sky, leaving behind a faint swirl of shimmering wind, as if the heavens themselves had bowed to his passage.
As for the group that remained on the ground, they slowly regained their focus, but the shadows of awe did not completely disappear from their eyes.
