Chapter 821: Yiyun, Yishen

The Heavenly Star Palace was led by a middle aged expert who had a skinny face, huge ears, and sported a black beard. It was the first time he was entering the Celestial Remains and he extended his divine will the moment he entered.

After hearing what Shen Baisong said, the middle aged expert chuckled, “Martial Nephew Shen, are old friends Luo and Xu really feeling so assured to send you and several juniors?”

Shen Baisong glanced at Yi Jingzi who stood behind the middle aged expert and chuckled, “Martial Uncle Jingxu, Ancestor Xu once informed me that I was only here to expand my horizons. There will be no need for me to go all out and fight. As for the Origin Holy Artifact... He told me that I shouldn\'t bother going for it.”

Yi Jingxu nodded slowly. “Brother Luo thought far ahead indeed. All of us are really far from comparable. Our Heavenly Star Palace has a task we need to complete here and if you have nothing much, why don’t you help us out?”

“Is your Heavenly Star Palace aiming for the Origin Holy Artifact?” Shen Baisong’s expression changed slightly and he asked.

Yi Jingxu chuckled softly in response. “The 4 Elysiusms sent out more than 10 Martial Dipper Realm experts for this. With the other alliances of various factions, a good number of people have their eyes on the Origin Holy Artifact. Even though I’m not as smart as Brother Luo, I’m not willing to be dragged into that mess. Our Heavenly Star Palace is aiming for something else.”

Only then did Shen Baisong heave a sigh of relief. A smile returned to his face. “The Heavenly Star Palace has always maintained a great relationship with my Changbai Sect. Since Martial Uncle Jingxu made the request, I find no reason to reject it.”

Yi Jingxu was overjoyed with his answer. “With Martial Nephew Shen and the disciples of the Changbai Sect, my Heavenly Star Palace will possess a good chance to obtain what we set out to do. I would like to express my thanks and my Heavenly Star Palace will owe your Changbai Sect one after this.”

Shen Baison was slightly moved, and he replied in haste, “Martial Uncle Jingxu, you’re too kind. With yourself and Junior Sister Jingzi present, you don’t need additional help. I should be the one thanking you instead for bringing me alone...”

Yu Jingxu waved his hand and grunted, “Sigh... Martial Nephew Shen, there’s no need to act so formally...”

Yi Jingzi finally interrupted, “If you two continue to act humbly and thank each other, the others are going to get all the benefits here!”

Yi Jingxu roared with laughter. “It’s alright. They will be attracted to the Origin Holy Artifact and even if there are some who think like us, they won’t be able to match the alliance of our Heavenly Star Palace and the Changbai Sect!”

Shen Baisong finally moved the topic back to the main question and he asked, “Martial Uncle Jingxu, can you tell me what we’re aiming for this time?”

Yi Jingxu’s expression turned solemn and he eventually muttered, “It’s the Star Observatory!”

“Star Observatory?” Shen Baisong mumbled to himself. He seemed to discover the connection between the Star Observatory and the Heavenly Star Palace and his eyes widened in shock. “Could it be...”

Yi Jingxu didn’t need to say anything as Yi Jingzi started speaking in his stead. “Let’s talk along the way. Even though we feel like no one will set their sights on the Star Observatory, we can’t stay here the entire time and chitchat. The earlier we find it, the better. Moreover, there should be others attempting to enter...”

“Relax... So what if the other factions find the Star Observatory? Without a Stargazer inheritance, they won’t know what the observatory is used for anyway!” Yi Jingxu chuckled.

He might be trying to reassure them, but all of them started to hurry in a certain direction under Yi Jingzi’s persuasion.

...

Shang Xia had long since familiarized himself with the Celestial Remains. It was a shame the void was too weak. Many traps and dangerous regions appeared as he made his way along and affected his speed even further.

He needed to avoid the experts of other factions while he was at it to prevent being dragged into the chaotic battles that were bound to happen. He had to slow down even further. Without mentioning the fact that he had to take massive detours sometimes, he would have to pay attention to how he concealed himself. He also had to ensure no one could catch his trail.

Of course, things never went as planned. Someone still managed to discover his presence as he made his way over.

Actually, they didn’t discover who he was exactly. Instead, they managed to learn that there was someone sneaking around with their special treasure. The person who discovered him was Yiyun of the Eternal Palace.

“Who’s there?! Why are you acting so sneakily?!” Yiyun roared and she tossed a bell in Shang Xia’s direction.

Ding, ding, ding...

Clear ringing sounds sent soundwaves through the region and caused the space around them to tremble. It revealed the presence of a five colored ball.

“Oh? Hall Master Shang of the Tongyou Institution. I wonder what brings you here?”

Everyone in the Azure Ascension World knew that a five colored light was Shang Xia’s signature. Yiyun determined his identity the moment the ball of light was revealed.

Knowing that he wasn’t going to weasel his way out of it, he decided to reveal himself. After all, trying to sneak away at that point would definitely raise some suspicions. He cupped his fists at Yiyun and the disciples of the Eternal Palace and laughed, “Apologies... I was only planning to pass through the area and I mean no harm. I am sorry for alerting all of you. I shall take my leave now, goodbye!”

He turned around and transformed into a streak of light to leave.

Who would have thought that Yiyun would take several steps and shrink the distance between herself and Shang Xia? With a soft chuckle, he continued, “Since Hall Master Shang Xia is here, is there a need to leave so quickly? Actually, I have several questions I’ve been meaning to ask and I wonder if you’re willing to enlighten me on some matters...”

Unwilling to clash directly with the Eternal Palace, Shang Xia glanced at Yiyun and the Martial Extermination Realm members behind him before speaking in a low voice, “I wonder what Elder Yiyun wishes to ask?”

Seeing as Shang Xia wasn’t running, Yiyun no longer pushed closer. She maintained a suitable distance and asked, “Hall Master Shang, since you’re not here for my Eternal Palace, can I ask where you wish to go?”

Shooting them a deep gaze, Shang Xia maintained his indifferent expression. “I was running around aimlessly to find opportunities.”

The corners of Yiyun’s lips curled upwards and she revealed a mocking smile. “Hall Master Shang, do you really think I’ll believe that?”

“Well, believe whatever you want. Why do I have to prove what I’m saying?” Shang Xia spoke calmly.

To that, Yiyun snorted, “Right. Where are the Martial Extermination Realm experts who came with you into the Celestial Remains? Why have you left them behind to act alone? Aren’t you afraid that they will be completely wiped out without the protection of a Martial Dipper Realm expert?”

A frown formed on Shang Xia’s face and he mumbled, “Every faction is responsible for their actions. We don’t need others to teach us what to do. Elder Yiyun, you seem to have overstepped your boundaries. If you are going to ask pointless questions like this, I won’t be entertaining you any longer.”

The light beneath his feet flashed as he attempted to pull away from Yiyun.

Yiyun clearly wasn’t planning to let Shang Xia leave so easily. Taking another step, the space beneath him shrank as he closed in on Shang Xia.

With a cold sneer, Shang Xia started to act in order to get rid of Yiyun’s pursuit.

Who would have thought that the Martial Extermination Realm experts who were standing behind Yiyun earlier to rush him the next moment?

“Oh no!” Shang Xia’s expression sank. The Five Element Ring that had been beneath his feet earlier turned into a spatula gate and he tumbled into it, disappearing from sight.

The second he disappeared, an expert who wore an indifferent expression, appeared. He stood directly in Shang Xia’s supposed escape route.

“Huh?” Yiyun gasped and he rang the bell in his hands again. With the chimes of the bell, layers of space started to fluctuate violently around him before spreading out rapidly.

Countless miles away, a faint spatial ripple appeared. A five colored light emerged, and a spatial gate soon formed. Shang Xia’s sorry figure tumbled through it.

As the five colored light emerged, the spatial disturbance around was quelled. Yiyun’s expression flickered slightly.

Shooting Yiyun a glance, Shang Xia eventually turned to look at the expert who appeared at the last second. He asked, “How should I address you?”

Even though the expert who appeared seemed to be in the Martial Extermination Realm, he cupped his fists in Shang Xia’s direction and muttered, “I am Yishen of the Eternal Palace!”
