Chapter 690: Secret of the Mountain Valley

Translator: CKtalon Editor: CKtalon

Inside Myriad Flower Palace, Qin Yun, Hou Yi, Kong Xuan, and Goumang were enjoying the fine wine as they split the treasures. Strictly speaking, Qin Yun was just watching the other three split the treasures.

“Just do as we agreed upon previously. The corpses of other-universe experts will be Brother Qin Yun’s. As for the remaining treasures... Hou Yi will get half. The remaining half will be split equally between me and Goumang,” said Kong Xuan with a smile. “Everyone is aware of what treasures there are, so feel free to say what you want.”

“I want that silver boat,” said Hou Yi.

“Then I’ll take the Nine Netherworld Ship,” said Goumang.

“Palatial Lord Myriad Flower’s tree branch will be mine,” Kong Xuan said with a chuckle.

They were in an extremely good mood.

The had reaped immense benefits on this expedition; just the Connate Cardinal treasures alone reached six! They were the Nine Netherworld Ship, Demon Saber, the silver boat, the branch, the Roots of the World, and Essence Fiend Column. It was a weapon of Mochen’s, but as he was afraid of Kong Xuan’s treasure-snatching ability, he hadn’t used it.

Even while he was fleeing, he did not use it since it wasn’t meant for defense. When Qin Yun checked the Mochen’s remains, he discovered this huge Essence Fiend Column.

There were also other treasures of all sorts.

After all, Qin Yun and company had dealt with three half-step Heavenly Dao realm experts who were hunters that entrenched themselves in the spatial tide for ages. The loot they received was naturally astounding.

Compared to Fate, all Qin Yun and company did was kill three of the envoys who were under Fate’s control. If they had killed Fate himself... the rewards they received would be astounding.

...

Palatial Lord Myriad Flower’s strength was completely sealed as he sat silently to the side and watched his captors split the treasures.

“All my years of treasures gained from killing other-universe experts are all gone,” thought Palatial Lord Myriad Flower. “The memento that allows entry into the mountain valley has been taken by them as well. However, they can’t identify the memento or know what’s special about it.”

Palatial Lord Myriad Flower felt vexed.

The treasures that he had relied on had been snatched. Even his fate was in the hands of the four people in front of him.

“Brother Qin Yun, are you envious?” Kong Xuan quipped.

Qin Yun sipped at his wine. “Don’t mind me. Take your time splitting the treasures.”

Goumang laughed. “Just say it if there’s anything you want. It’s all negotiable.”

“Right, Brother Qin Yun, you can use the corpse of that expert for exchange,” said Kong Xuan with a chuckle.

“As long as you are willing to exchange that half-step Heavenly Dao expert of the physical lineage’s corpse, I will offer any of these treasures for your consideration,” said Hou Yi as well.

Qin Yun continued drinking as he ignored the jesting.

“We are done splitting the treasures,” said Kong Xuan. “We sure reaped quite a good harvest this time. Shall we return now?”

“Yes.” Hou Yi nodded. “I have a nagging feeling that the ones who came to kill us were specially targeting us. Touch pitch and you shall be defiled. Although we aren’t weak, who knows if we might meet someone who’s perfectly suited to deal with us. Let’s return before that happens. Brother Qin Yun still needs to transcend the tribulations.”

“The six come from Bohan Island.” The sealed Palatial Lord Myriad Flower finally spoke. “Regardless if they were targeting you or not, by killing experts from Bohan Island, they will definitely not let the matter rest.”

“Won’t let the matter rest?” Qin Yun and company looked at him.

“The one with the extremely strong body is the Third Supremacy of Bohan Island,” said Palatial Lord Myriad Flower with a scoff. “There are a total of nine Supremacies under Bohan Island Lord. They are all about the same strength as the Third Supremacy and are good at various skill sets.”

“What? Nine?” Qin Yun and company were somewhat alarmed.

“Are you so easily frightened?”

Palatial Lord Myriad Flower scoffed. “Bohan Island’s strongest entity is the Island Lord! Bohan Island Lord is one of the strongest existences in this vast spatial tide. He has reigned supreme in it since time immemorial and is truly invincible. Those Supremacies were all captured by him to do his bidding as their lives are in his hands. Some other-universe experts end up refined into puppet weapons, just like the five envoys who were responsible for setting up the array... They no longer have any free will and were simply weapons.

“Bohan Island has nine Supremacies, seventeen Combat Generals, fifty-two envoys. All of them are under the Island Lord’s control,” said Palatial Lord Myriad Flower. “And from what I know, Island Lord’s strength is probably equal to that of the true Heavenly Dao realm.”

Qin Yun and company were astounded when they heard that.

“How is it possible?” Goumang refused to believe. Even Hou Yi’s offensive means reached the might of the Heavenly Dao realm. A real Heavenly Dao realm existence had a lot more means available to them.

“Why is it not possible?” Palatial Lord Myriad Flower scoffed. “You claim it’s impossible just because you haven’t seen it?”

“Only those beneath the Heavenly Dao realm can enter the spatial tide. No matter how strong the Island Lord is, he’s not at the Heavenly Dao realm,” said Kong Xuan solemnly.

“You have to know that all the powerful subordinates he has were all caught alive by him. Without sufficient strength, how could he capture them alive? For example, the four of you had to work together to slay the Third Supremacy. You were unable to capture him alive,” said Palatial Lord Myriad Flower. “However, he can. Furthermore, he has captured many! There were many other-universe experts that were of no use to him, so they were directly killed.”

Qin Yun and company exchanged looks.

Yes.

Mochen’s body was extremely powerful and impossible to restrain or imprison! All they could do was rely on Hou Yi’s arrows to slowly shoot him to death.

Just capturing Mochen alive and being able to determine his fate was something that left Qin Yun and company wary. Furthermore, there were a total of nine Supremacies.

“By killing the Third Supremacy, you will definitely garner the attention of Bohan Island Lord. He will soon come personally,” said Palatial Lord Myriad Flower. “As long as you kill his subordinates, it’s impossible to escape Bohan Island’s pursuit. They have special tracking abilities.

“As long as you agree to let me live,” said Palatial Lord Myriad Flower with a smile. “I’ll help you. I’m good at array formations. As long as I control Myriad Flower Palace, I’ll be able to keep him embroiled in battle. With the four of you defending... we will hold the absolute advantage inside Myriad Flower Palace. I believe we would be able to survive.”

He was an array formation expert at the half-step Heavenly Dao realm. He was able to make full use of his terrain advantage while in his lair.

“You can leave a contingency in my soul,” said Palatial Lord Myriad Flower. “I wouldn’t dare betray you.”

“Help us?” Qin Yun and company exchanged looks.

“Yes, I’m willing provide you will the fullest extent of my help as long as you are agreeable and let me leave after this,” said Palatial Lord Myriad Flower. “I just want a promise from you. Of course, you will have to give me a few ordinary array formation treasures to protect myself.”

At their level...

They would not easily make a binding agreement for they had to deliver on their promises.

Be it in the Three Realms or the other universes... the weak could lie without any qualms. However, the stronger one was, the more attention they had on their promises. Only experts of very rare cultivation systems could lie blatantly.

However, Palatial Lord Myriad Flower believed that the four would not break their promise if they made it. To have all four break their promise was just too improbable.

“This silver boat has astounding speed. Our homeworld’s Chaos spatial rift is rather nearby,” said Kong Xuan with a smile. “We can immediately return by taking the silver boat! I believe this so-called Bohan Island Lord will need time to rush here. We would probably be back before he reaches us.

“When we are back in our homeworld, let’s see if this so-called Bohan Island Lord will dare continue his pursuit!” Kong Xuan scoffed. “As for you? We will bring you along with us. If Bohan Island Lord really chases up to us, we can give you a chance to live then.”

Palatial Lord Myriad Flower had a nasty expression.

Return as fast as possible?

The silver boat was indeed fast, and could possibly allow them to escape safe and sound. Then, he would be of no use. He would then become meat on a chopping board when he entered the homeworld of the four experts.

“Let’s leave quickly. This Bohan Island doesn’t appear to be something we should mess with,” said Goumang.

“Hold on.”

Palatial Lord Myriad Flower said through gritted teeth, “I know the location of Illusion Fiend Mountain Valley.”

Illusion Fiend Mountain Valley?” Qin Yun and company were somewhat puzzled.

“What’s that?” inquired Kong Xuan.

Palatial Lord Myriad Flower did not leave them hanging as he said immediately, “Those who are in the know after prolonged traveling in the spatial tide would typically have heard the legend of Illusion Fiend Mountain Valley. It’s a mysterious mountain valley hidden in the spatial tide. It draws upon the strength of the spatial tide and grows three types of divine fruits that can drive any expert crazy for them.”

“The three divine fruits are Soul Heart Fruit, Chaos Origins Fruit, and Spirit Enlightening Fruit,” said Palatial Lord Myriad Flower. “They sound ordinary, but they had extremely magical effects. A Soul Heart Fruit can instantly restore one’s soul. Even if one burns their soul to the point of requiring deep sleep, just consuming one Soul Heart Fruit would be sufficient to rejuvenate one to their peak condition.

“While fighting with enemies while burning the soul, a Soul Heart Fruit can allow one to burn their souls twice in a life-and-death battle.

“The Chaos Origins Fruit is even more magical! As long as one consumes it, they can nurture a second avatar without causing any damage to themselves,” said Palatial Lord Myriad Flower. “You should know that typical avatar arts would damage the person in question. But this Chaos Origins Fruit allows one to produce an avatar of equal strength without causing any damage. This is akin to having a second life!”

“The Spirit Enlightening Fruit can allow one to have an epiphany immediately. It will allow one to benefit greatly. Those who are stuck at bottlenecks would have chances of breaking through to a higher realm after consuming one Spirit Enlightening Fruit.

“These three divine fruits are coveted by all the experts in the spatial tide.”

Palatial Lord Myriad Flower ended with the following: “And I can lead you there!”
