Guan Yue stood up very politely and bowed deeply to Mo Huatian, saying, "Senior, I, Guan Yue, pay my respects to you."
Mo Huatian was taken aback, while the Western Celestial Law Ancestor laughed heartily and said, "Guan Yue, from now on, just call him Brother Tianhua. He is also a senior, and so am I; that way it won't be confusing."
"Respecting your wishes, then I will call you Brother Tianhua," Guan Yue bowed again.
Mo Tianhua looked embarrassed and said, "No need to be polite; let's keep it casual. I'm not one for formalities."
Mo Tianhua's honest words made both the Western Celestial Law Ancestor and Guan Yue unable to hold back their laughter. Guan Yue found Mo Tianhua very simple and adorable, genuinely liking his innocence.
Following the Western Celestial Law Ancestor's request, Guan Yue spent another month in the Origin Qi Pool. During this month, Mo Tianhua made remarkable progress in his cultivation, breaking through from the Peak of Guardian Realm to the Miraculous Realm. Soon after, he advanced from the Initial Stage of the Marvelous Realm to Mid-Level Wonder. Less than three days after reaching Mid-Level Wonder, he continued to break through to the Supreme Wonder Realm. Finally, before they set off, he reached the Pinnacle of the Marvelous Realm.
Every time Mo Tianhua broke through, there would be natural phenomena; his voice resonated through the heavens and his aura shook the earth. Even Guan Yue secretly marveled: although they were both in the Miraculous Realm, the commotion caused by his breakthroughs was much greater than that of his master.
They finally began their journey back to the Southern Source Empire.
Guan Yue had spent several months in the Origin of Magic, during which his body underwent significant changes; even his personality subtly shifted, taking on a hint of magical essence. However, he was unaware of this.
The greatest gain was that his Essence had reached over twelve thousand drops. Yet in others' eyes, he still appeared to be at the Peak of the Human Realm. Nevertheless, Guan Yue's actual cultivation had made tremendous progress; his Combat Power had risen sharply and was even comparable to that of a Boundary Keeper's Disciple.
With Mo Tianhua as a Miraculous Master protecting them, they were not in a hurry on their return journey. The Western Celestial Law Ancestor also wanted to impart some life philosophies to Mo Tianhua. Therefore, whenever they arrived at a bustling place, they would linger for a while to let Mo Tianhua experience different cultures and customs and see various landscapes of the world.
Under the guidance of the Western Celestial Law Ancestor, Mo Tianhua began to integrate into human society. Meanwhile, Guan Yue and Gao Yuxin learned many principles and life skills they had never considered before. Their understanding of this world broadened significantly.
One day, they entered Qihacheng, a large city closest to the border of the Vast Empire and Southern Source Empire.
This was a city that left a lasting impression; even upon seeing Qihacheng's urban development, the Western Celestial Law Ancestor couldn't help but exclaim: "A masterpiece of humanity, perfectly natural!"
The greatest feature of this city is that no matter where you come from, regardless of your cultivation level, beliefs, or race, you can quickly integrate into the city. This is an open city, a city full of passion. The security within the city is very well organized; as long as you follow the city rules, you can go anywhere. With enough money, you can even visit the highest point in the city. The Western Celestial Law Ancestor took Mo Tianhua to admire the view from the highest point.
Inside the city, there are schools, casinos, theaters, taverns and tea houses, brothels and flower streets, various training classes, multiple practice grounds, dueling arenas, and even charity houses established for the poor to provide food for those in need.
Numerous bustling trading halls and many small vendors set up stalls create a lively atmosphere that adds warmth to the city.
After coming down from the highest point, the Western Celestial Law Ancestor led Mo Tianhua into the trading area. The Western Celestial Law Ancestor stood on Mo Tianhua's shoulder and whispered real-time education into his ear while Guan Yue followed closely behind them, listening attentively and learning carefully. This knowledge would prove to be very useful in the future.
Suddenly, Guan Yue noticed a very peculiar stone. Using his perspective ability, he discovered that there was a medicinal tree inside the stone. At that moment, Gao Yuxin also noticed it: "Brother Guan, there is a medicinal tree inside this stone. I believe it is an ancient rare tree called Red-Topped Grass, which is on par with Red-Headed Grass."
"What use does it have?" Guan Yue asked.
"I know that Red-Headed Grass is a sacred medicine for cultivation; every Disciple wants to obtain it. It is said to assist in the cultivation process and speed up progress for twice the result with half the effort. As for this Red-Topped Grass, I'm not too sure because I don't have any relevant information in my files," Gao Yuxin explained seriously to Guan Yue as always.
"Oh. It's a sacred medicine?" Guan Yue was curious and tried to ask: "Old man, how much do you sell this stone for?"
"This stone is only good-looking; just give me two Iron-colored Rubies," replied the vendor without much hesitation. Guan Yue was overjoyed and immediately took out two Iron-colored Rubies to exchange for the stone. These two Iron-colored Rubies were originally given to him as samples by Na Dong and Na Xi.
Immediately after, Guan Yue rushed to catch up with the Western Celestial Law Ancestor.
At that moment, Mo Huatian was arguing with someone else.
Someone wanted to buy the Western Celestial Law Ancestor's Red-Furred Monkey! They were very eager to purchase this Red-Furred Monkey. However, since the Red-Furred Monkey belonged to his grandfather, how could it be sold? Thus, Mo Huatian refused to back down and started a heated argument with this person.
Guan Yue approached and saw that it was a Disciple around thirty years old, dressed extravagantly and acting arrogantly. He hurled insults at Mo Huatian and spoke boastfully while trying to intimidate him.
"This Red-Furred Monkey is so adorable; I want it. Whether you sell it or not, it's mine. You foolish kid better not refuse my offer; otherwise, you'll regret it later." The man wore a yellow brocade robe, clearly indicating he was a member of the Royal Family. Therefore, those around encouraged Mo Tianhua to sell the Red-Furred Monkey for a higher price.
It turned out this person wanted to buy the Red-Furred Monkey as a gift for his lover. He believed this Red-Furred Monkey would surely please her; hence he was willing to spend heavily on it. However, Mo Tianhua remained unmoved by his words and refused to listen no matter what he said. This infuriated the man who then attempted to take action against Mo Tianhua.
Upon taking another look, Guan Yue noticed that there were actually more than ten subordinates standing in the shadows, all of whom were experts from the Guardian Realm. Guan Yue understood that at this moment, the Western Celestial Law Ancestor could not speak up, and Mo Tianhua, lacking experience, could only look to him for guidance.
Guan Yue stepped forward and smiled at the man, saying, "Sir, please do not be angry. You may not know this, but this monkey is sick. Have you not noticed? Its bottom is already bright red, its fur is on fire, and its complexion is abnormal; it has lost control of its bowels. We were just about to take it to a great healer to see if there is any way to treat it. It cannot be bought, so I hope you will calm your anger."
At that moment, the Western Celestial Law Ancestor cooperated perfectly by letting out a foul-smelling fart that filled the air with a stench that spread far and wide. The rude man glanced at the Red-Furred Monkey again and finally realized that something was wrong with it, thus abandoning his intention to purchase the monkey. However, he became very interested in Guan Yue: "Young friend, where do you come from?"
"May I ask your esteemed name?" Guan Yue initiated the conversation with great respect.
"My surname is Du; I am Du Pengyang, the son of the lord of Qihacheng." Young Master Du said proudly, as his father was indeed the city lord, which was a source of pride for him. This was the pride of a second-generation official.
"Oh, it turns out you are Young Master Du. I have long admired you." Over the past year, Guan Yue had grown quite a bit taller and appeared to be around fourteen or fifteen years old. He now presented himself as a young man and looked quite handsome.
"Do you know Du Diwei?" Upon hearing the surname Du, Guan Yue couldn't help but ask again. His inner resentment towards Du Diwei made this question slip out.
"Do you know Young Master Du?" The man's expression toward Guan Yue turned slightly unfriendly. Guan Yue secretly blamed himself for being too talkative and replied, "Just an acquaintance; I wanted to know how he has been doing."
However, this only made the man pay more attention to Guan Yue. He signaled his subordinates to keep a close watch on Guan Yue. Noticing his gaze, Guan Yue realized that he had aroused suspicion.
"This young friend, would you like to come to our castle for a chat? We can discuss Young Master Du Diwei's matters in detail," the man began to clearly provoke Guan Yue. His attitude revealed significant malice as his Origin Energy began to stir; he was preparing to take action.
At this moment, the Western Celestial Law Ancestor transmitted a message to Guan Yue: "Let's go outside; we will take action."
Guan Yue replied, "Alright then, I will accompany Young Master Du." He secretly admired Du Pengyang's quick reaction.
As soon as they reached the street, Du Pengyang's subordinates surrounded Guan Yue and Mo Tianhua.
Du Pengyang chuckled and said, "Kid, you must be Guan Yue! You are currently from Southern Source Empire's Qilin Academy? I just received a message from Young Master Du Diwei; you came running here yourself and even introduced yourself! How foolish of you! It's truly surprising that Young Master Du Diwei thinks so highly of you. You are unworthy!"
After saying this, he turned around and instructed his subordinates: "Come here; tie him up and send him immediately to Wandering City to deliver him to Young Master Du Diwei. Tell him that I captured him. Hurry back; I have other matters for you to attend to."
After saying that, he didn't even glance at Guan Yue again and turned to leave.
"Everyone, stand back. The city enforcement team is now taking action." With a shout, Du Pengyang's ten followers exerted their strength together, instantly forming a Torrential Rain formation, which tightly enclosed Guan Yue and Mo Tianhua. The formation completely isolated them from the outside world. This was to maintain the city's image and prevent the citizens from witnessing the lord's cruelty.
Guan Yue and Mo Tianhua exchanged glances, and both exerted their strength to attack the formation of ten people, driving them back over a hundred meters. Within this range, Guan Yue immediately summoned the Sky Peak Tower. Under Guan Yue's control, the Sky Peak Tower began to expand rapidly, and both Guan Yue and Mo Tianhua quickly entered it. As the Sky Peak Tower broke through the formation, it soared into the clouds and drifted away into the distance.
The Sky Peak Tower!
It truly is the Sky Peak Tower!
The ten Boundary Guardians were momentarily stunned: how could the Sky Peak Tower appear here? Could it really be in the hands of that young man?
The appearance of the Sky Peak Tower would cause a sensation throughout the martial world! The Sky Peak Tower was the renowned work of Ancient Master of Forging Mo Jiao, possessing earth-shattering and soul-stirring capabilities, and had been missing for over ten thousand years. How could it be in the hands of this young man?
This young man is called Guan Yue? From Southern Source Empire's Qilin Academy?
Upon hearing his subordinates' report, Du Pengyang did not hesitate at all and immediately reported this matter to the emperor of Wandering City and Young Master Du Diwei.
The entire martial world was truly shaken by this news: the Sky Peak Tower has reappeared!
And every time the Sky Peak Tower appears, it is accompanied by bloodshed and chaos! This has always been the case, without exception!
