"Master, what do you wish to say?"
Su Chen had a vague idea of Yue Dongbei’s intentions and boldly asked.
Yue Dongbei gave a knowing smile, thinking to himself that this child was indeed clever, "I have just stepped into the Beast Demon level. In theory, I should take on the important responsibility of revitalizing the Carefree Sect and lead everyone further in the righteous path. However, now is not the time. Su Chen, you should know that Cultivation Techniques are divided into levels. The ’Purple Mist Celestial Book’ I cultivate is at the third tier, but after entering the Beast Demon level, it can no longer adapt to the cultivation of more advanced skills, so..."
"So, Master, you have to go searching for an advanced Cultivation Technique."
Yue Dongbei nodded solemnly, "Exactly. The hundred-year foundation of the Carefree Sect cannot be destroyed by my hands. Relying solely on you all to hold out in the battle four years from now is far from enough. If other sects unite against us then, our Carefree Sect will face a great crisis. I absolutely cannot let this happen under my watch. Hence, I plan to search for a fourth, even a fifth-tier Cultivation Technique to continue my advancement."
"But Master, where can you find a fourth or fifth-tier Cultivation Technique? These are rare treasures that even the empire would find hard to secure for millions in gold!"
Su Chen said worriedly.
Yue Dongbei chuckled, shaking his head, "If we only search within our Auslan Empire, naturally, it will be impossible. We might even waste half our lives. However, if we venture to the Divine-Demon Ruins, the chances of finding it are significantly higher."
"The Divine-Demon Ruins?"
Su Chen was stunned upon hearing this, taking a while to react.
"Yes, the Divine-Demon Ruins, a legendary place where a large number of Beast Gods and Beast Demons gathered in ancient times. Due to a cataclysmic battle, they were all annihilated, leaving many mystical treasures behind, yet for thousands of years, very few have been able to retrieve such treasures!"
Yue Dongbei explained with a hint of helplessness.
Suppressing his inner excitement, Su Chen tried to make his expression calm but still showed a hint of nervousness, "Then Master, where is the Divine-Demon Ruins located?"
"I don’t know the exact location either. It’s said the only person in the world who has entered the Divine-Demon Ruins has already cultivated into a Beast God and ascended to the universe. We mere mortals cannot trace his whereabouts."
"Then is it not like finding a needle in a haystack for Master to go searching for the Divine-Demon Ruins?"
Su Chen said in disappointment.
Yue Dongbei sighed with a smile, shaking his head, "For a cultivator, the first thing to pursue is talent, second is perseverance, and lastly is opportunity. As your master, I possess a little of the first two, but as for opportunity, I have never encountered it. In the blink of an eye, I am already over fifty. If I don’t try now, I’m afraid I will never have the chance to become a Beast Demon before I die. Su Chen, I specially called you here today to ask you to promise me one thing."
"What is it, Master? As long as the disciple can do it, I will do my utmost!"
Su Chen’s expression turned respectful again.
"Four years from now, you must win the battle on behalf of your Master! If I manage to return in time, I will not allow anyone to bully us at our doorstep. If I am unable to return, it means my opportunities were not fortuitous, and perhaps in this life, I may never have the chance to become a more powerful Beast Cultivator. Then even if the lineage of the Carefree Sect declines, perhaps it is destiny!"
Su Chen trembled violently. In his eyes toward Yue Dongbei, a look of astonishment gradually emerged. He never thought that his master would regard cultivation as so important, even more than the sect itself. But this also means one thing: whether it’s an individual or a sect, it is directly related to absolute strength!
He suppressed his inner turmoil and nodded solemnly, "I will, Master. No matter what, I will do my utmost to win the competition. I also hope Master can achieve his wishes soon!"
Yue Dongbei smiled with relief, soon adding, "Su Chen, come here. I have something to give you."
Su Chen’s heart skipped a beat, thinking to himself, could it be like what Master Mother gave me before, another secret manual of the wind attribute? Thinking of this, his heart raced, and even his hands began to tremble slightly.
Yue Dongbei glanced at his expression, smiled, then lifted the bed sheet beneath him to reveal a roughly three-foot square brocade box. The brocade box was placed on his knees, and Su Chen stood dazed, not daring to step closer.
"This is one of the three major mystical treasures handed down through generations of the Carefree Sect, called the Wind Soaring Wings. Today, I pass it on to you, hoping you will not disappoint both your Master and all your fellow disciples."
The corners of Su Chen’s mouth twitched, an absurd thought surfaced: could this be a treasure capable of flight?
Just as he thought, Yue Dongbei smiled lightly, "You’re right, the Wind Soaring Wings is indeed a flight-capable superior Spiritual Treasure. Even in the world, it is a one-of-a-kind gem!"
Su Chen was taken aback all of a sudden.
A superior Spiritual Treasure? After giving away a superior Spiritual Artifact, now he received a superior Spiritual Treasure; could fate be this kind to him? Knowing that a superior Spiritual Artifact is worth hundreds or thousands in gold, while from the lesser Spiritual Treasures, their value increases almost exponentially. This superior Spiritual Treasure, could it be priceless and unmarketable?
"Master, this is too valuable, I cannot accept it!"
Su Chen trembled with fear, trying to refuse.
Yue Dongbei seemed to have anticipated his reaction, and with a flip of his hand, a gust of wind sent the brocade box straight into Su Chen’s arms, "This is your Master’s token of goodwill, and a thank you for your service to the Carefree Sect. Accept it, otherwise, I will not leave with peace of mind."
