Enduring humiliation for three years, seizing the elixir, the treasure, and the holy maiden.

In my opinion...

"Why don't we go out first?"

"This underground palace is too eerie."

"Wouldn't it be safer to come back after you've fully recovered?"

Jiang Shiyu shook her head.

"go out?"

Her usually cool and aloof brows furrowed slightly.

"How could you even think of that?"

"did you know."

Jiang Shiyu picked up a small pebble from beside her feet and casually tossed it into the darkness.

After a long while, there was still no sound of it hitting the ground.

"This temple."

"They've been appearing in Tian Shu Star City for over a month now."

"In the past month or so, countless people have flocked to it."

"But no one has ever been to such a deep place."

Jiang Shiyu paused.

"This time, it's the deepest."

"They've gone out."

"This opportunity will never come again."

Su Chen was stunned for a moment.

These words piqued his interest.

"elder sister."

Su Chen moved forward slightly.

"There is one thing I don't understand."

"All the cultivators in this city are risking their lives to fill this tunnel."

"What exactly is the goal?"

Jiang Shiyu glanced at him.

There were two words written in those eyes.

ignorance.

"You don't even know this?"

"You dare to call yourself the number one person below the Void Refinement Realm?"

Su Chen wasn't annoyed.

He just smiled and looked at her.

Jiang Shiyu felt a little uncomfortable under his gaze.

He coughed lightly before slowly opening his mouth.

"Do you know the biggest difference between a Body Integration Grandmaster and a Void Refinement Grandmaster?"

Su Chen shook his head.

"A master of the Void Refinement Realm".

Jiang Shiyu held the torn hem of her skirt.

"To be able to create a small world and establish one's own dojo."

"But that little world cannot be moved."

"But the combined powerhouses are different."

Jiang Shiyu lowered her voice slightly.

"The Realm of Integration".

"The little world that I can create for myself."

"Carry it with you wherever you go."

Su Chen's heart skipped a beat.

Can you carry it with you?

"This temple."

Jiang Shiyu raised her eyes and looked at the dark top of her head.

"Look, it's Tian Shu Star City, it just appeared out of nowhere."

"In fact."

"This is most likely the same kind of powerful being who achieved the Fusion Realm a thousand years ago, like Master Hongfu."

"A small world that was created long ago."

"Now, it's just unfolding here in Tian Shu Star City."

Su Chen remained silent.

He hadn't expected there to be such a trick to it.

"It is a small world that was created a thousand years ago."

Jiang Shiyu paused, a hint of heat appearing on her usually cool face.

"Over the past thousand years..."

"Master Hongfu, how many treasures must you have hidden here?"

"Just one item slipped out."

"It's more than enough for us, we'll never run out of things to enjoy."

Su Chen touched his chin.

That's what I meant.

That makes sense.

only.

Su Chen, however, began to have doubts.

Is what this girl is saying true or false?

Even I'm not sure.

But then I thought about it again.

This Jiang Shiyu is a saintess of the Starry Sky Dao Sect.

It's not worth deceiving yourself about something like this.

Furthermore...

She is knowledgeable and well-informed.

That's normal.

Su Chen thought about it and believed it to some extent.

"If that's the case..."

Su Chen stood up and dusted himself off.

"Then let's keep going in."

Jiang Shiyu also stood up.

She glanced at Su Chen.

"Have you figured it out?"

"I've figured it out."

Su Chen nodded.

"but."

Su Chen changed the subject.

"My injury will take another two hours."

"Within these two hours."

"Now, it all depends on you, sister."

Jiang Shiyu smiled.

Those cool and aloof eyebrows curved into two crescent moons.

"rest assured."

"My older sister is here."

"I'll keep it safe; not a single hair on your head will be missing."

The deeper you go, the wider the path becomes.

The stone slabs underfoot have been replaced from the slippery, moss-covered stones to smooth blue bricks.

Su Chen covered his back and followed behind Jiang Shiyu.

The wound was still throbbing slightly.

Fortunately.

The journey was peaceful.

Perhaps it was those two late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators and that stone golem that drew away all the dangers in this area.

Further inside, they didn't encounter anything particularly formidable.

Only occasionally, a few streams of laws would appear to turbulently.

Jiang Shiyu deftly deflected it with that small mirror.

Su Chen walked behind.

He had the leisure to look around.

The stone walls on both sides of this tunnel.

Before anyone knew it, a faint glow began to appear.

The light was dim and faint.

It made the whole road brighter.

Su Chen reached out and touched the stone wall.

It's cold.

It looks more like jade.

"Don't touch me."

Jiang Shiyu, who was in front, turned around and glared at him.

"What if it's some kind of restriction?"

Su Chen reluctantly withdrew his hand.

have to.

This girl really is treating me like a little brother.

I don't know how long we walked.

Suddenly, the road ahead came to an end.

Jiang Shiyu stopped in her tracks.

"arrive."

Her cool voice held a hint of barely suppressed excitement.

"After passing through this door..."

"That should be the end of that drainage tunnel."

Su Chen stepped forward and took a look at the stone door.

A thought stirred within me.

After all that trouble...

We've finally reached the border.

Jiang Shiyu stretched out a hand and gently placed it on the stone door.

A wisp of spiritual energy flowed in.

Rumble.

The stone door opened with a sound.

An intensely rich spiritual energy wafted in from inside the door.

Su Chen took a deep breath.

Good guy.

This spiritual energy.

It's more than ten times richer than what you find outside.

The two exchanged a glance.

They crossed the stone gate, one after the other.

Behind the door.

suddenly see the light.

Su Chen looked up.

Even though he had seen a lot of the world.

This left them stunned on the spot.

A magnificent underground palace that seems to stretch to the horizon.

The roof of that palace was so high that you couldn't see its top.

The stone pillars, each with a coiled dragon shape, were so thick that several people couldn't encircle them, and they stood layer upon layer supporting the roof of the palace.

The stone pillar was inlaid with fist-sized luminous pearls.

It was dimly lit.

The entire hall was illuminated, as bright as day.

The hall was eerily quiet.

"This is..."

Su Chen murmured.

"The place of practice of Master Hongfu?"

Jiang Shiyu stood beside him.

He was also visibly shocked.

Stop dreaming.

Jiang Shiyu pursed her lips.

"this."

"It's just the underground main hall of Master Hongfu's dojo."

Su Chen was stunned for a moment.

"An underground palace?"

"good."

Jiang Shiyu glanced into the depths of the main hall.

"You think this is all the space is for a Nascent Soul cultivator's training ground?"

"This temple is very large."

"Hundreds of floors above."

"That's the place where Master Hongfu truly cultivates, up in the clouds."

Jiang Shiyu's voice lowered slightly.

"She usually stays in seclusion in that cloud-topped pavilion."

"This underground palace."

Jiang Shiyu paused, seemingly considering her choice of words.

To put it bluntly...

"I'm afraid it's just that the Red-Haired Master's storage cellar is insignificant."
