“Tell me, what kind of person is Saint Moyu really? I only know that back then he was deeply devoted to the Red Dust Female Saint!”
Zhong Wei nodded and said, “What you said is only one point. Back then, how numerous were the people who admired the Red Dust Female Saint? Saint Moyu was merely one representative among them. You must know that even Supreme Shunfeng loved her.”
“Speaking of which, Saint Moyu was also a genius. He relied on his family’s foundation, combined with the jade stones he loved, created his own law formula, attained the Dao in one go, reached the strength of a Saint, and awed one region. However, he was also a pitiful person. The Red Dust Female Saint never glanced at him once. In the end, his heart turned to ashes, and he lived alone in a mountain range, nurturing the mountain range’s jade stones. These mountain range jade stones became His Mountain Jade. Rumour has it that when Saint Moyu appeared for the last time, the man had become melancholic and listless, like a walking corpse.” Zhong Wei said, “But if the words of the Flowing Fire Sect Master’s junior brother are true, then the rumours of that year are self-defeating.”
“It is related to the Red Dust Female Saint!” Ye Chu took a deep breath, looked at Zhong Wei and said, “Let’s go, let’s look below the cliff!”
Zhong Wei knew Ye Chu was a Sha Spiritist, and originally had confidence in Ye Chu. But when she reached the cliff, looking up from above at the unfathomable cliff below, seeing the grey turbid qi within rolling like thunder, her heart suddenly jumped. If even this turbid qi was so terrifying, then how dangerous would the Sha qi within be? Even though Ye Chu was a Sha Spiritist, he probably could not withstand it.
“Do we really have to go down?” Zhong Wei felt she should persuade Ye Chu.
“Of course!” Ye Chu knew what Zhong Wei was worried about. He smiled, grabbed Zhong Wei’s hand, and said to her, “Hold my hand tightly. Don’t let go. I’ll take you down.”
After speaking, Ye Chu took Zhong Wei and leaped down towards the bottom.
“Ahh… Ye Chu…” Zhong Wei was startled and screamed.
Ye Chu held Zhong Wei’s hand tightly, ignoring her scream. Very quickly Ye Chu reached the grey qi layer below the cliff. Within this were miasmas and various cold and gloomy auras. Naturally, there was no lack of Sha qi, except that in the qi layer above, the Sha qi was relatively thin. Zhong Wei, within this, could completely rely on her strength to resist.
As Ye Chu continuously went deeper, this thinness gradually became denser. Below, the grey clouds continuously rolled, and between the rolls there were flashes of lightning within, extremely terrifying.
And at this moment, the Sha qi also became increasingly dense. Zhong Wei grew worried, but she saw Ye Chu was fearless of the Sha qi, blocking in front, allowing these Sha qi to enter his body.
The Sha qi rushed into Ye Chu’s body. Ye Chu ignored it and continued forward with Zhong Wei.
“You are not afraid of Sha qi?” Zhong Wei felt Ye Chu was very miraculous.
“Have you not seen me refine and absorb the Teng Snake Sha? I was fearless of that kind of Sha qi, so why would I fear this kind of Sha qi? Rest assured, but you must hold onto me and never let go. Otherwise, you will certainly be invaded by the Sha qi and turned into white bones.”
Ye Chu’s words made Zhong Wei’s heart tremble with fear. She hurriedly held Ye Chu’s hand tightly. Her soft hand in Ye Chu’s hand, Ye Chu also felt very comfortable.
The Sha qi within became increasingly turbulent. No wonder the Flowing Fire Sect Master advised them not to come. With such Sha qi, if not for Ye Chu’s special constitution, even someone of the Xuanhua Realm would suffer losses coming here.
“I truly did not expect there to be such a place here. It is a pity that although these Sha qi can increase some of my strength, the effect is limited. At this moment, compared to the Teng Snake Sha, this inferior Sha qi seems far too poor.” Ye Chu sighed a few times and also gave up the notion of absorbing the Sha qi here to raise his strength.
This cliff was truly very deep. Ye Chu did not know how long he had been falling with Zhong Wei, and still had not reached the bottom of the cliff.
After another hour, Ye Chu discovered the Sha qi began to dissipate. The air gradually freshened. This made Ye Chu’s heart stir. He looked below and indeed saw green grass.
“We have finally reached the valley bottom!” Ye Chu said to Zhong Wei, feeling somewhat excited.
Zhong Wei similarly let out a breath. Just now within that turbid qi, she did not even dare to breathe. Fortunately, now they had reached the valley bottom. What met the eye was a stretch of verdant green, beautiful and quiet, with even butterflies dancing within.
“A good place!” Ye Chu could feel that the spiritual qi within was extremely dense, so dense that one felt refreshed and clear-headed with a single breath.
“It truly is a good place. If not blocked by that turbulent Sha qi, just for this piece of land alone, it would attract countless sects to fight over it.” Zhong Wei said.
Ye Chu nodded, then asked Zhong Wei, “You have thoroughly read ancient texts. Could this place possibly be the location of His Mountain Jade?”
Zhong Wei shook her head, “How would I know? This still needs to be slowly investigated. Ancient texts record very little about His Mountain Jade.”
Ye Chu nodded, released his Yuan Spirit, and perceived the surroundings. Very quickly Ye Chu’s brows furrowed.
“What is it?” Zhong Wei asked Ye Chu.
“With my Yuan Spirit, perceiving a thousand metres takes no effort at all. But now, having just released it a hundred metres, I feel it is extremely strenuous, as if suppressed by a force. This valley bottom is strange.” Ye Chu said to Zhong Wei.
A look of joy appeared on Zhong Wei’s face. She exchanged a glance with Ye Chu, and the two spoke in unison, “You mean, there really might be His Mountain Jade here. Because His Mountain Jade possesses laws. With your current strength, encountering His Mountain Jade would indeed cause you to be suppressed.”
“Search! Find it!” Ye Chu was somewhat excited and began searching everywhere.
However, this valley bottom was not very large. Ye Chu searched in a circle but found nothing. All he saw were colourful and gorgeous flowers.
“How can this be?” Zhong Wei looked at Ye Chu and said, “Can you not perceive where it is suppressing you?”
“At every place, I am suppressed. It cannot be that this His Mountain Jade is in every inch of the land, right?” Ye Chu shook his head.
Zhong Wei took a deep breath, shook her head and said, “It cannot be so. Let’s search carefully again. Perhaps there is no His Mountain Jade here, and it is only this valley bottom that is strange.”
Ye Chu also felt this was possible. After all, he had never heard of anyone obtaining His Mountain Jade.
“Search one more time!” As Ye Chu spoke, his power similarly danced, and he began digging into the ground, wanting to see if there was anything underground.
But the result disappointed Ye Chu. There was nothing underground, only yellow earth.
“It seems it truly is just this valley bottom that is miraculous.” Ye Chu sighed and said to Zhong Wei.
But just as Ye Chu was preparing to give up, Zhong Wei suddenly said, “Ye Chu, wait!”
“Hmm?” Ye Chu did not understand. He only saw Zhong Wei walking step by step towards a certain direction.
“What is it?” Ye Chu asked in confusion, examining the direction Zhong Wei was walking towards. He discovered nothing at all. But Zhong Wei had a solemn expression, held her breath, and walked over step by step, exceptionally sacred.
