Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Poison Spirit, don’t be too far away from us here on the second level; there are definitely numerous King-Ranked formidable martial artists here. They all have Mercury Stones, and once you have been discovered, you will definitely be killed.”

After escaping from the lake, Jiang Yi saw that Poison Spirit was about to enter stealth mode as he hurriedly instructed. Poison Spirit nodded and said, “Rest assured, Young Lord, that I will not take unnecessary risks.”

The second level seemed to be very big; the terrain was also very complicated. There were mountains everywhere; there didn’t seem to be an end to them.

Jiang Yi sped about for a few hundred kilometers. After making sure no one was pursuing him, he then let Qi Qingchen out. Qi Qingchen’s face was rather pale as she said in a voice full of despair, “Jiang Yi, I had always thought that my gifts and strength were top-notch; I did not think that I would actually become a burden and not be able to help you on this treasure hunt.”

“Keke!”

Jiang Yi’s mouth twitched as he smiled and replied, “That you can recognize this fact… this trip had not been wasted at all. At least the pride in you has been slightly eroded; it is something very beneficial to your progress. There will always be someone better out there. Perhaps we are the top-notch geniuses in the Earth Domain. However, to the Heaven Domain, we are actually not considered much.”

“That’s right.”

Qi Qingchen nodded slightly as she stopped talking and followed Jiang Yi. Jiang Yi also didn’t continue speaking; some things could only be realized by oneself. As long as Qi Qingchen could understand this logic and start afresh, it would be very beneficial to her future.

The Wintry Sovereign had not joined them this time but let Qi Qingchen come here to take a risk; perhaps he also intended for her to suffer some setbacks and to suppress the pride within her bones.

The two walked in silence, with Poison Spirit occasionally floating towards them to make sure that the coast was clear. The second level was indeed vast; after traveling for two hours, they still had not encountered a single person. However, Poison Spirit had actually detected a very magical place.

“There’s a treasure there!”

Qi Qingchen’s eyes finally lit up with a sliver of color as she headed in that direction with Jiang Yi and Poison Spirit. They soon arrived beneath a stone peak as Poison Spirit pointed at one of the caves within it and said, “This cave is a little strange. Young Lord, please examine it in detail. I will stand guard nearby.”

Jiang Yi gestured as Poison Spirit left. Qi Qingchen didn’t take the risk of entering the cave as she observed from afar. This time, she had learned to be smart and wanted to find some clues from the surrounding area.

There was indeed something special about this cave. It was very shallow, and one could see through it easily. However, the winds outside this cave seemed to be blowing into it. This wind was rather strong as well. However, while it entered, it never came back out.

Since the cave was sealed shut, the wind had to blow into somewhere; this was illogical. Why could the wind enter but not emerge?

Qi Qingchen took a few detailed glances; however, she did not find any traces of restrictions in the cave. She learned from Jiang Yi as she took out a weapon and threw it inside. The weapon actually entered the cave easily and embedded itself along the cave walls.

Qi Qingchen could not understand at all; she didn’t move but stood there and waited for Jiang Yi to open his eyes. However, Jiang Yi stood beneath that stone peak for almost a full hour and did not seem like he was going to open his eyes anytime soon. His brows were furrowed, and he seemed to be having trouble with a tough problem.

One hour later, Jiang Yi’s eyes finally opened. His eyes were filled with bewilderment as he shook his head and murmured, “That can’t be right! What’s going on?”

“What is it?”

Qi Qingchen asked slightly impatiently. “Jiang Yi, how can we obtain this treasure? Where is it?”

“What treasure?” Jiang Yi exclaimed as he turned his head. He then smiled bitterly and said, “Who said that special places like this must contain treasures? This entire cave can be observed in an instant; the cave walls are normal as well. What treasures are there to speak of?”

Qi Qingchen’s passion in her heart was suddenly splashed with a bucket of ice water. She rolled her eyes and said, “If there are no treasures, why were you deep in thought for so long?”

“Although there aren’t any treasures here…!”

Jiang Yi’s gaze turned towards the cave as he exclaimed, “It actually contains something even more precious than ordinary treasures. It is either a powerful wind-element law or a special mystical ability. Unfortunately, our time is limited; and we don’t have time to figure it out.”

“Laws? Mystical abilities?”

Qi Qingchen seemed to be thinking of something. However, she then said abruptly, “Let’s go, then. Time is of the essence; we shouldn’t waste any more time here.”

They only had one day here. This place was very vast; the three had entered for so long and had only obtained an herb. They had actually risked their lives for this, and it would be such a waste if that was all they got. Jiang Yi thought about it as he brought Qi Qingchen and left that place in search of treasures.

One hour later, Poison Spirit suddenly floated back. He reported softly, “Young Lord, there seems to be a Young Mistress there. She seems to have found a precious treasure and is trying to use brute force to get to it.”

“A precious treasure?”

Qi Qingchen’s eyes lit up. Jiang Yi, however, murmured to himself a little surprised, “A young mistress?”

“Tsk-tsk!” Qi Qingchen snorted and said, “You guys are all the same; you hear about a beautiful young mistress, and now your heart is already fluttering?”

“What are you thinking about?” Jiang Yi scratched his nose, embarrassed, as he explained, “To be able to come here; would this young mistress be ordinary? Furthermore, how could it be that she was the only one working on getting this treasure?”

“Oh, oh!”

Qi Qingchen looked a little embarrassed as she lowered her head. She secretly felt a little troubled. It seemed that the more time she spent with Jiang Yi, the more her brain was not working that well? Could it be she was over-reliant on Jiang Yi and was now lazy to think and analyze things on her own?

“Let’s go and see!”

Jiang Yi did not have any good feelings towards Heaven Domain’s young masters and young mistresses. If this person was indeed alone, Jiang Yi was prepared to snatch her treasure. Poison Spirit activated the Art of Concealment as he headed forward. Poison Spirit was very clear of his role. Jiang Yi and Qi Qingchen had brought him along not for him to battle and hunt for treasures, but for him to investigate and assist them both.

According to the direction Poison Spirit led them in, Jiang Yi and Qi Qingchen quietly moved forward. Ten minutes later, the two reached their destination. Poison Spirit once again floated into existence as he said very firmly, “There isn’t anyone else in a five-thousand-kilometers radius. However, that young mistress should be a King-Ranked formidable martial artist.”

“Let’s go then!”

Jiang Yi gestured as they sneakily continued forward. The two could already vaguely hear explosive sounds coming from the front. After traveling for another few kilometers, the two finally found that young mistress.

Near a mountain peak ahead, a lady wearing an orange-yellow dress was continuously attacking the mountain. This lady was quite young and was very beautiful; she was comparable to Qi Qingchen. Her airs were very special and a very comfortable aura emanated from her body. Although she was attacking the mountain, it felt as if she was sitting in her backyard, using her hands to swat away flies.

She held onto a silver longbow as she took her time and continuously pulled at it, sending streaks of shooting stars at the mountain. That mountain shone brightly incessantly; there were definitely powerful restrictions at play. The horrifying aura from these restrictions suppressed a region five kilometers out, making Jiang Yi and Qi Qingchen feel a little suffocated. The thunderous explosion also hurt their eardrums.

“A King-Ranked formidable martial artist. That bow is also a Primitive Spiritual Treasure; her dress is also something special.”

Jiang Yi glanced over and instantly concluded this lady was definitely a Heaven Domain great family clans’ young mistress. To be able to be King-Ranked at such a young age and possessing numerous treasures—to be here without a guard and looking so relaxed, she was evidently very confident of her ability at self-preservation.

“Jiang Yi, shall we snatch the treasure or not?”

Qi Qingchen took a few looks at the mountain peak as she grew very sure there was a special treasure inside. However, as the opponent was but a woman, Qi Qingchen was a little reluctant to attack.

Jiang Yi had not managed to reply when that young mistress suddenly ceased her attacks. She turned her head leisurely as her eyes looked over. Although they were a few kilometers apart, she very precisely zeroed in on Jiang Yi and Qi Qingchen hiding behind that huge rock.

Her mouth revealed a sliver of mockery as her crisp voice rang out, “Snatch? Just you two? You should be Jiang Yi, right? Do you believe that I can kill you in one blow?”
