Chapter 943, Departure

Inside the room.

 

“Tomorrow, you shall depart.”

 

Yu Qianqiu said to Qin Yichen.

 

“Understood.” Qin Yichen nodded. Although he had wanted to wait for news of Li Yuanba before leaving, time waited for no one. “Sacred Master, may I trouble you with something?”

 

“Speak.”

 

“After Li Yuanba returns, please give him this map and have him stay there for a few years.” Qin Yichen took out a hand-drawn map and handed it to him.

 

“This is…” Yu Qianqiu unfolded the map. In the next moment, he looked at Qin Yichen with a stunned expression.

 

However, after a brief moment, he understood Qin Yichen’s intention.

 

That place, though chaotic, was absolutely a great destination for Li Yuanba. However, it carried significant danger as well.

 

Although the Sacred Lands’ territories were filled with countless experts, there were hardly any truly bloody wars. Li Yuanba’s Momentum had already reached the Partially Accomplished Stage. In this peaceful environment, he could hardly improve.

 

“Also, please give him these as well.” Qin Yichen took out several large medicine bottles.

 

What he could do for Li Yuanba amounted to only this much.

 

“What if he refuses to go?” Yu Qianqiu accepted the medicine bottles and asked.

 

Currently, Li Yuanba and Mu Yanzhen were practically inseparable. He feared that Li Yuanba might not be willing to go.

 

“Then have the Sacred Master relay these words to him…” After pausing, Qin Yichen continued, “Only the strong can protect those they wish to protect!”

 

…

 

The following day.

 

When the first ray of sunlight tore through the dark sky and cascaded down, on the mountain peak where Qin Yichen resided, a series of urgent wind-breaking sounds rang out.

 

Over a dozen figures flew over. The person leading them was none other than Brilliant Sky Sacred Master, Yu Qianqiu. Beside him, Mu Yanfeng stood fully prepared. The Pill Hall Master and over a dozen Sacred Land Elders all stood behind the two.

 

“Sacred Master, Senior Brother Mu, Hall Master, esteemed Elders.” At this moment, Qin Yichen walked out from the courtyard, holding Feng Qianxue’s jade hand.

 

Upon seeing the two, everyone’s eyes flashed with a trace of amazement. The young man wore a perfectly fitted white robe, his eyes like the profound starry sky, making his entire bearing extraordinary. Feng Qianxue wore a white dress, her bright eyes and white teeth like a lotus emerging from water, refined and peerless.

 

Looking at this perfectly matched couple, everyone’s hearts rose with a trace of admiration. What an enviable pair of lovers.

 

“It’s time to set off.” Yu Qianqiu nodded at Qin Yichen, reminding him.

 

Behind him, Dan Xuanzi and the numerous Elders all gazed at them, clearly aware that Qin Yichen was about to leave Brilliant Sky Sacred Land to participate in the Heaven Stairway at Saints Heavenly Manor.

 

Regardless of whether he could enter Saints Heavenly Manor, overall, it was still an excellent opportunity for training.

 

“Sacred Master, I want to bring Qianxue along to participate.”

 

Qin Yichen bowed to Yu Qianqiu, holding Feng Qianxue’s small hand as he spoke.

 

“Feng Qianxue?” Upon hearing this, Yu Qianqiu’s brows furrowed. Within Brilliant Sky Sacred Land, not many people knew of Feng Qianxue’s peerless talent. However, if Feng Qianxue went to participate in the Heaven Stairway, she would definitely be discovered by many discerning old experts.

 

Qin Yichen was still manageable. After all, he was Brilliant Sky Sacred Land’s Sacred Master Candidate. Even if those old experts wanted to snatch him away, they would at least consider leaving the Sacred Land some face first.

 

However, Feng Qianxue had no such title. If she were snatched away by those old experts, Brilliant Sky Sacred Land could only stare helplessly.

 

“Sacred Master, this girl is extraordinary. I’m afraid compared to Qin Yichen, she won’t be inferior by half a step. In my view, we should not delay her future prospects.” Dan Xuanzi paused, seeing through Yu Qianqiu’s concerns. He leaned close to Yu Qianqiu’s ear and spoke in a low voice.

 

Hearing these words, a bitter smile could not help but appear at the corner of Yu Qianqiu’s mouth.

 

Who knew how many outstanding talented prodigies fought tooth and nail to enter Brilliant Sky Sacred Land? Yet now, faced with someone of true monstrous talent, they were actually having thoughts about fearing they might delay her prospects!

 

“So be it. Then you three shall go together with Mu Yanfeng.” Finally, Yu Qianqiu pondered briefly, waved his hand, and said, “Qin Yichen, this time, Brilliant Sky Sacred Land’s reputation rests on you three.”

 

“Sacred Master, rest assured. We definitely will not disappoint your expectations.” Qin Yichen and Feng Qianxue exchanged glances, smiled, and said.

 

Mu Yanfeng also nodded quietly. He had originally been Brilliant Sky Sacred Land’s most outstanding Disciple. The pillar amongst the younger generation of Brilliant Sky Sacred Land! This was his responsibility.

 

However, fortunately, at this time, Qin Yichen had emerged, sharing some of that responsibility with him.

 

Towards Qin Yichen, he felt not the slightest jealousy. They were all members of Brilliant Sky Sacred Land. They shared glory and loss together!

 

“Go. We shall await your good news within the Sacred Land.” Yu Qianqiu waved his sleeve and said no more.

 

Mu Yanfeng, Qin Yichen, and Feng Qianxue exchanged glances, all nodding. Then their figures transformed into streaks of light, flying towards the exterior of Brilliant Sky Sacred Land. In an instant, they became small black dots on the horizon, disappearing from everyone’s line of sight.

 

“I wonder what kind of results these three will achieve this time…”

 

Watching the direction they disappeared, an Elder murmured softly, “I’ve heard that in other Sacred Lands, several youths with monstrous Physiques that appear once in a thousand years have emerged.”

 

“Yes, those kinds of Heaven Defying Physiques can indeed demonstrate great prowess on the Heaven Stairway. I wonder if our three can compare with them.”

 

Several Elders all nodded silently. Truth be told, Brilliant Sky Sacred Land had not had anyone make a notable performance on the Heaven Stairway in who knew how many years. Only through such accomplishments would the Sacred Land be allowed to take a share in the resources from Saints Heavenly Manor. This was also one of the important reasons why Brilliant Sky Sacred Land had remained at the bottom of the Twelve Sacred Lands for all these years.

 

Whenever someone was selected by Saints Heavenly Manor, it was absolutely a tremendous loss for the Sacred Land.

 

Therefore, as long as a Sacred Land or other Top Tier Force had a Disciple chosen by Saints Heavenly Manor, they would receive great reward from Saints Heavenly Manor. Those kinds of resources were absolutely invaluable treasures even for Sacred Lands.

 

“Physiques rarely seen in a thousand years?” Yu Qianqiu suddenly chuckled softly, thinking to himself, “I don’t believe these youngsters will fail.”

 

Mu Yanfeng had a Physique rarely seen in a thousand years, while Feng Qianxue with her True Phoenix Martial Soul. They were no less impressive than those rare Physiques!

 

As for Qin Yichen…

 

He was the one Yu Qianqiu valued most. Qin Yichen did not seem to possess any special Physique, yet his talent had shocked Yu Qianqiu several times, even with all his experience, he had never seen anyone like him.

 

It seemed he would only be stronger than those with special Physiques, absolutely in no way inferior.

 

However, what made Yu Qianqiu somewhat concerned was that both Qin Yichen and Feng Qianxue were at the Martial Emperor Realm. Having them represent Brilliant Sky Sacred Land to participate in Saints Heavenly Manor’s Heaven Stairway, would this make other Forces think Brilliant Sky Sacred Land had no one left?

 

After all, it seemed there had never been anyone at the Martial Emperor Realm participating in the Heaven Stairway before…
