Yang Chen gazed at the elder donned in golden armor. By sensing his Qi, it became evident that he had attained the Heaven-separated Realm, prompting him to greet without delay, “May I know the name of the esteemed friend?”
“I am Broken River, and I wonder if the friend is indeed Yang Chen.” A trace of testing intent flickered in Broken River’s smile.
Yang Chen picked up on Broken River’s intentional probe, his eyes narrowing while the edges of his mouth curved up, grasping that Broken River harbored doubts about his real identity.
He showed no outward response, simply flicking his hand and letting out a bit of his aura.
In the instant that followed, Broken River sensed his own pressure shatter like an egg against a stone, akin to a petty mage facing a mighty sorcerer. It was swiftly repelled.
Moreover, the strength Yang Chen displayed resembled merely the peak of an iceberg, barely noticeable. He failed to discern any precise details.
This caused Broken River’s expression to shift abruptly, confirming that the man before him was truly Yang Chen.
“Brother Yang Chen indeed deserves his fame; I’m impressed.” Broken River chuckled to diffuse the discomfort from his probing, then gestured with his hand and added, “Please, Brother Yang Chen, have a seat!”
Yang Chen held nothing back and promptly took his place.
With a grin, Broken River remarked, “Brother Yang Chen’s trip to Heavenly Melody Mountain must have been arduous. Since you’ve arrived, it’s surely regarding Fairy Moon Fu, correct?”
At these words, Yang Chen was on the verge of replying when he caught the look in Broken River’s eyes and felt a twinge of confusion.
Broken River had just eyed him with an unmistakable sympathy, apparently linked to this Fairy Moon Fu.
Yang Chen felt perplexed, uncertain about the source of Broken River’s pitying glance.
Was it possible that Fairy Moon Fu was exceedingly unattractive?
Yet that seemed illogical. He’d learned from Ji Yue Shuang that Fairy Moon Fu boasted legions of suitors. From her youth, tales of Fairy Moon Fu had circulated endlessly.
Someone so hideous wouldn’t attract such a throng of admirers.
Then why the sympathetic gaze? Yang Chen was poised to uncover it when Broken River seemed to realize and hastily averted his eyes.
Worried that Yang Chen might detect something, Broken River spoke up, “At present, Junior Sister Moon Orchid isn’t within the sect; she’s away on crucial tasks. Still, I expect her return won’t be long. In the meantime, Brother Yang Chen, you can stay here.”
Yang Chen could merely shake his head and clarify, “Friend Gu has it wrong. Meeting Fairy Moon Fu isn’t my primary aim in coming here. There’s another issue at hand!”
“What other issue brings Brother Yang Chen?” Broken River inquired, curiosity piqued.
Yang Chen replied, “It’s this…”
Yang Chen recounted the details of the Slaughter God Spear fully, leaving nothing out.
Upon the mention of the Slaughter God Spear, Broken River showed a flicker of surprise, “Ah, so that’s the case. I recall hearing of an Emperor Divine Tool Long Spear surfacing in the treasury not long ago, with a wildly haughty nature. I’m unsure if it matches Brother Yang Chen’s divine weapon.”
“Haughty? Indeed, that fits the divine weapon perfectly. Might Friend Gu escort me to view it?” Yang Chen voiced, elated.
Broken River gave a light laugh and shook his head, “It’s not that I’m denying you, Brother Yang Chen. The truth is, Elder Absolute Yi himself took possession of this Emperor Divine Tool. To claim the Slaughter God Spear, you’ll need to seek out Elder Absolute Yi.”
“Elder Absolute Yi?” The name rang no bells for Yang Chen.
“Does Brother Yang Chen not know of my sect’s Elder Absolute Yi?” Broken River questioned, a hint of surprise in his tone.
Yang Chen shook his head, “I’ve only recently arrived in the Taiyuan Star System and remain ignorant of Elder Absolute Yi’s renowned exploits. I’d appreciate if Friend Gu could enlighten me.”
“Very well. I’ve only lately come across tales of Brother Yang Chen’s feats myself. I never imagined you weren’t native to the Taiyuan Star System—that only heightens my respect. Regarding our sect’s Elder Absolute Yi, his birth name is Situ Jueyi. He stands as one of Heavenly Melody Mountain’s Heavenly Extreme Realm Daoist Ancestors,” Broken River elaborated.
Yang Chen was stunned to learn of his Daoist Ancestor stature.
“Why would such an ancient Daoist Ancestor take interest in my missing Emperor Divine Tool?” Yang Chen wondered aloud, puzzled.
“Brother Yang Chen ought to question your haughty Emperor Divine Tool. While the Daoist Ancestor was in secluded cultivation, for reasons unknown, the Emperor Divine Tool dashed to his retreat and caused chaos. Multiple Heaven-separated Realm powerhouses couldn’t contain it. Its velocity was astonishing, almost as if it wielded spacetime traversal. Ultimately, our Daoist Ancestor intervened to subdue it! Yet, this Spear acknowledged a new master and grew docile around the Daoist Ancestor, behaving quite tamely,” Broken River chuckled.
Yang Chen let out a laugh, “Yes, that’s exactly it.”
His mind now swirled with bewilderment too.
The disposition matched, but how had the Slaughter God Spear evaded capture by a band of Heaven-separated Realm experts?
This twist was intriguing. He could fathom the Slaughter God Spear inheriting fragments of his spacetime prowess, granting it blistering speed. Even then, suggesting a squad of Heaven-separated Realm cultivators couldn’t seize it stretched credibility.
As its owner, Yang Chen himself had once drained his energies fleeing from such a group of Heaven-separated Realm foes.
“Brother Yang Chen, you should be grateful our Daoist Ancestor spared its divine consciousness, opting instead to seal it. Had he erased it, matters would’ve grown far messier. That said, your method of forging this Spear is masterful. Our Daoist Ancestor had pondered endlessly about the sort of owner who could forge such a weapon,” Broken River noted.
Unable to restrain himself, Yang Chen asked, “Might I have the chance to encounter Daoist Ancestor Absolute Yi?”
At this, Broken River’s brow furrowed, “Brother Yang Chen, Daoist Ancestor Absolute Yi remains in constant seclusion and seldom emerges. I’ll exert every effort to assist you, though success isn’t assured. Remember, it’s hardly our Daoist Ancestor’s doing that your Emperor Divine Tool ended up with him, is it?”
Hearing this, Yang Chen had no choice but to concede, “Should Friend Gu agree to aid me, these few Elixirs will be your compensation.”
As their talk concluded, Yang Chen promptly produced several Elixirs and passed them to Broken River.
Broken River had planned only a casual inquiry, but upon sighting these Elixirs, his eyes gleamed, and he exclaimed, “Brother Yang Chen, you’re far too generous!”
Despite calling it generosity, he accepted every Elixir without pause, then grinned, “For this, Brother Yang Chen, I’ll give it my all. Success remains uncertain, however. Brother Yang Chen, please rest here a moment.”
Yang Chen understood the request’s challenges, so he nodded, “Many thanks, Friend Gu.”
