Chapter 464 - 460: Treasures Above, Dagger Below

"He really does things against one’s every expectation," an elegant figure garbed in grey robes laughed with joyful amusement. If Wei Wuyin heard this figure, he would immediately recognize her. Even her laugh betrayed her exceptional beauty to the world. for new novels

Qing Qiumu!

She was currently in an underground city belonging to the Bing Clan, one of the Nine Capitals of the Grey Sands Elves. After making her breakthrough into the Third Stage of the Astral Core Realm, she decided to learn more about this World Realm. Fortunately, as a member of the elven race, she fit perfectly with the others. While there was some mild prejudice due to her being assumed as a Verdant Forest Elf, it wasn’t anything her cultivation couldn’t handle.

After seeing Wei Wuyin’s image projected, she was awed. But in truth, she expected it. How could their starfield’s youngest Emperor Alchemist be ordinary in any cultivation world? Now, she had heard the astonishing news that Wei Wuyin, this newly ascended Holy Son, was hosting a trade meet for the contents of the Divine Lord Desi’s Grand Earth Cache.

He was going to allow cultivators from every location on the continent to vie for things they needed! As long as they had the wealth, or specific items listed, they could obtain the vast majority of the fabled contents within the Grand Earth Cache.

This was not a move an ordinary person would ever do. Even she thought Wei Wuyin had gone insane. According to the rumors, there were materials and items that could allow cultivators to touch upon the Mortal Limit, maybe even exceed it! The value of that was unimaginable!

She was thinking of traveling to True Desolate, meeting Wei Wuyin, maybe even joining him, but she decided against it in the end. She didn’t want to be a burden or a distraction, and she had her own goals to accomplish. But knowing that Wei Wuyin wouldn’t ever consider her as either of those things warmed her heart just thinking about him.

When she caught her mind wandering into such thoughts, she blushed slightly. When has she ever felt warm emotions at the mere thought of a person’s treatment of her?

In the end, she downed a cup of golden-colored juice. "This is delicious!" After regaining her normal emotional state, Qing Qiumu beautifully smiled and looked at the ceiling. She could faintly remember the image of a white-robed figure projected above.

"I’ll see you later!" She rose, paid her bill, and left the eatery.

"Here it is." Wei Wuyin floated several dozen meters high, looking at a lone mountain covered in grey dirt. The aura of desolation was extremely strong here. He wasn’t alone. In fact, there were tens of thousands of individuals behind him, all segregated in multiple groups of different origins.

The old man smiled, "If you only see the golden treasure above, you’ll never see the dagger below."

"...what?" The young woman was extremely confused. When did this old bastard start speaking in proverbs? She frustratedly huffed, "Explain!" She grew more and more frustrated, feeling like she was lacking intelligence every single time Wei Wuyin was involved.

The old man glanced at the young woman, sighing with a shake of his head. "Why are you observing this Holy Son as a normal Holy Child? Is his goal the same as the others?"

The young woman went into deep thought, trying to consider the meaning behind his words. Wei Wuyin’s goal? The Holy Son’s goal? What were they? After a long moment, her eyes brightened with enlightened insight. She looked at the multiple experts present, trying to find the Holy Clans.

Seeing the young woman finally obtain an understanding of the truth and hidden scheme laid out, the old man smiled in approval. He continued, "Chaos is a mere smokescreen, fleeting and blinding. And here I wondered how he’d solve that issue, when he never saw it as an issue." The more the old man noticed Wei Wuyin’s moves, the more he praised him.

"But are they really going to fall for this trap?" The young woman asked curiously. If the old man could think of it, couldn’t they?

The old man laughed, "You’re giving them way too much credit. They already did." Just as he said those words, as if the heavens were verifying them, two floating shapes emerged on the horizon simultaneously. The attention of everyone gathered onto the two enlarging shapes.

"It’s the Holy Clans! Is that their Holy Voidships?!" Someone exclaimed in rampant excitement.

"They’ve actually arrived! This is going to be an insane competition against the leaders of our world! I can’t wait!"

"Wait? Let’s hope they don’t clash lest we all die. I just hope there’s some soup left of the Divine Cache."

Floating silently, Wei Wuyin turned towards the approaching aerial vehicles that graced the sky with a majestic momentum. After a moment of thought, he flipped his palm. The Earth Element Badge of Divinity appeared. On its small surface were two arrows on its surface becoming thicker and thicker. They pointed towards the two shapes in the distance. He laughed with content, "So you came."

Sometimes it’s best to go the hard-hitting approach, imperious and domineering, direct and straightforward.

Other times, schemes and plotting doesn’t hurt. A little sinister manipulation and tactical planning was never a bad thing in this cultivation world.

But the absolute best time is when you intend to mix them both.
