Yang Chen gazed at the elder clad in golden armor. From the Qi he sensed, the elder had attained the Heaven-separated Realm, so without any delay, he offered a greeting, “Might I inquire the name of this esteemed friend?”
“I go by Broken River, and I’m curious if you are truly Yang Chen.” A subtle intent to probe emerged in Broken River’s smile.
Yang Chen picked up on Broken River’s intentional test, his eyes narrowing while the edges of his mouth lifted, understanding that Broken River doubted his real identity.
He showed no 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 got repelled right away.
Moreover, the strength Yang Chen displayed was merely the surface, like the peak of an iceberg, too vague for any precise insight.
This caused Broken River’s expression to shift abruptly, confirming that the man before him was indeed Yang Chen.
“Brother Yang Chen certainly deserves his fame; I’m impressed.” Broken River chuckled to diffuse the tension from his probing, then gestured with his hand and added, “Please, have a seat, Brother Yang Chen!”
Yang Chen wasted no time and settled into the seat promptly.
With a grin, Broken River remarked, “Brother Yang Chen, your trip to Heavenly Melody Mountain must have been arduous. Since you’ve arrived, it’s surely regarding Fairy Moon Fu, right?”
At these words, Yang Chen prepared to reply, but then he caught the look in Broken River’s eyes and felt confused.
Broken River had just glanced at him with obvious pity, seemingly tied to this Fairy Moon Fu.
Yang Chen felt puzzled, unable to pinpoint the source of Broken River’s pitying expression.
Was it possible that Fairy Moon Fu was exceedingly unattractive?
Yet that seemed unlikely. From what Ji Yue Shuang had shared, Fairy Moon Fu boasted numerous suitors. Since her youth, tales of Fairy Moon Fu had spread endlessly.
No one that hideous would attract such a following.
Then why the pitying glance? Yang Chen was on the verge of uncovering it when Broken River seemed aware and hastily averted his eyes.
Worried Yang Chen might detect something, Broken River spoke up, “At present, Junior Sister Moon Orchid isn’t back at the sect; she’s away dealing with crucial affairs. Still, I expect her return soon. In the meantime, Brother Yang Chen can stay here.”
Yang Chen could only shake his head and clarify, “Friend Gu, you’ve got it wrong. Meeting Fairy Moon Fu isn’t my primary goal. I’m here mainly for something else!”
“What other business brings Brother Yang Chen?” Broken River asked, unable to contain his curiosity.
Yang Chen replied, “It’s this…”
Yang Chen detailed the issue with the Slaughter God Spear, leaving out nothing.
Upon hearing about the Slaughter God Spear, Broken River showed a touch of surprise, “Ah, I see. I recall rumors of an Emperor Divine Tool Long Spear appearing in the treasury not long ago, with a very haughty demeanor. I’m unsure if that’s the divine weapon belonging to Brother Yang Chen.”
“Haughty? Indeed, that matches the divine weapon. Could Friend Gu guide me to it?” Yang Chen said, delighted.
Broken River gave a light laugh and shook his head, “Brother Yang Chen, it’s not that I’m declining. The truth is, Elder Absolute Yi claimed this Emperor Divine Tool himself. To retrieve the Slaughter God Spear, you’ll need to approach Elder Absolute Yi.”
“Elder Absolute Yi?” The name rang no bells for Yang Chen.
“Brother Yang Chen, are you unaware of my sect’s Elder Absolute Yi?” Broken River inquired, puzzled.
Yang Chen shook his head, “I’ve only recently arrived in the Taiyuan Star System and know little of Elder Absolute Yi’s tales. I’d appreciate if Friend Gu could enlighten me.”
“Very well. I’ve only lately heard of Brother Yang Chen’s exploits myself. I never imagined you weren’t from the Taiyuan Star System—that impresses me further. 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 status.
“Why would this senior Daoist Ancestor take interest in my missing Emperor Divine Tool?” Yang Chen wondered aloud.
“Brother Yang Chen, you ought to question your haughty Emperor Divine Tool. While the Daoist Ancestor was in seclusion, 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 like it wielded spacetime traversal. Ultimately, our Daoist Ancestor intervened to subdue it! Yet, this Spear acknowledged him as master and turned docile. It behaved remarkably well,” Broken River chuckled.
Yang Chen laughed, “Yes, that’s definitely it.”
His mind filled with confusion now too.
The personality fit, but how did the Slaughter God Spear evade capture by several Heaven-separated Realm experts?
This was intriguing. He knew the Slaughter God Spear had inherited some of his spacetime talents, granting it incredible speed. Even then, suggesting a team of Heaven-separated Realm experts couldn’t seize it stretched belief.
As its owner, Yang Chen himself had barely fled from such a group of Heaven-separated Realm cultivators in the past, drained of power.
“Brother Yang Chen, you should be grateful our Daoist Ancestor spared its divine consciousness, opting only to seal it instead. Otherwise, recovery would’ve been a nightmare. That said, your method of forging this Spear is impressive. Our Daoist Ancestor once pondered what sort of owner could cultivate such a remarkable divine weapon,” Broken River noted.
Yang Chen couldn’t resist asking, “Might I have an audience with Daoist Ancestor Absolute Yi?”
Broken River’s brow furrowed at the request, “Brother Yang Chen, Daoist Ancestor Absolute Yi remains in constant seclusion and seldom emerges. I’ll exert every effort to assist, but success isn’t assured. After all, it wasn’t our Daoist Ancestor’s doing that your Emperor Divine Tool ended up with him, correct?”
Hearing this, Yang Chen had no choice but to agree: “If Friend Gu will aid me in this, these Elixirs are my token of thanks.”
As their talk concluded, Yang Chen promptly produced several Elixirs and passed them to Broken River.
Broken River had planned a casual inquiry, but upon seeing the 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, “Brother Yang Chen, I’ll give this my all. Whether it works out, I can’t say. For now, Brother Yang Chen, please rest here a moment.”
Yang Chen understood the challenge involved, so he nodded, “Many thanks, Friend Gu.”
