Chapter 60: Intercept the Tribute Gifts of the Major Powers!

【Zi You did not refuse. Instead, she very calmly passed on the complete Great Void Technique to you.】

【The reason she had only taught the first part of the Great Void Technique to the people of the Sword Pavilion was because, aside from those with the Zi Family bloodline, it was extremely difficult for others to cultivate it successfully.】

【Of course, exceptions like you could not be ruled out. That was why Zi You’s family had never passed the Great Void Technique to outsiders.】

【For the next half year, you remained hidden in that small courtyard of the Great Zhou Dynasty, cultivating in seclusion.】

【While you were in seclusion, Qingzhou and Youzhou had already descended into complete chaos because of you.】

【The Hun Family and the Jun Family each dispatched an Integration Realm mighty figure, leading an entire Void Refinement enforcement squad to Qingzhou and Youzhou in an attempt to eliminate you once and for all.】

【In the twentieth year, you emerged from seclusion.】

【Because you possessed the talent Young Supreme, cultivating the Great Void Technique came as naturally to you as a fish swimming through water.】

【In just half a year, you had raised the Great Void Technique from beginner level to Minor Mastery.】

【Even having cultivated it to this level, the gap between you and Zi You was still enormous.】

【The difference between you was not just in cultivation realm, but also in your comprehension of the Great Void Technique.】

【Ten days later, it would be time for the banquet hosted by the Purple Firmament Holy Land.】

【On that day, Zi You came to find you and told you it was time to set out.】

【Curious, you asked Zi You what identity the two of you would use to enter the Purple Firmament Holy Land.】

【Zi You gave a mysterious smile and looked toward the Great Zhou imperial palace.】

【“Isn’t there just so happened to be a tribute convoy heading there?”】

【Following Zi You’s gaze, you saw one beast-drawn imperial carriage after another flying out from the Great Zhou imperial palace.】

【“The Great Zhou Dynasty’s tribute convoy?”】

【“Let’s go. Let’s see what fine gifts the Great Zhou Dynasty prepared for the Purple Firmament Holy Land.”】

【As Zi You looked at those beast-drawn imperial carriages in the sky, a strange glint flashed through her eyes.】

【In the next instant, you and Zi You simultaneously used the Great Void Technique and flew toward the Great Zhou Dynasty’s convoy.】

【You followed the Great Zhou Dynasty’s beast-drawn imperial carriages all the way.】

【Seven days later, while the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty were resting, you took advantage of the opening, killed two of them, disguised yourselves as them, and infiltrated the convoy.】

【You discovered that the one leading the gift procession this time was the Crown Prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and yet this Crown Prince’s cultivation was only at Deity Transformation Great Perfection.】

【You could not help sighing inwardly that the Great Zhou Dynasty truly lacked worthy successors. The dignified Crown Prince actually had a lower cultivation than you.】

【On the eighth day, you continued onward toward the Purple Firmament Holy Land. By then, you had already left the Southern Region and entered a place resembling an independent small world.】

【You asked Zi You what this place was. You had never seen it anywhere in the Central Continent before.】

【Zi You explained to you that this was the Holy Domain.】

【“The Holy Domain? Eldest Senior Sister, doesn’t the Central Continent only have the four great regions? East, West, South, and North. Why is there also a Holy Domain?”】

【Hearing this, Zi You patiently explained the situation of the Central Continent to you.】

【“Little Junior Brother, what you don’t know is that the four great regions are only the surface division of the Central Continent. The Holy Domain is the true core of the Central Continent.”】

【At that point, Zi You glanced at the barrier you had just passed through.】

【“The powers within the Holy Domain are the ones that truly govern the Central Continent. Why do you think the Four Great Families of the Eastern Region can control Qingzhou, Youzhou, and the other major continents?”】

【“Behind all of that, to a greater or lesser extent, stands the shadow of the Holy Lands.”】

【Hearing these words, you were deeply shaken.】

【You had thought that the Central Continent was already the holy land of cultivation in the Canglan Realm, and that the Four Great Families of the Eastern Region were already top-tier clan powers. You never imagined that all of it was merely the surface.】

【And the ones truly controlling everything were actually the hidden powers of the Holy Domain.】

【Ever since crossing over into this cultivation world, you had done nothing but cultivate, cultivate desperately, without pause.】

【You did it for no other reason than to survive well.】

【This bizarre world had forced you into dealing with the bizarre insect problem, because if you did not solve the bizarre insects, then the bizarre insects would solve your life instead.】

【Seeing that you had fallen silent, Zi You let you digest all of this on your own.】

【As for her, she secretly used the Great Void Technique to sneak into the beast-drawn imperial carriages and see what lavish gifts the Great Zhou Dynasty had prepared.】

【After pondering for a long time, you slowly let out a sigh.】

【Then you suddenly realized that Zi You beside you had disappeared.】

【But not long afterward, Zi You returned to your side and stuffed a box into your hands.】

【“What is this, Eldest Senior Sister?”】

【“Oh, nothing much. Just Enlightenment Tea.”】

【You stared at Zi You as she said that in such a casual tone, as though Enlightenment Tea were some utterly ordinary item.】

【You looked at her in shock, curious how she had gotten her hands on Enlightenment Tea.】

【Enlightenment Tea had already become extremely rare in the Canglan Realm. This Spiritual Object had been plentiful in the Ancient Era, but now Enlightenment Trees had nearly gone extinct, so Enlightenment Tea had naturally become a priceless treasure.】

【You asked Zi You where she had gotten the Enlightenment Tea.】

【Zi You smiled faintly and pointed a finger at the beast-drawn imperial carriages behind her.】

【“A gift that the Great Zhou Dynasty intended to present to the Purple Firmament Holy Land. With something this good, it would be better for it to benefit us than be given to the Purple Firmament Holy Land.”】

【Looking at Zi You’s calm expression, you were suddenly caught between laughter and tears.】

【So she had gone off just now to steal the Great Zhou Dynasty’s tribute gift.】

【You finally understood why Zi You wanted to attend the banquet of the Purple Firmament Holy Land.】

【With so many powers of the Central Continent bringing tribute gifts, if the two of you took all those treasures away, you did not even dare imagine how many valuable items would be waiting for you.】

【In the blink of an eye, three days passed.】

【You and Zi You followed the Great Zhou Dynasty’s convoy and entered the interior of the Purple Firmament Holy Land.】

【The moment you entered the Purple Firmament Holy Land, you immediately left the Great Zhou Dynasty’s formation and headed toward the other powers.】

【The first group you and Zi You infiltrated was the beast-drawn imperial carriage convoy of the Great Qian Dynasty.】

【“Damn! A Yin-Yang Sacred Fruit!!!”】

【Looking at the fruit in your hand, a smile spilled uncontrollably across your face.】

【“That’s it? Other than the Yin-Yang Sacred Fruit, what kind of junk is the rest?”】

【Zi You glanced over the Great Qian Dynasty’s offerings, and a look of disdain appeared on her face.】

【After leaving the Great Qian Dynasty’s beast-drawn imperial carriages, you went straight to the beast-drawn imperial carriages of the next force.】

【You knew your time was limited. Once night fell and the banquet began, the major powers would present their gifts.】

【For the two of you, time was short and the task was heavy.】

【You and Zi You took only the most valuable Spiritual Objects and left everything else behind.】

【Before long, the sky darkened.】

【The banquet of the Purple Firmament Holy Land began as well.】

【You and Zi You returned to the ranks of the Great Zhou Dynasty.】

【You watched as an elder of the Purple Firmament Holy Land stood in the main hall above, saying a bunch of useless formalities.】

【Very soon, it came to the tribute presentation segment.】

【“The Great Qian Dynasty presents—one Yin-Yang Sacred Fruit!”】
