Chapter 396: Chapter 72 Lingxiao Jade Token! Background

Luo Cheng had no idea that, because of Peng Shan and Xue Yun’s corpses, he had been mistaken for a remnant of the Blood Nether Sect, triggering an enormous commotion.

He performed the Mist Shadow Step and flew southward at top speed.

Along the way, he encountered several Xuanyuan Sect disciples and a few Outer Elders.

Among them was a familiar face.

Xu Bingyi, one of the top ten Outer Sect disciples.

“They’ve sent so many people to search for me!”

Luo Cheng was slightly surprised, but recalling the conversation between Xue Yun and Peng Shan, he immediately understood the situation.

It was natural for the sect to value him so highly because of his performance at the Three Sects Martial Arts Competition.

The most crucial reason, however, was Yun Mengli.

A super genius who had awakened an Eleven-star Earth-level Martial Soul—a talent so rare that even the Great Yue Dynasty might not have more than a handful like her. Within the entire Yunlan Domain Group, she was among the elite!

Who could neglect someone like her?

After some contemplation, Luo Cheng decided not to reveal his whereabouts and quietly left.

If he were to appear now, he wouldn’t know how to explain everything.

A Tongxuan Realm martial artist escaping unscathed from the pursuit of Middle Stage Awakening Vein Realm experts!

Even if he explained, who would believe him?

Moreover, he’d advanced from the Tongxuan Realm to the Middle Stage of Awakening Vein Realm within just over a month!

“I need to come up with a reasonable explanation…”

As he hurried along, Luo Cheng pondered deeply.

Though he hadn’t revealed himself, he gleaned his location from the conversations of those searching for him.

The Black Wind Forest.

A branch of the Black Cloud Mountain Range.

Determining his direction, Luo Cheng flew southwestward.

Though flying through the sky was incredibly fast, it also consumed a significant amount of Essence Energy. Coupled with Black Wind Forest’s vast expanse of tens of thousands of miles and countless Demon Beasts within, Luo Cheng had no choice but to proceed cautiously, resting intermittently as he traveled.

During one such pause, Luo Cheng retrieved the Storage Spirit Realms of Peng Shan and Xue Yun.

He erased their Soul Power Marks and opened the spatial storage inside.

“These two were Outer Elders, yet their wealth is so paltry!”

Luo Cheng was a little taken aback.

The Storage Spirit Rings contained many items, most of which were miscellaneous goods.

Essence Energy Pills added up to less than a thousand, amounting to less than ten million silver taels.

It wasn’t even a tenth of his own fortune.

As for the other items, Luo Cheng couldn’t even bother to glance at them.

The only decent item was Elder Peng Shan’s saber, a Four-star inferior-grade Treasure.

“It seems the external facade of Awakening Vein Realm experts is far from glamorous.”

Luo Cheng shook his head in contemplation.

Even though cultivation at the Awakening Vein Realm allowed one to earn wealth far faster than Tongxuan Realm martial artists, the consumption levels were staggering.

A single Four-star Spirit Pill suitable for Awakening Vein Realm experts cost millions of taels, and Four-star Treasures were worth tens of millions!

As for pills like the Meridian Opening Pill, a Five-star Spirit Pill, its value reached tens of millions of taels!

Ordinary Awakening Vein Realm experts struggled just to sustain their cultivation; accumulating wealth was an elusive dream!

If not for this, Xue Yun wouldn’t have risked her life for the “grand promises” drawn by Jin Min.

“Luckily, my wealth is sufficient, and with the support of Lingyun Pavilion, I don’t have to worry about cultivating resources for now.”

Luo Cheng muttered to himself, remembering Luo Yao. He took out the Lingxiao Jade Token she had given him.

The jade token was completely crystalline, with patterns of clouds engraved on its surface. Atop the cloud patterns sat a four-story golden tower emitting divine brilliance, exuding an inexplicable sense of majesty.

Back when he received the jade token, Luo Yao had briefly mentioned its significance.

Upon breaking through to the Awakening Vein Realm, the jade token would have numerous miraculous uses.

“I wonder what secrets it holds…”

Luo Cheng carefully examined the jade token before channeling his Soul Power into it.

Buzz!

The moment his Soul Power touched the Lingxiao Jade Token, the golden brilliance of the four-story tower flared to life, radiating dazzling divine light, shimmering like crystal, and faintly quivering.

In an instant, Luo Cheng was transported into a spacious dimension!

At the same time.

In a barren desert thousands of miles away.

Two imposing Fierce Beasts resembling panthers, their bodies covered in iron feathers, pulled a radiant, gleaming carriage, speeding forward.

The rolling wheels emitted thunderous sounds as they rumbled across the desert.

“Miss, are we really returning? There’s still no news of Luo Cheng. Perhaps…”

On the carriage’s shaft sat a young maiden. She lifted the beaded curtain to look inside.

Inside the carriage, an exquisite beauty clad in a fox-fur cloak reclined lazily. Her skin was as flawless as white jade, her long legs alluring, her breathtaking figure faintly visible, an image that stirred the very blood within—none other than Luo Yao.

A trace of wistfulness and helplessness flickered in Luo Yao’s captivating eyes:

“Blood Eagle is a Fourth Layer Awakening Vein Realm expert at the peak. No matter how strong Luo Cheng is, he cannot contend against such a force. You’ve already advanced to the Awakening Vein Realm, and you should understand how vast the disparity is.”

“Moreover, I’ve been investigating for a month now. Both of them have disappeared without a trace. Chances are, even Blood Eagle has been eliminated by Fierce Cloud Sect.”

A-Mu knew that Luo Yao’s analysis was sound. Frowning slightly, she spoke softly:

“But your previous decision to stay has already caused dissatisfaction among many in the family, especially the Eldest Miss. She dislikes anyone acting against her orders. Now, if you suddenly return empty-handed and without the jade token…”

“Even if the family doesn’t hold you accountable, the Eldest Miss might…”

Seeing Luo Yao frowning, A-Mu realized she’d misspoken and hurriedly added:

“Miss, why not choose someone else? Fierce Cloud Sect’s Hua Jingyang has awakened a Ten-star Spiritual Martial Soul. He has a fine aptitude and is currently in seclusion to break through to the Awakening Vein Realm. There’s also Yan Qingshuang from Luoxia Sect…”

At this, Luo Yao shook her head gently. “They were defeated by Luo Cheng. Choosing them afterward would only prove my failure. I chose Luo Cheng because I saw miracles in him—a force I need. Only like this can I surpass her…”

Mentioning ’her,’ Luo Yao’s eyes flashed with sharpness, followed by a sigh of resignation:

“But for now, it seems all efforts have been in vain. Perhaps I’m destined to live in her shadow forever—a life of mediocrity.”

“Miss, you shouldn’t be so pessimistic…”

A-Mu knew very well whom Luo Yao was referring to and was contemplating how to console her.

At that moment.

“Eh!”

Luo Yao suddenly sat up as though she had encountered something astonishing, so much so that her fox-fur cloak slid off unnoticed, revealing a fleeting glimpse of her breathtaking figure.

“Miss, what’s wrong?”

A-Mu was startled.

After a brief daze, the sadness in Luo Yao’s brows disappeared, replaced by a delicate smile blooming like a celestial flower, radiant and enchanting: “We’re going to the Imperial City.”

“Not returning anymore?” A-Mu was surprised.

Luo Yao laughed lightly. “To meet Luo Cheng.”

A-Mu’s beautiful eyes widened. “Luo Cheng’s alive?”

Luo Yao nodded. “He just used Soul Power to access the Lingxiao Jade Token’s space and speak with me. He’s on his way to the Imperial City.”

A-Mu nodded at first, then struggled to believe it and exclaimed, almost losing composure: “Soul Power? He broke through to the Awakening Vein Realm! So soon!”

“Exactly!”

Rumble!

Two Fierce Beasts roared, rolling with Demon Qi, suddenly taking to the skies. They pulled the carriage upward, streaking across the heavens like a black bolt of lightning heading northward.

Black Wind Forest.

Luo Cheng withdrew his Soul Power, gazing at the Lingxiao Jade Token in his hand, his eyes bright.

The space within the Lingxiao Jade Token spanned a remarkable fifty meters in length and width!

It was well known that Storage Treasures were exceedingly difficult to craft.

Even the Storage Spirit Rings of Xue Yun and others were mere Two-star Treasures, with storage spaces barely two meters square!

The space inside the Lingxiao Jade Token was more than ten times larger, underscoring its extraordinary value.

No wonder Luo Yao had gifted it to him back then, and A-Mu had been so astonished.

Moreover, after imprinting the Lingxiao Jade Token with his Soul Power, Luo Cheng discovered he could use Soul Power to communicate with Luo Yao through the jade token.

According to Luo Yao, the jade token contained her bloodline aura, allowing communication within a range of ten thousand miles—though it was highly taxing on Soul Power.

They had exchanged only a few words before Luo Cheng felt his spirit growing fatigued.

“A true treasure! I’ll never have to worry about storage space again.”

Overjoyed, Luo Cheng placed the Lingxiao Jade Token close to his person and set his course, rising into the air.

The Black Wind Forest was relatively close to the Imperial City.

He and Luo Yao had agreed to meet there.

He had been troubled over how to explain everything, but now he had the perfect justification.

With the immense backing of Lingyun Pavilion, who could dare to underestimate him?
