RNP Chapter 50 Inner Palace Plot
Chapter 50 Inner Palace Plot
After the light subsided, Wen Tianren subconsciously stepped out of the teleportation array. After taking a few small steps, he looked around and was surprised to see what was happening in front of him.
The scene before my eyes was a blessed land of spiritual mountains and rivers. The sky was clear and blue, the white clouds drifted lazily, the grassland stretched out beneath my feet, and the distant mountains were verdant and the streams babbled. The air was filled with the faint fragrance of flowers and the rich spiritual energy, which was refreshing and made my mind clear.
This is no longer the Void Heaven Palace; it should be a beautiful place on land!
"To think they could create such a realistic blessed land..." Wen Tianren murmured, "The methods of ancient cultivators are truly extraordinary!"
Wen Tianren couldn't help but admire the methods of the ancient cultivators who opened up this space, as everything here was no different from the outside world.
Furthermore, this space is rich in spiritual energy, making it a blessed land for immortals. After circulating his cultivation technique, Wen Tianren felt that the spiritual energy in his body was circulating more smoothly. If he were to cultivate here, the chances of breaking through his bottleneck would likely increase significantly.
The more one observes, the more one yearns for the means of creating a world out of thin air.
I wonder when I will be able to reach that level.
After praising him, Wen Tianren made a hand seal, then a smile appeared on his lips as he sped off towards the southwest.
After flying for over a hundred miles, they stopped on a small green hill.
On the hillside, a figure in black stood holding a sword, her robes fluttering, cold as ice. It was Lady Wen, holding her sword as if waiting for something.
Wen Tianren landed in front of Madam Wen, whose gaze was sharp as she looked him up and down, as if trying to see through him.
"Your secret technique of changing your appearance is quite good. Even with my divine sense, I can't find the slightest flaw upon close inspection. Wen Tianren, instead of hiding when you see me, you actually dare to contact me. Aren't you afraid I'll hand you over to the Six Paths? Or do you think I can't capture you?" Madam Wen's expression was cold and stern, like an iceberg that never melts.
Wen Tianren smiled, his expression shifting slightly before returning to normal. He then said to Madam Wen, "Master's wife is too kind. You should know that if I hadn't escaped, given my cultivation speed, my master would probably have refined me into an incarnation within a hundred years."
Madam Wen scoffed upon hearing this: "Hmph, I knew all along why he took you in. When he took Qingyu in before, he even wanted her to be my sword-serving disciple so that she wouldn't be implicated by you. I never expected that she would defy me for your sake."
Wen Tianren was taken aback, as he knew nothing about this matter. He felt a warmth in his heart, but he quickly composed himself and looked directly at Madam Wen before continuing, "Alright, Madam, I believe you won't reveal my information, because I know that you and I are the same."
Madam Wen's eyes suddenly turned cold, and her long sword clattered three inches from its sheath: "What do you mean by this? Do you really think I won't kill you?"
Wen Tianren moved the sword pointing at him away with his hand and said calmly, "Why is Master's wife angry? Doesn't Master's wife want to know how I escaped? As you know, that old demon Liudao is wary of everyone. He had already placed a restriction on me, but I still dared to escape. Isn't Master's wife curious? Master's wife probably also has a restriction left by Liudao."
Wen Tianren's words hit Madam Wen's weak spot. She had indeed been placed under a restriction by the Six Paths Supreme Saint, but this restriction was extremely vicious and difficult to remove. Once she tried to remove it, the Six Paths Saint would notice. Even though she was a Nascent Soul cultivator and had searched through many ancient books, she was still helpless.
Thinking of Wen Tianren's escape from Liu Dao's grasp, she remained silent for a long time before finally speaking: "Could it be that you have a way to break Liu Dao's restrictions? With your cultivation level, although you have few rivals in the Core Formation stage, you simply cannot do this, can you?"
If Wen Tianren had said he had a solution in the past, Madam Wen would never have believed him. However, with a ready example before her, she had no choice but to believe him.
Seeing that Madam Wen had already considered this possibility, Wen Tianren smiled slightly and said, "I don't know the method, but I have my own means to break the restrictions that the Six Paths have left in your body..."
The sound stopped abruptly.
Madam Wen glanced at Wen Tianren, already believing him to some extent: "Tell me your conditions, and I will try my best to meet them."
"This little fox must have something on its mind to come to me," Madam Wen thought to herself.
She had already guessed what was going on when Wen Tianren sent her a telepathic message in the main hall of the Void Heaven Palace, but she didn't know why he wanted to see her. Now, with the condition of breaking her own restrictions, it was clear that he had something big in mind.
Wen Tianren's smile deepened: "Master's wife understands me best. It's like this, I wanted to enter the inner hall of the Void Heaven Palace this time. I have a friend who has a Blood Jade Spider, but the Extreme Yin Old Demon already knows about it. I think those people from the Demonic Path will definitely take him into the inner hall to retrieve the treasures in the cauldron. As a Core Formation stage cultivator, I will definitely be eliminated if I enter. I need Master's wife to take me in."
Madam Wen frowned, quite surprised by the conditions proposed by Wen Tianren: "The Blood Jade Spider is actually the most suitable spirit beast for taking the cauldron. Ji Yin and the others will definitely not let it go. However, you are only at the Core Formation stage. Even if I take you in, do you still want to covet the treasures inside?"
"Knowing who these people are, even I wouldn't dare say I'll gain anything in the inner sanctum. If you die in the inner sanctum, how can you fulfill your promise? Why don't you break the seal on my body now, and I can take you inside. I'll even protect you if necessary."
Wen Tianren, of course, would not agree, so he said, "Don't worry, Master's wife. I have had some fortuitous encounters over the years. Although my current cultivation level is still at the Core Formation stage, I am confident that ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators cannot defeat me. And I'm not just asking you to take me into the inner hall. When we retrieve the cauldron, if the Heaven-Mending Pill appears, it will definitely cause a scramble. I think that at that time, Master's wife can take action and lure away the Nascent Soul cultivators from both the righteous and demonic paths."
Only then did Madam Wen realize what Wen Tianren was planning, and she was surprised by his audacity: "It seems that Liu Dao misjudged you. You are so bold, daring to covet the Void Heaven Cauldron, the number one treasure of the Chaotic Star Sea, when you are only a Core Formation cultivator. Alright, I agree, but you must swear an oath against your inner demons, promising to help me break the restrictions afterward."
"Don't worry, Madam, I will now swear an oath against my inner demons."
Without hesitation, Wen Tianren swore an oath on the spot, and then suddenly smiled and said, "Master's wife, there is one more small matter. Qingyu has now advanced to the Core Formation stage, but the Phoenix Sword Technique that you passed on to her was incomplete. Please grant her the complete Phoenix Sword Technique."
Madam Wen looked at Wen Tianren with a meaningful gaze, and took out a jade slip and a jade pendant in the shape of a phoenix from her storage bag.
The jade pendant is pure white, with a phoenix head held high and a faint spiritual light flowing through it, clearly indicating that it is no ordinary item.
He handed the two items to Wen Tianren: "You're quite the romantic, completely different from that old devil Liudao. You're still thinking about Qingyu at this time, it's not in vain that she followed you."
"This phoenix pendant was a protective treasure I had in my early years. Please give it to Qingyu for me, and tell her that from now on she will be my personal disciple."
Wen Tianren solemnly accepted the gift: "Then I will thank Master's wife on Qingyu's behalf."
Afterwards, Wen Tianren and Madam Wen discussed some details and then went their separate ways to the second checkpoint.
Watching Wen Tianren walk away, Madam Wen's expression showed a hint of emotion, while she gripped her sword tightly with both hands.
"Liu Dao, just you wait. One day, I will avenge that blood feud. That day is not far off."
After saying that, Madam Wen reverted to her proud and aloof self and flew off in another direction.
