I Fabricated the Techniques, but my disciple really mastered them?-Chapter 678 - 359 Mysterious Stone House, The Secret of Wu Country_2

The Emperor of Wu was not content and continued to speak.

However, no matter what he said, no matter how he tried to provoke the other party, the stone house remained eerily silent, with not a hint of response.

"Has it really disappeared?"

The Emperor of Wu walked out of the stone house, frowning with a look of confusion on his face.

"Forget it, no one knows what's going on with this thing anyway."

With a shake of his head and a sense of disappointment that he couldn't flaunt as intended, it wasn't anything too critical in his mind.

After staying a few days in the old lands of Wu Country, the Emperor of Wu returned to the Great Wilderness City.

As soon as he came back, he learned of Xu Yan's return from the Spiritual Realm and that, seemingly, Xu Yan had provided fortuitous opportunities to those officers, bestowing wondrous pills and spiritual items.

"Although I am one of the two emperors of the Great Wilderness, with lofty status, such treasures are difficult to come by..."

The Emperor of Wu sighed.

Ask Lord Guo for treasures necessary for martial arts cultivation?

What if this causes dissatisfaction in Lord Guo, making him feel like he wants too much, alienating and isolating him, wouldn't that make things difficult?

The Emperor of Wu was filled with anxiety. freewēbnoveℓ.com

He knew that to suppress Emperor Qi, he needed to obtain precious treasures.

"Exchange, I can trade!"

The Emperor of Wu suddenly brightened up, as if he had thought of something.

But then he hesitated again, "That expert stayed in the Border Wilderness for some time; would he not know about the mysterious voice from that little stone house?

"The expert left the Border Wilderness and went to the Spiritual Realm, and now that voice has also disappeared; could it be related?"

The Emperor of Wu was torn.

He believed that the mysterious stone house was a valuable item for exchange.

But what if the expert already knew about the stone house?

For a while, the Emperor of Wu was undecided and became increasingly irritable.

"Wu youngster, come and fight!"

The arrogant voice of Emperor Qi came.

The two emperors of the Great Wilderness needed to determine who was stronger and who was weaker, and when they had nothing better to do, they would clash with each other, but neither could gain the upper hand.

"I'm busy!"

The Emperor of Wu, already in a bad mood, refused outright.

"Are you scared? I'm stronger than you now, come and let me beat you up for fun!"

But Emperor Qi was relentless.

"Heh, old Qi. If it weren't for Lord Guo cutting you some slack because of your loyalty, could you fight to a draw with me?"

The Emperor of Wu sneered.

Since Emperor Qi insisted on a fight, then they might as well battle and vent his frustration.

"That was also due to my own capabilities!"

Emperor Qi said proudly.

The two emperors of the Great Wilderness began their duel in the palace square, a sight that had become commonplace for the imperial guards.

As a result of the battle, the Emperor of Wu was defeated!

With a bruised face and a look of bewilderment.

"Old Qi, how… how could you possibly!"

The Emperor of Wu's face was filled with disbelief.

Emperor Qi was triumphant, arrogantly saying, "I, having a close relationship with Xu Yan, received advice and gifted treasures from him. How could you ever be my match?

"From now on, I am the foremost of the two emperors of the Great Wilderness!"

Emperor Qi was very pleased with himself; he felt the best decision he had ever made was to let Xu Yan enter his harem to view the beauties back then.

It was said that Xu Yan was refining his temperament.

As to why he went to the harem for tempering, it's said that the actions of such exceptional beings are always different from the rest.

Because of that relationship, when Xu Yan returned, Emperor Qi shamelessly sought an audience and reminisced, praising how Xu Yan had remained clear-hearted and unmoved by beauty in his harem.

The goal was to seek benefits.

After receiving guidance and benefits from Xu Yan, and thus strengthening his own power, Emperor Qi came to beat up the Emperor of Wu.

"Haha, I am the true first emperor of the Great Wilderness; how could you compare to me?"

Emperor Qi left triumphantly.

The Emperor of Wu was utterly disheartened, but ultimately, he set his teeth and made up his mind to seek benefits from the expert!

He had to take back what he had lost!

...

Li Xuan had been busy for half a month and finally returned to Canglan Island, sitting in a chair, continuing with his grand martial arts endeavor.

The Divine Skill Martial Code was still being written.

The subsequent martial arts cultivation was also continuously being refined.

With the opening of the Divine Bridge fast approaching, it meant that the time to leave was nearing.

When he would return to the Great Wilderness again was unknown.

Everything had been properly arranged, the development of the Great Wilderness was on the right track, and security would not be an issue. Xu Yan could set out on his adventures with peace of mind.

Cai Ling'er and Yue'er had also returned.

"We're about to return to the Spiritual Realm."

Yun Miaomiao gazed at every blade of grass and tree on Canglan Island with a look of reluctance to leave.

The Red Cat lay next to Mother Xu in the Spirit Fruit orchard, watching her fiddling with a formation chart while continuing to teach it to recognize words and other knowledge.

This departure was indefinite, with no knowing when they would return.

That day, unexpectedly, there came a visitor seeking an audience.

The Emperor of Wu!

He did not come to seek an audience with Xu Yan, nor did he come to meet Meng Chong and others, but to meet the esteemed Li Xuan.

"Elder, should I go and decline his request for an audience?"

Xu Junhe asked.

"Let him come."

Li Xuan pondered for a moment before deciding to let the Emperor of Wu come to see what he wanted.

The reason Li Xuan agreed to see the Emperor of Wu was because he recalled the Book of Taicang, which had been discovered in the royal treasury of the Emperor of Wu.

It was perhaps some kind of fate.

The Emperor of Wu followed Xu Junhe nervously and excitedly, arriving before the esteemed figure.

With a thud, he kowtowed to the ground.

"Greetings to the esteemed one!"

The Emperor of Wu bowed reverently.

"Rise, what brings you to seek me?"

Li Xuan spoke indifferently.

The Emperor of Wu lifted his head, glanced at Xu Junhe beside him, and hesitated slightly.

With a twitch of his mouth, Xu Junhe wondered if the Emperor of Wu had come to complain? And was he worried that Xu Junhe might hear?

After bowing to Li Xuan, Xu Junhe turned to leave.

Li Xuan smiled and said, "Speak, what matter is so secretive?"

"To answer the esteemed one, there is a hidden place in the Wu Country Royal Palace, a small stone house, very peculiar, with a mystic voice inside..."

The Emperor of Wu did not hesitate and revealed the secret of the small stone house.

Li Xuan was initially unconcerned, listening with a smile as though the secret mattered little to him or as if he already knew it.

In truth, however, his heart was anything but calm.

A small stone house, a mystic voice?

The Border Wilderness Wasteland concealed such a mysterious place, which might involve the secrets of Taicang!

"The Book of Taicang appeared in the collection of Wu, could it be related to this mystic voice? Could it be that he is the master of the Book of Taicang?"

At this thought, Li Xuan tensed up.

The master of the Book of Taicang would surely be extremely powerful.

Yet, according to the Emperor of Wu, the mystic voice seemed unable to leave the stone house and had no power to attack.

It appeared to be bound, even sealed.

"...but recently, that voice has seemed to disappear, no matter how I call, there is no response."

With trepidation, the Emperor of Wu finished speaking while quietly observing the esteemed figure's expression.

The esteemed one sat there, his expression calm, always smiling, with no surprise or shock, as if he had known all along.

"Indeed! The esteemed one is aware; how could the secrets of the Border Wilderness Wasteland escape the esteemed one," thought the Emperor of Wu, somewhat disheartened.

"Since it is your Wu Country's secret, then keep it well and no need to speak of it to others,"

Li Xuan said with a smile after letting him finish.

"Yes, esteemed one, this junior understands!"

The Emperor of Wu felt utterly dejected, understanding that the esteemed one already knew these so-called secrets, which meant he was being told not to divulge the ancestral secret.

It also became clear to him that divulging the secret was intended to gain benefits.

In that instant, the Emperor of Wu felt a sense of shame and regret for his decision, afraid that he had left a poor impression on the esteemed one!

"Take these, practice well!"

With a flick of his hand, Li Xuan gave the Emperor of Wu a booklet and a bottle of pills.

The booklet naturally contained Martial Arts Techniques, simple ones, but for martial artists like the Emperor of Wu, they were immensely powerful. Once mastered, his strength would surge among peers of the same realm.

The pills were also for aiding cultivation and were of no low grade, sufficient for the Emperor of Wu's needs.

The talents of the Emperor of Wu weren't poor but weren't particularly impressive either, nowhere near Xu Junhe or Kou Ruozhi. With these Martial Arts Techniques and pills, he would still lag far behind Xu Junhe and Kou Ruozhi and the others.

"Thank you, esteemed one! Thank you, esteemed one!"

The Emperor of Wu was overjoyed.

His eyes were moist with gratitude. The esteemed one truly had the magnanimity of one who embraces the domain, not minding his petty thoughts, and instead indulged them.

Graciously accepting the booklet and pills, the Emperor of Wu bowed deeply and said, "This junior will surely heed the esteemed one's teachings, hold the secret to death, and never leak the slightest!"

"Mhm!"

Li Xuan nodded, satisfied with his attitude.

After this incident, Li Xuan believed the Emperor of Wu would no longer mention the Mysterious Stone House to anyone else.

As for silence through murder, Li Xuan disdained to commit such an act for a mere secret. Besides, with the Emperor of Wu guarding it, the Mysterious Stone House was even less likely to have its secrets discovered by outsiders.
