Translator: Sigma_ Editor: SSins
Finally, Cecilia and Shi Yan had an agreement.
Stroking the Fantasy Sky Ring, Shi Yan's face was filled with satisfaction. He suddenly found that he had collected a lot of rare treasures on this ancient continent. Now, he was eager to see what was awaiting him.
Being one of the five ancient continents, Desolate wasn't similar to the other four. It didn't give birth to any creature, but it contained a lot of earth and heaven natural products. It would open every ten thousand years. No one knew f this planet had full consciousness.
Thinking about the possibility that the ground under his feet was a special living being, Shi Yan felt his hair rise on his nape.
It felt like there was a pair of eyes observing everybody every minute. Each warrior placing his feet on this continent couldn't dodge its observation. At the same time, they would never know what the planet had in its mind or what it thought.
No doubt it was really annoying.
"You guys... traded with other people?"
While Shi Yan fell into his thought, Shang Ying Yue came, her face hanging a satisfied smile. She was in a good mood, indeed.
Shi Yan was bewildered for a while. He couldn't help but look at Audrey over Shang Ying Yue's shoulder. He saw that the woman was still coldly and proudly sitting quietly. The other four warriors of the Imperial Dark Tribe were surrounding and protecting her. Their faces scared off people.
"In fact, she's nice." Shang Ying Yue thought for a while and then talked in her cold but clear voice. "It's not hard to talk to her. She's fair and reasonable. She's not as haughty and tyrannical as we thought."
The transaction between Shang Ying Yue and Audrey was likely delightful. Since they had arrived her, Shang Ying Yue didn't like Audrey and now, she was saying good things about Audrey. It surprised Cecilia a lot. She then looked at Shang Ying Yue with a little bit of oddness.
"When I came here, she told me that Haig didn't dare to come. She said we could go around freely but shouldn't go too far away. We don't want to see troubles. She asked me to tell you that you shouldn't consume your energy too much." Shang Ying Yue looked at Shi Yan.
"Why does she care about Shi Yan a lot?" Cecilia had many thoughts in her mind. "Does she want to break the barrier? Haig's force is on the other side of the barrier and they are really strong. We should be thankful that they didn't come to us. I hope she won't do anything stupid."
"Harrumph!"
However, at this moment, Audrey's cold voice arose. Her cold eyes gazing at Cecilia had chilled the woman and made her change her face.
Audrey's realm was profound and the Imperial Dark Tribe was famous for their attainment in cultivating the soul altar in the whole cosmos. Her sensibility was super strong. Thus, even if she didn't want to eavesdrop, something could still come into her ears.
"Cough! Cough! I think we should cultivate for a while. Haig's troop hasn't come yet. We still have time, right?" Cecilia jolted up reluctantly, looking at Shi Yan and then at Shang Ying Yue. She suggested, "The three of us should team up."
Some people had completed their transactions. Some still stayed but some had already left quietly.
They would group up. In any circumstance, they would never go alone. Apparently, they wanted to use the materials they've just got to cultivate and increase their realm and power, especially their fighting competence.
It wasn't their home here so everybody had to be very careful. They had to stay alert of ambush. To ensure safety, they could find a partner to watch out for each other. It was the safest way to cultivate here.
People left in pairs or more than two and scattered.
"Should we leave out of the range of one hundred miles," Audrey's voice arose all of a sudden.
"What do you think?" Cecilia looked at Shang Ying Yue and Shi Yan.
"I'm cool with that," Shang Ying Yue nodded. "It's necessary to watch out for each other. I can ease my mind if I go with you guys. I agree." She looked at Shi Yan.
As she had just sealed her deal with Shi Yan and she needed his favor, Shi Yan assumed that Cecilia wouldn't harm him. At the same time, Shang Ying Yue was Shang Chen's daughter. Spending time with her for a while, Shi Yan knew that this woman looked cold but she actually had a warm heart. It was worth being friends with her.
Compared to Mo Fou, Sha Zhao, and Wu Feng who were cunning bastards, Cecilia and Shang Ying Yue were much safer choices. If he cooperated with them, everybody could feel safe.
"Okay, let's do that."
Shi Yan stood up, smiling and walking away.
Mo Fou, Wu Feng, Jiao Shan, and Jiao Hai saw him leaving. They thought and then clamored as they wanted to pair with him to cultivate. They knew Shi Yan could see the commotions around. As they needed a secluding place to cultivate, they remembered Shi Yan's ability.
Unfortunately, Cecilia and Shang Ying Yue had grouped up with Shi Yan one step ahead of them. Seeing the man leaving with the two women, they all had confused looks.
Audrey also looked at Shi Yan's group of three. Her long eyelashes twitched and gave an unrecognizable frown.
Shi Yan's group of three left the horde of people and slowly speeded. Shi Yan guided them and dashed away, going into a deep area where big trees towered and shaded the whole sky. They stopped by a grand mountain.
The flank of this mountain was filled with many jet-black caves where the wind howled and whistled fiercely. It seemed like this mountain was strangely hollow.
Shi Yan took in the picture. He frowned and then said, "Someone is in there. We need to find another place. Follow me."
Ten minutes later, they appeared by a big, crystal-clear lake surrounded by big ancient trees. Under the bright light from the stars, this lake looked like a fulgent mirror without a single ripple. The fresh steam hovered and sent them a refreshing feeling.
The pretty eyes of Cecilia and Shang Ying Yue twinkled. They both saw joy in each other's eyes. The women hesitated for a while before starting to cheer.
"Shi Yan, we want to take a bath in this lake for a while. You watch out for us first. After we're done, we'll guard you." Cecilia turned her head and smiled charmingly. She couldn't conceal the joy on her face.
All women loved to stay clean and hygienic. As they'd went through the swamp and many other things, they had a lot of dirt and stains on their bodies. Seeing that beautiful lake, they, of course, wished to enjoy it.
"Okay, enjoy. I'll stay close by to watch over you guys. I will stop anyone who comes near." Shi Yan nodded, perching on a branch of a big tree and backing from the lake as if he wouldn't sneak on them.
"It's okay. I'm not afraid that you would sneak on us. Haha, you've seen a lot of mine, anyway."
Cecilia smiled charmingly. She jumped into the lake, swimming and drifting around like a mermaid. She looked really joyful.
She was swimming in the lake, but she didn't use the light curtain to cover herself. Thus, she got wet immediately. The clear lake made her porcelain body visible even from underwater, which was mesmerizingly creamy and shiny.
Shang Ying Yue was a little hesitant. She glanced at Shi Yan. Eventually, she couldn't endure the enticement of the lake. Just like a blue bolt of lightning, she shot into the lake and tried to stay away from Cecilia and further away from Shi Yan. She immersed in the lake. While watching Shi Yan, she took off her clothes gingerly. She was afraid that Shi Yan would turn around to peep on her.
Shang Ying Yue and Cecilia enjoyed the coolness and rare. It was refreshing and they were joyous from the lake. They played with water, splashing and bathing their bright skinned bodies.
Shi Yan stood neatly in the thick woods. Hesitating, he released the co-soul to check around to make sure that no one came near. Then, he took out the Scarlet Flaming Heart he had just got.
The Scarlet Flaming Heart was slightly bigger than his fist. It was as garnet as the red iron. However, it felt natural in his hand without fierce energy fluctuations. At first glance, it was dull and nothing special.
Of course, Shi Yan knew its real face wasn't that.
Sizzle! Sizzle!
Space power was sent to his fingertip. A space blade slowly emerged. When he flickered his finger, the seal covering the Scarlet Flaming Heart was torn off as if it was made of fabric.
As the seal was broken in the corner, a flow of flaming energy rolled out massively. Shortly after, the seal was burned down. A warm, beautifully red stone appeared in the palm of his hand. It had a powerful flaming aura of the sun. It felt like he was holding a sun in his hand.
His hand started to smoke. Even his tenacious God Body couldn't stand its heat. His palm was burned and it was smoking.
His thoughts flickered in pain. He immediately urged the soul altar to use Star power. Countless dots of starlight twinkled, covering the Scarlet Flaming Heart instantaneously. The fiery aura that could burn Shi Yan's God Body was covered by the starlight shortly after.
A hot aura immediately emitted, mingling with the Star power Upanishad in his soul altar. It also had a subtle, marvelous connection with the star in his Ethereal Extent.
Shi Yan smiled suddenly.
He quietly grabbed the Scarlet Flaming Heart and squeezed. The Scarlet Flaming Heart disappeared abruptly and left no beam of aura.
Inside the Ethereal Extent, the Scarlet Flaming Heart that was as vast as the galaxy reappeared. It was now a sun releasing light and heat in his Ethereal Extent, bringing warmth to his freezing cold Ethereal Extent. It also sublimated his soul.
The Scarlet Flaming Heart wasn't really precious to Cecilia and Riello, but it was very valuable to Shi Yan. When the Scarlet Flaming Heart had entered his Ethereal Extent, his soul altar also changed. A gold light curtain of the sun was now covering his soul altar and deepening his knowledge of Star power Upanishad.
Shi Yan quieted down his mind to comprehend and cultivate.
A hidden aura was suddenly reflected in his mind. Shi Yan who was happily studying the Essence of the Ethereal Extent had to wake up and he frowned.
The co-soul danced away from his pupil. Shi Yan used the co-soul to sense for a while, retrieved it, and then got up. He glided like a ghost with a dark face to a corner of the lake.
He detected someone sneaking up on him and coming near.
That person had a clear purpose. He wanted to get into the lake and peep on Cecilia and Shang Ying Yue. He possibly wanted to do something ambiguous.
