Hearing this, Su Molan and Pei Qiyu finally understood. No wonder the guy had been recommending it all along; he had his own agenda.

They weren’t surprised that Shi Wuming would have such thoughts.

Ning Yuzhou’s abilities were known to anyone who had interacted with him. It was impossible to gauge his limits, and judging him solely by his cultivation level would be a grave mistake.

As for Wen Qiao, although she didn’t possess Ning Yuzhou’s unfathomable skills, she was still a formidable fighter and could hold her own in critical moments. Shi Wuming regarded her as an Emperor Yuan realm cultivator—after all, Wen Qiao wasn’t intimidated by Emperor Yuan realm opponents.

Ning Yuzhou raised his hand, signaling him to calm down, and then said slowly, “We need to go to the Tianzhen Alliance, and it would be best if we could join it.”

“The Tianzhen Alliance?” Pei Qiyu was puzzled. “What do you plan to do?”

Ning Yuzhou didn’t hide anything from him. “We come from the Holy Martial Continent. Due to some unforeseen circumstances, we ended up in the Endless Sea and have been searching for a way back to the Holy Martial Continent for years. We’ve obtained a map of the Endless Sea and confirmed the location of the Holy Martial Continent, but unfortunately, the distance is too great to cross by sea. We can only look for a continental teleportation array related to the Holy Martial Continent.”

Upon hearing this, Shi Wuming finally understood.

“You want to go to the Tianzhen Alliance to find a continental teleportation array related to the Holy Martial Continent?”

“Yes, we have to try.”

Shi Wuming thought for a moment and said, “When do you plan to go to the Tianzhen Alliance? Actually, I don’t recommend joining the Tianzhen Alliance. I’ve heard that the array masters there are very domineering. They rely on their array skills and consider themselves superior, and they are all stubborn old men who won’t listen to reason. If they detect any ulterior motives, they won’t let you off easily.”

“I know.” Ning Yuzhou had already made up his mind. “I am also an array master, so I’ll give it a try.”

Seeing that he had a plan, Shi Wuming knew that with his abilities, he could probably fool those old men in the Tianzhen Alliance, but it would take a lot of time and involve considerable risk.

“Don’t rush into it. I’ll return to my sect and help you search for information on this matter.” Shi Wuming, feeling good about himself, said, “We’re friends, so there’s no need to be formal with me.”

Ning Yuzhou replied, “Isn’t that the least I can do? You owe us a debt of gratitude. By the way, when will you return the Bone Return Token?”

After leaving the Thirteen Palaces of Dry Bones, Shi Wuming hadn’t returned the Bone Return Token to them.

As for the Bone Return Tokens that Su Molan and Pei Qiyu had, Ning Yuzhou didn’t ask for them back, allowing them to keep them. When their cultivation levels improved, they could return to the Thirteen Palaces of Dry Bones.

There were many opportunities within the Thirteen Palaces of Dry Bones, and cultivators who entered could always gain something. This showed how valuable the Bone Return Tokens were; each one could spark intense competition.

Shi Wuming stiffened for a moment, then quickly changed the subject. “Oh, let’s not talk about the Bone Return Token! That’s so hurtful! Brother Ning, I’ll immediately return to my sect to gather information for you. Just wait for me.”

Without giving them a chance to respond, he ran off like a streak of smoke.

Seeing him run so fast, Pei Qiyu couldn’t help but tut.

Looking at Ning Yuzhou, he still maintained his gentle and composed demeanor, not taking the Bone Return Token that Shi Wuming had kept as a big deal. Mentioning it earlier seemed more like a casual thought that had just crossed his mind.

Wen Qiao asked Su Molan, “When do you plan to leave for Red Sun Villa?”

Su Molan replied, “Master Shi said that Red Sun Villa is quite far from Seven Stars City. Even if we travel by flying boat, it will take one to two months. We’ll leave two months in advance. For now, we’ll stay in our cave dwellings and cultivate.”

Su Xing climbed onto Wen Qiao’s shoulder and asked eagerly, “Sister Wen, are you really not coming with us?”

“No.” Wen Qiao patted its head. “You guys go ahead. Su Xing, you can sense the presence of immortal artifacts, which gives you an advantage. Be careful when you act.”

Su Xing felt a bit sad but didn’t force them.

After chatting for a while, Pei Qiyu and Su Molan returned to their neighboring cave dwelling to cultivate, while Ning Yuzhou and Wen Qiao attended to their own affairs.

Ning Yuzhou took out a piece of divine wood and prepared to refine a divine token.

Refining a divine token required a significant amount of time and effort. Ning Yuzhou planned to refine a divine token for Wen Qiao’s protection before setting out for the Tianzhen Alliance.

Although the imperial-level spirit artifact, the Immortal Control Bracelet, provided excellent defense, it still couldn’t match the supreme quality of a divine token.

The two life-threatening situations Wen Qiao had encountered were both resolved by the divine token refined from divine wood, demonstrating its effectiveness, which was far superior to an imperial-level spirit artifact.

Just as he finished refining a divine token, Shi Wuming came again, bringing news about the Holy Martial Continent.

Chapter 321

Shi Wuming excitedly said upon seeing them, “The Bi Lin Shuttle Mirror has records of the Holy Martial Continent’s location.”

“The Bi Lin Shuttle Mirror?”

Everyone looked at Shi Wuming in confusion, except for Ning Yuzhou, whose expression flickered with thought.

Shi Wuming nodded. “Yes, the Bi Lin Shuttle Mirror can traverse space. As long as it’s within the same realm, no distance is too far.”

The same realm naturally referred to the lower realms. If it wasn’t within the lower realms, traversal wouldn’t be possible.

Hearing this, everyone understood.

The function of the Bi Lin Shuttle Mirror was akin to a Yuan Sheng Realm cultivator tearing through space and freely traversing it, saving time and effort while ensuring high safety.

Though they didn’t know what the Bi Lin Shuttle Mirror was, its ability to transport cultivators through space alone indicated its value and rarity. Setting aside why it had records of the Holy Martial Continent, where did this thing come from?

Wen Qiao asked, “How did you learn about the Bi Lin Shuttle Mirror? Could it be... the Bi Lin Shuttle Mirror is the Seven Soul Sect’s most treasured possession?”

Shi Wuming said proudly, “Otherwise, how could I know so much? I even found the location of the Holy Martial Continent on it.”

The others looked at him, their feelings mixed.

Ignoring his smug expression, Shi Wuming’s words revealed his status within the Seven Soul Sect.
