Necropolis Immortal

Lu Yun extended his hand and clutched at the southern sky.

Whoosh!

A ball of extremely pure fire essence landed between his fingers.

“Is that enough?” He looked at the empress.

She stared at the ball of elemental energy, flabbergasted.
Such power should’ve been the exclusive domain of the four sacred beasts, or the legendary divine spirits of the four cardinal directions!

Yet a cultivator who’d stepped into the nascent spirit realm not too long ago had summoned a ball of fire essence with incredible ease! Didn’t that violate every principle of the universe?

No, in the here and now, the universe itself seemed within his grasp!

“Not enough?” With a slight frown, Lu Yun clutched southward again and grabbed an even bigger ball of essence.

“Stop, that shall suffice!” Empress Myrtlestar waved her hand to completely seal off the room with a flash of violet light.

……

“Is he starting?” Drinking wine somewhere in the manor, Chen Xiao and Qing Buyi’s hands stilled as they looked toward the room.

“What powerful strength.
How unexpected that not even the two of us can see what’s happening inside! The kid does indeed have a few tricks up his sleeve,” Qing Buyi tutted.

“Why does it feel similar to an energy I’ve also sensed from Little Yu?” Chen Xiao tilted his head to the side.
“It’s probably from something else the kid gave her.
Is he really unaware that Qing Han and Qing Yu are one and the same?”

“After you left yesterday, he told me that Qing Han occupies a greater place in his heart than Qing Yu.
He doesn’t even know if he really likes Little Yu.” Qing Buyi happily sipped a mouthful of wine and wobbled his head.
“The kid isn’t wrong.
He’s yet to see her real self and doesn’t even know who Little Yu is, so any talk of genuine sentiment would be pure gibberish! He likes Little Yu because Qing Han is Little Yu.
His feelings for Qing Han are true, so his feelings for Little Yu are also genuine.”

“Tsk.” Chen Xiao pursed his lips and stayed silent.

……

“From now on, never ever expose this power of yours in front of outsiders!” Empress Myrtlestar’s expression was extremely grave.
“The power of the five connate elements is not the domain of cultivators or immortals! This is an innate ability belonging to the four sacred beasts and the divine spirits of the four cardinal directions! You shall never know a moment of respite if the descendants of the cardinal spirits were to learn of your existence.”

It hadn’t been long since the empress’ obsession had fused with the fragment of her soul, so she didn’t have the time to spare to constantly keep an eye on the outside world.
Only now did she realize where the elemental energy surrounding Qing Han had originated.

Lu Yun froze, then nodded.
“Got it.
Is this much fire essence enough?”

“It is.” The empress nodded gently.
“Leave the rest to me.
You should rest and prepare for the ancient legacy.

“The lord who fell in Dusk Province is named ‘Lord Sugato’, the greatest lord serving under Emperor Polaris.
There’s a treasure inside his Sword Pagoda called the Philosopher’s Jewel.
It would be immensely useful in restoring my physical body, so I hope you can help me secure it.”

“Alright,” he agreed.

Empress Myrtlestar had been buried in the province a hundred thousand years ago, ample time for her obsession to gain its own self-awareness.
Given that, it was no surprise that she knew of everything that had transpired in Dusk Province and was aware of the ancient lord’s identity.

“You can use Lord Sugato’s legacy to buy hearts and sell favors, but you ought to keep the Sword Pagoda itself.
It’s a peerless immortal-grade item called the Sugato Sword, and it once destroyed a connate treasure.
It is worthy of being labeled ‘ultimate of all’.
Your Violetgrave is much too uncanny, and devoured all of its previous owners.
In comparison, the Sugato Sword is more suitable as your personal weapon.”
