Battle Through the Heavens, Reborn as Xiao Yan's Sister

Chapter 108 The Soul Palace Reappears
The town has a small population.
It has a population of only about 10,000 to 20,000, but it is small yet complete.

Xiao Wu's family's inn is located on a street in the town. The first floor is a canteen where guests can drink and eat. Most of the people who come and go here are caravans, adventurers, and mercenaries.

The lobby on the first floor at this time
The tables were laden with rum beer brewed from coarse barley, and sat burly mercenaries and adventurers in leather armor carrying greatswords, as well as some bull-horned people, werewolves, rabbit-eared girls, and so on.

The local customs here are more like the medieval Western fantasy style that Xiao Yue remembered from her previous life, which is completely different from the Gama Empire, which is more oriental.

After following the bunny-eared girl into the inn, Xiao Yue and Yun Yun found an empty table in the corner and sat down. The bunny girl named Xiao Wu enthusiastically went to the kitchen and brought out some pastries and tea.

"Speaking of which, what exactly is the purpose of your trip to the Mulan Empire?" Xiao Yue ignored the mischievous little snake that was stealing pastries and looked at Yun Yun with some curiosity.

"This matter dates back to several hundred years ago, to the founding ancestor of my Yunlan Sect..." Yun Yun didn't intend to hide anything and slowly began to speak.

Venerable Cangyun - Yun Potian.

This name was not unfamiliar to Xiao Yue.

The other party was a Dou Zun super powerhouse who came from the remote region of the Jia Ma Empire hundreds of years ago. He left a very strong mark on the history of the Jia Ma Empire and even the history of the entire Northwest Continent. Xiao Yue had seen his deeds in the imperial history books.

Looking at the other person's life in historical records, it can be said that it was full of legendary elements.

Even many of the "autobiographies" that Xiao Yue read when she was a child were written based on this person. There was no way around it; as a poor boy who rose from the remote region of the Jia Ma Empire and grew step by step into a Dou Zun-level powerhouse, this person's story had too many inspirational elements, which made him very popular among some young people.

As the old man once said, "If we were from the same era, then this guy could barely be compared to me." Whether he was exaggerating or not, Xiao Yue didn't take it seriously.

However, even in the Central Continent, where powerful figures abound, a Dou Zun expert is a top-tier, influential figure.

"Years ago, after our ancestor broke through to the Dou Zun realm, he established a sect within the Jia Ma Empire, leaving behind his legacy. After that, he began to travel the continent. Since then, our Yunlan Sect has never seen our ancestor return." As she said this, a hint of helplessness appeared on Yun Yun's face.

Nearly a thousand years have passed.
The position of sect leader of Yunlan Sect has changed hands several times, and there has been no news of it.

Some speculate that the Venerable Cangyun of yesteryear has already passed away or perished, while others speculate that he has gone to the Central Continent and is now one foot in the Dou Sheng realm, searching for an opportunity to break through to Dou Sheng in some corner of the continent.

In short, the once renowned Venerable Cangyun has been completely lost to this day.

Recently, news has surfaced that a strange ruin has been discovered in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range of the Mulan Empire, which is suspected to be related to the Venerable Cangyun from back then? After receiving the information, Yun Yun decided to go and see what was going on.

"Over the years, our Yunlan Sect has suffered several major calamities, which has led to the incompleteness of our main inherited cultivation techniques. The original Earth-rank technique, Yunlan Sword Art, is missing the part about breaking through to the Dou Zong level, which has resulted in three consecutive sect leaders of our Yunlan Sect being stuck at the peak of the Dou Huang level."

“My master almost went mad while trying to deduce that incomplete part…” Yun Yun sighed.

"I see. The Yunlan Sect's inherited cultivation method has become incomplete. This is indeed a major event." Xiao Yue pondered for a moment, then asked, "However, do you think that ruin is really related to that Venerable Cangyun?"

Yun Yun shook her head, "I don't know either, but I have to go and see for myself. After all, he is the founding ancestor of our Yunlan Sect. If we can find clues related to him, it may have a significant impact on the future of our Yunlan Sect." Xiao Yue nodded knowingly upon hearing this.

She understood that the other party probably came with the hope of finding the complete cultivation technique at that site, even though she knew it was a slim chance, it was still better than doing nothing.

……

……

……

at the same time,

On the other side, in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountains in the northern part of the Mulan Empire, the mountains rise and fall, ancient trees reach for the sky, and it is a primeval forest.

At this moment, in a relatively open area in the southwest of the mountain range, several people in black robes stood quietly, their figures appearing and disappearing among the trees, as if they had blended into the surrounding darkness.

If Xiao Yue were here,
She could definitely tell from their aura that these black-robed men were Soul Palace Soul Collectors who had met her once before!
“According to our intelligence, the sealed ruins should be nearby…” a man in black robes said in a deep voice, his voice cold and strange, revealing an unquestionable aura.

“We’ve been searching here for days, but we’ve found nothing,” another man in black robes complained, his words revealing a hint of impatience.

“Be patient. The Venerable One’s sealed ruins are not so easy to find,” the first black-robed man replied calmly. “Besides, even if we find them, they may not be what we want.”

"Hmph, no matter what, we must gain something this time," the third man in black sneered. "Otherwise, we won't be able to explain ourselves to the Dharma Protector when we get back."

“No need to worry. As long as we find the sealed ruins, whatever secrets they hold will belong to the Soul Palace.” The first man in black robes had a cold glint in his eyes, clearly determined to succeed in this operation.

"But speaking of which, is that guy called Venerable Cangyun really that powerful?" a man in black robes asked doubtfully, seemingly not very familiar with the name.

"Hmph, a Dou Zun powerhouse from hundreds of years ago was naturally a renowned figure, but now..." The first black-robed man sneered, "Even if it's a Dou Zun powerhouse's seal, my body has been dead for so many years, it should have decayed by now."

"Hehehe, the sealed land of an eighth-order Netherworld Python, even if only its remnant soul remains now, is enough to make people's hearts flutter. No wonder the Dharma Protector is so interested, hehehe..." someone sneered.

"So what should we do next? Continue searching here?" another man in black robes asked.

"No, we've already wasted too much time. Other forces in the Luoyan Empire have also received the news, and this place will be exposed soon." The first man in black robes shook his head.
"Notify the other teams to expand their search area and find the sealed ruins as quickly as possible."

"Yes!"

The men in black robes responded in unison, then turned and disappeared into the darkness.
