“Oh ho, not bad. I shall go, then.” Little Cat chuckled, and his dark body soon disappeared into the night as he headed towards Confounding City. Long Chen was also counting on Little Cat’s experience to figure out what the Five-Colored Altar was.
However, when Little Cat set off, the Primordial Dragon Talisman detached itself from Long Chen’s chest and stuck onto Little Cat’s body. Everything Long Chen had stored inside the Primordial Realm was now unavailable to him as the talisman was gone.
He just remembered that Little Cat’s soul was trapped in the Primordial Dragon Talisman. Even if Little Cat occupied another body, he could not move more than a hundred meters away from the talisman. That was why he had to take it with him to Confounding City.
“Don’t worry. You are the master of the Primordial Dragon Talisman. The moment you will it, it will fly back to your chest at a moment’s notice! Stick the Primordial Dragon Talisman onto me. I will call for you the moment I’m in danger. I will be safe since I can just hide in the Primordial Realm.”
Long Chen was originally worried, but he sighed in relief when he heard Little Cat’s explanation.
It’s indeed good news. If there’s anything that I can’t do in the future, I can just send Little Cat out to do it. If he’s in danger, I can just…
Long Chen wished for the Primordial Dragon Talisman to return. It indeed appeared in front of his chest instantly.
Before he could feel happy, Little Cat hopped out of the Primordial Realm and scolded Long Chen.
“You bastard! I told you to only recall me if there’s danger, not immediately! I was more than three hundred meters away and now I have to walk all that way again? I don’t want to do it anymore!”
Long Chen laughed when he saw how Little Cat was scolding him. But he really needed Little Cat to do it for him, so he apologized profusely…Little Cat calmed down after Long Chen apologized. “I will forgive you since it's your first day. Hmph! I won’t hold grudges against a mere ant!”
Little Cat then left again.
Long Chen calmed down after verifying that he could control the talisman from afar. He could sense the faint connection between him and the talisman, as well as Little Cat’s location. He could also sense what Little Cat was seeing and hearing.
This is amazing. This means I’ve got a moving pair of ears and eyes that I can recall at any time! Long Chen was excited.
It was indeed good news.
Long Chen was about to start cultivating when Suxue appeared beside him. “Sorry for disturbing you. I just wanted to talk to you about Jin Ling. I take it that you don't know him, right?”
He indeed knew next to nothing about the people from the Five Element Alliance, especially Jin Ling, so he nodded. “Is there anything special about him?”
Suxue pondered before explaining, “Firstly, his Golden Combat Body is at the third and final stage. It’s extremely powerful and has transformed his body considerably. I think it rivals your body. But the Golden Combat Body is not his strongest attack. His Golden Eyes of Destruction is also at the highest stage, so it can turn into another different technique. I suppose that’s one of his ultimate attacks.”
“Is that all?”
“You are underestimating him.” Suxue was nervous when she saw that Long Chen wasn’t worried. “That’s not all. Thanks to his connection with the Gold clan’s patriarch, he cultivated all five renowned techniques of the Five Element Alliance. I’ve heard that Jin Ling is a genius who can cultivate techniques with ease. He’s a hard opponent to face, so be careful. Your life will be at risk tomorrow. If my father can’t save you in time…”
Long Chen understood that she was worried about him, so he smiled. “I’ve noted down what you’ve said. He’s indeed strong, but there’s nothing he can do against me.”
Suxue realized that Long Chen needs a good punch or two sometimes. She rolled her eyes and said seriously, “But there’s something you need to know. The Five Element Alliance has a long history, so they must have a lot of treasures. I’m certain that Jin Ling will use some.”
“Treasures?” Long Chen had the Three Thousand Star Clusters, the weapon left behind by the Seven Star Lord. He was certain that it could destroy any treasures that Jin Ling had access to.
“Treasures are categorized as Divine Weapons or magical artifacts. I’m certain that Jin Ling has magical artifacts, so you cannot let your guard down tomorrow. I won’t disturb you anymore.” Suxue turned to leave. She was actually a bit frustrated because she had taken the time to warn Long Chen, but he didn’t seem to care.
“Suxue.” Long Chen raised his head and called for her.
“What’s wrong?” Suxue turned around. The cold moonlight highlighted her jade-white skin.
Long Chen felt his breath get caught when he saw how beautiful she was. Suxue was uncomfortable with how Long Chen was looking at her, and she blushed. “What do you have to say?”
Long Chen shook his head and chuckled. “Thank you. I’ve actually remembered everything you said. I will do my best to not let you down tomorrow.”
Suxue’s frustration melted away and she nodded. “Alright, I will be watching. I will do my best tomorrow too.”
Long Chen focused after Suxue left. However, he didn’t cultivate but instead turned his attention to his connection with Little Cat. Long Chen could sense everything around Little Cat, including noises. Currently, the Primordial Dragon Talisman was merged onto Little Cat’s chest. Long Chen had a strange feeling that he became Little Cat, with his eyes and ears sharing the same senses.
However, he could not control Little Cat’s movements.
Little Cat was currently walking around in the middle of Confounding City at night. Long Chen memorized the path to the middle of the city and Little Cat seemed to have sensed it too. Though he usually looked like an oaf, Little Cat was actually very meticulous. His small body would not alert anyone as he walked inside the city.
It was eerily spooky in Confounding City during the night. A cold wind blew past the city, as if a monster was passing through. Long Chen even sensed that Little Cat shivered and sneezed a few times.
Little Cat reached the center of the city in a few minutes. This was where Long Chen had defeated Feng Zhilin. Little Cat stepped around with his little paws and looked around carefully.
After ensuring that nobody was nearby, Little Cat moved towards where the Five-Colored Altar had appeared.
Did you find anything? Long Chen realized that he could speak to Little Cat using the connection to the Primordial Dragon Talisman. Little Cat naturally heard the question in his mind.
Shoo. Don’t disturb me. I’ve just arrived.
The Five-Colored Altar puzzled Little Cat too. He circled around the place to find out what was going on.
Five colors… It must have been left behind by the Five Emperors. They did say that they left a secret realm. Hey, do you think it could be the entrance? Little Cat hypothesized.
Long Chen thought about it. Hmm… This is the Eternal Battlefield in the middle of the Ancient Graveyard. You should be standing in the middle of the entire Ancient Graveyard. I think you might be right. The strange phenomena should be the entrance to the supposed secret realm. I think we need five keys to open it, so there’s nothing we can do now.
Little Cat nodded. The altar isn’t appearing. I don’t know when it will appear again. Maybe I can stay here and observe it for a bit. I will come back at dawn if nothing happens.
Alright.
Long Chen nodded and continued to search for clues using Little Cat’s senses. After checking that nothing was wrong, he started cultivating.
Time passed, and he remained immersed in cultivation until he sensed an alarming dread. Long Chen snapped out of his cultivation to check on Little Cat. He hadn’t asked Long Chen to recall the talisman yet, though he was hiding in it nervously.
What’s wrong? Long Chen used the connection to look using Little Cat’s eyes. He saw six mysterious people wearing black robes standing where the Five-Colored Altar had appeared. Their robes were large and their veils were even larger, completely obscuring them.
It’s them!
Those six people were undeniably the six people that Su Yan had described. Even Long Chen couldn’t tell who they were right now.
But he could sense the dreadful pressure emanating from them, one that was even stronger than what Bai Lan could release.
Little Cat was hiding far away, so they hadn’t sensed him yet. Even then, Long Chen could tell that Little Cat was shivering in fear.
