The Sanctum Heads heaved collective sighs of relief when Aphrodite was successfully trapped within the bell. "Quickly activate the highest restrictions on the artifact lest she finds a way to escape," Idzou still felt a bit uneasy and spoke to remind Ze. As Sanctum Heads, they possessed enough political immunity to avoid getting killed or imprisoned by Aphrodite, but it was a different story if she took the chance to invoke the Heavenly Pact as witness. This mystical oath, taken by the first generation ministers of Venus rulers to pledge their allegiance to the Sovereign, was a generational pact that punished any direct action taken to harm or restrict the Sovereign, and as direct descendants of the very same ministers, it was certain that all twenty-seven Sanctum Heads would face the consequences if Aphrodite decided to summon the power of the Pact. Ze looked more relaxed now and said, "There's no way she can break out of it, the restric

"I'm back!" Fang Yu inhaled the salty air of the underwater cave and started to analyze his gains from the trip.In terms of strength, there hadn't been a very great increase, but the versatility of his means and his upper combat threshold had been raised. If he was a Fourth Tier Pseudo-demigod before with First Tier as the peak equal to a True Demigod, then his combat power now was somewhere between the Fourth and the Third Tier."Above all, these new abilities complement my assassination skills!" With a thought, Fang Yu's body distorted on the spot and vanished from view. The invisibility cloak even shielded from radar sensory techniques and the likes.Now invisible, Fang Yu wielded his dagger skills in the small space and made several mock cuts and slashes. There was no question about how lethal they would be if he was presently in an entrapment and employed this invisible trick to break out and carry out some kills in the process.After a whil

The dagger assaulting the turtleshell barrier suddenly stopped a couple of seconds after Su Ya spoke. At the same time, Fang Yu rematerialized right in front of her with an interested expression on his face.It wasn't the former but the latter part of Su Ya's offer that actually caught his interest. Cultivation was undeniably fraught with trials and tribulations, and the concept of gaining some sort of foreknowledge was tempting to say the least."I got a mysterious inheritance on the island that increased my seer cultivation tremendously. I'll give you a divination for free!" Su Ya gritted her teeth as she made an offer, looking as though she was being cheated big time.Fang Yu was somewhat speechless that the girl had the mind to bargain? Didn't she see the situation she was in? He wordlessly shook the dagger in his hand.Su Ya took note of his action and said, "To glean a potent prophecy, I'll have to stake my blood essence and risk getting wip

"What are you talking about? It's very expensive!" Su Ya heard Fang Yu's murmur and couldn't help but chide loudly. She wasn't joking. This Phantom Essence Restoration Pill which was capable of restoring one's qi capacity to its precious state was not an ordinary alchemical product. Afterall, the cultivation a seer lost during a divination process was bound not to be easy to recover by normal means, different from cultivation expended during practice or a battle. It had cost Su Ya a third of the fortune she inherited from her master to purchase a couple of these pills from a renowed alchemist. Any other seer in her shoes would feel the same pinch. "Is it very expensive?" Fang Yu asked carelessly. In his opinion, her cultivation requirements couldn't be compared to his. He was someone who expended Deva cores frequently after all. Su Ya glared at him and changed the topic. Any more of his insensitive statements for him and s

"This is basically Qinlingjun City in a mega scale!" Fang Yu looked around in slight awe.There was a unique fusion of martial discipline and commercial grandeur as evident in the sight around him. Soldiers with powerful auras patrolled the streets every other minute while colourfully-dressed merchants and cultivators went about their business in sharp haste. Fang Yu thought to himself that Great Chu must be a bustling empire if an ordinary outpost was this grand."Would you rather we attempt the checkpoint right now or take some time to freshen up and relax? We could always rent an inn and resume our journey tomorrow," Su Ya suggested.Fang Yu found it strange and asked, "Did you divine something?" They hadn't stopped to lodge all this while because Su Ya divined they were on a safe travel streak and didn't want to jeopardize it."I'm exhausted and need a bath," Su Ya confessed honestly. "I don't care about ruining the streak anymore, I'll divine
