Chapter 1052: Ancient Emperor Dao Palace
He actually wanted Wu Yu to take him to Prince Le . . . .
What was he planning?
He had used his sword qi to form an area in order to trap Wu Yu .
Trapping Wu Yu meant that this was an order .
However, Wu Yu"s mind was on another matter .
The Yan Huang Golden Bead .
He had to find an answer .
Prince Yu had either already obtained the Yan Huang Golden Bead or was oblivious to its presence .
Some time had pa.s.sed . If he had obtained the Yan Huang Golden Bead, then the Ancient Soul Tower experience might already be over .
With an owner, there would have been a clear outcome for the Ancient Soul Tower . That would mean that they should be chased out of Ancient Soul Tower .
But there was no change yet .
This meant that the last possibility was true . Although he had killed the rock tortoise, he did not know that the Yan Huang Golden Bead had been embedded in the rock tortoise"s belly up till a moment ago .
The Yan Huang Golden Bead had left without anyone"s knowledge during the fight .
Wu Yu relaxed a little with the bead not being obtained yet .
And now his problem was how to escape safely .
The sword qi enclosure was definitely his threat to Wu Yu .
For now, he sensed no killing intent from Prince Yu, so Wu Yu asked, "Prince Le and I were, unfortunately, separated . I wonder, why does Prince Yu wish to meet Prince Le?"
Prince Yu looked at him emotionlessly . Betraying neither amus.e.m.e.nt nor anger, he arched an eyebrow slightly . "Don"t try tricks with me . I know you know where he is at . Your two friends are still there, aren"t they?"
He was referring to the Full Moon of Nanshan and Ye Xixi .
This showed that he understood Wu Yu well . The Full Moon of Nanshan was indeed Wu Yu"s friend, but Ye Xixi"s status was officially a ghostly cultivator under Prince Le . Others should not know about the relations.h.i.+p between Wu Yu and Ye Xixi .
"All the more I have to ask . Why does Prince Yu wish to meet Prince Le? This is the Ancient Soul Tower, and you know that as Kingmaker Le, I am naturally worried that Prince Yu has ill intentions for Prince Le . If Prince Yu does not make things clear, I will not comply . "
Wu Yu waited without fear .
He was confident that Prince Yu could not catch him .
But Prince Yu was unexpectedly candid . "While Little Le is young, he is also a rival . The Yan Huang Golden Bead stubbornly refuses to appear . I wish to join forces with him . Perhaps the chances of the Yan Huang Golden Bead showing itself will be higher . "
He wished to move with Prince Le .
He must have heard that the Yan Huang Golden Bead had appeared in the first level and that Wu Yu had almost s.n.a.t.c.hed it . He had probably also made the connection to Prince Le and suspected that the Ancient Emperor had devoted extra attention to Prince Le . Therefore, as long as he remained close to Prince Le, his chances of encountering the Yan Huang Golden Bead should be higher as well .
Indeed, a shrewd approach .
Wu Yu forced a dry chuckle . "Does Prince Yu think that Prince Le has good luck? And that the Yan Huang Golden Bead will appear near him?"
Prince Yu nodded . "The rumors would not be baseless . I went up to the fourth floor of the tower but found nothing . I know where I should be, all too clearly . Lead the way . "
He had set his heart on moving with them .
Perhaps it would indeed be safer with him around . But if there were any treasures, especially the Yan Huang Golden Bead, there would be no question . Given the strength of such an elderly cultivator, he could even be Wu Yu"s grandfather . s.n.a.t.c.hing things from him would only be a daydream .
The Yan Huang Golden Bead was a dream in itself . Following him would kill any hopes of even a miracle .
But through these two encounters, Wu Yu actually agreed that staying by Prince Le"s side seemed like the easiest way to encounter the Yan Huang Golden Bead .
This was good news for them . Therefore, he had to quickly reject Prince Yu, or they would lose their only advantage . A rare chance given by the Ancient Emperor to Prince Le .
Therefore, Wu Yu shook his head . "No . Please forgive my refusal . The Ancient Soul Tower has driven Your Highnesses mad over the Yan Huang Golden Bead . I know that there is intense compet.i.tion between your highnesses . If I bring you to Prince Le, it would not be favorable for him, and that would be wrong . Prince Le treats me well, and I will not harm him . "
He used this reason to reject him .
Prince Yu narrowed his eyes with a new hint of anger .
"Given your current strength, if I choose to force you, you have no power to resist, Wu Yu . " Prince Yu"s voice cut into him, sharp as swords .
Wu Yu smiled . "Does Prince Yu mean to punish or kill me? But if I do not agree, can you force me to go to Prince Le? Prince Yu can search for him yourself . If I"m here, Prince Le must be nearby . Isn"t that right?"
His casual responses were a measure of his courage .
After all, this was the Ancient Soul Tower, and the Ancient Emperor might be watching every moment . Wu Yu wagered that he would not do anything foolish unless under the most extreme circ.u.mstances .
Actually, Wu Yu had already prepared to escape with the Somersault Cloud . This sword qi enclosure could not hold him at all . His only fear was a sudden attack that would be difficult to dodge .
Ordinarily, Prince Yu"s ire should have been raised, and he might even attack Wu Yu, forcing him to submit . But instead, Prince Yu"s expression loosened up . He seemed to recall something new . "Wu Yu, how about a deal? You don"t need to pretend . I know that you and Prince Le are only getting along fine . You"re not that close . You refused because you won"t get any benefits, right?"
A deal?
Wu Yu did not know what medicine he was selling from his gourd .
Prince Yu was ordinarily a low-profile person, spending little time with others . Wu Yu did not have his measure .
"My wish is for you to take me to Prince Le and then leave . I will bring him to search the Ancient Soul Tower . And you will obtain something beyond your wildest dreams . " Prince Yu went straight to the point, not beating around the bush .
Wu Yu laughed inwardly . This Prince Yu had the right idea . If Wu Yu was around, he would only be an obstacle . Therefore, he not only wanted to control Prince Le, but also to chase Wu Yu away .
However, he was curious . Why was Prince Yu so confident?
Before Wu Yu said anything, Prince Yu continued, "I know that you have the fighting ability of a Dao Querying cultivator, all through your physical prowess and some superb mystiques . But your real body remains stagnant at the Primordial Spirit Transformation Realm . Your Violet Kingdom Primordial Energy pales in comparison to others . And I have a way to change that for you . You will see a huge increase in your cultivation level . You will at least rise to the pinnacle of the Primordial Spirit Transformation Realm without question . "
Wu Yu had not been interested, but this caught his attention . Of course, he definitely mistrusted Prince Yu"s words . Besides, he could not throw Prince Le to this wolf just for that . It would be dishonorable . After all, Prince Le had indeed helped him out before .
As for Wu Yu"s Violet Kingdom Primordial Energy, he could not deny it, which was tantamount to admitting it . This was indeed Wu Yu"s weakness . If not for his physical strength and mystiques, he would definitely not be punching so far above his weight .
Therefore, Prince Yu continued in a benign tone . He asked Wu Yu, "Have you heard of the Ancient Emperor Dao Palace?"
Wu Yu was in no hurry to escape . His interest had been piqued by Prince Yu"s talk of a speedy rise, and there was no harm in knowing more .
He shook his head .
Prince Yu was expecting this . He smiled . "In the Ancient Emperor Dao Palace, there are the Ancient Emperor"s Dao Musings . This is something that only we princes and princesses of a certain age know about . Little Le probably doesn"t . When we were young, we could not see our father emperor either . We heard our ancestors say that he trained in a place called the Ancient Emperor Dao Palace . He would occasionally speak about his cultivation experiences out loud and record them . That voice is in Ancient Emperor Dao Palace . Day after day, year after year, the voices never cease . Each speaks of the great dao"s truths, straight from the mouth of an immortal . Naturally, all will be heard clearly . Each utterance can send a person into enlightened stupor, their cultivation level rising greatly . Just listening to one will definitely end a slump and ensure a huge breakthrough in dao realm . It is especially useful for Primordial Spirit Transformation Realm cultivators because the voices are the Ancient Emperor"s insights on the Primordial Spirit Transformation Realm . The elders told us that the princes and princesses who perform best might be brought into the Ancient Emperor Dao Palace to cultivate with the Ancient Emperor . And if you do great deeds, you can also be privy to the musings . A pity that in so many years, no sibling has caught the Ancient Emperor"s eye . Despite my many accolades, I, too, am not qualified to enter the Ancient Emperor Dao Palace . Before I came to Ancient Soul Tower, I thought that the Ancient Emperor Dao Palace did not exist . But it actually appeared . The problem is that I have now pa.s.sed the Primordial Spirit Transformation Realm and therefore the dao inside is of no use to me . "
While he had been cryptic before, now he revealed all .
There was a place in the Ancient Soul Tower called the Ancient Emperor Dao Palace . It would bring great improvement to Wu Yu"s cultivation level .
"I know where the Ancient Emperor Dao Palace is . I will take you there, you will take me to Prince Le . Is that profit enough for you to leave Prince Le"s side? Truth be told, you and he are cut of different cloth . You are much more talented than he is, and you have no need to serve such trash . I saw it from the beginning . Without you, Prince Le is nothing . "
Prince Yu"s calculations were cut beautifully .
