Chapter 1497: Chapter 771: Dire Situation (2)

"I have learned almost everything I wanted to know."

"You..."

Miao Muqing looked at his back with some unease.

"Come to me again two days before the Purple Mist Cave Heaven opens."

Gu Sheng said without turning his head.

"Before then, unless there’s a major change, don’t disturb me."

Miao Muqing stood up and hesitated for a moment before nodding solemnly.

"Alright."

She turned and walked toward the door, yet stopped in her tracks.

"Gu Sheng... thank you."

Gu Sheng did not respond, merely standing there quietly.

Miao Muqing gently closed the door and left.

After the sound of footsteps faded, Gu Sheng returned to the table and took out three ancient-looking storage rings from his chest, laying them on the table.

The surface of the rings was engraved with intricate patterns, glinting with a dim luster in the candlelight.

"The Southern Emperor’s physical body..."

He murmured to himself, his fingers brushing over one of the rings.

"Things are more interesting than I imagined."

Meanwhile, Miao Muqing walked down the corridor, moonlight spilling over her shoulders.

She raised her hand to her chest and felt the presence of another soul within her.

"Sister, do you really trust him?" Miao Muxue’s voice echoed in her mind.

"We have no choice. Miao Muqing replied in her heart, and moreover... his gaze tells me his hidden strength far exceeds what appears on the surface."

"But..."

"Don’t worry," Miao Muqing soothed, no matter what, I will protect you.

This is my promise to mother.

She stopped in her tracks, gazing at the distant silhouette of Purple Mist Mountain.

The summit was shrouded in mist, as though purple energy was coming from the east.

"In two days..."

She whispered to herself.

"Everything will be revealed."

Returning to her courtyard, Miao Muqing took out a purple sandalwood box from the depths of a cabinet.

Upon opening it, there was a crystal-clear jade pendant, engraved with an ancient "South" character.

"Mother..."

She gently stroked the jade pendant, tears welling in her eyes.

"This time, your daughter will definitely fulfill your last wish."

The jade pendant suddenly emitted a faint glow, seemingly responding to her call.

Gu Sheng sat cross-legged in the quiet room, gently stroking the pages of the yellowed, thread-bound ancient book.

The edges of the pages were slightly curled, indicating they had endured the passage of time.

He slowly opened the book, a faint scent of ink mixed with some ancient spice aroma wafting up.

"Yue Shen Gong, oh Yue Shen Gong, I’ll remember this favor, Gu Sheng."

He murmured as his eyes scanned the elegant writing on the pages.

It was the array insights of Yue Shen Gong’s wife, each stroke filled with the unique delicacy and precision of a woman.

The candle flames in the quiet room flickered, casting a long shadow of Gu Sheng.

He closed his eyes, recalling the scene when Yue Shen Gong handed him this book.

The usually stern Artifact Refining Master had an unusually gentle look in his eyes.

"In times where life and death hang in the balance, you must hold your trump cards in your own hands."

Gu Sheng suddenly opened his eyes, a sharp light flashing in them.

He waved his hand, and dozens of storage rings flew out from his sleeve, suspended in mid-air, emitting various glows.

Most of these storage rings came from the enemies he had slain... ambushers in the Great Wilderness City, pursuers from the Southern Border... each one representing a life-and-death battle.

A cold smile tugged at the corner of Gu Sheng’s mouth as his spiritual power surged like a tide, sweeping over these storage rings one by one.

"Oh?"

He suddenly let out a soft cry, noticing a set of complete array plate materials in one dark-red storage ring.

The array plate was entirely dark golden, its edges engraved with intricate cloud patterns, with an array core in the center yet to be completed.

Gu Sheng took out the array plate and closely examined it in the palm of his hand.

"Mystic Gold as the base, Cloud Pattern guiding the spirit... indeed excellent materials for crafting a transmission array."
