Chapter 218: The First Appearance of the Ancient Treasure, the Clear Glass Jade Bottle

Translator: Transn Editor: Transn

A rout was like a landslide!

On the broad prairie, the defeated army was like ants. Tens of thousands of Northern Yuan’s Metal Horse Carriages were like headless flies flying about and running for their lives. There were 500,000 soldiers of the Jin army behind them. Among them, there were 200,000 cavalrymen. Their horses were fast as lightning, running like tidal waves.

Northern Yuan was defeated, completely defeated!

Under Ma Tianchang’s sudden assault, the 100,000 Metal Horse Carriages had suffered severe losses. The 500,000 Jin reinforcements that followed behind had completely crushed their will to resist. Originally, perhaps they still had a bit of fighting spirit. However, this fighting spirit was completely extinguished following the appearance of Living Buddha Ba Siba.

To stabilize the morale of the troops, one of the three Grandmasters, Kunlun Master, had long arrived at the frontlines. However, the Jin had long prepared. Tian Long Taoism sent for two Elders, and the Mingyi School also sent for one Elder to garrison Yunzhou. They were all Level Nine experts. They did nothing else but keep an eye on Kunlun Master.

Hence, under Ma Tianchang’s sudden assault and the attack of the Jin army, Kunlun Master did not have any effect. Then Living Buddha Ba Siba came here, stepping on a lotus platform. There was a golden body 60 feet tall on his head, with golden light shooting everywhere. All of these indicated that his cultivation had already stepped into the Mysterious Realm. At that time, he stunned everyone.

By just relying on his own strength, he had blocked the Jin army of 500,000 and stopped their pursuit.

He even ignited the morale of the Metal Horse Carriages. Some brave soldiers even turned their horses and started to counterattack the Jin army.

However, all of this was just like a flower blooming only for an instant. Ba Siba, who had stepped into the Mysterious Realm, did not even have a chance to show off his might and was subdued.

Yes, he was subdued.

Nobody would have thought that such a thing would happen. Living Buddha Ba Siba had just appeared, and before he had time to exert his power, there was a low shout coming from the formation: “Ba Siba!”

Ba Siba subconsciously responded. There was a bright white light shining from the formation that instantly enshrouded Ba Siba. The golden light on his body was also restricted. There was not any chance for him to react as this white light curled and brought him and his golden body into the formation. He disappeared and did not reappear again.

Only those at the heart of the Jin army could see that the white light was emitted from the Yunzhou Governor Ma Tianchang’s battle formation.

Within the heart of the Jin army, there was a small carriage. Beside the carriage, Ma Tianchang was riding an awe-inspiring war-horse with a smirk. In the carriage, a white-clothed lady was holding a White Jade Vase. A white light flashed in the opening of the vase and eventually faded away.

“The Mysterious Realm. Originally, I wanted to subdue a Level Nine expert. I didn’t expect this baldy to breakthrough to the Mysterious Realm. This is outside of my expectations. Tianchang, could it be the mischief of that old monster from the Thunder Dragon Palace?”

“Is there a need to ask that? The old monster was blocked by the Mysterious Turtle Sage and can’t come out. He thus could only act on this guy. From what I know, 100 years ago, that old monster obtained the Heavenly Dragon Divine Elixir from Tian Long Taoism. If I didn’t guess wrong, he should’ve given that elixir to Ba Siba. That was why he broke through to the Mysterious Realm in such a short time!”

“The Heavenly Dragon Divine Elixir?” The white-clothed lady’s gaze grew dense. “Eating that thing will make a person’s cultivation rise sharply. It could even strengthen the body within a short period of time. However, once the medicinal effects wear off, the body will collapse due to the sharply rising cultivation!”

“Yes, not to mention reaching the Mysterious Realm cultivation. This monk clearly doesn’t intend to live. He only wanted to stake his life to protect Northern Yuan!” Ma Tianchang said softly with a sigh, “What a pity!”

“A pity? You’re shedding crocodile tears here. However, this time around, without me, those Level Nine Elders that you brought are not enough to deal with them!”

“Yes, you have done something meritorious indeed. When we go back, I’ll definitely thank you for it!” Ma Tianchang smiled, but there were some flirtatious meanings in his words.

The lady’s face that was covered by a white veil slightly reddened. She lightly spat at him, “Once the matter here is over, you should settle our daughter’s matter!”

“Linglong is also my daughter. If she can’t get married, I’m even more anxious than you!” Ma Tianchang said with a laugh, “But this time, since your White Jade Vase showed up, there might be some trouble!”

“That’s your business. If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t bring it out!” The white-clothed lady laughed lightly.

“Yes, it’s my business!” Ma Tianchang smiled bitterly. Both of his legs tightened to hurry the horse as he wielded his saber and shouted ferociously.

“Brothers, go!”

A roar shocked the wild!

The Jin soldiers had high morale, while those of Northern Yuan were the opposite. A saviour that dropped down from the sky had been subdued by the enemy. This was fatal to their confidence, and the thoughts of resisting had disappeared. Now their minds only had a word: escape. To escape to a place where nobody could chase them.

In a moment’s time, on the broad prairie outside of Yunzhou, there were close to 600,000 people. They were chasing after each other. It was a mass of black as people were everywhere.

The snow storm had already stopped.

The accumulated snow on the prairie was over 3 meters. This had a huge impact on both the escape and the pursuit.

However, neither side cared about the impact. One side was anxious to escape, which the other was eager to succeed. Thus, they would not stop because of the accumulated snow.

However, Junior Leopard was badly affected by the snow.

He was carrying Wang She on his back, followed by five kids. They staggered from the depths of the prairie. Along the way, they met a few remnant soldiers. Junior Leopard stole some horses from them. The kids that grew up in the prairies had been able to ride horses since they could walk. Hence, riding was not a problem for these young kids. However, in the end, Junior Leopard realized that riding would cause trouble, especially when they were near Yunzhou. The Jin army of 500,000 soldiers did all kinds of atrocious deeds in the prairie, like killing, burning, and robbing. This group of people was not old in age, especially those kids. They were all wearing prairie clothing that was extremely eye-catching. Furthermore, they were on horses. They would easily be spotted by the soldiers. Hence, when they were 25 kilometers from the border of Yunzhou, they gave up their horses and walked barefoot toward Yunzhou.

Originally, he brought seven boys from the Whitemoon Tribe. One of them was a baby, Tana’s little brother, who was in Tana’s embrace. Now there was one missing—Tana’s ex-fiance, the fierce-looking boy.

It was not that Junior Leopard killed him. He disappeared on his own.

Under the Dark Lord Mie Chen’s Star-shattering Hand, Devil Valley had collapsed by half. It was a great blessing for these kids to save their lives in the midst of chaos. Junior Leopard also spent a great deal of time before finding the five kids. As for that fierce looking kid, Junior Leopard did not mind leaving him in the valley. Who cared whether he was dead or alive!

Furthermore, Junior Leopard was carrying an unlucky Wang She by his side.

First he carried him with his horse, and then he carried him by himself. Junior Leopard led this group of people from Devil Valley to the outskirts of Yunzhou City. Along the way, Wang She only woke up a few times. He had a high fever that would not recede for a few days. If it was not for Junior Leopard’s spirit having recovered a bit, and helping him to force the blood vessels to warm up, Wang She would have exploded under the Internal Qi that was rushing about like molten lava.

After expending so much effort, Junior Leopard had finally stabilized his condition and calmed down the Internal Qi churning within his body. He then avoided having to carry a corpse back to Yunzhou.

Due to the war, the entire Yunzhou had been engulfed in a tense atmosphere. However, to Junior Leopard this was nothing. They reached a small marketplace in the intersection between Yunzhou and Northern Yuan. He revealed his identity and found a Captain guarding the place.

Both Wang She and Junior Leopard were now renowned figures in the world.

That Captain was only a normal officer at the cultivation of Level Two. When he saw Junior Leopard’s stance, he was scared stiff. He hurriedly arranged a place for them to stay and settled everything.

Until this time, Junior Leopard was still somewhat unsettled. He then found the person in charge of the Wu Family’s ironware shop and asked him to send an urgent letter straight to Qinlingjun City. Two days later, the Wu’s Family Head Wu Yansheng and First Elder Lyu Yiyue hurried on their horses and reached the small marketplace from Qinlingjun City. Junior Leopard then heaved a sigh of relief and properly rested for a night.

He did not remain in this marketplace. On the second day, he brought those kids to return to Qinlingjun City together with Wu Yansheng and Lyu Yiyue.

Along the way, Junior Leopard could obviously feel that these two people who had the highest position in the Wu’s had a marked change in their attitude toward him. They were extremely courteous and warm!

This caused Junior Leopard to be somewhat uncomfortable.

However, this was something within expectations.

His cultivation now had already reached Level Five. His combat capability was enough to fight on par with a Level Eight expert, or he could even win. With this strength, no matter which family or sect, they would value him highly. Furthermore, even though the power of the Wu Family was not little, it was just a mid-sized well-known family. Previously, Lyu Yiyue had the strongest combat capability in the family, but his cultivation was Level Seven and he had not cultivated his Gang Qi yet.

Now that Junior Leopard had suddenly appeared, he would naturally become Wu Yansheng’s target of affection.

A disciple like Junior Leopard, who had a clean background and originated from the Wu’s, was a scarce resource that every sect would wish to have but was unable to obtain!

Although now that Junior Leopard had some estates outside of the Wu Family, in their eyes it was just some minor stuff. The most important thing was that Junior Leopard was in control of a huge benefit in the Wu Family. It was this huge benefit that caused both parties to be tightly melded together.

When the Wu’s were doing well, Junior Leopard would be able to obtain more benefits. The stronger Junior Leopard became, the stronger the Wu Family was. This was a win-win situation. In addition, now Junior Leopard had brought Wang She back from the prairie.

This caused the two leaders in the Wu’s to look at him in a different light.

Who was Wang She?

He was one of the three Chiefs of Tian Long Taoism, a rare Level Nine expert, who managed to preserve his life while being chased by the three Grandmasters of Northern Yuan. His value far outweighed the Wu Family. Even though he had suffered heavy injuries now, everybody knew that for a peerless expert like him, every time he survived a battle with someone at the same level, it would be extremely beneficial to their cultivation.

Now that Wang She had survived the chasing and killing of the three Grandmasters of Northern Yuan, his achievements would go another step in the future. What was the next step after Level Nine?

There was not a need to even think about it.

Now Junior Leopard became his benefactor. No matter if it was Wang She or Tian Long Taoism, they would not mistreat Junior Leopard. He would gain huge amounts of benefits from this matter. As for the Wu Family, as long as they settled this matter properly, they would be able to gain a portion of the benefits. If you eat meat, then I’ll eat soup. Tian Long Taoism’s soup had always been extremely delicious!

Furthermore, now that things were changing in this world, the Northern Yuan army had already collapsed. Next, the Jin would absorb the whole prairie under its jurisdiction. The fight for benefits would enter a white-hot state. If the Wu Family wanted to obtain more benefits from this, they had to borrow Tian Long Taoism’s strength. And right now, that was the best opportunity.

Hence, both Wu Yansheng and Lyu Yiyue showed great enthusiasm for Junior Leopard.

“Elder Zhou, it has been hard on you!”

“Family Head, just call me Junior Leopard, I can’t bear being called Elder. I was terrified!” Junior Leopard lifted the cup in his hands and poured it into his mouth. Instantly, there was a hot flow rushing from his Dantian upwards that was extremely comfortable.

“Haha, haha, Elder Zhou is joking. You are now an Elder of our family. You also racked up such an achievement!” Lyu Yiyue smiled.

“First Elder, you are joking with me. I merely got this Elder position by chance. When others address me, I’ll just be happy in my heart. However, when the two of you call me that, I really can’t bear it!” Junior Leopard said somewhat earnestly.

“Alright, we won’t call you that. We’ll call you Junior Leopard!” Wu Yansheng smiled and nodded. In actual fact, when he was addressing “Elder Zhou” he might have appeared extremely warm. However, deep in his heart, he was twitching. After all, Junior Leopard was just a kid that was 15-16 years old. Although his cultivation was extremely high, he was a character that emerged from the Wu’s Inner Core disciples. A few years ago when he saw him, he had to bow his head and pay his respects. In the blink of an eye, he was on the same level as him. He even had to be careful around him. This made him uncomfortable in his heart. Now that Junior Leopard was so understanding, he naturally could not yearn more for it. He thus had taken a better liking to Junior Leopard.

Yesterday, when they arrived here, Junior Leopard looked extremely tired, and only asked them to take care of Wang She and those kids before he went to rest. Therefore, they did not dare to interrupt him. Now they were in the carriage and were on their way to Qinlingjun City. After keeping it to themselves for one night, when on their way today, they then opened their mouths to ask Junior Leopard what happened to him and Wang She.

It must be known that they were extremely curious why Junior Leopard would carry Wang She back from the prairie. Could it be that the two of them had arranged it between themselves? Could there be some unspeakable relationship between the both of them?

However, Junior Leopard’s response made them somewhat disappointed.

“I’m the same as any other person in the martial arts world that entered the prairies. I went to kill those prairie experts. I didn’t expect to meet Chief Wang in Devil Valley being chased by Dark Lord Mie Chen. He had heavy injuries. I then combined strength with him and chased Mie Chen away. However, Chief Wang suffered serious injuries when executing the last blow, and then he became unconscious. I really had no solution, and could only carry him back!”

Everything that happened was summarized in one sentence. This caused the two of them to be dumbfounded. At the same time, they were petrified.

What did he say?

To ally with Wang She to chase away Mie Chen?

What was an alliance?

A Level Five expert allying with a Level Nine expert?

Do you have those qualifications?

If these words were said by another Level Five expert, that would be a joke. However, when Junior Leopard said it, they had to believe it. That was because Junior Leopard was not just a Level Five expert, for he had once killed a Level Seven expert and a Level Eight expert. His combat capability was without a doubt!

That was not saying that he had fought a Level Nine expert, however, to ally with a Level Nine expert to resist another Level Nine expert was possible.

At the very least, these two, whose cultivations were at Level Six or Seven, would not understand the gulf of difference between Wang She, who just entered Level Nine, and Dark Lord Mie Chen, who had stepped into Level Nine one hundred years ago, and that he was only half a foot away from the Mysterious Realm.

“Did you bring those kids from the prairie?”

Hearing that Junior Leopard had summarized everything in one sentence, it was not nice for them to ask further, even though they knew that there were many secrets. Thus, Lyu Yiyue changed the topic to the six kids that Junior Leopard brought along with him.

“They were wandering kids that I found in the prairie. I found them pitiful, so I brought them along!” Junior Leopard said it casually. He did not want people to know what had happened with the Whitemoon Tribe.

Wu Yansheng and Lyu Yiyue exchanged glances. Although they had long guessed that such a scenario would happen, what Junior Leopard said made them somewhat surprised.

Alas, after all, he is too young. Although his cultivation is amazing, he is still somewhat softhearted!

They read this in each other’s eyes.

However, the two, who were as sly as foxes, certainly would not say anything about trivial matters like this. They were just kids who were unable to stir up any storm. Neither did they have any spare effort to bother about these small matters.

“Oh right. Family Head, First Elder, when I came back, I saw that the prairie was desolate and there were so many of the defeated Northern Yuan army. Could it be that we won!”

“Yes, of course!” Upon mentioning this matter, Wu Yansheng could not help being excited. “Not only did we win, we also won astoundingly!”

Seeing Wu Yansheng’s excited manner, Junior Leopard only smiled. He was preparing to say something when his expression changed. Almost at the same time, Lyu Yiyue and Wu Yansheng looked outside of the carriage.

“Family Head and two Elders, Chief Wang has already woken up. He wants to see the three of you!”

“We know!” Wu Yansheng said.

“That’s strange. I carried him for so many days and he didn’t wake up. Once he got in the carriage he woke up!” Junior Leopard curled his lips, revealing a trace of a sneer. “Could it be that he was pretending to faint the past few days?”

“Junior Leopard, be careful with your words!” Wu Yansheng hurriedly said. Although he was the Family Head of the Wu’s, no matter from status or strength, he was a long way from Wang She. When he heard Junior Leopard making fun of Wang She, he was obviously stunned. Lyu Yiyue, on the other hand, revealed a joking expression.

From the words that Junior Leopard said when he was talking about Wang She, he could obviously feel the close relationship between Junior Leopard and Wang She. This kind of close relation was definitely not like what the world knew—that Junior Leopard once helped Wang She guard a place and allowed Wang She to advance to Level Nine. It was not as simple as Wang She owing Junior Leopard a favor.

Very obviously, the two of them had a deeper connection. However, as for what really happened, that could not be asked by him now.

Wu Yansheng was first stunned before he finally reacted in time. His face was full of surprise as he looked at Junior Leopard.

Wang She looked good and there was even some redness in his face. However, there was an unhealthy bright red within it.

“Chief Wang!” seeing Wang She sitting on the bed, Wu Yansheng and Lyu Yiyue hurriedly said respectfully.

Wang She only slightly nodded before shifting his gaze on Junior Leopard. “What did you do to Mie Chen?!”

Junior Leopard was stunned for a while before he smiled bitterly. “What else could I do? I gouged out one of his eyes!”

“Thump!”

Wu Yansheng behind him softened his knees, he actually sat on the bench uncontrollably. Seeing that the three of their gazes landed on him, he flushed and stood up again. Even though he stood up, his heart was already churning like waves. As was Lyu Yiyue’s beside him.

What did they mean?

What was called “gouging out one of his eyes”?

Aren’t you alive? You are still alive and kicking here. Whose eye did you gouge out?

Dark Lord Mie Chen!

He was one of the three Grandmasters of Northern Yuan. Even in the eyes of a mid-sized well-known family, he was an unreachable figure. However, now Junior Leopard, who was alive and kicking here, said that he fought with him and gouged out an eye. He was really unable to bear it. Lyu Yiyue was the same. However, since he was older and his cultivation was deeper, he was able to hold his ground, unlike Wu Yansheng.

“Hehe, no wonder my last hit was so easy. But it’s a pity. If I hadn’t been hurt, I might have left him!”

Junior Leopard smirked and did not continue his words.

Wang She then asked, “I heard in the prairie that the Jin and Northern Yuan had clashed. What’s the result?”

This time around, he was not asking Junior Leopard, but the other two people.

This was also something that Wu Yansheng wanted to tell Junior Leopard in the carriage.

“We won. We whupped them!”

“Someone called his name, and there was a white light, subduing him and his golden body!”

Hearing the whole process, Wang She mumbled. The matter that happened between the two armies had long spread across the whole world. Such a thing had never happened before.

Never ever!

Thinking about it, an expert who stepped into the Mysterious Realm was subdued just like that. He disappeared and never resurfaced. No one knew if he lived or died. This was a matter that struck a chord in people’s hearts. At the very least it was something that affected practitioners very much.

After spending so much effort to step into such a realm, he was subdued after someone called his name. This was too hurtful toward a practitioner’s pride. How could such a thing happen in this world?

“Does the world really have such a magic weapon?!”

“It’s the Clear Glass Jade Bottle!” Wang She seemed to have recalled something. His eyes revealed a trace of mockery. “From what I know, this world has two magic weapons with such a might. One is the Clear Glass Jade Bottle. The other is the Purple Golden Gourd. Since it was a bright white light that was released, then naturally it’s the Clear Glass Jade Bottle. Hehe, the might of these two magic weapons is unparalleled. As long as one calls you and you respond, then unless your cultivation had reached the Human Immortal stage, you will be subdued even if you have omnipotent abilities. Under the inhibition, within a short while, one will definitely become a pile of bloody water!”

Wu Yansheng and Lyu Yiyue were also hearing this kind of matter for the first time. Their faces revealed a shocked expression.

“That magic weapon is really so powerful?”

“It can only get more powerful!” Wang She softly sighed, his eyes revealing a glint of cold light.

Junior Leopard’s heart, on the other hand, was rapidly beating. Why did this thing sound so much like the plot in A Journey to the West ? As long as you responded to the call you would be subdued and become water in a moment? How could there be such a strange thing on this earth?

Ever since he came to this world, Junior Leopard had been conscientiously studying and observing. It had been 16 years. The conclusion he got was that this world contained powers that did not exist in his previous world. However, it followed a fixed rule. Power was built layer by layer. Especially the cultivation system of balancing the inner and outside cycle that had already exterminated a person’s dream of reaching the sky in one step. However, now suddenly there was a computer bug like the Clear Glass Jade Bottle appearing.

Also, what was the Human Immortal Realm?

Could it be above the Mysterious Realm? When one reached the Human Immortal Realm, one could resist the Clear Glass Jade Bottle?

In a moment’s time, Junior Leopard’s mind was filled with questions.

“Since the Clear Glass Jade Bottle has appeared, then the Purple Golden Gourd should also appear soon. Hehe, magic weapons. The magic weapons now, when compared to the ancient ones, could only be considered as celestial devices!” Wang She’s face revealed an uncanny expression. He said to Junior Leopard, “Boy, what I said last time was right. This world is growing chaotic. As long as you aren’t careful, you’ll be killed any moment!”

“My luck shouldn’t be that bad!” Junior Leopard smiled. “However, I’m interested in the magic weapons and Human Immortal Realm. Could Chief elaborate for me?”

“You wish to know? No problem. When you have cultivated to Level Seven and condensed the Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Gang, I’ll naturally tell you!” Wang She said, “Oh right, is your body okay?”

“So-so. I need about 2-3 months to fully recover!”

“That’s good. I’m in bad shape. When I go back, I’ll have to do closed-door training for 3 years before I can recover my pneuma!” Wang She’s face twitched. “Damnit, I didn’t get killed by Mie Chen, but I was nearly poisoned to death by my own pills. Aye!”

Junior Leopard was speechless. He vaguely knew that this was possibly connected to those pills that he fed Wang She. However, he had better not tell him now.

“Oh right, I have a matter that needs your help!” Wang She raised his head and looked at Wu Yansheng and Lyu Yiyue. His mouth flashed, revealing snow-white teeth. “Wu Family Head, Elder Lyu, I have something to discuss with this boy privately, so…!”

Wu Yansheng and Lyu Yiyue hurriedly stood up and bade farewell, leaving only Junior Leopard and Wang She staring at each other.
