Family Rise by Daily Intelligence

Chapter 917: Chapter 338: Kunlun Microcosm Contention

”Qiu Niang, quickly close the temple door.”

Buzz!

The stone door closed with a rumble.

The Ancient Profound Vine returned to its original form.

”Phew”

Narrow escape.

Fu Changsheng let out a slight sigh of relief.

Ever since the ancient temple emerged from space, he had been trying to see if he could enter with just his mind. After testing, he found that he could enter the ancient temple at any time with his thoughts, but to leave he had to pass through the stone door of the Ancient Profound Vine:

”Luckily, I’ve tested it before.”

Otherwise.

Today, he might indeed have fallen into that old monster’s trap.

Fu Changsheng instructed Qiu Niang:

”Qiu Niang, keep an eye on the ancient temple. If there’s any change, report to me immediately.”

”Yes, Master.”

Fu Changsheng didn’t rush out; instead, he entered the small straw hut, planning to recover his mana before going out. After all, in that eerie cave mansion, he didn’t know if that white shadow had any other tricks up its sleeve.

...

The Fu Family.

Yaoyao earnestly reported to Liuu Meizhen about Fu Changsheng being trapped by the barrier at Broken Bone Cliff, worriedly saying:

”Mother, that barrier, Uncle Chang Lei and I studied it for days afterward. We found out it’s a barrier that not even a Tier Four Array Master can break. Now, I’m afraid we have to ask Grandpa Yu to come out of seclusion.”

”No!”

Liuu Meizhen immediately and firmly rejected the idea without a second thought.

Grandmaster Yu’s feigned death to evade the Celestial Secret was something Fu Changsheng had hinted at to Liuu Meizhen in order not to awaken Grandmaster Yu hastily.

Hearing this, Yaoyao blamed herself:

”Mother, if we don’t ask Grandpa Yu, Father might be trapped in the barrier forever.”

Just like how Brother Rong got trapped in the Secret Realm.

Yaoyao felt a bit guilty.

She thought her cultivation was too low, and she hadn’t foreseen the risks beforehand, which led to her father being in danger.

Liuu Meizhen, however, remained calm:

”Though that barrier blocks the transmission of the Jade Talisman, I have other means to contact your father. There’s no need for you to worry about him being trapped at Broken Bone Cliff. You should take this time to seclude yourself and thoroughly understand the insights left by the clan for breaking through to the Purple Mansion.”

”Mother, the clan doesn’t have the Soul-Attracting Pill. What’s the use of my secluding myself? It’s better to study that barrier at Broken Bone Cliff. I might find a way to break it and save Father.”

Yaoyao felt that rescuing her father was the most important task now.

After all.

Her father was alone in the barrier, and no one knew if he would encounter any danger. If they were too late, they would regret it forever.

Liuu Meizhen, seeing her insistence, was quite comforted:

”Yaoyao, I know you care about your father, and I appreciate your filial piety. But hasn’t your father always turned misfortune into fortune? Even if you don’t believe me, believe in your father’s abilities, won’t you? Now go, get into seclusion and be obedient.”

After Yaoyao left.

Liuu Meizhen sat in her room, gazing aimlessly in the direction of Broken Bone Cliff, lost in thought.

....

Fish Eagle Tribe.

Within the Fish Eagle Prince’s Mansion.

The Fish Eagle Prince sat at the head.

The Grand Elder and the Second Elder sat on the left and right sides respectively. At this moment, the mansion’s doors were tightly shut, and the array was active.

The Grand Elder tapped his storage bag, and with a flash of dawn light, a tattered terrain map hovered in mid-air. The Grand Elder cast a technique onto the map, making the terrain map’s outline slightly clearer:

”Crown Prince, the ’Divine Yin Profound Water’ the Chieftain needs is located within the outer part of the Divine Yin Mountain.”

The Fish Eagle Prince’s eyes lit up.

He glanced in the west direction and said coldly:

”This time, the Divine Yin Profound Water must not fall into the hands of that second son’s group.”

The Grand Elder’s eyes were also filled with a hint of resentment. Last time, the death of the Fifth and Eighth Elders was blamed on him by the second son’s group, with conclusive evidence, ironclad proof. If it weren’t for the fact that he had rendered meritorious service to the Fish Eagle Tribe over the years, he would have been punished on the spot.

Luckily.

The Fish Eagle Tribe had successively lost four Purple Mansion Elders.

The entire Fish Eagle Tribe could not afford any more losses, which is why his life was spared, although his quota to enter the Kunlun Mini World was revoked.

As a result.

The status of the Prince was also precarious.

The Grand Elder looked at the Second Elder opposite him:

”Second Brother, be cautious of those two from the second son when you enter the Kunlun Mini World this time. They have shown they will stop at nothing to fight for the prince’s position. Furthermore, make sure to secure the Divine Yin Profound Water for the Chieftain. With this item, the Chieftain will soon break through to the Golden Core.”

”Rest assured, Big Brother!”

...

The Second Son’s Mansion in the west.

The Second Son sat at the head, with the Fourth and Sixth Elders seated on either side, also discussing the matter of entering the Kunlun Mini World.

With furrowed brows, the Fourth Elder said:

”There’s still over a year before the Kunlun Mini World opens. However, we currently have no clue about the location of the Divine Yin Profound Water needed by the Chieftain. Instead, it seems the Crown Prince’s side recently heavily rewarded a terrain map, which is likely related to the Divine Yin Profound Water.”

The Sixth Elder was also worried.

However, the Second Son was unconcerned. He cast a technique onto the room’s array, adding an extra layer of protective light shield around them. Then, with a wave of his sleeve, he unfurled a scroll, which also depicted a terrain map of the Kunlun Mini World:

”The inner layers of the Kunlun Mini World belong to the territory of the Golden Core Masters, which we cannot enter. However, I did find a suitable place in the outer area.”

Saying this.

He cast a technique onto the scroll.

A Spirit Mountain appeared faintly.

The Second Son pointed at the Spirit Mountain and said:

”This terrain map is from my grandfather’s house, where the main herb for refining the Soul-Attracting Pill is planted. Uncle, when the time comes, you must go with me. With your alchemy skill, you can refine at least a dozen Soul-Attracting Pills. Then we can help our secret seedling break through to the Purple Mansion. By doing so, the number of elders in our faction can far surpass that of the Crown Prince’s faction.”
