Chapter 2006: Cangxuan Territory
However, soon everyone understood the reason; it was undoubtedly because Shang Hangsu also took an interest in this young man!
The power this young man displayed had reached a level that could not be ignored; otherwise, they wouldn’t have put aside their pride to express goodwill!
After a moment, people from various sects dispersed and went their own ways...
....
In fact, they only guessed half of it right. Indeed, Su Chen’s strength greatly shocked Shang Hangsu—no, it should be called astonishing!
However, a bigger reason was the previous prophecy from the Pavilion Master of Su Tian Pavilion!
If he had any doubt before, now he was absolutely convinced!
"Su Chen, if you ever need anything, feel free to come to me."
As they walked, Shang Hangsu looked at Su Chen and said:
"Anything, as long as I can accomplish it, is no problem."
Su Chen was slightly startled upon hearing this. He could tell that the other party was extremely sincere when speaking!
At least, much more sincere than those sects!
Could it be that, like those people, it was because my power was on display that they acted this way?!
However, he had a feeling that it wasn’t that simple.
At least, as the ruler of the Ancient Dynasty, the other party shouldn’t make such a promise lightly!
The sects might simply be being courteous, but Shang Hangsu is entirely different!
Anyway, regardless of the reason, Su Chen could only express his thanks at this moment.
Actually, for Shang Hangsu, this was akin to a gamble—in a way, tying the destiny of the Ancient Dynasty to the future of this young man!
Along the way, Shang Hangsu conversed warmly with Su Chen; of course, he also probed into his background. After all, anyone would be curious about someone so young and yet so powerful!
But of course, the current Su Chen doesn’t fully trust him and naturally holds back, so Shang Hangsu didn’t gain much.
Su Tian Pavilion isn’t within the palace but in front of it. One could say that Su Tian Pavilion and the mountain where Washing Dragon Pond is located form two barriers of the palace, seemingly encapsulating the true heritage and value of the Ancient Dynasty!
"Su Chen, here is Su Tian Pavilion; I won’t accompany you further inside."
Upon reaching the entrance of Su Tian Pavilion, a boy about ten years old, dressed like a young disciple, was already waiting there. Shang Hangsu spoke.
"Master Su, please follow me!"
The young disciple said to Su Chen.
After expressing his gratitude to Shang Hangsu, Su Chen followed the young disciple inside.
Before long, they reached the highest point of Su Tian Pavilion, where an elderly man sat on a mat as if meditating.
After leading Su Chen there, the young disciple went down again.
Seeing Su Chen arrive, the elder smiled and stood up:
"Master Su has come; I’ve been waiting for a long time."
"Pavilion Master, I have a question I wish to ask..."
"No rush, no rush."
The elder smiled at Su Chen:
"Does Master Su know why Washing Dragon Pond has been opened this time?"
Upon hearing this question, Su Chen was slightly stunned before shaking his head:
"I truly don’t know."
Su Chen had indeed heard that Washing Dragon Pond hadn’t been opened for an extremely long time, and the opening this time was unexpected for everyone.
"This opening of Washing Dragon Pond was specially for you."
The elder said something that Su Chen never expected.
Hearing this, he was instantly astonished!
Opened just for him?!
Why?
It shouldn’t be!
It’s worth noting that this is his first visit to the Ancient Capital, and even truly his first time coming to the Ancient Dynasty!
Why open Washing Dragon Pond for him?
"There’s no need to be surprised; it was my suggestion. As for the specifics, Master Su need not delve into them!"
The elder said with a mysterious smile.
This left Su Chen feeling a bit embarrassed.
He also roughly guessed why Shang Hangsu didn’t mention it earlier—mentioning it might seem like leveraging a favor but saying it through the Pavilion Master’s mouth felt more natural.
Even though the other party might have some ulterior motives, he indeed owed a monumental favor because the benefits he received from Washing Dragon Pond were immense!
"Master Su doesn’t need to overthink; perhaps Washing Dragon Pond was waiting for you all along."
The elder said with a faint smile, naturally aware of events like the collapse of the mountain and having calculated certain things unknown to others.
For example, about the Guardian of Washing Dragon Pond!
This further confirmed some things for him—that this young man was absolutely extraordinary!
Su Chen didn’t ponder too much, considering it merely as a joke.
"Pavilion Master, shall we return to the main topic?"
Currently, Su Chen’s focus was on the Spring of Life, with little inclination to dwell on other matters.
"It seems the answer to Master Su’s question is very important for you."
The elder smiled slightly and said:
"Feel free to ask your question."
"Pavilion Master, have you ever heard of the Spring of Life?"
Upon voicing this, Su Chen grew intensely nervous.
Even though he had the opportunity to ask questions this time, he wasn’t certain if the elder knew.
Just like Zi Mei, she knew many immensely secretive things—such as the Fire Spirit and Divine Bone, etc...
But she wasn’t omniscient; for example, regarding the Spring of Life, she merely heard about it vaguely with no real clues.
Zi Mei undoubtedly had far greater insight than the Pavilion Master of Su Tian Pavilion, so Su Chen was unsure if the elder knew.
However, he was unwilling to give up even a glimmer of hope!
Indeed, the elder furrowed his brow upon hearing Su Chen’s question; after a moment, he said:
"Sorry, Master Su, I’ve truly never heard of the Spring of Life."
As soon as he spoke, Su Chen’s heart seemed to sink to the ocean floor.
At this moment, the elder continued:
"Although I’ve never heard of the Spring of Life, if it truly exists on the Yunxiao Continent, it could only be in one place!"
"Where?"
Upon hearing this, hope rekindled in Su Chen’s eyes.
"Cangxuan Territory!"
The elder uttered three words.
"If I do not know it, yet it indeed exists on Yunxiao Continent, that’s the only possibility!"
The elder confidently stated.
"What is that place?"
Su Chen urgently asked.
Even though he had been on Yunxiao Continent for a while, he hadn’t explored extensively, thus his understanding of Yunxiao Continent was not profound.
"The Yunxiao Continent is broadly divided into four regions: east, south, west, and north, and Cangxuan Territory lies in the middle of these four regions."
The elder explained to Su Chen:
"Cangxuan Territory is arguably the most mysterious and powerful place on Yunxiao Continent, with numerous sects and the existence of Forbidden Lands!"
"Many people on Yunxiao Continent know about Cangxuan Territory, yet very few from outside have entered it."
"Why is that?"
Su Chen asked curiously.
