Currently, on the hunting ship, Ye Youji and Que Congling were in a room.
At this moment, Ye Youji was holding a treasured pearl in his hand. The scene of Su Yan’er and Ouyang Yue diving into the deep sea was displayed on it.
“They have already gone down.”
“Speaking of which, Ling’er, how did you know that they came to Pompeii City with a motive?”
Ye Youji looked at Que Congling, who was currently seated cross-legged on the bed, and asked.
“There are only a hundred people in the entire Central Plains who are able to step into the Dou Sheng class. Their group has definitely come to Pompeii City to search for something.”
However, Congling opened her eyes. Those eyes were filled with a mysterious expression.
She smiled slightly. The corner of her mouth curled into a cute arc as she said, “Every person from our sect who goes out to train has a final goal. However, no one is able to find it.”
“Find what?”
Ye Youji was involuntarily startled.
“To be precise, it is not an item. Instead, it is an extremely mysterious aura. As long as one possesses it, one will possess the ability to advance to the Dou Di class.”
Ye Youji was surprised as he asked, “An aura to advance to the Dou Di class?”
“To use an analogy, it is just like a dou zhe. If a dou zhe wants to train, he must absorb the dou qi in this world.”
“Once he reaches the peak of the Dou Sheng class, he will only be a one star Dou Sheng. If he does not have this kind of aura, he will never be able to increase his cultivation level.”
“This kind of aura is called the emperor’s aura.”
“As long as one absorbs enough emperor’s aura, a Dou Sheng will be able to break through the shackles and have the opportunity to advance to the Dou Di class.”
Ye Youji said, “In other words, the reason why they came to the Sea of Blood Demon is to search for the emperor’s aura?”
“Moreover, Ling’er, didn’t you say before that Su Yan ‘er’s strength is merely that of a nine-star Dou Sheng? Isn’t it too early for her to break through to the Dou Di class?”
“Moreover, it is likely that there are not many people in this world who know about the emperor’s aura. Do they really know about the existence of the emperor’s aura?”
However, Congling helplessly shook her head and explained, “A couple of months ago, the Dafeng Empire’s emperor, Su Zhen, who is currently the retired emperor of the Dafeng Empire, had already stepped into the Dou Di class.”
“The current empress of the Dafeng Empire is called Su Yan ‘er.”
Ye Youji’s expression changed.
“Could it be that this Su Yan ‘er is the great empress of the Dafeng Empire?”
“That’s right.”
Que Congling nodded. After which, she continued, “Now that Su Zhen was able to step into the Dou Di class, he definitely understands that if a Dou Sheng wants to advance to the Dou Di class, he must obtain the aura of an emperor.”
“With this, we could understand why the Dafeng Empire’s great empress has appeared here.”
“In that case, should we go down and join them?”
Ye Youji spoke with some excitement, “If you have the aura of an emperor, Ling’er, wouldn’t you also be able to advance to the Dou Di class!”
However, Congling helplessly shook her head. A bitter expression was revealed on her face, “I have only just advanced to the Dou Sheng class. I am still far from the so-called Dou Di class.”
“Moreover, the sect will only nurture disciples until the elite Dou Zun class. Once you advance to the Dou Sheng class, the sect will no longer nurture you.”
“If I do not have too many opportunities in this life, it is likely that my strength will forever remain within the nine-star Dou Sheng class.”
Currently, Congling possessed the strength of a Dou Sheng. Only then did she know that it was impossible to advance by merely absorbing dou qi from the world.
The dou qi that a Dou Sheng needed was really too frightening!
Moreover, just relying on absorbing dou qi from the world to train was really too slow. It was even a little wasteful of one’s life.
Currently, one would need to use a countless number of resources in order to raise one’s strength.
The amount of resources needed to raise a nine-star Dou Sheng to a one-star Dou Sheng far exceeded the amount needed to train nine nine-star Dou Shengs!
In this way, there was simply no reason for the sect to continue nurturing Que Congling.
After all, there was a limit to the number of natural treasures in this world. If the Cong sect wanted to maintain its prosperity, they absolutely could not take the risk of placing all the eggs in the same basket.
Thus, Congling is in an awkward position.
From now on, the Cong sect would not be bothered about her. However, it was nearly impossible for her to train on her own.
“But Ling’er, didn’t you say that you can only stay in the mortal world for ten years?”
“After ten years, you will have to return to the sect. After a hundred years, you can go down the mountain to train again.”
Ye Youji sighed. “So, once those ten years have passed, we will never see each other again.”
Ye Youji was just an ordinary person. No matter how long he lived, his life would only last for a hundred years.
Now, he would only be a passer-by in Congling’s life.
“Youji, this is our fate.”
But Congling’s eyes were filled with tenderness.
“Is ten years not enough? Ten years is neither long nor short.”
Ye Youji’s eyes turned red. He said unwillingly, “How can that be possible! I want you to stay by my side for the rest of my life!”
The atmosphere in the room was extremely heavy.
A long time had passed. However, Congling only sighed and said slowly.
“What you said is not impossible.”
Ye Youji’s eyes instantly lit up. He hurriedly asked, “Ling’er, what should I do?”
“As long as I can make sufficient contributions to the sect, the sect might be able to allow me to stay in the mortal world for a hundred years.”
However, Congling said.
“What do you mean?”
“To get the emperor’s aura?”
“That’s right. As long as I can give the sect the emperor’s aura, I reckon the sect would think that I’ve made a great contribution. Perhaps, they will be able to allow me to live outside the sect for a hundred years.”
Ye Youji could not help but speak excitedly, “In that case, we should quickly follow them down. Since they are after the emperor’s aura, we will be able to find the location of the emperor’s aura as long as we follow them.”
“However, you have also seen the content of the prediction bead, there is a problem.”
“That valley is tens of thousands of kilometers deep. From the looks of it, it was definitely not formed naturally. It is likely that someone had cleaved it apart with a knife.”
“Someone who was able to create such a frightening strength is definitely an expert at the Dou Di class. Even if such a being were to die, the place where he died would definitely be filled with danger.”
“If it was just me alone, I would still be able to barely protect myself if I were to go down. However, this ship is definitely not safe. I wouldn’t allow for you to stay on the ship alone.”
Que Congling slowly voiced her concerns.
What she was worried about was not whether the fighters on the ship would attack Ye Youji, but the magical creatures in the sea.
Que Congling could not guarantee that while they kept hunting for the Rainbow fish, they would not be noticed by the more powerful magical creature.
If she left this place and the ship encountered a major crisis, then Congling would definitely not be able to come to his aid immediately.
If Ye Youji were to die, then even if she were to obtain the aura of an emperor, what use would that be?
What was the point of living in the mortal world for a hundred years?
“Then why don’t you bring me down with you?”
Ye Youji said, “Didn’t you see the scene in the prediction bead just now? Brother Ouyang is just an ordinary person like me. If he can follow Su Yan ‘er into the sea, then I shouldn’t have any problems.”
“If something really happens in the sea, then it’s just my fate.”
Hearing Ye Youji’s words, Congling gently bit her thin lips and nodded solemnly.
