I Have a Compass for Opportunity

Qiwen Peak, Cyan Pine Forest.

Here was the closest to the void where Daoist Huixie and the three Foundation Establishment cultivators battled that day, and the area impacted the most. Under the influence of the aftermath, the forest is now ravaged as if by a snowstorm.

The originally straight pine trees now appear in disarray. Some branches have been bent under the heavy snow, nearly touching the ground, and the needles are adorned with icicles that flicker coldly in the dim light, devoid of past vitality.

Broken branches lie scattered across the snow, their bark stripped away to reveal stark white interiors, forming a sharp contrast with the surrounding pristine snow.

Among the area claimed by the broken branches, a milky white halo flickers, eventually condensing into an illusory portal.

Liou Yuan, with lingering trepidation on his face, walked briskly out from the portal.

First, he looked around, taking in the familiar surroundings of Qiwen Mountain and the clear sky above, only then did his expression relax.

"Finally, I’m out."

He took several deep breaths of the cool outside air, as if to expel all the foul air he inhaled at the crossing.

"Scared me half to death, thought I wouldn’t make it back." The memories of the Cyan Feather Gui Character Crossing were vivid, and Liou Yuan cursed furiously, venting the indignation from being tricked by the female Star Evil.

"This grudge must be remembered, once I reach Foundation Establishment, I’ll kill those three bastards."

After cursing for a while, the corners of Liou Yuan’s mouth suddenly lifted, and his expression became pleased.

Though the process was thrilling, he was nearly trapped and killed by that female Star Evil with a Spiritual Sense Attack.

But the gains from this trip are indisputable, he touched the colorless Spiritual Pearl bracelet on his hand and the ring on his finger, smiling smugly: "Glad it’s not a fruitless journey."

This trip to the Cyan Feather Gui Character Crossing was indeed a bountiful harvest.

Besides acquiring a Foundation Establishment Magical Artifact, a Storage Ring, he also gained two broken Foundation Establishment Magical Artifact fragments, and that ’ship contract.’

The colorless Spiritual Pearl Foundation Establishment Magical Artifact could be used by Liou Yuan now, but it consumes Spiritual Power excessively, in a few breaths it would deplete his Spiritual Power, to be used only in life-saving moments.

The Storage Ring has a restriction, requiring some time to remove it.

The only tangible gains would be the two Foundation Establishment Magical Artifact fragments, extracting their residual spiritual materials could fetch considerable meritorious points.

As for the ship contract.

"The ship contract can wait; might be useful for avenging at the crossing later."

Saying this, Liou Yuan realized something, acknowledging that Qiwen Mountain is not absolutely safe either.

Though there isn’t that bizarre sealed ship, Daoist Huixie poses a significant threat to his life safety.

He immediately activated the Night Concealing Mask, hiding himself in the forest’s darkness, then ascended the higher mountain areas of Qiwen Mountain, observing the surrounding mountains and void.

He spent at least two days at the Cyan Feather Gui Character Crossing.

The battle between Yin Yufu and Jin Dynasty’s two Foundation Establishments against Daoist Huixie already concluded during this time.

As he looked around now, naturally, he could not see the fierce Foundation Establishment battle that had occurred earlier.

The battle of the three Foundation Establishment cultivators was up in the void, causing little damage to Yufengcheng and the surrounding mountains.

Except for the collapse of mountains where the Alien Calamity-level Star Evil appeared, other areas only bear the marks left by the snowstorm.

"Wonder if Senior Yin Yufu and the others managed to escape."

Liou Yuan murmured as he gazed around.

Deep down, he never believed that Yin Yufu and the two Foundation Establishments could defeat Daoist Huixie.

In the Fixed Star Compass’s description, the Alien Star Evil was ranked Grade A1, equating it to the Evil Corpse in danger level.

Daoist Huixie controlled that Alien Star Evil using a secret technique, even other Peak Foundation Establishments may not rival him.

Yin Yufu being able to escape would be fortunate.

"As for Daoist Huixie."

"Anyway, that guy exposed himself, surely he wouldn’t dare linger in Qingyou Prefecture for long, this is within the Jin Dynasty’s territory, no matter how audacious he is, he wouldn’t dare stay here challenging the entire Jin Dynasty."

Summing up, Liou Yuan considered Qiwen Mountain relatively safe for now.

Safe as it may be, now that Liou Yuan has exited the Cyan Feather Gui Character Crossing with profits, he’s started eyeing the Alien Star Evil’s slay rewards again.

"This time the slay reward is a Talent."

"The Regeneration Blood, isn’t it the Alien Star Evil’s Talent."

Liou Yuan recalled the scene from that day when Yin Yufu and the Sword Cultivator teamed up, attacking the Alien Star Evil with their combined Foundation Establishment efforts, leaving it with wounds that healed instantly, with great fervor in his heart.

"If I can obtain the Regeneration Blood, I need not worry about handling injuries anymore."

"Pairing with my Blood Absorption Skill, charging through battles, who can stop me."

Liou Yuan currently lacks the capability to deal with the Alien Star Evil.

Moreover, that Star Evil is likely already captured by Daoist Huixie.

From the conversation between him and Yin Yufu at the time, it’s clear that Daoist Huixie came to Qingyou Prefecture largely for the Alien Star Evil.

"To target that Alien Star Evil is akin to simultaneously confronting Daoist Huixie."

"Daoist Huixie isn’t weak by himself, either at Peak Foundation Establishment or late-stage Foundation Establishment."

"The difficulty of slaying him is significantly more than dealing with the Evil Corpse."

Liou Yuan’s head throbbed as he thought of this.

The Evil Corpse issue remains unresolved, yet another tougher Alien Star Evil emerges.

Considering his current strength, he could only temporarily shelve the intention of killing the Alien Star Evil.
