Chapter 132: Chapter 127: Sleeve Universe (Request for Monthly Ticket)

Dusk, the clouds ablaze like fire.

The entire White Emperor City, bathed in the evening glow, harmonious and bustling.

On the streets, the constant flow of carriages and horses, the sounds of string and bamboo instruments emitted from the city’s taverns, seemed to signify everything returning to normal.

At the Sky Patrol Department’s station, a group of Ninth Mountain Soldiers guarded the front of a courtyard.

At this moment, these soldiers, facing forwards, slightly turned their heads, then turned back again, their eyes revealing a puzzled expression.

They saw a man with a curly beard, holding a jug of wine in one hand and several oil-paper wrapped packages in the other, walking towards them, then turning around, and walking towards them again, muttering something.

"I said, when Brother Chen visits White Emperor City, I, Qin Hu, would invite him for a drink."

"Ah, forget it, forget it, it seems a bit inappropriate right now."

"But today’s troop movements seem to indicate he’s leaving."

Qin Hu, usually a straightforward man, now seemed as indecisive as a young maiden.

People can’t always be so open-minded and easygoing; with changes in strength and status, some things also change.

Like now, Qin Hu was apprehensive, that objectively imperceptible distinction in status that couldn’t be ignored.

In Qingshan County, it was still fine, but in White Emperor City, where everyone knew of Ninth Mountain’s Colonel, even his immediate superior had to be treated with courtesy, and soldiers standing guard at the courtyard gate represented an unspoken barrier.

Before he thought too deeply, a "pop" sounded as the courtyard door opened.

Directly opposite the hall at the entrance of the courtyard, stood someone in green clothes.

Seeing Qin Hu’s demeanor, Chen Yuan’s lips curled up in teasing:

"Haven’t seen you for a few days, Brother Qin is acting all shy like a young bride. I’ve been staying here for two days and you haven’t invited me for a drink."

Hearing the noise, Qin Hu turned his head, startled for a moment, then laughed heartily.

"Brother Chen, here I am!"

Saying this, his face full of energy, he strode into the courtyard.

Chen Yuan invited Qin Hu to sit in the pavilion in the courtyard, then grabbed the wine jug from his hand and opened the lid, the clean aroma of flowers mixed with alcohol hitting the nostrils.

Pouring the wine, drinking it, and then exhaling deeply.

"Refreshing!"

Then he joked with Qin Hu.

"Brother Qin, if I hadn’t quickly opened the door, we might not have gotten this wine, haha."

Qin Hu’s bearded face showed embarrassment, then with a hint of bewilderment, he said:

"Things changed so quickly, seeing the Mountain-cutting Army at your door, I, Old Qin, was indeed a bit fearful. I won’t lie to you, that door seemed like a high wall, making me feel that you, Brother Chen, were far away from me."

Chen Yuan heard this, laughed gently, and nodded, "Maybe, these things are unavoidable, as the common saying goes: the world changes, everyone conforms to customs, as long as I, Chen Yuan, still recognize you, Brother Qin, that’s enough."

"Come!"

Saying that, with one hand holding wine glasses and the other supporting them.

"Haha, to be honest, hearing the mighty Ninth Mountain’s Colonel call me Brother Qin, I, Qin Hu, wanted to go out and proudly tell our colleagues."

"Come, cheers!" Seeing Chen Yuan didn’t treat him as an outsider, Qin Hu’s heart swelled, and laughing heartily, he opened up.

The two clinked glasses and drained them.

Afterwards, Qin Hu opened the oil-paper packages excitedly and introduced them to Chen Yuan.

"This is Manxiang Tower’s braised pork knuckle, the skin and meat are tender, hey, one bite and that flavor is marvelous, you try it,"

"This is Drunken Immortal Inn’s wine-braised meat, stewed in fermented rice, the fragrance overwhelms, some people eat a piece of the meat and feel as if they are drunk, haha"

"This is....."

Gradually, as they poured and exchanged cups, eating these famous delicacies from White Emperor City, they casually chatted about the local customs of this prefecture.

Half an hour later, Qin Hu stood to leave.

"Brother Chen, this time it’s a farewell drink, to be honest, since I, Qin Hu, met you, I’ve known you do not belong here, the outside world is wonderful yet dangerous, the journey ahead is long and winding,"

Knowing that Chen Yuan would leave tomorrow, Qin Hu took out a Talisman from his sleeve.

"This is an Amulet I crafted myself."

"A parting gift, don’t laugh at it."

After saying this, he gave a deep bow, firmly saying,

"Take care!"

Then he turned and left.

During their conversation, he did not accept Chen Yuan’s invitation to join the Ninth Mountain and chose to remain in White Emperor City.

Chen Yuan looked at the Talisman in his hand, then raised his head to look at the retreating figure, a glint flashed in his eyes, and a golden light shot from his eyes, zipping into Qin Hu’s body, unbeknownst to him, until vanishing from sight.

Chen Yuan tucked the Talisman into his sleeve, then stood with his hands behind his back, watching the sunset in the distant mountains, leaving only a trace of afterglow.

He replayed in his mind the actions and gains from the past two days in White Emperor City.

Killing enemies, rallying troops.

There was still one thing left undone.

Plundering the treasury!

He thought of a solution.

Among the Seventy-two Earthly Fiend Divine Abilities, there should be one that could solve this.

Thinking thus, he turned and returned to his room, just as the last ray of the sunset disappeared among the distant mountains.

......

At midnight, twenty miles east of Fengkang County, a golden light streaked across the sky and stopped above Emerald Waves Lake.

Then, the golden light converged to reveal a figure.

It was Chen Yuan!

At this moment, Chen Yuan looked down at the pitch-black water beneath the night sky, shooting a beam of Magic Eye Golden Light from his eyes.

The surface of the water instantly boiled as if seething.

Then, Chen Yuan’s gaze intensified, and he flicked his sleeve downward.

His sleeve, like a Flowing Cloud Flying Sleeve, extended over thirty meters, then swelled in the wind to about three meters in diameter. A fierce suction force suddenly emerged.

"Boom"

"Boom"

Two thirty-meter-long water waves burst up instantly, then, like a dragon sucking water, were drawn up into the air by the Flowing Cloud Flying Sleeve.

Along with it, a water tornado emerged from the deep pool revealing various shimmering objects.

There were gold and silver, spiritual materials...

All transformed into streams of light, flying into the Flowing Cloud Flying Sleeve.

Twenty or so breaths later, no more objects flew out from the water tornado; it collapsed thunderously, turning into two large waves that crashed back into the lake.

At this time, Chen Yuan moved onward to the next treasury location.

Thirty minutes later, a golden light flew out from a volcanic cave, revealing a satisfied Chen Yuan within!

At this moment, he hugged one of his sleeves, his eyes flickering with a faint golden light, peering inside the sleeve.

Inside his field of vision, instead of his hand, there was a dark space in the sleeve, filled with gold and silver, spiritual materials piling up, shining with dazzling treasure light.

This black space had approximately a volume of hundred cubic meters, containing a Prohibition that could keep items trapped inside.

At this moment, a thought flashed through Chen Yuan’s mind.

"Heavenly Cup (1%): Thirty zhang in radius, Asvaamiva in a mustard seed, reaching high proficiency in Cultivation, capable of Sleeve Universe vast as heaven and earth, holding all under control..."

"Note: Capable of containing living beings, capturing myriad laws, confining enemies for a sure victory. With each Luck Point spent, it can expand by one zhang, and as the cultivation realm increases, Divine Power will naturally enhance."

This was one of the Seventy-two Earthly Fiend Divine Abilities, the Heavenly Cup.

This Divine Power, fitting Asvaamiva in a mustard seed, was extraordinary and mystical. Initially, Chen Yuan thought it was merely a Divine Power that could store external objects within one’s body.

Spending over eight hundred Luck Points, he barely managed to condense a mustard seed, and he faintly realized that this technique was not so simple.

He had endured a great battle with the Demon Cult, killed numerous Heavenly Pass Demons, and barely gathered just over a thousand Luck Points. (Originally he had only about seven hundred, but then he erased three Human Demons’ essences.)

Capture myriad laws?

These words were grandiosely written in the note.

Such boldness!

His expression fluctuated a few times, then he spat from his mouth, and a sword light howled out, its whistling piercing the sky, instantly becoming a thirty to forty meters giant.

Chen Yuan pinched his Sword finger, turned the sword light back, then like a meteor falling, the sword light roared down towards his own head.

Then, with a flick of his sleeve, the sleeve expanded instantly, capturing the sword light.

But under no guidance, the sword light suddenly buzzed, the descending momentum halted, its radiance flickering unstably. Both forces were at a stalemate mid-air.

After roughly a dozen breaths, under the activation of Chen Yuan’s True Qi, the Flowing Cloud Flying Sleeve finally managed to reduce the sword light, quickly absorbing it into the sleeve.

Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly.

It indeed worked!

Though it took long to capture the incoming sword light, his Sword Skill Divine Power had already condensed a Tao Seed; his Divine Power realm was not on the same level.

That just proves that this Heavenly Cup Divine Power was profoundly effective!

It could be beneficial to try feeding this technique more frequently.

And having completed all these, Chen Yuan thought that this trip to White Emperor City should now be considered Perfect, as it seemed everything that needed to be done was accomplished.

Finally, it was time to return home!
