Chapter 1838: Deep in the Mountains

..Yes!"That confidante agreed, immediately turning and flying towards Xianchen's Second Regiment.And at this time, the deputy and others on Xingyu Zhou had already seen this confidant coming over."Com...This is a pristine, remote mountain range untouched by human hands.

It was all a jumble of trees and weeds, with no discernible path.

But after entering the mountains, Xiang Tianhe's sense of direction was very clear. He led Fang Yu deep into the forest without stopping for a moment.

It's clear that Xiang Tianhe is very familiar with this deep mountain.

"Master Fang, please restrain your aura."

After walking for a long time, Xiang Tianhe suddenly stopped and turned to remind.

"Is there nobody else here" Fang Yu asked.

"There was no one else, but there was a beast." Xiang Tianhe lowered his voice and said.

"A ferocious beast Could it be the guardian spirit of the Immaculate Celestial Heart" Fang Yu narrowed his eyes and asked.

"It's about right. It is indeed guarding the Pure Heart of Heaven," Xiang Tianhe said, "But perhaps because it's too old, it's usually in a semi-sleep state. As long as we don't make too much noise, it won't notice us."

"Alright," Fang Yu nodded.

Thus, the two continued to venture deeper inside.

……

At this very moment, the palace is in utter chaos.

The commotion caused by Fang Yu's battle with the masked man alerted the Imperial City guards. Thousands of guards rushed to the palace in a frenzy, but they found no trace of His Majesty the Emperor.

And at the East Palace, things were just as chaotic.

The headless corpse of Tian Gong's elder, Chang Jian, still lay on the ground outside the deep well, blood flowing freely.

And the prime suspect, Fang Yu, has disappeared.

As for the Crown Prince and the other celestial cultivators, there was no sign of them.

Many guards were like headless flies, flustered and anxious but unable to act.

……

Outside, the situation was extremely chaotic, but Fang Yu and Xiang Tianhe had entered a realm of utter tranquility.

In the center of the deep mountains, after numerous tangled trees and weeds, there was surprisingly a naturally formed cave.

Xiang Tianhe led Fang Yu deep into the mountains, determined to find this cave entrance.

"The Pure Heaven's Heart...it's kept right here." Xiang Tianhe looked at the cave in front of him, took a deep breath, and said.

Fang Yu looked around and saw that the cave was big enough, inside was a spacious passage.

But from the traces on the ground and the state of the weeds growing outside the cave, even Xiang Tianhe hasn't been here for many years.

"It's been about a hundred years since I last came here," Xiang Tianhe said. "To be precise... after I took over as the head of the Xiang family and learned about the existence of Wu Gou Tian Xin, I have only been here twice."

"The first time was when the head of the household was handed over, and the second... was over a hundred years ago when I came here to check things out..."

After all, a place like this is better left undisturbed.

Fang Yu looked at Xiang Tianhe and smiled faintly: "Such a big cave, it should hold more than just the Wugou Tianxin inside, right"

Xiang Tianhe gently nodded and said, “This place can be considered as the secret treasure vault of our Xiang family. Only each generation’s head of the family knows the exact location. There are indeed many treasures stored inside. But as I said before, Wu Gou Tian Xin is definitely the most valuable treasure among them. As for the other treasures… If Fang Sect Leader takes a liking to any piece later, I can also gift it…”

“This is the secret treasure vault of your Xiang family, you just brought me in here, aren't you afraid I'll empty it” Fang Yu raised an eyebrow and asked.

"With Fang Sect Master's strength, if you really wanted to do this, I would be helpless. " Xiang Tianhe shook his head with a wry smile and said, "But I believe Fang Sect Master is not such a person... Just like the former Overlord Saint Venerable, like you powerful people, your character is always noble."

"That's not necessarily so." Fang Yu remained noncommittal.

"Come in with me."

xiang tian he no longer spoke, and walked towards the inside of the cave.

Fang Yu followed behind him, slowly entering it.

Once we entered the cave, the light immediately dimmed.

The passage is not long, only about fifty meters, but it bends twice in a row.

After passing through the corridor, there was an open plain before you.

And straight ahead, there stood a stone wall, appearing to be a dead end, with no way forward.

However, Xiang Tianhe walked to the stone wall and took out an ancient golden token from his bosom.

He clasped the token in his palm, closed his eyes, and murmured a spell under his breath.

"Whoosh..."

Words spoken become reality, tokens shimmer with light.

And the stone wall ahead began to flicker as well.

After a brief flash, it vanished instantly!

The situation within sight suddenly underwent drastic changes.

Behind the original stone wall, a clear spring can be seen.

Above the spring, there is a cave opening where light penetrates.

As soon as Fang Yu saw the spring water, his eyes flickered.

This spring water emanated a scent that was very familiar to him.

Power of Life!

Star fruit!

Fang Yu's eyes flickered, he glanced at Xiang Tianhe, and then quickly walked towards the spring.

At this time, you can see that around the clear spring, there are piles of treasure chests, as well as armor, blades, and various kinds of magical implements.

"Lao Xiang, your family seems to be quite wealthy. There must be many treasures hidden within the palace, right" Fang Yu said as he walked.

"Compared to the treasures here, those in the palace... are nothing." Xiang Tianhe said as he followed behind.

Two people walked to the spring, one after the other.

"Lao Xiang, this spring water isn't ordinary water, is it" Fang Yu peered through the clear spring water, able to see straight to the bottom.

But he did not discover the existence of the Starfruit.

“Well, according to the former head of the family, these spring waters can heal wounds. As long as a person is alive, any degree of injury can be quickly restored through these spring waters,” Xiang Tianhe said, “However, since I became the head of the family, our Xiang family hasn’t really needed to use these spring waters, so… I haven’t verified the efficacy of these spring waters myself.”

After hearing Xiang Tianhe's words, Fang Yu could almost be certain...the spring water in front of him was definitely related to the Star Fruit!

"Where is the Pure Heavenly Heart kept" Fang Yu asked, turning away from the spring.

"The Pristine Heaven's Heart wasn't stored in the box... It is within the spring water," Xiang Tianhe said.

"Um"

Fang Yu was taken aback and turned his head to look at the spring water in front of him again.

Xiang Tianhe took a few steps forward and walked to the edge of the spring. He took a deep breath.

"Ancestors, please forgive us... The descendants of the Xiang family have indeed failed to comprehend and possess the ability of a pure and innocent heart."

Having said that, Xiang Tianhe once again clasped his hands together and recited the incantation.

"Bang!"

The opening above shot down a more intense beam of light, striking straight at the center of the spring.

"Whoosh."

In the middle of the spring, a whirlpool slowly formed.

And soon, a strange aura emanated from the heart of the vortex.

Fang Yu's eyes narrowed slightly, staring straight at the center of the whirlpool.

In a short while, a heart the size of a double fist, with a bronze hue, slowly rose from within the beam of light!

This heart is like a stone, but for some reason... it gives the feeling that it's alive.

hf;y, you only need to identify their leader and execute him.""Meaningless To vent my rage is all the meaning I need!" Zhenlong Tianjun's emotions were almost out of control, his eyes flashed red, and a...
