Chapter 402: 399: Creating Trouble_1

“This Huang Dayou really stepped on some dog shit luck.”

“Yeah, why don’t I have Huang Dayou’s luck? It’s just so infuriating.”

“Enough, stop talking. If Huang Dayou pleases the Young Sect Master with one remark, he’ll have the Young Sect Master’s support in the future. If you want to suffer, that’s easy! Do you, an Outer Sect Disciple, dare to speak up now?”

“Hey, kid, if you’re smart, you’ll suck up to Huang Dayou when he comes out later. Huang Dayou’s status when he went with the Young Sect Master wasn’t great, but now that he’s back, he might be a big deal.”

Meanwhile…

Yang Chen walked towards Feitian Peak with Huang Dayou, while asking Huang about the Emperor’s Treasure.

Huang Dayou seemed to know a lot about the Emperor’s Treasure, starting with, “I don’t know if Young Sect Master is aware of this, but since you want the specifics, let me tell you that the Treasure is located in Taifeng Mountain. As everyone knows, there is a secret realm entrance in Taifeng Mountain, but it’s a pity that the entrance is sealed by the power left by the Great Emperor, and no one can break it.”

Yang Chen, of course, already knew this surface-level information, but he didn’t blame Huang Dayou for wasting words. He raised his hand and said, “Continue.”

Huang Dayou saw that Yang Chen was comfortable listening and had no hint of displeasure. He was even more excited and quickly continued, “You must know that the Emperor’s Treasure is about to be opened, actually within this period. The entire Treasure Palace is essentially a secret realm, and there are prohibitions on the surface of the realm. Even if the entrance is opened, only geniuses under 40 can enter.”

“Oh?” Yang Chen stroked his chin with interest.

So, it was true that the older martial artists couldn’t enter the secret realm, but it was open to a wide range of people under 40.

Because, although geniuses who entered the Origin Martial Realm under 40 were not in the majority, they still existed.

As for how to detect whether geniuses under 40 years old could enter, a powerful person like the Great Emperor must have his own means.

This made Yang Chen massage his eyebrows, a mix of laughter and tears in his heart.

Huang Dayou didn’t notice Yang Chen’s expression changing and continued obliviously, “As you know, when the secret realm opens, whoever enters first has the possibility of finding the Treasure left by the Great Emperor. Although everyone knows that the Treasure is only in the Inner Area, it’s not entirely true; there are also treasures in the Periphery, although not as much. This has already made the sect geniuses green with envy.”

Yang Chen wasn’t surprised, after all, it was the Emperor’s Treasure. The word “Great Emperor” was associated with numerous treasures. A button on one of his clothes might be worth more than all the treasures on someone’s body.

“So, the major sects are already waiting outside the realm entrance, basically choosing suitable positions to better enter the realm. Our Yuanshan Sect has about 3,000 geniuses who are waiting outside the entrance to the realm,” said Huang Dayou.

Hearing this, Yang Chen was stunned and said, “If that’s the case, then most of the other major forces must have people waiting outside the secret realm as well.”

Even if the other sects were worse off than the Yuanshan Sect, they wouldn’t be lagging too far behind.

Entering the realm all at once, the number would be at least tens of thousands. In such a grand event, the Genius Selection Competition was nothing in comparison.

“Isn’t it? Except for the people in Beishan Main City, Canghai Sect, our Yuanshan Sect, the Six Sects, and various other large and small forces, including loose cultivators, are all blocking the entrance to the secret realm. But what is our Yuanshan Sect’s position? Naturally, we are waiting at the forefront of the secret realm exit,” Huang Dayou said with a flattering smile.

Yang Chen nodded. He had a better understanding of the current situation with the emperor’s treasure.

Then, Yang Chen asked, “Is there a confirmed opening time for the realm entrance now?”

“According to the investigation by the seniors within the Sect, the prohibition is weakening, and it is estimated that the realm will open in about thirty-five days,” Huang Dayou said.

“Oh? So, have all the geniuses under forty in our sect gone to wait at the entrance to the realm?” Yang Chen asked.

Huang Dayou quickly shook his head, “No, people like me went once, saw the situation, and knowing that there were no benefits to be gained, hurried back. There are also some who know that going would be futile, so they don’t have any intentions of going. However, there are more people going. Oh, right, there are a few genius disciples waiting in the Sect. They are waiting for you to return, as ordered by the Wood Sect Leader, so you can leave together.”

Yang Chen mulled over this statement and quickly understood Mu Baisheng’s intentions.

Yang Chen raised the corners of his mouth, “I’m not in a hurry to leave. Speaking of which, Huang Dayou, your answers are quite good, and I’m very satisfied.”

Huang Dayou looked flattered, “Young Sect Master, you’re too kind. Serving you, Young Sect Master, Huang Dayou will naturally give his best.”

“Don’t worry, I won’t treat you poorly. Since you helped me, I, Yang Chen, won’t be stingy. Here are five thousand spirit stones for you as payment.” Yang Chen waved his hand, handing over a bag of spirit stones.

“Young Sect Master, you are really generous.” Huang Dayou couldn’t stop smiling. He hadn’t expected to receive Spirit Stones, and was naturally overjoyed.

Yang Chen didn’t intend to give Huang Dayou too many benefits.

Actually, 5,000 Spirit Stones might not seem like a lot, but for Yang Chen, the key to Huang Dayou’s explanation of the Treasure was not the Spirit Stones, but his face.

No matter if he brings up Huang Dayou in the future or not, people in the Yuanshan Sect will treat Huang Dayou with a bit more consideration for Yang Chen’s reputation. After all, no one can guarantee if Huang Dayou has any relationship with Yang Chen or not.

That’s the real advantage—his reputation in the Yuanshan Sect is no ordinary matter.

“The Treasure will open in a month’s time. There’s no need to rush.” With Huang Dayou gone now, Yang Chen mumbled to himself, “And the Sect Leader left a few genius disciples with me to go to the realm entrance… This is to give me trouble.”

How could Yang Chen not know what Mu Baisheng meant by this?

He didn’t even have to think about it to know that the genius disciples left behind were the wildest ones in the Yuanshan Sect at the moment.

What were these wildest disciples left behind for? To cause trouble for him, of course.
