Chapter 356: Breaking In
Chapter 356: Breaking In
Amber had a slight decent impression of the Jade Spear Palace.
Mainly because this Holy Land reminds her of the Jade Sword Palace back on the Heaven Sky’s Planet. And there are some genuine similarities between these two Sects.
It didn’t even matter that one was a grand God Realm Holy Land while the other was a tiny Mortal Sect.
In Amber’s eyes, these two Sects are still fervent maniacs about Martial cultivation and their weapons. All of their disciples are honest and frank, always striving to push themselves to the limits.
The Jade Spear Palace’s crazily determined attitude even allowed them to gain some amount of reputation among the Thunderous Collision World.
The Jade Spear Palace is one of the top contenders for one of the strongest forces in the Thunderous Collision World.
They are still inferior to Ancient Phoenixes, Huang Dragons, and even the Thunderous Sword Sect. But just the fact alone wasn’t enough to dissuade their fervent Martial Road.
When knowing all of this, Amber felt it was strange that these incredibly determined youths weren’t striving right into danger. She would expect them, out of most, to have the slightest reservations about exploring dangers.
In that moment, Amber quickly thought over her options.
She could just ignore them outright. But perhaps there was something unique about this island above all others?
‘And in any case, leaving here and I would just go back to wandering around aimlessly….’ Amber quickly came to her decision a moment later.
She fearlessly flew over to the Jade Spear Palace disciples, her aura entering their range of detection.
The Jade Spear Palaces disciples slightly perked.
“Hm?” They curiously turn their gazes off the island, wondering just why is some weak Sacred Sage aura coming over to them.
When seeing who it was, the disciples instantly sobered up.
‘It’s the lover of the seventh prince!’ They all exclaimed in silent shock.
Compared to the Divine Mortals, Amber’s reputation was far more mysterious. All that is clearly known is her Holy King level of talent and that she is the seventh prince Offical dragon lover.
Truly, Amber never made any outrageous feats for the public eye to witness. And yet, none of the Jade Spear Palace disciples dared to look upon her with disdain.
This is the lover of the current, world-renowned Divine Mortal!
She basically has the backing of the whole Huang Dragons and a future, terrifying powerhouse. Her low cultivation level didn’t really mean much.
Furthermore, the Jade Spear Palace disciples believed it was very possible Amber would have immensely powerful talismans or Spirit Artifacts to counteract any danger.
Thus, being the honest and frank people they are, the 3rdfall disciple took the lead of the group, stepping out first while cupping his fist.
“Greetings, Lady Huang. We are Ren Ming, Lin Shu, and Lu Ming of the Jade Spear Palace. Is there anything we can do for you?”
Amber stopped meters apart from the disciples and acknowledged their greetings.
Outwardly, her expression remained neutral. But inwardly, she felt a sense of pride and warmth over being referred to as ‘Lady Huang.’
It was almost too surreal how much her life changed since just being a small-time princess in the Lower Realms.
Amber felt amused but quickly shook her head of such thoughts. She took one glance at the island before asking them, “Mn. It is a pleasure. But let’s get to the point. Just why aren’t any of you exploring here? Did you discover great dangers within here?”
Lu Ming, the young man on the left, nodded, saying, “There is something invisible protecting this island. We can’t physically enter here. And our Divine Senses are also blocked by something invisible. Even when using our most powerful attacks, our Qi clashes with something invisible before dispersing.”
Lin Shi, the only girl in the group, spoke with a helpless expression. “We will be grateful if Lady Huang can help us in any way.”
Amber stayed silent. Her eyes had already closed in complete concentration. In this state, her Soul Senses penetrated deep into the island.
And for Amber, the results were instantaneous. Her Spiritual Sea promptly detected Spirit energy engulfing the entirety of the island!
With just a causal sweep over of her Spirit Sense, it was impossible to tell. But focusing on her Soul Sense gives Amber incredibly heightened awareness towards anything infused with Spirit energy.
Questions arose within Amber. ‘Spirit energy? No, not even Cain said something about this?’
Amber silently stimulated her Soul’s Core, causing a wave of dark blue Spirit energy to coat her right hand.
The Jade Spear Palaces were confused by Amber’s questions but chose to remain silent.
Under the disciples’ curious gazes, Amber waved her hand, unleashing down a stream of her dark blue Spirit energy.
As the disciples were expecting, the Spirit energy had clashed with some kind of invisible force.
But this time, the force clashing didn’t disperse.
Instead, the Spirit energy began to reveal the invisible force!
It was as if Amber had solved a puzzle. A bright flash sparked out when the Spirit energy clashed with the invisible force.
Everyone was forced to shield their eyes.
At the same time, potent Spirit energy sensations washed over them like gusts of winds.
A moment later, everyone opened their eyes to a surprising sight.
“This…a Spirit barrier?” The Jade Spear Palace disciples loudly gasped.
Before their very eyes was a massive grey-colored energy barrier.
The barrier’s reach covered the entirety of the abandoned island. Meaning, that this grey barrier had the power to protect a radius of thousands of miles along!
That would be enough to protect a mortal city within the lower realms. The amount of Spirit energy needed to sustain such a barrier would be a tremendous amount.
Amber estimated this Spirit energy reserves had to be at least tens of thousands of gallons.
The barrier had numerous patterns that looked incredibly similar to the Spirit insignia symbols on the disciples’ spears.
Even them, as Martial cultivators, could identify the symbols. They saw all around their main Palace headquarters.
This barrier had to be crafted by a formation path World Spirit Master!
The Jade Spear Palace disciples instantly had questions buzzing in their minds, similar to Amber.
Ren Ming muttered out loud, “Spirit energy? But how? No records showed anything about the Sea Master being related to a World Spirit Master?”
Lu Ming narrowed his eyes. “Even more than that, I don’t think World Spirit Masters even existed during the Primal Vaiser Era! Just what is going on?”
“I think…could this be something from a past explorer?” Lin Shi suggested. “This realm has been around for so long. And since there weren’t any World Spirit Masters during that era, it could most likely be the case.”
At this moment, Amber returned her gaze to the three disciples. She thought for a split moment before deciding to say, “That information is a bit obscure. Actually, it was said that Spirit energy was discovered before the Emperor Spirit Era. It’s only that such information is incredibly hard to find. Even our Dragon Ancestors has little information on it.”
“I see…” The Jade Spear Palaces simultaneously muttered. They briefly fell into contemplation as it was their first time hearing about this.
A slight rise of skepticism came upon them. But at the same time, they also knew it would make sense the Huang Dragon Imperial Palace would have more access to old and obscure news.
Their history is far superior to the Jade Sword Palace, after all. And this kind of history is privy to Lady Amber.
In their minds, they gradually realize how much status Amber has just from this minor exchange.
Amber actually didn’t even put much thought into her last answer.
She weighed in her the risk of her next decision before resolutely deciding to take a slight risk.
In any case, the probability of danger occurring from the disciples is considerably low. And these youths have a good head on their shoulders.
Thus, Amber gave a gentle smile, directly asking, “Would you three like to come with me? I have a way to breach inside this barrier. If I were to encounter any unexpected troubles, I would greatly appreciate the help. And take my word, I won’t be stingy on the rewards. I don’t have a particular interest in Martial cultivation.”
Ren Ming, Lin Shi, and Lu Ming were calmly listening until the last part. Their brows furrowed on pure reactionary instincts.
<o>,m ‘No interest in Martial cultivator? Then why even bother showing up here?’ The disciples had the same line of thoughts but obviously kept it to themselves.</o>
Considering Amber has confirmed high Martial talent, it was unfathomable that she didn’t want to use it to her full advantage.
Still, the disciples quickly realized the great opportunity before them. A protected island like this is bound to have plentiful special opportunities!
Lin Shi and Lu Ming quickly transmitted their agreements to Ren Ming. And as the group leader, Ren Ming stepped forward to say, “If Lady Huang really can breach this, it would be an honor to form a team with you.”
“Alright then. Just wait for a moment. This won’t take long.” Amber spoke with complete confidence.
She then quickly summoned a massive sum of Spirit energy to her right palm.
Dark blue lights flashed, sparkling out dazzling waves of Spirit energy like twilight. A faint dark blue Spirit aura shrouded Amber’s body. Her prowess rapidly rose to sky-heights!
‘Hm?’ The Jade Spear Palace disciples slightly stilted. Their intent gazes focus square on Amber’s hand.
‘Say, I wasn’t able to clearly perceive it before, but isn’t this Spirit energy at 2nd Class Perfection Layer? At least, it is almost entirely similar to the sensations I felt from it before.’ Lin Shi quickly transmitted this to her partners.
Lu Ming couldn’t come up with a direct answer. He even stimulated his Soul’s Core to increase his thoughts. But that still didn’t help with a concise explanation.
He felt a little helpless. ‘It should be? But it feels too strange. Almost like her energy is specifically infused with some other kind of force. But even that sensation is too vague.’
Ren Ming’s eyes glinted for a moment. But he only gave a generic reply, saying, ‘Lady Huang would be just as special as the lover to a grand Divine Mortal.’
Amber had no idea she caused such waves in their minds. After summoning her Spirit energy, she flickered over to appear right above the grey Spirit barrier.
Amber didn’t make any flashy move. She gently lowered her hand, lightly touching the Spirit barrier.
In that instant, she froze. A mass storm of Spirit energy sensation suddenly erupted from within her Spiritual Sea.
The sensations were potent, nearly overwhelming.
Any regular Spiritual Sea would face the danger of collapsing from just how powerful the Spirit energy sensations were.
Amber’s expression had even tightened. She was certainly feeling the increase of pressure.
Although, there wasn’t anything too worrying for her.
Amber forced through potent sensations, focusing her mind on pinpointing the weakest Spirit Sensations.
Soul energy continually poured into her Spiritual Sea at a slightly quicker pace. With this aid, her concentration increased far beyond her ordinary levels.
Then, merely five seconds after, Amber pinpointed her target. Her Spirit energy rushed towards the weakest Spirit Sensation, smashing into it like a massive tidal wave.
Amber’s pure Spirit energy power overwhelmed the weakest sensation. There wasn’t a single bit of resistance.
Glass-like cracks reverberated within Amber’s Spiritual Sea. Amber felt as if she had just smashed right through a steel door.
At the same on the outside, where Amber laid her hand, that small portion of the grey Spirit barrier began to tremble.
‘Ka-Cha!’
A loud breaking noise alerted the Jade Spear Palace disciples. They nearly jumped with fright at Amber’s current achievement.
In their eyes, by just touching this impenetrable Spirit barrier, she broke right through its defenses!
