Fantasy: My Wife is the Empress, and Our Cute Kids Wreak Havoc in the Nine Provinces – Chapter 147

Chapter 147: Arriving at the Divine Mountain, the Ancient Divine Lotus Appears

The location of the Ancient Divine Pool constantly shifts within the secret realm. Every time the secret realm opens, the location of the Ancient Divine Pool is different.

To find the exact location of the Ancient Divine Pool, one must possess a map that marks its position.

However, this map is not unique. As long as those prodigies are willing to share their maps with other prodigies, they can eventually piece together the location of the Ancient Divine Pool.

Furthermore, even without a map indicating the location of the Ancient Divine Pool, as soon as someone enters it, an ancient aura will burst forth, permeating the entire secret realm.

At that time, all the prodigies will naturally follow this ancient aura.

Prodigies with maps simply have a greater opportunity than others.

However, the location of the Ancient Divine Pool is often surrounded by countless powerful demon beasts.

The routes marked on the map are absolutely safe, allowing prodigies to reach the Ancient Divine Pool unimpeded.

Prodigies without a map must fight their way through these powerful demon beasts to enter the Ancient Divine Pool.

Among these demon beasts, sixth-rank ones are everywhere, and there are also some seventh-rank ones.

To fight through these demon beasts, one must pay an extremely heavy price.

“We’ve arrived!”

Deep within a mountain range in the secret realm, Long Shaoyu hovered in the air, looking at the map in his hand and then at a large mountain in front of him. A smile appeared on his face. “According to the map, the Ancient Divine Pool is on the summit of that mountain.”

“Then let’s hurry.”

Chu Xin and Chu Chen urged impatiently.

Long Shaoyu asked with some concern, “Ai Chirou, Ai Kaorou, do you remember the plan I told you on the way?”

“We remember.”

Chu Chen nodded his little head and said in a childish voice, “Before entering the Ancient Divine Pool, we are not allowed to attack. After entering the Ancient Divine Pool, we will attack the four most powerful prodigies and snatch the map.”

He then muttered quietly, “Such a simple plan, even a three-year-old can remember it.”

Slap!

Chu Xin stretched out her small, fair hand and slapped Chu Chen’s little head, glaring at him with her big, round eyes. “Stupid Younger Brother, we are three years old.”

“Oh, right.”

Chu Chen scratched his head and chuckled dryly, correcting himself, “Such a simple plan, even a two-year-old can remember it.”

“Yes!”

Chu Xin nodded in agreement.

Long Shaoyu’s lips moved, but he ultimately didn’t say anything.

His goal was to have the two brats hold back the other prodigies, giving him time to seize the Ancient Divine Lotus.

This plan was indeed very simple, but as long as there were no accidents, he had a high chance of obtaining the Ancient Divine Lotus.

Boom!

Just then, the mountain shook with a loud rumble. Powerful energy fluctuations swept out, destroying a large swathe of trees and killing some demon beasts that couldn’t escape in time.

“Looks like someone got here first.”

Long Shaoyu’s expression changed slightly, and his eyes narrowed.

This commotion was clearly caused by someone attacking the protective formation of the Ancient Divine Pool.

“Someone’s already there?”

Hearing this, Chu Xin and Chu Chen quickly urged, “Big Brother, let’s hurry, we can’t let them take the map.”

“Okay!”

Long Shaoyu nodded and flew towards the Divine Mountain with everyone.

In fact, now that they had found the Ancient Divine Pool, the secret realm map was no longer very useful.

The location of the Cangzhou teleportation gate had already appeared on the map. He could go to the Cangzhou teleportation gate at any time and wait for it to open.

◈◈◈

As for the location of the Middle Province teleportation gate?

He never intended to look for it, and he never planned to take the two brats to the Middle Province from the beginning.

After he forged the Ancient Divine Body, if he could kill these two brats, he would take their treasures. If not, he would trick them into going to Cangzhou and persuade them to work for him.

With these two brats’ talents, they would definitely be able to help him on his path to dominating the Nine Provinces in the future.

While he was thinking, the group had already arrived at the summit of the Divine Mountain. In the center of the summit was a small pool ten zhang long and three zhang wide.

The pool was filled with clear water. In the center floated a large patch of lotus leaves. In the middle of the lotus leaves was a huge lotus stem, and on the stem was a lotus flower in full bloom.

The Ancient Divine Lotus!

Long Shaoyu looked at the immature lotus flower, and a hint of excitement appeared in his eyes.

This was the Ancient Divine Lotus that could forge the Ancient Divine Body. Even with his composure, he couldn’t quite control his excitement.

“Big Brother, are you scared?” Seeing Long Shaoyu’s body trembling slightly, Chu Xin thought he was afraid of the prodigies hovering above the summit.

Chu Chen patted his little chest and said in a childish voice, “Don’t worry, Big Brother, we will protect you.”

“Okay.”

Long Shaoyu came back to his senses and nodded slightly. To reassure the two brats, he forcibly suppressed his excitement and struggled to shift his gaze away from the Ancient Divine Lotus to the prodigies who had arrived earlier.

As soon as he looked, his pupils contracted. He muttered, “The Fourth Prodigy, Su Qingyu, the Third Prodigy, Mu Yebai, the Second Prodigy, Li Yuxin, all three of the top prodigies are here.”

In addition to these three prodigies, there were dozens of other prodigies, standing behind the three top prodigies, divided into three camps.

At this moment, all the prodigies had stopped attacking and turned to look at them.

However, their gazes only swept over Chu Xin, Chu Chen, the Square-Faced Youth, and the Young Archer before finally landing on Long Shaoyu.

The Square-Faced Youth and the Young Archer were only at the peak of the Martial Venerable realm, not a threat.

As for Chu Xin and Chu Chen, judging by their height, they were less than five years old, too young to pose any threat. They were probably brought in by some major power manipulating the provincial competition.

Only Long Shaoyu, although they couldn’t sense his strength, was standing in the middle, so the prodigies naturally assumed he was the leader of the group.

“Young Master’s aura seems somewhat familiar. Could it be an old acquaintance?”

Su Qingyu tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, her beautiful eyes carefully examining Long Shaoyu, looking somewhat puzzled.

She had a graceful figure, with long, fair legs that were faintly visible under her purple robe. Her delicate features and fair skin made her quite eye-catching.

“I am Gui Yu. Miss, you must be mistaken.”

Long Shaoyu naturally didn’t want to reveal his identity, as that would draw the attention of the other prodigies to him.

“Is that so?”

Su Qingyu looked doubtful but didn’t dwell on it.

The Third Prodigy, Mu Yebai, said indifferently, “Since you’re here, let’s attack together. We’ll break this protective formation as soon as possible, and then it’s every man for himself when it comes to seizing the Divine Lotus.”

He was handsome and tall, wearing a pair of gloves, clearly skilled in fist techniques.

“If you plan to sit back and reap the benefits, die!”

The Second Prodigy, Li Yuxin, glanced at Long Shaoyu and said coldly.

Her beauty was on par with Su Qingyu’s. She was taller and had a stronger aura, but she was too cold, making people afraid to approach her.

When she said the word “die,” a strong killing intent erupted from her body. Even with Long Shaoyu’s cultivation, he felt his breathing stagnate. This showed her formidable strength.
