C584 Got It

Rice can withstand the pressure of the Star Pavilion, confirming Woo Zhengyang and the others' suspicions. This little foodie indeed swallowed the Alien Mysterious Rock and fused with its abilities. Due to this fusion, the rock's powers became Rice's own, allowing her to remain unaffected by the Star Pavilion's pressure, while others cannot enter. Now, only Woo Zhengyang and Rice can access the pavilion.

As for whether Rice will gain unexpected benefits from consuming the rock, it's still uncertain. However, her ability to withstand the pavilion's pressure is already impressive. When the Star Pavilion was first established, even the Palace Lord of the Hundred Flower Palace, a formidable martial emperor, couldn't endure its pressure.

A martial emperor couldn't handle it, yet Rice can withstand it effortlessly. This means that even if a martial emperor tries to overpower Rice with sheer force, it won't work. Not even Woo Zhengyang can achieve this, as his immunity to the pavilion's pressure relies on the Star World's essence and the power of the Star Bead. Once he leaves this world, his true form would be revealed.

Several days had passed, and Rice was still in a deep sleep. During this time, Woo Zhengyang stayed by Rice's side, only realizing the agreed-upon date with the Heavenly Mirror Pavilion and the three Martial Mansions when Bing'er reminded him.

As he stepped out of the Misty Mountain Range, Woo Zhengyang saw Lee Yuanye waiting outside with the leaders of the three Martial Mansions. In front of them was a massive table-like artifact, laden with an impressive array of rare treasures.

Such a display left Woo Zhengyang a bit surprised. Could it be that the Heavenly Mirror Pavilion and the three Martial Mansions had compromised so easily?

"Big brother, you finally made it out. Did you know we've been waiting for three days?" Lee Yuanye complained as soon as he saw Woo Zhengyang.

"Three days? Isn't today the agreed date?"

"Today is the agreed date, but we arrived three days early to switch shifts. We thought with your great abilities, you'd notice us. But you had no clue, and we've been waiting in vain for three days..."

Woo Zhengyang felt a bit embarrassed. He had been so focused on staying with Rice that he hadn't paid attention to anything outside. Bing'er and the others were busy with their own tasks, so no one had time to check the surroundings.

Who would have thought that the Heavenly Mirror Pavilion and the three Martial Mansions would gather enough treasures so quickly and even deliver them ahead of schedule?

In this world, shouldn't the experts from the Heavenly Mirror Pavilion make an appearance to intimidate Woo Zhengyang a bit before negotiating?

"Throw the stuff over!" Things seemed a bit off, so Woo Zhengyang was extra cautious. He stood at the edge of the Misty Mountain Range, addressing Lee Yuanye and his companions.

"You're really careful, big brother. Relax, there's no ambush around," Lee Yuanye chuckled.

Woo Zhengyang remained unmoved. Even if nothing seemed unusual, he wouldn't leave the Misty Mountain Range; otherwise, he'd be at the mercy of others given his strength.

Seeing Woo Zhengyang still hesitant, Lee Yuanye didn't push further. He took a Hidden Heaven Bag and packed up the pile of rare treasures from the table, then tossed it to Woo Zhengyang.

Woo Zhengyang caught the bag and glanced inside. Three hundred and sixty plant-based treasures were all intact.

He examined a few with suspicion but found no issues. The treasures were genuine and of good quality.

This made Woo Zhengyang even more puzzled. Three hundred and sixty treasures, just like that?

It was all too smooth, so smooth it felt unreal to Woo Zhengyang.

"Big brother, you've checked everything, right? If there are no problems, shouldn't you release our people?" Lee Yuanye said ingratiatingly.

"No problem," Woo Zhengyang said as he turned and walked back to Bewilderment Dragon Stream.

Although he was filled with suspicion due to Lee Yuanye and his group's actions, Woo Zhengyang was a man of his word. However, before proceeding, he wanted to check in with Yun'er, as he had a feeling things were going too smoothly.

After entering Bewilderment Dragon Stream, Woo Zhengyang went straight to the heart of the Hundred Flower Palace.

"Sir!"

Yun'er exclaimed with delight upon seeing Woo Zhengyang. After resting for a few days, she was no longer as frail.

"Yun'er, take a look at these treasures. Are they useful to you?" Woo Zhengyang asked, pulling the treasures out of his Hidden Heaven Bag.

"Wow... so many treasures... Sir, did you find all these for me? I'm so touched... This must be what it feels like to be cared for... I'm so happy..." Yun'er said, tears of joy in her eyes.

Woo Zhengyang couldn't help but smile wryly. Lately, Yun'er had been like a young girl just stepping into the world, easily moved to tears or laughter, far from the demeanor of a Martial Emperor.

"Don't get too emotional yet. Check if there's anything wrong with these items. Can you absorb them?"

"Yes, yes, I can. Absorbing these treasures won't fully restore my power, but I'll be able to take human form. Then I can play with Bing'er and the others," Yun'er said excitedly.

After Yun'er was severely injured while helping Woo Zhengyang absorb the Star Bead, Bing'er and her three companions learned of her sacrifice. They were immensely grateful to Yun'er, realizing that her efforts, although seemingly for Woo Zhengyang, ultimately benefited them.

As a result, Bing'er and the others frequently visited Yun'er for chats, quickly forming a close bond and referring to each other as sisters. Despite their similar ages, having all lived since the ancient cataclysm thousands of years ago, Bing'er and her friends had been sealed away for years, while Yun'er remained conscious and had advanced significantly in her abilities. Naturally, Yun'er took on the role of the elder sister.

During this time, Bing'er and her companions were busy helping with the development of Great Leaf Village and Daxing Village, thoroughly enjoying their work. Yun'er, seeing their enthusiasm, was eager to join in.

Now, with a collection of rare treasures before her, Yun'er couldn't resist any longer. She focused on absorbing them, momentarily setting aside her concern for Woo Zhengyang. A thin line extended from the center of Yun'er's flower-like form, piercing one of the treasures. As the treasure visibly withered, Yun'er's essence rapidly rejuvenated.

In no time, the treasure was reduced to a pile of dust on the ground, its energy completely absorbed.
