"A few millennia ago…" Shen Yanxiao gazed in the distance, for how was she to know of the seal's origins. If it weren't for the fact that Xiu had told her, it was very likely that she simply wouldn't have discovered that there was a seal on her body.
'That's right. The 7 Stars Locking Moon Seal was initially developed by the God Emperor of the God race in order to deal with the devil race. Later, the information was unknowingly stolen and brought over to the devil clan's side, where it then finally spread between both clans.' Xiu had actually agreed with the Vermillion Bird's words.
'At first, I was also very curious as to why this sort of seal would appear on you, on this human body.'
Shen Yanxiao was a little bit dazed. The information that Xiu and the Vermillion Bird had just given her was too much, and she truly didn't know just where should she start from.
"However, your body has this thing, which means that the power within your body is far more than what you currently have. Not bad. I believe that as soon as you've undone the seventh layer of the seal, you ought to be entitled to become my genuine master." The Vermillion Bird was very pleased as he learned about the new discovery, for he truly didn't wish for his own master to have the ordinariness of an ordinary person, as this would greatly harm his face as a mythological beast.
"Xiu will help me undo the seal. However, before then, it seems like there's still something that I ought to do." Shen Yanxiao recalled that she'd still fallen short of the final batch of low level crystallic nuclei that she'd yet get her hands on. The period of time where she'd gone to the lava valley had delayed her progress, but the sage still hadn't left, and she truly felt that it wasn't proper for her to make her move on the imperial palace.
"He can undo the 7 Stars Locking Moon Seal?" He was flabbergasted regarding Shen Yanxiao's words. As far as he knew, the number of people that could actually undo the 7 Star Locking Moon weren't many. Moreover, a majority of them had died millenias ago, during the wartime between the gods and the devils.
Shen Yanxiao nodded.
The Vermillion Bird became even more curious about Xiu's identity.
No matter how curious the Vermillion Bird was, Shen Yanxiao didn't have the mood to match its vigorous curiosity. She urgently needed this last batch of the crystallic nuclei to be collected, and then to properly have Xiu help her undo the second layer of the seal. She'd already planned that, before she went to the Holy Roland School, she'd focus on her Dou Qi cultivation until it reached rank 6.
Very soon, Shen Yanxiao's opportunity had come. The sage's arrival hadn't just made every single influential official within the imperial capital take note of it, it had even made the people from the other 4 large clans restless. Everyone knew that, in this world, the only person that could rouse the mythological beasts was the sage from the God's Domain.
The four large clans immediately sent out invitations for the sage to help them. In just a few days, the sage was dragged away by the people of the White Tiger Clan.
There was no longer a need to think; Shen Yanxiao knew that, in the following few days, the sage and the people from the God's Domain would all depart from the imperial capital, and would proceed towards the place where the White TIger was currently lying dormant. This would be the best chance for her to make a move.
On one moonless night, this heartless little thief that'd been silent for so long, finally moved once again. This time, she had her pair of sin-like claws extended towards the imperial palace that was strictly guarded.
However, this time, Shen Yanxiao was extremely careful not to steal any luxury goods that were extremely special, instead targeting things that were solidly cash. Moreover, this time, she was even more bold, for she directly stole from the Long Xuan Empire's treasury. She swept through their money like a gale, storing all of the money that she could within her storage ring.
The emperor couldn't even begin to fathom how powerful the Qilin Auction House was. Once the emperor discovered the theft, he'd definitely have the entire city searched. She didn't want to take any golden tools or precious stones that had distinctive features and would allow others to discover her whereabouts.
She couldn't help but say that the Long Xuan Empire's treasury truly was… quite well-off, ah!
She'd forcibly stuffed all of her storage rings full to the brim.
That however, was a full one hundred cubic meters of empty space she could utilize! It was very hard for even Shen Yanxiao herself to estimate just how much money she'd taken in the end. However, even with how much she had taken, she'd only emptied out a tenth of the total amount of gold coins in the Long Xuan Empire's treasury.
