"So there has been some news about him then. So, what kind is it? Has he been located?" I asked, raising my brow with great interest.
"We know the general area of where he might be but we don't have anything more than that. Sad to say. I know you really want to find him..." Hua Qing Si answered.
"Wrong, it doesn't matter what I want. We must find him. The Human Race will fall completely and totally without his aid. We need more time to prepare our forces. And at this current moment only one person in all the 3000 Worlds has this ability. And it isn't myself, of that, I can assure you. We must find Wu Kuang! Even if I have to push back my own cultivation for another year or two. It is far more important that we find him." I said correcting Hua Qing Si's perception. "This matter is of utmost importance. If it wasn't for my father being in seclusion right now, I'd have already gone in search of Wu Kuang. But I can't leave since I'm the only one with the ability to stabilize my father's cultivation if it gets too rough on him. Even so, I'd still have to borrow some of the Star Boundary's power to be a match for him. For now that is." I added.
"I see, I had been under the impression it was just a side matter. I'll send some 7th ranks... How about those three?" Hua Qing Si suggested, pointing towards the door that now had a few figures waiting there.
"Hmm, what do you think? Would my Senior Sister and Senior Brother's like to go on a mission?" I said, offering the mission to them.
"Hmph! Who wants to go on a stupid mission..." Zhao Ya hmphed annoyed.
"If you go, I'll make sure that he realizes his stupidity." I said, cutting Zhao Ya off.
"Hmm, throw in a jar of that wine Step-mother gave us and it's a deal!" Zhao Ya said, quickly turning her tone. Her eyes lit up with sparkles.
"Wow, Sister, you sure changed your tone fast." Xu Yi said in a nervous tone, still timid towards Zhao Ya.
"Junior Brother, what exactly do you mean by "make him realize his stupidity"?" Zhao Ye Bai asked, confused about what could possibly change Zhao Ya's mind that fast.
"Oh, you don't need to worry about it. Now then, a Jar of wine for each of you and I'll allocate some extra cultivation resources and methods for each of you. And to aid your mission I'll give you this..." I said tossing three obviously precious scrolls to them. "In that scroll contains a method I use that integrates the Spear, Space and Time Daos. If you three work together closely enough, I'm sure this will yield some interesting results. My father has a technique that also utilizes these Daos. The difference is that mine is more for rapid travel and clearing the way, while my father's is for a high damage attack. I'm curious to see what you come up with when working together under similar principles." I explained.
"Junior Brother, this Scroll seems to have something else in it as well. Is this the first part or something different?" Xu Yi asked, having already taken a look at the scroll while Zhao Ya was beating on Zhao Ye Bai for not understanding already.
"Both. Once the three of you master that, the rest will come easy. I doubt would lose against the average newly promoted 8th rank. Of course this all depends on your own ability." I smiled. "Now, take a few days to prepare. Ideally I'd go with you to make sure everything goes smoothly. Instead, take these as well." I said tossing a few other items towards them.
"Oh, this is a pretty token, Junior Brother, where did you get this?" Zhao Ya asked.
"The power within feels frightening. Like it could instantly kill a 7th rank with ease." Zhao Ye Bai noted, as a nervous sweat fell from his brow.
"Good, you noticed it. Those are tokens containing a Divine attack from yours truly. Even if you come across a peak 8th rank adversary, one, of these, will, turn the odds in your favor. Moreover, they can not be activated without a true sense of danger no matter what. And I'll know if they have ever been used. You could think of them like a trump card or last resort. I'd prefer you don't use them. I'd prefer not to be questioned by the cave heaven paradises too much." I explained.
"What happens if we have to use all of them? And we are still in danger?" Xu Yi asked casually.
"Ahahaha! The enemy would have to be numerous, or be a 9th rank opponent. And even then they will not get out unscathed. But rest assured if a 9th rank foe appears, I and Mother Smiles will be there before the final token is used." I laughed, and then explained with a chuckle. "Alright, now then, I think that is everything that needs to be addressed here. I'll head over to the alchemy school building now and see these good seedlings that Mother Xia had mentioned. There is, after all, a difference between seeing it through the Star Boundary and in person." I smiled softly.
"Wow, so you aren't worried about us at all, are you?" Zhao Ya teased.
"Well, the three of you are 7th ranks. This will serve as training for you, something the three of you sorely need. You may be a little better in combat power than most. But you are lacking heavily in experience. And that is something that can only be learned on one's own. I do worry but, I know you'll be fine. If you weren't going to be fine, my father never would have taken you in as his disciples no matter what. He has his way of telling a person's worth at a glance." I said as I stretched walking towards the door.
"Sister Zhao Ya, you shouldn't give Junior Brother such a hard time. He has a lot on his plate now." Xu Yi mentioned timidly, yet still said something in my defense.
"Now, now, you three, Young Palace Master has important places to be. And you should begin preparing for the mission. Come with me and I'll brief you on the details." Hua Qing Si spoke up as is her place to do so.
I left, disappearing with a few steps.
