A Year of Great Undertakings - Book 6, Chapter 75: Meeting (1/2)

Sky City

When Su Chen reappeared above the palace er considered an eneuest

Three hundred Harpy fe fresh flowers in their hands and for hi floated through the air in Su Chen’s direction This song was used by the Harpies to greet ian to dance in time with the music

The Harpies were incredibly talentedfor themselves Su Chen had only heard it once despite the fact that he had been in Sky Country for so long

Amidst this joyful, celebratory reeted Eternal Night

Soht was still a skinny old man, but now his eyes were filled with hope towards the future

When Eternal Night saw Su Chen, a rare smile appeared on his face “Sect Master Su has finally arrived I have been waiting for so late, Your Majesty Please forgive ht said as he waved his hand generously

The time limit was imposed to make sure that Su Chen wouldn’t delay, and Su Chen had indeed stuck to the plan as best as he could The final delay had been out of his control - the Harpies knew this, as they had been closely observing what happened in the Abyss this entire tihtest in his handling of this matter, and the many years of silence had all been in preparation for that sudden show of strength There was no fault that Eternal Night could find, so he didn’t blaht almost tried to save Su Chen out of in in the way, there was nothing he could have done anyways

After some casual conversation, Su Chen pulled out an item “At least the expedition was a success I have Neptune’s Eye with reement”

The item Su Chen had taken out was naturally Neptune’s Eye

Neptune’s Eye was actually a deep blue crystal ball Its outer appearance seemed somewhat similar to that of an eye, and it possessed the innate ability to control the sea - hence the naate

In the depths of the ocean lived a unique kind of fish with an innate control of water They were known colloquially as Sons of the Deep, and only one of the lifespan, often nu in the hundreds or thousands of years They only had a single central bone in their body, and within the marrow of the bone flowed a crystalline liquid That simultaneously rock-like and liquid-like substance was the Deep Sea Agate

Because of how long a Son of the Deep lived and the fact that there were only one of theiven time, there had been no more than a hundred Sons of the Deep across the Primordial Continent’s hundred thousand years of history As such, the aate that could be collected was extree that it basically had to be a coate that had ever been harvested Then, countless individuals had worked on refining it As such, Neptune’s Eye was a one-of-a-kind item It would take another hundred thousand years to find another one

As Su Chen held Neptune’s Eye, a thin film of water seemed to form around him

His proficiency lay in wind, fire, and thunder techniques, but with the Neptune’s Eye in his hand, Su Chen’s water Arcana Techniques had grown much more powerful as well, to the point that they were no weaker than the other three kinds

Of course, he did not attack Instead, he sht sht saw Neptune’s Eye, he said with excitement, “That’s it!”

He reached out

In that htly

The shame that the Harpies had suffered for tens of thousands of years would finally be wiped away by his hands

Su Chen, however, retracted his hand, stowing the Neptune’s Eye once again

Eternal Night’s gaze constricted slightly “Sect Master Su, what is the htly “I’ve brought Neptune’s Eye with o and see Xianyao?”

Su Chen and Eternal Night’s agreeht would release Zhu Xianyao once Su Chen delivered the Neptune’s Eye and the Immortal’s Soul The exact details had not been settled

For instance, Su Chen could wait to deal with the Astrals first before giving Eternal Night the Neptune’s Eye

However, Su Chen had not done so In fact, he had voluntarily offered the Neptune’s Eye, even surprising Eternal Night

Once Su Chen had ht realized as happening

He squinted his eyes “You want to meet with Zhu Xianyao?”

Su Chen replied, “It’s been six years I at least need to see how she is doing, don’t I?”

Eternal Night frowned

Strictly speaking, Su Chen’s request was not excessive He hadn’t seen his second wife for six years, and it was only natural that he would hand over one of the required items for a chance to ht couldn’t shake the feeling that so

Perhaps because Neptune’s Eye was simply too rare

This treasure was impossible to put a price on Any person who obtained it would do anything to use it for a while longer, especially if no explicit conditions had been stipulated on its use If Eternal Night was in Su Chen’s position, he would definitely try and delay giving it over until he had obtained the Immortal Soul as well

At the very least, he would be able to use the Neptune’s Eye for himself for this period of time

However, Su Chen had chosen not to do so Instead, he had volunteered to hand over Neptune’s Eye, giving Eternal Night a sense of unease

This kind of feeling was entirely instinctual and had been honed by ruling a country forthat didn’t take a natural course

But suspicion couldn’t solve every problem
