Chapter 48: Chapter 47: The Lady in Sky-Blue

 

After that incident, a week had already passed by. Shen was still inside the Absolute Realm. He had another day before he was forced out of the realm.

His leg, still not at optimum state but he can walk if he ignores the itchy feeling on his flesh. Thanks to the twenty drops of blood from the 10,000-Years-Old Violet Medicinal Turtle and Shen’s natural recovery, he was almost healed. Only his leg was in a miserable state. It was still by far better than the initial state where even his bone was visible.

“Sooo~ what’s the plan?” said Kaidi, her head on Shen’s chest. She stayed by Shen’s side the whole week, without her presence Shen’s mood would have been a lot gloomier.

“There’s quite a few. They are a bit miserable, but everything will be fine...” Shen stood still, his arms wrapped around her waist.

“I’m leaving with you,” Kaidi’s voice was determined. Willing to live and die with him, not like she can live if Shen died.

Shen knocked on her head, “I’m inside a trap. What will I do with you there? Once I reach a safe zone I’ll call you out, how about that?”

“I won’t hold you back...” she interrupted by Shen.

“Sheesh! What will you do if another life presence caused some hidden traps to trigger?” Shen persuaded her. Kaidi finally gave in. Surely, she won’t hold him back but what if her own presence caused the trial to become more difficult, she might not even have the chance to feel guilty.

Her cat ears drooped down, he tightened his hug, “Everything will be alright. I promised to go shopping with you, haha” his silly remark brought a smile on Kaidi’s face.

“I’ll go now. I’ll call you when I’m out of the trial ground.” Shen left her waist and jumped back.

On his back, there was an over-sized cauldron. It was the same Heavenly Genesis Cauldron but now its size was Shen’s double. Shen hopped inside the cauldron, as it disappeared from the Absolute Realm.

Kaidi turned back, there was nothing. The smile on her face was replaced with downcasted expression. Shen was not on his optimum state. From what she learned he was inside a very dangerous palace. She only wished for his survivable.

...

A head poked out of a cauldron. The expected heat from the fire, banging sound from a lump of metal and a twig piercing sound didn’t ring.

When Shen took his head out of the Cauldron, he was completely dumbstruck. He was not inside the trial ground but outside the perimeter. He was sure when he was sent flying, he was still inside the trial ground.

But clearly, right now, he was at the perimeter. Although it was something he should be happy about, he felt confused. He had no idea what law Absolute Realm used to send him inside the Realm and back to the main world, but did this place had such a function to change spatial locations?

He had no answer to these questions but right now, he had to find a way to get outside this secret realm. He stored the cauldron inside the realm and summoned Kaidi outside.

“Hmm~ so this the palace we are in? It’s not a palace though...” Kaidi looked around the Hall before saying.

“What do you mean?” Shen couldn’t help but raise his brow.

“We are definitely inside a treasure, the energy is really pure and the quantity is something I can’t even measure. But I can’t absorb seem to absorb it. Probably, it's currently ownerless.” Kaidi patiently explained.

“You are sure? We are really in a treasure?”

Kaidi nodded on his inquiry.

“In that case,” Shen took out a card from the realm. He was a little pained to use this card. For this was none other than Absolute Taming Card.

[Absolute Taming Card - can tame anything under or above the heaven (one-time use)]

This card was one of his trump card and something he wanted to use only when there was no alternative. Normally it would have been useless in this situation but it was an entirely different question when this palace was a treasure.

Absolute Taming Card's use was not limited to only living beings but taming something inanimate won’t result in anything great. On the other hand, it was a completely different topic if he forcefully tamed the palace aka treasure.

If he tamed the palace, in other word formed a contract with the treasure, then he could easily order the traps to disable or go outside. Not to mention he was gaining a huge palace for his sweet use.

His only pain was, this card, usable only for once. It was not upgradeable either... or so it was supposed to be but obviously, the current him could feel the card was upgradable!

Was he dreaming? The last time he took the card on his hand, he definitely sensed it was not upgradable. But why did the card became upgradable suddenly? ‘Could it be my previous thinking about items upgradability only related to its material was wrong? And it depended on my cultivation level?’

Shen didn’t find that explanation also satisfiable either. He could only push it to the back of his mind. Right now he had a bigger predicament in front of him which concerned his and Kaidi’s survival.

Gulping, Shen used Absolute Upgrade on the card.

The Absolute Upgrade Card released a deep chaos light before returning to its normal state. The upgrade was successful, but he couldn’t upgrade it anymore. Since he could feel the probability of the successful upgrade was unknown.

“Sooo~ You want to use the card? Will it succeed?” Kaidi was still checking out the hall, being mindful not to under the trial. Of course, she knew about this card as it was one of her pastime exploring everything inside the realm. Maybe she knew his collections even better than him.

“I’m confident, hehehe...” the description on the card brought a perverted smile on his face.

[Absolute Taming Card +1

can tame anything under or above the heaven (usable once every 1,000,000 years)]

Although the years looks hopeless, it still gave him some confidence. As long as the card didn’t disappear, as long as he can upgrade the card again. Even if its 50,000 years, with Absolute Realm it will become one of his trump cards.

Guiding his absolute qi in the card, Shen activated the card.

A chaos light flashed brilliantly, the whole hall was filled with chaos energy. As the light disappeared a small chaos color globe appeared in front of Shen.

In a second, hundreds of chains left the globe as they pierced through the walls. Unknown to Shen a giant hand appeared in the sky. If he witnessed, he would have been awed and recognize that it was the same hand depicted on the Taming Card.

Before the colossal hand, the Ancient City looked similar to another piece of decoration. The hand slowly faded away from its position as the globe before entered inside his body.

Shen felt an active connection with the whole Palace. This caused a smirk to appear on his face. It was not a complete loss. After deactivating the trap he will finally recuperate properly. He sighed in happiness.

“Deactive——”

“Here, I was wondering why the palace was reacting weirdly, now look what I have found. Something I never even dreamt of, the Inheritor of the Absoluteness.” Shen was interrupted by a sweet but mature voice, it was ethereal and dreamy. The voice contained profoundness, at the same time her surprise.

Right after Shen saw a woman come out of the space above the podium, in the middle of the hall. She stood on the air, similar to how one would stand on a sturdy platform.

She had a beauty beyond compare. Phoenix like eyes, straight nose, not too much fat on her cheeks, not too less either. Just the right amount. Thin rosy lips, creamy white skin. Her sky blue dress revealed her plump chest, which was enough to spill out from any man's hand.

Silver hair, long and bountiful, reached her ankles. Her waist thin which emphasized her plentiful hip. Her beautiful dress revealed her long slender legs. Girls and women alike would kill to have such beauty and figure.

A frown appeared on Shen’s face. Kaidi rushed to Shen as soon as she heard the voice. “You know about Absolute Strengthening Technique?” Shen said, storing the Absolute Taming Card inside the Realm.

“I don’t know much about the technique but I did know the person who created the technique. In fact, I had a very~ good relationship with him,” she emphasized the word very, as she continued, “In fact, this artifact is something created by him.”

Shen was surprised by her words. The one who created the Absolute Strengthening Technique! That means his illusory mentor actually existed. The techniques didn’t come out of nothingness.

“Then this palace is—”

“Hold your hope, kid. This place doesn’t contain his inheritance and the path you are seeing isn’t any trial. It was placed here so not just any person can enter the palace. Alas it seems, it was too difficult as every one of them failed to pass this simple path.” disappointment apparent on her voice.

Shen’s brow frowned deeper. Obviously, not happy at her calling him ‘kid’ which he indeed was.

“You said, you knew the person who created the technique. Who was he? What was your relation with him?...and how old are you?” Shen couldn’t hold it any longer, as he barraged her with questions.

A brilliant smiled bloomed on her face, “My my, that’s very rude of you, asking a lady’s age. In the first place, why do you think I will answer your questions...”

Shen had goosebumps from all over his body while her smile was extremely charming to look at, he could feel his death looming over his head. His body perspired as he gulped a mouthful of saliva. ‘She is dangerous.’ that goes without any doubt.

“I know you are curious and I have no problem to answer some of your questions. But for now, you will have to clear this path. Oh, the trap won’t deactivate even if you order it to. Cay, see you soon, love~” the mysterious lady disappeared as her sweet voice still lingered in the air.

“Snap out of it.” Kaidi pinched Shen’s waist, obviously dissatisfied how he looked tranced for a moment. She didn’t believe her beauty to fall any lower than that woman if not higher.

Shen sheepishly smiled. Looks like he couldn’t just bypass this trial after all.
