Chapter 360: Glazed Stone

After everyone had gotten inside the living room, Seth and all those women else turned their attentions to Lan Xue, in order to hear what she had to say. However, with a single glance, Seth realized that she seemed troubled.

Lan Xue kept in silence, with her gaze fixed on him. It was like she was trying to tell him that she wanted to talk about the following matters in private, but at that time and place, it was just impossible for that to happen.

On the other hand, Seth had nothing to hide from the people present inside that room, so he swiftly used his “magic”, in order to convince her about telling them everything she had to.

“Don’t worry, they are my family; my beloved and trustworthy family members... So, there is no need for us to hide anything from them.”

After hearing those words, everyone that was present there, besides Lan Xue, felt elated. They were happy to hear from his mouth, that he really cared for them. As for the Twelfth Palace Master, after furrowing her eyebrows and thinking things through for a bit, she relaxed and decided to talk. What happened had already happened and if she were to get the help of someone as strong as the Elf Queen, it would certainly make things easier for her.

But before she said anything, Lan Xue stretched one of her arms, showing everyone her white and pristine hand, where there was a Glazed Stone. It was the stone that the Glazed Lake Goddess had given her before she left the sect.

Except for Serene, the others had already seen or at least heard about the famous Glazed Stone. It was a very unique and mysterious item that came from the Glazed Lake Sect. It could register images and even sounds, to be reproduced later and the only downside of using it, was that minor energy fluctuations would be released when someone infused their powers on the stone, while they were recording. That minor fluctuations on the environment energy would give them out if they were trying to record stealthily.

.....

Lan Xue knew that there would be no need for words if she showed them the contents recorded inside that stone, so without waiting any further, she infused a bit of her Mana inside of it and activated the display function. Very quickly, many different lights were projected out of that stone, illuminating the entire room and forming some different scenes on the air.

At first, there was only the image of a beautiful clear lake; the entrance of the Glazed Lake Sect. However, very quickly, the battle scene that had happened at that place, unfolded before the eyes of everyone.

They saw the Palace Masters and the Lake Mother fighting; the changes that happened to the lake, due to those purple pillars; the Palace Master and the Grand Elder acting and the entirety of that messy battle.

Everything seemed to be going well, till a totally purple entity suddenly appeared. When that individual showed up, everything changed and the most experienced ones, Seth and Arwen, immediately noticed the huge threat that entity posed.

Even through the Glazed Stone images, they could see and feel how powerful that purple woman was.

Shortly after she had appeared, Darya had come out to fight her and at that point, the scene that was being played completely changed. It surprised everyone with images of what had happened inside the sect territory. There was a second purple woman figure already invading their territory and the Palace Masters couldn’t stop her, even though they were exerting their full strength.

There seemed to be an overbearing torrential flux of Mana coming towards that purple woman, creating a very delicate situation. The people watching what had happened, including Seth, Arwen and Lan Xue, the three strongest cultivators present there, were very tense.

But just as things seemed to be reaching a climax, the scenes changed, showing them the interior of a very simple room.

Inside that room, there was only a youthful lady sleeping soundly; a person that Seth instantly recognized. That room was where Chun Meiyi stood and when he saw it, he immediately felt something bad.

Suddenly, another purple figure emerged inside that room. She looked at that young girl with a fixed gaze, analyzing her everything and every single thing. But just as she was about to step forward, a beautiful and mysterious voice echoed.

.

“So, you’re finally here...”

Inside that small room, that other individual, that was already waiting for the Illusive Ethereal Goddess arrival suddenly said. Impressively, the purple goddess hadn’t noticed her presence there, until she decided to speak those words.

The purple goddess didn’t panic, nor did she change her stance because of that. Her figure turned to face the white silhouette standing in the corner of the room and her purple eyes focused their full attention in that woman’s body. However, she did nothing more than that.

“I knew you would be coming... Is she really that important for you?”

“What does someone like you have to do with this? This plane isn’t a place that you should be and you shouldn’t bother with its weak inhabitants either.” The Illusive Ethereal Goddess replied.

“...” The Lake Goddess maintained her neutral stance.

.

.

.

“Answer me... Are you going to kill her once you get back?” The Lake Goddess posture seemed to be unwavering.

The Illusive Ethereal Goddess felt the overbearing pressure coming from the High Heavens and she looked into the Glazed Lake Goddess’ ocean eyes. They were crystal clear and unwavering, just like her stance.

“... No... I won’t kill her. However, she will stay forever locked inside my sanctuary.”

Immediately after hearing her words, the Lake Goddess let go of her aura and powers. At the outside world, everything abruptly returned back to normal. The pressure vanished and everyone felt a heavy weight being lifted off of their shoulders.

“Sigh... You can take her.”

The scene was played until the point Meiyi was successfully taken and by the time Lan Xue deactivated it. Seth was already as pale as a sheet of paper.
