Yet once Yue Chenyuan stood beside Qin Yan, she found herself at a loss for words.
She could not help it. The blow had shaken her.
From the moment she set foot on the path of cultivation, she had shown an extraordinary talent for darkness. She had been invincible against her peers at every step, never suffering a single defeat.
The supreme elders of the Darkness Temple had even personally chosen her as a candidate for the next Divine Maiden, believing she might reach the realm of True Emperor within a thousand years.
But today, faced with someone her own age who also cultivated the Darkness Dao and had also forged a ninety-nine-zhang Golden Body, she had surrendered without even the courage to exchange blows.
For someone as proud as she was, it was a crushing blow.
"Holy Maiden Yue, was there something else? If not, I'll be on my way."
Qin Yan's voice was calm.
He had agreed to spar with Yue Chenyuan because he wanted to test just how powerful his Dark Emperor Golden Body had become after the Heaven and Earth Baptism.
But she had surrendered before taking even a single move. The prospect had lost much of its appeal.
"Qin Yan, I found some ruins. Are you interested?"
Yue Chenyuan called out to stop him.
Qin Yan halted just as he was about to leave.
He turned to look at Yue Chenyuan, scrutiny and suspicion flashing in his eyes. "Holy Maiden Yue, you found ruins, and you're kind enough to tell me?"
None of the ruins in the Sea of Time were ordinary.
Any one of them might hold ancient treasures left behind by the Space-Time Era, or the complete Inheritance of a fallen True Emperor.
He did not believe Yue Chenyuan would be generous enough
