Cultivating Through The Game-Chapter 736 - 385: Agreement

The three stood in the corner, Zhang Jingyang slightly turned his body to reveal the Core of Space-Time hidden within the Saint Armor.

Lu Yu looked at the pure white Core of Space-Time, about the size of a baby’s fist, and curiously asked the two, "How did you take it out?"

Su Peng gave a helpless smile and said, "I don’t know either. When we came down, the power of the Core of Space-Time completely disappeared."

Lu Yu, somewhat thoughtful, speculated, "Perhaps the disappearance of Celestial City’s time restrictions is related to the disappearance of the Core of Space-Time’s power."

Zhang Jingyang nodded and said, "It’s very possible."

"Alright, quickly put away the Core of Space-Time, don’t let others see it," Lu Yu said to Zhang Jingyang.

Zhang Jingyang glanced at him and said helplessly, "There’s no way to store it in the backpack."

"Hmm?" Lu Yu looked surprised, could the Core of Space-Time be alive?

According to the backpack’s rules, anything deemed as a "dead" object can be stored inside. The player’s backpack is far more advanced than a Storage Ring; many items that cannot be stored in a Storage Ring can be put into a backpack.

However, the backpack also has a disadvantage in that it cannot store items that have an owner.

The Storage Ring doesn’t have this disadvantage; as long as you have it in hand and can fit it into the Storage Ring, it’s possible. It won’t assess whether the item has an owner.

Zhang Jingyang was silent for a moment and speculated, "It could be that the characteristics of the Core of Space-Time and the backpack are in conflict, and thus cannot be mutually contained, so it can’t be put into the backpack."

After Lu Yu heard this, he could only nod and reluctantly accept Zhang Jingyang’s speculation.

Just as the three finished their conversation, someone walked towards them. Zhang Jingyang discreetly put away the Core of Space-Time, using the power of the Saint Armor to conceal any potential fluctuations from the Core.

"Holy Heir, Fourth Prince is looking for you," a Golden Feather Guard walked up to Lu Yu and said. At this moment, the identities of the two beside Lu Yu were unclear, and they didn’t have time to pursue this further.

The Golden Feather Guard stepped aside, and the Fourth Prince walked out from behind him. Having been in the Celestial Realm for over a decade, the Fourth Prince had grown and matured, with a tall stature, though his aura still appeared somewhat youthful, lacking the seasoned feel of enduring time’s hardships.

The Fourth Prince glanced at Su Peng and Zhang Jingyang beside Lu Yu, then looked at Lu Yu and asked, "Holy Heir Lu, do you think this place can keep out the bizarre evil entities outside?"

Lu Yu looked into the Fourth Prince’s eyes, and the Fourth Prince did not flinch. After a brief gaze, Lu Yu said, "We can’t keep them out, it’s only a matter of time before the evil entities get in."

"If you have a way to contact the Celestial Pavilion, you should do so soon. We have no way out."

After hearing Lu Yu’s words, the Fourth Prince was silent for a moment before saying, "I understand, I’ll do my best."

The Golden Feather Guard next to him was indifferent. Five years ago, the Fourth Prince had said the same thing, but no action had been seen from the Celestial Pavilion even after five years.

By now, everyone more or less knew that the princes had no way to contact the Celestial Pavilion outside.

However, everyone still held a sliver of hope that the Great Zhou Dynasty couldn’t possibly give up on the princes within the fragmented world, as they carried the bloodline of the Great Zhou royal family.

As long as the princes were alive, the royal family would surely try to save them by any means.

After the Fourth Prince left with his entourage, Lu Yu looked at Su Peng and Zhang Jingyang and softly asked, "Didn’t you have a plan to leave here? It’s better to prepare early, otherwise, I’m afraid we won’t be able to escape in time."

Su Peng and Zhang Jingyang exchanged a glance and said, "To get back, we first have to find Liu Yuan, otherwise we can’t return either."

"Liu Yuan?" Lu Yu, upon hearing this, pondered for a moment and said, "Is he someone sent in by the Liu family?"

Lu Yu had previously heard them mention a few hidden families by name: Lu, Su, Zhang, Chu, Liu, among others.

Since his surname is Liu, he is likely a descendant of the Liu family.

"Alright then, let’s split up and look around. Tell me what Liu Yuan looks like, and I’ll help you find him," Lu Yu said to Su Peng and Zhang Jingyang.

Su Peng took out a jade slip, and using Spiritual Power, etched Liu Yuan’s appearance into it, then handed it to Lu Yu.

Lu Yu glanced at it, committed Liu Yuan’s appearance to memory, crushed the jade slip in his hand, and said, "I’ll go in this direction; whether I find him or not, let’s meet back here in half an hour."

Su Peng nodded and said, "No problem, half an hour might even be too much."

The three split up, searching for any trace of Liu Yuan among the crowd.

Lu Yu walked through the crowd. People were leaning against the walls, some resting, some sitting cross-legged. They didn’t speak when they saw Lu Yu approaching.

He scanned the crowd, comparing the faces with Liu Yuan’s appearance in his mind, but saw no one who looked like Liu Yuan along the way.

Just as he was about to turn and head in the opposite direction, he heard a familiar voice transmitting to him.

Lu Yu turned towards the direction of the voice and saw the figure of Chu Tiange, who seemed to have grown a lot.

Chu Tiange saw Lu Yu approaching, pulled him behind a supporting pillar, and said to him softly, "If this place is breached, try to stay close to some of the princes. They have life-saving artifacts."

Lu Yu’s heart moved slightly, unexpected that he would still be concerned for him. He looked at him and said, "And you?"

Chu Tiange waved his hand and said, "I have my own way. Just remember this matter. Of course, you’re the Saint Heir of the Divine Weapon Pavilion, and they surely gave you life-saving artifacts too."

"But it’s still best to stay close to the princes. After all, when the Celestial Pavilion rescues us, they will first save the royal family. If you’re too far away, you might miss the opportunity to escape."
