Chapter 279 Ch 279: Asna
Eric's breathing became a little hurried.
There was a pungent smell that seemed to be the smell of rotten fruits and flowers.
"Pt-ak!"
Eric snapped his fingers and a light ball of law condensed out of thin air that remained suspended in the air, and then, the surroundings suddenly brightened.
He saw all kinds of rare ores scattered on the ground. There were Dragon Blood Stone, Vast Sea Jade Stone, Star Gold Spar, and more. These were precious materials for refining weapons, and a little mixing can greatly increase the power of weapons. These materials are so rare that money could not buy them. They have no market price.
This was an incalculable wealth!
In addition, there were also hundreds of medicinal pills suspended sparsely half a meter from the ground. These medicinal pills are like stars, shining in place, emitting different colors of light. Judging from the texture on the surface of the pills, these were actually Void Grade Pills.
Although Eric didn't know the names of these medicinal pills and had no need for these pills since he was already a Peak Extreme Void Stage martial warrior, he could still sell them for at least one billion High Grade Spirit Stones.
This was yet another huge fortune.
It can be said that just these two types of treasures were enough to make anyone incredibly rich, so rich that anyone could completely match the accumulation of first-rate forces who gathered treasures for thousands of years.
Not to mention, there were also dozens of swords, spears, axes, and halberds on the stone pillar in the center of the space, all of which are at least Emperor rank weapons. There were even some Void-grade Weapons!
Eric just can't imagine how long it must have taken for those bandits to gather so many treasures. They must have been robbing people, killing them, and gathering these treasures for generations.
Other than weapons, treasure refining materials, and pills, there were also the uncountable amount of all grades of Spirit Stones.
Eric simply could not believe he has gotten his hands on such a large amount of treasures.
"This should be the secret vault of those bandits. It is no wonder such a magnificent curtain formed from a void-rank formation was protecting these treasures all this while. If not for the fact that I am already a peak Extreme Void Stage martial warrior, I wouldn't have been able to break that formation!"
"Anyway, now that I have exterminated those bandits, all these treasures are mine." Eric thought in his heart as a satisfactory smile bloomed on his face. He even thanked those dead bandits in his heart.
No matter what, he is rich now all because of those bandits.
Eric immediately started storing all the treasures in his spatial ring. He even threw away a few lower-grade treasures that were occupying the spatial ring's space and stored all the high-grade treasures first.
Even after that, a large number of treasures remained at this place.
Eric was determined to bring them all with him. So he flew up the mountain, arrived in front of the bandits' corpses, and took out the spatial rings from their fingers.
Then he jumped down into the hole again and started storing the treasures. After completely emptying the treasure vault, Eric kept those spatial rings inside his spatial ring.
After that, he once again observed this secret vault carefully to make sure that there are no more treasures left. And then, he flew out of the hole again.
Then he calmed his heart and looked in a certain direction, and muttered: " Master will bring Alex out soon. I should return to the sect and meet this distant brother of mine!"
As Eric muttered, he flew in the distance!
.....
Somewhere far from the Three Cultivation Land, there was a vast ocean. And at the exact center of this vast ocean, there was a huge floating island. This island was floating 100 meters high above the water's surface, but its triangular tail was still touching the water.
This floating island was huge. In fact, although this was an island, its land was even bigger than Middle Land. In fact, only the combined area of Middle Land and one more Cultivation Land could cover up this island's land.
There seemed to be a few empires living on this island. Far from those empires, there were huge mountains and rivers.
There was also a unique place on this island. This unique place was surrounded by nine tall mountains. In the middle of the nine tall mountains, there was a huge land of ice and snow. And in the center was a huge Ice Palace.
This Ice Palace was even bigger than the Profound Star Sect or any force that Alex has ever seen.
And currently, in a small garden inside the ice palace where all sorts of beautiful flowers were growing, increasing the density of Spirit Energy, a beautiful young lady was playing with a small white cat.
Suddenly, a few ladies entered the garden and stepped toward the beautiful young lady. The lady in lead was also very beautiful, at the same time, she had a domineering aura around her body.
But when the beautiful young lady looked at her, she frowned and stopped playing with the white cat. She have a secret look at the white cat, and the cat seemed to understand what the young lady was telling, and hurriedly ran away.
This beautiful lady in the lead had a facial features similar to the lady in the lead.
"Mom!"
When those ladies appeared in front of her, the beautiful young lady greeted the woman in the lead.
But although she greeted this woman with respect, hostility could still be seen in her eyes.
The woman seemed to know her daughter's hostility towards her, she sighed and spoke: "Asna, why are you like this? You should understand my helplessness as well!"
Asna kept quiet. She did not say anything. She did not even look at her mother, and just kept her head lowered.
Her mother smiled bitterly and said: "Asna, my dear, you know very well that our family will never accept your father. If I have really brought him here with you according to my promise, he would have been oppressed and bullied here constantly."
"Not to mention, your grandfather strictly forbid me from coming in contact with him."
"Tell me, what should I do then? Should I argue with your grandfather?" She stopped for a moment and then spoke again: "Just like how your father dotted on you and fulfilled your every request, my father has done the same for me. In my entire life, he never asked anything from me. The only thing he asked me was to never meet your father again."
"I can't refuse my father's first request. This is the only thing he asked me to do for him. I do love your father wholeheartedly, and this is also the reason why I never married again even though everyone in the family forced me. But your grandfather's wish is binding me. I can't do anything regarding this matter. I'm sorry I can't bring your father here!"
Asna finally raised her head. She knew everything very well from the start and even the helplessness of her mother. Her mother's family gave her too much love, so much that, although she could be rebellious, she can't be unfilial by denying her own father's wish!
Taking a deep breath, Asna said: "Then... Let me go to meet my father at least once. Alex should also be waiting for me. I came here without saying goodbye to him. He doesn't even know where I am or how I'm doing. I also don't know how he has been after I left!"
"I'll go, meet dad and Alex, and bring them with me. It will be I who'll bring them, not you. So grandfather can't blame you!"
Asna looked at her mother with hope in her eyes.
When she left, Alex has just risen slightly and gained some fame in the family. He was also called a genius in the White Family.
But after Asna came here, she come to know how large the world truly is, and how tiny the White Family of Jade City is!
Only then she understood the difference between herself and Alex. She knew she is destined to rise in the sky, and Alex is a person living on the ground. But her love for Alex never diminished. ƒr𝙚𝙚𝘸e𝚋𝐧૦ѵ𝒆𝒍.𝒄𝒐m
In her eyes, although Alex managed to enter the Floating Cloud Academy, he can never cultivate out of there. She is completely unaware of Alex's situation and thought according to what she had seen and witnessed before her leave!
But she was determined to bring Alex and her father here. At that time, with the resources of the family, both of their cultivation can easily rise high.
In fact, everyone in this family also loved her a lot. She was the pearl of the family's eyes. When she told her grandfather about Alex and that she will only marry him, although her grandfather was dissatisfied, he did promise her that as long as Alex's character is good, he will accept him!
