Chapter 342: Split Up and Move

Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations

When the passageway had stabilised, the compass landed in Feng Dong’s hands. He turned and passed the compass to Sima You Yue, saying, “Young Valley Master, the passageway has been opened.”

Sima You Yue received the compass, nodded at Feng Dong and flew into the passageway. Just as Feng Dong had said the passageway was rather unstable and as she was going through it she often felt as if it might just collapse on her.

Plop! Not long after Sima You Yue came out from the space and fell into the water

“Ey...”

Sima You Yue emerged from the waters and spat out the water that had entered her mouth. As she wiped her face, she thought about what had happened and her heart had some lingering fear. “I never thought that the passage way would be botched up at the end, but thankfully I’ve already exited, if not I would have been ripped to shreds.” She looked up at her surroundings and realised that she was in a small lake, and she swam towards its shores. As she got up from the shore and checked that there was no one around, she disappeared into her spirit pagoda.

All the people who were waiting for Sima You Yue in the spirit pagoda were shocked as they watched her enter, drenched by water. Did she fight with someone outside?

“You Yue, why are you so wet?” Sima You Lan asked, using his hand to cover his smile.

“I fell into the water while entering the Little Realm.” Sima You Yue said. “I’m going to change my clothes, then I’ll bring you guys out.”

She quickly changed out of her clothes and brought the group out of the spirit pagoda. The people who had come this time included Wei Zi Qi and a few others, her four brothers and four others besides Sima You Lin.

“This is the Little Realm? Looks the same as the outside!” Sima You Yang said, looking around, not noticing anything special.

“The aura is a little stronger.” Sima You Lin said.

“And here, vegetation lives a little longer.” Sima You Lan said. “And I can feel that there are treasures, there must be many of that here.”

“Sister, I feel it too! There are a lot of treasures here!” Little Tu said.

“These kinds of Little Realms are actually very similar to the Sima family lands. They are external spaces, but the land is fixed. These kinds of lands are versatile, and I heard that they move as time passes. But have one year to look for treasures here and to grow our powers.” Sima You Yue said.

“Only one year? What if we don’t leave after a year?” Sima You Yang asked.

“If we don’t leave then we will be stuck here forever.” Sima You Yue said. “And we don’t know when this world will open up again, and perhaps no one would be able to come here ever again. If you want to live like a vagabond in this place, it’s not impossible.”

Sima You Yang shivered, saying, “Forget it. I still prefer the outside world.”

“We can’t see much from here, let’s move in a direction, and see if we can find anything good.” Sima You Ran said.

“Alright. You Lan will be able to feel where the treasures might be anyway.” Sima You Yang said approvingly. Sima You Lan closed his eyes to feel, and said. “I’m not sure what there is in that direction, but the currents are stronger, I think whatever we will be able to find will be rather good!”

“Then let’s go to that place to look!” Sima You Yue called out Little Roc.

“There’s also something in this direction.” Sima You Lan said, pointing in another direction.

“It looks like there are treasures everywhere!” Sima You Le said.

“Since we have so many people, let’s split up and move!” Sima You Qing suggested.

“That’s fine too.” Sima You Lin agreed.

They had a total of fourteen people, and they could split cleanly into two teams to search for what they were looking for.

“That’s right, and we’re rather strong, if we meet with any natives we should not be at a disadvantage.” Sima You Yang said. “If we split up, maybe we will find even more treasures!”

Sima You Lan had some hesitations, “But, if we only have one year, and if in that time we are unable to meet, then will the rest have to be left here?”

“I have a plan.” Sima You Yue said as she took out two large jade stones, saying, “I took these precious items from my senior brother. If we drop blood on it, it will be able to tell us how far we are from each other. Let’s use this to help us find one another when that time comes.”

“Does this work?” Sima You Le asked.

“We’ll know if we try!” Sima You Yue said.

She dropped a single drop of blood on it, as well as a drop of Sima You Lin’s blood. As the blood drops were absorbed into the jade pieces, two red spots appeared on its surface.

“You Lin, move further out so that we can see if it works.” Sima You Yue said.

Sima You Lin nodded and few to a distance.

“There’s nothing.” Everyone looked at the jade stone in Sima You Yue’s hands and noted that the red spot had shown nothing, and doubted if this method would work.

“Hey, the red spot has moved!” Sima You Qing cried out suddenly.

Everyone looked over, and saw that indeed, the red dot was slowly moving towards a direction. Sima You Yue took out her mother stone, and connected to Sima You Lin to ask how far he had gone. He replied that he had flown a few tens of kilometres away.

“Tens of kilometres away is not that far, we will definitely be able to find one another.” Sima You Yue said.

“Then we can split up and move!” Sima You Qing said.

Very quickly, Sima You Lin returned, and everyone had already separated into their two groups. Sima You Yue took Beigong Tang, Wei Zi Qi, Ouyang Fei, Fatty Qu, Little Tu and Sima You Le in her team. While Sima You Qing, Sima You Lan, Sima You Yang, Sima You Ming, Sima You Qi and Sima You Lin were in the other team.

“Now that we’ve split, let’s get on our way.” Sima You Yue said. “I have given you all a mother stone, so you must communicate with one another. If you’re lost, you must contact the others.”

“Alright.”

Quickly, both teams had moved in the directions that Sima You Lan had previously pointed out. Sima You Yue’s team sat on Little Roc and flew to the mountains.

“It should be here.” Sima You Yue said. She patted Little Roc’s back, and Little Roc brought them down to the surface.

“Someone was here before.” Wei Zi Qi noticed. Sima You Yue followed his gaze, and noted that there was, indeed some footprints and marks of a passerby. And based on the freshness of the marks, it was clear that they had been here not long ago.

“Let’s go into the mountains to look too.” Sima You Yue said. Little Rock camouflaged to land on Sima You Yue’s shoulder, and the whole team entered the mountain.

They walked for a long time, and after they passed several mountains, Little Tu pulled on Sima You Yue’s clothes, saying, “Sister, there are treasures there.”

“You can feel out treasures too?” Fatty Qu was surprised.

Little Tu shook his head, saying, “I just smelled something really, really fragrant.”

“Let’s go take a look.” Sima You Yue said. They followed the direction that Little Tu pointed out, and indeed, they found a flower that had blossomed at the bottom of the mountain.

“Brother! There is a flower!” Before they had said anything, a hysterical voice cried out from behind them.
