News Of The Dragon Palace Treasury!
The small gathering’s banquet dispersed.
Xie Fei then bid farewell to Liu Ying and the others, leaving the Inn of Everything alone.
As he was leaving, Ninth Shujun specifically winked, reminding him not to forget.
Xie Fei could only helplessly begin to prepare.
Tracking a Grotto-Heaven Realm expert is no small matter, especially the Ninth Yang, a Demon Clan Princess.
First, he opened a room in a small inn.
After having a temporary place to stay.
Xie Fei began to take out a piece of Spirit Jade from his System Space, spending half a day meticulously carving nine sets of close-fitting Formation Plates.
These Formation Plates were small and exquisite, containing mysterious formations that concealed aura, able to mask his aura to the greatest extent.
Next.
He used his full strength to operate the Aura Concealing Art in the Limitless Sword Classic, compressing his aura to near nothingness, even Spiritual Sense probes could hardly capture it.
After making these preparations.
Xie Fei stood on the inn’s roof, closing his eyes and releasing his Spiritual Sense, carefully searching for Ninth Yang’s tracks.
“With my Nascent Soul Fifth Grade cultivation, if Ninth Yang isn’t deliberately hiding, I should be able to find her aura…”
Hum!
Spiritual Sense spread like a tide, instantly covering the entire Huayang City.
Xie Fei carefully perceived every unusual fluctuation.
A moment later.
His gaze suddenly lit up.
In an Old District on the west side of Huayang City, he captured a familiar and powerful aura.
It was Ninth Yang!
Xie Fei’s figure flashed.
Transforming into a shadow, he silently swept towards the target location.
But when he arrived, Xie Fei couldn’t help but be startled.
Before him was an ancient and simple old residential area, the streets narrow, the bluestone roads showing traces of time.
Most of the residents around here were elderly people native to Huayang City.
Most of these elderly people had never left this place in their entire lives.
From time to time, the sounds of chatting and children playing came from the streets and alleys, filled with the everyday life of people.
Xie Fei hid in mid-air, looking from afar, just in time to see Ninth Yang’s figure appear on the street corner.
She had a gentle smile on her face, and greeted the elderly neighbors passing by warmly.
Several elderly people with white hair, seeing her, showed familiar smiles, calling her “Miss Yang”.
Some even enthusiastically handed her freshly picked fruit.
Ninth Yang smiled and accepted.
After exchanging a few greetings, she opened the wooden door of a small courtyard and went inside.
“She actually lives here?”
Xie Fei frowned slightly, his heart filled with doubt.
Ninth Yang, as a Grotto-Heaven Realm expert, possessed a noble demeanor, how could she be living in seclusion in such an ordinary old residential area?
Judging from her familiarity with the neighbors, she had clearly lived here for quite some time.
This was quite different from what he had imagined.
Seeing Ninth Yang close the courtyard door.
Xie Fei’s figure flashed, quietly leaping into the courtyard, landing on an Osmanthus Tree in the courtyard.
His Aura Concealing Art was running to its extreme, his aura almost non-existent, not even disturbing the wind.
However.
As soon as he entered the courtyard.
The door creaked open.
“Fellow Daoist Xie, why are you following me?”
Ninth Yang’s voice was crisp and playful, with a hint of charm.
She leaned against the doorframe, her eyes sparkling, smiling sweetly at Xie Fei on the Osmanthus Tree.
Xie Fei’s heart trembled, secretly thinking: Such strong Perception!
Logically speaking, he had made so many preparations, Ninth Yang shouldn’t have been able to discover him.
Where did the problem lie?
But since he had already been exposed.
He also simply stopped hiding and landed on the ground.
“You know me?”
Xie Fei asked in surprise.
From beginning to end, he had never revealed his name to this Ninth Yang.
So how did she know his surname was Xie?
Ninth Yang chuckled lightly, stepping aside to make way at the doorway, her posture elegant: “It’s not exactly that I know you.
“My younger sister sent a message home, mentioning you.
“Fellow Daoist Xie, please come in, let’s talk inside.”
Xie Fei’s gaze slightly solidified, somewhat hesitant.
But secretly he used the Fate Golden Eyes.
…
【Name: Ninth Yang】
【Gender: Female】
【Lifespan: 995/8888】
【Realm: Grotto-Heaven Third Grade!】
【Fate Aura: Purple!】
【Purple Genius Fate…】
【Recent Needs: As the Grand Princess of the Demon Clan, shouldering the life and death of the Demon Clan, wanting to find a place for her clan members to survive.】
…
An old demoness nearly a thousand years old?
And such a grand investment need?
Xie Fei’s heart tightened, but his expression remained unchanged.
“What? Don’t you dare enter this young woman’s boudoir?”
Seeing his hesitation, Ninth Yang covered her mouth and chuckled, charming and alluring.
Xie Fei cleared his throat and stepped into the house: “Senior Ninth, how did Shujun mention me?”
As he spoke, he discreetly sized up the interior.
The room was simply but elegantly furnished, three rooms plus a main hall.
In the main hall, there was a wooden table, several bamboo chairs, and some mundane books piled in the corner.
In the two interconnected side rooms, various flowers and plants were placed, a riot of color, blooming luxuriantly.
Obviously, these flowers and plants had been carefully cared for.
The last closed door should be Ninth Yang’s bedroom.
The entire courtyard had a fresh atmosphere, with no trace of a second person living there, exuding a quiet seclusion.
Ninth Yang casually brewed a pot of ordinary clear tea and handed Xie Fei a cup.
Her tone was relaxed, as if ordinary people were chatting: “My younger sister sent a message home, saying that she wanted to introduce a friend to us, highly recommending him.
“As it happens, I was coming to Huayang City, so I came to see if the person she mentioned is really as good as she said.”
Xie Fei took the teacup and probed: “Then before…
“Why did Senior fall from the Void and collide with me?”
Ninth Yang smiled upon hearing this.
Then she spoke frankly: “To tell you the truth.
“At first, I wanted to see what kind of person my younger sister’s friend was.
“But unexpectedly, you actually have… a Dragon’s aura!”
“Dragon’s aura?” Xie Fei’s pupils constricted, his heart trembling.
He wasn’t in his True Dragon Avatar state now, how did she see it?
“Fellow Daoist Xie, could you really be from the Dragon Clan?” Ninth Yang covered her mouth and smiled, her tone half-true and half-false.
Xie Fei’s mind raced, and he smiled: “Senior is joking, I’m just a Human Race cultivator, where would I have Dragon Clan bloodline?
“Perhaps it’s because I cultivated a certain Cultivation Method, and have been tainted with a little Dragon Qi.”
While saying this, he secretly pondered.
Xie Fei thought of the Dragon Scale left by the Demon Lord.
That Dragon Scale contained a trace of True Dragon aura, and it was very likely the source of the “Dragon Qi” that Ninth Yang sensed.
And his True Dragon Avatar had long been hidden in the Everflow Sword Sect.
It’s impossible to sense the aura of the True Dragon Avatar.
“Senior Ninth, between you and your sister…
“Is there some misunderstanding?”
Xie Fei didn’t dwell on the topic of “Dragon,” with a mysterious force suspected to be the “Phoenix Clan” watching, it’s better to keep a low profile.
“Want to know?”
Ninth Yang winked, smiling sweetly: “If you want to know, do me a favor, how about it?”
“Tell me.”
Xie Fei didn’t refuse immediately.
“Help me abduct Ninth Shujun.”
Xie Fei: …
Xie Fei froze, looking at her incredulously.
Kidnap his younger sister?
What kind of favor is this?
He frowned: “Senior Ninth, I can’t help with this favor, I’m afraid I can’t comply.”
“Pfft!”
Ninth Yang covered her mouth and chuckled, her eyes full of teasing: “I was just kidding, look what you’ve done.”
Before her laughter subsided.
Her expression suddenly turned serious, her temperament shifting from charming to solemn, revealing the majesty of a superior.
“Actually, I want to invite you to a place.”
“Where?” Xie Fei’s heart stirred.
This Demon Clan Grand Princess’s thoughts were far more complex than they appeared.
Ninth Yang’s gaze locked onto him, her tone calm but with a hint of meaning: “The Dragon Palace Treasury, have you ever heard of it?”
“The Dragon Palace Treasury…”
Xie Fei’s eyes widened, his mind tightened.
This name was not the first time he had heard it.
In Yinshan, the Demon Lord had mentioned this place, calling it one of the most mysterious places in the Mystic Continent, hiding countless Dragon Clan Supreme Treasures.
He remained calm and probed: “I’ve heard a little about it.
“What do you mean, Senior?”
Ninth Yang noticed the strangeness in his eyes, smiled slightly, and continued: “As early as two hundred years ago, the Hundred Thousand Demon Mountains discovered the exit to the Dragon Palace Treasury.
“However, opening the treasury requires True Dragon aura as a key.
“But on the Mystic Continent, True Dragons have long since disappeared, so we had to seal the exit again, desperately searching for Dragon Clan relics.”
She paused, looking at Xie Fei with deep eyes: “For two hundred years, we have found nothing, until this time.
“I sensed the Dragon Qi on you on my way to the Everflow Sword Sect, although weak, it is genuine!”
Xie Fei’s mind raced, but his expression remained unchanged: “Senior wants me to help you open the Dragon Palace Treasury?”
“Exactly.”
Ninth Yang nodded, her tone serious: “The Dragon Palace Treasury contains countless treasures, but the Hundred Thousand Demon Mountains only want one thing!
“The Myriad Demons Blood.”
“The Myriad Demons Blood?” Xie Fei’s pupils constricted, and he was greatly surprised.
He suddenly remembered that the System had once given a rebate for a special item.
—The Myriad Demons Illustrated Manual!
According to the System’s annotation.
If the Myriad Demons Illustrated Manual is paired with the Myriad Demons Blood, it can open the legendary Demon Realm!
Could it be that the Demon Clan Grand Princess Ninth Yang’s goal is the Demon Realm?
Recalling the “finding a place for the Demon Clan to survive” need displayed by the Fate Golden Eyes, Xie Fei suddenly understood.
The Demon Realm.
Legend says it is the paradise of the Demon Clan!
Spiritual Energy is abundant, Laws are gentle, the Demon Clan living there live carefree lives, far from the conflicts of humans and demons.
Ninth Yang, as the Demon Clan Grand Princess, her actions are likely to be seeking a real foothold for the Hundred Thousand Demon Mountains.
“You want the Myriad Demons Blood to revive the Demon Clan?” Xie Fei asked tentatively, his tone somewhat probing.
Ninth Yang said calmly: “The Myriad Demons Blood is of great significance to the Hundred Thousand Demon Mountains, but the specific use, I cannot disclose for now.
“I can promise you that all the treasures in the treasury except the Myriad Demons Blood will be yours.
“Including that Dragon Pearl!
“That Dragon Pearl should be extremely useful to you.
“You possess Dragon Qi, even if you are not from the Dragon Clan, you should have something from the Dragon Clan.
“With the Dragon Pearl, maybe you can create a True Dragon.”
“Dragon Pearl?” Xie Fei’s mind stirred, but his expression remained unchanged.
The Dragon Pearl is a Dragon Clan Supreme Treasure, if he can obtain it, it will definitely greatly purify the bloodline of his True Dragon Avatar.
If he can make the True Dragon Avatar revert to its ancestral form, then this trump card will definitely become a killer move!
“And if I can really create a dragon, I wonder if my Supreme Void Demon Subduing Divine Chapter can control the dragon?”
He suppressed his thoughts and looked up at Ninth Yang, asking in a deep voice: “Where exactly is the Dragon Palace Treasury located?”
Ninth Yang glanced at him, a playful glint in her eyes, and smiled: “Fellow Daoist Xie, what’s the rush?
“I can’t tell you such a secret now.
“I can only reveal that the treasury is located in the depths of the East Sea.”
“East Sea?” Xie Fei frowned and fell into thought.
The East Sea is the most vast ocean outside the Mystic Continent, legend says that the water of the four seas originates from it.
It is boundless and unfathomable.
More troublesome is.
Tens of thousands of years ago, the Dragon and Phoenix War swept across the East Sea, and the flames of war almost destroyed the world.
As a result, the space-time in that area is extremely unstable, and spatial rifts and alien passages frequently appear.
There are even rumors that cultivators have witnessed an “island of demonic creatures” in the East Sea, filled with strangeness and danger.
For many cultivators, the East Sea is a veritable Forbidden Area, and they will never set foot there unless necessary.
“When are we leaving?”
Xie Fei asked in a deep voice.
Without the exact location of the Dragon Palace Treasury, it would be like searching for a needle in a haystack.
Then he definitely wouldn’t go.
But since the Hundred Thousand Demon Mountains have already found the place, and only need him to “open the door”.
Then this trip is worth taking.
“The sooner the better.”
Ninth Yang said solemnly: “After your Everflow Sword Sect’s Southern Border Joint Aid Assembly ends, we will set off immediately.
“In these few days, you can prepare well.
“However, I cannot travel with you on the way to the East Sea.
“The Hundred Thousand Demon Mountains are too high-profile, and many forces are watching me, if I appear, it might attract unnecessary trouble.”
Xie Fei understood and pondered: “Then where should I look for you then?”
“Hundred Thousand Demon Mountains, just state my name.”
Ninth Yang’s tone was calm: “I will appear then.”
Xie Fei clasped his hands: “Good, see you then.”
The two had made their agreement, Xie Fei didn’t stay long and rose to leave.
…
A few days later.
The “Everflow Sword Cry ━ Southern Border Joint Aid Assembly” was held as scheduled, with unprecedented grandeur.
The Everflow Sword Sect was everywhere decorated with lights and festoons, Spirit Cranes flying, celestial music floating.
Cultivators from major Sects in the Southern Border gathered together, drinking and feasting, chatting and laughing.
Sect Master Wu Yang smiled happily, personally receiving guests from all sides, but secretly busy discussing “borrowing” Spirit Stones with “friendly forces”.
Just as Xie Fei had expected.
The real purpose of this Joint Aid Assembly was to take the opportunity to raise Spirit Stones.
The Joint Aid Assembly lasted seven days and seven nights, with singing and dancing, lively and bustling.
During this time.
Xie Fei kept a low profile, occasionally exchanging greetings with a few Elders, spending more time preparing for his trip to the East Sea.
Seven days later.
The guests dispersed, the Everflow Sword Sect was still immersed in the lingering charm of the banquet, the air filled with the aroma of wine and the sweetness of Spirit Fruit.
At this time.
Deep within the Sword Burial.
A place where boundless Sword Qi raged.
Beside the Sword Cleansing Pool, the water shimmered, like a mirror.
Guo Feng, known as the “First Sword of the Sword Burial,” sat cross-legged, closing his eyes and adjusting his breath.
Only his Sword Intent was circulating around him, faintly resonating with the Sword Qi of the Sword Cleansing Pool.
“Feng Jian, why do you think I keep failing to break through the Sword Dao Realm?”
Guo Feng didn’t open his eyes, his voice low and slightly resentful.
Hearing this, Feng Jian standing beside him sighed, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes.
Since the Southern Border had consecutively appeared two experts whose Sword Dao Realm surpassed Guo Feng, Guo Feng had been obsessed, repeatedly trying to break through the Sword Dao bottleneck.
But he had never succeeded.
Feng Jian couldn’t help but persuade: “Elder Shi once said that if you insist on breaking through the Sword Dao Realm, you might as well go to the East Sea.
“There are still ancient lingering charms of the Dragon and Phoenix War there, which can help you temper your Sword Heart and refine your Sword Intent.”
Guo Feng snorted coldly upon hearing this, opening his eyes, his gaze like a sword: “Relying on the lingering charms of the East Sea, what’s the difference from relying on external objects?
“My Guo Feng’s Sword Dao must be comprehended by myself, I will never rely on others!”
Here we go again…
Feng Jian shook his head helplessly: “How can this be considered an external object?
“The lingering charms of the East Sea War are merely whetstones for sharpening swords, it doesn’t directly grant you cultivation…”
Guo Feng had used these words to shut him up several times before.
Therefore, before coming this time, Feng Jian had prepared a basket of persuasive words, trying to get Guo Feng to let go of his obsession.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he spoke, Guo Feng suddenly stood up.
“You are right!”
Guo Feng waved his robe sleeves and walked towards the outside of the Sword Burial: “I’m going to the East Sea!”
Feng Jian: …
Feng Jian stood there dumbfounded, only reacting after a while.
“No! He wanted to go to the East Sea a long time ago, right?
“He was just waiting for me to give him a reason?”
In response to him.
Was the Sword Qi of the zither and the boisterous wind.
