Xuanhuan World: Guarding the Sword Pavilion! I Am the Protagonist Investor – Chapter 138

Treasury Secrets! Dragon Essence!

In the Dragon Palace Treasury passage, spiritual light surged, and killing intent permeated.

Xie Fei confronted a group of East Sea Rogue Cultivators.

At the same realm, it is rare for a Rogue Cultivator to defeat a cultivator from a Sect.

The reason lies in cultivation resources.

Sect cultivators are nourished by Spirit Stones, Profound Skills, Magical Treasures, Pills, Formations, and other cultivation resources, making their combat strength far surpass that of Rogue Cultivators.

Therefore, even if there are more than a dozen of them, they are not a worry.

Plus, at this moment.

Once they are in disarray, with their flaws exposed, it becomes even harder for them to contend with Xie Fei.

Xie Fei moved like lightning, his sword qi ringing.

Limitless Sword Qi transformed into a fierce storm, sweeping through the passage.

Swish swish swish…

In the blink of sword light, the Rogue Cultivators’ Spiritual Power Shields shattered one after another.

Magical Treasures wailed, unable to withstand its sharpness.

In a short moment.

All the Nascent Soul Rogue Cultivators fell, completely helpless.

Xie Fei’s gaze was cold, his spiritual sense swept, and he collected all the storage bags and treasures looted by the Rogue Cultivators.

Magical Treasures, Spirit Materials, and Spirit Grasses piled up like mountains, mostly looted within this passage.

“These Rogue Cultivators are greedy and depraved, murder and robbery are commonplace for them; today, I am acting on behalf of Heaven!”

Xie Fei did not linger, after concealing his aura, he continued to rush towards the depths of the passage.

But he hadn’t gone far.

A space fluctuation suddenly came from ahead.

Spiritual energy surged, and the void slightly twisted.

A familiar figure squeezed out from the passage wall!

Xie Fei looked closely, quite surprised: “Hmm? Zhou Hongxian!”

Zhou Hongxian steadied herself, her breath slightly disordered.

Upon seeing Xie Fei, a hint of joy flashed in her eyes: “Xie Fei, I finally found you!

“This Dragon Palace Treasury passage is very problematic, the restrictions are bizarre, do not attack or probe casually!

“A slight misstep will trigger space vibrations, randomly teleporting people elsewhere!”

Xie Fei’s gaze sharpened.

He looked her up and down.

He discovered that Zhou Hongxian’s aura had drastically changed, no longer at Golden Core Level Nine, but at Nascent Soul Level Two!

In a short time, her cultivation had broken through!

Moreover, her spiritual power was profound, with hints of Dragon Qi circulating.

He was surprised again: “You actually broke through?”

Zhou Hongxian nodded, solemnly saying: “This is exactly what I want to tell you!

“The Dragon Palace Treasury contains not only those who entered after this passage opened.

“There are also ancient beings who have lived for hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of years!

“This place is far more dangerous than imaginable; a slight misstep will lead to disaster!”

Xie Fei’s pupils constricted, his heart shocked: Tens of thousands of years old monsters?

If the Dragon Palace Treasury truly has such beings, how terrifying is their strength?

He said in a deep voice: “What do you mean? How could there be such ancient living beings in the Treasury?”

Zhou Hongxian’s gaze was profound, she transmitted her voice: “The Dragon Palace Treasury has existed since the birth of the Dragon Clan.

“The Dragon and Phoenix War began twelve thousand nine hundred and sixty years ago, coinciding with the ‘One Yuan’ number.

“In other words, the Dragon Palace Treasury has existed for at least one Yuanhui!”

“During the Dragon and Phoenix War, the Dragon Clan suffered heavy casualties, and the Treasury remained silent for ten thousand years.

“The different dimensions and restrictions within the passage are all closely related to the history of the Dragon Clan!”

Zhou Hongxian had clearly obtained some secrets about the Dragon Palace Treasury.

She continued: “And in the Dragon Palace Treasury, besides Dragon Pearls and other treasures, there is something extremely precious!

“I estimate that the Hundred Thousand Demon Mountains already know about this, but didn’t tell us.

“That is Dragon Essence!

“Dragon Essence is something condensed from the essence of a True Dragon; swallowing it is equivalent to receiving enlightenment.

“Both cultivation and power can be greatly increased!”

Hearing this, Xie Fei asked in surprise: “Did you consume a Dragon Essence?”

“That’s right!” Zhou Hongxian nodded, “In the different dimension where I was teleported, there happened to be the remains of a Dragon Corpse.

“I obtained a small Dragon Essence from it.

“Dragon Essence not only contains the essence of a True Dragon, but also often contains the memories of the True Dragon.

“In a sense, obtaining Dragon Essence is equivalent to obtaining the inheritance of a True Dragon.”

“So that’s it.” Xie Fei understood how Zhou Hongxian had broken through and how she knew about the Dragon Palace Treasury.

“Through the fragmented memories of that dragon, I discovered that the Dragon Palace Treasury was not originally a Dragon Clan possession.

“It was initially a piece of ruins drifting in a Space Storm.

“After being discovered by the Dragon Clan, they intercepted and dragged it to the East Sea, intending to use it as the Dragon Clan’s mausoleum.

“Therefore, countless Dragon Clan ancestors are buried here.

“These different dimensions, each one is actually transformed from a Dragon Corpse.

“The Dragon and Phoenix War resulted in heavy casualties for both clans.

“To preserve the bloodline, to preserve hope.

“At that time, the Dragon Lord transformed this Dragon Mausoleum into the Dragon Palace Treasury!”

If each different dimension is transformed from a Dragon Corpse.

Along the way, Xie Fei had already seen countless such places.

Zhou Hongxian continued: “More than fifty thousand years ago, a group of True Dragons found this place.

“After opening it, they prepared to retrieve the things belonging to the Dragon Pearls.

“But unexpectedly, a traitor infiltrated, not only killing the other dragons here but also opening a secret passage.

“The dragon whose memory I inherited is one of these True Dragons.”

That’s where the memory ends.

“So, the experts hidden in the Dragon Palace Treasury came in through that secret passage?”

Xie Fei fell into deep thought.

Zhou Hongxian nodded in response: “That’s right, that map was probably passed down in this way.

“In this Dragon Palace Treasury, there are not only infiltrating experts but also a type of being that is easy to encounter.”

“What?” Xie Fei was startled.

“Dragon Souls!”

Zhou Hongxian said: “After some powerful True Dragons die, their will remains, persisting here.

“If you encounter them, neither you nor I are of the Dragon Clan, so be extremely careful!”

Xie Fei thought for a moment and asked: “Since you obtained part of that dragon’s memories, do you have any information about the resources in the Dragon Palace Treasury?”

“Of course!” Zhou Hongxian said, “I came to find you to take you to Dragon City.

“There’s a place that will benefit both of us.

“With so many people entering this time, if we go late, that place may be taken by others.”

It turns out that the city inside is called Dragon City.

Speaking of which.

Zhou Hongxian suddenly punched the wall.

Under the impact of her power.

A strange suction force came over.

“Let’s go!”

Zhou Hongxian grabbed Xie Fei.

The two instantly disappeared into the passage.

When they reappeared.

They were already in a dark city.

The sky was gloomy, without a trace of light.

The only light source came from things resembling night pearls on some tall buildings.

Xie Fei surveyed his surroundings.

He found that Zhou Hongxian had brought him to a door.

“Every room here may contain a Small World.”

Zhou Hongxian pointed to the low house in front of them: “If no one has entered this room for tens of thousands of years.

“Then there should be two Dragon Essences inside!”

“Two!” Xie Fei quickly released his spiritual sense to probe.

But as soon as he got close, he was bounced back.

“It’s useless, the construction of these houses is the original material of the ruins that wandered through space.

“It can isolate the transmission of all power, including spiritual sense.”

Zhou Hongxian continued, offering her thoughts: “But I don’t think anything can isolate all power.

“It should be that we, or even the Dragon Clan of that era, didn’t have enough power to shake this mysterious material.”

Xie Fei asked: “Are there two Dragon Corpses inside?”

“Only one, the strongest True Dragon among those who later opened the Dragon Palace Treasury.”

Zhou Hongxian replied.

A True Dragon condensing two Dragon Essences shows its original strength.

At least so far, Xie Fei hasn’t found any Dragon Essence in Long Aotian’s body.

“Let’s go, let’s go in!”

Zhou Hongxian violently pushed open the door.

The two immediately stepped inside.

Then Xie Fei saw a different world.

It was a world filled with deathly silence, without a trace of vitality.

And in the center of this world.

A ball of extremely concentrated Death Qi twisted and boiled.

It seemed capable of swallowing all vitality.

Any being that enters will be completely reduced to death.

Xie Fei focused his observation and faintly heard an extremely strong death intent fluctuating.

Sensing this terrifying intent, his face changed slightly: “This thing is still alive?

“And its strength is extremely strong, I’m afraid it has already reached the Grotto-Heaven realm!

“Even if we join forces, we are no match for it!”

He rarely said such words.

Once said, it means that the opponent’s power is simply beyond reason and cannot be defeated.

“No! It’s already dead.”

Zhou Hongxian said: “This is the manifestation of that dragon’s unwilling will!

“Don’t worry, you know I cultivated the Five Elements Profound Skill.

“With my current cultivation, if I use it with all my might, I can transform death into life.

“Therefore, we don’t have to fear its death aura.”

Hearing this, Xie Fei felt a little relieved.

“But this boundless Death Qi, do you have a way to solve it?

“If I deal with this now, when I reach the center, facing that will, I’m afraid I won’t have much energy left.”

Zhou Hongxian asked.

“I can try.”

After thinking for a while, Xie Fei took out the Immortal Corpse Water.

Immortal Corpse Water is inherently a deathly substance, capable of corroding and killing all vitality, and swallowing and merging it.

Although it cannot deal with the will of the already dead True Dragon, absorbing this free-floating Death Qi should not be a problem.

“This is…”

Zhou Hongxian saw the Immortal Corpse Water for the first time, and was immediately shocked: “Something formed from the corpse of an Immortal!?

“Where did you get it?”

Xie Fei casually replied: “Accidental gain.”

As he spoke.

The Immortal Corpse Water had already begun to be released.

It was not much different from the estimate.

As soon as it appeared, the Immortal Corpse Water began to automatically absorb the free-floating Death Qi in this Small World.

In an instant.

Boundless Death Qi twisted and rotated, like countless black snakes swimming towards the Immortal Corpse Water.

After about half an hour.

Except for the mass of Death Qi in the center, which was as substantial as a physical object, there was nothing left outside.

After absorbing so much Death Qi.

The Immortal Corpse Water also changed.

It was no longer grayish, but a thick black.

“The might of your Immortal Corpse Water has decreased by at least 30%, I’m afraid that after a few more uses, it will no longer carry the Immortal’s pressure and will become an extremely yin and evil substance.”

Zhou Hongxian’s eyes were sharp, and she warned.

Xie Fei nodded: “I know, every time I use this thing, it’s like consuming it once.

“I guess I can use it about three more times at most.

“By then, this thing won’t have such great power.

“But since it’s been obtained, it naturally needs to be used; what’s the use of keeping it locked away?”

As he spoke, he put the blackened Immortal Corpse Water away.

Just then.

The Death Qi in the center of the world suddenly sensed something and abruptly awakened from its “slumber”.

“Who?!

“Who dares appear here?

“Who disturbed my long sleep?

“Traitor!!!

“It’s you!!!”

The Death Qi suddenly churned, and a majestic figure burst forth.

It was thousands of meters tall, in the shape of a dragon.

With one claw, it seemed as if the heavens and earth were encompassed within it.

This was the will of the fallen True Dragon!

In the Dragon Palace Treasury passage, spiritual light surged, and killing intent permeated.

Xie Fei confronted a group of East Sea Rogue Cultivators.

At the same realm, it is rare for a Rogue Cultivator to defeat a cultivator from a Sect.
