Jiang Yi and Qi Qingchen had ‘accidentally’ found a Demon-Killing Pearl. Both of them were beyond excited. There were many treasures inside the Demon-Killing Palace. There were even Primordial Spiritual Treasures in there.
How many Primordial Spiritual Treasures were there in such a big Earth Domain?
Three!
These three Primordial Spiritual Treasures were not attack- or defense-types. They were all support-type treasures. Take the Earth Emanations Sovereign’s Heaven Soul Clock for example. It sounded powerful, but all it did was boost his soul. This made his own soul spirit attacks much more powerful. Unfortunately, the Earth Emanations Sovereign’s soul spirit attacks were not that strong. That was why this thing did not do much to help him!
The Primordial Spiritual Treasures in the Demon-Killing Palace were different. It was said that there were more than three Primordial Spiritual Treasures in there. The Demon-Killing Sword was an attack-type weapon, and the Demon-Killing Armor was a defense-type. The Demon-Killing Palace was even more impressive. All things aside—if anyone could obtain just one of these three treasures, their combined combat ability would be greatly improved.
There were also millions of mystical abilities inside there. The Demon-Killing Supreme Thearch’s strongest suits were his mystical abilities and secret arts. Back then, when he chose to ascend to the Heaven Domain, he kept entering various ancient mystic realms, monuments, and relics in search of more ancient mystical abilities.
The person with the most mystical abilities in this world was definitely not one of those four remaining Supreme Thearchs; it was the Demon-Killing Supreme Thearch. Otherwise, he would not have been able to fight the top ten Netherworld Kings alone or killed five of them. At last, he battled for three days and three nights with the Netherworld Thearch. That was the cause of his fall.
When Qi Qingchen returned, she immediately sent a voice transmission to the Wintry Sovereign, asking him about the Demon-Killing Palace. In just twelve hours, the Wintry Sovereign replied. What’s more, he specially sent someone to deliver a hand-written letter on it!
“It really is in the Chaos Sea!”
After Qi Qingchen scanned through the book, she handed it over to Jiang Yi. Jiang Yi studied it in close detail, frowning.
According to the Wintry Sovereign, three months after the Demon-Killing Pearls appear, the Demon-Killing Palace would appear as well. It normally appeared in the Chaos Sea. Half a month before the palace appeared, the Demon-Killing Pearls would light up on their own and lead their owners to the Demon-Killing Palace!
Each Demon-Killing Pearl could allow three people to enter. The Wintry Sovereign did not want to take part in this so he asked the remaining two of them to make the decision.
However, he emphasized that the two of them should not let this news spread. What’s more, they had to go to the Demon-Killing Palace in secret. As much as they could tolerate, they should. If they could not tolerate or give way to others, they should forget about obtaining treasures, leave the Demon-Killing Palace, and return to the Earth Domain immediately!
This was because, throughout history, people who went to look for treasures always came from the Heaven Domain’s great family clans. They were all people with real power and status, and they could not be offended. Otherwise, the consequences would be dire!
The Heaven Domain’s aristocrats!
Jiang Yi frowned. This was what he was worried about. To young masters and young mistresses of the aristocrats of the Heaven Domain, they were both just piles of dung. It was just like how Earth Domain’s people would look down on ascendants. If both of them went in search of treasures, the young masters and young mistresses would think that they were trying to steal their food right from their mouths. Conflicts would easily arise. What’s more, Qi Qingchen was beautiful. If a young master from the Heaven Domain wanted her for himself, there would really be trouble.
“Jiang Yi, are you worried about the aristocrats?”
Qi Qingchen noticed Jiang Yi’s silence and asked. Jiang Yi nodded. Smiling slightly, she said, “Actually, you don’t have to worry at all. The Demon-Killing Palace is huge. The moment we enter, we might not meet a single person. What’s more, there are too many exits in the Demon-Killing Palace. We can easily escape. As long as we get out to the Chaos Sea, we would be safe for sure!”
“We’ll be safe in the Chaos Sea?” This confused Jiang Yi. He asked, “Why do you say that?”
“Hehe, you will understand when the time comes.”
Qi Qingchen did not explain much either. Instead, she furrowed her eyebrows. It was something else that was bothering her. “Jiang Yi, who do you think we can take with us? This person’s skills cannot be bad, and he or she must be reliable. It’s hard to find someone like that.”
Both Jiang Yi and Qi Qingchen were very powerful and skillful. Ordinary Titled Battle Gods—even people like Ren Tianfan—were unworthy to both of them. They would only accept King-Ranked martial artists. However, the Wintry Sovereign would not take part. Who could they take with them?
Jiang Yi fell silent. If the Little Eagle King was around, it would not be a bad idea to bring him along. However, the Little Eagle King had unfortunately been locked. Both of them could not possibly send a voice message to the Ink Feather Mystic Realm and ask the Green Eagle King to let Little Eagle King go, could they?
“Let’s cultivate and go out on missions for now. It’s still early. Half a month before the Demon-Killing Palace appears, the Demon-Killing Pearl will light up. When that time comes, then we can make our way to the Chaos Sea. If by then, we still haven’t found a suitable candidate, we don’t have to bring anyone with us.”
After pondering for a while, Qi Qingchen finally decided. Without a good candidate, they were better off not bringing anyone. Otherwise, they might get into trouble. If they brought a white-eyed wolf, they would both be cheated.
Jiang Yi thought about it and realized this was logical. Nobody knew when the Demon-Killing Palace would appear. Perhaps it would appear in half a month or in one or two months. For all they knew, the Little Eagle King would be out by then.
…
They did not go out on missions immediately. Instead, Jiang Yi chose to go into seclusion.
He continued to try realizing the Mighty God Technique and Quintessence. At the same time, he worked on strengthening his soul spirit. This time, he wanted to prioritize the Mighty God Technique. He had a Primitive Spiritual Treasure that ordinary people would not be able to destroy. If his physical body became stronger, even King-Ranked martial artists’ attacks would not kill him easily.
Once he became a Demon-Killing Battle God, Jiang Yi could cultivate the second level of the Mighty God Technique. However, this technique was too difficult. It was difficult just to improve by a little. This was even with the help of the divine tree’s leaf. Otherwise, he guessed that he would be training for tens of years, and even then, he was not sure if he would be able to achieve the second level.
If Jiang Yi could perfect the second stage of the Mighty God Technique, his body would become a thousand times stronger in a second.
That was a terrifying concept. That would mean his body would be comparable to Heavenly King Wu, the Wintry Sovereign, and the others. Then, together with his Primitive Spiritual Treasure, even ordinary King-Ranked martial artists would not be able to kill him.
Of course, this was the ideal situation. The reality was that Jiang Yi had been training for a long time, and he only achieved a little improvement in his Mighty God Technique. When he activated his Power of Heaven and Earth, his body would become a hundred and twenty times more powerful. That was too far from a thousand times.
Of course…
Jiang Yi recently kept using the hundred-thousand-times secret cultivation room to cultivate his heavenly powers. Together with the strengthening of his heavenly powers, his physical body strengthened as well. After activating his Power of Heaven and Earth, he would become even stronger. In the past, his body strength was comparable to Qi Qingchen’s. Now, after he activated his Power of Heaven and Earth, his body strength would surpass even Qi Qingchen!
He focused on cultivating and forgot the time. Later, he decided not to go out on missions anymore. Qi Yue came to look for him one, but he did not emerge. All he did was tell Qi Yue to get Qi Qingchen to inform him when time was up.
…
Buzz!
As he was cultivating, Jiang Yi got yanked back to reality by the flashing of the restrictions around the room. He undid the restrictions and used his divine senses to look outside. Then, his eyes widened. It was almost as if he had seen a ghost in the daytime.
Swish!
Once again, he used his divine senses to look around; and then he charged out of the secret cultivation room. Outside stood an ordinary-looking, middle-aged man. Filled with shock, Jiang Yi shouted, “Is it really you? Poison Spirit!”
The middle-aged man looked agitated as he knelt down on one knee and said, “Young Lord, I’m back!”
“That’s good, that’s good!”
Jiang Yi quickly helped the Poison Spirit up, and then nervously said, “Where are Yi Chan and the rest? Are they back, too?”
“No news yet…”
The Poison Spirit looked guilty as he said, “They’re still in Young Eagle Valley. Only I could break out of the restrictions. The Green Eagle King is in seclusion at the moment, and we can’t unlock the Young Eagle Valley. They can’t get out of there. The three young mistresses instructed me to tell you not to worry about them. They’re safe and sound in there.”
“Oh!”
Jiang Yi’s eyes filled with disappointment. The Phantom Race could break through restrictions so it was only natural that the Poison Spirit would be able to get out. He waved his hand and said, “Poison Spirit, go back to Fire Phoenix Army Camp and stay there. I have to continue to cultivate for a while. I’ve been working on an important thing. I will come out again in a few days.”
“Young Lord, you cannot cultivate anymore!”
The Poison Spirit shook his head and smiled. “Actually, I’ve returned for twelve days already. I’ve come here because the General said that the Demon-Killing Pearl lit up. We’re going to the Chaos Sea. That’s right, General told me that I can come along.”
