Chapter 200

Autumn Water Palace.

Sea-Covering Cave.

On the surface of the stream, many mountain rocks were scattered.

Jiang Jian sat on a rock, and on his left wrist, the identity device flashed with a faint light.

Although his own identity device had been taken away.

Jiang Jian still had a spirit-monster identity device, which he had put into his storage space before receiving the replacement.

"In myths and legends, the Li Hai True Palace does indeed exist."

Jiang Jian opened the identity device, connected to the Chang'an Prefecture network, and looked up information.

If he were in a real Wonder Realm, the identity device would temporarily disconnect.

Because Wonder Realms could travel through dimensional spaces.

But the current Li Hai True Palace had its laws broken and reorganized, losing its Wonder Realm properties, and was merely a part of the dual-world realm.

The dual-world realm was located in Chang'an Prefecture.

Although it had realm walls, it was essentially still on the surface world.

Just like Shen Xi, Jiang Jian's spirit-monster identity device had no impact on its use here.

The holographic screen appeared, and the information on the Li Li Hai Long Gong was listed in detail.

"The Ming Dynasty mythological novel 'Chronicles of the Four Continents' mentioned it."

"Li Hai True Palace, sea area on the edge of the Northern Continent."

"As time passed, a flood dragon in the Li Hai transformed into a dragon, was decreed by the heavens, and was called the Li Hai Dragon Lord, ruling over billions of sea beings."

On the Chang'an Prefecture network, there was very little information about the Li Hai True Palace.

Even in Earth's mythological legends, the Li Hai True Palace was just a minor detail; if one didn't have a purpose and go specifically to look it up, no one would know of its existence.

Jiang Jian opened the entire "Chronicles of the Four Continents" and searched carefully.

Although these novels were false.

Ever since the year 2875, gods had been born.

Many Wonder Realms had appeared on the major planets of the solar system.

Under the immersion of divine aura.

Things that were originally false would penetrate the dimensional wall and eventually become real.

And on Earth, some mythological stories had turned into Wonder Realms.

For example, the Zhaoge Wonder Realm came from "Investiture of the Gods."

For example, the South Sea Wonder Realm came from "Journey to the West."

And for example, the Yinshan Wonder Realm came from the "Ksitigarbha Ten Wheel Sutra."

Suddenly.

Jiang Jian's gaze sharpened as he looked at a passage in the corner of the holographic screen that was not eye-catching at all.

"At the Golden Palace Heavenly Banquet, the Ten Sea Dragon Lords grazed the sea realm on behalf of heaven, working diligently, and were ranked in the middle seats, all receiving rewards from the heavens, each obtaining a willow branch."

Besides this.

Jiang Jian searched through the entire "Chronicles of the Four Continents" and could not find any more information about the Li Hai.

But the willow branch was mentioned many times in the story!

The protagonist of "Chronicles of the Four Continents" obtained a willow branch, dipped it in water, gave it a light flick, and could scatter beans to become soldiers, summoning one hundred thousand heavenly soldiers and generals!

"Willow branch."

The next second.

Jiang Jian swiped away the holographic screen and put away the identity device.

While cultivating, he pondered in his heart.

This treasure was bestowed by the heavens in the story.

According to Jiang Jian's speculation.

This item was highly likely to be the most top-tier treasure of the Li Li Hai Long Gong!

Holding the willow branch, scattering beans to become soldiers.

Although after being materialized.

Its true power could absolutely not compare to the mythological legends.

But as the most precious treasure of the Long Gong Wonder Realm.

Its spiritual item tier was at least a top-tier spiritual essence treasure!

The seven palaces of the Li Hai, the seven spiritual essence treasures, the information had already been made public.

But among them, there was no willow branch.

Jiang Jian speculated that it was highly likely that one had to ascend to the Dragon Lord's throne to obtain the willow branch.

While pondering.

Jiang Jian suppressed his thoughts and continued to cultivate.

The Sea-Covering Cave was a unique resource of the Autumn Water Palace.

Its location was special, connected to the Long Gong's water veins, and the water-element spiritual energy surged and rolled, rich to the extreme!

Jiang Jian had already taken the Autumn Water spiritual essence.

It contained a massive amount of spiritual energy, buried in the Spring acupoint, and it would take at least several dozen days to digest it completely.

A semi-transparent dragon shape circled around him, gathering the water-element spiritual energy into a vortex.

The water spirit stone was also held in Jiang Jian's hand, greatly enhancing his cultivation speed.

The spiritual resources of the Tenth Hall of Yinshan were mostly Yin-energy treasures, and using them had many restrictions.

But the resources of the Li Li Hai Long Gong were basically universal water-element spiritual energy.

Whether human, demon, ghost, or monster, any being could use them without any obstacles!

Jiang Jian, due to his terrifying foundation.

His Spring spiritual essence had been stagnant for a long time.

But at this moment.

Under the blessing of the Autumn Water Palace treasures.

His Spring acupoint finally had a change!

At the bottom of the acupoint, the thin, bright golden spiritual essence.

For the first time, it began to grow significantly!

Although its growth rate was very slow.

Compared to the previous situation where it didn't move at all, it was countless times stronger!

"I haven't experienced this feeling of smooth cultivation for a long time."

Feeling the Spring spiritual essence increase.

Jiang Jian's gaze was calm, but in his heart, emotion also surged.

In the following time.

Jiang Jian stayed in the Sea-Covering Cave, not eating or drinking, cultivating day and night!

She Yan had walked to the cave entrance many times, wanting to report some matters of the Autumn Water Palace.

But when it saw that Jiang Jian was focused on cultivation, not even sleeping or resting.

Hesitating, it retreated back.

More than twenty days passed.

Jiang Jian had not left the Sea-Covering Cave.

The ten great demon generals of the Autumn Water Palace were all shocked.

They were born here, and relying on the long-term effort of water-grinding, they had successively reached the Spring Realm.

But most beings would not deliberately cultivate.

After being appointed as demon generals by the Long Gong's laws, their daily lives were basically fighting, drinking, and enjoying themselves.

Beings like Jiang Jian, who cultivated bitterly with one heart.

They had never seen before.

"Palace Master."

She Yan came to the cave entrance again, and this time it did not hesitate, calling softly, "Palace Master Mingchan has sent an invitation."

Palace Master Mingchan, Shang Tianji.

In the Sea-Covering Cave, on the mountain rocks on the water, Jiang Jian opened his eyes, and the bright golden vortex in his pupils faded.

After more than twenty days of cultivation.

The Spring spiritual essence was no longer a thin layer.

But covered the bottom of the acupoint, golden light flowing, solid to the extreme!

Jiang Jian stood up, walked out of the cave, and asked, "What does he want?"

She Yan hurriedly moved aside, carefully following behind, saying, "The invitation didn't say, it just invites the Palace Master to attend a banquet."

Autumn Water Palace main hall.

Jiang Jian sat on the huge throne, and below were thirteen demon generals, arranged on both sides.

"Palace Master, I led troops out to sweep four times, capturing three demon generals and two hundred and thirty water soldiers."

Lang Cha had a tall figure, wore bright silver armor, and stepped forward respectfully.

The throne was very high, located above the jade steps, a full dozen meters high.

Jiang Jian lowered his gaze and looked down.

Besides the ten demon generals of the Autumn Water Palace, there were indeed three Spring Realm monsters, looking uneasy.

Although they wore demon general armor, they hid in the back, looking timid.

They were originally sea beings, living in the near waters of the Li Hai.

But ever since the Long Gong descended, its architectural territory had grown larger and larger.

The monsters and water spirits in the surrounding sea area had almost all been swept away.

These three Spring Realm monsters were captured by Lang Cha and brought back to the Autumn Water Palace.

"You few, why don't you greet the Palace Master yet!?"

Lang Cha turned his head, his gaze fierce.

The three demons' bodies trembled, and they hurriedly knelt on the ground: "Greetings, Autumn Water Palace Master!"

Lang Cha turned around, looked up at Jiang Jian, adjusted his expression, and said flatteringly: "Palace Master, you must use the Palace Master's seal to extract a wisp of their souls to truly appoint them as demon generals."

Jiang Jian nodded slightly, flipped his palm, and the Palace Master's seal appeared.

Injecting spiritual energy, he activated it directly.

Three rays of light flew out and entered the three demons' bodies respectively.

Boom!

The armor worn by the three monsters suddenly had a bright light!

The complex aura on their bodies was also cleared away.

Only their own racial attributes remained, pure to the extreme.

The three monsters noticed their strength increase, looked at each other, all looking ecstatic, and knelt down again toward the throne above!

"Thank you, Palace Master!"

"Many thanks, Palace Master!"

The other demon generals of the Autumn Water Palace said in unison: "Congratulations, Palace Master!"

Jiang Jian said softly: "She Yan, bestow one portion of water-vein spiritual energy; Lang Cha, bestow two portions of water-vein spiritual energy."

She Yan and Lang Cha's bodies shook, joy appearing on their faces, and they knelt down one after another: "Thank you, Palace Master!"

Jiang Jian ignored them, instead sitting on the throne, flipping through the invitation in his hand.

The signature on it was Palace Master Mingchan, Shang Tianji.

"Tomorrow at noon, I will host a banquet at the Carp-Watching Pavilion, inviting the Autumn Water Palace Master to chat."

Jiang Jian held the invitation, his face full of strangeness.

This awkward wording was definitely not Shang Tianji's tone.

Even any student of the Earth-Moon Academy would not use this phrasing.

Clearly, it was highly likely that Shang Tianji had only given oral instructions.

And the content of the invitation had been written by the demon generals of the Mingchan Palace on his behalf.

"Tell him I will attend the banquet on time tomorrow."

Jiang Jian put down the invitation and instructed She Yan.

She Yan climbed up, walked up the jade steps, and carefully took the invitation: "Yes."

Jiang Jian paused and said again: "Write the reply according to my exact words."

She Yan was stunned, subconsciously responding: "Yes!"

It had just been thinking about using its limited vocabulary to try its best to write a good reply.

Now that it had received the Palace Master's instructions, it didn't need to rack its brains, just copy it once.

Subsequently.

Jiang Jian assigned some tasks to the demon generals below.

Lang Cha received the order and took more demon generals and water soldiers out to sweep the sea area.

She Yan led the remaining demon generals to organize internal affairs and guard the Autumn Water Palace.

"Respectfully send off the Palace Master!"

The Autumn Water Palace demon generals knelt down, watching Jiang Jian enter the Sea-Covering Cave, all breathing a sigh of relief.

The aura Jiang Jian emitted inadvertently was extremely terrifying.

Making these Spring Realm demon generals tremble with fear.

Jiang Jian also held the Palace Master's seal, and their lives were all in his thoughts.

This made many demon generals inevitably feel fear when facing Jiang Jian.

Sea-Covering Cave.

"Shang Tianji looking for me should be about the spiritual essence treasure."

Jiang Jian, while cultivating, already had a guess in his heart.

Thinking of this.

He temporarily suppressed his thoughts and focused on cultivation.

Using the Autumn Water Palace resources to cultivate in the Sea-Covering Cave.

Was the fastest cultivation speed Jiang Jian had ever had since breaking into the Spring Realm!

Every minute and every second was precious.
