Chapter 1846

The devouring was completed, and the blood curse of the dead kun vanished.

The corrupt qi attached to Ao Zhong's body dissipated, the oppression throughout the Blackwater Dragon Palace decreased by more than ninety percent, the remaining residual aura would soon dissipate, Chen Chuyang let out a satisfied burp, he was full, his Hunyuan true qi rose greatly, nearing perfection.

This time, it filled most of his body's true qi, letting his dantian fill with a lot of true qi; that true qi looked terrifying, but those details don't matter—what matters is that Chen Chuyang felt the rise of his Hunyuan true qi, which had increased greatly compared to before.

The density and power of his true qi both increased; moreover, it became more facile to use, his mastery over power grew more proficient, the Hunyuan Dao Scripture will soon have a breakthrough; Chen Chuyang has a premonition that another breakthrough will bring his strength a terrifying advancement.

The advancement of the mid-stage seventh layer of the Hunyuan Dao Scripture takes some time; the required energy is enormous, relying on cultivation to fill it is difficult, Chen Chuyang knows this well, so he entered the Blackwater Dragon Palace—as expected, this place has good things that let his true qi fill a large part.

The little carp following by his side indeed brings him benefits; each time he brings the little carp, there are unexpected benefits, and he hasn't even met the true master yet—the real master of the Blackwater Dragon Palace is not Ao Zhong, but the one below.

Ao Zhong's sister, the princess of the Blackwater Dragon Palace, the true master of the Blackwater Dragon Palace, and the strongest existence in this place.

"Master, how are you?" the little carp asked anxiously.

Heishanyang followed up, utterly disdainful of the little carp's flattery, and quickly said, "Kid, have you devoured all that corrupt qi?"

"Yeah, the taste is not bad, it's a pity—there's a bit lacking; if there were a bit more, I could fill my body," Chen Chuyang said with some regret.

Heishanyang: "……"

The little carp excitedly said, "Master is mighty, master is the strongest."

Heishanyang became even more speechless; this little girl doesn't know the terror of that corrupt qi, she just knows to shout from the sidelines, giving emotional value its fill, while I, the one who truly cares for Chen Chuyang, have been outdone.

And he cannot do what the little carp does; it's truly impossible for him, and he finds it disgusting.

Chen Chuyang watched this and thought letting them fight each other internally would be great—it could enhance their feelings, let them boost each other, increase their mutual struggle; without competition, there is no pressure.

"No need for many words, my master has many impressive traits; this is nothing." Chen Chuyang waved his hand, accepting the emotional value the little carp provided.

Heishanyang was utterly speechless; isn't this kid not buying this act? Turns out he's not buying my act, but buying the little carp's act—is it just because the little carp is a woman and I'm a man?

Besides, the little carp is increasingly showing the makings of a beauty; give her a few more years and she'll definitely be a great beauty.

She is even more beautiful than the women around Chen Chuyang, but that's not the point; the point is that this little girl can bring people luck, which is incredibly formidable, something no one can refuse.

Luck, in the later stages, is very important; any action is related to luck.

With a bit more luck, one will encounter fortunate events instead of constant misfortune.

"Master is the strongest." the little carp continued to provide emotional value.

Heishanyang's mouth corners were about to twitch badly; he really wanted to lash out and hit someone.

Chen Chuyang was quite happy to see all this; he waved at Heishanyang and said, "Let's go, let's go down to meet the master of the Blackwater Dragon Palace."

Ao Zhong's corpse was taken away; even though it was hollowed out, it's still a corpse and retains some function.

His dragon scales and dragon skin are extremely valuable; moreover, the bones cleared of corrupt qi also have great use—they can be used to forge artifacts and refine pills, for a true dragon's corpse is extremely valuable.

Heishanyang wanted to eat it, thought about it, and regretted.

He dares not eat it, for the true dragon's corpse harbors terrifying corrupt qi; if even a trace remains, he could die.

With Ao Zhong's obstruction gone, this place no longer holds any secrets; an entrance below appeared, and Chen Chuyang led the people down, step by step into the interior, passing through one layer of space before entering another.

The layout is extremely mysterious; within the space, space is hidden.

They arrived inside another space and saw a coffin.

That coffin hovered in midair, its surroundings fixed by spatial power.

The coffin was of white jade color, appearing unremarkable; such a coffin in the cultivation world is not considered a supreme treasure.

At least, compared to the Black Wood Coffin Chen Chuyang has seen, it is far inferior; the two are not on the same level.

Heishanyang and the little carp also stared at that coffin; the little carp's gaze fell into contemplation, as if entering some memory, she seemed dazed and bewildered, the little carp stood in place, silent, her aura becoming turbulent.

Chen Chuyang turned his head, looking at the little carp; her state was not right, very not right.

They have a contract; Chen Chuyang can sense everything the little carp thinks inside, and also feel her emotional changes—confusion, surprise, then contemplation, various emotions emerging, which had never happened before.

You should know, the little carp is very pure; she wouldn't show so many emotions, nor so many memories.

Never before has this happened; Chen Chuyang didn't directly check her emotions, guessing she sensed something and thus awakened memories?

"Kid, the little carp is not right."

"This white jade coffin is also not right; inside lies a buried woman."

"Is there some connection between them, or did the little carp sense something, thus falling into this special state?" Heishanyang looked back and forth between the little carp and the white jade coffin, inside which lay a person.

A very beautiful woman lay in the middle, her body pallid and bloodless, the whole person appearing pallid.

Part of that white jade coffin had turned black, sealing most of the corrupt qi, while the woman inside was still alive but without breath, fallen into some special state.

Heishanyang dared not move, as everything around told him it was dangerous, a very dangerous place.

The woman inside is also dangerous, very dangerous.

"Kid, don't move recklessly; that woman is not simple—although she is asleep, I feel she is watching us." Heishanyang sent a mental reminder to Chen Chuyang, urging him to stay cautious and not act rashly.

"I know." Chen Chuyang didn't move, but instead looked at the little carp.

The little carp's appearance is strange; he won't act rashly, and even if he wanted to do something, he'd wait until she wakes up before acting.

The existence inside the white jade coffin also showed no movement, as if it too were observing them, waiting for their next move.

They faced each other off, having fallen into a certain special state of standoff.
