Chapter 467: Huang Daxian's Heavenly Gift Divine Ability
After Hu Lie Di and the Golden Peng King returned to Lie Hu City, they immediately relayed the news of the Dragon Spirit Demon Master in Hei Cheng to the other Earth cultivators.
When this news spread, the entire Lie Hu City erupted in excitement.
Many Earth cultivators showed expressions of shock and excitement.
They had been searching for the demon master's traces in Tianji Shengyu for a long time.
Upon learning today that the demon master was in Hei Cheng, most Earth cultivators wanted to rush over quickly to make a pilgrimage.
"Finally found the demon master! With the demon master guarding Tianji Shengyu, Earth cultivators can let loose and really go all out!" said Hu Xiaocao, the Heavenly Pivot True Person, excitedly.
"Yes, the demon master's power is unfathomable!
With him here, we have our backbone." The Squirrel King held a spirit fruit in his hand, chewing noisily and letting out juice, agreeing excitedly.
"I heard the Black Clan of Hei Cheng has already submitted to the demon master—this is good news for us.
Hehe, and now the six major cities around Lie Hu City are all in our hands, plus the cultivation technology and treasures brought from Earth—enemies would find it nearly impossible to attack Lie Hu City!" Professor Zhou Yi's eyes gleamed with bright light.
"That's right. Although the Black Clan isn't a top-tier power, they still have some influence in Tianji Shengyu.
With their support, the position of Earth cultivators in Lie Hu City will be even more secure." The Bear King nodded in agreement.
"However, we cannot be careless.
Other powers in Tianji Shengyu must not be underestimated; we must unite more firmly to stand firm on this land." Daoist Qingxu reminded them.
"Don't worry—so long as we stand united, there's nothing we cannot achieve." said Ziyang True Person with full confidence.
The Earth cultivators felt more and more the extraordinary nature of the Golden Core cultivation method created by the demon master as they progressed further.
Although the Earth cultivators' Primordial God Realm is on the same level as the Heaven Realm of cultivators in the Universe Cultivation World, Earth cultivators are actually stronger than those in the Universe Cultivation World.
Combined with the Earth cultivators' astonishing imagination, which defies ordinary reasoning, many cultivators from the Universe Cultivation World have been led astray.
Moreover, Earth cultivators have produced many mysterious treasures by combining technological and cultivation civilizations, each emergence causing headaches for the strong of the Universe Cultivation World.
"Do you think we should send people to guard beside the Dragon Spirit Demon Master, to protect his peace?"
At this moment, Hu Lie Di blurted out.
The demon master is the faith of Earth cultivators; absolutely no mishap must occur.
In the Council Hall, upon hearing this, the Earth cultivators all began to ponder.
"The demon master is the leader of Earth cultivators, now seated in Hei Cheng.
Whoever among Earth cultivators learns this news will find it a tremendous encouragement in facing the complex environment of Tianji Shengyu." said the Golden Peng King after reflection.
"Yes, we must consider the demon master's absolute safety.
Although Hei Cheng is remote, we cannot rule out that cultivators from other powers might covet it." Daoist Qingxu also said worriedly.
"We should send people to protect the demon master.
After all, the demon master's safety is priceless to Earth cultivators." Professor Zhou Yi proposed.
"But the Dragon Spirit Demon Master doesn't want us to follow him around, does he?"
The Tiger King said this, his face showing regret—if the demon master intended for Earth cultivators to protect him, then in Lie Hu City, near water and lofty towers, he would have already returned with the Golden Peng King.
"Hehe, we can secretly send people to follow and protect him!" At this moment, upon hearing this, the Weasel King cracked open a mouthful of snow-white, crystal-clear big teeth.
"Haha, Huang Daxian's suggestion is good.
We can secretly protect him; if we sense anyone hostile toward the demon master, we can eliminate them first for the demon master's sake." The Tiger King's eyes lit up upon hearing this.
"But who should we send?
Earth cultivators who have reached the Primordial God Realm are few; the remaining ancient sages, for the sake of stabilizing the Primordial Spirit Domain base and plundering resources, are not rushing to break through into the Primordial God Realm.
Now we few are merely the vanguard of Earth cultivators who came to Tianji Shengyu—our numbers are limited!
If we send too many strong ones to secretly protect the demon master, Lie Hu City's defense will become weak.
Once the demon master finds out, he will surely blame us!" Professor Zhou Yi raised his doubts.
"Then, then let's send Huang Daxian!" said Ziyang True Person after thinking, at this moment.
"What? I still want to go myself!" said the Tiger King upon hearing this, letting out a fierce howl.
The sudden loud roar directly made all cultivators present shudder.
"I thought, maybe Huang Daxian following along would be suitable!" said Daoist Qingxu after thinking, at this moment, his reason being that Huang Daxian would fart.
Upon saying this, Huang Daxian, who had originally thought he could secretly guard the demon master and felt happy and proud, instantly turned black-faced.
"Your mom—is this supporting Dad, or scolding him, mocking him?"
"Not bad, Tiger King—Huang Daxian's stinky fart has a hallucinatory dizzying effect, capable of dazing enemies from afar invisibly.
Such a divine ability—Tiger King, you truly cannot compare."
At this moment, the Golden Peng King, having realized the key point, also spoke in agreement.
"Haha.
Since being chosen to protect the demon master because of his fart, then I won't contend with Huang Daxian.
But Huang Daxian, if you end up dazing the demon master too.
You might as well roast yourself, saving us the trouble of skinning you, roasting you over fire, and sprinkling salt..."
Hu Lie Di's mouth corner curled into a cold smile as he spoke teasingly.
"Haha, rest assured.
My Invincible Spiral Fart already has autonomous selectivity—it won't attack the demon master."
Huang Daxian sat on his seat, puffing out his furry chest, making assurances.
After a round of discussion, the Earth cultivators had already let Huang Daxian go to Hei Cheng to take action.
After all, the demon master moves about mysteriously, appearing and disappearing unpredictably—who could predict where he'd go next?
So, while the demon master is still in Hei Cheng, let's first send Huang Daxian over to secretly protect him.
Hei Cheng, this city located on the edge of Tianji Shengyu, has been shrouded in a mysterious veil since ancient times.
Its origin can be traced back to the time when Tianji Shengyu had not yet formed its current structure.
After the cultivators of Lihu Sect withdrew at will, Heicheng began a series of changes.
The city's defenses were strengthened, the ancient formations were repaired and then reactivated, and new defense mechanisms were also established.
These changes made Heicheng more stable when facing external threats, and also gave the cultivators in the city an unprecedented sense of security.
However, Longling did not know about the events that happened to Lihu Sect, nor the plans of the earth cultivators.
At this time, under the guidance of Heifeng, Longling came to the ancestral hall of the Heizu.
This is the holy land of the Heizu, where the ancestral tablets of the Heizu ancestors are enshrined, and also the place where the Heizu hold important ceremonies.
The patriarch of the Heizu, Heilong, had already been waiting inside the ancestral hall. Upon seeing Longling, he respectfully performed a salute: "Lady Longling, thank you for your help to the Heizu."
Today, I have invited you here because there is a major matter concerning the future of the Heizu to discuss.
Longling nodded, signaling Heilong to continue.
Heilong took a deep breath and then spoke slowly: "Lady Longling, do you know the legend of the Heizu's divine treasury?"
Longling's eyes narrowed, and then she shook her head.
She was indeed very interested in the legends of the Heizu, which might relate to the rise and fall and future of the Heizu.
Seeing Longling's interest, Heilong continued: "The Heizu's divine treasury is the treasure left by our ancestors, said to contain the Heizu's peerless cultivation methods and countless treasures.
But for countless years, countless Heizu cultivators have searched for it, yet never found any trace of the divine treasury."
Longling pondered for a moment, then said: "Patriarch Heilong, I am willing to help the Heizu search for the divine treasury.
If the divine treasury truly exists, I believe it will surely have a major impact on the development of the Heizu."
Upon hearing this, Heilong's eyes flashed with a hint of excitement: "Lady Longling, your help means great significance to the Heizu.
All the people of the Heizu are willing to fully cooperate with you to jointly search for the divine treasury."
Longling nodded.
The Heizu's divine treasury concerns the secret in the Heizu's bloodline, not to be ignored by him. If it were possible to combine the Eastern Ghost Dance with the Myriad Soul Banner, the hidden mechanism would greatly increase in power.
With the terrifying innovative ability of earth cultivators, they would surely become even safer in Tianji Shengyu.
In the following days, Longling began to deeply study the Heizu's classics.
With Longling stationed in Heicheng, the morale of the Heizu cultivators greatly increased, and they began to actively cultivate and enhance their own strength.
In the depths of the Heizu ancestral hall, Longling and the patriarch studied the ancient classics and scrolls together, hoping to find clues to the divine treasury.
They reviewed countless materials, from the origin of the Heizu to the records of each generation of patriarchs, leaving no detail unexamined.
"Lady Longling, look here." The patriarch pointed to an ancient scroll, which recorded some hidden and mysterious secrets of the Heizu ancestors!
"It is said that the ancestors once discovered a powerful force in a mysterious place in Tianji Shengyu."
Upon hearing this, Longling carefully scanned the scroll with her eyes, and a flash of light appeared in her eyes: "Is this force related to the Heizu's cultivation methods?"
The patriarch nodded: "According to the records, when the ancestors returned from that time, they brought back some mysterious items, all of which were engraved with runes similar to the Guiwu cultivation method."
Longling pondered for a moment, then said: "It seems we need to personally visit that place; perhaps the key to the divine treasury is hidden there."
Heilong immediately expressed agreement: "Lady Longling, I will immediately arrange the strong ones of the clan to accompany you."
Under the patriarch's arrangement, a team composed of Heizu elites quickly assembled.
After several days of travel, they arrived at a desolate place in Tianji Shengyu.
The terrain here is treacherous, and a mysterious aura permeates the surroundings, as if an invisible force is guarding this land.
Longling stood on a high peak, her extreme Dao spiritual sense unfolding, finely sensing everything around her.
That spiritual sense was like a great net, covering the entire area, and any minute fluctuation could not escape her perception.
"Lady Longling, have you discovered anything?" Heilong asked nervously.
Longling did not answer, but continued to explore with her spiritual sense.
Suddenly, a flash of surprise appeared in her eyes.
"Found it, there is an abnormality in the space here; something must be hidden below."
Under her guidance, the Heizu strong ones began to dig.
After some effort, they discovered a hidden cave, deep within which a strong energy fluctuation emanated.
"Is this the mysterious place discovered by the ancestors?" Heilong exclaimed excitedly.
Longling nodded, then took the lead into the cave. The interior of the cave was spacious.
The stone walls around were covered with ancient runes, which bore an astonishing resemblance to the Heizu's Guiwu cultivation method.
At the deepest part of the cave, they discovered a huge stone platform, with an ancient box placed at its center.
Longling walked forward and slowly approached the box.
When she slowly opened the box, everyone's gaze focused on that dazzling beam of light.
"Om..."
After the light gradually faded, the box revealed a piece of crystal-clear crystal.
The crystal emitted a faint blue light, as if containing endless secrets.
"Is this the mysterious object discovered by the ancestors?" Heilong gazed at the crystal, his eyes filled with awe.
Longling lightly touched the surface of the crystal, feeling a strange energy flowing at her fingertips.
This crystal is no ordinary object; its surface is covered with runes, and various mysterious patterns are intertwined.
"We need to bring this object back to Heicheng for careful study." Longling said solemnly.
Heilong nodded in agreement, and they carefully brought the crystal back to Heicheng.
In the Heizu ancestral hall, Longling and the patriarch studied the crystal together, trying to unlock its secrets.
They discovered that the crystal seemed to contain a series of ancient images, recording the deeds of the Heizu ancestors.
Through these images, they learned of the origin of the Heizu.
"Longling, we finally found some clues to the Black Tribe's secret!" The Black Dragon Clan Chief said excitedly.
Longling nodded, a flash of determination in his eyes: "It seems I must go to another place."
Longling led the Black Tribe's strong ones across the desolate mountains near Black City, crossed the surging rivers, and finally arrived at a hidden valley according to the coordinates recorded in the crystal.
A mysterious aura permeated the valley, as if an invisible force was guarding this land.
Longling stood at the valley entrance, his ultimate Dao spiritual sense unfolding, carefully sensing everything around him.
"This should be the place." Longling said in a deep voice.
Following the crystal's resonance, they found a mysterious ancient stele in an unremarkable rock.
The stele was pitch black like ink, densely carved with runes, appearing especially mysterious.
Longling inserted the crystal in his hand into the groove of the stele, and instantly the entire stele burst forth with a strange black vortex.
Before Longling and the others could react, they were swallowed by the vortex.
When they opened their eyes and reacted, they found themselves in a huge underground palace.
The interior of the palace was splendid and magnificent, with countless gems inlaid on the surrounding walls, emitting dazzling light.
In the deepest part of the palace, they discovered a vast treasury, filled with various rare magical artifacts and elixirs.
"What is this?"
The Black Dragon Clan Chief said excitedly.
Upon hearing this, Longling remained unmoved.
He took out the crystal again, and following the method left by his ancestors, placed the crystal on the stone platform at the center of the treasury.
As the crystal was placed, the entire treasury began to tremble, a powerful energy surged out from the crystal, activating the treasury's restrictions.
As the restrictions were activated, the treasures in the treasury began to emit even more dazzling light.
"Haha, success!"
The Black Dragon Clan Chief said excitedly.
Longling did not regard those treasures and elixirs as important, but instead searched for something in the treasury.
As he inadvertently touched, a jade wine pot fell casually from a corner.
"Boom—"
The entire treasury began to shake violently in an instant.
