Chapter 347

Suddenly, she noticed Su Xuan's eyes open.

Lady Dongjun Yanfei did not say anything, assuming Su Xuan had finished his cultivation.

Immediately afterward, she saw a scene that surprised her: she saw Su Xuan open his mouth, and a box grew from small to large and landed on the ground.

"This?"

Lady Dongjun Yanfei was stunned. Could it be played like this?

Had Pavilion Master Master Xuantian hidden the item in his belly?

Su Xuan did not explain, nor did he care that Lady Dongjun Yanfei was by his side; he opened the box directly.

In an instant, a shimmering light scattered out, filling the entire room, even masking the light of the lamps in the room.

"This is..."

Lady Dongjun Yanfei was very surprised. Of course, she knew what this was—a precious night-luminescent pearl—but this pearl was simply too large.

"It is the Sui Hou Pearl!"

Su Xuan stated the origin of this night-luminescent pearl indifferently.

"It is actually the Sui Hou Pearl!"

Lady Dongjun Yanfei had heard of the Sui Hou Pearl; the reputation of the "Two Treasures of the Spring and Autumn Period" was simply too great, as they were rare treasures that had circulated in the world for a long time. She had not expected the Sui Hou Pearl to appear in Su Xuan's hands.

After Su Xuan stated the name of the night-luminescent pearl, he picked up the Sui Hou Pearl from the box.

Although the most important thing was the box containing the Sui Hou Pearl, he was also somewhat interested in this pearl itself.

If the legends were correct, this pearl was a dragon pearl.

After picking up the Sui Hou Pearl, Su Xuan sensed it immediately.

"No wonder it is called one of the Two Treasures of the Spring and Autumn Period; it is indeed extraordinary!"

Night-luminescent pearls, while rare, could still be found in the vast world, and the same went for large ones; not all large night-luminescent pearls could be called the Two Treasures of the Spring and Autumn Period.

After sensing the Sui Hou Pearl, Su Xuan became even more certain of this.

Within this pearl, he felt an incredibly profound power.

This power was incredibly noble; sensing it carefully, it actually brought him a trace of trembling, like the pressure felt by a lower-level creature facing a higher-level one.

Fortunately, Su Xuan's strength was formidable, which allowed him to sense this strand of power contained within the Sui Hou Pearl. If it were an ordinary person, it would be impossible to discern the power hidden deep within the Sui Hou Pearl, and they would only treat it as a rare and precious night-luminescent pearl.

"Perhaps this object can help my strength advance a few more steps!"

Su Xuan's thoughts flashed, and a sharp light immediately appeared in his eyes.

The simplest way to extract this power from the Sui Hou Pearl would likely be to crush it with his bare hands; once the power inside lost its carrier, it would manifest.

But this was, after all, an incredibly precious night-luminescent pearl; it would be a pity to destroy it just like that.

Therefore, Su Xuan had to seek other methods.

Fortunately, he had mastered the Seventy-Two Earthly Transformations, and now, he had even initially stepped into the "Heavenly Dipper" realm, gradually beginning to unlock the Heavenly Dipper Daoist arts. After a little consideration, Su Xuan found a solution.

Among the Seventy-Two Earthly Transformations, there was a Daoist art called "Stone Penetration," which allowed one to enter gold and stone without hindrance, making one truly unobstructed.

After executing this technique, one could place oneself in a state between existence and void, passing through gold and stone without damaging their essence.

Su Xuan executed this technique immediately. In an instant, his fingers became somewhat ethereal, and under Lady Dongjun Yanfei's gaze, his fingers reached into the Sui Hou Pearl.

As Su Xuan's fingers reached into the Sui Hou Pearl, the mysterious power hidden within it seemed to have a life of its own; it immediately sensed a crisis and released a powerful force, unwilling to be seized by Su Xuan.

With the eruption of this power, the shimmering luster that had filled the room began to flicker and dim.

Lady Dongjun Yanfei felt an extremely terrifying sense of pressure, and vaguely, it seemed as if the roar of a wild beast echoed in her ears.

She looked at the Sui Hou Pearl with shock, "What exactly is this pressure?"

Soon, she knew.

A strand of golden light was pinched by Su Xuan's fingers and slowly pulled out from the Sui Hou Pearl.

As this golden light left the Sui Hou Pearl, the environment in the room immediately returned to normal, and the shimmering light released by the Sui Hou Pearl filled the entire room.

At the same time, that sense of pressure not only did not disappear but, on the contrary, became even more intense.

Su Xuan also noticed Lady Dongjun Yanfei's appearance of facing a formidable enemy. Not wanting this power to remain in the outside world for too long, he opened his mouth and inhaled forcefully; the golden light immediately flew into his mouth and was swallowed by him.

Even though the essence of this power was extremely high, to the point that it could bring pressure to Su Xuan, it was, after all, only a single strand and far too weak. For the current Su Xuan, it was still easily suppressed.

After this strand of golden light was swallowed by Su Xuan, the pressure that had filled the room finally disappeared.

All that remained was the shimmering light released by the Sui Hou Pearl.

Although the pressure had not existed for long, Lady Dongjun Yanfei was still broken out in a cold sweat. With a lingering sense of fear on her face, she asked Su Xuan in a low voice, "Pavilion Master Master Xuantian..."

Su Xuan knew what Lady Dongjun Yanfei wanted to ask and replied, "That should be a strand of dragon power. Although it is very weak, it also confirms one thing: legends are not necessarily false. The Sui Hou Pearl might truly be related to a real dragon!"

"Dragon power? In this world, there is actually a dragon..."

Lady Dongjun Yanfei was very shocked to hear Su Xuan's answer.

Since she knew of the Sui Hou Pearl, she had naturally heard the legends surrounding it.

She had thought it was just hearsay and had not expected such a secret to be hidden within it.

The fact that the Sui Hou Pearl contained dragon power made Su Xuan think of that theatrical version. The words of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden were mentioned in the original story, and Su Xuan even had the "Yellow Stone Heavenly Book" left by her in the human world in his hands right now, but the "Dragon God" only existed in the theatrical version.

Because the plot of the theatrical version differed greatly from the original story and could be completely considered a parallel world, Su Xuan had not taken it seriously at first.

Now, having personally experienced the dragon power, Su Xuan could not help but think of this.

The existence of dragon power proved that there had indeed been real dragons in this world.

If there really was a Dragon God, did that mean that the things in that theatrical version also existed?

Many Loulan, the Soldier Demon God, and... the Did Chi You Sword!

Su Xuan felt that he could perhaps try to find the whereabouts of the ancient kingdom of Many Loulan.

If he could find it, it would be an unexpected surprise; if he couldn't, Su Xuan would not be disappointed.

After firmly keeping these things in mind, Su Xuan regained his composure and handed the Sui Hou Pearl in his hand to Lady Dongjun Yanfei.

"Pavilion Master Master Xuantian?"

Lady Dongjun Yanfei looked at the Sui Hou Pearl Su Xuan handed over, stunned and confused.

"This object is of no use to me anymore. I give it to you; you have had a hard time accompanying me to the State of Chu this time!"

Lady Dongjun Yanfei's eyes flickered. She quietly took the Sui Hou Pearl, and after a moment of silence, she said to Su Xuan, "Thank you, I like this gift very much!"

Although she was obsessed with cultivation and liked to pursue powerful strength, she was, after all, a woman, and she could not refuse things like pearls and jewelry.

She did not care about the origin of the Sui Hou Pearl; what she cared about was that Su Xuan had given it to her as a gift.
