Chapter 1891: with translation of chapter title

Azure Dragon said: "Nothing is impossible. I know you have many treasures on you; three ninth-tier Supreme Treasures may be difficult for others, but you can definitely do it."

Xiao Feng sneered: "You really think highly of me; if I had three ninth-tier Supreme Treasures, I would have dragged you out and killed you right now."

"Hahaha, you've got guts, daring to speak to me like that." Azure Dragon wasn't angry but laughed, saying: "Want to kill me? With you and a Supreme Treasure it's not enough. This is the Void Sea, under the Dao Ancestor's grace and protection; the Shui Zu Zun Zhe is an immortal existence. Even if you bring out a Primordial Sacred Artifact, you can't kill me."

"Huh?"

These words made Xiao Feng frown involuntarily.

Even a Primordial Sacred Artifact can't kill him? Is that true or false?

"Jian Ge, is this credible?" he asked the Heaven-Shaking Arrow in his mind.

Heaven-Shaking Arrow gave no definite answer: "I have no memories of another world, so I'm unclear about the extent of the Dao Ancestor's influence. However…… someone as strong as Azure Dragon probably wouldn't lie about this; credibility is over seventy percent."

"This… sigh, never mind; killing Azure Dragon isn't the most important thing anyway—saving people is what matters!" Xiao Feng said helplessly.

If we can't kill him, then we can't kill him; as long as we can find Xun Shuang Xianzi and use the Tian Tian Bao Nang to swallow her, the matter will be basically over.

He could leave via Mi Jing teleportation, or kill himself to respawn and return.

As long as we leave the Void Sea, everything will be over.

If Azure Dragon dares to chase him to the Myriad Heavens Battlefield to cause trouble, without the Dao Ancestor's protection, it's not certain who will kill whom!

"How about it, think it over again? Naming your price is fine too." Azure Dragon said in a relaxed tone, not at all worried that Xiao Feng would refuse.

But Xiao Feng still refused to change his mind.

It's not that he's unwilling to use treasures to exchange for his wife and children's safety; it's that he truly can't afford to!

The Heaven-Shaking Arrow is a Human Clan Luck Supreme Treasure; giving it to Azure Dragon, he wouldn't want it either, because it's meaningless.

As for the other Supreme Treasures, which one could he give away?

The Myriad Calamities Treasure Pagoda is his first high-tier Supreme Treasure; it has helped him a lot, given him much guidance, like a friend, so he definitely won't hand it over.

The other two eighth-tier Supreme Treasures: the Tian Tian Bao Nang is his most important storage space now, also impossible to give away.

The Myriad Transformations Spirit Pearl, although not as important, is endlessly transformable with infinite utility, also a practical treasure.

He can't give away any of these things!

As for the seventh-tier ones… Azure Dragon probably wouldn't even look at them.

"Forget it; since you're so stubborn, I'll wait until you can't walk anymore and then ask again." Azure Dragon said that, then fell silent.

Xiao Feng also didn't seek her out to talk, silently maintaining the heat output of the True Solar Fire and the Weapon: Star Furnace, approaching the planet's core.

Unnoticed, another two days passed.

He had already dug 5800 kilometers underground.

To maintain speed, his mana consumption grew larger and larger, the True Solar Fire he used grew larger, and even his comprehension-of-law value began to lag behind the consumption.

The influence range of the True Solar Fire also grew smaller; melting open about 30 meters around, it could no longer spread outward, showing that the outside cold was becoming ever more terrifying.

If not for the protection of the Weapon: Star Furnace and True Solar Fire, even a Divine King coming here would instantly freeze into an ice sculpture, unable to even operate divine power!

After three days without returning home, his family began to worry about his situation, sending a message every now and then to check in.

Friends, however,

They didn't notice his abnormality, because his level kept increasing, gaining one level each day, very stable.

The essence of the Spirit Gathering Divine Tree continuously operates, raising his level by one every 24 hours.

This level-up fluctuation is also a reliance for Xiao Feng.

Because whenever a player levels up, the system defaults to refilling their blood and mana.

Thus, starting from the second day, Xiao Feng learned to control time.

Mana potions weren't enough; seeing that he'd level up in two or three hours, he simply stopped taking them.

When his mana hit bottom, his level would rise just then, instantly bringing him to full status.

Thus, going back and forth like this also saves quite a bit of resources, adding some assurance to this prolonged battle.

When the fourth day was half over, Azure Dragon again asked Xiao Feng if he wanted to change his mind, and even lowered his conditions, saying that two ninth-tier Supreme Treasures would suffice.

Xiao Feng still couldn't accept it, couldn't afford the ransom, and could only rely on himself.

After several days of torment, he also sensed that Azure Dragon had no killing intent; otherwise he wouldn't have been secretly watching without acting.

With the power of a top-tier venerable, if he had wanted to obstruct, Xiao Feng, now trapped beneath the strata, would be in a completely passive situation with basically no chance of victory.

What Azure Dragon wants is compensation; although his opening demand is outrageous, fundamentally it hasn't reached the point of mortal enemies.

Obviously she also doesn't want to openly offend the two people backed by the Dao Ancestor.

And Azure Dragon's act of sparing lives on the grounds of clan stance—even if Fu Xi Dao Ancestor knew, it would be awkward to intervene.

Because the cause of the matter is indeed on Xun Shuang Xianzi's side.

"If Chen Jie were here, with her personality she wouldn't bother reasoning with Azure Dragon at all."

Xiao Feng thought to himself.

But at the same time he also understood that he couldn't rely on others for everything.

The Dao Ancestor knows all; the matter of Xun Shuang Xianzi being captured, Chen Jie and Fu Xi certainly know as well.

Since neither side will intervene, this matter can only be resolved by Xiao Feng himself.

Unless he truly can't solve it and Xun Shuang Xianzi faces a dead-end situation, otherwise the Dao Ancestor won't intervene.

But if it comes to that, and the Dao Ancestor intervenes, Xiao Feng would also lose the qualification to bring Xun Shuang Xianzi back.

At that point it would be Tian Ya Liang Duan, forever unable to meet again.

The fourth day passed.

The fifth day also passed.

The azure flame of the Weapon: Star Furnace and the power of the True Solar Fire were compressed within 30 meters, and Xiao Feng's descent speed began to drop significantly.

In the first three days, he drilled 5800 kilometers.

On the fourth day, he only drilled 1500 kilometers.

On the fifth day… only 700 kilometers remained.

This is the result of him using 'Transform into Starlight' once a day, forcibly breaking through a large stratum!

"Stone, how far is she from me?"

At the start of the sixth day, Xiao Feng spent 1 billion spirit stones to consult the Xun Zong Jie Hui Shi.

The Xun Zong Jie Hui Shi said: "Straight down 288 kilometers, we're almost there!"

"It's still so far… I'm about to freeze." Xiao Feng felt immense pressure.

Now his mana consumption is outrageous—every meter descended consumes millions of divine essence, and in this environment where he cannot replenish mana, it's already becoming perilous.

"Why not negotiate terms with the Azure Dragon again?" the Myriad Transformations Spirit Pearl suggested.

"I can't afford it." Xiao Feng said helplessly.

Even two ninth‑order supreme treasures were still a ransom he couldn't pay; even if the price dropped another tier, a single ninth‑order treasure would still force him to hand it over.

he would have to hand over his most important Myriad Calamities Pagoda.

Moreover, the Azure Dragon would surely not lower its price significantly again.

Ding~

At that moment, a friend's message arrived.

It was from Feng Feng Shi, which was rather surprising.

Feng Feng Shi said: "How come I haven't seen you these past few days?"

Xiao Feng's level had already surpassed hers, making him the new leader, and over the past few days he had pulled ahead.

But Xiao Feng, stranded on the Yong Dong Jian Lao Xing Qiu, could not feel happy at all.

In response to Feng Feng Shi's question, he replied: "I've run into some trouble these past few days and can't get away. How about it—has 1 Yi Hao Ji Bing gone up the mountain?"

"No, that's not it; Qing Nü misses your He Xianzi and asked me to inquire." Feng Feng Shi replied.

Xiao Feng chuckled; it seemed his own foolish bird also had some charm, and Feng Feng Shi's mount had already become infatuated with her.

He said: "Let's talk later; I don't even know when I can get out. Sigh, your father's foolish disciple has gotten himself into a place where his soul and mana are frozen, and I'm trying to get her out."

It was rare to chat with someone who had made contact with a Dao Ancestor, especially the daughter of Fu Xi Dao Ancestor, who theoretically belonged to the same faction as Xun Shuang Xianzi; he couldn't help but complain.

Although Feng Feng Shi is a daughter of a Dao Ancestor, she doesn't know much about Fu Xi's disciples either; in her impression, there is only another Dao Ancestor‑level being, and she doesn't really understand anything else.

Upon hearing this, he doubted and said: "You mean Wu Xin Shi Jie? I once heard my father mention her; she shouldn't be that weak, so you want me to rescue her?"

"It's not Wu Xin Dao Venerable, but her junior sister in this world, Xun Shuang. Alas… speaking of it, it's also my own doing, a case of reaping what I sow." Xiao Feng sighed, roughly outlining the situation.

He had finished explaining.

Feng Feng Shi's special background made it no big deal that she knew a little about Dao Ancestor‑related matters.

However, regarding what happened between him and Xun Shuang Xianzi—whether it was caused by Chen Jie's meddling or he deliberately concealed it—he only said he was lust‑blinded and dared not push the blame onto Chen Jie.

After listening, Feng Feng Shi couldn't help but chuckle: "You're not wrong—it's indeed self‑inflicted. However, that lady probably has her own difficulties; otherwise she wouldn't do this. Let me help you out, as a senior sister looking after her junior."
