Chapter 1896

Qi Luck Ice Box is the Azure Dragon's fundamental reliance; without it, she would merely be an ordinary 2910-level venerable, not so fearsome.

Myriad Tribulations Treasure Pagoda heard Xiao Feng's words and was stunned for a moment.

"This…… I don't know either; I'm also seeing the Dao Ancestor's decree for the first time."

Before, it had been continuously evolving and breaking through levels; although its consciousness could still connect with the outside world, knowing what Xiao Feng had recently encountered and obtained, that didn't mean it truly knew everything.

The Dao Ancestor's decree is exceedingly rare, rarer even than a Primordial Sacred Artifact; as for its abilities, the Myriad Tribulations Treasure Pagoda can only speculate.

It wasn't just the Myriad Tribulations Treasure Pagoda that was stunned; several other Supreme Treasures were as well.

After a while, Little Treasure softly said, "Big Brother, your imaginative ideas are still impressive; I think we can let Jian Ge simulate how he would react when targeted by the Dao Ancestor's decree."

"Exactly, exactly, exactly, I think so too!" the Myriad Transformations Spirit Pearl echoed.

Heaven-Shaking Arrow heard this, thought seriously, and analyzed: "If the Dao Ancestor's decree were used to suppress me, I'd probably be unable to resist, only able to be manipulated. But afterward I would also fly into a rage, releasing greater destructive power to take revenge."

Rage……

This is indeed a problem!

Supreme Treasures are sentient; although it looks just like an ice box, its wisdom is no less than that of Pagoda Brother and Jian Ge.

Moreover, having accompanied the Azure Dragon for endless ages, their minds are in sync; working together they would be extremely fearsome!

In five seconds, Xiao Feng must withstand the Azure Dragon's pressure, open the ice box, take Xun Shuang Xianzi away, and then complete the withdrawal.

This is no joke; even the slightest mistake would doom him, his family of three, plus his own Supreme Treasure set.

They will all be hanging here!

"Let's formulate a plan of action."

He began discussing with the Supreme Treasures.

This operation must be flawless!

One, not give the Azure Dragon a chance to strike; two, open the Qi Luck Ice Box in the shortest time to take the person inside; three, prevent the cold air leaking from the ice box from touching oneself.

Furthermore, fourth…… need to run a bit faster!

To accomplish all this within five seconds, he must exhaust every means, bringing out all his hidden resources.

Its difficulty far exceeds that of the battle to slay the Master of Life!

"How is it, have you thought of a plan? Any other tricks?" the Azure Dragon spoke.

Seeing Xiao Feng there, lost in thought for a long while, she already felt a bit bored.

Xiao Feng was still using his Divine Sense to formulate plans with the Supreme Treasures, multitasking while conversing with the Azure Dragon.

He said, "Naturally there are other ways. But before acting, I want to ask: why did you imprison her here? With your strength, you could easily confine her anywhere."

The Azure Dragon explained, "You wouldn't know this, but by imprisoning her in the ice box, we can gradually refine her Qi Luck. The loss she caused by devouring our clan's Qi Luck will be gradually drawn back."

Xiao Feng suddenly understood.

Everything became clear.

As expected of a Qi Luck Supreme Treasure, it can even retrieve the Qi Luck that was plundered!

However, saying this actually differs somewhat from what the Azure Dragon previously said.

"You previously said her damage couldn't be compensated, but now isn't there a way? Over this past year, you've also refined back a lot of Qi Luck, right? Why bother her further, and how dare you demand two"

"pieces of ninth‑level Supreme Treasures!" Xiao Feng said coldly.

The Azure Dragon retorted, "Debts must be repaid—it's only right; what's wrong with asking for more compensation? Furthermore, the Qi Luck refined back only goes into our clan's Qi Luck foundation, not returned to its original source. Those planets whose future thousand years of Qi Luck she cut off still have no chance to rise within a thousand years."

"'At the end of the day, it's just your greed!' Xiao Feng said disdainfully."

He then added, "I don't believe she would recklessly plunder Qi Luck heedless of all beings; Xun Shuang Xianzi is kind‑hearted and would not do such a thing; I suspect you're framing her, deliberately making things difficult."

In his impression, Xun Shuang Xianzi is a transcendent, otherworldly immortal who abstains from mortal food, whose lifelong pursuit is the utmost in cultivation and the mysteries of heaven.

Even if she experienced drastic changes and her disposition shifted, it's impossible for her to suddenly become an evil person who harms others' Qi Luck foundations.

Hearing this, the Azure Dragon chuckled and said, "You really do understand her well—no wonder you're a pair. Indeed, the planets she plundered are all sparsely populated yet overflowing with surplus Qi Luck, and she hasn't actually drained them completely. But… so what? A thief is a thief, whether they steal much or little, it's still a crime; no matter how you argue, it's meaningless. You'd better hurry and fetch two ninth‑level Supreme Treasures, lest she be frozen too long in the ice box, develop a lasting ailment, and even lose her child."

Hearing this, Xiao Feng let out a deep sigh.

Now he basically understands the whole cause and effect, except for the purpose behind Xun Shuang Xianzi's Qi Luck plundering, which remains unclear; everything else has been clarified.

Now, who is right or wrong no longer matters.

Most importantly, he must do what he

self ought to do!

The plan of action has been finalized.

Before taking action, he said to the Azure Dragon, "This matter arose because of her; let's not argue about the intermediate details. If you can return her to me, I promise to present a ninth‑level Supreme Treasure as compensation within a year. This is my utmost sincerity."

If it can be settled, losing a ninth‑level Supreme Treasure is also acceptable to him.

Given a year, thinking of ways to hunt a few venerables will surely yield Supreme Treasures.

But the Azure Dragon is obviously not so easily satisfied.

She changed her sitting posture, crossed her legs, lifted one leg, shook her head and said, "No, I've already given you a discount; two ninth‑level Supreme Treasures is the utmost leniency. If you feel the time isn't enough, I can give you three years."

Xiao Feng felt helpless.

At the dawn of creation, only twenty‑four ninth‑level Supreme Treasures were born; she asks for two right off the bat—her appetite is truly huge.

"Must it be this way? If we keep quarreling, you might end up with none at all." His tone was no longer polite.

"Is that so? Then go ahead and cause trouble." The Azure Dragon was unfazed; with the Qi Luck Ice Box present, she is the ruler here—no one can kill her, no one can defy her.

Xiao Feng's aura sank low.

"This is what you said!"

A thought stirred in his mind, and something appeared in the center of his left palm.

It is a jade stone, the size of a fist, wholly translucent and very beautiful.

It is called 【Stellar Jade Marrow】, containing vast and pure energy, enough for him to fully replenish his divine power hundreds of times!

"Oh? Are you going to make a move? That's stellar jade marrow? Good stuff, but it's useless, might as well be a snack for me." Qing Long sneered, completely disregarded Xiao Feng.

Xiao Feng ignored her, just self

He self-consciously sprayed divine power, cutting the stellar jade marrow into two parts, one part a large chunk, he collected.

The small part, about 5% of the size, he ate directly.

Boom!

At this moment, the divine power inside his body formed a torrent, almost about to burst him open!

"Please, the Dao Ancestor's command!"
