Chapter 1789 Secret
Chapter 1789 Secret
Dragon Palace.
Chen Wanli looked around at this special palace hidden beneath the river.
Although it is called a palace, it can only be considered an underwater structure built of huge stones.
Beneath the radiant light of the water-repelling array, auspicious clouds shrouded the area, and shimmering auspicious energy rose, giving it an almost ethereal quality despite the darkness.
The shrimp soldiers and crab generals had a certain imposing presence, but the legendary rare treasures were nowhere to be seen.
As a person from the Great Xia, in the myths, the Dragon Palace was a magnificent sight, with jade steps guarded by precious seals, coral trees surrounded by golden scales, pearls hanging from the top, and night light as a curtain.
What I see now lacks that grandeur.
"I thought the Dragon Palace was a crystal palace at the bottom of the sea!" Chen Wanli said with a grin.
The Dragon King snorted: "The ancient dragon race lived in the Heavenly Sea, and their Dragon Palace was naturally an exquisite underwater palace. Thanks to your ancient human emperor, you are now in such a predicament..."
Chen Wanli pretended not to hear. In any case, in the Demon Cave, the Human Emperor was just a frame, and all sorts of bad things could be put into it.
The three women, Xuanle, Fengxi, and Xiangqing, followed closely behind Chen Wanli. It was also their first time visiting the Dragon Palace.
What they saw before them was a luxury, far superior to the territory of the gods.
Especially Xiang Qing, who was used to the simplicity of the Xiang Shou clan, couldn't imagine how magnificent the ancient dragon palace could be after hearing the Dragon King's words.
The group followed the Dragon King through a long corridor and arrived at an open space where water flowed around them, a sight that left them speechless with amazement.
"I promised you I would take three treasures from my treasury, and I will keep my word! Now tell me, what treasures do you want?"
The Dragon King still had a sour face; he was in a bad mood because he had been unfairly blamed.
"What treasures do you want? I didn't even think of that. Why don't you take me to the treasure vault, and I'll take my time choosing?"
Chen Wanli was in a good mood, smiling the whole time, almost showing his gums.
The three women sighed inwardly. In this demonic cave, only Chen Wanli could make the Dragon King so angry that his nostrils were flaming while he still managed to hold back his rage.
Long Jihai was speechless; his father was truly furious.
Up to now, Chen Wanli has not explained in detail how to conduct himself after entering the Moon God Platform.
They acted as if they were waiting for the Dragon King to speak, which was really quite immature.
It's just that Chen Wanli's Yin-Yang dual fire is truly rare; if it were anyone else, the Dragon King would have already gone berserk and attacked directly.
“Ahem, Father, why don’t I take Chen Shenzu to make the selection?” Long Jihai stepped forward and offered.
The Dragon King snorted, "Fine! Choose one and take it to the main hall."
Seeing the Dragon King turn away in a huff, Chen Wanli didn't say a kind word.
Long Jihai was clever; he summoned a mermaid and took Xiang Qing and the other two women to rest there before leading Chen Wanli to the treasure vault.
"Since our last parting at the Moon God Platform, seeing Ancestor Chen's imposing presence again is truly awe-inspiring! My Dragon Palace's actions are not those of petty villains. My father's only wish is for the path to the Great Dao's ascension; please, Ancestor Chen, do not take offense!"
Long Ji walked along the beach, talking as he went, his eyes constantly glancing at Chen Wanli.
Chen Wanli simply smiled faintly: "No problem, no problem. Once we enter the Moon God Platform, your father and I will naturally be allies!"
Long Jihai found Chen Wanli's forced smile unfathomable and said no more.
Two teams of shrimp soldiers patrolled back and forth in front of the treasure vault.
The array above the gate was mysterious, but Long Jihai was quite frank. He took out the restriction token and started the array incantation in front of Chen Wanli.
A moment later, the door slowly opened automatically, revealing an interior resembling a large warehouse.
Upon entering, one finds countless medicinal herbs and materials, which are then processed and sealed away.
Various magical artifacts and treasures shone brightly.
Books and brochures are neatly arranged in rows on hundreds of large bookshelves.
All kinds of rare and precious treasures are specially organized, and a glance at them is dazzling.
Chen Wanli licked his lips.
This is a real dog tycoon!
After exploring the area with his divine sense, Chen Wanli found himself in a difficult situation, with only one thought remaining in his mind: "Only children make choices, adults all..."
"What kind of treasure does Chen Shenzu need? Would you like me to give you some information?" Long Jihai was quite proud of his own treasure trove.
Compared to the gods, the Dragon Palace's treasury is equivalent to the sum of all the clans' treasures.
Especially regarding spiritual materials and medicines, because the dragon race did not participate much in the war, they consumed less, and many ancient and rare spiritual medicines may still be preserved.
However, it then realized that Chen Wanli had "distracted": "Chen, Chen Shenzu?"
"Oh! Ahem... No need for introductions, just take a look at this list and see what you have at home!"
Chen Wanli took out the list of materials needed for Ye Junshen to reshape his physical body. Some of them had already been gathered, but there were still three spiritual herbs that he could not obtain.
Perhaps it won't be long before he can go back. If he can get this important matter done, it will definitely be his top priority.
Long Jihai quickly scanned the list. The medicinal herbs on it might not be expensive, but they were all very rare!
Even in ancient times, it was not easy to gather them all.
"Only two of them!" Long Jihai pointed to the two medicine names on the table.
Chen Wanli responded with an "Oh," and was secretly delighted: "Go and fetch it!"
"This soul-condensing potion is rarely used in mainstream elixir formulas and is not very valuable; it's just that it's not easy to obtain from the netherworld."
Long Jihai scratched his head in confusion and whispered a reminder: "My Dragon Palace has many treasures. My father promised you three things, but Chen Shenzu chose these two, which is a waste!"
Chen Wanli waved his hand: "No need to say more, my mind is made up!"
For Chen Wanli, Ye Junshen was both a teacher and a friend, and their friendship was priceless.
Long Jihai had no choice but to nod and go search. Only then did Chen Wanli begin to carefully weigh the items present, making a final selection!
Speaking of weapons, they have no shortage of magical treasures.
The Jade Axe Star River is very handy, especially with the addition of the weapon spirit, which allows for more flexible activation of the axe's magic array, significantly boosting its combat power.
Even if he offered other magical treasures in exchange, Chen Wanli was unwilling.
They also captured quite a few magical artifacts, but since they preferred large-scale, sweeping attacks in battle, they didn't use the artifacts very often.
Having a spiritual root that can open spiritual veins is one option.
However, the best choice is the treasure that can be used by those who have reached the Nascent Soul stage or the Divine Transformation stage.
His divine sense swept through the treasure vault a few times, and when it landed on a pile of ancient scrolls, he inexplicably felt a bit curious.
Chen Wanli stepped forward and casually flipped through a few paintings, all of which were landscape paintings.
"what is this?"
Chen Wanli asked Long Jihai, who had just come over to get the medicine.
Long Jihai first looked surprised, then a hint of helplessness appeared on his face: "This, this is actually not of much value. It's just some stories left to future generations by my dragon ancestors."
"A story?" Chen Wanli raised his eyelids slightly.
Seeing that Chen Wanli was still looking at him, Long Jihai coughed and said, "Yes. It's a jade slip that resembles images of light and shadow, recording some things from ancient times, or even further back."
By probing with one's divine sense, one can find out the truth.
Chen Wanli gave an "oh" and probed into it with his divine sense.
In an instant, a buzzing sound suddenly rang in my mind.
Chen Wanli frowned, and before him appeared a sea of clouds, and in his ears rang a voice as resounding as a great bell:
"I, the Divine Dragon Immortal, have ventured out to subdue demons across the eight wastelands!"
As the deep voice dissipated and the sea of clouds churned, a young man dressed in black robes appeared, bowing towards the void.
Following the gaze of the young man in black robes, Chen Wanli's pupils suddenly contracted, and even his breathing faltered slightly.
Beneath the feet of the young man in black robes was a steep cliff, and before him lay a bottomless abyss.
Beneath the abyss, in boundless darkness, only two enormous, bright white moons flickered on and off.
Chen Wanli was stunned for a long time. Two full moons beneath the abyss?
The next second, he suddenly realized that those weren't two full moons, but two enormous eyeballs.
As he met those enormous eyes, a chilling coldness spread throughout Chen Wanli's body.
That immense sense of oppression, almost tangible, completely enveloped him, as if he were fully immersed in it.
Even though he had previous experience of his consciousness being drawn into an illusionary space, Chen Wanli was still terrified at this moment.
But he quickly regained his composure and instead became curious.
Then, the scene changed, and the young man in black robes moved.
"I, the Divine Dragon Immortal, have been summoned by the Emperor's golden decree to order the demons to be subdued and slain!"
The young man took out a roll of gold satin from his sleeve, carefully unfolded it, and found it covered with densely written characters, a list of crimes.
It has a bit of the feel of an ancient emperor issuing an edict to exterminate an entire family, first listing the crimes he committed.
With a wave of his hand, the young man sent the golden ribbon flying toward the edge of the abyss.
The enormous demon, whose size was unknown, stared at the flying golden ribbon. Its eyes, which were already flickering, darkened further.
The next second, a roar filled with grief and indignation came from the abyss.
The young man had no expression.
About the time it takes for an incense stick to burn has passed.
He suddenly spoke up: "At the Emperor's request!"
Then he opened his palm and made a hand seal: "Heavenly Sea Divine Dragon summons the True Water Token, inviting the Human Emperor Sword to observe the battle, and will annihilate this fiend in an instant!"
Between breaths.
Countless water swords suddenly appeared across the entire sky.
Like countless sharp peaks bent backwards, the sword blades stand like a chain necklace, guarding a throne, where a sharp golden sword is stuck.
The young man drew his fingers into a sword shape and casually swung it down: "Slash!"
After saying that, he turned and left.
Countless water swords, like tangible blades, fell and filled the abyss.
Those eyes, which had been flickering between light and shadow, suddenly dimmed.
A dull thud came from the abyss as something heavy fell.
A wisp of crimson light drifted from the bottom of the cliff and landed on the suspended golden ribbon, as if pressing a red handprint of confession...
The young man raised his hand, and the golden brocade rolled up and landed on the sword forest throne that had been there before.
The sword flew out with a whoosh and disappeared without a trace.
The next moment, the white clouds rolled up again, blocking Chen Wanli's view, and everything seemed to return to calm!
……
Chen Wanli closed his eyes, pondered for a moment, and a thought flashed through his mind: Divine Dragon Immortal? Dragon Clan? Human Emperor?
That sword belongs to the Human Emperor?
Judging from his flying sword, the Human Emperor must have also cultivated the Great Dao.
