355: Chapter 355 The Flood Dragon Cauldron, Dou Zong Yao Feiyu
Jade slips, as important carriers for recorded information, require soul power to be inscribed.
When reading, soul power is also required to access the content. To protect important information, restrictions are sometimes even branded upon them.
It is difficult to examine them without meeting the specific requirements.
Snap!
Walking forward, he grabbed the jade slip on the long table. Holding it in his palm, it felt like warm, rounded jade, giving off a warm sensation.
High-quality jade, actually used to record information.
He immediately probed a trace of his soul power into the jade slip, wanting to see exactly what was stored inside.
"This is..."
The next moment, Hun Tiandi's expression changed. As soon as his soul power entered the jade slip, he felt as if it were a strange space, with mysterious characters flowing continuously.
Flickering with traces of pure white light, it was as if a hornet's nest had been poked; the information rushed into his mind along with his soul power.
Hmph!
The violent impact forced a muffled groan from him. This information was vast and came too quickly, causing a sudden burst of pain.
Operating the God Refining Art, he stabilized his soul power and quickly absorbed the information, instantly understanding its meaning.
Phew!
Opening his eyes, he exhaled softly. Two rays of sharp light burst from his eyes, and the expression on his handsome face shifted constantly.
His usual composure was replaced by utter astonishment after seeing the information.
"Interesting. No wonder the gods and buddhas of myth like to establish temples and cast golden bodies; so it can be used like this!"
Hun Tiandi quickly deduced in his mind, a mysterious smile playing on his lips. That path should be viable.
He spoke: "Unfortunately, there's a restriction, and I can only see a small part. If I could see it all, I should know how to use it."
That restriction was terrifying. He had previously thought about using the Soul Yellow Sword to break it.
A trace of fear rose in his heart. If he were to force it, his soul might even be annihilated.
This was only the most basic part; the true key was something he couldn't yet see through.
This mysterious jade slip is definitely a treasure!
After fiddling with it for a bit, he put it into his storage ring.
Looking back at the medicinal tripod in the Jiao-Snake Palace, he showed a playful look. Such a fine medicinal tripod was gathering dust here.
"Why not come out with this King? Become a supreme Alchemist Grandmaster and let your light shine across the continent."
Jiao-Snake Tripod!
Hun Tiandi smiled and waved his sleeve, putting it directly into his storage ring.
"Let's go!" He took the lead and walked out of the Jiao-Snake Palace, with Qing Yue following behind. After walking some distance...
Hun Tiandi turned his head and looked at the hundred-zhang-tall palace, feeling it was a bit of a waste.
Soul power surged out, covering the Jiao-Snake Palace, and he directly stored it into the Netherworld. The place became empty, as if a swarm of locusts had passed through.
Anything he took an interest in was packed and taken away.
He still had a dynasty to support and many subordinates to cultivate. One doesn't know the cost of living until they run the household!
"Qing Yue, now we're only missing the black jade lotus. If we find it, we can refine the pill to purify your bloodline, and your constitution will greatly improve."
Hun Tiandi said.
"Really, Young Master!" Qing Yue cheered, appearing lively and cute.
The two continued to explore toward the mountain forest.
However, Hun Tiandi and Qing Yue took out black robes and put them on for protection.
Swish...
In the sky, several figures streaked past, flying in all directions as if searching for something, their auras extremely powerful.
In the forest, Hun Tiandi looked up at the sky and said in surprise, "Is it her?"
He hadn't expected to encounter the person he least wanted to see in this True Dragon Tomb. It was an ill-fated connection!
One of the figures streaked toward Hun Tiandi's direction with a majestic aura, stepping through the void without Dou Qi Wings.
It was a powerful Dou Zong!
"Boy, have you found the holy flower?" The Dou Zong hovered in the air, looking down at Hun Tiandi and Qing Yue.
"Hmm? Get down here!" Hun Tiandi snorted coldly, sensing the aura of the Blood Spirit Seal on him.
Ah...
That powerful Dou Zong screamed and fell from mid-air, clutching his head in agony. No matter how resilient one's will was, it was hard to withstand that intense pain deep within the soul.
"Senior, have mercy!" the Dou Zong wailed.
Hun Tiandi withdrew the Blood Spirit Seal and flipped back his hood, revealing a handsome face as he looked indifferently at the middle-aged man.
"Subordinate Yao Feiyu greets the Lord!" Yao Feiyu clearly saw the person's face; it was indeed Hun Tiandi.
"Rise."
"Thank you, Lord!" Yao Feiyu rose respectfully, looking at Hun Tiandi with awe, not wanting to experience the punishment of the Blood Spirit Seal again.
This person was Yao Feiyu. Previously, the Xiao Family had led people to the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion to force a kill on Hun Tiandi.
Liu Ling was also subdued at that time. Knowing he was an Alchemist, Hun Tiandi kept him by his side after planting the Blood Spirit Seal.
Besides Yao Feiyu and Liu Ling, there were four others hidden within the Xiao Family.
"You are looking for the holy flower?" Hun Tiandi asked, puzzled.
"Yes, Lord. Miss Xiao Xiao is seriously injured and unconscious. The Xiao Family is searching for precious spirit medicines. Since the East Sea Ruins appeared, it's said that the holy flower exists within the ruins, so Xiao Lin sent us in to find it!"
Yao Feiyu dared not hide anything and directly stated his purpose.
"I see. After you return to the Xiao Family, secretly investigate something. Once you have results, go to the fifth shop on the ninth street of Jia Ma Holy City to deliver the information!"
Hun Tiandi gave the order, telling Yao Feiyu to investigate the death of Yuan Yi, City Lord and whether the Darong Shop was indeed destroyed by the Xiao Family.
"Yes, Lord!" Yao Feiyu took the order, and with a flash, he disappeared.
"holy flower? To think such a treasure exists in the True Dragon Tomb... Jie jie jie!"
Hun Tiandi laughed strangely. With a thought, his Blood Shadow Clone began searching for the holy flower. Such a thing held a fatal attraction for magical beasts with snake or dragon bloodlines.
Additionally, according to information from the Blood Shadow Clone, Jian Wuchen and Senior Sister Liu Hanbing had entered a mysterious stone cave. It seemed they had a goal this time.
Without further delay, the two continued their investigation to find Mei Niang, Liu Ling, and the others.
In these peril-filled mountains, only by gathering their forces would they feel secure.
Rumble!
Tu Xingzi's body surged with deep yellow Dou Qi, forming a massive defense as he crashed toward a Flood Dragon. This scene fell into the eyes of Yan Xing and Liu Ling.
Both were astonished and said, "Is the Earth Emperor's combat style this fierce?"
"Exactly. In the next battle, just let Tu Xingzi activate his defense and crush them!"
Yan Xing suggested.
Having recovered his strength, Tu Xingzi seemed to be holding back a surge of hostility. After entering the True Dragon Tomb, he began fighting frantically.
However, Tu Xingzi wasn't war-hungry; he was tempering his own Dou Qi and constitution.
After consuming the ten-thousand-year stone milk earlier, his cultivation had broken through. To stabilize it on his own would take time, so he could only take a risky path—tempering himself through life-and-death battles.
As a cultivator, he naturally knew that if his strength skyrocketed and his Dou Qi became unstable, it would affect his future path as a powerhouse if not tempered.
Roar!
Tu Xingzi's eyes widened in anger. Deep yellow Dou Qi surged out, transforming into two massive energy handprints that grabbed the Flood Dragon's head and tail!
Puchi!
With a sudden exert of force, the muffled sound of flesh being torn apart was heard. Flood Dragon blood splattered everywhere, making him look as if he had stepped out of a sea of blood.
The Flood Dragon wailed in pain, its tail shaking violently.
Tu Xingzi snorted coldly. Two energy handprints descended from the sky, slamming onto the snake's head and tail, crushing them into pulp!
