975: Chapter 976 Heading to the Treasure Pavilion

Her voice carried the unique seductiveness and ruthlessness of those on the Demonic Path:

"As long as Big Brother's schemes with the Demon Domain succeed! As long as my Heavenly Demon Sect joins forces with the Yao Race to completely annex this fertile Eastern Region!

At that time, the Yin Yang Sect will be nothing more than eggs in a toppled nest!

That Yao Delong, even if he luckily achieves a Breakthrough to Body Integration, will be nothing more than a slightly larger ant before the world-shaking might of my Heavenly Demon Sect! And you,"

She emphasized her tone, staring into Xin Yuelan's eyes,

"Are the Saintess of my Heavenly Demon Sect! Your status is supreme! When that time comes, how you want to crush him will be decided by a single word. Making him wish he were dead will be as easy as flipping a palm!"

Crush him? Make him wish he were dead?

Listening to her aunt's decisive words, Xin Yuelan felt no joy in her heart; instead, there was only a bitter coldness.

This wasn't the first time she had dealt with Yao Delong!

That guy was simply a monster who couldn't be judged by common sense!

"Aunt..." Her voice was dry, carrying a thick sense of lingering fear and powerlessness,

"What you're saying makes sense... but that Yao Delong... he's wicked!

For him, Bottlenecks simply don't exist in Cultivation!

The first time I saw him, he was merely at the Golden Core stage, being hunted by a Nascent Soul expert with nowhere to run... but the result?

He actually managed to escape using an endless stream of bizarre methods!"

"The second time, I had just broken through to Nascent Soul and was full of ambition! In the end, that kid... he had actually reached Soul Transformation!

And under the watchful eyes of the entire Eastern Region, with the posture of a Soul Transformation cultivator, he staged a Heaven-Defying slaughter against 'A-Da' from the Heaven Domain, who was so powerful it was despair-inducing!

That battle shattered the heavens and the earth, and it also shattered all of my pride..."

"This time, you tell me... he's at Void Refining Peak and can even withstand an attack from the Old Ancestor..."

Xin Yuelan looked up, her eyes filled only with deep exhaustion and fear,

"Aunt, how much time has passed? I'm really... really scared.

I'm afraid that before the Sect can annex the Eastern Region, he will become an existence we can't even imagine...

This Eastern Region is too dangerous; Yao Delong's shadow is everywhere... I want to go back to the Demon Domain and hide far away..."

Seeing her niece in this completely defeated state, looking like a wilted eggplant after a frost, Xin Yingying felt both heartache and irritation.

This child had truly been scared out of her wits by Yao Delong!

She took a deep breath, suppressed the irritation in her heart, and a sharp light flashed in her eyes as she put on an extremely doting smile:

"Alright, alright, my dear Lan'er! Look at how scared you are! Your aunt is here!"

She gently pulled Xin Yuelan's shoulder and said softly:

"Isn't he just a kid who had a bit of dumb luck? Why fear him!

Aunt promises you, during my next seclusion, I will break through to the Body Integration realm in one fell swoop!

At that time, never mind Yao Delong, I'll even dare to meet those old fellows of the Yin Yang Sect! I will surely vent this grievance for you!"

Sensing that Xin Yuelan was still uninterested, Xin Yingying changed the subject with a hint of temptation:

"Besides, staying cooped up in the Demon Palace all day isn't the way.

How about this? I happen to be heading to the Demon Domain on behalf of Big Brother soon to handle the follow-up matters of the alliance with the Yao Race.

Don't you love traveling and seeing the world's wonders?

The five regions of the Demon Domain have countless strange peaks, dangerous ravines, exotic beasts, rare birds, and ancient ruins. It's much more interesting than this foul Eastern Region battlefield!

Come, Aunt will take you to the Demon Domain to relax! Open your eyes to the world!"

"The Demon Domain?!" Xin Yuelan's dim, beautiful eyes were instantly ignited!

As if a clear spring had been injected into them, her curiosity for the unknown and her yearning for magnificent landscapes instantly diluted her fear of Yao Delong.

What she loved most was exploring the world's natural wonders!

"Really, Aunt? You'll take me? I haven't been to the Demon Domain yet!"

The gloom on her face vanished, replaced by the excited radiance unique to a young girl.

Seeing her niece finally smile, Xin Yingying also breathed a sigh of relief and affectionately pinched her cheek:

"Of course! When has Aunt ever lied to you? Alright, pack your things; we leave in a few days!

Let's go see what kind of scenery that wild Demon Domain has to offer!"

However, an imperceptible cold light flashed in her eyes. Relaxing?

She could also take the opportunity to scout out the several Great Imperial Clans of the Demon Domain for Big Brother!

The main peak of the Yin Yang Sect towered into the clouds, with Spiritual Qi as misty as a waterfall.

Yao Delong walked slowly, holding that simple and ancient "Xuangu Token."

Wherever he passed, the Disciples along the way, no matter what they were doing, all stopped and bowed respectfully, their eyes filled with fanaticism and awe.

"Senior Brother Yao!"

"Greetings, Dao Seed!"

"Greetings, Senior Brother Yao!"

The voices rose one after another, filled with heartfelt respect.

Yao Delong was already a living legend in the Yin Yang Sect, and even the entire Eastern Region!

When his Lifespan was nearly exhausted, he miraculously re-entered the path of the Dao, moving Heaven-Defyingly all the way from Qi Refining,

Climbing to the Void Refining Peak in just a few short years, with combat power that could shake the Body Integration stage!

His name itself represented an incredible miracle and supreme potential!

Facing the sincere greetings of many Disciples, Yao Delong did not act cold and aloof. Instead, a gentle smile played on his lips as he nodded slightly in acknowledgment.

This seemingly ordinary response was like throwing a huge rock into a calm lake!

"Heavens! Senior Brother Yao nodded at me!"

"Did you see? He just looked over here!"

"Senior Brother Yao is so handsome! He just smiled at me!"

Several young female Disciples were so excited their cheeks flushed red, hands over their hearts, eyes flashing with undisguised admiration and worship.

This approachability made his image in the Disciples' hearts incredibly grand.

Yao Delong walked calmly, heading straight toward the Treasure Pavilion.

The lower floors of the Treasure Pavilion were a bustling area for Sect Disciples to trade and exchange resources, crowded and noisy.

But with a slight flash of Yao Delong's identity jade plate, an invisible Restriction opened a path directly to the top floor for him.

Wherever he went, the clamor automatically died down, and countless pairs of reverent eyes followed his back.

The top floor of the Treasure Pavilion was silent, without a single human voice.

There were no heavy guards as one might imagine, only a huge jade wall as smooth as a mirror standing in the center.

In the very center of the jade wall was a groove, its shape perfectly matching the Xuangu Token in Yao Delong's hand.

"It seems this is the place." Yao Delong did not hesitate and embedded the Xuangu Token into the groove.

Buzz!

The jade wall suddenly lit up with a soft light, space energy fluctuated violently, and a water-like screen of light rippled across the jade wall.

Yao Delong understood; the Sect's true core treasures were indeed stored in an independent pocket dimension! He stepped into the light screen.

The scene before his eyes changed abruptly!

Even though Yao Delong was well-traveled and had a resolute mind, at this moment, he couldn't help but gasp, his mind shaken by the sight!

This wasn't a storehouse like he had imagined, but an indescribably magnificent palace that took one's breath away!

The ceiling was like the starry sky turned upside down, with countless stars rotating on their own, casting a dreamlike starlight;

The floor seemed to be paved with colored glaze, with liquid Spiritual Qi flowing across it; every step felt like walking on clouds;

Giant jade pillars carved with coiled dragons supported the heavens and earth, their dragon eyes embedded with extremely rare spirit crystals, emitting warm and majestic energy.

The air was filled with an indescribable aura of Law, with light and auspicious mists so dense they had almost solidified.
