36: Mistaking the golden dragon for a treasure-hunting rat, the master is truly wicked!

"For the Yao Race to make such a grand display, there is definitely something wrong with this great tomb!"

Su Zihan gazed at the boundless primitive Secret Realm before her, her expression solemn to the extreme as she instantly made a bold guess:

"If I am not mistaken, this place is by no means an ordinary tomb, but a Small World opened within the body of the tomb's owner before they fell! To possess such a complete and vibrant Small World, the owner must have been at least at the Saint Demon King level when they were alive!"

"That Golden Jiao was so impatient to enter the Secret Realm; he must have some understanding of this place. Once he obtains the great Opportunity here, we will be in danger!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Fang Qingyao and Liu Changxi, who were beside her, both looked grave, realizing the severity of the situation.

"A Yao Race Saint King?!"

A Saint Demon King was a peerless powerhouse comparable to a Grand Elder of the Taiyi Holy Land.

They could even rule over a poor Dao province, remaining invincible across a territory of ten billion miles!

The Opportunity left behind by such a powerhouse was enough to lead them to their deaths!

"A Saint Demon King? Then I've truly come to the right place."

With the elevation of his Realm, Xu Jinhuan had also gained some understanding of the subsequent Realms.

After the eight Transcendent Realms, the path was divided into two stages: the God Realm and the Saint Realm, each consisting of four major Realms.

From lowest to highest, they were:

Spirit God, Heavenly God, God King, Great God King, Half-Saint, Saint, Saint King, and Great Saint.

Among them, the Half-Saint Realm was a transitional stage, and there were differing opinions on whether it belonged to the Saint Realm.

Half-Saints frequently labeled themselves as Saint Realm experts.

However, those truly in the Saint Realm looked down upon the Half-Saint Realm.

In short, it was a state of 'Are you a Saint Realm expert? I think I am.'

And a Saint Demon King was precisely a Yao Race powerhouse at the Saint King level!

Such news made The Three Women feel as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

However, for Xu Jinhuan, it was actually good news.

In a tomb left by such a being, the probability of immortal beast essence blood or an ancient divine soul appearing would be greatly increased,

which perfectly suited his cultivation needs!

"Young Master, which way should we go next?"

Liu Changxi and Fang Qingyao looked toward Xu Jinhuan.

This man had already become the pillar of support for the two women. Now that they had arrived in a completely unfamiliar environment, they instinctively looked to him for guidance.

Regarding this question, Xu Jinhuan gave a slight smile.

"It's very simple; we just need to find that Little Loach."

"But a Saint King's Small World is vast, spanning hundreds of millions of miles, and it even suppresses Divine Sense, allowing us to only check a ten-mile radius. Trying to find someone in such a large space is no different from looking for a needle in a haystack."

Su Zihan was filled with confusion.

She didn't understand why this man could say such an unprecedented thing with such confidence.

"Junior Sister Su, don't worry. Since the Young Master said so, he must have a way,"

Liu Changxi said with a smile.

After spending time together, she had developed a nearly blind adoration for Xu Jinhuan.

In her eyes, there was nothing this man couldn't do!

And the facts indeed proved it.

With just one look, he could improve the crystallization of wisdom that the Liu family had cultivated for tens of thousands of years.

This Comprehension Ability was already completely inhuman!

For such a man, let alone tracking a Golden Jiao across hundreds of millions of miles, even killing the opponent from a distance would not be impossible!

"Senior Sister Liu..."

Seeing Liu Changxi's infatuated look, Su Zihan shook her head inwardly.

Sigh, this woman has been blinded by handsomeness.

She's beyond help.

Sensing the doubt in the depths of Su Zihan's eyes, Xu Jinhuan did not explain much.

Facts speak louder than words.

Moreover, this woman couldn't trigger a Sign-in, so he had no desire to communicate with her excessively.

In the next moment!

A sudden phenomenon occurred!

Ten thousand rays of golden light suddenly shot out from Xu Jinhuan's eyes, piercing straight into the clouds!

The Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth gathered frantically toward his eyes, transforming into two surging golden rivers of spirit that surrounded his body!

Deep within his eyes, dense golden runes rapidly emerged, intertwined, and rotated, outlining an illusory golden pupil.

Within the golden pupil, seven stars floated, like the Big Dipper hanging in the sky, emitting a Supreme and peerless Dao charm!

Seven Star Divine Ability, Double Pupil Technique!

At this moment, his eyes seemed to have transformed into the Eyes of the Heavenly Dao, capable of seeing through illusions to reach the essence, and discerning the past to foresee the future!

Dense forests, fierce white tigers, towering mountains... a territory of hundreds of millions of miles was but a short distance in his eyes; mountains, rivers, and seas were all like the lines on a palm!

Everything, in the eyes of the current Xu Jinhuan, had nowhere to hide!

After scanning for a moment, the corners of Xu Jinhuan's mouth curled up slightly.

"Little Loach, I've found you!"

...The sea of clouds churned, and ten thousand rays of rosy light shone.

Deep within the Secret Realm, atop a snow-capped mountain, Ao Haotian's Golden Jiao body was coiled. The half-god power on his body had not yet been fully withdrawn, and his scales were covered in wounds.

Not far away was the carcass of a Yao Beast, which had been torn to pieces, its aura completely severed.

And before Ao Haotian, an ancient Saint Medicine, entirely snow-white and emitting a thick aura of the Saint Dao, slowly floated, with visible Dao charm radiance flowing over its leaves.

Ten-Thousand-Year Saint Heart Grass!

This medicine was a Supreme treasure for strengthening the Physical Body. After taking it, one could reshape their heart meridians, temper their Physical Body Origin, and allow their vitality to undergo a heaven-turning, earth-shaking improvement!

Most importantly, this medicine contained a trace of Saint Dao power. After consuming it, the difficulty of breaking through to the Saint Realm would be greatly reduced!

"Hahaha! As expected of this Divine Son! With this Saint Heart Grass in hand, breaking through to the God Realm is just around the corner!"

Ao Haotian threw his head back and laughed, his eyes filled with smug satisfaction.

To obtain this single stalk of Saint Medicine, he had paid a great price, slaying the half-god level Yao spirit that guarded it.

Looking at the Saint Medicine before him, scenes of the future already emerged in Ao Haotian's mind:

After refining this medicine, his Physical Body strength would skyrocket, his power would approach the Divine Spirit Realm, and then he would seize the essence blood and divine soul left by the Saint Demon King to sublimate his Bloodline, becoming the biggest winner of the Secret Realm!

As for that arrogant human brat Xu Jinhuan, he would be stepped on, suffering all kinds of torture before being heartlessly slaughtered!

"Xu Jinhuan! Since you dared to publicly provoke me, I will surely grind your bones to ashes another day and let you know the terror of my Yao Race Prodigy!"

With the Qi in his body slightly calmed, Ao Haotian reached out his hand, intending to take this Supreme treasure into his possession.

However, an indifferent voice suddenly came from beyond the sea of clouds, causing his frantic laughter to freeze on the spot.

"Oh? Is that so? This sequence is right here; do you want to try now?"

Ao Haotian's face changed drastically, and he suddenly looked up.

Above the sea of clouds, a figure in white came stepping through the air, surrounded by Chaos spirit light, looking like a banished immortal from the Nine Heavens.

His eyes shone with golden light, the Double Pupil phenomenon not yet fully withdrawn, and a galaxy floated within his pupils, as if he could perceive all things and look down upon the heavens.

It was precisely the Xu Jinhuan he hated to the bone!

"Xu Jinhuan?! How could you find this place?!"

Ao Haotian was both shocked and furious, a storm raging in his heart as he completely failed to understand.

The Secret Realm spanned hundreds of millions of miles, and the teleportation landing points for Cultivators were random. Why could this human brat find him so precisely?

And it was precisely at this vulnerable moment after his fierce battle, when his Spiritual Qi was exhausted!

Too unlucky!

Without waiting for him to think further, Xu Jinhuan had already raised his hand. Chaos spirit power condensed at his fingertips, transforming into an ancient longsword. Runes flowed on the sword's body, and the Sword Qi was as sharp as frost as it pierced straight toward him!

The aura was extremely vigorous, and the spirit power was terrifying to the extreme.

It was like a piece of chaotic time and space falling into the mortal world!

"Not good!"

Ao Haotian was in a panic, golden light exploding from his body. Great Dao runes rapidly flowed over his scales as half-god power was instantly activated in an attempt to block the attack.

But that Sword Qi merely grazed his golden body, not harming him in the slightest, as it headed behind him.

Only then did he understand what Xu Jinhuan wanted to do.

This guy was clearly snatching the Saint Heart Grass!

"Stop!"

He roared and was about to move to block it, but everything was already too late.

The sword light flashed past, and the Saint Heart Grass was instantly severed.

Immediately after, Xu Jinhuan's palm appeared below it like a teleportation, catching it steadily.

Then, his figure blurred as he retreated to the edge of the sea of clouds, his movements as smooth as flowing water, all done in one go.

It was completely impossible to stop!

Ao Haotian could only watch everything happen with his own eyes, unable to do anything.

"My Saint Heart Grass!"

His eyes were nearly splitting, and he was shaking with rage.

The Supreme treasure he had spent countless efforts to obtain had actually been snatched away by Xu Jinhuan with a single sword strike. This was simply a humongous humiliation!

Powerlessness and humiliation surged from his heart.

At this moment, he was just like an incompetent husband... but amidst his burning fury, the terrifying combat power Xu Jinhuan had displayed earlier when he insta-killed five Peak Life and Death Realm experts suddenly flashed through his mind.

There were also those three women following behind him.

Ao Haotian's idea of a counterattack collapsed on the spot.

Forget it, anyway, there are many Opportunities in this Saint Demon King Secret Realm. Although the Saint Heart Grass is good, it's just an appetizer.

I'll just consider myself unlucky this time.

I can't possibly encounter this guy every time at a critical moment, right?

Once I find the immortal beast essence blood and divine soul to sublimate my Bloodline,

it will be the day this guy dies!

"Human ant!"

"Consider me unlucky this time! Next time we meet, I will surely kill you!"

As his voice fell, he no longer stayed. His ten-thousand-foot golden body transformed into a golden stream of light, quickly fleeing into the deeper parts of the Secret Realm and disappearing in the blink of an eye.

"..."

"This guy doesn't run fast, but his mouth is quite tough."

Xu Jinhuan gave a cold laugh, plucked a leaf from the Saint Heart Grass, put it in his mouth, and refined it on the spot.

Immediately, a warm current appeared near his heart, attempting to strengthen the flesh and fascia there.

But Xu Jinhuan possessed the Eternal Chaos Body, and his Physical Body was perfect, with no room for improvement.

These warm currents hit walls everywhere and finally could only scatter to various parts of his body, becoming nutrients for Xu Jinhuan's Physique.

"It can't even improve the Eternal Chaos Body; what a useless Saint Medicine!"

Saying that, he handed the Saint Heart Grass to Liu Changxi:

"Senior Sister Changxi, use this to heal Senior Sister Su first, then you all can split the rest to recover your combat power as quickly as possible."

"No need to worry about waste; the Little Loach will continuously provide us with this level of precious medicine."

Hearing this, Fang Qingyao instantly understood Xu Jinhuan's idea.

So her Lord had actually treated Ao Haotian as a treasure-hunting mouse, wanting to keep intercepting the other's Opportunities!

My Lord is truly too wicked!

But it was precisely such a Xu Jinhuan that made her heart flutter even more.

And Su Zihan, who was on the side, was already so shocked she was speechless, a storm raging in her heart.

Her mind was filled with only one question.

How did he do it?

In a Secret Realm of hundreds of millions of miles that blocks Divine Sense, even those in the God King Realm wouldn't dare to claim they could track someone over ten thousand miles.

The gaze Su Zihan used to look at Xu Jinhuan had completely changed.

There was no more doubt, replaced instead by awe and curiosity.

This man was like a bottomless abyss; the more one understood him, the more one could feel his unfathomable depth.

No wonder Senior Sister Liu is so willing to follow him!

At this moment, Su Zihan really wanted to ask a question.

Sequence Xu, are you still lacking followers?

But she could also feel that this man didn't seem to care about her, and the answer would likely disappoint her.

In the end, she still didn't have the courage to ask.

Some things, some longings, should just be left at this most beautiful stage.

The four of them stayed for a short while. After Su Zihan consumed part of the Saint Heart Grass, her injuries recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye, and her aura stabilized quite a bit.

"Let's go. That Little Loach hasn't run far; we'll continue to follow him."
