292: The formation under the Dragon Palace

“Congratulations, Saint, on your great increase in power!”

“Congratulations, Saint, on your great increase in power!”

“.......”

All the Tai Xuan Sect Disciples bowed, their eyes filled with fervent admiration.

Su Changqing’s strength had increased once more, and they revered him as a god.

“There’s no need for such formality, everyone.”

Su Changqing smiled faintly.

Then, he put away the Heavenly Blood Vine and approached Ancestor Xuan, speaking, “Ancestor Xuan, I’ll leave the cleanup of this battlefield to you. I’m going to the Dragon Palace first to take a look.”

With all the Dragon Clan Experts out, there shouldn’t be any formidable opponents inside.

However, a vast Dragon Palace naturally held many treasures, and there might even be some good things, so Su Changqing didn’t plan to miss out and prepared to enter the Dragon Palace to investigate.

“Alright, don’t worry, Changqing, leaving it to me here is no problem.”

Ancestor Xuan said with a smile.

Su Changqing nodded, then his figure flashed, heading straight into the East Sea Dragon Palace.

Deep within the East Sea, it was immensely vast, containing many Sea Clan Martial Artists, but most of them were too weak in cultivation. Su Changqing wasn’t interested in these fellows; with a casual wave of his hand, he slaughtered them all.

His gaze narrowed slightly as he directly arrived at the Dragon Palace.

The Dragon Palace was built extremely luxuriously. As he stepped into it, a rich Spiritual Qi surged in, but he paid it no mind and continued forward.

Soon!

At Su Changqing’s speed, in just fifteen minutes, he had thoroughly searched the entire Dragon Palace, collecting countless Emperor Weapons into his spatial storage.

These Emperor Weapons were somewhat low-grade for him, but for the Martial Artists of the Tai Xuan Sect, they were rare treasures.

“Hmm?”

“There seems to be a secret chamber here?”

Su Changqing arrived at the Dragon King’s main hall. His Divine Sense spread out, detecting something amiss behind the Dragon Throne; it seemed there was something else back there.

Without hesitation, he took a step and arrived at the Dragon Throne.

Behind it was a wall, entirely constructed from high-grade Heavenly Profound Crystal Stone, incredibly luxurious and with extremely strong defensive capabilities.

“It looks like there’s something extraordinary behind this, it should be the Dragon King’s treasure vault.”

“If I were to use brute force to shatter this place, there’s no guarantee that the treasures behind it wouldn’t be destroyed.”

Su Changqing was silent for a moment, frowning slightly. Then, he suddenly pulled out the Dragon Pearl from the Dragon King’s body.

Since this Dragon Pearl was a supreme treasure of the Dragon Clan and was held by the Dragon King, it might just be the key to opening the secret chamber behind this Dragon Throne!

As expected!

The moment Su Changqing took out the Dragon Pearl, the secret chamber behind the Dragon Throne suddenly opened.

A hint of joy appeared on Su Changqing’s face, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly upwards. But to be safe, he didn’t step directly inside. Instead, he released a Saint Rank Puppet and had it enter on his behalf.

The Puppet entered without encountering any danger, and only then did Su Changqing quickly step inside.

The secret chamber wasn’t large, and its surroundings were quite dim.

It was empty, with almost nothing inside, only an... Array Core?

Su Changqing was immediately startled.

“Could it be that this vast Dragon Palace is a Formation?”

A hint of shock flickered in Su Changqing’s eyes.

No!

Perhaps it wasn’t just the Dragon Palace, but the entire East Sea, which might be an extremely vast Formation.

Thinking of this, Su Changqing gasped.

Such a grand undertaking, who could have done it?

As a Ten-Rank Formation Master, Su Changqing knew that he was utterly incapable of setting up such a Formation.

Suddenly, System Bro’s voice rang in his ear.

“Ding, congratulations to the Host for discovering the Demon Locking Great Formation. This Formation uses the East Sea as its array diagram, locking the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi to suppress the undersea demon, Wuzhiqi!”

Undersea demon?

Wuzhiqi?

Su Changqing was suddenly stunned.

He naturally wouldn’t doubt the System’s information.

There really was a monster at the bottom of the sea.

[Option One: Pretend nothing happened. Reward: Colossus Hammer (Immortal Rank)]

[Option Two: Reinforce the Seal to prevent Wuzhiqi from escaping. Reward: Ten Immortal Rank Martial Arts Manuals]

[Option Three: Devour Wuzhiqi and gain his abilities. Reward: Sword of Lvxian, Sword of Zhuxian, Sword of Xianxian, Sword of Juexian]

Looking at System Bro’s three options, Su Changqing fell silent.

He was contemplating.

Wuzhiqi being suppressed in the East Sea didn’t mean he was weak; on the contrary, the fact that such a Formation was used to suppress him absolutely indicated his extreme power.

The best approach was to pretend nothing happened. This way, it wouldn’t affect his future, and he could also obtain an Immortal Artifact.

Reinforcing the Seal was also a good option; ten Immortal Rank Martial Arts Manuals were absolutely terrifying.

However, with Su Changqing’s Formation mastery, reinforcing this Seal would likely require him to continue comprehending the Dao of Formations and achieve a Breakthrough.

Therefore, this option couldn’t be carried out in the short term.

As for the third one.

It was the most difficult, but also offered the greatest benefits!

A legendary existence like Wuzhiqi was undoubtedly extremely powerful. If he could devour him, his strength would surely skyrocket, and his various abilities would definitely see terrifying improvements.

Moreover, there were peerless Immortal Artifacts like the Sword of Lvxian, Sword of Zhuxian, Sword of Xianxian, and Sword of Juexian.

Although these four longswords, like the Colossus Hammer, were Immortal Artifacts, Su Changqing knew that Immortal Artifacts also had Rank distinctions.

These four Immortal Artifacts were absolutely among the top of the top.

It was just that, perhaps because he hadn’t broken through to the Immortal Realm, the System didn’t display the Rank levels of the Immortal Artifacts he obtained.

Furthermore, Su Changqing knew that the Sword of Lvxian, Sword of Zhuxian, Sword of Xianxian, and Sword of Juexian were not single Immortal Artifacts.

If these four Immortal Artifacts could be gathered to form the Zhuxian Sword Formation, its power would be terrifying, going without saying. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say it was invincible among peers.

He naturally coveted such peerless treasures.

Therefore, after only a moment of thought, Su Changqing made his decision.

“First, I’ll investigate Wuzhiqi’s condition and strength. If it’s impossible, then I’ll prepare to Seal him. If it’s feasible, I’ll devour him.”

Su Changqing immediately made up his mind.

This way, it would be more secure.

Following this, he used the Array Core to find the place where Wuzhiqi was suppressed.

This was the area beneath the East Sea Dragon Palace.

Eternal darkness reigned, with no sunlight or moonlight to be seen.

Countless chains hung in the air, as if sealing some terrifying existence.

As soon as he entered this place, Su Changqing felt a chilling coldness spread over him.

It was important to note that as an Emperor Realm Expert, under normal circumstances, he should not have such a feeling.

But at this moment, he actually felt this way, which was simply inconceivable.

Suddenly!

He heard a roar.

Su Changqing looked up, and several meters above, a monkey face appeared.

That face was filled with rage. He frantically shook the chains, roaring, his words filled with dissatisfaction.

“Who are you, to come here? Where is Ao Guang, that good-for-nothing?”

Wuzhiqi stared at Su Changqing, a hint of coldness flickering in his eyes.

He had been imprisoned here for countless years, so long that he himself couldn’t remember.

For a very long time, only the Dragon King Ao Guang had contact with him.
