Chapter 693 Dragon-headed Cane, a Symbol of Male Immortals
Senior Brother, how exactly did you raise such a monster?
Just as the clouds were filled with an overwhelming sense of awe, so too did the scene unfold.
Yang Jian turned around.
He walked up to Yunxiao, scratched his head, and asked in a tone that carried a hint of self-satisfaction.
"Uncle-Master, how was my performance?"
Yang Jian's voice pulled Yunxiao back from her immense shock.
Looking at her junior apprentice, whose face held a hint of youthful smugness, she was momentarily speechless.
good?
That's more than just okay!
This is absolutely outrageous!
With the cultivation level of a late-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal, he could instantly kill an ancient ferocious beast of the same level, especially one that had revealed its true form!
Even if she herself faced that hydra demon, although she was confident she could win, at most she could only severely injure or repel it.
It's simply impossible to completely eradicate it from its root like Yang Jian did!
The eldest brother's disciple is indeed a monster who cannot be judged by common sense, just like his eldest brother!
Yunxiao took a deep breath, forcibly calming her still wildly beating heart.
She reached out her slender hand and gently patted Yang Jian's shoulder, her gentle, beautiful eyes filled with undisguised praise and admiration.
"It's more than just 'okay'."
"Nephew, you have truly broadened my horizons."
"It seems that from now on, I will have to rely on you to protect me when I'm out and about."
She said it half-jokingly.
Hearing Yunxiao's praise, Yang Jian was overjoyed.
Gaining the approval of this gentle yet powerful Uncle Yunxiao was more fulfilling for him than killing ten Great Luo Golden Immortals.
"Hehe, Uncle-Master is joking."
"Protecting my martial uncle is my duty!"
Yang Jian patted his chest and made a solemn promise.
Seeing Yang Jian's smug expression, as if he had gotten a good deal but was still acting innocent, Yunxiao couldn't help but chuckle again.
She discovered that although her junior apprentice was incredibly strong, he still retained some of the purity of a young person, which was quite interesting.
"Alright, stop joking around."
Yunxiao extended her jade-like finger and tapped Yang Jian's forehead.
"That attack just now must have taken a toll on you, right? Take a moment to recover."
"This amount of consumption is nothing."
Yang Jian waved his hand dismissively and said.
His physical strength and blood energy were so immense, and his magical power recovered so quickly, that it far exceeded the imagination of ordinary people.
Although the Heavenly Eye Annihilation Divine Light just now drained nearly 30% of his magical power, he has already recovered almost completely in just a short while.
"Uncle-Master, let's get down to business!"
Yang Jian's gaze once again fell upon the vast and boundless primeval forest, his eyes gleaming with the light of a hungry wolf.
Although the battle just now was short, it was quite a big one.
The terrifying energy storm alone destroyed all the spiritual herbs and roots within a radius of a hundred miles.
Yang Jian looked at those priceless treasures that had turned to ashes, and his heart ached so much that he choked with pain.
These are all incredibly fortunate opportunities!
We can't waste any more!
I have to hurry and stuff them all into my pockets!
Looking at Yang Jian's greedy and greedy appearance, Yunxiao was both annoyed and amused.
She shook her head and said, "You..."
However, she didn't say anything more.
Just as Yang Jian thought, it was not advisable to stay here for long, lest things get complicated.
"Let's go."
Yunxiao waved her hand.
"Now that there are no more flies to bother us, this entire Yingzhou continent is ours."
"Let's do it!"
At a command.
An unprecedented sweep has officially begun!
Yang Jian didn't care about the year or the rank.
As long as it could emit light and possessed spiritual energy, he stuffed it, roots and all, into his storage magic treasure!
"Jadeite Grass! Good stuff! I'll take it!"
"Nine Yang Fire Fruit! I've struck gold! I'm in!"
"Huh? What's this? Whatever! It looks valuable! I'll take it!"
Yang Jian's hand speed was so fast that afterimages appeared.
Wherever it goes, not a blade of grass grows!
It's cleaner than when locusts pass through!
Looking at Yang Jian's posture, which seemed to want to scrape the ground three feet high, Yunxiao couldn't help but feel both amused and exasperated.
However, she did not stop it.
Anyway, these are all unclaimed items, so why not take them?
Although she wasn't as extravagant as Yang Jian, she carefully harvested and stored away some spiritual roots that were beneficial to her cultivation or were particularly old.
The two were like a whirlwind sweeping away clouds, and like someone strolling leisurely in a courtyard.
The efficiency, however, is surprisingly high.
It only took half a day.
This vast primeval forest, which had existed for countless millennia, has been completely transformed.
The lush, verdant, and ethereal scene has vanished.
In its place lies a patch of pitted, scarred yellow earth.
Not even a blade of grass taller than a foot could be found.
Yang Jian patted his storage magic treasure, which was almost bursting at the seams, with a satisfied expression.
Cool!
So cool!
This harvest is more than he has gained in the past few hundred years combined!
He felt that he had become rich overnight!
"Uncle-Master, it seems there's nothing left here."
Yang Jian flew to Yunxiao's side and said with some lingering interest.
Yunxiao rolled her eyes at him.
"How dare you say that?"
"If you keep plundering, this continent will probably be dug through by you."
Although he said that, Yunxiao had a satisfied smile on his face.
She also gained a lot from this trip to Yingzhou.
Most importantly, she also found several innate water-elemental spiritual roots that could be used to refine the banners of the Nine Turns Yellow River Formation, which was the biggest surprise for her.
"Alright, it's about time."
"We should go back and reunite with Senior Sister Wudang and the others."
Yunxiao glanced at the sky and spoke.
"Okay!"
Upon hearing this, Yang Jian's spirits lifted.
He was already eager to see what his other senior uncles and senior brothers had gained.
I wonder if there are others with more than I do?
Without further delay, the two transformed into two streaks of light, soaring into the sky and leaving the Yingzhou continent, which they had already thoroughly searched.
We traveled through the vast starry sky for a while.
That chaotic sea of clouds, which serves as the meeting point, is already in sight in the distance.
From afar, Yang Jian could see several familiar figures already standing above the sea of clouds.
Indeed, it was the Holy Mother Wudang, the True Man Yuding, and their two senior uncles, Bixiao and Qiongxiao.
They had already returned ahead of us.
"Big sister! Yang Jian! You're finally back!"
Before Yang Jian and Yunxiaofei could get close, a clear and lively voice came from afar.
There stood the Fairy Bixiao, waving frantically at them from a cloud of auspicious light, her face beaming with an excited smile.
Beside her, Fairy Qiongxiao remained aloof and cold, but the slight upturn of her lips betrayed her good mood.
On the other side, Master Yuding was stroking his beard, a faint hint of smugness on his face.
As for the Holy Mother of Wudang, she still had that icy demeanor that kept strangers at bay. However, deep within her eyes, which were brighter than the stars, there was also a glimmer of satisfaction.
Yang Jian and Yunxiao exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of a smile in each other's eyes.
It seems that everyone has had a pretty good time this time.
The two sped up and soon flew to the crowd.
"Greetings to Senior Uncle Wudang and Senior Uncle Yuding."
Yang Jian bowed respectfully to the two of them.
"Haha, Junior Nephew Yang Jian, no need for such formalities."
Uncharacteristically, Master Yu Ding warmly helped Yang Jian up and patted him on the shoulder affectionately.
"Big sister, how's it going over there? Any good stuff?"
Bixiao didn't have as many thoughts as Master Yuding. As soon as she arrived, she grabbed Yunxiao's hand and kept asking questions.
Before Yunxiao could answer, she proudly pulled out a large pile of gleaming ores and metals from her storage magic treasure.
"Look! This is what I found on that continent where sword energy soars to the heavens!"
"Gengjin Divine Iron! Taibai Refined Gold! And this piece, Star Meteorite Iron!"
"These are all excellent materials for refining top-grade innate spiritual treasures!"
Bixiao's face was practically screaming "Praise me!"
"Hmph, they're just some materials for refining weapons."
Upon hearing this, Master Yuding couldn't help but let out a soft snort.
He slowly took out a simple, unadorned three-foot-long sword from his sleeve.
The moment the longsword appeared, the surrounding space seemed to groan in agony, as if it could not bear the weight of the impact.
A terrifying sword intent, sharp enough to sever cause and effect, emanated from the sword.
"A superior-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Dust-Slaying Sword."
Master Yu Ding casually announced the name of the sword, his tone as indifferent as if he had simply picked up a stone from the roadside.
But his undisguised smugness was obvious to everyone.
Bixiao's lips immediately pouted.
Compared to this genuine top-grade innate spiritual treasure, the divine iron in her hands suddenly seemed less appealing.
"Tch, what's so great about it?"
She muttered something under her breath.
Just then, Wudang, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up.
"Alright, we can catch up later."
Her gaze passed over the crowd and landed at the very center of this vast starry sky.
There, a colossal continent, larger and more magnificent than all the other continents combined, floats silently.
On that continent, the celestial energy was so dense that it transformed into tangible purple auspicious clouds.
Faintly visible amidst the auspicious clouds are magnificent, golden palaces and towering buildings, appearing and disappearing in the air.
An aura more vast and noble than anywhere else before emanated from there.
"These outer continents are nothing more than the side halls that the Eastern King used to entertain guests and the back gardens where he planted flowers and plants."
The voice of the Virgin Mary of Wudang became solemn.
"That is the true core of the Purple Mansion Celestial Court!"
"Central Celestial Palace!"
She stretched out her finger, pointing to that celestial palace, her eyes gleaming with an unprecedented, fervent light.
"Let's go, let's go to the main hall!"
"The true treasure of the Eastern King Duke, his life's collection, and that legendary treasure are surely hidden inside!"
"A legendary treasure?"
Bixiao's eyes lit up instantly.
She grabbed Wudang Shengmu's arm and asked eagerly, "Senior Sister, what kind of treasure is it? Could it be... a primordial treasure?"
In the primordial world, apart from a few innate treasures that awe the heavens and acquired treasures of merit, there are no other things that can be called "supreme treasures".
Could it be that this small Purple Mansion Immortal Court actually hides a previously unknown innate treasure?
If this news gets out, even the Emperor himself might not be able to sit still!
The Holy Mother of Wudang shook her head, her expression still solemn.
"All I know is that the reason why the Eastern King Duke was able to integrate the male immortals of the primordial world and establish the powerful Purple Mansion Immortal Court in such a short time was not only because of the title personally bestowed by the Dao Ancestor, but more importantly because he possessed a treasure of immense power."
"That treasure was personally bestowed upon him by Dao Ancestor Hongjun at the Treasure Distribution Rock."
"It is said that this treasure originated from a top-tier innate spiritual root at the very beginning of the primordial world. The dragon-headed staff it transformed into is at least at the peak of a supreme innate spiritual treasure, and may even have touched the threshold of an innate supreme treasure!"
Dragon head cane!
Upon hearing this name, Master Yu Ding's pupils contracted sharply.
He had also heard his master mention the legend of this treasure while under the tutelage of Yuanshi Tianzun.
This treasure is not only incredibly powerful, but more importantly, it symbolizes the status of the head of male immortals, as recognized by the Dao Ancestor!
Whoever obtains this treasure will be able to command all the male immortals in the world!
Although, with the death of the Eastern King Duke, this decree has long since become a mere formality.
However, the immense fortune and supreme authority represented by the dragon-headed staff are still enough to drive any Great Luo Golden Immortal crazy!
"Good heavens, a dragon-headed staff!"
Bixiao couldn't help but swallow.
"If I could get my hands on this treasure, wouldn't that mean that all the male immortals in the primordial world would have to listen to me from now on?"
She imagined herself holding a dragon-headed staff, giving a command, and the magnificent scene of ten thousand immortals coming to pay homage. Her mouth was practically watering.
"You wish!"
Qiongxiao, who was standing to the side, unusually spoke up and poured cold water on her enthusiasm.
"Such a treasure, how could it be obtained so easily?"
"That Central Immortal Palace is the old lair of the Eastern King Duke. It must be full of traps and arrays, and may even contain remnants of resentment and guardians left over from the great battle."
"Its danger level is probably more than ten times higher than any of the continents we've visited before!"
Qiongxiao's words instantly calmed Bixiao, who had been acting impulsively.
Yes, the more precious the treasure, the stronger the power protecting it.
This is an eternal truth.
"Junior Sister Qiongxiao is right."
Master Yu Ding nodded, a solemn expression on his face.
"That Central Celestial Palace is no ordinary place."
"Moreover, the Asura clan of the Blood Sea and those bald monks of the Western Sect have definitely already set their sights on that place."
"At that time, we will not only have to face the dangers of the Celestial Palace itself, but also be wary of their sneak attacks and robberies."
"This trip is destined to be anything but peaceful."
Everyone's mood became somewhat heavy.
Opportunity may be good, but you also need to be alive to seize it.
Just then, Yang Jian, who hadn't said much, suddenly spoke up.
Fortune favors the bold.
