Chapter 120: Chapter 86: Xiao Jia???_2

A tremendous surge of spiritual energy burst forth, the outer perimeter of this once mortal city immediately imbued with a profound aura.

This spiritual energy lingered, its dense presence expected to remain in these parts for decades to come.

Common people who reside here would find themselves free from all ailments and graced with longevity.

Some solitary cultivators would choose to build their huts here for cultivation purposes.

"It’s fragrant." Qi Yuan was indifferent to the spiritual energy here, considering it was less abundant than that found on the Seven-colored Peak.

The Celestial Dragon Immortal Realm had been initiated, a rich fragrance pervading the air.

Qi Yuan caught a strong whiff of floral scent.

At this moment, Dongxian by his side explained, "The Celestial Dragon Immortal Realm is said to be a secret realm from beyond our territories.

For some reason, it drifted over to our Great Merchant Kingdom.

This secret realm is filled with the chirping of birds and the aroma of flowers, encompassing all kinds of exotic plants and herbs.

A thousand years ago, when our ancestors of the Great Merchant Kingdom first entered the realm, they came upon a crystal coffin. Inside this coffin, a peculiar creature was slumbering.

This unique creature was suspected by our forefathers to be the master of this secret realm.

Regrettably, despite our forefathers expending a great deal of effort, they were unable to open the crystal coffin.

They even seemed to have triggered the formation around the crystal coffin, resulting in its teleportation.

I wonder if we will encounter that crystal coffin again in this Celestial Dragon Immortal realm.

It should be the most precious treasure within the Celestial Dragon Immortal Realm. Whoever acquires it will likely become the sovereign of the Great Merchant Kingdom."

Some of these facts Dongxian knew from the royal annals, while others were shared by Master Qi, such as the origin of the Celestial Dragon Immortal Realm being from realms beyond.

After all, the Great Merchant Kingdom’s acquisition of the Celestial Dragon Immortal Realm would have undoubtedly caught the attention of other major forces. Leading figures from these forces had come to the Celestial Dragon Immortal Realm and concluded that it came from realms beyond.

In the Vast Wave Realm, it was not uncommon for Immortal Realms from outer regions to drift in.

"All I can do is try my best to help you seize the precious treasures." At the moment, all Qi Yuan could think about was his Polang of Moonlight. He didn’t have much concern for the royal treasury of the Great Merchant Kingdom.

"Thank you, Senior Brother." Dongxian was incredibly excited. He knew that Qi Yuan was powerful, and the cleaver he wielded was a supreme treasure. With it, Qi Yuan could probably contend with a Yuan Dan cultivator.

Unless something unexpected happened, he would have a high chance of winning the Dragon Seizing Competition.

However, at this moment, Master Qi secretly communicated, "Don’t rejoice too soon. That Foundation Establishment cultivator named Polang is incredibly strong. He could probably make it onto the Eastern Land Talent List and even defeat a Yuan Dan cultivator of a higher tier."

"What?" Upon hearing this, Dongxian felt somewhat uneasy.

Then, all the princes began entering the Celestial Dragon Immortal Realm one after another.

"Dear Qi Yuan, why have you been so distant from your sister these past few days?" A coquettish voice approached as Lu Fei passed by Qi Yuan.

"Who are you? I don’t know you." Qi Yuan responded calmly.

Since she no longer played the role of his Polang of Moonlight, they might as well be strangers. The best course of action was for them to keep their distance.

As for those who, after breaking up, still occasionally engage in intimacy out of so-called friendship, Qi Yuan found it distasteful.

The smile on Lu Fei’s face slightly stiffened, but she teased, "Isn’t dear Qi Yuan fond of watching your sister? Once we enter the secret realm, your sister will let you have your fill."

As she said this, she deliberately lifted her chest to make it appear even more voluptuous.

Qi Yuan glanced at her but wasn’t interested.

Even the Sword Immortal from the gaming jade slip that Dongxian showed him looked better.

"I don’t know you. Please stop bothering me." Especially after considering how terrifying the "Method of the Dark Maiden" was, Qi Yuan didn’t want to become too entangled with Lu Fei.

Upon hearing Qi Yuan’s words, the smile on Lu Fei’s face completely froze: "I’ll remember you."

The last person who said this to Qi Yuan was Polang.

After hearing Lu Fei’s words, Qi Yuan was somewhat helpless: "I wish you wouldn’t."

He only wished for his Polang of Moonlight to remember him.

With a resentful glare, Lu Fei walked away. Qi Yuan saw Polang amidst the crowd entering the Celestial Dragon Immortal Realm, and he heaved a sigh of relief.

He was worried that Polang wouldn’t be entering the Celestial Dragon Immortal Realm.

"Senior Brother, please follow me," Dongxian said then, his face bursting with joy.

"Let’s go!" Kang Fulu also shouted out loud.

Qi Yuan, Dongxian, and Kang Fulu entered the Celestial Dragon Immortal Realm together.

A forest filled with the chirping of birds and sweet smell of flowers greeted their eyes.

Huge trees reached for the sky, their bases surrounded by a murmuring stream.

All the princes had been individually teleported into the Celestial Dragon Immortal Realm. Thus, it was quiet around Qi Yuan, except for Dongxian and Kang Fulu.

Qi Yuan checked the jade slip from his own Shenhua Assembly.

He wore a disappointed look.

He wasn’t able to communicate with other members of the Shenhua Assembly.

At this point, Kang Fulu wore a complicated expression on his face. He turned to Dongxian and said, "There’s something I need to tell you."

Upon hearing this, Dong Xian hurriedly replied, "Please, do tell, Senior Brother."

"Your father the Emperor passed away last night.

This matter is being suppressed by the collaboration of our three major sects, temporarily withheld from public knowledge to prevent complications during the succession struggle."

Dong Xian stood frozen.

His emperor father was dead?

Although he had no particular attachment to his father, and indeed had met him fewer times than he had Master True Dryad, that man was still nominally his father.

Hearing this news, he felt lost.

"Thank you for informing me, Brother. This won’t affect me!" Dong Xian’s mood shifted quickly.

Qi Yuan fell into a moment of stupor.

At the time, he had taken a quick look at the Old Emperor. The information he received stated the Old Emperor had about a month left to live.

The fact that he died within two days was unexpected.

There must have been a mishap. Could it be that the Sect Master and the Queen were caught in the act by the Old Emperor, forcing the Sect Master to kill him?

Qi Yuan speculated maliciously.

He hastily discarded this idea as he had no evidence to back it up.

No one spoke up about this issue again, and Kang Fulu, with his white hair, took a deep breath of the concentrated spiritual energy. "The spiritual energy here is even more potent than in Wu Guang Peak. No wonder a thousand years ago, the Great Shang rose to prominence instantly after acquiring the Celestial Dragon Paradise."

Qi Yuan agreed readily.

Cultivating in the Celestial Dragon Paradise, his progress was faster than in Seven Colors Peak. He estimated he could reach the mid-term of the Foundation Establishment stage in merely two or three years.

However, for Qi Yuan, this was still too slow.

It would be better to kill and fight in the game.

"Where spiritual energy is potent, the chance of encountering valuable natural resources is higher. We must continue deeper into the secret realm," Kang Fulu said.

Both Qi Yuan and Dong Xian concurred.

The deeper into the secret realm, the more valuable things they would find Qi Yuan hoped he would encounter his moonflower there.

Meanwhile, at the deepest part of the Celestial Dragon Sanctuary, spiritual energy gushed out, like swirling smoke.

In the middle of a pond, it seemed like a spiritual substance that was constantly flowing.

In the centre of the pond was a crystal coffin.

The crystal coffin, having endured the test of time, emitted a vast and stunning aura.

Inside the coffin surprisingly lay... a petite and delicate bridal gown.

Any cultivator who came here would feel that this bridal gown was not a mere garment, but a creature with a spiritual essence.

...

"So many good things here," Qi Yuan commented as he roamed the Celestial Dragon Paradise.

He stopped and plucked a mushroom.

This mushroom, known as the Spirit Spray Mushroom, could absorb thin spiritual energy and expel concentrated spiritual energy and was worth several spirit stones.

Qi Yuan, acting like a little girl picking mushrooms, plucked a dozen in a short time.

Dong Xian’s eyes flashed with greed.

If this Celestial Dragon Sanctuary belonged to him, he would definitely have the chance to reach the Divine Infant State quickly, and perhaps even the Purple Mansion Realm.

However, he quickly dismissed this thought.

After all, this second Celestial Dragon Sanctuary was not under the control of the royal family, but the three major sects.

"Let’s move on. There must be better things further in," said Kang Fulu.

The group continued to journey deeper into the secret realm.

Suddenly, Dong Xian stopped: "A corpse?"

In the distance, there lay a corpse.

All three of them halted.

Surprisingly, there were three bodies on the ground: "Fifth Brother?"

Dong Xian recognized the man in python robe as his fifth brother.

"Regret Dragon Hand?" Dong Xian lifted his fifth brother’s python robe and saw the golden palm print on his stomach, revealing a look of loss.

The Regret Dragon Hand was the royal family of the Great Shang’s closely guarded secret technique. Every prince had to practice it.

Discovering the traces of the Regret Dragon Hand on his fifth brother’s body meant that his brother had been murdered by siblings.

This incident happened upon their arrival at the Celestial Dragon Sanctuary, and Dong Xian’s feelings were unimaginable.

Meanwhile, Kang Fulu squinted his eyes. He recognized the other two bodies on the ground.
