The Lord of Void and Real
Chapter 1425

Chapter 1425: Chapter 1421: Compromise Chapter 1425: Chapter 1421: Compromise “Enough talking, I'll send you to Ao Hong now. You'd better behave and not pull any tricks,” Shen Luo said, not bothering to speak further with the Ancestral Dragon Soul and directly ordered.

“Good,” replied the Ancestral Dragon Soul joyfully, finally no longer having to deal with this crafty member of the Human Race.

Immediately following that, the Golden Dragon felt a lightness, and Mount Buzhou was moved away.

However, immediately after, a divine soul formed by charm patterns descended and wrapped around his body.

Resentment arose in the Ancestral Dragon Soul's heart, but as soon as he thought of Shen Luo noticing, he swiftly dispelled those resentful thoughts, comforting himself by thinking that at least it was more comfortable than having a mountain pressing on him.

As he was thinking this, a wave of divine soul enveloped him.

Next, a layer of white light shone on the body of the golden dragon and vanished from Shen Luo's Sea of Consciousness in an instant.

In the next moment, the Ancestral Dragon Soul reappeared in another Sea of Consciousness.

The Golden Dragon took a deep breath, stretched his body, and saw Ao Hong's divine soul in the form of a little figure walking step by step towards him.

“You are…”

The Ancestral Dragon Soul was about to reprimand this junior when he suddenly felt an immense force on his back, as if something had pressed down on him, and he unavoidably fell prostrate.

He hurriedly turned his head and saw a phantom of a mountain peak formed from shimmering light, seated upon his back, bearing the silhouette of Mount Buzhou.

This Mount Buzhou was nothing compared to the one used by Shen Luo, but the Ancestral Dragon Soul had been refined by Shen Luo with the Red Lotus Karmic Fire, and this mountain peak was more than enough to suppress him.

“Ancestor, due to special circumstances, please endure this for a moment…” Ao Hong, the divine soul in little form, stepped forward to greet the Ancestor with respect in his voice.

“Damned Human Race brat, I…”

Ao Hong no longer paid attention to the Ancestor's string of curses and slowly withdrew his divine soul from the Sea of Consciousness.

When Shen Luo taught the Suppressing God Technique to Ao Hong, Qing Chi had already arrived outside the Treasure Vault with the Dragon Palace garrison, but they were commanded by Ao Zhong to wait outside, not daring to enter.

Inside the Treasure Vault, Ao Hong picked up the Sink Blood Nine Dragons Pearl, which had its Ancestral Dragon Soul sealed away, and handed it to Shen Luo.

“Brother Shen, Father King had already agreed to lend you this pearl as a token of gratitude, and now that you have helped me with such a great favor, this Sink Blood Nine Dragons Pearl is given to you as a reward,” said Ao Hong.

“I'm only borrowing it for a little while, and afterwards…”

“There's no need to return it, consider it a gesture of my appreciation and a partial repayment for your kindness. You can't let me owe you too much, right?” Seeing that Shen Luo still wanted to return it, Ao Hong immediately waved his hand and spoke earnestly.

Seeing his resolute demeanor, Shen Luo couldn't refuse and accepted it, yet he was determined to return the pearl as soon as he repaired the jade pillow in his mind.

He also felt some doubts, wondering if the Sink Blood Nine Dragons Pearl, now devoid of the Ancestral Dragon Soul, could still be used to repair the jade pillow?

Fortunately, when he had previously suppressed the Ancestral Dragon Soul, he had not only refined the power of the dragon soul but also separated a part of the Ancestral Dragon God Soul force and not absorbed it for himself but had sealed it away.

If necessary, he could take it out and try.

The three of them walked out of the Treasure Vault covered in injuries, and Ao Zhong used the Dragon King Order dropped by the Wansheng Princess to reseal the Treasure Vault.

“Qing Chi, immediately pass on my order,” Ao Hong looked at the Patrol Sea Yaksha and said, “Lockdown the Dragon Palace, impose martial law on the Eastern Sea, and without the Dragon King's command, no one is to enter the Eastern Sea; otherwise, anyone of the Sea descendants can be killed.”

“This…” Qing Chi was still unaware that the Dragon King Ao Guang had died and merely thought it was an invasion by foreign enemies, hence he said with some hesitation.

“Still not going?” Ao Zhong waved the Dragon King Order in his hand and commanded.

“By your command.” Seeing this, Qing Chi immediately responded.

“Remember, have all the commanders patrol the sea day and night, check every water descendant's checkpoint, and prevent demons from invading,” Ao Zhong instructed.

“Yes.” Qing Chi immediately complied and turned to leave.

From that day on, the entire Eastern Sea entered a state of lockdown. None of the water descendants knew the reason, which caused some unease among the people.

Shen Luo paid no attention to these matters and returned to the cave mansion where he previously resided to heal his injuries.

He didn't immediately begin to practice his cultivation, but closed his eyes instead and started to meticulously recall the battle that had taken place in the East Sea Dragon Palace.

He always felt that the conduct of the Wansheng Princess and the Three Sea Dragon Kings during that time was somewhat peculiar, especially the Wansheng Princess, whose aim seemed not to be the Sink Blood Nine Dragons Pearl but that blood-colored bone flute.

“That blood-colored bone flute indeed had astonishing power, far surpassing demonic treasures like the Nine Netherworld and the Soul-devouring Stick, and moreover, its aura seemed somewhat familiar, as if I had seen it somewhere before. Right, the blood-colored bone staff inside the Black Abyss Mystical Cave!” Shen Luo suddenly opened his eyes, a solemn glint flashing through them.

“The material of the bone flute and the aura are extremely similar to that blood-colored bone staff; could there be some connection between the two?” Shen Luo pondered.

But this was something he could not verify. He had asked both Ao Hong and Ao Zhong about the blood-colored bone flute, and neither of them knew the origin of that thing.

Shen Luo quickly cast this thought aside and continued to ponder the motives of the Wansheng Princess.

He had felt on the day at Yunmeng Marsh that there was something off about this woman, and now it seemed to be true, and moreover, it appeared she had deep ties with the Demon Clan. He wondered what exactly she was plotting.

“Forget it, it's pointless to think too much. I will just have to be more cautious around this woman if I encounter her again,” Shen Luo shook his head, deciding not to dwell on these matters any longer and closed his eyes to concentrate on healing his injuries.

Although the battle in the Dragon Palace had been intense, the injuries he had sustained were not too severe, and after resting quietly for half a day, he had completely recovered.

Shen Luo opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of turbid air, his brows furrowing once again.

What he was most concerned about now was the black seed within his Dantian.

This matter involved the Dantian and was incredibly important, therefore he had not informed Fire Spirit Child about it. He activated the Huangting Technique with a mere thought.

Brilliant golden light burst forth from his body, and within the Dantian, strata of profound mana enveloped the black seed, attempting to extract it.

However, the roots of that seed had already connected with the Dantian and the meridians throughout his body. The moment he exerted any force, both the Dantian and all his meridians immediately experienced a tearing pain.

After several attempts that all ended in failure, Shen Luo had no choice but to stop, and the mana enshrouding the seed immediately receded.

“It seems that brute force is ineffective; I must seek another method,” Shen Luo sighed lightly, his thoughts racing until he suddenly remembered a secret technique from the Demon Clan within the Chiyou Martial Secrets called “Transplantation.”

This technique had similarities to the Great Unsealing Technique and had the ability to transfer damage. When cultivated to a profound level, as long as the person was not dead and had sufficient Demonic Qi, this technique could transfer injuries from vital locations to less crucial areas like the legs and feet, changing a fatal wound into a minor one.

Using this secret technique of transfer, it might be possible to move the black seed from the Dantian to another place.

With this in mind, Shen Luo immediately acted, silently going over the content of the Transplantation secret technique, soon understanding it thoroughly, and began to cultivate using Demonic Qi.

With his current level of cultivation, he had essentially mastered this secret method in less than half a day, practiced for another half day, and then started to operate.
