Divine Emperor Demon Emperor

Chapter 474: Chapter 474: Double Flower Secret Scripture (Part 1)

With both women in his arms, a smile appeared on Lin Yun’s face as he said softly, ”This is your fated opportunity. Receiving a Saint’s inheritance will be of great benefit to you in the future.”

Hearing this, the two women nodded obediently. The nearby Flawless Palace disciples watched the two beauties in Lin Yun’s arms, silly grins on all their faces. Perhaps in their eyes, only a man like Lin Yun was worthy of such exquisite women as Lu Bingning and Lan Xi.

The disciples from the Taiqing Academy, however, were green with envy. To win the affection of even one such woman was a blessing earned over several lifetimes, let alone two.

”Shouldn’t we open the restriction to the Second Layer now?” Xi Zijin reminded him coolly.

At her words, Lin Yun finally released the two women. He explained the alliance between the three forces to them, and after he finished, they both nodded and walked over to the restriction sealing the Second Layer.

Forming the same Seal Technique, the two women pressed their hands against the restriction almost simultaneously. Instantly, an interwoven red and white light flashed, and as it flickered, the restriction on the Second Layer vanished completely.

”Since the restriction to the Second Layer is open, let’s proceed as we agreed. After you two,” Wei Yunhang said with a smile, looking at Lin Yun and Xi Zijin.

At his words, the members of the three forces all headed toward the Second Layer. Upon entering, they found it was different from the First Layer; it was like a maze, filled with small, individual rooms.

Soon, the members of the three forces split up into small groups. Lin Yun had his eight Core Disciples each lead a group of sect disciples to spread out and search for treasures.

As for Lin Yun, he was pulled along by Lu Bingning and Lan Xi to the entrance of the Third Layer.

The entrance to the Third Layer was invisible; no one but Lu Bingning and Lan Xi could have found it. They broke through the entrance’s restriction just as easily, and the three of them quickly ascended to the pavilion’s third floor.

After the trio’s figures vanished, the entrance to the Third Layer once again faded into nothingness. Anyone else walking past would never have suspected that there was an entrance leading to the third floor right there.

As soon as he stepped onto the Third Layer, Lin Yun was captivated by the treasures on display. There were two Long Rhombuses, one red and one white, each emitting a faint glow. They were two Treasure Soldiers.

”Lin Yun, these are the Treasure Soldiers Master left for us.” The two women walked up to the weapons. Lu Bingning picked up the white Long Rhombus, and Lan Xi took the red one.

The value of a Treasure Soldier was self-evident. In the entire Eastern Domain, only Spirit Realm experts from the Six Great Forces possessed Treasure Soldiers, which showed just how precious they were.

Genuinely happy for them, Lin Yun smiled and nodded. He had them put away their Treasure Soldiers, then turned his attention to the other treasures.

It was worth noting that Little Ape, who had never shown any interest in treasures before, now scrambled out of Lin Yun’s arms and dashed directly toward a Jade Bottle.

The Jade Bottle wasn’t large. However, when Lin Yun walked over and opened its lid, he couldn’t help but feel a surge of excitement.

Although there wasn’t much—only a dozen or so drops of Demon Beast Essence Blood—Lin Yun could actually sense a faint trace of Long Wei from it.

”This is...” Lin Yun had seen this kind of Essence Blood before, back in the Divine Realm. After sensing it carefully for a moment, he was certain. This was truly the Essence Blood of a Flood Dragon.

Though it wasn’t from a pure-blooded Flood Dragon, a Demon Beast like a Flood Dragon was undoubtedly considered a Divine Beast on the Celestial Spirit Continent.

As a mixed-blood Demon Beast descendant of a True Dragon, a Flood Dragon’s body contained a trace of Dragon’s Suppression. The value of these dozen-plus drops of Flood Dragon Essence Blood was simply heaven-defying. He never expected the Double Flower Saint to store such a precious treasure here.

Just as Lin Yun was feeling excited, Little Ape, who could no longer restrain himself, snatched the Jade Bottle. Without a second thought, he started chugging its contents down like water.

To Little Ape, the Flood Dragon Essence Blood was nothing more than a delicious meal. He didn’t even try to refine it, just poured it straight down his gullet. Seeing this, Lin Yun yelled in a panic, ”You little prodigal, stop right there!”

With that, Lin Yun snatched the Jade Bottle back. In just a few short breaths, the bottle that had held more than a dozen drops of Flood Dragon Essence Blood now only had two left.

”Big Bro, what are you doing? That stuff was barely even palatable,” Little Ape grumbled, displeased that Lin Yun had taken the Jade Bottle.

Hearing this, Lin Yun bopped Little Ape on the head. ”Do you have any idea what this is?” he said, full of regret. ”You can’t just drink it like that! Do you know how much energy you just wasted?”

”Big Bro, you’re so ignorant. It’s not even that good. It’s not even as good as my own bloodline,” Little Ape muttered, feeling wronged by Lin Yun’s scolding.

At these words, Lin Yun nearly stumbled and fell over. ’This little prodigal,’ he thought. ’What are you? You’re a descendant of the Vajra Divine Ape and the Heaven-Destroying Demon Ape. Of course a Flood Dragon’s Essence Blood can’t compare to you.’

’But even if it’s not as good as you, this Flood Dragon Essence Blood is still a Supreme Treasure on the Celestial Spirit Continent! For you to chug it like that... calling it a monstrous waste would be an understatement!’

Lin Yun handed the two remaining drops of Flood Dragon Essence Blood to Lu Bingning and Lan Xi. ”This will be extremely beneficial for your physical bodies,” he instructed. ”Put it away for now. After we return to the Palace, find an opportunity to refine it.”

The two women nodded. Lu Bingning then stored the Jade Bottle in her Space Ring.

In the presence of the Flood Dragon Essence Blood, the other treasures on the Third Layer seemed somewhat ordinary by comparison. Still, there were many items that were quite useful to Lin Yun.

For example, there were Low Grade and Superior Grade Spirit Essence Pills. The pills left by the Double Flower Saint were far purer than those found in the Eastern Domain. One glance was enough to tell they were of exceptionally perfect quality.

After collecting the treasures from the Third Layer with satisfaction, Lin Yun was about to suggest they leave. However, he noticed the two women looked hesitant, as if they had something they wanted to say.

Looking at them, Lin Yun asked with a smile, ”What is it? Is something wrong?”

At his question, it was the more vivacious Lan Xi who finally spoke up. ”There is something we wanted to tell you.”

”Oh? What is it?” Lin Yun asked, intrigued.

”It’s about Sister Bingning’s and my path in Martial Arts,” Lan Xi replied.

’Their path in Martial Arts?’ he thought. It was common knowledge that receiving a Saint’s inheritance meant accepting that Saint’s own path of Martial Arts.

Hearing Lan Xi’s words, Lin Yun had an inkling of what she meant. The two stone statues on the First Layer were clearly two separate Saints, and the stone tablets below them were inscribed with the names ”White Flower Saint” and ”Red Flower Saint.”

Yet, between them was a golden stone tablet inscribed with ”Double Flower Saint.” ’Such a strange title for a Saint,’ he mused. ’Their path of Martial Arts must be different from the norm.’

’Seeing how cautious they are, the Double Flower Saint’s path of Martial Arts must be not only peculiar, but also dangerous.’
