Divine War Pill Emperor

Jiang Chen held the Illusory Compass of the Ten Directions Calculation, constantly trying to deduce the location of the Spatial Crystal Stone.

However, the Compass was now spinning endlessly, which was very strange.

Jiang Chen couldn’t make heads or tails of it.

’Could it be right beside me?’

He frowned slightly.

Suspicious, he immediately took the Compass and stepped a short distance away from where he had been standing.

Xiaotian immediately followed him.

Just a moment ago, the Compass had pointed toward Xiaotian. But when Xiaotian approached, it suddenly began to spin erratically again.

’Hmm?’

Jiang Chen had spotted the issue.

He thought for a moment.

Then, he looked at Xiaotian.

He said to Xiaotian, ”Xiaotian, don’t move. Just stay right there.”

The Celestial Brown Ridge Python immediately asked in a pitiful voice, ”Master, are you going to abandon me again?”

Jiang Chen didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

He shook his head and said, ”No, I’m looking for something. Just stay still for a moment.”

”I’ll explain in a bit.”

Now that the Celestial Brown Ridge Python’s Cultivation had reached the Martial King Realm, it was naturally able to speak.

However, the Celestial Brown Ridge Python was still like a little boy, its voice retaining a childish quality.

Xiaotian did as Jiang Chen said, obediently waiting off to the side.

Jiang Chen took the Compass and moved a short distance away from Xiaotian.

Sure enough, as he moved away from Xiaotian, the Compass’s needle immediately pointed to Xiaotian’s location.

He moved to a different spot.

Yet, the Compass’s needle still pointed at Xiaotian.

This left Jiang Chen puzzled.

’Could Xiaotian have a Spatial Crystal Stone inside his body?’

The discovery stunned Jiang Chen.

He recalled the Celestial Brown Ridge Python—he had encountered it back when Zhan Yang and the others from the Warring States Mercenary Corps were gathering Moyang Flowers.

They had run into the Celestial Brown Ridge Python, which he ended up subduing.

He had assumed the Celestial Brown Ridge Python was useless, so he hadn’t made any effort to seek it out.

He never imagined that upon meeting the Celestial Brown Ridge Python again, the Compass needle would point steadfastly at it. This meant it was highly likely that the python possessed a Spatial Crystal Stone.

Jiang Chen said to Xiaotian, ”Xiaotian, move to your left.”

The Celestial Brown Ridge Python had no idea what its master was up to, but it followed Jiang Chen’s instructions and moved to the left.

To Jiang Chen’s amazement, he found that the Compass needle indeed turned to follow Xiaotian’s movement.

”Now to the right.”

Sure enough, he soon confirmed that his suspicion was correct.

The Compass always pointed at Xiaotian.

Jiang Chen was thrilled by this discovery.

He gazed at Xiaotian as if looking at a priceless treasure.

”Xiaotian, come here.”

Although Jiang Chen had nicknamed it Xiaotian, the Celestial Brown Ridge Python was not ”little” in the slightest; its body was enormous.

Without a second thought, Xiaotian came to Jiang Chen’s side.

It mumbled, ”Master, what is it?”

”Do you like to watch me move?”

Jiang Chen nearly stumbled. ’Who likes watching you move around?’

He waved his hand. ”Xiaotian, let me ask you, did you eat something... out of the ordinary?”

Xiaotian tilted his head in thought, then nodded. ”Yes, I’ve eaten lots of things, including human Martial Cultivators.”

”They’re all in my belly now.”

Jiang Chen was even more at a loss for words.

He knew the Spatial Crystal Stone had to be in Xiaotian’s stomach.

He suddenly asked, ”Can you spit out everything you’ve eaten?”

”Everything.”

Now it was Xiaotian’s turn to be speechless.

He had no idea what his master was up to.

Of course, he was still very obedient and nodded. ”Alright, I’ll spit it all out then.”

”But there’s quite a lot of stuff.”

Then, Xiaotian opened its mouth and gave a mighty heave.

With a great CLATTER and SPLASH, a whole pile of things came pouring out.

The pile included some primordial crystals, Beast Bones, and the like.

Soon, however, a sparkling, crystalline object caught Jiang Chen’s eye.

”The Spatial Crystal Stone! It really is the Spatial Crystal Stone!”

”Haha, the heavens are on my side!”

Jiang Chen was ecstatic. Amidst the things Xiaotian had spat out, he saw a crystal-clear object roughly half the size of a human head.

That object was the very Spatial Crystal Stone Jiang Chen was looking for.

He hastily picked the Spatial Crystal Stone out from the pile of items Xiaotian had regurgitated.

”I found it.”

Xiaotian asked in bewilderment, ”Master, you had me spit everything out just to find this one piece of rock?”

Jiang Chen nodded.

But this only made Xiaotian more bewildered.

He asked in astonishment, ”How did you know I had this thing in my stomach?”

”I certainly never told you.”

He was genuinely astonished that Jiang Chen had known he had that thing in his stomach.

Jiang Chen chuckled. ”I have my ways.”

Xiaotian was instantly filled with admiration for Jiang Chen.

”Celestial Brown Ridge Python, why don’t you kill this human whelp?”

Just then, the Black King Rat that Jiang Chen had suppressed suddenly began to roar in fury.

It was still trapped by Jiang Chen in the Yang Coffin, unable to escape.

It had summoned reinforcements and a Celestial Brown Ridge Python had answered the call, but it never imagined that in the blink of an eye, the python would acknowledge this guy as its master.

The Black King Rat was on the verge of a breakdown.

It couldn’t help but remind the Celestial Brown Ridge Python again.

After all, during this time, it and the Celestial Brown Ridge Python had become the Lords of this place, jointly managing the territory.

Hearing the Black King Rat’s voice, the Celestial Brown Ridge Python immediately shook its head and said, ”Black King Rat, this is my master.”

”You should submit to him as well. From now on, we will both serve him as our master.”

Inside the coffin, the Black King Rat was practically apoplectic with rage.

It was utterly helpless.

Its companion had betrayed it, just like that.

Jiang Chen paid the Black King Rat no mind. Since it was trapped in the Yang Coffin with no hope of escape, he would have a chance to deal with it later.

His main priority at the moment was to handle the Spatial Crystal Stone.

”Xiaotian, follow me.”

Jiang Chen called out, and the Celestial Brown Ridge Python immediately followed. In the blink of an eye, the man and the snake arrived in a mountain valley.

A clear stream flowed gently through it.

Jiang Chen took the Spatial Crystal Stone and washed it clean in the water.

After all, the Spatial Crystal Stone had come from inside Xiaotian’s stomach, so it was a bit dirty.

”Xiaotian, I have you to thank for this. Otherwise, I don’t know where I would have ever found this Spatial Crystal Stone.”

Jiang Chen finished washing the Spatial Crystal Stone. With it in his possession, he could quickly realize his plan to fully repair the Dragon-locking Realm.

When the time came, he would be able to bring the Zombies, the Purple-Haired Demon Wolf, and the Celestial Brown Ridge Python into the Dragon-locking Realm.

It would be far more convenient.

He would also be able to enter the Dragon-locking Realm himself.

If the Dragon-locking Realm were restored to normal and filled with Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, he could even practice his Cultivation in there.

A series of plans began to take shape in Jiang Chen’s mind.

Xiaotian asked, ”Master, what’s a Spatial Crystal Stone?”

”I don’t sense anything magical about this Spatial Crystal Stone.”

”I don’t even know when I swallowed it.”

”Any later, and I would have just passed it out as waste.”

Jiang Chen felt a surge of relief. He was lucky he had arrived just in time.

He explained, ”The Spatial Crystal Stone is an extremely precious treasure used to repair space.”

”I’m lucky it was inside you. If it were in someone else’s hands, I might not have been able to get it even if I paid a great price.”

As for Xiaotian, Jiang Chen wouldn’t need to give him a reward.

In the future, he would just have to refine some evolution-assisting Elixirs for him.

That would serve as compensation for Xiaotian. Besides, the Spatial Crystal Stone was completely useless to him anyway.
