Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

”This is madness!”

When the Array Heart Strange Spirit saw that it was actually a wooden sword, it couldn’t help but sneer, tinged with a hint of disdain, because within that wooden sword, it couldn’t sense even the slightest bit of energy fluctuation.

This Array Heart Strange Spirit is different from ordinary Strange Spirits; it has merged with the memories of the Water Palace Master, and is very knowledgeable about matters on the Dragon Continent.

Even an advanced Heaven Rank weapon cannot hope to break the heart of this Myriad Illusion Water Cloud Array, something the Array Heart Strange Spirit knows all too well, let alone an inconspicuous wooden sword.

”Watch closely!”

Just as the Array Heart Strange Spirit felt disdain, Yun Xiao already uttered firmly, then leisurely swung the wooden sword towards the Crystal Throne, as casually as if a child was swinging it.

Crack!

A soft sound was heard, followed immediately by the Array Heart Strange Spirit experiencing a wave of agony, even though Yun Xiao was still several feet away from it, with no one able to approach him directly.

”This... This is impossible!”

The Array Heart Strange Spirit said these words countless times, and through the agony, it saw the inconspicuous wooden sword slicing into the backrest of the Crystal Throne like a hot knife through butter, ultimately splitting it in two.

”In the world, nothing is impossible. If you find it unbelievable, it only shows how ignorant you are!”

Raising his arm gently and looking at the already halved Crystal Throne, Yun Xiao turned his head expressionlessly and said, the means of Long Xiao Battle God are not something a Strange Spirit of the Dragon Continent could imagine.

”I’m not reconciled... I’m not reconciled!”

Feeling its body fade away little by little, the form of the Array Heart Strange Spirit became considerably illusory; the Crystal Throne was its true body, now split by Yun Xiao, it knew it was beyond salvaging.

Pity the Array Heart Strange Spirit of this Myriad Illusion Water Cloud Array, who cultivated spiritual wisdom over years, and even merged with the Water Palace Master’s memories, aiming for greatness, only to find itself stuck in the Myriad Illusion Water Cloud Array, and ultimately dying a miserable death.

Yun Xiao, although not knowing the exact details, could imagine generally. Thus, when the Array Heart Strange Spirit didn’t choose the first path, he unhesitatingly unleashed the Dragon Taming Sword, splitting the Crystal Throne in two.

”Kid, I curse you, curse you to never escape this underground of the Wuyan Water Palace!”

As its form was about to dissipate, the Array Heart Strange Spirit roared full of resentment, and its illusory form exploded, leaving only the curse echoing endlessly.

Yun Xiao didn’t care in the slightest about such meaningless curses; seeing the Array Heart Strange Spirit’s form dissipate, he breathed a sigh of relief, inserting the Dragon Taming Sword back behind him.

”Huh?”

As Yun Xiao withdrew his gaze from where the Array Heart Strange Spirit had dissipated, his eyes condensed suddenly, noticing a peculiar ripple within the severed Crystal Throne.

”Is this... the Xuan Water Spirit Pearl?”

Bending down to pick up the constantly morphing bead resembling a water sphere, recognition dawned instantly, a wave of intense joy appearing on his face.

In this world, there are sources of pure single elemental essence. Back when Yun Xiao obtained the Xuanyang Earth Pearl from Spirit Fighting Commerce’s Special Envoy Xia Yong, it was a Fire Attribute essence.

The Xuanyang Earth Pearl contained exceedingly rich Earth Core Fire, allowing Chi Yan to break through, even causing Xiao Wu and Red Feather to fight over it fiercely.

Self-proclaimed Five-Clawed Golden Dragon Xiao Wu has extremely high standards, ignoring trivial objects; his appearance for the Xuanyang Earth Pearl signifies its preciousness.

And this so-called Xuan Water Spirit Pearl is certainly a Water Attribute essence pearl, viewing it changing constantly within his palm, Yun Xiao knew he had gained another creation this time.

Originally thinking the destruction of the Crystal Throne, the Array Heart Strange Spirit’s true body, merely broke the Myriad Illusion Water Cloud Array, not even claiming the Spirit Crystal from the Strange Spirit, yet unexpectedly, he gained this pleasant surprise.

Yun Xiao knew that neither Crimson Flame on his shoulder nor the Golden Snake Worm Xiao Wu nor the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix chick within him were associated with Water Attribute.

Moreover, Chi Yan and Red Feather utterly loathed the aura of this Xuan Water Spirit Pearl, while Xiao Wu showed little interest, so Yun Xiao realized he was free of two ”competitors”.

”Swish!”

Just as Yun Xiao held the Xuan Water Spirit Pearl, debating whether to refine it right away, the constantly shifting pearl vanished swiftly from his palm.

”You, this guy, are really impatient!”

Seeing this, Yun Xiao understood what was happening. He didn’t hesitate any longer, knowing that the Golden Snake Worm Xiao Wu couldn’t resist coming out to grab the food. If he didn’t act now, there’d be nothing left of the Xuan Water Spirit Pearl for himself.

At that moment, Yun Xiao sat cross-legged, activating the Ancient Dragon Taming Technique, and began the battle for the energy of the Xuan Water Spirit Pearl. As he started refining the Xuan Water Spirit Pearl, the long dormant aura within him began to slowly rise.

It’s worth mentioning that if there were outsiders present, they might notice that his cold attribute left arm seemed to have a flow of water energy passing through it as the Xuan Water Spirit Pearl’s energy was refined, appearing quite mystical.

.....

While Yun Xiao was refining the Xuan Water Spirit Pearl, a significant change was taking place across the Yanji Lake. This change was what countless cultivators who entered the Yanji Lake had been eagerly anticipating.

In a certain part of Yanji Lake, the seventh elder of Wuyan Palace, Zhang Daohe, suddenly saw the fog channel straight ahead of him make an abrupt turn just a few feet away, as if an invisible hand had forcibly twisted it.

Although it was abrupt, Zhang Daohe, who had been quite frustrated over the past seven days and nights, was overjoyed to see this scene.

”It seems like something unknown happened at the Wuyan Palace Ancestral Land!”

Zhang Daohe didn’t know that everything was caused by Yun Xiao splitting the Crystal Throne. He thought that during these seven days and nights, some change occurred deep within Yanji Lake, and such a change was undoubtedly joyous.

Aside from Zhang Daohe, powerful individuals from Demons Mountain, Firewood Valley, Thunder Sound Mountain, and other forces also discovered changes in the fog channel, leaving them both surprised and pleased.

No matter if this sudden change was good or bad, it no longer seemed like the endless seven days before. Perhaps soon, they would truly discover the secret of Yanji Lake.

As time passed, cultivators entering the fog channel followed the newly emerged guidance along the way, and three days later, they suddenly felt a brightness before them. A scene like a crystal-clear building in an immortal realm finally appeared before their eyes.

Gazing at the building seemingly looming in the water waves, some weaker cultivators thought they were seeing things, unable to believe it was real.

Perhaps only Fudi Realm experts like Ge Wanli and Zhang Daohe were truly excited because they knew they had finally found the place they were seeking.

”Is that our Wuyan Palace Ancestral Land?”

Zhang Daohe was undoubtedly the most excited. However, since joining the Wuyan Palace, he had only been in its new headquarters, knowing there was such an ancestral land but completely unaware of its situation.

But seeing that vast expanse of crystal-clear structures seeming like an immortal realm immediately made Zhang Daohe forget some things. Only a place like this as the Wuyan Palace Ancestral Land could truly reflect the palace’s majesty, right?

”Treasure, there must be treasure inside!”

While Zhang Daohe was excited and fervent, a voice rang out loudly, stirring many loose cultivators’ hearts.

Without any hesitation, they swarmed towards the crystal buildings, afraid that if they were a step late, the treasures would be taken by others.

”Those are all things belonging to Wuyan Palace, who dares to touch them?”

Seeing this, Zhang Daohe finally came to his senses. His voice, containing his powerful late stage Fudi Realm cultivation, made many people’s steps falter.

No matter how you look at it, this place was indeed the legendary Wuyan Palace Ancestral Land. These low-rank cultivators really didn’t dare to offend Wuyan Palace, especially since the Seventh Elder of Wuyan Palace was a genuine late stage Fudi Realm expert.

Many then turned their gaze to certain figures, perhaps realizing that if they wanted to enter the Wuyan Palace Ancestral Land to seek treasures, they would need to rely on these individuals.

”Zhang Daohe, aren’t you being too overbearing?”

Zhao Huai’an of the Zhao Family, having exchanged words with Zhang Daohe outside, couldn’t hold back any longer at the sight of the supreme treasure, his voice containing a trace of anger and an unconcealable fervor.

”Hmph, Zhao Huai’an, earlier outside, I was considering the bigger picture and didn’t argue with you. Do you really think Wuyan Palace is afraid of your Zhao Family?”

Seeing the ancestral land so close, Zhang Daohe would no longer retreat. He had long been dissatisfied with Zhao Huai’an, and had it not been for the need to jointly break the seal, he might have already dealt with this guy.

As Zhang Daohe claimed, although Wuyan Palace had lost its former glory since its founding, it remained one of the four top forces on the Tenglong Continent, much stronger than a small Zhao Family.

But at this moment, Zhao Huai’an wasn’t fighting alone. He believed that strong individuals from other major forces wouldn’t stand idly by.

At this point, only by uniting against Wuyan Palace could they have a chance of obtaining treasures from the Crystal Palace.
