第两千九百七十章 九头鸟

"Devil's Seven Treasures!"

(This chapter was hand-typed by the Madman.)

This was something left behind from Mo Er's past life. The exact purpose of it was unknown, but Lin Xuan could be certain that it was definitely no ordinary item. Otherwise, King Asura wouldn't have cherished and hidden it here.

Thinking about the person who had left this behind, a warm feeling stirred in Lin Xuan's heart. Where was Mo Er now?

For a moment, Lin Xuan felt his mind wandering. After some time, he gradually regained his composure. He believed that true love would eventually prevail, and that he and Mo Er would meet again.

Though the exact timing was unknown, there was no need to dwell on personal matters at present. The pressing matter now should be to leave this place as soon as possible.

Wait a moment, perhaps it wasn't necessary to rush so much.

A flash of insight crossed Lin Xuan's mind as he turned his head and began to observe the surroundings.

Looking around, there were some bricks and rubble. Although King Asura's palace had turned into ruins, the scenery here was extremely elegant.

Just looking at it made one feel refreshed and invigorated. The concentration of qi here was so dense that it had already reached the point where it could crystallize like snow.

Such a place, while he had experienced many such places in his life, was still something he had rarely encountered. Even Nai Long's Penglai Immortal Island fell short. If he were to break through his bottleneck here, the chances would undoubtedly increase significantly.

However, Lin Xuan did not make an immediate decision. While this place's qi was enviable, its drawbacks were equally obvious.

Simply put, Lin Xuan feared that there might be unknown dangers lurking.

This wasn't unfounded worry; after all, Dreamland Desert was too mysterious and unpredictable. How could he not have concerns? He was not afraid of everything, but the only thing he worried about was whether some unforeseen danger would suddenly appear when he was most vulnerable to breaking through his bottleneck. At that moment, he would be at his weakest, and a misstep could send him straight to the underworld.

Although this was merely Lin Xuan's concern, he did not dare to be careless regarding matters concerning life and death. Better safe than sorry.

Should he break through here or leave in search of another place?

Lin Xuan frowned as he pondered, his inner turmoil evident.

After a full teacup’s worth of time, he finally chuckled.

Even if he wanted to leave, there was no way out. He seemed to be overthinking this.

Well, better stick to the old ways for now. He would search through the ruins of Asura Palace and see what else he could find before making a decision.

This should be the most reliable choice in such circumstances.

With that thought, Lin Xuan began carefully considering the ruins of Asura Palace.

---

Without the aid of his spirit sense, the speed was naturally not fast. Fortunately, Lin Xuan wasn't in a rush, and he could wait for this time.

...

Indeed, hard work pays off. After meticulously searching for several dozen days, Lin Xuan did have some收获.

He actually found an array disk.

Yes, it was an array disk. It sounded simple enough.

However, the things controlled by this array disk were no small matter.

Along with the array disk, there was also a jade pupil cylinder discovered.

After pressing his forehead against it and scanning with his spirit sense, all the mysteries were finally revealed.

In fact, Spirit Wave Valley was actually a true spirit space.

A true spirit space was where true spirits resided. It existed outside the Three Realms and was a superior upper realm, second only to the Immortal Realm.

It wasn't surprising; environments and resources in a true spirit's dwelling would be far beyond those of the Spirit Realm or Ancient Demon Realm.

Moreover, the better the true spirit, the more excellent its environment and resources.

For example, the Heaven Phoenix Realm and True Dragon Realm, their environments were no less superior than the Immortal Realm.

The only drawback was that the area of a true spirit space was usually not too large. Of course, this was relative, and true spirits would get bored. Given their immense power, they wouldn't mind tearing through the void to explore the Three Realms when bored.

Even the weakest true spirit's strength far exceeded that of ordinary Transcendence Period cultivators, so they didn't worry about encountering danger.

True spirits were actually neither inherently good nor evil; they did things according to their nature.

When in a good mood, they would help cultivators. For those who met them when they were in such moods, it was like having good luck.

A single encounter could change one's fate.

However, if the true spirit was in a bad mood and encountered someone, that person could only sigh and complain about their bad luck.

This wasn't joking; the power of a true spirit could move mountains and overturn seas. They could destroy an entire cultivator city in an instant.

Even as a Transcendence Period cultivator, encountering them would be better to seek blessings rather than curses. Just escaping with one's life was already good enough.

Of course, it wasn't that true spirits were invincible.

There were many powerful figures in the Three Realms.

---

The most powerful of all was undoubtedly King Asura.

In some far-off ancient moment, a snow-white maiden entered the Nine-Headed Serpent Realm.

Nine-Headed Serpent might not be the strongest true spirit, but it was certainly one of the most terrifying. It had once fought against True Dragon and Phoenix alone; its temper was the most explosive among all true spirits.

Someone actually dared to enter its territory, and Nine-Headed Serpent became extremely angry. It immediately used its power to attack that person, intending to send them to the underworld.

Unfortunately, it made a mistake. King Asura was originally the ruler of the Yīn Realm.

After a fierce battle, Nine-Headed Serpent lay down before her and signed a master-servant blood pact, becoming King Asura's pet.

Similar events had occurred in other true spirit realms.

Nile Dragon fell to the former Demon Lord's hand.

Chaos was subdued by Frost Soul Demon Ancestor.

However, such occurrences were rare. In the Three Realms, there weren't many figures of such power that one could count on their fingers.

So most true spirits lived carefree lives, and few dared to provoke them in the Three Realms.

Nine-Headed Bird was one of them.

This creature's temper was no less explosive than Nine-Headed Serpent from ancient times.

Moreover, it was arrogant.

Once, for some reason, Nine-Headed Bird accidentally entered the Underworld.

You go where you want; with its strength, as long as it didn't cause a major disaster, no one would dare to provoke it. After all, Nine-Headed Bird was among the strongest true spirits, not far behind the Six Kings of Yīn Realm.

Who knew that this creature caused trouble in the Underworld, or more accurately, vented its frustration there.

The exact reason was unknown, but on that day, Nine-Headed Bird's mood was terrible. It went on a rampage in the Yīn Realm to vent its anger.

Just imagine; such an existence, if it fully exerted itself, would cause unimaginable destruction.

For the Yīn Realm, this was akin to a disaster from heaven.

After venting its frustration, Nine-Headed Bird's mood improved significantly. However, misfortune followed joy; this creature ended up in Asura Clan territory. (To be continued.) If you like this work, please support it.
