第三千三百五十五章 阴雾沼泽

However, it's not surprising to think about. Back in the human world, Moon displayed unparalleled talent. Now that she has returned to Yinshi Underground Realm, naturally, her abilities have only improved.

The Reincarnated King of Asura would not be an ordinary figure!

"How is Moon's situation?"

Although he had heard a rough account from the other party before, at that time, Lin Xuan's identity was yet to be confirmed. Therefore, his response was naturally restrained.

Now, with circumstances changed and time passed, Xing'er no longer harbored any reservations. For both reason and emotion, Lin Xuan naturally needed to inquire in detail about Moon's situation.

"The King's position is not favorable," the ghost girl named Xing'er said, her face showing a hint of disappointment. Her originally refined features now had a touch of anger.

Lin Xuan sighed; indeed, as he suspected.

"Tell me more..." Lin Xuan's expression was full of composure.

He had anticipated this situation and thus did not feel angry. The pressing matter at hand was to understand the current state of Yinshi Underground Realm so that he could take advantage of it to protect Moon.

"The King's divine powers have yet to recover, and there are many powerful figures in Yinshi Underground Realm. These fellows don't even think about their past favors from the Asura King; many now harbor rebellious thoughts..."

Xing'er's angry voice echoed into his ears as he listened silently beside her.

With her eloquent words, she narrated the entire story clearly.

Sure enough, just as Lin Xuan had guessed, after Moon lost the power of the Asura King, many powerful demons and ghosts were不服. Consequently, her situation was dire indeed.

Some even had ruthless intentions to eliminate her completely...

Fortunately, Moon's luck was good; before reincarnating, she left behind several fallback plans, allowing her to turn danger into safety.

However, Yinshi Underground Realm was home to countless demons and ghosts, with many being loyal to the Asura King. His reputation was high, so some remained faithful to his power.

Nevertheless, their situation remained precarious. At the end of the day, in the cultivation world, strength reigned supreme. For Moon to become the ruler of Yinshi Underground Realm again, she had only one path.

"What? Moon still has a chance to become the ruler of Yinshi Underground Realm?" Lin Xuan was greatly surprised. He just wanted her to be safe and happy; he never expected such possibilities!

"Of course, even though the King's reincarnation was out of necessity, his talent is unparalleled. I don't know the specifics, but the King left behind a fallback plan. As long as she gathers all seven treasures of Māra, she can restore her former glory."

Xing'er clasped her hands together with hopeful anticipation.

It was no wonder Xing'er's face was filled with longing. Despite their current dire situation, once the Asura King regained his former power, all problems would be easily resolved.

"What are these Seven Treasures of Cultivation?"

"Lord Young Master, you don't know? These were left behind by the King before her reincarnation. By gathering these seven treasures, she can restore her former strength..."

Now that Lin Xuan was confirmed as Lord Young Master, Xing'er would not hide anything from him. She narrated in detail.

"The Seven Treasures of Māra are primordial objects?"

"Not exactly. At first glance, they seem ordinary, and even a common cultivator would find no use for them. They include a necklace, bracelet, and a cosmetic box..."

"What? A cosmetic box?"

Before Xing'er could finish, Lin Xuan interrupted.

"Indeed, one of the treasures is a cosmetic box. Lord Young Master, have you ever seen it before?"

Xing'er's face lit up with joy. To gather these seven treasures required immense effort from those loyal to the Asura King; it was extremely difficult to obtain even one.

If Lord Young Master happened to have one, that would be wonderful!

Finding a needle in a haystack and getting it for free!

However, Lin Xuan did not answer her question but instead closed his eyes, lost in thought.

He had indeed seen the cosmetic box before. A few hundred years ago, when Daoist True Dragon and Fairy Qianqian held their dual cultivation ceremony, the two Saint Ancestors of Ice Soul Snake spared no effort to break through space-time barriers just to attend.

They even presented three extraordinary treasures but only for a simple cosmetic box in exchange.

They claimed it was an ancestral inheritance, though useless, could not fall into the hands of outsiders.

It was clearly a mere pretext; would such a great true demon ancestor, as a true primordial being, really make a deal over such trivial reasons?

Absolutely not!

At that time, all present cultivators were baffled.

Since it was a joyous day, Daoist True Dragon did not want to complicate matters and agreed to the exchange.

Thinking back now, although Lin Xuan was not one hundred percent certain, that cosmetic box might well be one of the Seven Treasures of Māra.

By the way, there's also the bracelet!

Lin Xuan recalled his experiences in the lost realm.

In Asura Palace, he had obtained a bracelet but didn't know its purpose. Coincidentally, Ice Soul Snake's avatar arrived at this realm.

She went to such great lengths for a reason; she even collaborated with Venerable Qingyan. Could it be one of the Seven Treasures of Māra?

There was also the necklace just now. By his count, he had two treasures left behind by the Asura King in his possession.

Lin Xuan thought about this but did not elaborate further. He wasn't doubting her; rather, everything was still a guess and needed to be confirmed after seeing Moon.

With this in mind, Lin Xuan felt much more relieved. His eagerness to see Yue'er quickly grew stronger.

However, he couldn't rush things. According to Xing'er, Moon now resides in Yinmugu Swamp.

Yinmugu Swamp sounded like a nice name but was actually a terrifying place in the Yinshi Underground Realm. As its name suggested, it was vast and filled with dangerous swamps that were hard to describe.

While the outer areas posed some danger, they still allowed adventurers to test their mettle. However, as one ventured deeper, the terror increased. Even ordinary cultivators could fall prey to the dangers there, let alone old monsters at the peak of their power who might also meet their demise.

"Why would Moon hide in such a dangerous place?" Lin Xuan was greatly surprised.

"Lord Young Master, don't worry. This is where the King had arranged her stay before reincarnation."

"The Asura King's arrangement?"

"Yes, after her reincarnation, she wouldn't be able to command Yinshi Underground Realm anymore, and many would harbor ill intentions. The King foresaw this and left a place for herself. Despite the dangers in Yinmugu Swamp, they serve as natural barriers," Xing'er smiled.

"Hmm, that makes sense."

Lin Xuan thought about it; indeed, there was no need to hesitate: "Let's go to Yinmugu Swamp!"

PS: I have something to attend to today, so only one update. Three updates tomorrow to make up for it!
