第三千六百一十八章 苦肉计

Blue Star Sea!

The Fairy in the Clouds actually mentioned this item.

If Lin Xuan were here, he would definitely be greatly surprised, even feeling anxious!

Since setting foot on the path of cultivation, he had experienced countless twists and turns.

His success to this point was undoubtedly due to his efforts, but the Blue Star Sea also played a significant role!

Otherwise, how could such an insignificant creature without even a spirit root achieve today's accomplishments?

Effort, opportunities, luck—none of these were missing. The aid from the Blue Star Sea did not need to be mentioned; this treasure was originally his greatest mystery.

He had shared it only with Mo'er and no one else!

However, today, he inadvertently exposed it.

Although Qin Yan was probably just guessing, since she dared to tell King Wujiao about it, she must have been quite confident.

"What are you saying? Is it really the Blue Star Sea? That's impossible. You said that this boy ascended from the lower realm like you did; how could a mere creature of the lower realm possibly obtain the Blue Star Sea?" King Wujiao roared in disbelief.

"Humph, why can't a creature of the lower realm obtain the Blue Star Sea? You shouldn’t forget how our clan, after much hardship, finally obtained this treasure and then lost it," Qin Yan sighed, her voice calm to the extreme.

King Wujiao was stunned, his face showing signs of deep thought.

The origin of the Blue Star Sea was shrouded in mystery. It was said that it came from the Immortal Realm, but no one could verify its authenticity.

It was known that during a time when Mo Yue Clan’s celestial witch goddess was traveling abroad and by chance obtained this treasure.

However, it turned out to be a curse rather than a blessing!

A commoner with wealth invites trouble. The powerful Mo Yue Clan, because of this treasure, attracted countless enemies, leading to their downfall.

After much struggle, the Blue Star Sea was eventually acquired by the Heavenly Demon Lord from beyond the heavens.

The域外天魔 were not easily provoked, but there were still many of them.

But this matter did not end here.

True Immortals actually got involved as well.

There were a total of three True Immortals descending to the mortal realm.

While others feared the域外天魔, True Immortals would not be overly intimidated.

Although the Heavenly Demon Lord was formidable, he posed a certain level of threat to their existence. But retreating at this point seemed too extreme. After all, the Blue Star Sea was no small matter; risking everything for it was absolutely worth it.

Thus, the three True Immortals decided to venture into the realm of the域外天魔.

The result did not need to be said; naturally, it caused a great commotion in the demon realm.

After countless trials and tribulations, the three True Immortals finally found the Blue Star Sea.

But such a precious item, how could the域外天魔 let go? The strongest of them all emerged, with hundreds of Heavenly Demons blocking their path. A fierce battle ensued, leaving the scene in utter chaos.

The惨烈ness was hard to describe in words.

Hundreds of Heavenly Demons perished, and two True Immortals' souls returned to the underworld. Only the strongest one managed to escape barely.

Such a result could be considered mutual destruction.

What was even more unbelievable was that after this battle, the Blue Star Sea disappeared without a trace, seemingly lost in space.

It had fallen into a spatial rift and no one knew where it ended up.

The域外天魔 were extremely不甘心.

However, retrieving such a lost item from a spatial rift was much harder than searching for a needle in a haystack.

Despite their countless efforts, they still found no trace of the treasure.

But now Qin Yan said that an ordinary cultivator from the lower realm had obtained this precious item. Was it possible?

King Wujiao's face showed a mix of emotions; this news was too shocking.

Words alone were not enough to prove anything, so he shouldn't believe her.

However, Fairy in the Clouds spoke with conviction, making him feel that she might be right.

Moreover, considering how quickly Lin Xuan had progressed, obtaining the Blue Star Sea was his only explanation.

In short, given its significance as a great treasure, it was better to assume it existed rather than not.

"Then according to Fairy in the Clouds' opinion, would this boy come to the Fallen Demon Valley?"

"It's hard to say. However, this boy is not someone who lacks emotion or loyalty. If I'm not mistaken, there should be a more than 70% chance," Qin Yan replied after some thought.

"A 70% chance isn't small. But since he has already reached the late stage of Tribulation Transcendence, he must have mastered one or two survival techniques. Although you received true teachings from Heavenly Demon Lord, your current strength is still shallow; it's uncertain whether you can keep this boy here."

"Why do you think I should help?" Qin Yan showed a trace of dissatisfaction on her face.

"Hey, if I could act, I wouldn't mind providing some assistance. But don’t forget, originally, I was one of the Heavenly Demons from ancient times who infiltrated the Spirit Realm. After all these years, our hidden pawns in the Spirit Realm are few and far between. My current identity cannot be revealed, so I can't intervene now."

"Hmm, you have a point. Who would have thought that the Wujiao King, one of the three demon kings, was already possessed by the域外天魔 millions of years ago, becoming our greatest hidden pawn in the Spirit Realm?"

"Hey, my success at possession back then was also due to good luck. If I were given another chance, I wouldn't have any confidence. But precisely because it was hard-won, my identity must be kept secret. With time, all three True Immortals and demon kings will fall into my trap," King Wujiao's voice was extremely low, but his tone carried a hint of pride.

"I know you spent great effort to outmaneuver the old fellows in the Spirit Realm; otherwise, you wouldn't have allowed that fat dragon princess to enter the Ten Thousand Mountains, intentionally letting her die so we would be at odds? That’s why?"

"You're right. Despite my efforts over these years, I was still caught by Rain桐 Fairy's attention. Although she had no evidence, she already suspected me,"

"So you came up with this ruse?"

"Yes."

"Even your own daughter could be sacrificed?"

"My words are incorrect; as a Heavenly Demon from beyond the heavens, how can I have any love for my daughter? That Wujiao princess was just a small dragon that I had adopted after her parents abandoned her. If not for me saving her, she would already be gone. Over these years, I treated her well, and she always wanted to go to the Ten Thousand Mountains; now that she's dead, it’s not my fault."

"Comrade, you really know how to evade responsibility."

Qin Yan showed a look of disapproval: "Regardless, you have achieved your goal. The Wujiao princess died at the hands of the Heavenly Demon from beyond the heavens, and Rain桐 Fairy will no longer suspect me."

"Humph, I did this out of necessity; if not for the great plans of my Heavenly Demons, would I have gone to such lengths?" King Wujiao sighed.
