Chapter 100: Chapter 100 The ’Treasure’ in the Box

Gu Jianqing rolled out from the Black Banner, his hair disheveled, looking utterly wretched. But as he steadied himself on the spot and coughed for a long time, raising his head, he saw nearly a hundred pairs of eyes staring straight at him.

There was no doubt that these people were all waiting for him to describe the situation inside the great hall.

He was truly stunned for a moment, then quickly searched the crowd for his own master and two lose Immortal Realm fellow sect members.

Tears filling his eyes, Gu Jianqing rushed in front of Daoist Xiao Qi’s robe and knelt down with a bang, hanging his head in shame.

"Disciple... Disciple is incompetent!"

Daoist Xiao Qi’s heart tightened, previously seeing this Black Banner used for escape, she already had a bad feeling, now seeing her eldest disciple alone in such a sorry state, her vision darkened even more.

"Where is my other disciple, why hasn’t he come out? How is he?"

At this moment, the big monk also stepped forward, his voice booming, deep and immeasurable, causing Gu Jianqing to be in involuntary fear, and the dark thoughts that had just brewed in his heart underwent a change.

"Speak!"

Daoist Xiao Qi’s facial muscles twitched as she glared at her own disciple.

Although there are many disciples from Purple Dragon Island and injuries occur on every external cultivation mission, such a near total annihilation hasn’t happened for nearly a thousand years.

Gu Jianqing sobbed, gnashing his teeth with full of resentment, he said: "Disciple led a group of brothers deep into the Demon Lord’s Temple, broke the black and white chess layout left by the Demon Lord, and also broke through the Demon Lord’s Ten Thousand Dragon Blood Array, obtaining a Treasure Box sealed within the grand array."

Saying this, he took out the Treasure Box from his bosom and raised it high above his head with his trembling hands, extending it to Daoist Xiao Qi’s face.

"Everything was going smoothly for us at the beginning, we proceeded deeper, and unexpectedly encountered a golden gate in the depths of the great hall. After searching desperately, we finally understood that it was a Small World opened by Demon Lord Bai Mushuang’s reliance on a touch of Holy Power when he failed to ascend to the Saint Realm!"

Upon hearing this, some of the people present couldn’t help but exclaim in shock.

Demon Lord Bai Mushuang once gathered swords and iron from all over the world to forge mountains, and also collected all the treasures in the world in his treasury. Just think, if he left behind an inheritance, he must have hidden everything in that Small World.

Even if there is nothing else, just the Small World itself, a Cave Heaven Blessed Land rare to find in the whole world, is equally unimaginable treasure.

"But at this time, Nezha from Chan Sect actually colluded with Lan Yue, a thousand-year-old Demon Lord’s Attendant, and launched a sneak attack on us using the Killing Array inside the hall. We, the disciples from Purple Dragon Island, fought fiercely in blood, but trapped in the Array, we were no match for the killing power of the Demon Lord’s Array. In desperation, we called for help from Wu Xiang, our brother, but for some reason, Wu Xiang also ignored us. It’s a pity for my fellow Purple Dragon Island brothers, after overcoming countless difficulties to slay Lan Yue, this disciple only had the opportunity to escape from the Killing Array with the treasure you bestowed us..."

Gu Jianqing continued, with Daoist Xiao Qi’s face growing paler in front of him.

Fortunately, she was also a person who had attained Dao thousands of years ago, experiencing countless hardships and battles in her life. She took a deep breath, with a grim expression, glared at Yu Ding and Heavenly Venerate for a moment, then turned her attention to the Treasure Box in Gu Jianqing’s hand.

"What’s inside this box?"

"Disciple has not yet opened it to see."

Daoist Xiao Qi placed her hand on the lid of the Treasure Box, and all the sect members present also held their breath.

The conflicts between disciples of the Chan Sect and Jie Sect, no one knew when it began. Many senior experts present who have cultivated for many years recalled that it seemed like things had always been this way since they had memory.

Therefore, no one cared about the truth, what Nezha from Chan Sect killed disciples of Purple Dragon Island from Jie Sect, whether they lived or died, it’s none of their business.

But the cultivation journey is truly difficult, to cultivate one disciple requires a huge amount of resources from within a sect. This time, Purple Dragon Island lost sixteen disciples in Fire Eye Mountain Secret Realm, the loss is not to be underestimated.

However, after all, the only surviving disciple brought out a Treasure Box from the Secret Realm guarded by the great array constructed by the Demon Lord. As long as the treasures within the Treasure Box are precious enough, the losses can still be accepted.

"Ten Thousand Dragon Blood Array?"

Suddenly, an elder from another sect recalled something and exclaimed in shock: "This Ten Thousand Dragon Blood Array doesn’t have much to do with cultivation level, only people with great wisdom, bravery, and spiritual insight have a chance to pass through. It’s rumored that years ago, a peak Taiyi Golden Immortal who hadn’t eliminated his inner demons stepped into the Ten Thousand Dragon Blood Array and in less than a moment, his soul perished!"

This statement startled everyone present.

"Protected by such a high-level grand array, and being the collection of Demon Lord Bai Mushuang, the contents of this Treasure Box definitely cannot be underestimated. It’s possible that it’s even more precious than the Purple Cloud Divine Wood that was just taken by someone."

"Alas, the younger generation of West Sea Purple Dragon Island is indeed commendable. This expedition to the Demon Lord’s Temple, Purple Dragon Island may come out on top."

An abnormal person with six heads and twelve arms nodded one of its heads and said, "Not necessarily, the Demon Lord’s Temple is so vast, how could there possibly be just one small Treasure Box? However, since this is the case, the items contained in this Treasure Box definitely cannot be underestimated either."

He stepped forward, gave a slight bow to Daoist Xiao Qi, and said with a smile, "Why doesn’t the Daoist first open the Treasure Box and let everyone have a look at the treasure, so we all can know exactly what level of item is hidden within this Divine Hall?"

At this, everyone gathered around, looking at the Treasure Box in Gu Jianqing’s hands with expectant eyes.

Daoist Xiao Qi and Yu Ding, flanked by Heavenly Venerate and Real Person Jade respectively, stood on either side of Daoist Xiao Qi. The rest circled around them — too many people meant those of lesser cultivation were pushed outward, and nearly all of those in the innermost circle were powerful beings of the Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm.

A female fairy noticed Gu Jianqing on his knees, shaking, and patted him on the shoulder with a smile, "Don’t be nervous. To pass the Ten Thousand Dragon Blood Array at such a young age is indeed an extraordinary feat. Moreover, you have brought back such a precious collection from Demon Lord Bai Mushuang for West Sea Purple Dragon Island, which is a great achievement. Your master will not blame you."

Hearing this, Gu Jianqing felt a bit relieved and seeing many experts surrounding him, he felt even more proud.

He said, "All my fellow brothers died for this treasure. As the eldest disciple, I failed to take care of my fellow sect members and am deeply ashamed. How dare I claim any credit?"

"Enough talk."

Daoist Xiao Qi spoke coldly, but her brows relaxed a lot upon hearing the whispers of the various Daoists around.

She felt a slight warmth from the Treasure Box, and her slender fingers gently traced the golden edges of the box.

Ten Thousand Dragon Blood Array — a Killing Array made in imitation of the Tai Chi Diagram, she too had heard of the array’s formidable reputation.

As Daoist Xiao Qi slowly opened the Treasure Box, everyone around held their breath and focused, until it was fully opened and the contents were fully exposed.

From Gu Jianqing’s perspective, he couldn’t see what was inside the box at all — he had to make a preliminary judgment based on the reactions of the people around him, but at this moment, there was no reaction at all.

After a long while, Real Person Jade frowned slightly and said, "This sticky, yellowish mess, what kind of treasure is it? Does any Daoist recognize it?"

An old man with white hair and beard approached, sniffed and said, "Could this be the legendary breath soil? It smells sour and somewhat stinky. So this is what breath soil smells like?"

Daoist Xiao Qi also showed confusion, pinching a bit between her fingers. It was wet and sticky, utterly lacking any spiritual sensation, and resembled something that...

Everyone had a feeling of what it looked like, but no one believed that the thing Demon Lord Bai Mushuang protected within the Ten Thousand Dragon Blood Array could possibly be...

"Could this just be a puddle of mushy feces?"

An outer sword cultivator craned his neck and peeked. He had indulged in mortal food too much recently and had a bit of diarrhea.

With these words, Gu Jianqing, holding the Treasure Box, felt as though struck by lightning. What happened to the talk about breath soil? How suddenly does it turn into a pile of mushy feces?

Impossible!

Right now, more than a dozen Taiyi Golden Immortals and my master are gathered around looking at a pile of mushy feces in my hand?

This absolutely cannot be!

At this moment, Gu Jianqing really wanted to see for himself what exactly was in the Treasure Box, but without Daoist Xiao Qi’s permission, he didn’t dare to move.

The venerable Daoist Xiao Qi looked at the sticky yellow substance on her finger and her body trembled uncontrollably.

Immortals do not sleep or eat and naturally have no need for toilets.

She hadn’t defecated in nearly a thousand years.

But looking at her hand, and at what’s in this Treasure Box, sticky and warm... if it wasn’t feces, what was it?

And a fresh pile at that!

In a flash, Daoist Xiao Qi felt her mind go blank. She felt that, at this moment, the gazes of the Daoists from various sects around her were like swords, causing no harm but filled with mockery.

Indeed, her feeling was not wrong.

"Ah!!!!"

"Gu Jianqing!!!!"

"You! Are you doing this on purpose! Are you mocking me!!!!"
