Chapter 1372: Chapter 1376 Fengdeng City

"You two, you two, calm down for a moment. I think I’ve figured out the root of your dispute—it’s about whether the Toad Immortal ate the Kirin Immortal’s nephew, right? Isn’t this a simple matter? Let me investigate for you!" Zhu Minglang said.

"The bones have already been digested. How do you plan to investigate?" the Kirin Demon asked.

"The Human Race has many deities skilled in communicating with spirits, including the Yin Spirit God and such. Give me the Miao Sea God Bead you mentioned, and I’ll consult someone proficient in this type of spell. We can roughly determine what happened. If I can find your nephew’s spirit, it’ll be even simpler; he can tell us directly what occurred," Zhu Minglang said.

"I can give the item to you, but what if you run off with it?" the Toad Immortal said.

"If I wanted to run, you wouldn’t be able to stop me. I’m doing this as a favor to resolve your conflict. If you keep doubting me like this, it’s no fun," Zhu Minglang replied.

"I don’t want to get entangled with this beast, or else why would I need a Human junior to clear my name!" the Toad Immortal retorted.

"I can help you uncover the truth, but let me be clear: if it turns out the Toad Immortal didn’t eat the Kirin Immortal’s nephew, then how will the Kirin Immortal respond?" Zhu Minglang asked.

"If it didn’t eat my nephew, I’ll serve as its servant for a hundred years!" the Kirin Demon declared.

"You said it. That’s your word!"

"I said it! But what if it did eat him?" the Kirin Demon demanded.

"I... I’ll chop myself up and let you eat me raw!" the Toad Immortal proclaimed.

Seeing that both demon cultivators were fully invested in the argument, Zhu Minglang nodded in satisfaction, adopting the demeanor of an impartial judge. He said, "Alright, I’ll look into the matter and provide the results to you both. Based on the reliability of the outcome, I’ll choose whom to support. The other party should honor the bet without further meaningless struggles."

"Agreed!"

"Agreed!"

...

The two demon cultivator bigshots were true to their word and didn’t trouble Zhu Minglang further.

They handed the Miao Sea God Bead to Zhu Minglang, and instantaneously, his face lit up with delight!

Oh my, what a treasure!

Even among the Moon Radiance Stage, this is considered a rare jewel. It would surely make even the leaders of the Southern Heavenly Palace green with envy!

Zhu Minglang never expected that a few casual words would deceive them into handing over such a priceless spiritual bead.

Could it be that after ascending to the Moon Radiance Stage, his luck had returned?

Little Glutton had devoured a Moon Radiance-level female Dragon Immortal Emperor, likely unlocking one Active Blood God Cleansing.

The Chongwang Dragon had also feasted in an undersea tomb, unlocking one Skeletal God Cleansing as well.

As for this Miao Sea God Bead, it would likely be most useful for the Ten Thousand Dread-Earthbound Dragon. Once consumed and digested, its cultivation base might recover to its peak in no time!

However, those two old monsters outside still stood united when facing external foes. Relying solely on the Dread-Earthbound Dragon might not be enough—I’d need the Sword Spirit Dragon for this.

But based on the earlier exchange, neither the Kirin Demon nor the Toad Immortal carried any demonic malice or aura of brutal slaughter. They likely don’t rely on violent carnage to cultivate.

Helping them out and earning the trust of these two demon immortals could be a worthwhile move.

Either way, Zhu Minglang had already decided to keep the Miao Sea God Bead. Whether to fulfill their request or not would depend on his mood!

...

Arriving at Fengdeng Divine City, the most prosperous city under the City of Ten Thousand Miles, Zhu Minglang passed beneath the grand statue of the Fengdeng Dragon Ancestor and discovered that the city was hosting a festival.

The streets, courtyards, and grand halls were filled with men and women in breezy, barely-there clothing. Though scantily clad, their garments gleamed with vivid, stunning colors.

Above Fengdeng Divine City, nine Hong Fu Xiang Dragons had appeared, summoning wave after wave of blessed rain!

The blessed rain resembled a dazzling rainbow shower, and the city’s denizens bared so much skin precisely to ensure their bodies were fully bathed in this rain of fortune. They sought to feel the divine blessings of the gods, divine dragons, and ancestor gods!

This was evidently an extravagantly auspicious celebration, befitting of Fengdeng City, the foremost divine city of the Ten Thousand Miles Heaven. Its gods were among the most revered not only within the city but across the entire Jun Tian.

"Master Sister, are you going to receive blessings too?" Zhu Minglang asked, following Weaver Star closely.

"I’ll just make an appearance," Weaver Star replied.

"Master, for the Great Yearly Competition, let me go instead. I’ll certainly secure that Miao Sea Immortal Bead for you!" Gong Yuexia offered.

"What Great Yearly Competition?" Zhu Minglang inquired curiously.

"The direct disciples also need to compete. You didn’t know that?" Qin Wu scoffed.

"The Southern Heavenly Palace possesses some rare spirit roots. Since opinions among the immortals differ regarding their distribution, the contests between direct disciples usually determine the allocation," Weaver Star explained.

"Oh... I see..." Zhu Minglang nodded. Then he leaned closer to Weaver Star and whispered conspiratorially, "Master Sister is about to break through into the Solar Corona Level, right? This Miao Sea Immortal Bead should be immensely helpful to you."

"It’s certainly useful," Weaver Star replied candidly.

"Then leave it to me," Zhu Minglang said with rock-solid confidence.

After all, when the Nine-tailed Dragon advanced to the Nine Kun Dragons, it was thanks to great help from Master Sister. It was time for him to repay the favor.

"We’ll discuss this later. After the festival concludes, I’ll take you to meet the Ancestor Temple God. You must abide by the rules and, especially you, Zhu Lang, refrain from your usual casual demeanor. Be mindful of your manners!" Weaver Star emphasized.

Zhu Minglang smiled sheepishly.

That’s called carefree.

Still, for Weaver Star to speak so solemnly about decorum, whoever they were about to meet must be someone extraordinary—to even warrant such caution from Weaver Star herself.

Who could it possibly be?

...

In the pavilion, Zhu Minglang couldn’t muster any interest in the so-called Fengdeng Festival.

Outside, the festivities reached a deafening pitch as waves of cheers erupted. Zhu Minglang distinctly overheard the crowd’s unified chant of a god’s name.

Every divine being representing prosperity seemed slated to make an appearance today, including perhaps the most venerated—the Ancestor Temple God of Fengdeng City.

Zhu Minglang had no inclination to partake in the excitement. After all, no matter how noble a god might claim to be, he had pummeled them all in the Dragon Gate anyway.

Taking a moment for himself, Zhu Minglang went to liquidate the Undersea Jewelry Mountain he had extorted from the Lascivious Dragon Immortal Emperor!

Big cities like this were great; even the most colossal treasures could be absorbed at once.

Zhu Minglang also sold off that inferior-quality Moon Radiance God Soul Bead and exchanged it for a single Dead Spirit Divine Soul Bead!

Holidays make for happy trading partners.

An inferior soul bead paired with a trove of undersea treasures netted Zhu Minglang a high-quality Dead Spirit Moon Soul Bead, a deal he was more than satisfied with!

This Dead Spirit Divine Soul Bead could serve as a primary material for the Chongwang Dragon’s Six Divine Cleansing. Thanks to this transaction, Zhu Minglang felt immensely pleased—now the Chongwang Dragon possessed the second stage of the Six Divine Cleansing.

If better-quality materials could be obtained later on, the Chongwang Dragon’s power and cultivation base might very well catapult to a whole new realm!
