Chapter 503: 411 Yellow Sparrow_1

The Nine-Headed Ghost Pigeon is very sensitive to the essence of Ghost Creatures; there’s no way to conceal anything from it.

"Nine Curves Reverend entered Immortal Fall Island seeking treasures and was seriously injured by a Poison Cultivator at the Late Stage of Nascent Soul. He hid here to heal his wounds. His physical body was severely damaged. He abandoned his body and waited for someone predestined to break the prohibition, intending to seize the body of the one who breaks it,"

the Nine-Headed Ghost Pigeon said.

Swallowing the essence of living beings allowed it to probe everything about them, somewhat similar to the Soul Search technique.

Some cultivation methods and secret techniques could resist the Soul Search technique, but they were no use at all; once the Nine-Headed Ghost Pigeon devoured the essence of a living being, it would know everything, which was far more formidable than the Soul Search technique.

The Ancient Great Demon was certainly not a name gained lightly.

Shen Long nodded and put the Nine-Headed Ghost Pigeon back into the Spirit Beast Bracelet.

With a single beckoning gesture, a yellow Storage Bracelet flew towards him and landed in his hand, his wrist flicked.

After a sweep of yellow aura, a large pile of items appeared on the ground.

There were three Spiritual Treasures: a yellow round pearl, a yellow Gourd, and a yellow Banner Flag; more than two million Spirit Stones, as well as twelve materials for refining Spiritual Treasures.

"Yellow Origin Pearl, Nine Curves Gourd, Yellow Sand Banner."

Shen Long’s face showed joy as he obtained three more Spiritual Treasures, which was quite satisfactory.

He sat down cross-legged and began to refine these three Spiritual Treasures.

The Yellow Origin Pearl was a Defensive Spirit Treasure, the Nine Curves Gourd could spout Nine Curves Sand suited for both attack and defense, and the Yellow Sand Banner was an offensive Spiritual Treasure.

His gaze fell on two jade boxes sealed with Talismans, and he opened both.

One contained a Thousand-Year Qixia Jade Lotus, and the other a stalk of Demon Attracting Grass.

"At least three thousand years old, haha!"

Shen Long said excitedly.

During his journey to the Ziyang Monarch’s dojo, Shen Long had to abandon a piece of Demon Attracting Grass over a thousand years old to save his life. He never expected to now obtain one that was over three thousand years old.

Shen Long sorted and collected the items on the ground, then jumped onto the back of the Fire Qilin Beast.

As soon as the Fire Qilin Beast stepped out of the cave, Shen Long frowned, his wrist flicked, and the Pursuing Spirit Beast flew out of the Spirit Beast Bracelet, landing on the ground.

The Pursuing Spirit Beast let out a deep roar, apparently it had encountered someone familiar to Shen Long.

The Hundred Eyes Cicada’s research lit up with blinding golden light as it sought out a target.

"Nine Curves cultivator, how did he end up with Qianji True Monarch?"

Shen Long wondered.

Qianji True Monarch had single-handedly killed an early Fourth Order Thunder Flood Dragon, Shen Long did not want to encounter him, and had specifically instructed the Pursuing Spirit Beast to remember Qianji True Monarch’s Divine Sense fluctuations.

Shen Long thought for a moment and decided to follow and see.

Qianji True Monarch was already at the Late Stage of Nascent Soul, there weren’t many things that could interest him.

······

A hundred miles away, in a narrow valley, Qianji True Monarch, a nine-age cultivator, and a broad-shouldered young man in silver were walking slowly with vigilant expressions on their faces.

After passing through the valley, a vast expanse of black forest appeared before them, where hundred-feet tall trees reached towards the sky.

Qianji True Monarch furrowed his brow and halted, his right hand glowing brightly as he struck out with a palm, and a giant blue hand flashed out, crashing down onto the ground.

With a thunderous boom, the ground shook violently, revealing a giant handprint and a pile of obliterated flesh.

"There are quite a few Fourth Order Monster Beasts here, and those proficient in the art of concealment are the most troublesome,"

the nine-age cultivator frowned and said.

"As long as there really is Dragon Transformation Grass, these troubles are nothing,"

the silver-clothed young man spoke.

"Taoist Friend Wang, rest assured, I don’t have the courage to deceive you,"

the nine-age cultivator said.

"Let’s get the Dragon Transformation Grass quickly and leave Immortal Fall Island as soon as possible."

Qianji True Monarch urged.

They walked ahead, disappearing into the dense forest.

Half an hour later, a mound of earth rose from the ground as Shen Long emerged from beneath, his face revealing a thoughtful expression.

"Dragon Transformation Grass!"

Shen Long muttered to himself.

Old Dragon Transformation Grass can benefit the Flood Dragon in advancing its stage, and may even increase the purity of the Flood Dragon’s bloodline.

The Dragon Transformation Grass has very stringent requirements for its growing environment, making it very difficult to cultivate artificially.

With old Dragon Transformation Grass, it is possible to enhance the purity of the Ice Flood Dragon’s bloodline, and coupled with the Millennia Qixia Jade Lotus, significantly increase its chances of mutating.

Shen Long slipped underground and followed them.

With the Concealing Spirit Cloak in hand, as long as he doesn’t follow too closely, Qianji True Monarch should be unable to detect Shen Long.

Two days later, the three figures of Qianji True Monarch appeared at the foot of a steeply rising peak.

"Taoist Friend Lin, have we not reached our destination yet?" Qianji True Monarch asked, frowning.

’We have arrived.’

Nine Curves Reverend spoke up, flicking his sleeve, a yellow Banner Flag about a foot long flew out of his hand, turning into a streak of yellow light that vanished into the stone wall.

The stone wall lit up with a yellow light, revealing a doorway about a zhang wide.

Nine Curves Reverend strode in, Qianji True Monarch expanded his Divine Sense and, detecting no anomalies, followed suit, with the silver-robed youth following closely behind.

Before long, they reached the end, entering an underground cavern.

The top of the cavern was lined with stalactites of varying lengths, the walls uneven with no apparent special features.

Nine Curves Reverend took out another yellow Banner Flag and infused it with a spell; the Banner Flag immediately radiated yellow light and flew in front of a particular rock face, giving a light shake.

A yellow light flashed on the rock wall, revealing a circular stone door with a fierce ghostly face engraved, its runes flickering.

"This is the Blood Ghost Devouring Spirit Barrier, to think it’s this kind of restriction." Qianji True Monarch said, with a frown.

"Otherwise, I wouldn’t have invited the two Taoist Friends to help break the barrier," Nine Curves Reverend said, producing a red, foot-long sharp cone.

The red cone lit up with a dazzling red light, discharged a large number of red arcs, turning into a red rainbow that struck the circular door.

Qianji True Monarch summoned two gigantic Ape Puppets, pinched a spell, and as they opened their jaws, glimmers of golden light appeared within.

With a flash of light, they each sprayed out two thick beams of golden light that hit the circular door.

The silver-robed youth’s body shone brightly with silver light, sprouting numerous silver dragon scales. He looked up to the heavens and let out a long howl, emitting the sound of dragon’s chant.

He opened his mouth and spewed out a thick beam of silver lightning, striking the circular door.

A booming roar erupted, with various Spiritual Lights engulfing the circular door.

"The two Taoist Friends, increase your attack power; let’s break this barrier as quickly as possible." Nine Curves Reverend intoned gravely; with another urge of his spell, the red cone shone even more brightly, hitting the circular door.

Qianji True Monarch and the silver-robed youth intensified their attacks, and as the booming noises resounded, the entire cavern shook violently.

A series of ghastly wails arose, sounding so sorrowful they dampened one’s spirits.

The trio from Nine Curves Reverend ceased their attacks, the Spiritual Lights dissipated, and the circular door reappeared.

The ghostly face on the circular door seemed to come to life, letting out chilling ghostly cries as copious amounts of blood-red liquid flowed from its mouth, eyes, and nostrils, staining the door.

After a while, the door cracked in multiple places, revealing a stoneroom a hundred zhang in size.

In the center of the stone room, there lay a humanoid skeleton draped in a tattered green robe, its bones blackened in several places, the skull fractured.

On the wall hung a painting of a tall, elderly man in a green robe. Below it was placed a square green altar, on which three glimmering Spiritual Treasures and a green Storage Bracelet were set.
