Chapter 453 - 394: Innate Supreme Treasure: Donghuang Ring!

Inside Junzi Temple, the evil qi in Chu Huaixu’s eyes intensified.

The white hair on Xu Ziqing’s head was strikingly apparent.

He was clearly supposed to be a bright young man, yet his head bore so many silver strands.

Though his appearance hadn’t changed much, his gaze had lost its previous clarity and brightness, gaining a hint of weariness.

If it were just the hair turning white, that wouldn’t be a problem.

As a transmigrator, Chu Huaixu actually found it quite stylish, like a trendy highlight...

But the change in the eyes, that was different.

When people are young, their eyes are much brighter; once they grow old, their eyes become more clouded.

What kind of price Xiaoxu paid, he didn’t know.

But he imagined it must have harmed the body’s fundamental foundation!

Thinking of this, he wanted even more to string up the Cat Demon and give it a beating.

Xu Ziqing, seeing the anger in his senior brother’s eyes, even though he was in such a state, his first reaction was still to quickly reassure his senior brother, worried that he would be anxious for him.

"Senior brother, I’m fine, really."

"Don’t look at my current state; I’ll be back to full strength after a while."

"Really."

Chu Huaixu looked at him and said, not in a good mood:

"Do you take me for a fool?"

"Think I’m that easy to deceive?"

"You’re just someone who can’t lie!"

"When you lie, your voice lacks confidence, your eyes dodge, doesn’t your heart know?" He couldn’t help but chide a few times.

Facing the young man who didn’t back down even against Nascent Soul True Monarch, now just a few words from his senior brother made him shrink his neck, like a quail.

Xiang Yan and others watched from the side, looking at each other, feeling both amused and helpless.

Ah, these two brothers!

Chu Huaixu, seeing Xu Ziqing like this, was first filled with anger, but eventually his gaze softened.

He sighed lightly and said:

"Well, as long as you returned safely."

"You resolved the issues in the Origin Spirit Realm, benefiting the common people, how could I scold a heroic figure right upon waking?"

Upon hearing this, Xiaoxu grew anxious.

"Senior brother, I’m... I’m not some hero."

Chu Huaixu said speechlessly: "I’m not being sarcastic, why wouldn’t you be a hero?"

"If you’re not, then what about my visits, are those not counted?" He glared at Xiaoxu.

Xu Ziqing immediately got anxious: "Of course, you’re a hero, senior brother!"

This made Chu Huaixu feel somewhat socially awkward in front of the other senior members.

Even with his thick skin, he felt uncomfortable facing Xiaoxu’s expression.

Seeing this, the group couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

After some casual chatter, Xiang Yan, the Sect Leader, took charge of the situation.

The group sat on wooden benches under the tree, not even going to the main hall for a meeting.

Xu Ziqing recounted his experiences in the Origin Spirit Realm in detail.

Unfortunately, he was soon replaced by the Evil Sword, so he didn’t know many details.

"Describe the appearance of the opposing cultivator," Chu Huaixu instructed.

Xiaoxu immediately complied.

After he finished, Chu Huaixu sharply said: "Wen Shiyu!"

"I... I’m here!" She said with a slight tremor in her voice.

"Tell me, who is this Nascent Soul True Monarch?" Chu Huaixu glanced at her.

From her reaction, he could tell this Nascent Soul True Monarch might be... extraordinary!

"Reporting to the master, based on appearance, he... he should be my senior brother."

"He is called True Monarch Ling Xiao, known as... Kunlun’s foremost True Monarch."

"Possessing... possessing the title of the world’s number one Nascent Soul."

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned.

A big figure indeed!

Chu Huaixu looked at Wen Shiyu and continued:

"Then isn’t he the foremost under Divinity Transformation?"

Upon hearing this, Wen Shiyu’s body immediately tensed, saying: "Master, such words are a great offense to Immortal Venerable like you; we dare not speak them."

Listening to this, Chu Huaixu once again felt the fear and reverence cultivators have for Immortal Venerables.

Being the world’s number one Nascent Soul means being the best under Divinity Transformation.

But due to taboo, even such a title can’t be spoken.

Unbeknownst to him, Wen Shiyu was stealing glances at the white-haired young man.

"He... he actually killed my senior brother!"

In her mind, Xu Ziqing was just the master’s little follower.

All day long, "senior brother, senior brother," getting foolishly happy with a single praise from the master.

Such a person could actually kill her incredibly strong senior brother!

"And... why did senior send my senior brother?"

"This is unreasonable!"

Senior brother’s identity and status were such.

His true role should manifest only when Kunlun Cave Heaven invades Profound Yellow on a large scale.

Yet, ordinary True Monarchs don’t have the strength to activate the Donghuang Ring and the array pattern, stripping away the fruit position.

This is absolutely impossible.

Wen Shiyu now only felt: "These two brothers are terrifying..."

"Could it be that we have always underestimated the Profound Yellow Realm, underestimated this Daoist Sect!"

"Worthy of... a sect founded by Dao Ancestor!" Wen Shiyu thought.

Chu Huaixu gave her a faint glance, but finally didn’t ask anything further.

He thought to first listen to all of Xiaoxu’s experiences, then if he had any questions, he would ask this servant thoroughly.

"Xiaoxu, continue speaking," he instructed.

Xu Ziqing nodded and began to continue narrating.

Through his description, Chu Huaixu couldn’t help but slightly frown and said:

"From what you said earlier, True Monarch Ling Xiao was very surprised when he saw it wasn’t me coming?"

Xu Ziqing replied, "Yes, and it wasn’t just surprise, or rather... there was also anger and disappointment, extreme anger and disappointment."

"Senior Brother, I suspect he came specifically for you, and he probably made some targeted preparations."

Chu Huaixu nodded slightly upon hearing this and said, "That indeed is a possibility."

Xiang Yan and the others couldn’t help but fix their gazes.

The Sect Leader spoke, "We had discussed this point earlier as well."

"If Kunlun does nothing, that would be unusual."

Previously, Wen Shiyu came with a small world of Kunlun Cave Heaven, where she could exert her full strength on that black sea, while Chu Huaixu was originally suppressed by Kunlun Heavenly Dao.

That was the preparation they made last time.

Now, Chu Huaixu had obtained the Night Venerable Fruit Position.

Perhaps Kunlun could be aware of this?

This time, their targeting will certainly be much stronger than last time!

"The importance of the Fruit Position is self-evident," Chu Huaixu thought.

"It might even cause the Kunlun Heavenly Dao to collapse, leading to incomplete world rules."

"In this way, Kunlun will definitely spare no expense, trying every possible way to retrieve the Fruit Position."

Chu Huaixu looked at Wen Shiyu and asked, "Wen Shiyu! Is there a method to strip the Fruit Position?"

"This... this servant does not know," she showed a difficult expression.

Master, I am just in the Nascent Soul Stage.

In the eyes of other cultivators, I am an incredibly powerful existence.

But in front of an Immortal Venerable, I am still just an ant.

Only a slightly larger ant.

The method of detaching the Fruit Position is too far from her.

Chu Huaixu slightly lowered his eyelids, pondering in his heart:

"If it really is all the arrangement of the Dao Ancestor."

"Could it truly be related to the Fruit Position, so they didn’t let me enter the Spirit Realm?"

He wasn’t sure if this was merely his own wild speculation.

Xiang Yan and others exchanged glances, only feeling that this matter had become even more mysterious.

Xu Ziqing began to continue his description, but later on, it was only the Evil Sword that fought in his place.

After speaking, he slightly lowered his head in shame, saying:

"Ziqing is incompetent and could only rely on the Daoist Ancestor Sword to win. Due to the sword’s uniqueness, True Monarch Ling Xiao’s Storage Ring could not be retained."

For the Profound Yellow Realm, True Monarch Ling Xiao is the first True Monarch, and the contents inside his Storage Ring hold great research value.

"Only three items remained at the end," the young man said.

Upon hearing this, Xiang Yan, with his fierce-looking bald head, immediately spoke soothing words with that unpleasant voice:

"Hey! Ziqing, do not speak like that; this was a helpless action, and besides, these are your spoils of war."

"To escape the devouring of Evil Qi, it seems these three items are definitely no ordinary items."

Xu Ziqing immediately nodded and said, "The first item is this Profound Yellow Origin Fragment."

"Then, it’s this ring and human skin."

He took the ring off his left hand and took the human skin from his chest.

Xiang Yan waved his big hand, and the ring floated in the air. Everyone took turns probing it with their divine sense, but couldn’t discern anything or activate it.

Chu Huaixu, however, felt a sense of connection with it in the dark.

Or rather, it was the Black Jade Lotus Platform in his body that sensed it.

But the dead fox would not act recklessly.

"Wen Shiyu, what is this thing?" he asked.

"This servant does not know," she replied.

No one dared to look directly at the Immortal Venerable, so naturally, they didn’t know that this was the ring worn on the Immortal Venerable’s hand.

Hearing this, Chu Huaixu frowned slightly.

With a wave of his big hand, the floating ring fell into his palm.

He closed his eyes, attempting to activate it using the Black Jade Lotus Platform.

In the next moment, the patterns engraved on the ring began to flicker with a faint light, as if the ring had been activated!

An ancient yet supreme aura began to spread from the ring, permeating the surroundings!

Wen Shiyu watched this unfold, completely stunned, as if struck by lightning.

Even her voice began to tremble, speaking in a tone of disbelief:

"This... this aura is..."

"This is an Innate Supreme Treasure!"

"Could this be the Donghuang Ring of the Master!!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Huaixu turned to look at her.

"Oh? The Innate Supreme Treasure Donghuang Ring?"

Wen Shiyu swallowed a gulp of water, speaking out, "Master, it is said that an Innate Supreme Treasure was born at the beginning of chaos, transformed by the power of the Heavenly Dao, possessing supreme divine techniques."

"What can it be used for?" Chu Huaixu asked.

"This servant does not know, and nor... nor is she worthy to know," Wen Shiyu replied.

"It is said that even if an ordinary cultivator obtains an Innate Supreme Treasure, they cannot harness much of its power, only an Immortal Venerable can fully control it!"

Listening to these words, Xu Ziqing’s eyes couldn’t help but brighten again and again.

"Then it suits Senior Brother perfectly!" he said excitedly.

"Senior Brother, why don’t I offer this treasure to you!" The young man didn’t even say give, but offer.

...

(ps: Asking for a monthly ticket.)
