My Cold and Elegant CEO Wife - Chapter 1870

Chapter 1870: The Treasure at the Bottom of the Palace

Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated

 

Qingfeng’s expression changed as soon as he stepped into the palace. The palace was not simple, strictly speaking, he could sense a mysterious presence underneath it.

Qingfeng had a sharp innate sense. He utilized his spirit energy and easily sensed that there were many treasures buried under the palace.

However, his spirit energy was only released for a moment when a white dome suddenly appeared and rebounded it.

Qingfeng stopped in his tracks and a drop of cold sweat appeared on his brow. The rebounding force was too powerful. If Qingfeng was any other self-cultivator, he would be severely wounded.

Luckily, Qingfeng’s power and spirit energy were quite powerful so he could tolerate the rebounding force.

A flash of confusion appeared on the Spider Princess’s eyes when she saw that Qingfeng had stopped in his tracks. She asked, “What is wrong? What happened just now? Why are you sweating?”

Qingfeng smiled faintly and said, “Spider Princess, there must be treasures buried under the Palace right? Or a high-tier dynasty like yours would not build a huge palace here.”

The Spider Princess was stunned. She did not expect Qingfeng to discover the treasures just after taking a few steps into the palace.

Qingfeng was the first low-tier spirit monarch realm self-cultivator to discover the treasures.

A while ago, the Spider Dynasty Emperor had walked into Five-Poison City and discovered a treasure buried under the city. The abundant treasures were left behind by a sixth level spirit monarch who used to be a subordinate of the Sun Monarch.

But the treasures were too abundant and protected by a defensive array formation. Thus, the Spider Dynasty Emperor ordered his subordinates to build an enormous palace above the treasures to hide them.

Why else would the Spider Dynasty Emperor build a palace? Building a palace required a lot of money, human resources, and materials. The emperor’s motive was to obtain the underground treasures.

This secret was only known to two people. The first was the Spider Dynasty Emperor and the second was the Spider Princess. But now, Qingfeng had found the secret with a single glance.

The Spider Princess was stunned. The young man before her was like a mystery.

Qingfeng smiled faintly and said, “If I am not wrong. You guys built a palace to hide the treasures. But you have yet to gain access to the underground treasures. If you have, you would have left already.”

The Spider Princess nodded and said, “You are correct. It’s no wonder my father asked me to use all my powers to obtain your help. You are definitely worth seeking out. Let us go. My father is still waiting for you. He wants to see you.”

Under her guidance, Qingfeng and the others speedily walked towards the depths of the palace. They quickly arrived in a large hall.

The hall was dozens of meters tall. The columns within the hall were all covered in gold and the ground was covered in precious meteorites that shone brightly. The sight sent tremors to one’s heart.

There were some monarch grade scriptures on the ground. Of course, it was to cover up the presence of the treasure underground.

Just as Qingfeng walked into the hall, he saw a middle-aged man sitting on a chair sculpted like a spider.

The middle-aged man had sharp features and wore a black robe. There were spider tattoos on his body. The tattoos were not of dragons as spiders were the ancestors of the people of Spider Dynasty.

The Spider Dynasty Emperor stood up and walked to Qingfeng’s side. He said, “You must be Qingfeng Li. I heard about you from my daughter and the Moon Saintess. I heard that you are an extraordinary figure, so I invited you here today.”

Qingfeng smiled faintly and said, “Your highness, you are too kind. You are the emperor of a high-tier Dynasty and a level six spirit monarch realm fighter. I am only a junior. You do not need to be so polite.”

The Spider Dynasty Emperor shook his head and said, “No, I should. I heard that you are well-versed in array formations. I would like to seek your help.”

Qingfeng said, “Your highness, you want me to open the entrance to the underground treasures?”

The Spider Dynasty Emperor was surprised. Only his daughter and himself knew of the treasure. Did his daughter tell Qingfeng about the treasures?

The Spider Dynasty Emperor casted a glance to Spider Princess and waited for an answer.

The Spider Princess shook her head and said, “Father, I did not tell Qingfeng. He sensed the presence of the treasures after he entered the palace.”

Gasp!

The Spider Dynasty Emperor breathed in sharply. Even his Monarch level five protectors could not sense the treasures underneath the palace. This young man was truly extraordinary. He was as strong as himself!

At that thought, the Spider Dynasty Emperor was filled with confidence towards Qingfeng. He believed that he had made the correct decision in inviting Qingfeng to the palace.

Th eSpider Dynasty Emperor said, “Qingfeng, I will be brief. We need to quickly enter the underground palace and break through the protective array formation. There are a million demonic beasts outside of Five-Poison City. They are here for the treasures.”

Qingfeng nodded in realization. He was wondering why there were demonic monarch level demonic beasts surrounding Five-Poison City. It made sense now, they were here for the treasures!

It seemed like Spider Dynasty Emperor was not the only one who knew of the existence of the treasures.

Qingfeng nodded and walked after the Spider Dynasty Emperor towards the underground palace. The others followed behind them. They walked through a secret tunnel which began from behind the spider chair.

After the Spider Dynasty Emperor placed his palm on the chair and rotated it 180 degrees, the chair creaked before moving away.

A dark tunnel appeared underneath the chair. There were stairs made of meteorite that paved the steps towards the depths of the tunnel.

Spider Dynasty Emperor took out a Night Pearl which lit up the entire tunnel.

He led the path while Spider Princess, Qingfeng, Mengyao Xu, Ya Yun, and the others followed behind him.

The group walked forward down the spindling tunnel.

Chapter 1871: The Treasure from 5000 years ago

Qingfeng looked at the surroundings and discovered that there were manmade markings on the walls.

The underground tunnel must have been made by man. It must have taken enormous amounts of manpower, money, and supplies to make such a huge underground palace.

Qingfeng looked at the Spider Dynasty Emperor and said, “Your Majesty, how did you discover this treasure? Do you know its origins?”

The Spider Dynasty Emperor stopped in his tracks and explained, “When we first arrived at Five-Poison City, I felt a peculiar presence at the East end. I followed the presence and arrived here. Using my spirit to scout, I discovered a protective array underground. I then tried to find the mine hole. I spent an entire day looking for the entrance before finding it.”

“When I walked in, I was stunned by what I saw. There was an enormous underground palace with numerous treasures, techniques, and elixirs.”

“Even though thousands of years have passed and many things are no longer usable, a large amount of the things are still valuable. But I could not break the protective array.”

The treasures seems to belong to the Third General of the Sun Monarch. Back then, he was a pinnacle tier level six spirit monarch realm fighter. His name was famous throughout the entire Crimson Fire Continent.

But 5000 years ago, he was heavily wounded while trying to protect Sun Monarch. Before his death, he buried all of his treasures under the City.

With the explanation of the Spider Dynasty Emperor, Qingfeng started to have a clear understanding of the treasures under the City. The treasures belonged to a pinnacle tier level 6 spirit monarch realm fighter; it was worth spending some time to break through the array.

Qingfeng desperately needed to improve his own powers. He knew that he could only face Crimson Fire Monarch, the million-demon wave, and the Wind Eagle Dynasty Prince if he became more powerful. These people were his enemies, and he was bound to meet them sooner or later. He could only protect himself if he was powerful.

Qingfeng and the others traveled rapidly. Soon, they arrived at the bottom of the stone stairs.

An enormous palace appeared before Qingfeng. The palace was close to 30,000 square meters in size, with all kinds of treasures, techniques and elixirs within it.

As the Third General under the Sun Monarch, he had gathered numerous treasures. His wealth was comparable to a mid-tier Dynasty. In the end, a lot of the treasures were unused and buried underground.

Black Puppy and Sky-Devouring Snake yelled excitedly as they rushed towards the treasures.

“The treasures are all mine!” Black Puppy yelled as it reached its claw towards the treasures.

A white protective dome suddenly appeared and Black Puppy’s body was rebounded away, causing its expression to instantly change.

Black Puppy did not give up, it tried again. But its body was rebounded each time. Sky-Devouring Snake also tried to attack the protective dome but it was unsuccessful as well.

Even though there were many treasures within the underground palace, but the palace was surrounded by a white protective dome.

The white protective dome was caused by a Monarch’s Law talisman script. The red flames surrounded the Heavenly Scripture. Even after five thousand years, the flames had not disappeared and continued to burn brightly.

The Spider Dynasty Emperor said to Qingfeng, “I know that you are a powerful array master. I will leave this to you. If you manage to breakthrough the array, you can take away 1/3 of the treasures here.”

One had to admit that the Spider Dynasty Emperor was very generous. He was the one to find the treasures and also the one to build a palace just to hide away the treasures.

But now, he was willing to share 1/3 of the treasures with Qingfeng. It was definitely a tempting offer.

Qingfeng looked at Spider Dynasty Emperor and knew that the Monarch was someone who was destined for great things. Ordinary people would not be so generous. At most, they would be willing to give Qingfeng a few treasures. It was no wonder that he could become the Monarch of Spider Dynasty, there was a reason for everything.

Qingfeng smiled faintly and said, “Everyone move back. Let me examine this Monarch grade formation and crack it.”

Everyone took a dozen steps back to make space for Qingfeng.

Everyone placed their hopes on Qingfeng. They knew that only Qingfeng could crack the array. No one else would be able to do it.

Qingfeng walked along the perimeter of the enormous palace. He walked to the left, then to the right as a golden glow of his clairvoyance ability appeared in his eyes.

Soon, Qingfeng found a flaw on the first, seventh, eleventh, nineteenth, and forty-fifth scriptures.

Qingfeng opened his mouth and breathed out a breath of Golden Energy towards the Scriptures before using his Dragon Bone to hit them.

katcha, katcha, katcha~

The scriptures cracked and dissolved into silvery lights before disappearing.

Even though this array was a five-thousand-year-old monarch grade array, it was no match for Qingfeng’s golden flame.

As the scriptures disappeared, hundreds of cracks began to appear in the protective dome that surrounded the palace.

Qingfeng waved his golden fist forward and instantly smashed the protective dome into pieces. The treasures within the palace were all revealed.

A flash of happiness and excitement appeared on the Spider Dynasty Emperor and Spider Princess’s faces.

The Spider Princess said loudly, “You are so powerful! You even managed to crack a level six Monarch grade formation! We have made a wise decision to ask you to be a guest minister of the dynasty!”

The Spider Dynasty Emperor also looked at Qingfeng approvingly. There was also a hint of admiration in his eyes.

Qingfeng smiled faintly and said, “Everyone, go and find the treasures, technique, elixirs suitable for yourselves. Then, improve your cultivation.”

Chapter 1872: A Room Full of Spirit Stones

Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated

 

Qingfeng and the others all entered the enormous palace to search for treasures. Some of the treasures were placed in the middle of tables while others were placed ontop of chairs. Some were placed in secret compartments behind the walls.

There were secret mechanisms that one had to solve in order to open the compartments behind the walls. Some other treasures were placed in the rooms and protected with passwords and mechanisms.

Even if one managed to bypass the Monarch grade formation, one still had to use some methods to obtain the treasures.

Qingfeng did not go for the treasures within the large hall as they were Monarch level techniques, which were unattractive to him.

Qingfeng was currently practicing saint and immortal level techniques which were much more powerful than the techniques within the hall.

Of course, even though some of the Monarch level techniques were unattractive to Qingfeng, they were still attractive for the Lingyun Emperor, the Spider Princess, the Spider Dynasty Emperor, the Chief Commander, and the Sky Wolf Monarch.

Afterall, they had yet to surpass the pinnacle tier of Monarch level six; these techniques were very suitable for them. Furthermore, these were techniques from 5000 years ago.

Some techniques were even passed from the Sun Monarch to his Third General. The Sky Wolf Monarch and the others were in luck!

The Sky Wolf Monarch looked at the red scroll before him with excitement. The powerful technique written within the scroll was called the <Red Monarch Technique>. It would enable the user to expel dozens of Monarch level flames to burn their enemy into ashes.

The Sky Wolf Monarch was elated. He immediately walked to the side to practice the technique. As for the Chief Commander and the Lingyun Emperor, they also found suitable techniques for themselves.

Ya Yun was still browsing through the techniques indecisively. Only Qingfeng and Mengyao Xu stood aside; these techniques were too weak for them to practice.

Qingfeng walked to Ya Yun’s side and said, “What type of essence do you practice? I can help you choose a suitable technique.”

Ya Yun nodded and said, “I practice water elemental essence. I am currently in the second level of the Monarch realm.”

Qingfeng nodded and started to walk around the palace. The palace was enormous and there were many rooms and secret compartments within it. However, they were unable to open all the rooms.

After all, it had been 500 years. With time, some of the doors of the palace had rusted and become impossible to open.

Qingfeng utilized his spirit energy to carefully feel for the belongings behind the doors and compartments.

Qingfeng’s expression changed when he sensed a technique called <Water Wave Monarch Palm> behind a secret compartment.

<Water Wave Monarch Palm> was a monarch level six technique. It was obtained by the Sun Monarch after he killed a level six spirit monarch and given to the Third General.

The Third General practiced fire elemental techniques. Since the technique was not suitable for him, he threw it into this secret compartment to store it away. But now, it was discovered by Qingfeng.

Qingfeng reached out his fingers and lightly touched the walls before him. Instantly, a huge hole appeared before him.

Qingfeng entered a few numbers. He then found a protruding rock and pressed heavily on it. A cracking sound was heard, and the technique slid out of the secret compartment.

Qingfeng quickly grabbed onto the technique before the secret compartment returned to its original position.

The entire process happened in a flash, without a second of delay.

Ya Yun was stunned at the sight. In the past, Ya Yun only thought that Qingfeng was powerful and well-versed in alchemy arts and array formations.

But now, it seemed like Qingfeng was also knowledgeable about secret mechanisms. He was such an insane genius. It seemed like he could open and decode everything that came into his hands.

Ya Yun felt lucky that the Crimson Fire Business Alliance had reached out to Qingfeng and recruited him.

Qingfeng smiled faintly before passing over the technique into Ya Yun’s hands. He said, “This is a pinnacle tier Monarch level technique that is very suitable for you. You should practice it.”

Ya Yun nodded happily and took the technique. She quickly walked over to a corner and started to practice it.

Then, Qingfeng found two techniques that were very suitable for the Chief Commander and the Lingyun Emperor.

As for Black Puppy and Sky-Devouring Snake, they did not need any techniques. They had super powers from ancient times that would become more powerful as their power increased.

Qingfeng also searched for elixirs within the palace that could help him.

Soon, Qingfeng found dozens of elixirs. Unfortunately, the efficacy of these elixirs had disappeared after five thousand years. This made Qingfeng very unhappy. He initially wanted to use these elixirs to improve his power, but it seemed like that was impossible.

Qingfeng then turned to look at the spirit elixirs and realized that there were no medicinal effects left in them as well. After all, five thousand years was a very long period of time. Even the most powerful exlixir would become powerless. The exception was a sacred level spirit elixir.

Of course, it was impossible for there to be any sacred level spirit elixirs within the room. There were no sacred level spirit elixirs in the entire Crimson Fire Continent.

Suddenly, Qingfeng’s expression changed. He had sensed an overflowing amount of spirit energy in the room before him. There must be spirit stones there!

Qingfeng never expected to find spirit stones within the enormous palace. As expected of the Third General of the Sun Monarch! There was a roomful of spirit stones.

Qingfeng was delighted. He knew that his powers would improve exponentially with these spirit stones.

Qingfeng walked to the room and reached out his palm. His Heavenly Giant Palm slammed heavily towards the stone wall.

Boom!

Qingfeng’s palm was rebounded with a giant boom. He dazedly took a step back.

Qingfeng furrowed his brows and said in a low voice, “What’s going on? My strength is more than a million kilograms in power. Why can’t I blast open this stone wall? What material is it made of?”

The Spider Dynasty Emperor walked towards him and said, “This stone wall is a Grade 9 meteorite. Naturally, you are unable to blast it open.”

Chapter 1873: Opening the door

Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated

 

Qingfeng looked at the Spider Dynasty Emperor and said, “How do I open the Grade 9 Meteorite door?”

Spider Dynasty Emperor nodded and said, “Let us join forces. I am currently in the sixth level of the spirit monarch realm. You are in the third level, but your combat power is really strong. If we join forces, we can definitely blast open the wall. We can each take half of the spirit stones inside of the room.”

Qingfeng nodded and said, “Alright, let’s do it.”

Qingfeng utilized the Mortal Purgatory Body. His fist turned into a black scripture that looked like it came from hell; it was eerily cold and contained tremendous power.

The Spider Dynasty Emperor also took a step back when he felt the tremendous power, he dared not stay too close to Qingfeng.

In this attack, Qingfeng did not use his Gold Dao Seed since it was too well-known and one of the five heavenly elements.

Even though Qingfeng and the Spider Dynasty Emperor had joined forces, Qingfeng did not trust him too much. The Spider Dynasty Emperor might try to take away his Gold-type Dao seed if he knew of its presence.

One must know that a Gold-type Dao seed was even more precious than any sacred level technique. Even the room of spirit stones could not compare to the seed.

Qingfeng’s Mortal Purgatory Body fist contained terrifying power. It immediately broke the air when it appeared. Then, he slammed his fist towards the stone wall.

The Spider Dynasty Emperor also utilized his dark vital essence and a stormy black presence started to emit from his body.

The Spider Dynasty Emperor gathered a vital essence spider that was a hundred feet long into his fist. Then he swung his right fist ferociously towards the stone wall along with Qingfeng.

Boom!

With a loud boom, the meteorite door was shattered by the two bouts of wild forces. A big hole then appeared.

After the stone wall was open, a strong whiff of spirit qi floated towards Qingfeng. It was extremely dense like mist.

But it was not a mist, it was all spirit qi—the purest essence from Heaven and Earth.

Qingfeng and Spider Dynasty Emperor both took a large breath and felt a sense of refreshment. They could feel the spiritual essence within their bodies increase. Spirit essence was a purer and stronger power than vital essence. It was the purest essence from Heaven and Earth.

In the next moment, Qingfeng and Spider Dynasty Emperor were stunned to see that the hundred square meter room was filled with spirit stones.

The spirit stones were all monarch level and extremely precious. Each stone was the size of a fist. The stones were clear and bright. They emitted a strong spirit qi that filled the entire room.

The Spider Dynasty Emperor inhaled sharply when he saw the sight. They did not even have as many spirit stones in the dynasty. As expected of the third General of the Sun Monarch, the amount of spirit stones was so immense!

Spider Dynasty Emperor felt that if he absorbed all of the spirit stones inside of the room, he might be able to break through a few levels.

But he had already promised to share the spirit stones equally with Qingfeng.

The Spider Dynasty Emperor inhaled deeply as he suppressed the greed in his heart. He knew that outside of the palace, the Purple Scorpion Emperor, and the Million Devil waves were his true enemies. He must not make Qingfeng into an enemy because of these spirit stones.

If he fought with Qingfeng, they would both be heavily injured, and the others would take the chance to take advantage of them.

Spider Dynasty Emperor was someone who had been through a lot. He had lived for more than a thousand years even though he looked like a middle-aged man.

His youthful appearance was credited to his power as a sixth level spirit monarch. Furthermore, he used some special Immortal level elixirs to preserve his youth so he looked much younger than ordinary elders.

But even so, his life essence was slowly seeping away. After all, self-cultivators were fighting against Heaven’s will. Their lives would only be lengthened if their power increased.

Qingfeng looked at Spider Dynasty Emperor’s changing expressions.

Qingfeng naturally knew of the thoughts within Spider Dynasty Emperor’s mind. Even Qingfeng wanted the roomful of spirit stones for himself when he first saw the spirit stones.

But Qingfeng knew that it was impossible. The Spider Dynasty Emperor was at least three small realms stronger than himself. Even if Qingfeng managed to kill him, Qingfeng would be injured. That was not what he wanted.

More importantly, Qingfeng still needed to depend on the Spider Dynasty Emperor’s forces in Sky Rat City to protect Xue Lin. That was Qingfeng’s top priority.

If it was not for Xue Lin, Qingfeng did not mind burning bridges with the Spider Dynasty Emperor.

The Spider Dynasty Emperor looked at Qingfeng and said, “We will each take half of the spirit stones here.”

Qingfeng nodded and naturally agreed to his suggestion. The two of them exchanged knowing glances without speaking a word.

There were two thousand spirit stones within the room. Qingfeng took one thousand spirit stones while Spider Dynasty Emperor took the other half, robbing the place clean.

After obtaining the spirit stones, Qingfeng and Spider Dynasty Emperor said, “We need to absorb the power of the spirit stones as soon as possible to improve our power. The Million Demons Wave is coming soon.”

Qingfeng and the Spider Dynasty Emperor both left the room. Then, they found a secluded corner in the hall and started to absorb the spirit stones.

As for the Spider Princess, Mengyao Xu, Ya Yun, Black Puppy, and Sky-Devouring Snake, some of them practiced their newfound techniques while others absorbed their newfound elixirs. Everyone was trying to improve their powers.

They knew that they could only survive from the Million Devils Waves if they become stronger.

Qingfeng sat down in a secluded corner. Then, he placed the thousand spirit stones before him.

He crossed his legs and pressed his palms together to form the Heavenly Immortal Chant.

Heavenly Immortal Chant absorbed spirit qi rapidly. Just after he formed the chant, a green force appeared and instantly appeared among the thousand spirit stones.

The green force soaked up the spirit essence like a sponge in water. All of the spirit qi were absorbed into Qingfeng’s body.

Qingfeng’s spirit nucleus started to evolve rapidly. After he absorbed a large amount of spirit qi, his spirit nucleus started to spin and expand wildly.

Chapter 1874: Breaking Through into Fifth Level Spirit Monarch Realm

Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated

 

After absorbing a large amount of spirit energy, Qingfeng Li’s spirit core split and the number of marks on the core increased from three to four.

But it didn’t stop at four since it continued to change until one more mark appeared on it.

Five marks was the symbol of the fifth level of the spirit monarch realm.

While Qingfeng Li and the others were cultivating in the underground treasure palace, the whole Five Poison City was in an upheaval.

Qingfeng Li had killed many self-cultivators from the Purple Scorpion Dynasty and even beat their captain unconscious. Meanwhile, the dynasty’s Chief Advisor had been slapped to the ground by the Moon Saintess.

Of course, the monarch of the Purple Scorpion High Tier Dynasty couldn’t tolerate such humiliation.

Knowing the great power of Moon Saintess, he dared not to make trouble for her and thus directed all his anger toward Qingfeng Li and the monarch of the Spider Dynasty.

He blamed everything on Qingfeng Li, thinking all the damages and the severe wound suffered by the Chief Advisor were caused by Qingfeng Li.

To heal the Chief Advisor, the Purple Scorpion Dynasty Emperor even used a powerful sixth level spirit monarch realm spirit herb which was a rarity even in a high tier dynasty.

It was because he was facing a crisis and needed all the people he had. The Purple Scorpion Dynasty Emperor had to heal the Chief Advisor quickly by using the spirit herb, so they would have enough combat strength to survive in the imminent cruel battle with the wave of millions of demon beasts.

After healing the Chief Advisor, the Purple Scorpion Dynasty Emperor personally led all his self-cultivators, which were about 1,000 people, to the Spider Dynasty’s royal palace in the east of Five Poison City, intending to besiege it.

As a man in his forties, the Purple Scorpion Dynasty Emperor had a chiseled purple face and purple hair and eyebrows. Dressed in a scorpion robe, he emitted overwhelming killing intent.

They killed all the Spider Dynasty self-cultivators who dared to block them by either cutting off their heads or smashing them into meat pies.

If the emperor of the Spider Dynasty had known about their attacks, he would have protected his subordinates. But he was cultivating in the underground palace with Qingfeng Li and was oblivious to the slaughter above.

Most of the Spider Dynasty Emperor’s subordinates were killed while the rest knelt down shaking, frozen by the powerful spirit monarch realm presence emitted from Purple Scorpion Dynasty Emperor.

With a cold smile, Purple Scorpion Dynasty Emperor said, “Guards, bind all the self-cultivators from the Spider Dynasty and then search for their emperor. I will find him even if we have to turn this place upside down.”

At the order of the Purple Scorpion Dynasty Emperor, all the surviving Spider Dynasty self-cultivators were bound up and some of the defiant ones were smashed into meat pies by the emperor.

The Purple Scorpion Dynasty Emperor had broken through from the sixth level into the seventh level of spirit monarch realm, and the ordinary self-cultivators were absolutely no match for him.

He asked his subordinates to search the whole Spider Dynasty royal palace and they found nothing after half an hour.

The Chief Advisor walked to his monarch and reported, “Your Highness, I have searched the whole palace and can’t find the Spider Dynasty Emperor, Spider Princess or Qingfeng Li.”

The monarch frowned slightly, and a chilling light flashed in his eyes. He said, “Our scouts saw clearly Qingfeng Li and Spider Princess enter the royal Palace. How could they disappear? Is it possible that there exists a secret tunnel in the palace for them to hide?”

He sent for a Spider Dynasty self-cultivator they captured and demanded information about the royal palace, but the captive refused to tell the secret even at the threat of death.

Purple Scorpion Dynasty Emperor emitted his spirit energy and entered the captive’s mind to search his soul.

After a moment’s search, joy appeared in the monarch’s eyes. He said, “I finally found out where Spider Dynasty Emperor and Qingfeng Li have gone. There exists in the underground of the Spider Dynasty royal palace a treasure vault.”

Then with his spirit energy, he torn the Spider Dynasty captive’s spirit energy into two halves.

With a scream, the captive fell to the ground and died.

Seeing the ruthlessness of the Purple Scorpion Dynasty Emperor, the surviving Spider Dynasty self-cultivators turned pale with fear in their eyes.

A moment later, Purple Scorpion Dynasty Emperor had all the Spider Dynasty self-cultivators bound with ropes while killing the defiant ones.

All the Spider Dynasty self-cultivators felt doomed while other self-cultivators in Five Poison City dared not to protest even though they had witnessed his atrocities.

It was because Purple Scorpion Emperor was a powerful seventh level spirit monarch realm master and none of them was his match.

At the monarch’s order, the Chief Advisor of Purple Scorpion Dynasty had turned the whole royal palace upside down and still couldn’t find Spider Dynasty Emperor or Qingfeng Li.

The Chief Advisor was very displeased since the main purpose of their attacks on the Spider Dynasty was to make trouble for Qingfeng Li who was the origin of all these upheavals and disasters.

Standing in the hall of the Spider Dynasty royal palace, Purple Scorpion Dynasty Emperor was thinking hard about the location of the secret tunnel by putting himself in the position of the Spider Dynasty.

Suddenly, his face turned grim when he saw a dent on the arm of the spider chair standing before him.

“Is it possible that the chair is connected to a secret tunnel or an underground palace?”

Joy appeared in his eyes while he strode to the side of the chair.

Reaching out his right hand, he felt around on the Spider Chair and shortly found a protruding point.

He pressed down slightly, and the chair moved to one side and revealed a pitch-black tunnel opening through which Qingfeng Li had entered.

The Chief Advisor walked over and flattered, “Congratulations to Your Highness. Your Highness is very smart to find this underground tunnel at one glance. I’m sure Qingfeng Li is hiding down there. Shall we go down and kill them all?”

The monarch waved his hand and said, “No. We just wait here with a trap. We will get them all the moment they come out.”

Busy cultivating in the underground palace with people of Spider Dynasty, Qingfeng Li was oblivious to the situation above them.

After he broke through into the fifth level spirit monarch realm, his whole body gradually emitted a powerful presence.

He stood up and a huge force exploded all over him. He wondered, “So this is the force of a fifth level spirit monarch realm master. It’s indeed great.”

His whole body uttered ear-piercing crackling sounds as if his bones were rubbing with each other.

Chapter 1875: The Evolution of Clairvoyance

Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated

 

Qingfeng Li blew out a breath and spat out a golden light beam, shooting a big hole into the ground.

From his eyes shot two beams of golden light which instantly pierced two holes in the column ahead of him.

Qingfeng Li’s clairvoyance ability had further improved with a vision range of 5,000 meters. It was a huge progress.

More importantly, his clairvoyance ability could shoot out golden light beams which contained terrifying force just like his gold qi. The golden light beams could easily kill same-leveled opponents. It was a terrifying power.

If his opponent was a fifth level spirit monarch realm master, Qingfeng Li could kill him by shooting golden light beams from his eyes instead of launching any attacks.

Of course, there were some restrictions on this powerful attacking method: he could only use it once even with his current great spirit energy. Since this method would greatly consume his spirit energy, it could only be used as a sneak attack instead of using it in a battlefield, otherwise he would be in mortal danger after his spirit energy was exhausted or when he was faced with a group of enemies.

Qingfeng Li put great importance on his clairvoyance ability and regarded it as one of his best cards.

Beside him, the Spider Dynasty Monarch, Spider Princess, Mengyao Xu, Ya Yun and Sky Wolf Monarch were all alerted by the upheaval caused by Qingfeng Li. They stood up and came to his side.

Mengyao Xu said, “Brother Li, congratulations to you for breaking through into the fifth level of spirit monarch realm.”

The others all came over to congratulate him, knowing Qingfeng Li’s growth in power would benefit them to have a better chance of survival in the coming wave of millions of demon beasts.

The black puppy and Sky Swallowing Snake also paused their cultivation and got up. Their bellies had been round with the large quantities of spirit herbs and elixirs they had devoured.

After the cultivation they had refined all those spirit herbs and elixirs and turned them into their own demon energy. They had broken through into the fourth level of spirit monarch realm, only one level lower than Qingfeng Li.

Suddenly, Black Puppy sniffed, and a chilling light entered its eyes.

Qingfeng Li asked, “Little Black, what are you sniffing at?”

With a flash of chilling light in its eyes, Black Puppy said, “I just smelled the presence of the Chief Advisor from Purple Scorpion Dynasty. I’m quite familiar with his scent since he and his people surrounded the Moon Pub to arrest you.”

Qingfeng Li frowned and a chilling light flashed in his eyes since he was still angry with the Chief Advisor who had been rescued after being slapped down to the ground by Moon Saintess.

Qingfeng Li asked, “Little Black, where is the Chief Advisor’s presence and how far away is it from us?”

The black puppy pointed its paw at the ceiling, saying, “If I’m not mistaken, he is on the ground 2,000 meters above out heads.”

Hearing Black Puppy’s words, Spider Dynasty Monarch was startled, saying, “Are you sure? You mean the Chief Advisor of Purple Scorpion Dynasty is standing right above our heads? Then he is in my royal palace and my men are all in there.”

Faced with the monarch’s doubt, Black Puppy was not pleased. Rolling its eyes, it wagged it tail and turned its head away proudly, ignoring him. The monarch was anxious.

He turned to look at Qingfeng Li pleadingly, knowing Qingfeng Li as the puppy’s master would know if it had told the truth.

Qingfeng Li said, “Spider Dynasty Monarch, you must believe what Little Black said. Once its nose has smelled some scent, it can detect its position anywhere within the range of 150,000 kilometers the second time it smells it.”

Spider Dynasty Monarch gasped. He said, “If it’s true, then the monarch and the Chief Advisor of Purple Scorpion Dynasty must have attacked and occupied my royal palace. What should I do?”

Anxious, he decided, “No. We must go up now.”

Hurriedly, he led the Spider Princess to the stairs, intending to go up quickly.

With a frown, Qingfeng Li yelled, “Wait! You can’t go up now.”

The monarch turned to look at Qingfeng Li questioningly, no understanding why the latter tried to stop him from going up.

After all, it wasn’t like him to hide in the underground while Purple Scorpion Dynasty Monarch and his people had attacked and occupied his royal palace.

As heads of two high tier dynasties, the monarchs of Spider Dynasty and Purple Scorpion Dynasty had been foes and this time neither of them would back off.

With a slight smile, Qingfeng Li explained, “I’m not stopping you from killing Purple Scorpion Dynasty Monarch. But I think they must have laid big traps or even built some array formations for us since they have already occupied the royal palace and found this entrance. If you rush up like this, you will certainly walk into their traps.”

Spider Dynasty Monarch and Spider Princess thought Qingfeng Li was in the right.

But the monarch still shook his head and said, “I know it is very dangerous up there. But all my subordinates and my son are up there, and I will rush to their rescue even though I know they have set traps for me.”

Qingfeng Li smiled and said, “Wait a minute while I observe their array formations. Then I will lead you out.”

After breaking through into the fifth level of spirit monarch realm, Qingfeng Li’s clairvoyance ability could see things within the range of 5,000 meters.

Activating his right eye, he shot out a golden light beam which pierced the stairs, rocks and soil and saw the monarch, the Chief advisor and the self-cultivators from Purple Scorpion Dynasty on the ground.

Meanwhile, he had also seen the captured Spider Dynasty self-cultivators, the bloody ground and many bodies on it.

Of course, the bodies were the Spider Dynasty self-cultivators who had been ruthlessly killed by Purple Scorpion Dynasty Monarch. It was a pathetic sight.

Intense killing intent appeared in Qingfeng Li’s eyes since he knew some of the dead Spider Dynasty self-cultivators.

They had shown him to the royal place but now they were killed all because of him.

Emitting overwhelming killing intent, Qingfeng Li said in a cold voice, “Purple Scorpion Monarch and Chief Advisor, you won’t get away with it today.”

Seeing what had happened up in the royal palace with his clairvoyance ability, Qingfeng Li was so furious that intense killing intent burst out from him.

He said, “Don’t dawdle. Let’s go up now.”

The Purple Scorpion Dynasty Monarch had occupied the Spider Dynasty royal palace and killed many of the dynasty’s self-cultivators.

Hearing Qingfeng Li’s words, the Spider Dynasty Emperor’s face turned livid since those self-cultivators were his long-time elites and he had deep feelings for them.

Hearing Qingfeng Li’s report, he was afraid that the casualties were heavy. Enraged, he followed Qingfeng Li without hesitation up along the stairs with the others following him.

Among the group, Qingfeng Li and the Spider Dynasty Emperor were the most powerful and they led the way.

Although they both knew they were walking into a trap laid by the Purple Scorpion Monarch, they were fearless since they had no other option.

Qingfeng Li stopped when they were 100 meters from the exit, saying, “I’m faster than you and I will go out first and break their arrays. You follow me closely.”

The Spider Dynasty Emperor nodded, knowing Qingfeng Li was familiar with arrays and thus he was the perfect person to break the Envelopment Array outside.

“Wind elemental feathered wings!” Qingfeng Li yelled and activated the wind elemental feathered wings, forming two blue light beams on his sides.

Turning into a blue tornado, he leaped up in the air and rushed out instantly.

The moment he was out, he felt a great pressure formed by the countless white light beams from all directions.

Each of the light beams was as thick as a rope and there were hundreds of them crossing over one another from all directions, forming a fishing net.

It was an Envelopment Array, a sixth level spirit monarch realm array, and it trapped Qingfeng Li inside.

Standing behind the array, Purple Scorpion Dynasty Monarch and Chief Advisor had a clear view of the situation. Ecstasy appeared in their eyes.

The Chief Advisor said, “Your Highness, that guy is Qingfeng Li who kill our self-cultivators. I sense from him the presence of spiritual treasures which he must have acquired in the underground Palace. We will get them after killing him.”

Unable to conceal the blood-lust in his eyes, Purple Scorpion Monarch laughed and said, “Qingfeng Li, you actually walked into my trap which is an Envelopment Array. Today you will definitely die.”

Casting a murderous glance at Purple Scorpion Dynasty Monarch and Chief Advisor in the distance, Qingfeng Li said with a cold voice, “The game is not over yet. It’s ridiculous that you should think you can trap me with the Envelopment Array.”

Activating the x-ray ability in his right eye, Qingfeng Li released a golden light beam to observe carefully the Envelopment Array from its first array point to the 999th array point.

The array points were white light beams as dense as in a fishing net. They were not noticeable to an ordinary self-cultivato, but they posed no difficulty to Qingfeng Li who was an array master with a clairvoyance ability.

It took him only a moment to detect the weaknesses of the array. They lied in the first, seventh, fourteenth, 49th, 107th… array points.

There were dozens of weaknesses in the array. Although they were unnoticeable, Qingfeng Li could clearly see them with his clairvoyance ability.

With a cold smile, Qingfeng Li extended his right forefinger which contained the dragon bone strength and was hard with an invincible dragon scale. He pointed it toward the dozens of weaknesses with force.

Crack! Crack! Crack…

With dozens of loud sounds, dozens of big holes appeared suddenly in the Envelopment Array. The big holes were black and especially ugly among the white light beams.

With the weaknesses broken, the whole Envelopment Array became dilapidated while the spirit energy began to leak out. It could no longer trap Qingfeng Li.

Qingfeng Li punched his right fist which shot out a surge of golden force, crashing viciously onto the array which shattered into light sparks and disappeared in the air.

Purple Scorpion Dynasty Monarch’s expression changed sharply at the sight and his eyes were full of astonishment. He asked, “How could you break this sixth level array?”

Qingfeng Li laughed, saying, “It was a piece of cake. Your array is too weak to trap me. You overestimated yourself.”

While he laughed into the sky, he walked forward with one hand behind his back. With each of his steps, intense killing intent emitted from him.

Behind Qingfeng Li rose a sheet of black mist and he looked like the Killing God who had descended to the human world.

Meanwhile, the Spider Dynasty Emperor, the Spider Princess, Mengyao Xu, Ya Yun, Black Puppy, Sky-Devouring Snake, and the Sky Wolf Monarch ran out of the tunnel after hearing Qingfeng Li break the Envelopment Array.

Seeing them come out of the tunnel each carrying spiritual treasures, spirit herbs and elixirs, Purple Scorpion Dynasty Monarch had exhilaration in his eyes.

He shouted, “Spider Dynasty Emperor, I knew you had a treasure vault underneath your royal palace. I’ve just been waiting to take them from you after you get them. Today you must die.”

Spider Dynasty Emperor looked around and found the royal palace had become a river of blood and half of his self-cultivators had been killed by Purple Scorpion Dynasty Monarch.

The remaining of his subordinates were severely wounded and bound with ropes.

At the sight, Spider Dynasty Emperor’s face turned dark and his eyes were full of fury since those were the dynasty’s elites who had risked lives for him.

What’s more, he had seen his son’s body among the pile of dead self-cultivators. The head of Spider Dynasty’s royal prince had been smashed into a mass, undoubtedly by Purple Scorpion Monarch.

Emitting intense killing intent all over him, Spider Dynasty Emperor said coldly, “Damn you, Purple Scorpion Dynasty Monarch! Today I shall kill you.”
