Chapter 86: Little Bride (Xiao Jia)???
After about a few dozen breaths, Qi Yuan stopped and held his breath.
"This is Lu Fei's room, right?"
"White Moonlight, here I come!"
Qi Yuan stood outside the room, hidden in the darkness.
He listened intently.
Unfortunately, all he could hear were some water sounds.
Qi Yuan listened for a long time but got nothing.
However, he did not give up; he was very patient.
After all, it was a profound-level technique. If he could find a few more, his "Qi Yuan Sutra" could be further perfected.
The more techniques he mastered, the more it would benefit him.
For example, with his eyes, he could see different information based on the level of the technique and identify various flaws.
For instance, without a profound-level technique, he could see seven flaws in a jade-level technique and improve upon them.
After acquiring a profound-level technique, he could see ten flaws in that same jade-level technique.
Qi Yuan even felt that if a heavenly-level technique were placed in front of him now, he wouldn't be able to see its flaws.
The more techniques he knew, the more information he could see.
As night deepened, Qi Yuan kept his ears pricked, straining to listen.
He stood in the darkness, unnoticed by the people passing by.
After an indeterminate amount of time, Qi Yuan's eyes brightened.
"Has it started?"
He finally heard Lu Fei's thoughts during her cultivation.
"Muddle without limit, qi moves to the dantian, emperor moves and..."
Qi Yuan widened his eyes, listening intently, afraid to miss anything.
After a while, Qi Yuan's eyes showed satisfaction.
"Yin Maiden's Great Cultivation Technique? Quite vicious!"
Qi Yuan obtained the profound-level technique "Yin Maiden's Great Cultivation Technique." This technique lived up to the Demonic Desire Sect's reputation.
To master this technique, one needed to co-cultivate with seven deeply affectionate men and kill them at their most passionate moment.
"Even the infamous villain Bai Lang didn't suffer like this. Lu Fei is ruthless."
"Not only do you have to fawn over her, but you also risk your life doing it! Such a vicious person isn't worthy of being my White Moonlight. Breaking Wolf is better—handsome, rich, and with many techniques!"
After stealing the technique, Qi Yuan's feelings for Lu Fei vanished instantly, leaving him feeling somewhat ungrateful.
Just as he was about to leave, a figure cloaked in black appeared in his sight.
"A thief?"
"An adulterer?"
The black-cloaked figure entered Lu Fei's room.
Qi Yuan crouched outside, his mind racing.
For some reason, the black-cloaked figure made Qi Yuan feel a chill down his spine.
"Could it be a Nascent Soul stage monster?"
Qi Yuan thought it best to leave quickly.
Given his current strength, he wasn't sure if he could defeat a Nascent Soul monster.
If discovered by such a monster, it would be dangerous. Better to flee quickly.
He listened for a while outside the room but found there seemed to be a sound-blocking spell. He decided to sneak away quietly.
......
Two days passed quickly.
In these two days, many events occurred.
The first was that this Celestial Dragon Immortal Realm differed from the first one.
The first Celestial Dragon Immortal Realm only allowed cultivators under thirty to enter.
This Celestial Dragon Immortal Realm, however, was discovered to allow cultivators under a hundred to enter.
This caused a stir.
Many princes without the support of the three major sects united to change the previous rules, allowing Golden Core cultivators to participate.
This caused quite a commotion in the palace.
Later, a Golden Core cultivator from the Divine Light Sect killed another Golden Core cultivator, finally calming the storm.
The proposal was ultimately vetoed by the three major sects.
The struggle for the dragon would proceed under the original rules.
Many princes were dissatisfied, but they were powerless against the three major sects.
Qi Yuan opened his jade slip from the Divine Flower Association.
He looked disappointed.
He couldn't communicate with anyone in the association.
Kang Fulou's expression turned serious. He looked at Dong Xian and said, "There's something I need to tell you."
Dong Xian quickly responded, "Please, speak, Senior Brother."
"Your father, the Emperor, passed away last night. The three major sects have kept this secret to avoid any disturbances in the struggle for the dragon."
Dong Xian was stunned.
His father was dead?
Although he had no feelings for his father and had seen him less often than withered wood True Lord, that was still his father in name.
Hearing this suddenly, he felt a bit lost.
"Thank you for telling me, Senior Brother. This won't affect me!" Dong Xian quickly regained his composure.
Qi Yuan was momentarily distracted.
He had seen the old Emperor and noted that he had about a month to live.
Now, in less than two days, he was dead.
There must have been some change.
Could it be that the sect master and Empress sought excitement, and the old Emperor discovered it, leading to the sect master killing the Emperor?
Qi Yuan speculated maliciously.
Then he dismissed the thought, having no evidence to support such a notion.
No one mentioned it again. Kang Fulou, with white hair, took a deep breath, feeling the dense spiritual energy. "The spiritual energy here is stronger than Five Light Peak. No wonder the Great Shang rose so quickly a thousand years ago after obtaining the Celestial Dragon Immortal Realm."
Qi Yuan agreed.
Cultivating in the Celestial Dragon Immortal Realm felt faster than on Seven Colors Peak. He could reach mid-Foundation Establishment in two to three years.
But for Qi Yuan, that was still too slow.
He preferred fighting in the game.
"Where the spiritual energy is strong, the chance of finding rare treasures is higher. We need to go deeper into the secret realm!" Kang Fulou said.
Both Qi Yuan and Dong Xian agreed.
The deeper they went, the more likely they were to find valuable treasures. Qi Yuan also felt he had a greater chance of encountering his White Moonlight.
Meanwhile, in the deepest part of the Celestial Dragon Immortal Realm, spiritual energy surged like mist.
In a pool, the spiritual energy seemed to become tangible, flowing continuously.
In the center of the pool was a crystal coffin.
This crystal coffin had an ancient, awe-inspiring aura.
Inside the crystal coffin lay... a petite wedding dress.
Any cultivator who came here would feel that this wedding dress was not an ordinary garment but a sentient being.
......
"There are so many good things here." Qi Yuan wandered through the Celestial Dragon Immortal Realm.
He stopped and picked a mushroom.
This mushroom, called a spirit spray mushroom, could absorb thin spiritual energy and release rich spiritual energy, worth several spirit stones.
Qi Yuan transformed into a mushroom-picking girl, quickly gathering a dozen of them.
Dong Xian felt envious, his eyes flashing with greed.
If the Celestial Dragon Immortal Realm belonged to him, he could quickly reach the Nascent Soul stage and even have hope of entering the Purple Mansion stage.
But he quickly dismissed the thought.
This second Celestial Dragon Immortal Realm couldn't be controlled by the royal family alone but by the three major sects.
"Let's go deeper; there must be better things," Kang Fulou said.
The group continued to fly deeper into the secret realm.
Suddenly, Dong Xian stopped. "A corpse?"
In the distance, there was a corpse.
The three stopped.
They found three corpses. "Fifth Brother?"
Dong Xian recognized his fifth brother in a python robe.
"Regret Dragon Hand?" Dong Xian lifted his fifth brother's robe and saw a golden palm print on his stomach, looking despondent.
The Regret Dragon Hand was a secret of the Great Shang royal family that every prince had to learn.
Seeing the mark of the Regret Dragon Hand on his fifth brother, it was clear he was killed by his siblings.
Having just entered the Celestial Dragon Immortal Realm and encountering such a thing, Dong Xian's mood was evident.
Kang Fulou squinted at the other two corpses. He recognized them.
