Chapter 147: A thousand miles to deliver treasures, new gains

Chapter 147: A thousand miles to deliver treasures, new gainsIn order to kill, he had only prepared things that would ensure mutual destruction, not anything to save his own life. As a result, he didn't have time to dodge and was hit head-on.

He carefully recalled the shape of that thing, and suddenly his eyes widened.

"Right, the surface of that tower seemed to have some scales..."

Xuan Yangzi thought of the Black Dragon Pagoda's surface, covered in black-gold dragon scales, which were very similar to the scales of the snake he had seen.

Could it be...

The more Xuan Yangzi thought about it, the faster his heart raced, his face twisted, and his emotions gradually spiraled out of control. S~eaʀᴄh the Novёlƒire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"Ah!! I hate it!"

Xuan Yangzi spat out a mouthful of blood towards the sky, his head tilted, and he fainted.

…………

Inside the Black Dragon Pagoda.

Xu Hei could feel that he was about to break free from the control of the Black Dragon Pagoda, and when that happened, it would be his time to counterattack.

As the Demon God Cauldron refined, the Black Dragon Pagoda was gradually losing its power to resist, the initial violent shaking becoming more and more subtle.

It seemed that this seemingly powerful magical treasure was still a notch below the Demon God Cauldron.

"Right, it seemed like I hit something just now."

Xu Hei's eyes flashed. He had been concentrating on activating the Demon God Cauldron and hadn't paid attention to anything else.

It was only because the fluctuation of spiritual qi just now was strong that he noticed it. It seemed that whatever he hit had a high level of cultivation.

"Never mind, I'll go back later and see if I can pick up any remains."

Without thinking much, Xu Hei continued to counterattack with all his strength.

Before long, the Black Dragon Pagoda arrived above the Myriad Serpent Valley and stopped.

"It stopped?"

Xu Hei was taken aback.

A sudden suction force erupted from the Demon God Cauldron, finally breaking free from the slight control. Xu Hei's body successfully detached from the Black Dragon Pagoda.

Xu Hei quickly retreated several meters, checked his body, and found no damage, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.

After Xu Hei detached, the appearance of the Black Dragon Pagoda rapidly changed. The scales on the surface disappeared, and the dragon shape gradually retracted, turning into an ordinary black pagoda about ten meters high, with only faint traces of a dragon's shape remaining.

Even the earth-shattering aura from before had mostly vanished.

The power was still there, but it was definitely not as fierce and unmatched as before, where even a slight aftershock could kill someone.

Xu Hei was secretly shocked.

Once he left the pagoda, the Black Dragon Pagoda changed its appearance, which meant he was also part of the magical treasure?

The magical treasure was actually himself?

"Damn it..."

Upon learning the truth, Xu Hei didn't know what to say.

In the process of refining this magical treasure, he had accidentally refined himself into it.

It must be said, demonic beasts indeed have unique creativity in the six arts of cultivation.

Xu Hei observed his surroundings for a moment and found that the Black Dragon Pagoda had stopped after reaching the Myriad Serpent Valley. Was there something here attracting it?

Xu Hei immediately thought of the Dragon Qi hidden below the Myriad Serpent Valley.

He had previously sensed a faint trace of Dragon Qi, but the Dragon Qi in the Myriad Serpent Valley was very stable, hidden very deep, and extremely difficult to detect.

Unlike the Mountain Movers Sect, where the fate had ended, and the Dragon Qi had detached, making it easily detectable.

"Can Dragon Qi attract each other?" Xu Hei wondered.

Seeing that the Black Dragon Pagoda had lost its resistance, Xu Hei slightly controlled it, and the Black Dragon Pagoda immediately descended to the ground.

But just this descent consumed thirty percent of Xu Hei's True Qi.

However, compared to the "Body Fusion" from before, it was much easier, at least not unbearable.

"Collect!"

With a thought, Xu Hei shrank the Black Dragon Pagoda and swallowed it into his abdomen for storage.

"This Black Dragon Pagoda is strong, but the consumption is too severe, and it easily refines me into it. I must be cautious next time I use it."

Xu Hei evaluated.

This type of magical treasure that requires personal control often consumes a lot.

In comparison, the Soul-absorbing Flag only required him to release and retrieve the spiritual body, without needing to manage anything else, as the snake spirits would automatically attack, making it much more convenient.

This was thanks to the snake demon spirits, which had developed a trace of intelligence and could be willingly controlled.

"Right, let's see what I hit just now."

Xu Hei retraced his steps, following the route in his memory, and arrived fifty miles away.

Indeed, there were some lingering spiritual qi fluctuations in the air here. Xu Hei carefully sensed it and found that the deceased's cultivation seemed to be at the Core Formation Stage. However, it didn't seem like a true Core Formation, which puzzled Xu Hei.

"Someone was hiding here, what were they trying to do? Monitor me? Or attempt to assassinate me?"

Xu Hei frowned, spreading his Divine Sense to search every inch of the area. Soon, he found a storage bag.

The storage bag was reinforced with a strong seal, but it had been somewhat broken by the collision.

In addition, there were some scattered fragments of magical treasures on the ground, likely shattered by the impact.

Xu Hei used the Gravity Technique to carefully pick up the fragments. From these remnants, he could sense some sinister energy, clearly intended for killing.

"Someone indeed wants to harm me."

Xu Hei's expression darkened as he released the spirit of the Jiao Python to tear apart the seal on the storage bag and probed inside with his Divine Sense.

In an instant, Xu Hei's expression changed.

Inside the storage bag were two items.

The first was a blue pearl, filled with violent lightning, possessing the power to destroy the heavens and earth, with arcs of electricity scattering around. It was clearly a Thunder Tribulation Pearl.

However, this Thunder Tribulation Pearl was entirely blue, likely a normal Thunder Tribulation Pearl, much weaker than his purple one.

The other item was a piece of gray talisman paper, seemingly ordinary and unknown in use.

But being stored together with the Thunder Tribulation Pearl, it was certainly also a lethal item.

Even the storage bag was reinforced with a seal, indicating that its owner was also afraid of accidentally breaking it and being affected.

"What a grand scheme, who wants to harm me? Who could it be?"

Xu Hei was furious.

A killer, carrying two deadly weapons, lurking just fifty miles away, would make anyone uneasy once they knew.

Even without considering what was shattered, just these two treasures were enough to cause significant trouble.

Xu Hei spread his Divine Sense, continuing to search for any clues.

Moments later, he discovered some wood fragments filled with spiritual power and traces of blood scattered around.

Xu Hei recalled in his mind anyone who might seek revenge on him and was associated with wood.

"A Wooden Puppet Clone, this person is Xuan Yangzi!"

Xu Hei's eyes widened.

When he was in human cities, he had inquired about Xuan Yangzi's whereabouts, and it was said that he had been missing for a year, whereabouts unknown.

Xu Hei had thought the man was dead and didn't pay attention, but unexpectedly, he wasn't dead at all and was planning revenge.

Such a menace cannot be left alive!

Otherwise, if the opponent occasionally sent a Wooden Puppet Clone to harass him, what would he do?

"Since the opponent lost a clone, they should be quiet for a while. I need to come up with a plan!"

Xu Hei thought of Han Te, who might have information on Xuan Yangzi. But Han Te was elusive and skilled in disguise, making him hard to find.

Even if he were found, dealing with a Core Formation Stage cultivator wouldn't be easy.

Xu Hei sighed, placing the Thunder Tribulation Pearl and the gray talisman into separate storage bags, sealing them, and then storing the bags in Void Stones.

He burned all traces at the site with a single breath of fire and then returned to the Myriad Serpent Valley.
