Subsequently, the two individuals conversed once again, and their words were clearly audible to Xu Ziqing and Yun Lie, revealing a wealth of confidential information.
Evidently, the Fox King and Panshan King had a history dating back thousands of years due to an old incident. During that time, Panshan King, then a third-rank monster snake, sought refuge at Lingtu Mountain while being pursued by natural enemies. The Fox King, not yet in its current position, held a prominent status in the clan due to its natural blood heritage.
The inexperienced Jiuxuan Meihu rescued the monster snake from assailants, fostering a companionship that lasted for hundreds of years. Eventually, Jiuxuan Meihu left for mountainous cultivation, and the demon snake went its separate way. Visjt novelbin(.)com for new updates
Years later, Jiuxuan Meihu gained fame and became the Fox King at Lingtu Mountain, while the monster snake, after numerous perilous encounters, found refuge with the current king, evolving into a seventh-order monster on the plains.
King Panshan, successful in his cultivation, visited the Fox King just as news of the secret treasure in Tianlan surfaced.
This revelation left Xu Ziqing astonished. Glancing at Yun Lie, he noticed a slight ripple in his usually stoic eyes.
This wasn’t due to their lack of foresight; rather, the news was truly momentous.
As is known, anything labeled a “Secret Treasure” was a relic from ancient times, comprising hidden places, mausoleums, or other concealed locations. These often held a plethora of magical artifacts, ancient relics, exercises, rare elixirs, and even mineral deposits—rare treasures that emerged once in a millennium. Even in the ordinary great world, encountering the birth of secret treasures was exceedingly uncommon.
The Qingyun Great World was just one of the three thousand great worlds in the universe, and over the years, fewer than five individuals had witnessed the birth of secret treasures.
Those fortunate enough to escape the secret traps with their findings reap numerous benefits. Many became outstanding figures in the world, breaking through previously unimaginable levels due to these rare adventures. Some even obtained strange treasures that helped them overcome celestial tribulations during the Immortal Ascension stage.
Yet, what heightened the excitement wasn’t just the material gains. More enticing were the ancient cultivators’ legacies contained within.
Inquiring about their awareness of the conversation between him and King Panshan, Jiuxuan Meihu received a confirmation from Xu Ziqing and Yun Lie: “Of course... We heard clearly.”

In the heart of the Monster Beast Kingdom within the Wild Beast Plain lies the expansive Qingtian Cave, nestled deep in the mountains. This cavernous space features numerous stone chambers and guard posts, all leading to a grand hall.
Dominating the hall is a towering stone platform adorned with countless treasures embedded in the cave walls, casting a brilliant illumination across the entire space.
Upon the stone platform reclines a colossal and menacing beast. Its robust physique, coated in dark fur, exudes unmatched strength, and its sinuous tail sways gracefully, producing a whistling sound as it moves. Though it appears to be in a half-closed-eye, almost nap-like state, the creature’s potent aura is enough to make the entire cave tremble even with the slightest movement.
Suddenly, the creature’s eyes snap open, revealing a flash of green light within its pupils.
“Who?” it growls with a low, thunderous voice that sends shivers down one’s spine.
In response, more than ten figures materialize in front of the stone platform with a swift “swipe” sound.
These individuals emit formidable auras, with the weakest possessing the early-stage Nascent Soul cultivation level and the tallest standing at the peak of the late Nascent Soul stage, just a hair’s breadth away from the Divine Soul Formation stage. Undoubtedly, they form a group of cultivators, their breath carrying both the essence of immortality and the mystique of magic.
Leading the group is a young cultivator adorned in silver robes with a golden belt, his neatly tied black hair crowned on top. Despite occupying the forefront, this cultivator surprisingly holds the weakest cultivation level, just in the late Golden Core stage. Nevertheless, his demeanor exudes an extraordinary presence.
As the power of the giant beast surges, creating a formidable current, the young cultivator remains composed. He raises his hand, producing a golden bowl and swiftly turning it over to absorb the rushing airflow.
Following this, the young cultivator smiles calmly and respectfully states, “The junior has seen King Zun.”
Once again, the giant beast narrows its eyes and questions, “Which son of Emperor Yan are you?”
