In the ancient era, Dao Realm experts were the top powers in the Immortal Martial World. Since Xue'er's reunion with Heaven and Earth, too much spiritual energy, inheritance, and secret realms had been lost. As a result, entering the Dao Realm in the current era is several times more difficult than it was back then.
In other words, with his current cultivation, this elder could sweep through the eastern part of the Azure Lotus Heavenly Domain. What surprised Qin Yu even more was that such a powerful expert had come to this small place. Could there really be a Dao Mansion here?
Encountering such a powerful expert, Qin Yu suppressed his inner thoughts, deliberately showing a look of fear and shock on his face.
The elder seemed to sense the change in Qin Yu's gaze. He glanced at Qin Yu, and this glance made Qin Yu feel as if he had fallen into an abyss, completely exposed before the elder, with no secrets whatsoever.
Just as the elder was appraising Qin Yu, Xiong Tatian's booming voice rang out, which made the elder withdraw his gaze.
Qin Yu, who breathed a sigh of relief, glared fiercely at Xiong Tatian. He almost wanted to cover Xiong Tatian's big mouth. This was a Dao Realm expert!
A being powerful enough to crush all three of them with one hand if angered!
The black-robed elder frowned slightly, glancing at Xiong Tatian, whose face was full of flesh and who glared angrily. Just as killing intent flashed in his eyes, he suddenly noticed the bone pendant on Xiong Tatian's neck, and his pupils contracted sharply.
After an unintentional change in his expression, he said kindly, "Three young friends, I was impatient and unintentionally startled you. Please forgive me." As he spoke, the elder looked at Li Tianji again and said, "Young friend, can you tell me the exact location of that treasure?"
Li Tianji was naturally intelligent. His ability to appear silently showed that this elder's cultivation was profound. Moreover, being stared at by this elder, Li Tianji felt like he was facing his master, knowing that this person's cultivation was unfathomable. He was terrified.
After a long period of contemplation, he said cautiously, "Senior, I'm not entirely sure, but based on my deductions, the location of the Dao Mansion should be in that direction, about a hundred miles away." Li Tianji pointed to the front left. Facing such a powerful expert, he dared not speak carelessly.
The elder appraised Li Tianji for a moment, seemingly trying to gauge his credibility. In fact, he had noticed the three of them when Xiong Tatian asked Li Tianji to deduce the location of the Ancestor Ape Blood. Therefore, he had watched Li Tianji's deduction process. When Li Tianji opened his eyes and looked in the front left with a shocked expression, he had seen it all. So, now that Li Tianji said it was the front left, he believed Li Tianji was telling the truth.
"Thank you, young friend. If your deduction is correct, I will reward you handsomely when we meet again." After speaking, the black-robed elder glanced at Xiong Tatian and vanished strangely.
Qin Yu and Li Tianji both breathed a sigh of relief, only to hear Xiong Tatian say gruffly, "What kind of person is that? Comes and goes as he pleases." Both of them were startled and almost wanted to cover Xiong Tatian's mouth, but Xiong Tatian had already stood up and said with a sly grin, "Heh heh, a Dao Mansion is actually appearing. Let's go, we're leaving too."
But his direction was to the front right.
"Xiong Tatian, where are you going? Isn't it to the front left?" Qin Yu shouted urgently, feeling helpless. This unawakened Xiong Tatian had no fear at all. Sometimes Qin Yu envied Xiong Tatian, who was truly fearless. He wondered what he would think when he grew up and his mind fully developed, looking back on this journey.
"Brother Qin, do you really believe Li Tianji? The direction of the Dao Mansion must be the opposite of what he deduced. What are you waiting for? It's been like this several times. Trust me, it's right. Let's go." Xiong Tatian turned and said. Without waiting for Qin Yu and Li Tianji, he strode away.
Li Tianji's stern face had long turned ashen, and his body trembled uncontrollably.
At that moment, Li Tianji probably wished he could kill Xiong Tatian.
Qin Yu, standing beside him, looked at Li Tianji with a stunned expression, then glanced at the departing Xiong Tatian. Should he follow Xiong Tatian? Fearing that Li Tianji would break down, Qin Yu stayed behind, thinking about what to say. Then he heard Li Tianji say in a trembling voice, "Let's go, we'll follow him. This time, I will make him pay for his reckless ignorance. Let him know that I, Li Tianji, don't always make wrong deductions!"
Qin Yu smiled at the angry Li Tianji, amused.
Li Tianji was naturally reserved. Due to his youth, he couldn't yet maintain composure in the face of a crisis. Perhaps, years later, Li Tianji would reach that level, but now... he was completely dominated by Xiong Tatian.
This time, Qin Yu couldn't definitively say whether Li Tianji's deduction was correct. However, Qin Yu hoped Li Tianji was right!
First, the fact that even a Dao Realm expert had personally come here showed that this Dao Mansion was extraordinary. Once it appeared, there would undoubtedly be a great battle, and the three of them, with their cultivation, wouldn't even be able to withstand the aftermath.
Second, if Li Tianji's deduction was wrong, the Dao Realm expert would definitely turn back, and then...
Third, a Dao Mansion that could attract the search of a Dao Realm expert... what treasures would appear?
Qin Yu licked his lips, his eyes flashing with sharp light.
If... he could obtain some fortuitous encounters, that would be the best. However, the prerequisite was that there must actually be a Dao Mansion!
"Huh?" Qin Yu, who was walking slowly, suddenly paused. He sensed a divine sense sweeping over him. After a long period of contemplation, Qin Yu secretly thought, "Could it be that Dao Realm expert?" Thinking of this, Qin Yu felt relieved.
Xiong Tatian swaggered ahead, clearing the path. Sensing that Qin Yu and Li Tianji were following behind, Xiong Tatian laughed heartily and quickened his pace, moving with great vigor towards the depths of the Land of Beast Burial.
Three days later.
Myriad Phenomena Pill Shop.
"Miss, things have changed." Zi Xun'er, who was flipping through an ancient pill recipe, suddenly heard Elder Ge's voice. She put down the recipe and looked up, asking, "What?"
"Old Demon Gold Digger has been discovered in the Land of Beast Burial!" Elder Ge said in a deep voice.
Zi Xun'er looked confused, then seemed to recall something. Her eyebrows shot up, and she exclaimed, "Old Demon Gold Digger? Are you talking about Li Jujin from the Demonfall Heavenly Domain? The Old Demon Gold Digger who specializes in digging up other people's ancestral graves and searching for their Dao Mansions?"
"Precisely him," Elder Ge replied in a low voice.
Zi Xun'er stood up abruptly, her expression exceptionally solemn, her gaze deep, and she said with disbelief, "How did that old bastard who will have no descendants know that a Dao Mansion is about to appear in the Land of Beast Burial?"
"Are there any other powerful beings in the entire Land of Beast Burial?"
"There shouldn't be any more. That Old Demon Gold Digger has left his mark in every corner of the Trapped Dragon Star. Coupled with his talent and rare treasures in this area, it's not surprising that he found it. However, that Old Demon Gold Digger has been a demon for a long time, and he is a Dao Realm expert. This time, the variables are too great," Elder Ge said in a deep voice.
"The Guiyuan Sect will definitely have an ancestor personally appear. At that time, we only need to obtain the Lightning Fire. As for the rest, let them fight amongst themselves. By the way, what is that Old Demon Gold Digger doing?" Zi Xun'er said coldly.
"He seems to be secretly setting up some array, but he hasn't detected us. The people we sent are all of low cultivation. As long as they are careful, it will be difficult for Old Demon Gold Digger to detect them!" Elder Ge said.
"Then let them secretly set up the Sky Locking Array outside the three-hundred-mile radius of Old Demon Gold Digger! Make sure Old Demon Gold Digger doesn't notice!"
"That's good. With Old Demon Gold Digger's methods, he has probably accurately pinpointed the exact location of the Dao Mansion! This will save us some effort," Zi Xun'er said in a low voice.
"Yes, Miss!" Elder Ge looked at Zi Xun'er with satisfaction and disappeared.
Zi Xun'er sat down again, tapping the tabletop lightly with her right hand, her gaze fixed ahead, lost in thought.
At the same time, on the outskirts of the depths of the Land of Beast Burial.
"It's over, it's over! It's over, run!"
"Roar..."
Just as Qin Yu and Li Tianji were slowly following Xiong Tatian, a wolf howl accompanied by Xiong Tatian's roar sounded.
Qin Yu and Li Tianji stopped abruptly, only to see Xiong Tatian running towards them with an object in his arms, while the sounds of hurried movements could be faintly heard from the surrounding forest from all directions.
When Qin Yu saw a giant figure appear behind Xiong Tatian, his expression shifted slightly.
It was a giant wolf, eight feet tall, its body covered in steel-needle-like green fur. Its eerie green eyes glowed with ferocity, and its slightly parted mouth revealed four long, sharp fangs.
Upon seeing a small clump of bronze fur between the giant wolf's eyebrows, Qin Yu's heart skipped a beat.
A Fourth-Order Azure Wolf King!
How had Xiong Tatian provoked such a powerful creature? After all, a lone wolf wasn't terrifying, but wolves were pack animals, and this was a wolf king!
Qin Yu glanced at his surroundings out of the corner of his eye, his expression growing more solemn. He could already sense that a pack of wolves had surrounded them!
Qin Yu looked at Xiong Tatian with anger. When he saw what Xiong Tatian was holding, he felt blood rush to his head and his whole body tremble with rage.
Xiong Tatian was holding a wolf cub!
Despite his extreme anger, Qin Yu quickly calmed down and darted forward, snatching the wolf cub from Xiong Tatian's arms!
Facing a Fourth-Order Wolf King and surrounded by a pack of azure wolves, their only hope of escape was through this cub!
"Xiong Tatian, what did you do?" Qin Yu, clutching the wolf cub tightly, glared at Xiong Tatian. In this place teeming with fierce beasts, offending a wolf pack was practically a death wish.
Sensing Qin Yu's angry gaze, Xiong Tatian looked embarrassed and said in a low voice, "I... I don't know. I just saw a little dog crawling around, so I picked it up. I didn't expect to be chased by this big wolf." After speaking, Xiong Tatian's face flushed. He had mistaken the wolf cub for a dog. Having been in the Land of Beast Burial for so long, he had suddenly seen a dog and his appetite had increased. He had intended to use the dog for a meal, only to discover it was a wolf cub.
Sensing Xiong Tatian's expression, Qin Yu fully understood Li Tianji's feeling of being wronged. This fellow's intellect wasn't fully developed, and he always did things that were both laughable and exasperating. This time, he had directly dragged them into danger.
"Put it down, and you three can leave unharmed," the giant wolf slowly emerged from behind a large tree, its eerie green eyes, as large as copper bells, fixed on Qin Yu. It spoke in a hoarse voice, with an undeniable tone of command.
A Fourth-Order Wolf King was equivalent to a cultivator in the Spirit Infant realm, capable of speech.
Qin Yu surveyed the azure wolves slowly emerging from all around and took a deep breath. Just as he was about to say something...
A sudden change occurred.
He heard a cold voice from behind: "Wolf King, you can deal with the one holding your cub yourself, but I need to capture the other two perverts and bring them back to the Jade Pool Sect!"
