Journey to the Black Emperor Sect, Seeking Bodhi Body Transformation Saliva

Black Emperor City.

Tang Chen and Zi Yan tore through space all the way, arriving at Black Emperor City before long.

Black Emperor City was under the jurisdiction of the Black Emperor Sect. Among the various powers of the Black-Corner Region, the Black Emperor Sect ranked among the very best in both strength and influence.

Its sect master, Mo Tianxing, was a high-level Dou Zong expert and one of the foremost figures in the entire Black-Corner Region.

Tang Chen's purpose in coming was clear: to see whether he could obtain the Bodhi Body Transformation Saliva.

The Bodhi Body Transformation Saliva could be refined into a Bodhi Seed and was the key to obtaining the Bodhi Three Treasures in the future. Tang Chen was determined to claim it.

There was still some time before the Bodhi Body Transformation Saliva emerged. He had come to try his luck. Naturally, it would be best if he found it; if not, picking up some other valuable items along the way would not be a loss. In any case, this trip would not be wasted.

The two entered Black Emperor City.

It had to be said that Black Emperor City was far more prosperous than the Jia Ma Imperial Capital. Its scale was magnificent, its city walls black as iron, carrying a cold and forbidding air.

Zi Yan was even more lively. As soon as she entered the city, she looked around in every direction, her large eyes sparkling as she brimmed with curiosity about everything.

Tang Chen was happy to indulge her. Rather than hurrying to the Black Emperor Sect, he accompanied Zi Yan as they strolled through Black Emperor City.

"Tang Chen, I want to eat that!" As they passed a snack stall, Zi Yan caught the drifting aroma and nearly drooled. She tugged at Tang Chen, insisting that he buy it.

Seeing Zi Yan acting like such a little foodie, Tang Chen smiled and satisfied her every request.

Zi Yan showed no restraint either. She wanted a taste of every delicious thing she saw, stuffing her mouth while both little hands were nearly too full to hold anything else.

Only after wandering around Black Emperor City did the two finally make their way leisurely to the Black Emperor Sect.

There was no clichéd scene of posturing and face-slapping. Tang Chen merely released a faint wisp of Dou Zun-level aura, and Mo Tianxing came out at once.

Mo Tianxing had been cultivating when he suddenly sensed an exceedingly terrifying aura, several times stronger than his own. He did not dare delay in the slightest and hurried before Tang Chen.

The moment he saw Tang Chen, judging from his bearing and strength, Mo Tianxing understood that the man before him was not someone he could afford to provoke. As one of the great powers of the Black-Corner Region, he had at least that much discernment and sense.

Not daring to slight him, he immediately put on a smile and respectfully bowed to Tang Chen and Zi Yan. "I am Mo Tianxing. Welcome, honored guests, to the Black Emperor Sect."

As the saying went, one did not strike a smiling face. Seeing Mo Tianxing's attitude, Tang Chen slightly restrained his own aura.

"Honored guests, please come in." Mo Tianxing did not dare leave Tang Chen and Zi Yan standing outside and respectfully invited them into the Black Emperor Pavilion.

The Black Emperor Pavilion was specifically used by the Black Emperor Sect to receive distinguished guests. Its extravagant decoration was obvious from its appearance alone.

Along the way, the guards saw their sect master treating two young people with such reverence, and all of them grew intensely curious about their identities.

After leading the two into the Black Emperor Pavilion and hosting them attentively, Mo Tianxing finally asked carefully, "May I ask why you two have honored the Black Emperor Sect with your presence?"

"Does your sect possess any Bodhi Body Transformation Saliva?" Tang Chen took a sip of tea and asked casually.

"Bodhi Body Transformation Saliva?" Mo Tianxing revealed a thoughtful expression, but no trace of such an item existed in his memories.

He promptly showed an apologetic look. "My lord, I have never seen this Bodhi Body Transformation Saliva."

A flicker of white light passed through Tang Chen's eyes. As Mo Tianxing spoke, he had been using soul power to monitor the changes in his emotions and determine whether he was lying.

After examining him, Tang Chen found no abnormal emotional fluctuations in Mo Tianxing. The possibility that he was lying could largely be ruled out.

Looks like the time has not come yet. Tang Chen withdrew his soul power, feeling slightly disappointed.

After pondering for a moment, he suddenly pointed a finger. A cluster of flame shot from his fingertip and directly entered Mo Tianxing's body.

"My lord! What is this?!" Mo Tianxing was alarmed. He only felt something burrow into his body, yet no matter how he inspected himself internally, he could not find the slightest trace of it.

"Do not be nervous. I planted a fire seed within your body. As long as you obey, nothing will happen." Tang Chen spoke calmly, enunciating every word.

"May I ask what you wish me to do, my lord?" Mo Tianxing's expression turned ugly as he asked cautiously.

Though he was unwilling in every possible way, before absolute strength, he had no choice at all.

Tang Chen then gave his order. "For the next few years, I want you to keep watch for information regarding the Bodhi Body Transformation Saliva. The moment it appears, notify me immediately."

"Yes!" Mo Tianxing secretly let out a sigh of relief. The Black Emperor Sect had considerable influence in the Black-Corner Region. Merely keeping watch for information was an exceedingly simple matter for him.

Tang Chen took a Sect-Breaking Pill from his Storage Ring and casually tossed it to Mo Tianxing. "Handle this matter well, and there will be other rewards. It may not be impossible for you to advance further."

Tang Chen could not remain in the Black-Corner Region forever. To ensure that Mo Tianxing worked wholeheartedly, he did not mind offering him a little incentive.

Mo Tianxing looked at the Sect-Breaking Pill in his hand, then listened to Tang Chen's promise. The faint displeasure in his heart instantly vanished.

He might not have use for the Sect-Breaking Pill, but his son would need it in the future.

His son's talent was fairly decent among those of his age, but Mo Tianxing knew that his limit was at most the Dou Emperor realm. His chances of breaking through to Dou Zong were exceedingly slim.

Now that he had this Sect-Breaking Pill, he had great confidence in helping his son step into the Dou Zong realm.

Tang Chen's final promise made his heart burn even hotter. In his eyes, Tang Chen clearly possessed an extraordinary background. If he could latch onto such a powerful patron, then breaking through to Dou Zun in the future might not be impossible.

With matters having reached this point, Mo Tianxing immediately declared his loyalty. Kneeling on the ground with cupped fists, he solemnly promised, "Thank you, my lord. This subordinate will certainly handle it well!"

Tang Chen merely nodded faintly at Mo Tianxing's declaration.

At that moment, Zi Yan suddenly wrinkled her little nose and asked with some disgust, "Tang Chen, do you smell something stinky?"

"Zi Yan, did you notice something?" Seeing her expression, Tang Chen asked with interest.

"It seems to be... the smell of a corpse." Zi Yan covered her little nose, the disgust on her face deepening further.

"The smell of a corpse?" Hearing this, Tang Chen formed a rough guess.

"My lord, in my judgment, this scent should be coming from the dried corpse of a magical beast." Mo Tianxing was secretly shocked by Zi Yan's sense of smell, and his tone became even more respectful.

Tang Chen rose to his feet, a faint smile curling across his lips. "Take us to see it."

"Yes, my lords. This way, please." Mo Tianxing bowed and gestured for Tang Chen and Zi Yan to proceed.

Afterward, Mo Tianxing led Tang Chen and Zi Yan to the Black Emperor Sect's treasure vault.

In one corner of the vault lay a large white cloth. It bulged high, making it clear that the object beneath it was not small.

Mo Tianxing stepped forward, seized the white cloth, and yanked it away. A gigantic corpse, fully ten zhang wide, was suddenly revealed before Tang Chen.
