Ancient Demon Palace

A golden sword light swept through the air like a tidal wave, obliterating two black-clad men at the fourth level of Foundation Establishment. The two men were powerless to resist and were torn into eight pieces by Chen Changming. Pieces of flesh and blood fell from the sky, forming a rain of blood.

Chen Changming moved swiftly, collecting all the flesh and blood into his Beast Taming Bracelet. Then he flew to the rock wall, took down the Geng-Gold Sword, and collected the two corpses as well.

These four men in black had a maximum cultivation level of only the fifth level of Foundation Establishment, and most of them were at the fourth level of Foundation Establishment, making them very easy for him to kill.

After sheathing the Geng-Gold Sword, he landed beside Murong Qingxuan.

"Fellow Daoist, I'm late."

Looking at Murong Qingxuan, who was on the verge of death, Chen Changming squatted down and said in a low voice with an apologetic expression.

"No... it's not too late..."

Murong Qingxuan said weakly, her eyes gradually clearing. She stared intently at the handsome young man in front of her, feeling both incredibly shocked and surprisingly delighted.

This young man was actually a Foundation Establishment Body Cultivator.

His strength was too great; the four Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Changsun Family couldn't even survive two breaths in his hands.

"Fellow Daoist, my days are numbered. May I ask you for a favor?"

Murong Qingxuan stared at Chen Changming and asked urgently.

Chen Changming glanced around warily, and finding no one approaching, said in a deep voice, "Fellow Daoist, please speak. If it is possible for me, I will certainly do it."

"My name is Murong Qingxuan, and I come from the Murong Family, one of the Four Great Ancient Demon Guardian Families. These dead people are from the Changsun Family, also one of the Lineage. The reason they came to intercept and kill me was because of the Ancient Demon Fragment Map in my Murong Family's possession..."

Murong Qingxuan spoke quickly, a blush rising on her face, making her look charming and beautiful, not at all like someone seriously injured and dying.

Chen Changming felt heavy-hearted. Murong Qingxuan's deathbed resurgence was likely a sign that she wouldn't live much longer.

Murong Qingxuan took out an ancient map that looked like black metal and handed it to Chen Changming, saying slowly, "This is a Ancient Demon Fragment Map. Each of the Lineage holds one piece. Only by combining them into a complete Ancient Demon Map can we activate the entrance to the Ancient Demon Palace deep within Green Sheep Mountain."

Chen Changming nodded, took the Ancient Demon Fragment Map, and examined it. Suddenly, a thought struck him: Could the Ancient Demon Beast that Murong Qingxuan mentioned be one of the Six Ancients Ancient Demon Beast?

Pfft!

While Chen Changming was pondering, Murong Qingxuan took out another bottle, spat out several mouthfuls of blood, and handed it over, saying, "This Ancient Demon Fragment Map requires the blood of a member of the Murong Family to activate and use."

"Fellow Daoist Murong, is there an Ancient Demon Beast within this Ancient Demon Palace?" Chen Changming asked, voicing his question.

"Yes, there is the corpse of an Ancient Demon Beast in this Ancient Demon Palace."

Murong Qingxuan nodded and smiled slightly, "It seems you are no ordinary person, fellow Daoist, to have also heard of Ancient Demon Beast."

" By fortuitous opportunity, I saw it in an ancient book."

Chen Changming smiled.

Murong Qingxuan's breathing quickened. "Fellow Daoist, my Murong Family has no one left. Please go in my place. There is Gold Spirit Immortal Mushroom in this Ancient Demon Palace, which can increase the probability of Foundation Establishment cultivators breaking through to the Golden Core stage. Also, my ancestor perished in the Ancient Demon Palace. If you encounter him, please bring out his remains and bury them for me. I Murong Qingxuan, will repay you by serving you like a cow or a horse in my next life..."

Gold Spirit Immortal Mushroom?

Can it increase the probability of Foundation Establishment cultivator breaking through to the Golden Core stage?

Upon hearing Murong Qingxuan's words, Chen Changming couldn't help but feel a surge of joy.

His aptitude is poor, and even with the Ouyang Family's Golden Core cultivation Secret Method, it would probably be difficult for him to break through. However, if he could obtain the Gold Spirit Immortal Mushroom, his chances of forming Golden Core would be much greater.

At the same time, there are also Ancient Demon Corpse in this Ancient Demon Palace, which are a great tonic for the Demon Spirit Vine. By devouring the Ancient Demon Corpse, the Demon Spirit Vine will evolve significantly.

"Fellow Daoist Murong, I agree."

Chen Changming composed himself and spoke very seriously.

"Be careful of the other three families: the Changsun Family, the Duanmu Family, and the Xiahou Family..."

Murong Qingxuan thought for a moment, then laboriously removed her Storage Ring and continued, "The Ancient Demon Palace is like a maze, full of traps and extremely dangerous. Therefore, we must follow the markings on the incomplete map to reach the Ancient Demon Corpse. Our four guardian Lineage are here to reinforce the formation together. Fellow Daoist, the method for reinforcing the formation, as well as the map of Green Sheep Mountain, are in my Storage Ring. I've removed the spiritual imprint from it..."

After saying that, she handed over the Storage Ring.

"The Ancient Demon Palace will open in three years. If you are not ready, you can postpone it for a while longer. In any case, the Ancient Demon Palace will be open for the next twenty years."

Murong Qingxuan continued.

At this moment, the rosy blush on her face disappeared, replaced by a deathly pale color.

Her breathing grew weaker and weaker, her eyelids grew heavy, and she began to close them.

"I understand, Fellow Daoist Murong." Chen Changming grasped Murong Qingxuan's cold little hand, and a hint of shyness rose in her beautiful eyes before she passed away peacefully.

Chen Changming felt somewhat heavy-hearted.

Murong Qingxuan is dead.

Although they had only met by chance today, her death brought Chen Changming an indescribable spiritual shock.

"I owe her a huge favor, a favor that can only be repaid with the lives of the Changsun Family..."

Chen Changming sighed and slowly stood up.

He took out a clean Storage Bag, put Murong Qingxuan's cold body inside, and then used another Storage Bag to put away the old man's body as well.

After doing all this, he returned to the main road, untied the horse's reins, and let it live. Then he dragged the carriage into the valley, cast a Fireball Art, and burned the carriage to the ground.

After doing all this, in the vast darkness of the night, Chen Changming took off on his sword and soon found a large river, which he then plunged into.

He traveled dozens of miles underwater, then changed his clothes and appearance, altered his aura, and flew out of the river.

He was already wanted by the Immortal Alliance, and now he had obtained such a tremendous fortuitous opportunity as the Ancient Demon Fragment Map. Chen Changming was walking on thin ice at all times, which is why he was so cautious.

Chen Changming did not travel at night. He found a deserted cave to rest in, lit a campfire, cut some pieces of Demon Beast flesh and blood, and roasted them over the fire.

Taking advantage of the barbecue, he took out Murong Qingxuan's Storage Ring, sent in a wisp of his Divine Sense, and examined it.

"A map of the Blue Flower Dynasty?"

What he saw was a complete map of the Blue Flower Dynasty.

After examining the map for a moment, Chen Changming located the Green Sheep Mountain.

He searched the ring again and found a special map of Green Sheep Mountain. The map depicted the mountains and rivers of the entire Green Sheep Mountain, with a small red dot marking the entrance to the Ancient Demon Palace.

Besides the two maps, the Storage Ring also contained some commonly used pills such as Heavenly Spirit Pill, Hemostasis Pill, and Detoxification Pill, as well as seven or eight second-tier talisman papers, a mid-tier Law Artifact, and more than ten thousand Spirit Stone.

There are only five hundred low-grade Heavenly Spirit Pill.

This shows that the Murong Family had indeed declined, so Murong Qingxuan didn't have many Cultivation Resources at her disposal. She placed all her hopes on the ancestral remains and the Gold Spirit Immortal Mushroom in the Ancient Demon Palace.

"Ancient Demon Palace..."

Chen Changming stared at the flickering campfire, his gaze gradually deepening, and his heart burning ever hotter.
