The black Maybach drove smoothly along the winding mountain road.
Outside the windows, rolling mountain ranges formed a beautiful landscape.
Inside the car, however, the atmosphere was somewhat heavy after the harrowing battle they had just fought.
Yue Xiaofei gripped the steering wheel, replaying that final slash in his mind.
The exhilaration of power surging through his entire body, of his blade cutting through everything, still set his heart racing.
[Eight Formulas for Breaking the Edge]!
[Demon-Slaying Blade]!
This blade technique was practically tailor-made for him-for the [emperor engine]!
He had a feeling that once he thoroughly mastered this blade technique...
His strength would reach an entirely new level!
"Dad, where are we headed next?"
After calming his excitement a little, Yue Xiaofei asked the question.
They now had both the [Nine-Turn Soul-Returning Herb] and the [Mingwang Relic].
According to what his father had said earlier, only one final item remained.
"Heijiang Province."
Yue Changlong leaned back in his seat, resting with his eyes closed, and calmly named their destination.
"The Northern Frontier Snow Region. Our target is [fountain of youth water]."
"Fountain of youth water?"
Yue Xiaofei smacked his lips. The name alone made it sound like something extraordinary.
"Yes. Legend has it that sacred water from the Heavenly Mountain Jade Pool dripped into the mortal world and gathered into a divine spring."
Yue Changlong explained slowly, "Its water contains an enormous amount of life energy, with the miraculous ability to bring the dead back to life and restore flesh to bare bones."
"Of course, legends tend to exaggerate. But that spring water really can repair and nourish the body to a tremendous degree. It's an indispensable part of our plan."
"Then who has this [fountain of youth water] now? Is it with one of the Hidden Sects, too?"
