The Black Seal, the Nine-Headed Demon King
Once the teleportation array is assembled, the Luozhen Sect will have a way to communicate with the outside world.
Although the Luozhen Sect was going to reclaim wasteland and relocate to Azure Jiao Marsh, it was not going to go into seclusion, so it could not sever its connection with the outside world.
Seeing the busy disciples of the Luozhen Sect, and realizing that the teleportation array wouldn't be assembled anytime soon, Li Yunjing Li Yunjing to leave.
But before he could leave, a sudden exclamation rang out.
This immediately caught Li Yunjing's attention.
Li Yunjing quickly looked over and saw a disciple holding a dark, indistinct object in his hand.
This thing releases extremely strong spiritual energy fluctuations; it doesn't look like an ordinary object.
Li Yunjing walked over, and the disciple immediately bowed upon seeing Li Yunjing.
Li Yunjing said, "Let me see what you have in your hand."
The disciple obediently handed over what he was holding to Li Yunjing.
Li Yunjing took it and examined it carefully in his palm.
This thing is about the size of a button; it's a stamp.
There were some patterns engraved on the bottom, which looked like characters, but Li Yunjing didn't know the meaning of these characters.
"You guys keep busy."
Li Yunjing put away the seal, said something to the disciples around him, and then left.
Li Yunjing took the seal to find Nangong Chengyu.
Nangong Chengyu has profound knowledge of ancient writing.
Perhaps he knows what's on the bottom of the seal.
When they found Nangong Chengyu, he and Wang Qianxue were building a small house for the two of them.
Although there was a place for the two of them to live inside the Grotto-Heaven, they preferred to Grotto-Heaven outside.
So the two found a secluded island to live on.
Li Yunjing explained his purpose to Nangong Chengyu and then showed him the seal.
Nangong Chengyu carefully examined the pattern at the bottom of the seal.
After a long while, Nangong Chengyu returned the seal to Li Yunjing.
"I don't know. These patterns are not any ancient script I recognize; perhaps they are just patterns."
Upon hearing this, Li Yunjing shook his head. "If even Master doesn't know, then there's nothing we can do."
"Where did you get this?" Nangong Chengyu asked curiously.
Li Yunjing told him what had just happened.
After listening, Nangong Chengyu pondered for a moment and then said, "Why don't you try refining this thing and see what it's used for?"
Li Yunjing nodded slightly. "That's exactly what I was thinking, but I was more curious about the pattern on the bottom, which is why I came to find my master first."
After exchanging a few words with Nangong Chengyu, Li Yunjing decided not to disturb him any further.
After leaving, Li Yunjing returned to the Grotto-Heaven.
Upon entering his cave abode, Li Yunjing unleashed his immense Law Power to envelop the seal.
The hand Method Formula began to change continuously, and circles of runes appeared, dancing around the seal.
Li Yunjing wanted to try to refine this seal.
Time passed slowly, and half an hour went by.
Li Yunjing stopped, his brows furrowed, looking utterly incredulous.
"It's been so long, and there's still no sign of this seal being refined." Li Yunjing muttered to himself.
After a full half-hour of refining, the seal showed absolutely no change, which was truly unbelievable.
Given Li Yunjing's current cultivation level, even a fifth-grade Law Artifact should have been partially refined by now, after half an hour.
Li Yunjing couldn't help but take the seal in his hand again and examine it carefully.
Before Li Yunjing could notice anything amiss, the seal suddenly floated up on its own.
Buzz--
A loud noise suddenly rang out.
The seal suddenly cracked open, and golden light burst forth from the crack.
The next moment, a black fragment fell off the print.
Li Yunjing then realized that the mark was not black, but reddish-gold.
The black color is just a layer of dirt on the surface of the print.
As one black fragment fell off, more black fragments followed.
Before long, the seal was restored to its original state.
The golden light emitted by the seal was dazzling, like the sun in the sky.
Meanwhile, it was trembling incessantly, and it was unclear what was about to happen.
At this moment, the Immortal Alliance Token on Li Yunjing's body suddenly floated out automatically.
Wang Qianxue's voice came from the Immortal Alliance Token.
"Yunjing, come out of the Grotto-Heaven quickly, something big has happened!"
Li Yunjing was taken aback, then immediately put away the seal and left quickly.
Once outside the Grotto-Heaven, Li Yunjing knew what the important matter Wang Qianxue had mentioned was.
To the northeast of Azure Jiao Marsh, a huge pillar of light stands majestically, like a pillar connecting heaven and earth.
"That is..."
Li Yunjing looked surprised.
At this moment, the Alligator Dragon, shaking its head and wagging its tail, strode through the void.
Upon seeing Li Yunjing, the Alligator Dragon headed straight for him.
Upon landing, the Alligator Dragon shed its beast form and transformed into a human.
"Sect Leader, the Nine-Headed Demon King's heir is about to be born!"
Alligator Dragon hurriedly walked up to Li Yunjing, his face extremely anxious.
Li Yunjing raised an eyebrow. "The Nine-Headed Demon King? Tell me more."
"Reporting to the Sect Leader, the Nine-Headed Demon King was originally a demon king of the Azure Jiao Kingdom, one of the four demon kings taken in by the Azure Jiao Kingdom."
After the fall of the Azure Jiao Kingdom, the Nine-Headed Demon King went into seclusion and later died due to the exhaustion of his lifespan.
However, before his death, the Nine-Headed Demon King told his descendants that he had placed all the wealth he had accumulated in his life in one place.
All you need to do is hold the heirloom he passed down to you to enter that place.
However, the Nine-Headed Demon King had offended many powerful demons during his lifetime. After his death, his descendants suffered and were all killed not long after.
This led to the loss of all traces of the wealth left behind by the Nine-Headed Demon King.
Alligator Dragon spoke very quickly and explained the matter in no time.
"Then how can you be sure that it is the inheritance of the Nine-Headed Demon King?" Li Yunjing asked.
The Alligator Dragon immediately explained, "That place is Falling Cloud Mountain, which was the residence of the Nine-Headed Demon King."
Our clan once had a good relationship with the Nine-Headed Demon King, so the Nine-Headed Demon King once revealed to our clan the location of his inheritance.
He said his wealth was kept in his residence.
Therefore, I can now confirm that the pillar of light is a harbinger of the Nine-Headed Demon King's impending wealth!
Li Yunjing nodded slightly. "Alright, I'll credit you for this first. If what you say is true, I'll credit you for another."
Li Yunjing immediately contacted the Spirit Transformation cultivator of the Luozhen Sect.
Not long after, several Spirit Transformation from the Luozhen Sect arrived on Luozhen Island.
Luozhen Island is the island where the Grotto-Heaven is located, and it is also the main base of the Luozhen Sect.
Li Yunjing first relayed Alligator Dragon's words to everyone in a simple way.
Upon hearing this, a glint of light flashed in Lu Xian's eyes.
"Demon King? What realm is he in?"
The Alligator Dragon responded, "According to our clan's records, the Nine-Headed Demon King was at least at the Dao Integration Realm at that time, but the specific minor realm is not fully recorded."
"The wealth left behind by a Dao Integration Realm, if we were to obtain it..."
Xie Zheng was somewhat excited.
I've been in Tianyuan for a while now.
He had heard of the Dao Integration Realm, but had never actually witnessed it.
However, he had already entered the Spirit Transformation, so he could also deduce the terrifying power of the Dao Integration Realm.
He was definitely no match for someone at the Dao Integration Realm; a single strike from the Dao Integration Realm could easily kill him.
Such a person has accumulated a lifetime's worth of wealth; it goes without saying that it must be incredibly astonishing.
Perhaps by absorbing this wealth, Xie Zheng could break through to the Dao Integration Realm.
Fang Hexuan was even more excited, as he had already reached the Spirit Transformation Perfection.
He was just one step away from Dao Union, but he couldn't seem to cross that step.
Now, a Demon King who has achieved Dao Union has emerged with the wealth accumulated throughout his life; perhaps his fortuitous opportunity to break through lies within it.
"Yunjing, we must go to Falling Cloud Mountain immediately to obtain the Nine-Headed Demon King's inheritance. Perhaps my breakthrough fortuitous opportunity lies there!"
