Chapter 375: Seeking a Master's Help for the Great Yue Kingdom, the Sky Caverns are a Treasure Trove

On the flying boat, everyone was stunned and couldn't snap out of their astonishment for a long time.

Jiang Buping shook his head, his blurry eyes slowly opening. To his surprise, his injuries had completely healed, and his physical body had even become slightly stronger.

"Someone saved me?" he wondered. With his severe wounds, who could have possibly rescued him? His physical body was almost completely shattered, and every piece of flesh was held together solely by the power of his divine soul. If that power were to be withdrawn, his body would immediately collapse.

Who could have healed such terrifying injuries? And who would be willing to spend precious heavenly resources to aid his recovery?

Did the Immortal Revered save him?

Shaking his head to clear his thoughts, he lifted his blurry gaze and was shocked by what he saw.

What was that? A giant standing tall and proud? No! That was no ordinary giant, but a godly being as vast as the heavens and the earth!

"My divine soul must be playing tricks on me, creating such an illusion for the first time. Has the Unchanging Qi finally started to affect my consciousness? Am I going to become muddle-headed and lose my wits, like a mindless beast? I'd rather die than live like that. I might as well keep sleeping; everything will be fine as long as I stay asleep."

With these thoughts, Jiang Buping tilted his head to the side, retracting his divine soul's power and falling into a deep slumber.

Standing tall and majestic, like a divine being, his awe-inspiring aura shook the world. How could such a powerful being exist? It had to be an illusion, distorting the image of a martial artist.

Jiang Buping felt a pang of sadness as he realized that the Unchanging Qi had indeed started to affect his consciousness. He knew he couldn't hold on any longer. There was some reluctance in his heart.

Unable to keep himself awake any longer, Jiang Buping gave in to his exhaustion and fell into a deep sleep.

After the initial shock, Sui Hongwu was the first to regain his senses.

Kneeling down abruptly, his heart filled with excitement, he pleaded, "Sui Hongwu begs the esteemed master to save the Great Yue Kingdom!"

Blood Zi Tu was dead.

However, the turmoil in the Great Yue Kingdom had not subsided, especially in the Sky Caverns, where a fierce battle was taking place. The Great Yue Emperor was tied down there, along with many powerful experts of the kingdom.

The smaller sky caverns were also at constant risk of falling into enemy hands.

Only the master before them could turn the tide and save the Great Yue Kingdom.

The Sky Cavern in Qi Yun County had already fallen, although the army of the Underworld had been led out by Blood Zi Tu and annihilated.

However, it was imperative to send someone to guard the cavern immediately to prevent any new Underworld warriors from entering and infiltrating the county.

"I beg the esteemed master to save the Great Yue Kingdom!"

The other two True King Venerables of the Great Yue Kingdom also hastily knelt and pleaded respectfully.

Li Xuan's gaze turned thoughtful. Since he had already taken action, what was the harm in doing so once more?

His understanding of the Divine Realm was limited, and these powerful experts of the Great Yue Kingdom, especially the Great Yue Emperor, had a much deeper knowledge of the realm.

Moreover, Xu Yan, Meng Chong, and Fang Hao were eager to test their skills in the Sky Caverns.

Li Xuan was aware that it was only through battle that Xu Yan and the others could rapidly improve their martial arts.

Furthermore, the Sky Caverns were known to house treasures and unique items possessed by the Underworld, making them a treasure trove for accumulating the foundation needed for each breakthrough in cultivation. This was especially beneficial for Xu Yan and his companions, who required a vast collection of treasures for every advancement in their cultivation.

"Then let's make a trip there," Li Xuan suggested.

Sui Hongwu was overjoyed. "Thank you, Senior!"

Thus, the crisis in Qi Yun County came to an end, and there was no longer any need to visit Qi Yun County City. The flying boat changed course and headed toward the capital of the Great Yue Kingdom.

Due to the distance, even at full speed, the flying boat would need a considerable amount of time to reach its destination.

However, with the crisis in Qi Yun County resolved and Blood Shadow Pavilion Master dead, the powerful experts of the Great Yue Kingdom, including the Great Yue Emperor, were enough to guard the Sky Caverns and prevent any major disasters. There was no need to rush.

Although Blood Zi Tu and his army of blood slaves had been annihilated, the Sky Cavern in Qi Yun County had fallen. It was now necessary to assign someone to oversee it.

Sui Hongwu immediately instructed the two True King Venerables from Qi Yun County to take charge of guarding the Sky Cavern and to spread the news to the remaining True King Venerables in the county to handle the aftermath of the crisis.

As for the betrayers among the True King Venerables, they would have to be hunted down and killed.

For this task, Sui Hongwu apologized to Li Xuan, explaining that he needed to deal with these matters personally, with Feng Yan acting as their guide.

With an Immortal Venerable taking action, the unrest in Qi Yun County would soon be pacified.

The flying boat transformed into a stream of light, speeding toward the capital of the Great Yue Kingdom, where one of the Underworld's Sky Caverns was located.

"This flying boat is a bit slow and lacking," Fang Hao commented.

Restricted by the materials obtained from the Spirit Realm, the Evergreen Pavilion's flying boat fell short of their expectations and was not quite suitable for their current strength. It needed to be enhanced.

Now that they had arrived in the Divine Realm, they would be able to acquire various divine objects and materials to elevate the flying boat to an even higher level.

On the boat, with Feng Yan, an Immortal Venerable, present, Xu Yan and the others took the opportunity to ask him about the Divine Realm and the various heavenly treasures it possessed.

After all, the accumulation required to break through from the Divine Passage Realm to the Divine Countenance Realm was immense, requiring a larger number of higher-grade treasures.

One could imagine that as cultivation progressed, the treasures needed to accumulate foundation became rarer and the quantities required became more substantial, necessitating early preparation.

In addition to these inquiries, they also asked about the Sky Caverns, particularly whether there were any unique treasures within them.

The secrets held by an Immortal Venerable far surpassed those known to a True King Venerable like Cheng Zhan.

For example, Feng Yan knew much more about the Unchanging Cavern and the Unchanging Qi.

As Li Xuan quietly listened and gathered more information about the Divine Realm and the Sky Caverns from Feng Yan, he also contemplated the fifth gate of martial arts, formulating the theory and martial arts techniques for it.

Feng Yan was naturally forthcoming with his knowledge, especially since these were his senior's disciples, who were clearly new to the Divine Realm. This was also his chance to build a closer relationship with Xu Yan and the others.

Only by facing a true master could they fathom the depths of his power!

"Within the three major Underworld Sky Caverns in the Green Lotus Realm, there lies a unique divine material known as Blood Cloud Gold, formed by the prolonged permeation of Underworld blood energy.

"Blood Cloud Gold can not only be forged into divine artifacts but also possesses a special property. It can be infused into one's blood, where it has the effect of replenishing essence blood.

"Furthermore, it can be nurtured with essence blood to create a divine artifact unique to the individual. However, Blood Cloud Gold is difficult to obtain and extremely challenging to extract.

"Blood Cloud Gold is found near the Underworld's main base, and the closer it is to the core, the higher its grade. Since Blood Cloud Gold holds little value for Underworld warriors, it is usually left untouched..."

As Feng Yan described it, Xu Yan and the others listened with growing interest.

Blood Cloud Gold was undoubtedly an extraordinary treasure, especially with its ability to be infused into the bloodstream. If refined and incorporated into their self-nurtured weapons, it would undoubtedly yield remarkable results.

Moreover, Blood Cloud Gold was also one of the treasures that could enhance one's foundation.

According to Feng Yan, Blood Cloud Gold was quite abundant in the three major Sky Caverns, but due to their proximity to the Underworld's stronghold, guarded by Blood Zi Tu, it was difficult to venture deep inside for extraction.

Only Immortal Venerables dared to take the risk of entering and hastily extracting a small amount.

This was the reason why Blood Cloud Gold was an extremely rare treasure in the Green Lotus Realm. Even Immortal Venerables didn't dare linger too long, resulting in limited quantities being obtained each time.

Xu Yan and his companions were becoming increasingly intrigued by the Underworld Sky Caverns, realizing that they were treasure troves that could greatly enhance their foundation. They could easily gather enough valuables from these caverns to aid in their cultivation breakthroughs.

Seeing their interest, Master Fengyan generously took out his storage bag and presented them with an array of divine materials and elixirs.

"Go ahead, young friends. Take whatever catches your eye; no need to be shy around me!" Master Fengyan said, patting his chest.

"Master Fengyan, even as an Immortal Venerable, you still use a storage bag?" Fang Hao asked, eyeing the bag in his hand.

"My storage bag is no ordinary bag. It's made from a high-grade Swallow Mountain Toad, so its interior space is much larger than most," Master Fengyan explained, indicating that as an Immortal Venerable, his possessions were naturally of a higher caliber.

"Here, take this storage ring. Storage bags are outdated now," Fang Hao said, handing him a ring.

"A storage ring?" Master Fengyan was taken aback, and as he examined the ring, his mind raced with skepticism.

Fang Hao proceeded to explain the concept of storage rings, and Master Fengyan, though doubtful, decided to test it out by infusing his soul power into the ring. He was immediately astonished by what he discovered.

The small storage ring possessed a larger interior space than his own storage bag!

"Are you saying that by dripping blood into the ring, it forms a seal that only the owner can open? And if someone else tries to force it open, the seal will break?" Master Fengyan asked, his face filled with disbelief.

"Yes, it's a simple sealing technique. Not only does it prevent theft, but if you lose the ring, you can also use the residual imprint to quickly locate it," Fang Hao confirmed.

As Fang Hao rummaged through the pile of divine materials and elixirs that Master Fengyan had taken out, his eyes gleamed with excitement.

Sulingxiu, on the other hand, was captivated by the sight of the elixirs, her eyes glued to them. Then, she spotted a few small vials, picked them up, and opened them one by one.

Noticing her interest, Master Fengyan explained, "These pills are made by refining various divine elixirs together. Even an Immortal Venerable like me can use them to heal injuries and restore my energy."

However, Sulingxiu's face twisted in disdain, and she couldn't help but feel the pain of wasted resources. These pills were made from such precious elixirs that if she were to refine them into dan (pellet medicine)

, the results would be unimaginable, surely enhancing their cultivation rapidly.

"You're wasting heaven's gifts! Such rare divine elixirs, and you've turned them into a handful of pills? They're not even as effective as my dan made from divine spirit herbs!" Sulingxiu lamented, feeling the pain of wasted resources as she gathered the remaining elixirs to her side.

She then took out two bottles of dan and handed them to Master Fengyan. "These are for you. They're called Huisheng Dan, and even an Immortal Venerable can use them to quickly recover from injuries. And yes, these are made from divine spirit herbs."

Master Fengyan's face was filled with confusion as he took the dan. "Divine spirit herbs?"

He opened one of the bottles, poured a dan into his palm, and examined it closely. His intuition told him that this dan was extraordinary, and he couldn't resist popping it into his mouth.

"Thi... This really is made from divine spirit herbs and not just high-grade divine herbs?" he asked, his eyes wide.

"Why would I lie about that?" Sulingxiu replied.

As she and Yue'er sorted through Master Fengyan's elixirs, she continued, "These elixirs would be wasted on you. How about I use them to refine some dan for you, and you can consider it payment for my services?"

"Deal! Deal!" Master Fengyan eagerly nodded.

If dan made from divine spirit herbs had such remarkable effects, he could only imagine the potency of dan made from divine herbs. Their value would be immeasurable!

Fang Hao, who was also sorting through a pile of divine materials, proposed, "Master Fengyan, let me forge an inner armor for you using these materials, and you can consider them my payment. How does that sound?"

"Inner armor?" Master Fengyan asked, curious.

"It can be integrated into your body and provide instant defense from within," Fang Hao explained.

Master Fengyan's heart skipped a beat as he eagerly nodded. "Yes, yes! Take them all!"

The idea of an armor that could be nurtured within one's body intrigued him. Even an Immortal Venerable like him was impressed, and Cheng Zhan, standing by, couldn't help but feel envious.

Eventually, Cheng Zhan couldn't contain himself any longer. He took out his own storage bag and, with a sycophantic smile, asked, "What about my collection? Can I interest you in anything here?"

He dumped the contents of his bag onto the deck of the flying boat, revealing a collection that, while not as rare or high-grade as Master Fengyan's, was much more diverse and abundant.

After all, Master Fengyan, as an Immortal Venerable, no longer needed many of the items that a True King Venerable like Cheng Zhan would find useful, so his collection was naturally smaller in quantity and variety.

"Sure," Fang Hao agreed, handing Cheng Zhan a storage ring as well.

Sulingxiu also promised to provide him with dan.

Soon, the flying boat buzzed with activity as Fang Hao and Sulingxiu prepared to craft their respective creations, while Yun Miaomiao, Du Yu'ying, and Yue'er sorted through Master Fengyan and Cheng Zhan's possessions, categorizing them neatly.

Master Fengyan watched Fang Hao's intricate and mysterious forging process with wide eyes, his heart filled with curiosity.

"No wonder he's the disciple of a master. His skills are indeed extraordinary. I wonder if his master is from that rumored place?" Master Fengyan mused, his heart pounding with anticipation.

He felt that it was highly likely that Fang Hao's master hailed from that rumored location, as only a place of such legends could possess such profound knowledge.

"Could it be that the Divine Realm is about to undergo a major upheaval, prompting the emergence of such masters to address the changing situation? Or perhaps the very heavens and earth are about to undergo a transformation?" Master Fengyan's heart grew heavy with the weight of his speculations.

If not for such significant events, why would powerful beings from that rumored place appear in the Divine Realm?

On the flying boat, Xu Yan and his companions were busy with their tasks, while Wu Tiannan and the others felt a bit uncomfortable, especially the Great Zhou Emperor and his group. Their experience in the Divine Realm thus far had been less than ideal.

At that moment, they had no idea where to go next.

Should they just stay at Evergreen Pavilion?

The thought of being able to interact closely with powerful masters and potentially gain great opportunities crossed their minds, but they knew it wasn't realistic.

All they could do was take things one step at a time and hope for the best. People like Lei Yun, the master of Thunder Cloud Villa, feared that joining a superior sect in the Divine Realm would only lead to their demise.

As Fang Hao finished crafting the inner armor for Master Fengyan, his thoughts turned to upgrading the flying boat.

Li Xuan, on the other hand, had his mind immersed in the Great Way of the Golden Book, and the fifth gate of martial arts was almost complete. He eagerly anticipated the results.
