Lord Xue Ying

Chapter 606: Investigation

Translator: Radiant Editor: Radiant

Within the underground palace, on the icy-blue mat, Xue Ying was reflecting while seated cross-legged.

There were three big questions he had to solve in order to purify the Sun Star Nucleus Stone. Collecting the '12 precious materials' ranked second, and was a task harder than collecting the Void Black Soil! This was because half of the precious materials were very rare, and even though their use was narrow and the value wasn't high, they were rarely seen! Collecting them was exceptionally difficult, and he still lacked two currently.

'The news has long spread across all powerful existences. Those with the precious materials and are willing to trade have traded. Those who aren't willing, will not be doing so even if I waited for a longer period.' Xue Ying frowned, 'And now, I can only pass on my hope to the countless World Deities, hoping that there would be people with those two precious materials.'

There were many World Deities scattered across the entire Deity world and Abyss.

The probability of them getting the precious materials was much higher than the powerful existences getting them.

Xue Ying currently had already spread out the news that he was collecting those two precious materials.

'The Seven-Leaf Stone Fruit and Jade Heart Grass Root.' Xue Ying might be distressed, but he could only put it aside, 'There's no other ways than to wait.'

If he could not collect within a year, then he would wait ten years, 100 years, or even 10,000 years to a million years!

There would eventually be a day when he finished collecting them.

'I'll begin looking through these treasures.' Xue Ying began looking through what the guests of the opening feast had given him. He looked through those given by World Deities and ordinary True Gods, and even those given by Bamboo Mountain Prefecture Master, Paragon Huo Cheng and even Monarch Green!

'Those stronger will give more precious gifts.' Xue Ying laughed. The guests knew what they were doing, and were clear about what they should send at what level. In this Deity world and Abyss, it had long become a convention. Naturally, there would be those extraordinary ones like the gifts given by 'Forefather Golden Firmament' was very shameful, yet it was good he had even given something.

'Only the three Paragons and Fifth Uncle Master have given something unique.' Xue Ying thought.

'This is given by Big Brother Huo Cheng.' Xue Ying waved his hand, causing a wine flask to appear. The wine flask was sealed. Opening up the cap, he could smell a fragrance diffusing. The moment it entered his nose…

Hong!

An unseen power shot into his true deity heart, causing Xue Ying to tremble subconsciously.

'Fire Dragon Blood Fruit Wine?' Xue Ying immediately understood what treasure this was. The Fire Dragon Blood Fruit Wine was used to aid in cultivation. Sniffing it could cause the deity heart to tremble. If he drank it in one mouth, his true deity heart would release its potential, allowing him to enter a half-conscious fleeting state, and this sort of state was strangely right when comprehending during cultivation.

A cup of Fire Dragon Blood Fruit Wine was relatively precious, and this flask had an even higher value.

'Big Brother Huo Cheng is truly conscientious.' Xue Ying understood that such gift was a great help for transcending.

Xue Ying kept the flask of Fire Dragon Blood Fruit Wine, taking out a circular plate. This circular plate had an imprint diagram and was intricately beautiful. He had just inspected it when Xue Ying recognized what it was, 'It's an Array Disk!'

'This is the core of a mighty array.' Xue Ying thought, 'Seeing the shape of the array disk, it should be the core of an array left behind in a certain ancient historical remain. It has been taken out by Bamboo Mountain Prefecture Master. This residence has just been constructed, and is indeed lacking a formidable array.'

The Monarch Residence was filled with arrays he comprehended and were able to cause Stage Four World Deity to cower slightly. But to those at the same level, it was no threat at all.

'With this array disk as the core, I'll be able to layer some more arrays.' Xue Ying revealed a grin. This gift by Bamboo Mountain Prefecture Master was what he wanted.

Finally, Xue Ying flipped his hand, though it was empty on his hand.

In reality, he had a palm-sized sculpture on his palm, just that it could not be seen with the naked eyes.

If he used his consciousness to sense it, he should be able to detect that palm-sized humanoid sculpture. It was a cross-legged humanoid figure.

'Qing Yao has become a disciple under Big Brother Huo Cheng. This treasure can be given to Yu'er then.' Xue Ying lightly nodded. It was a unique treasure which the true deity heart could use. One had to know that a treasure the true deity heart could use was something even Xue Ying and Jing Qiu did not have! But their deity hearts were powerful, and this unique treasure wasn't of much use. The help to those weaker would be much more apparent.

If comparing value…

The sculpture was equivalent to the Fire Dragon Blood Fruit Wine. The array disk was relatively cheaper.

'The most precious should be this.' Xue Ying collected all other materials, taking out that piece of black feather. Black Bird Uncle Master had given him a Black Feather which made Xue Ying startled indeed.

From this feather, he could determine that the body of Black Bird Uncle Master was much stronger than his own Extreme Annihilation Mysterious Body! The gap was so vast that it was crazy. Xue Ying estimated that even Rulers had a hard time trying to kill Black Bird Uncle Master.

"Hua."

Xue Ying lowered his head.

Permeating through, the Black Bird became bigger in his boundary, turning into a vast land. The entire land was formed from many thin pipes, intertwining in a truly mystical way! It was because of this twist that made the land more stable–and also the strength of this Black Feather. The degree of strength far surpassed that of the black armor from the Extreme Annihilation Mysterious Body.

'Every single thin pipe has its own void passage within? Heading to an unknown location?' Xue Ying was pondering. The inner part of the thin pipes had a profoundness that wasn't any less than the structure of the land of the entire Black Feather. It was just that the inner section had been too profound that Xue Ying could not see it. Even the flowing markings were fuzzy to him.

'Somehow, I feel that this void passage could not be resisted.' Xue Ying thought.

It was an instinct.

Just like a rat that would feel fear when meeting a mouse, this was an instinct stemming from life itself.

Xue Ying could feel that no matter what, he would be unable to suppress this void passage after seeing this void passage within the thin pipes! Through the void passage, he could arrive at a specific location! The void passage had a mystery… comparable to that piece of talisman he just got.

'Every single thin pipe has such a terrifying void passage. With millions and millions of thin pipes forming into the entire Black Feather land.' Xue Ying was startled with its structure. When would it be that his own body would have such a profound structure? By then, he should be able to match a Ruler at least.

'I wonder where Black Bird Uncle Master come from? He isn't on the Cosmos Deity-Demon List either.' Xue Ying thought for a moment before throwing it aside. He completely immersed himself in the structure of this Black Feather land.

The void passage was too fuzzy, and he could not comprehend it.

The Black Feather land was much clearer. It was even quite similar to some of the 'World Profound Mysteries' which he comprehended. It was just more complex by an unknown amount. This made Xue Ying vaguely understand that this might be his teacher's purpose! Borrowing this, he was able to increase his comprehension of the world, allowing him to be even more encompassing of all other Deity Hearts and transcend with a single move!

...

As time passed.

Dong Bo Yu had stayed for 300 or so years within the Monarch Residence. Under the help of his parents, and after being given by that sculpture given by Monarch Green, he left eventually. Xue Ying could only rely on the Bloodshed Tavern's intelligence network to understand the movement of his son.

Qing Yao had become even more hardworking in her cultivation after becoming a disciple under Paragon Huo Cheng, allowing Paragon Huo Cheng to frequently praise her whenever he sees Xue Ying.

Within the blink of an eye, it had been 16,000 years after the establishment of Monarch Dong Bo Residence.

"Hu."

By the Black Fog Sea land, the teleportation array had a figure appearing.

It was a green-robed silvery-haired girl.

This green-robed silvery-haired girl looked at the vast and grand Monarch Residence with some desire in her eyes, 'Monarch Dong Bo residence. I am finally here.'

Very soon.

She arrived at the front door of the residence.

The two words 'Dong Bo' inscribed on the front door gave an aura that made her tremble! The aura was so vigorous that it was akin to an ancient giant beast, somehow showing the capability of being able to destroy the world just by activating a strand of its power. Even powerful existences would die in front of it!

'Indeed, the legendary Monarch Dong Bo. For him to visit Dark Abyss by himself, fighting one on three and even killed a powerful existence of the Abyss.' The green-robed silvery-haired girl thought. She did not know that the clan protection array around Monarch Dong Bo residence had transformed. It was now using the array disk provided by Bamboo Mountain Prefecture Master as the core, substantially increasing the operating power of the many arrays.

Even those at the level of Xue Ying would not dare to behave atrociously here.

"This is the Monarch Residence, are there any reasons you came here for?" A World Deity guard at the entrance of the residence chided.

"The Monarch is collecting precious materials. I have a precious material with me, and do hope for you to inform the Monarch." The green-robed silvery-haired girl respectfully said.

"Precious material?"

The two World Deity guards at the entrance and other World Deity guards were all startled. They knew that their Monarch had always been collecting precious materials.

"Wait here for me. I'll inform right at this moment." That World Deity guard did not dare to slight as he hurried on to report upwards.
