Huwang Xiao swiftly took out Chen Tianqi’s spatial band; in the past few days, he had been occupied with recovery the injuries of the Asura’s Gate Elders and experienced yet to find the time to check Chen Tianqi’s spatial ring.
When Huwang Xiao opened Chen Tianqi’s spatial band, his eyes rounded in astonishment.
Countless medicinal pellets piled high up in one corner, and there is an ice crystal pillar that loomed over the area. Inside that crystal ice pillar was the body of the primordial divine dragon!
Primordial divine dragon!
Huwang Xiao became ecstatic after a brief moment of astonishment. He didn’t expect that the main one primordial divine dragon body snatched by Chen Tianqi hadn’t been refined yet, and was wholly well preserved.
“That is great!” Huwang Xiao discrete a joyful laughter.
With the addition of this primordial divine dragon body, by the time he managed to collect enough Dragon God Grass, his chances of breaking into Tenth Order Saint realm more than doubled.
Moreover, with the addition of another primordial divine dragon body, his Twelve Forms of the Dragon God could be upgraded to Thirteen Types of the Dragon God, greatly improving its attack power.
Huwang Xiao managed to calm his emotions moments later, quickly scanning the other sides of the spatial ring. Apart from the primordial divine dragon sealed in the snow crystal pillar, Chen Tianqi’s spatial band contained numerous therapeutic pellets, from heaven quality to divine grade. Most of them were heaven quality, then holy grade, and some divine grade. Still, the best divine quality pellet was a mid-divine grade pellet.
Other than medicinal pellets which were piled high up like small hills, Huwang Xiao also found a lot of herbs, ranging from one thousand to 9 thousand years old; he also saw two battle skill techniques, one was the Angel’s Spear and the other was called Bright Luminance Tactic.
Both of these techniques were useless to Huwang Xiao, but could be left for disciples or Huwang Family’s younger generation that possessed a light element martial spirit.
Huwang Xiao then moved on to check on the three spatial bands of the deceased Deities Templar Elders, however, this time, Huwang Xiao was disappointed. Inside these three Deities Templar Elders’ spatial rings, other than some soul pellets and elixirs, there have been only some technique manuals, not a single Dragon God Grass could be found.
After confirming that Chen Tianqi and the three Deities Templar Elders’ spatial had no Dragon God Lawn, Huwang Xiao transferred the ice crystal primordial divine dragon from Chen Tianqi’s spatial ring in to the Xumi Temple and began to comprehend the new Thirteen Forms of the Dragon God.
Huwang Xiao spent the whole night time in comprehending new found insights. He immediately pointed out that with the additional primordial divine dragon, the assault power increased greatly.
The night passed quietly.
The next morning, Huwang Xiao summoned Zhao Shu and Zhang Fu and instructed these to pass down an order to all Asura’s Gate disciples, telling them to exert all their efforts in searching for Dragon God Grass. Those who managed to find news about the Dragon God Lawn would be rewarded with ten thousand heaven quality nature pellets and ten billion gold coins.
Ten thousand heaven grade heart pellets!
Just for the news!
Zhao Shu and Zhang Fu were both stupefied with shock, but even though, neither of these dared to question Huwang Xiao’s reason, both complying respectfully.
“Sovereign, those fifteen big families, do we need to…? ” Zhang Fu ventured cautiously, the underlying question was to know if Huwang Xiao wished to deal with those fifteen big families that worked in cahoots with Cosmos God Cult, Distinct Void Door, White Phoenix House, and other forces, dishonoring the sovereignty of the Asura’s Gate.
Huwang Xiao thought for a moment then shook his head, “No need, let them jump a while much longer.”
For the existing Huwang Xiao, the most important task at hand was to find Dragon God Grass and strive to enhance his strength to the God Realm. As long as he could discovery to God Realm, when enough time arrived for the Grand Martial Exchange, Huwang Xiao could have the means for self-protection relying on his own strength.
When Zhao Shu and Zhang Fu heard Huwang Xiao’s decision of not confronting the fifteen big family members, both were genuinely surprised. That they had assumed that Huwang Xiao would action.
“Leave for now.” Huwang Xiao waved his hands, signaling Zhao Shu and Zhang Fu to retreat.
Both have not choice but to do as ordered.
When the two left, Huwang Xiao continued to shut himself in closed-door practice.
Every day, he swallowed a Divine Dragon Pill and a drop of Geocentric Buddha Elixir without missing a day, putting his efforts in practicing the Godly Xumi Art, Asura Tactics, and the Thirteen Types of the Dragon God.
A month came and went quickly.
After this a month practice, Huwang Xiao noticed improvement in his Godly Xumi Art, Asura Strategies, and Thirteen Forms of the Dragon God. The most obvious result was the Thirteen Types of the Dragon God, Huwang Xiao got wholly comprehended it and no longer needed to observe the thirteen postures of the primordial divine dragons covered inside the crystal statues. In this one month, Huwang Xiao’s fight qi cultivation also reached top early-Fourth Order Saint realm.
Although more than a month had passed because the Asura Square battle, the news headlines about Chen Tianqi being killed by Huwang Xiao only gained more momentum, it was repeatedly talked about on Starcloud Continent.
After all, with Huwang Xiao at the helm of Asura’s Gate, it could possibly change the power structure on Starcloud continent. Huwang Xiao’s name was tied with way too many legendary miracles.
In the thirty-six oblasts under the Asura’s Gate governance, those big families that held treacherous intentions toward the Asura’s Gate naturally sensed ill at ease realizing that Huwang Xiao had gained full control of Asura’s Gate as the Sovereign, and assumed that Huwang Xiao would be pointing a sword towards them next.
However, one month handed without waves or ripples, there were no movements coming from Huwang Xiao’s side. All fifteen big families were secretly relieved.
The Enigma Oblast was the largest among the thirty-six oblasts managed by the Asura’s Gate. Further down from the Enigma Oblast was the Treasure Oblast which belonged to the Cosmos God Cult’s causes.
Due to this close distance between the Enigma Oblast and the Treasure Oblast, Cosmos God Cult disciples entering and exiting the Enigma Oblast was a norm. Relying on their Cosmos God Cult background, these disciples did not put the Qi Family, one of the fifteen big households in the Enigma Oblast, to them.
The Qi Family’s residence was located on the wealthiest street in the Enigma Oblast City.
At the moment, inside the Qi Family Residence hall, the Qi Family’s Patriarch, Qi Lei, was seated in the main hall together with all the family’s Elders.
“There has been no action from Huwang Xiao’s side so far, what is everyone’s opinion?” Qi Lei asked, his eyebrows furrowed deeply. Qi Lei’s voice was deep and sonorous. Although his words were simple and calm, they bore a lofty bearing.
“Patriarch, I think that this Huwang Xiao is circumspect in his actions, knowing that we have the Cosmos God Cult at our back. That’s why he dared not make a move on us until now.” Among the Qi Family Elders laughed.
“That must be it; this Huwang Xiao has offended Deities Templar. Just Deities Templar alone is enough to tie up most of his efforts, of course he wouldn’t want to offend the Cosmos God Cult at this time.” Another Elder echoed the same sentiment, “At least this Huwang Xiao has some self-knowledge.”
Qi Lei nodded his mind in agreement, “After thirteen years, at the Grand Martial Exchange, Huwang Xiao will be dead for sure!”
“Unless Huwang Xiao decides to submit to Cosmos God Cult and be their dog. Perhaps then, the Cult Innovator would extra his worthless life!” Another Qi Family Elder snickered.
>
This statement drew waves of laughter from Qi Lei and today's Elders.
Qi Lei added, “With Huwang Xiao’s loss of life at the Grand Martial Exchange, our Qi Family will take the initiative to strike the Enigma Oblast’s Castellan Manor. At that right time, the Enigma Oblast will our Qi Family’s paradise! And all Asura’s Gate disciples in the Enigma Oblast will be our Qi Family’s slaves!”
Ch.414
Since the Asura Square fight, Huwang Xiao’s side had not taken any action. The Qi Family shaped such opinions, and the other fourteen big families emerged to similar conclusions, convinced that Huwang Xiao was apprehensive toward the backing forces behind them, like the Distinct Void Door, White Phoenix House, and others.
On this particular morning hours, Huwang Xiao was practicing the Asura Sword Skill’s eight move: Mountain of Knives, Sea of Fire behind the Heavenly Sky Phoenix hill when Zhao Shu and Zhang Fu rushed over with faces full of joy to report to Huwang Xiao.
“Sovereign, we found the Dragon God Grass!” Zhao Shu exclaimed in buoyant mood to Huwang Xiao.
Huwang Xiao trembled slightly and his eyes lit up.
“According to the disciple's report, Cherish Oblast Qin Family’s Patriarch also joined the Ancient Dragon Clan ruins that 12 months and gathered eight stalks of Dragon God Lawn!” Zhang Fu interjected with a laugh.
“Eight stalks of Dragon God Grass!” Huwang Xiao was beaming.
Eight stalk Dragon God Lawn! It had been just enough for him to refine one primordial divine dragon body!
The amount of dragon essence within one primordial divine dragon was overwhelmingly abundant, a lot that it was impossible for just one single stalk of Dragon God Grass to have any effect in smoothing the violent surging energy during refinement; according to the old manuscript record, it mentioned that one needed at least seven to eight stalks of Dragon God Grass.
“Reward that disciple heavily!” Huwang Xiao said to Zhao Shu and Zhang Fu with a huge smile on his face.
Both acknowledged Huwang Xiao’s order with respect.
“However, Sovereign, the Treasure Oblast is Cosmos God Cult’s territory.” Zhao Shu highlighted his concern, “Furthermore, that Qin Family’s Patriarch wouldn't normally necessarily be willing to part with that eight stalks Dragon God Lawn.”
Huwang Xiao waved his hand non-chalantly, the smile never remaining his face, “It’s fine.” Since there was Dragon God Grass in the Qin Family Patriarch’s hands, things would be easy to cope with.
Although Dragon God Grass was also a very rare herb, its biggest role was to lessen the violent energy from a primordial divine dragon’s blood and essence. Holding those eight stalks of Dragon God Lawn would not bring much benefit to the Qin Family’s Patriarch.
So long as Huwang Xiao could remove something tempting enough in exchange, he believed that the other party would definitely be prepared to exchange them with the Dragon God Grass.
“Right, Sovereign, this subordinate has another matter to record. ” Zhang Fu all of a sudden remembered a matter.
“Oh, what is it?” Huwang Xiao asked.
Zhang Fu continued respectfully, “Snow Wind Continent’s Blessed Buddha Emperor sent a messenger to tell us that not long after we still left Blessed Buddha Empire, Princess Shi Xiaofei adopted behind us and came to the Starcloud Continent.”
“Shi Xiaofei is here now in Starcloud Continent…?!” Huwang Xiao was dumbfounded by the news.
At that time, Shi Xiaofei wanted Huwang Xiao to bring her over to Starcloud Continent, but he refused. He didn’t expect this girl to have the spunk to sneakily trail behind them.
“The Blessed Buddha Emperor said that Shi Xiaofei would send news back again every two to three times since she left Blessed Buddha Empire, however, from ten days ago, they have lost contact with Princess Shi Xiaofei.” Zhao Shu added.
Huwang Xiao’s brows creased into deep furrows, “10 days?” It looks like Shi Xiaofei might have fulfilled with some problem.
“Do we know the last place Shi Xiaofei was at before losing connection with the Blessed Buddha Empire?” Huwang Xiao grasped the most crucial point.
“Based on the Blessed Buddha Emperor, she was at the Treasure Oblast!”
“Treasure Oblast!” Huwang Xiao was slightly stunned, wasn’t this too much of a coincidence?
“The Blessed Buddha Emperor had a need to guard the Blessed Buddha Empire and struggling to leave the Snow Blowing wind Continent, thus he requested Sovereign's help to find Princess Shi Xiaofei’s whereabouts.” Zhang Fu said.
Huwang Xiao nodded.
The Blessed Buddha Emperor, Shi Fantian, was his Senior Brother, moreover, Shi Xiaofei could be looked at missing because of him, and it is at Starcloud Continent. Whether it was reason or relationship, it was only right that he help find Shi Xiaofei.
“Send word back to Senior Sibling Shi Fantian, tell him not to worry about this matter.” Huwang Xiao’s voice grew solemn.
Zhao Shu and Zhang Fu complied.
“I will head to Treasure Oblast right after this, in my own absence, the Asura’s Gate issues would need to trouble you both to handle.” Huwang Xiao added.
Both Zhao Shu and Zhang Fu were amazed that Huwang Xiao planned to check out Treasure Oblast in such hurry, without bringing either of them. Zhang Fu quickly requested to visit with Huwang Xiao.
Huwang Xiao shook his head, “I alone am enough. If all three of us are gone, who’s going to take care of matters at the headquarters? Don’t forget, the more folks, the bigger the target, the easier it is to draw Cosmos God Cult’s suspicion.”
Hearing Huwang Xiao’s argument, both old men reluctantly conceded. Huwang Xiao tasked them with handling various issues before Zhao Shu and Zhang Fu retreated.
After both of these remaining, Huwang Xiao thought of something. His amount vanished in a flicker for the north side of Heavenly Sky Phoenix Mountain. Located here, on this northern part, was Asura’s Gate treasure trove.
For the past month, Huwang Xiao had been busy along with his cultivation, practicing the Thirteen Forms of the Dragon God, the Godly Xumi Art, and Asura Tactics, and had yet to really have the time to visit the Asura’s Gate treasure trove. He kept in mind that his Get good at Ren Wokuang stated in the Asura Methods cultivation technique that he still left a ‘treasure’ for him inside the treasure trove, something that would aid his Asura Tactics cultivation.
Before he departed toward the Treasure Oblast, Huwang Xiao wanted to see what his this so-called treasure that his Master Ren Wokuang still left for him inside the Asura’s Gate treasure trove.
“Greeting the Sovereign!” As soon as Huwang Xiao made an appearance, the two Asura’s Gate Elders guarding the treasure trove appeared, greeting Huwang Xiao with respect.
“No dependence on so much ceremony, stand up.” Huwang Xiao said, indicating to both Elders to operate.
Huwang Xiao waved his hand, excusing both Elders as he walked on the treasure trove’s elaborate entrance.
The Asura’s Gate treasure trove entrance was a hundred meters tall and thirty meters wide. At first glance, one could hardly determine the material used to construct this door that looked dull and dark. It was daytime at the moment, the sun was shining bright and warm, but despite that, when one got closer to the door, a cold feeling enveloped them, a frigid air that appeared to penetrate deep into one’s bones.
Huwang Xiao wastounded; even though this much cold was nothing to a Fourth Order Saint world like him, if it were those Xiantian realm warriors, they probably couldn’t approach the door.
Standing right before the big door, Huwang Xiao still couldn’t figure out what material was used to create it. He scanned around, and finally, his sight dropped onto a palm imprint on the left aspect of the door.
Huwang Xiao placed his right palm right into the imprint on the door, operating the Asura Techniques. Asura qi surged forth from his palm, and instantly, the entire large framed door burst out in a stunning light that seemed to reach the sky as the e
ntranceway slowly opened.
The door to the Asura’s Gate treasure trove could only be opened using Asura qi, which was why Huwang Xiao wasn’t worried that item Professional Ren Wokuang remaining for him would fall into Chen Tianqi’s hand.
One step into the treasure trove, a whelming aura submerged Huwang Xiao, alarming him. Looking around, Huwang Xiao saw an altar in the middle of a spacious hall, and on that altar was a heavily chained strange creature that resembled a human, yet was not! Mysterious talisman symbols ran along those thick iron chains, glimmering occasionally.
Two short horns grew on the forehead of the strange creature. Its hands, legs, body, and other parts were covered with a layer of scales; its eye seemed to glow scarlet red, and all ten fingers were like claws that were dyed with fresh blood.
Occasionally, black mists would float away from its body.
“This is… Hell Asura?!” A thought clapped through Huwang Xiao’s brain, both his eyes protruded in surprise.
Hell Asura?!
The Asura’s Gate treasure trove actually had a sealed real-life Hell Asura inside!
Words couldn’t describe the shock Huwang Xiao was feeling. In addition, he could sense the raw energy emitting out of this Asura, powerful, violent. Its power had, at the very least, exceeded Tenth Order Saint world.
“What is this? How do Master find this Hell Asura?” Huwang Xiao mumbled a little incoherently to himself.
Or, did this mean that his Grasp had crossed to Asura Plane in Hell before this?!
Ch.415
Ren Wokuang actually crossed over to the Asura Aircraft in Hell!
Only that could explain the way the Hell Asura would be sealed within the Asura’s Gate treasure trove.
The Asura chained on the altar had noticed Huwang Xiao’s presence in the hall and a violent emotion exploded in its scarlet eyes. A menacing deep roar originated from its throat, instantly flooding the whole hall with an incredible murderous aura.
