Buried Dragon Ridge, the ancestral land of the Panlong family. ๐๐๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ณ๐๐ฒxt.๐ช๐๐
Although it was only one word different from Broken Dragon Ridge, the two were two completely different places. The Broken Dragon Ridge was a dangerous place that contained great terror, while the Buried Dragon Ridge was a blessed land filled with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
Legend had it that a long time ago, a true dragon was buried in the Buried Dragon Ridge, hence its name. There were also rumors that the Buried Dragon Ridge itself was transformed from a true dragon. It contained great opportunities and great fortunes.
However, a legend was still a legend. No matter how amazing the legends were, no one had found any opportunities or fortunes in the Buried Dragon Ridge for countless years.
As time passed, it evolved into a beautiful legend that simply did not exist.
Roughly six thousand years ago, the first ancestor of the Panlong family had taken a fancy to the excellent ley lines of the Buried Dragon Ridge, so he occupied it with powerful martial strength. Later, it became the mausoleum of the Panlong family's ancestors.
At this moment, all the members of the Panlong family gathered on the peak of the Buried Dragon Ridge.
Everyone had a solemn expression on their faces.
After thousands of years of development and construction by the Panlong family, the current Buried Dragon Ridge was quite large. Looking up, there was a majestic ancestral shrine standing in the middle of the square.
In the shrine were the memorial tablets of the Panlong family's ancestors, and behind the shrine were the ancestral graves.
"Patriarch Xuanming, the auspicious time has arrived."
Zhao Tianxiong came to the black-robed patriarch and reported respectfully.
This person was called Zhao Xuanming.
He was the most powerful patriarch of the Panlong family. His cultivation had already reached the peak of the Heaven Capture realm. Moreover, he had extraordinary encounters in his life. It was said that he had an ancient spiritual weapon.
His strength was comparable to a cultivator at the perfection stage of the Heaven Capture realm.
Everyone in the Panlong family was filled with reverence toward him. Even Zhao Hanshan was a junior in front of him.
"Are all the members of the Panlong family here?" Zhao Xuanming asked calmly.
"Reporting to the patriarch, all the members of the Panlong family who are recorded in the clan register have arrived. Not a single one is missing."
"Alright. Since that's the case, let's start the ancestral worship ceremony."
"Yes."
Zhao Tianxiong bowed.
Soon after, he came to the front of the ancestral shrine and swept his solemn gaze across the many clansmen present.
"The auspicious time has arrived. Let the ancestral worship begin!"
Thump!
As soon as he finished speaking, a solemn and majestic bell sounded in the Buried Dragon Ridge and spread across the void, reverberating in the Panlong Ancient City.
Then, a highly respected elder walked out of the crowd with a memorial in his hand and came to the front.
"Thanks to the blessings of our ancestors, the Panlong family has been established for more than 5,800 years. The family is harmonious and prosperous, and there are many children. There have been no disasters or tribulations. Today, we are gathered at the Burial Dragon Ridge to offer our sincere sacrifices."
"The Panlong family currently has a total of 2,884 members. Among them, 15 are above the Heaven Capture realm, and those above the Heavenly Cycle realm total up to โฆ"
The elder's loud voice echoed across the Buried Dragon Ridge.
This was the tradition of the Panlong family.
The so-called ancestral worship was, first, to worship the ancestors. On the other hand, it was also to announce the situation of the Panlong family to all the clansmen, including the family business, the strength of the family members, the geniuses in the family, and so on.
In short, it was more like a summary.
The elder spoke solemnly, and the clansmen below listened tentatively.
The ancestral worship ceremony was one of the few opportunities for them to understand the family situation in detail.
However, this did not include Zhao Zichen.
At this moment, he was kneeling outside the ancestral shrine with feigned piety. On the surface, he was listening to the elder's statement seriously, but in fact, his mind had already flown to the ancestral grave behind the ancestral shrine.
"Looking at the time, Qin Daofu should have arrived by now."
The corners of his mouth curled into a smile. His eyes were filled with anticipation.
Outside the ancestral shrine, Qin Daofu and the Mad Daoist had already arrived.
"Oh right, why isn't Brother Ren here yet?"
"Oh, he's probably not coming today."
"Why?"
"I sent him a message before, but he replied that he's going into seclusion to focus on breaking through, so he won't be participating in the ancestral worship ceremony and digging the ancestral graves. He just asked the two of us to do as we see fit," The Mad Daoist said without turning his head.
Huh? Breaking through at this time?
Qin Daofu was very surprised.
However, he did not think too much about it.
"Since Brother Ren can't come, then leave this matter to us. We definitely can't let go of the ancestral grave of the Panlong family. At that time, after we dig the ancestral land, I'll first expiate the sins of the Panlong family's ancestors and then send them to Brother Ren for him to collect their corpses. This way, it won't be wasted at all. It's simply perfect," Qin Daofu chuckled.
Hearing this, the Mad Daoist also revealed a strange smile.
"Alright, it's about time. Next, it is your turn to perform."
"Okay."
Qin Daofu was not hesitant when it came to serious matters.
Boom!
Outside the ancestral shrine, the elder was describing the glory of the Panlong family and its great achievements.
The clansmen present were all immersed in the speech.
However, at this moment, a ferocious figure that looked like a savage tyrannosaurus suddenly descended from the sky. He carried an ancient golden battle spear and appeared under the ancestral shrine.
"Ah!"
The battle spear in his hand swept out gently, and the elder was sent flying. He lay on the ground a thousand feet away, his survival unknown.
Qin Daofu?
Seeing this sudden change, everyone present was instantly shocked.
At the same time, Zhao Xuanming and the other patriarchs revealed ferocious expressions.
"Bastard, return my Panlong family's treasures!" Someone shouted. With that, a fierce-tempered patriarch holding a huge ancient sword in his hand and slashing at Qin Daofu with incomparable ferocity.
A powerful sword light swept across the void.
Seeing this, Zhao Xuanming and the others, who had long been waiting, also instantly unleashed his power.
"Attack together and kill Qin Daofu!" Zhao Xuanming let out a heaven-shaking roar.
Boom!
The moment he spoke, he waved his hand, and eight ferocious ancient swords instantly appeared in the air. They interweaved and formed a powerful sword array.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
The moment the sword array was activated, streaks of peerlessly ferocious sword energy wrapped around Qin Daofu with monstrous power.
The might and power that erupted from it were comparable to that of a Mystic Heaven realm cultivator.
"Geng Gold Sword Array?"
A hint of surprise flashed across Qin Daofu's eyes as he looked at the overwhelming sword energy and the monstrous sharpness it released.
He did not expect Zhao Xuanming to have such a great killing weapon in his hands. With the Geng Gold Sword Array, it was enough for the other party to kill all creatures in the Heaven Capture realm.
Unfortunately, he met him.
Thump!
Qin Daofu was not afraid of the incoming golden sword energy. He lightly shook the golden battle spear in his hand, and in an instant, a mighty power surged out and destroyed the sword energy.
"Extreme Dao ancient spiritual weapon?"
Zhao Xuanming's pupils constricted. Obviously, he was also shocked.
However, to maintain the prestige of the Panlong family, he would not hesitate even if he had to die.
Immediately, he and the remaining twelve Heaven Capture realm patriarchs of the Panlong family launched all kinds of attacks crazily.
In essence, they could not let Qin Daofu dig the ancestral graves! Similarly, Qin Daofu had no intention of digging the Panlong family's ancestral grave either. His goal was only to resist Zhao Xuanming and the other powerful patriarchs and buy time for Zhao Zichen.
Moreover, he knew the inside information that the mysterious Dongfang Bubai was waiting in the dark.
Therefore, he didn't want to get into trouble at this time.
After today, there was plenty of time and opportunity.
In fact, everything was just as Qin Daofu had expected. When the Panlong family's ancestral worship ceremony began, Lin Wudao had already come to the Buried Dragon Ridge in the disguise of Dongfang Bubai. At this moment, he was also waiting for Zhao Zichen to make his move.
As expected, seeing that Qin Daofu was already fighting with Zhao Xuanming and the others, Zhao Zichen took advantage of the chaos to find an excuse to leave the Buried Dragon Ridge.
A moment later, when he returned, he was already wearing a black cloak and a ghost mask.
Whoosh!
Taking advantage of the chaos on the Buried Dragon Ridge, Zhao Zichen did not hesitate. He carried a hoe and went straight to the ancestral graves behind the ancestral shrine.
When he arrived at his destination, he chose the tallest and largest ancestral grave in the ancestral land.
This was the tomb of the first ancestor of the Panlong family.
Boom!
Glancing coldly at the grave, Zhao Zichen raised his hand and smashed the grave with his hoe.
Immediately after, he used all his strength to dig crazily.
"As expected of a filial son!" In the darkness, Lin Wudao sighed.
Boom!
Just as Zhao Zichen was digging with all his might, a terrifying spear light suddenly tore through the void. The powerful force pierced through the ancestral shrine.
Coincidentally, Qin Daofu's power had shattered the ancestral shrine. In an instant, Zhao Zichen's figure was reflected in everyone's eyes..

"Qin Daofu, how dare you destroy our ancestral shrine!"
The ancestral shrine that the Panlong family had worshiped for thousands of years was destroyed. This scene made Zhao Xuanming and the others' eyes almost pop from glaring too hard. Their eyes revealed intense anger and hatred.
If looks could kill, Qin Daofu would have died a million times over.
However, just as they were feeling resentful over the destruction of the ancestral shrine, they suddenly saw an unforgettable scene through the ruins of the ancestral shrine.
Someone was waving a hoe and digging the ancestral grave of the Panlong family!
"Thisโฆ How could this be? Someone is actually digging our ancestral graves!"
Looking at Zhao Zichen who was waving the hoe, everyone present widened their eyes in disbelief.
Zhao Xuanming and the others were even more furious because all of them knew that the person who was digging the ancestral grave in front of them was the evil spawn of the Panlong family.
However, as the other party was wearing a cloak and a ghost mask, no one knew his identity.
"Bastard, stop!"
"Insane, simply insane! He even dares to dig up his ancestors' graves! He's simply inhumane! The Panlong family has been unlucky for eight lifetimes to have a son like you!"
"My family is unfortunate!"
Zhao Xuanming and the others let out earth-shaking roars.
All of them were extremely furious.
What?
After hearing their words, the hearts of all the clan members present churned with monstrous waves.
What was that? The person who dug up the ancestral grave was actually someone from the Panlong family?
Numerous gasps sounded from the crowd.
This news was too explosive.
They could not believe it. They didn't even dare to think about it.
Who would be so crazy as to dig up their ancestors' graves?
"Who is that person?"
Crash!
In an instant, everyone's eyes were fixed on Zhao Zichen.
"I've been discovered?"
Looking at this sudden change, Zhao Zichen was surprised at first, but then a smile appeared on his face. He did not care about the anger and hatred of the crowd. After a cold glance, he continued to wave the hoe and dig crazily.
With Qin Daofu blocking in front, no one would be able to affect him. Unfortunately, his planning was great, but the reality was not like that at all.
"Emissary Dongfang, please take action and protect the ancestral grave of the Panlong family!"
Suddenly, Zhao Xuanming and the others roared in unison.
After saying that, they knelt and prayed.
Hmm? Emissary Dongfang?
Seeing the sudden actions of Zhao Xuanming and the others, Zhao Zichen, who was frantically digging the grave, frowned.
Whoosh!
Just as he was pondering who Emissary Dongfang was, a strange figure suddenly appeared behind him out of thin air.
"Emissary Dongfang?"
Seeing that figure, Zhao Xuanming and the others were immediately overjoyed.
Compared to them, Zhao Zichen felt an unprecedented chill and uneasiness. When the voice sounded, he suddenly turned around and saw a mysterious figure.
"You areโฆ"
He was about to say something, but Lin Wudao didn't give him that chance. He raised his hand and used the Heaven-Stabilizing Spell to imprison the other party's body and soul.
Immediately after, under the expectant gazes of Zhao Xuanming and the others, Lin Wudao pulled off Zhao Zichen's black cloak and the ghost mask.
In an instant, his figure and face were reflected in everyone's eyes.
"Thisโฆ How is that possible?"
"Heโฆ He's actuallyโฆ Zhao Zichen?"
"Seventh Young Master?"
"Oh my god, it's actually him? How is this possible?"
All the members of the Panlong family were stunned on the spot. All of them stared fixedly at Zhao Zichen, who was holding a hoe, in disbelief.
They did not expect the person who dug the ancestral grave to be Zhao Zichen.
That was the Seventh Young Master!
"How could it be Zhao Zichen? He's not that kind of personโฆ" Someone mumbled absentmindedly. Obviously, he couldn't accept the reality in front of him.
This was especially so for Zhao Tianxiong.
Boom!
The moment he saw Zhao Zichen's face, he felt like a bolt of lightning had struck his head, and his mind went blank. Even his body began to tremble wildly.
"Zhaoโฆ Zhao Zichen? How is this possible? How could it be him?"
His eyes were about to pop out. Zhao Zichen was not only the Seventh Young Master of the Panlong family but also the son he was proud of. How could he be so immoral as to dig up his family's ancestral graves?
Zhao Tianxiong couldn't believe this result, much less accept it.
He wasn't the only one.
At this moment, anyone who saw Zhao Zichen was unwilling to believe that this was true.
The pride of the Panlong family and the prodigy they had high hopes for had actually betrayed their family? And now, he wanted to dig up his ancestors' graves?
Thinking of this, Zhao Tianxiong, who could not withstand the blow, immediately spat out a large mouthful of blood in hatred. His face was ashen.
"Clan leader!"
"Clan leader!"
In an instant, many clansmen surrounded Zhao Tianxiong with anxious and worried expressions.
Only Zhao Zichen had a calm expression.
In fact, the corners of his mouth curled up into a smile, seemingly very satisfied with this result. ๐ต๐ธ๐๐พ๐ฟ๐๐ขxt.๐๐ถ๐
"Zhao Zichen, you damned bastard! That's the grave of your ancestors! Has your conscience been eaten by dogs? You even dare to dig up your ancestors' graves? Are you still human?"
At this moment, Zhao Hanshan's frenzied roar came from the front of the crowd. His eyes were filled with endless anger and hatred, and at the same time, endless pain.
No matter how he thought about it, he never thought that the person who dug the ancestral grave was the Seventh Young Master, Zhao Zichen. "Isn't it just digging the ancestral graves? Is it worth making a fuss about?
Since you've found out today, I might as well lay my cards on the table. You didn't see wrongly, I am indeed the Seventh Young Master Zhao Zichen. Today, I came here with only one purpose, and that is to dig the ancestral graves. As for why? That's because doing so can make me stronger," Zhao Zichen said calmly.
Digging the ancestral graves could make him stronger? What kind of logic was this?
Everyone became even more resentful.
"Other than digging up the ancestral graves, were you also the mastermind behind the kidnap of Zhao Qinlong and Qi Qingyu, as well as the robbery of the Panlong family's treasury with Qin Daofu?" Zhao Xuanming questioned. In response, Zhao Zichen nodded.
"That's right. I was the one who planned all of this. To be honest, according to my plan, I wanted to kidnap Qi Qingyu and sell her off. At that time, you and the Beihai family will definitely redeem her with money. This way, the two families will lose their dignity. Unfortunately, the plan didn't go as planned since Boss Qin let Zhao Qinlong and Qi Qingyu go. In this case, to become stronger, I can only dig up the ancestral graves. The matter is that simple," He said casually.
Boom!
Hearing this, Zhao Tianxiong, who was already unable to withstand the blow, felt a bolt from the blue again. The humiliation and hatred in his heart instantly rose to the extreme.
"Unfilial sonโฆ Unfilial son!"
Suddenly, he roared at the sky with all his might.
"Pu!"
Then, he spat out a large mouthful of blood and died.
He had been angered to death!

"Clan leader!"
"Clan leader!"
Everything happened in the blink of an eye.
Seeing that Zhao Tianxiong had been angered to death, the members of the Panlong family who had gathered turned pale with fright. Their faces could not help but reveal intense grief.
They looked at Zhao Zichen with unprecedented hatred.
The Panlong family's current situation was all thanks to Zhao Zichen.
"Zhao Zichen, I curse you to die a horrible death!"
In the crowd, some clansmen roared ferociously.
"Vile creature! The Panlong family has been passed down for more than five thousand years! How could we have produced a damned vile creature like you? The family is unfortunate! This is our misfortune!" ๐ต๐ธ๐๐พ๐ฟ๐๐ขxt.๐๐ถ๐
"Emissary Dongfang, please let us kill Zhao Zichen and clean up the mess!"
"If this person doesn't die, the Zhao family will never have a day of peace!"
At this moment, the crowd was furious.
All the clansmen present had bloodshot eyes. They wished they could cut Zhao Zichen into pieces and grind his bones into ashes.
Thump!
Thump!
Thump!
Under the lead of Zhao Xuanming and the other ancestors, they knelt and kowtowed to Lin Wudao, all just to kill Zhao Zichen.
Lin Wudao did not agree to their request immediately, because Zhao Zichen could not die yet.
"This is the grudge of your Panlong family. It has nothing to do with me. I came here today to protect your ancestral graves according to the deal. As for the rest, you can do as you please."
As he spoke, Lin Wudao slapped Zhao Zichen's body, causing him to fly instantly toward Zhao Xuanming and the others.
Seeing this, elders with powerful cultivation immediately flew up from the crowd and charged toward Zhao Zichen fiercely.
However, just as their attacks were about to land on Zhao Zichen, a terrifying hand suddenly descended from the sky and grabbed the latter.
The one who made a move was Qin Daofu.
"Let's go!"
After taking a deep look at Lin Wudao, Qin Daofu took Zhao Zichen and disappeared without any hesitation.
"Damn it!"
"Bloody Qin Daofu, the Panlong family is irreconcilable with you!"
"Dammit, we let that beast escape again!"
Seeing Zhao Zichen being rescued by Qin Daofu, everyone's eyes were filled with hatred.
The hatred seeped into their bones.
Soon after, they looked at Lin Wudao expectantly.
"Emissary Dongfang, can you help us kill Zhao Zichen?" Zhao Xuanming begged.
"Sure. If you are able to take out the corpses of ten Mystic Heaven realm powerhouses, I will help you kill Zhao Zichen."
What was that? Ten Mystic Heaven realm powerhouses' corpses?
Hearing this, everyone sucked in a cold breath.
All the patriarchs of the Panlong family had been mobilized just to gather ten bodies of the Heaven Capture realm. With their strength, they couldn't even gather one Mystic Heaven realm corpse, let alone ten.
"Emissary Dongfang, can you show us mercy and allow us to gather the corpses of ten Mystic Heaven realm powerhouse for you in the future?"
"No. I don't do things on credit. Since you can't take out ten Mystic Heaven realm corpses, I can't help you. After today, the deal between us will be considered complete."
After saying that, Lin Wudao ignored the frantic pleas and despair of Zhao Xuanming and the others. He simply sat cross-legged in front of the ancestral shrine and quietly cultivated.
They wanted him to do things without any benefits? How could there be such a good thing in the world?
"Sighโฆ The heavens are not blessing the Panlong family."
Seeing that Lin Wudao was unwilling to help, Zhao Xuanming and the others were both indignant and filled with endless sadness and helplessness.
They had never thought that an ancient aristocratic family with a heritage of more than five thousand years would fall into such a miserable situation today. "Men, go find a better place to bury Zhao Tianxiong."
Zhao Xuanming waved his hand weakly.
Then, he dragged his old and sorrowful body and staggered out of the Buried Dragon Ridge.
The rest of the clan members present also looked as if they had just lost their parents. Their eyes were filled with confusion.
After today, God knows where their future will lead, and God knows what kind of life and fate awaits them.
Lin Wudao had no sympathy or pity for the Panlong family.
A day later, after the transaction was over, he left the Buried Dragon Ridge.
Myth Inn.
Boom!
With a wave of his hand, Lin Wudao took out the 18 mutated beast corpses he had obtained from the Panlong family and threw them all into the Corpse-refining Furnace.
After two days, he finally managed to refine all the mutant beast corpses. After extracting a ten-thousandth of their essence, his cultivation broke through to the mid-stage of the Heavenly Cycle realm.
Lin Wudao wasn't too happy about this result, but he wasn't too disappointed either.
Everything was within his expectations.
"Someone."
After calling out softly, Yin Siming and Li Zangtian entered the room.
"How long have I been in seclusion?"
"Reporting to the City Lord, it has been exactly three days."
"I see."
Lin Wudao nodded.
According to their previous plan, the Mad Daoist and Qin Daofu would have already dug up the Panlong family's ancestral grave in these two days.
"I wonder what kind of harvest we will get this time?"
A trace of anticipation flashed across his eyes.
"Oh right, during these few days when I was in seclusion, did anything major happen in the ancient city of Panlong?"
"Yes, yes, there is. City Lord, on the day that you went into seclusion, the Seventh Young Master of the Panlong family, Zhao Zichen, along with Qin Daofu of the Wicked Trio, attacked the Buried Dragon Ridge. They wanted to dig the ancestral graves of the Panlong family. However, at the last moment, because the Panlong family invited Dongfang Bubai, Zhao Zichen and the others did not succeed. That being said, their clan leader, Zhao Tianxiong, was angered to death," Yin Siming bowed and replied.
Naturally, Lin Wudao knew all of this.
"What happened after that? Did Zhao Zichen, Qin Daofu, and the others continue to dig the Panlong family's ancestral grave?"
"Thisโฆ No. There has been no activity on the Buried Dragon Ridge since they failed that day."
Hmm? They didn't take any action?
Hearing this, Lin Wudao couldn't help but feel surprised.
With his understanding of the Mad Daoist, it was impossible for him not to be tempted by the ancestral grave of the Panlong family.
"Could it be that there was an accident?"
Thinking of this, he planned to find the Mad Daoist and the others later to see what was going on.
"By the way, City Lord, in the past few days, many major factions have come to the Panlong Ancient City. I don't know if it's because of Dongfang Bubai or because of the Taicang Ancestral Land in the Myriad Great Mountain Range. I saw that even the Third Crown Prince of the Xia Dynasty, Yan Wuque, had come. Moreover, he has a guardian."
At this moment, Yin Siming's voice sounded again.
Yan Wuque, the Third Crown Prince of the Xia Dynasty?
Lin Wudao was confused. He was not familiar with this person. "City Lord, there are a total of three Crown Princes in the Xia Dynasty. They are the First Crown Prince Yan Lingxiao, the Second Crown Prince Yan Wuheng, and the Third Crown Prince Yan Wuque. These three are the most outstanding princes besides the Eldest Princess, Yan Huihuang. In the future, the throne of the Xia Dynasty will be inherited by one of them."
"The Third Crown Prince Yan Wuque is extremely talented and has an extraordinary aptitude bone. He has already reached the Heavenly Nirvana realm. His guardian is at least in the Divine Mansion realm. This time around, they suddenly came to the Panlong Ancient City. I'm worried that they are also here for the Seal of All Beings," Yin Siming said in a deep voice.
Lin Wudao narrowed his eyes.
"Pay close attention to them for now. If that Yan Wuque really dares to fight with us for the Seal of All Beings, then I don't mind sending him to his death."
"Yes, sir."
Yin Siming nodded respectfully.
After that, Lin Wudao gave some instructions before putting on the Heaven Evasion Cloak and the Mask of the Heavens. He then went to Qin Daofu's room. At this moment, the Mad Daoist, Qin Daofu, and Zhao Zichen were all there. Moreover, they seemed to be discussing something..

"Brother Ren is here?"
The Mad Daoist and Qin Daofu both smiled when they saw Lin Wudao.
After all, the three of them were in cahoots.
"I heard that in these two days, you didn't attack the ancestral grave of the Panlong family?"
"That's right. The three of us were still discussing this matter just now," The Mad Daoist nodded with a smile.
As he spoke, he handed Lin Wudao a cup of tea.
"Originally, Qin Daofu and I were prepared to take action on the second day of the ancestral worship ceremony. However, Seventh Young Master said that he has a bold idea that can earn more. So, we didn't do anything," The Mad Daoist explained.
A bold idea?
Hearing this, Lin Wudao looked at Zhao Zichen in puzzlement.
"Seventh Young Master, since you were the one who brought this up, you should explain it to Brother Ren."
"Alright," Zhao Zichen nodded.
"It's like this. I feel that the benefits that can be obtained by simply digging the ancestral grave of the Panlong family are too small. I have a bold idea. Since we're going to do it, let's do it big. As far as I know, the third prince of the Grand Xia Dynasty, Yan Wuque, and his guardian have arrived at the Panlong Ancient City. I plan to use the ancestral grave of the Panlong family and the Paramita Divine Flower to kill them and the Heishan Old Demon. Whether it's Yan Wuque's guardian or the Heishan Old Demon, one of the ten great Demon Kings, they are both powerful existences in the Divine Mansion Realm. Wouldn't it be better if we could kill them? We're going to dig the ancestral graves anyway. Why don't we go for a bigger plan?" Zhao Zichen said excitedly.
Hmm? Kill the Heishan Old Demon and Yan Wuque's guardian?
Lin Wudao was shocked.
He did not expect Zhao Zichen to be so mad that he even dared to have designs on Divine Mansion realm cultivators.
"How confident are you?"
"Well, I can't guarantee. I just made a bold plan. As for whether this plan will succeed, it will depend on your strength. If the three of you can deal with the Divine Mansion realm powerhouses, then it will definitely succeed," Zhao Zichen said in a deep voice.
Divine Mansion realm?
Lin Wudao fell into deep thought.
"Actually, we can make the Heishan Old Demon and Yan Wuque's guardian both be injured. This is my plan. Next, we'll go to the Myriad Great Mountain Range and steal the Paramita Divine Flower. Then, I'll put it in the ancestral grave of the Panlong family. Lastly, I'll secretly tell this news to Yan Wuque and the Heishan Old Demon."
"As far as I know, Yan Wuque has already cultivated to the perfection stage of the Nirvana Heavenly realm. He's not far from the Divine Mansion realm. How can he resist the Paramita Divine Flower, a treasure that can open up the Divine Mansion? When the time comes, they will definitely go and dig the grave. As for the Heishan Old Demon, there's no room for doubt. The Paramita Divine Flower is his lifeblood. As long as he learns where the Paramita Divine Flower is, he will definitely come. Once they fight, our chance will come. At that time, wouldn't it be great to capture all of them in one fell swoop?"
Zhao Zichen's face was filled with madness.
After saying that, he chuckled sinisterly.
After hearing his plan, Lin Wudao calculated the feasibility in his heart.
"Brother Ren, do you think we can do it?"
"Oh, this plan is indeed very bold. It can even be said to be mad. After all, there is a huge gap between our current strength and that of a Divine Mansion realm cultivator. If we're not careful, we might die without a burial place. That being said, although it's a little dangerous, as long as the operation is pulled off well, there's still a possibility of success. I think we can give it a try," Lin Wudao muttered.
"Brother Ren is domineering. Qin Daofu and I have the same thoughts. Since we're going to do it, let's make it big. Whether it works or not, we'll just try it first. If it really doesn't work, we can just dig the ancestral graves then," The Mad Daoist praised.
Seeing that they all agreed to this suggestion, Zhao Zichen, who was at the side, also smiled.
If this matter succeeded, it would be extremely beneficial to him.
"I heard that there are a total of ten Demon Kings in the Myriad Great Mountain Range. Why don't we trap the other nine Demon Kings as well? I think they will be tempted by a peerless divine item like the Paramita Divine Flower, right?"
At this moment, Qin Daofu rubbed his hands and smiled.
Hearing this, Zhao Zichen shook his head.
"It's not good to have too many people. The plan this time is all about secrecy. After we kill the Heishan Old Demon and the others, we can plan to kill the other Demon Kings and the Divine Mansion realm powerhouses. In the future, we can do the same thing a few more times. However, before that, we must obtain the Paramita Divine Flower," Zhao Zichen said in a low voice.
As he spoke, he looked at Lin Wudao, obviously asking for the latter's opinion.
"I have no objections."
"Alright, then let's do it. Let's immediately head to the Myriad Great Mountain Rangeโฆ"
After that, they discussed the specific details again. Then, they steered a spiritual boat and left the Panlong Ancient City at lightning speed, heading straight for the Myriad Great Mountain Range.
The Myriad Great Mountain Range was vast and boundless.
Its territory occupied more than half of Jiuzhou, and it contained many ancient secrets, as well as various opportunities and fortunes.
Since ancient times, many cultivators had gone to seek the secrets of the place.
"Young Master Zhao, can you tell us about the Heishan Old Demon?"
Having nothing to do, the Mad Daoist began to ask Zhao Zichen for information.
Zhao Zichen didn't hide anything and immediately told him everything he knew.
"The Heishan Old Demon is called Hu Shatian. His original form is a demonic tiger, and the bloodline of an ancient mutant beast flows in its body. After three thousand years of cultivation, he finally passed the Nirvana tribulation and stepped into the Divine Mansion realm. Henceforth, Hu Shatian cultivated a human body. After another thousand years, Hu Shatian found an opportunity and fortune in the Myriad Great Mountain Range. With that, his cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds, and he finally reached the perfection stage of the Divine Mansion realm. "
"Later, after killing one of the previous Demon Kings, he became the new Demon King. Currently, Hu Shatian has already lived for more than eight thousand years. He is the strongest and the one who has lived the longest among the ten great Demon Kings. In addition, his training ground is in the Heifeng Mountain, so he is called the Heishan Old Demon. The Heishan Old Demon has the bloodline of an ancient mutant, so he was born with divine strength. His combat strength is infinitely close to the Divine Strength Realm. The weapon he uses is the Seven Kills Demonic Blade. "
"About 3,000 years ago, the Heishan Old Demon obtained the seed of a Paramita Divine Flower by chance. From then on, he carefully nurtured it and watered it with his own demon blood. After three thousand years of growth, the Paramita Divine Flower is finally about to blossom. This time, the Heishan Old Demon is going to use the power of the Paramita Divine Flower to break through the shackles of the Divine Mansion realm and step into the Divine Strength realm, thus becoming a Demon Emperor," Zhao Zichen said.
Lin Wudao and the other two listened attentively to him.
"It seems that Young Master Zhao has an extremely deep understanding of the Heishan Old Demon," The Mad Daoist teased meaningfully.
Hearing this, Zhao Zichen smiled faintly.
"I'm just making a living. Although I don't have remarkable methods and earth-shattering strength like the three of you, I can naturally hear some interesting things. For example, the location of various secret realms and the methods to open them. It is still somewhat useful in this cruel world. Keke."
Hmm? Did he hear all this? Other than that, what else could he hear?
As Zhao Zichen finished speaking, Lin Wudao, the Mad Daoist, and Qin Daofu all began to wonder in their hearts.
They were getting more and more curious about this person.
"In that case, did Young Master Zhao also hear about the place where Demon Emperor Lietian lay to rest?"
"Heh, it's just a coincidence," Zhao Zichen didn't refute, but admitted it openly.
"Looks like Young Master Zhao has quite the future," The Mad Daoist praised. Then, the three of them exchanged glances and did not speak again. After spending more than half a day, they stepped into the Myriad Great Mountain Range. Relying on the magical invisibility jade talisman, they avoided many powerful ferocious beasts along the way.
Finally, at noon the next day, they arrived at Heishan Mountain where the Heishan Old Demon was..๐๐ถ๐๐ข๐๐๐ขxt.๐ธ๐๐

As the lair of the Heishan Old Demon, Heifeng Mountain was naturally heavily guarded.
Hmmโฆ
When Lin Wudao and the other three arrived, they looked up and saw a soaring demonic aura being emitted from Heifeng Mountain in the distance, forming waves of dense black wind that seemed to have the power to smoke the sky. Among them, there was no lack of powerful existences in the Divine Mansion realm.
Seeing this, everyone's expression turned solemn.
"The lair of the Heishan Old Demon is indeed extraordinary. Even a powerhouse of the Divine Mansion realm will die without a burial place if he wants to barge in. Old lunatic, can your invisibility jade talisman block the detection of a Divine Mansion realm powerhouse?" Qin Daofu asked the Mad Daoist beside him in a low voice.
Hearing this, The Mad Daoist shook his head.
"No. The invisibility jade talismans I've made so far can only conceal its users from the detection and senses of Heaven Manipulation realm powerhouses at best. They are ineffective once the other party surpasses the Heaven Manipulation realm. If we charge in just like this, we will definitely be discovered. At that time, if we alert the enemy and attract the attention of the Heishan Old Demon, all our efforts will be in vain."
The Mad Daoist frowned.
Although Zhao Zichen's plan sounded simple, it was very difficult to carry it out.
For a moment, he didn't have any good ideas.
On the other hand, Lin Wudao was as calm as ever.
"Is the Heishan Old Demon in seclusion on Heifeng Mountain?" He asked Zhao Zichen.
"No. The Heishan Old Demon is a cunning old fox. He is also rried that he will be attacked by the other Demon Kings when he breaks through in seclusion. Therefore, his seclusion place is not on Heifeng Mountain. It's in the Yingyue Lake behind Heifeng Mountain. There is an ancient and abandoned secret realm in Yingyue Lake. It was later discovered by the Heishan Old Demon and became his secret training ground," Zhao Zichen replied in a low voice.
Lin Wudao nodded.
Following this, he used God's Spiritual Eye to scan the void and found a terrifying demonic aura behind Heifeng Mountain. It was much stronger than the other demonic beasts in Heifeng Mountain.
"You guys wait here or leave the periphery of the Heifeng Mountain. I'll go to Yingyue Lake alone and steal the Paramita Divine Flower. Once I succeed, I will naturally come and look for you."
After saying that, Lin Wu did not wait for them to react before he instantly disappeared from where he was.
Seeing this, the Mad Daoist, Qin Daofu, and Zhao Zichen were all surprised.
"Let's go, let's leave quickly! We'll go outside to receive him. Regardless of whether Brother Ren can snatch the Paramita Divine Flower or not, the Heishan Old Demon will definitely be furious. At that time, once he discovers us, it will be dangerous," The Mad Daoist said seriously.
"But Brother Ren, heโฆ"
"Don't worry. Brother Ren is very resourceful. Since he dares to get close to the Heishan Old Demon, he must be confident. If we continue to stay here, we will become his burden. Let's go outside and receive him."
Qin Daofu and Zhao Zichen did not refute the Mad Daoist's words.
Immediately, the three of them left the Heifeng Mountain at their fastest speed and headed straight for the outermost area of the Myriad Great Mountain Range.
At the same time, Lin Wudao followed the soaring demonic aura and successfully arrived at Yingyue Lake.
The environment here was strange and quiet. There was no trace of any demonic beasts in the surrounding space. It was a completely desolate and decaying scene.
No one would have thought that the real lair of the Heishan Old Demon was under this ordinary lake.
Whoosh!
After carefully examining it, Lin Wudao immediately formed a doppelganger through the Origin Stone, and his main body entered the deepest part of the endless void. Then, he entered Yingyue Lake as his doppelganger.
Not long after, he reached the bottom of the lake.
There was not a single ray of sunlight here. Everything that entered his eyes was dark and cold.
Fortunately, Lin Wudao had God's Spiritual Eye, so he could clearly see what was happening at the bottom of the lake. The lair of the Heishan Old Demon was hidden behind a stone wall right in front.
Inside was a secret realm. A special secret technique was required to enter.
However, Lin Wudao did not have such concerns. The doppelganger formed by the Origin Stone could pass through the void and all obstacles. How could a mere stone wall block it?
Whoosh!
He took a step forward and passed through the stone wall without anyone noticing.
As expected, behind the stone wall, there was another world.
When Lin Wudao entered the secret realm, he saw a huge space.
Not only were there palaces, pavilions, and domes but also dense heaven and earth spiritual energy. There were also all kinds of rare spiritual herbs growing in the herb garden opened up behind.
At this moment, The Heishan Old Demon was cultivating in a magnificent hall.
Vaguely, Lin Wudao even saw traces of mysterious light flickering. Moreover, it was accompanied by a strange medicinal fragrance that was being emitted.
"This Heishan Old Demon really knows how to enjoy life. To think he created such a blessed grotto-heaven at the bottom of Yingyue Lake," Lin Wudao couldn't help but praise the surroundings. ๐ต๐ธ๐๐พ๐ฟ๐๐ขxt.๐๐ถ๐
After that, he carefully arrived at the main hall.
What greeted his eyes first was a middle-aged man in black with a square face and a dignified aura. His entire body emitted an extremely powerful aura.
As demon cultivators, as long as they cultivated to the Divine Mansion realm, they could form a human body.
The Heishan Old Demon was the oldest and most powerful Demon King in the Myriad Great Mountain Range. His cultivation had reached the peak of the Divine Mansion realm, infinitely close to the Divine Strength realm.
At this moment, he was only one step away from breaking his shackles and converting his demonic power into divine power. With that, he could advance to the Divine Strength realm and become a Demon emperor.
At that time, all the demons in the Myriad Great Mountain Range would be under his command!
The source of his hope was a strange plant in front of him that was blood-red and had no branches or leaves.
[Name: Paramita Divine Flower]
[Level: Divine item]
[Quality: Highest]
[Description: Born from bathing in true blood. The flower has five petals.
Consuming one petal can expand the Divine Mansion by ten times.]
[Note: Each living being can only consume one petal of the Paramita Divine Flower.]
"As expected of a Heaven and Earth divine item that can only be encountered by chance."
Lin Wudao's eyes lit up.
The heaven-defying effects of the Paramita Divine Flower were irresistible to any cultivator in the Divine Mansion realm in the world. Cultivators in the Divine Mansion realm continuously expanded their Divine Mansion so that it could accommodate more power. The larger the Divine Mansion, the more power it could contain, and one's future potential would also be greater.
If the Heishan Old Demon did swallow the Paramita Divine Flower, his Divine Mansion would expand tenfold, which was equivalent to a huge increase in his aptitude and potential. At that time, there was a high chance that he could break through the shackles and enter the Divine Strength realm, becoming a demon emperor.
However, now that Lin Wudao had discovered the flower as well, the other party would be hopeless for the time being.
Whoosh! Just as Lin Wudao was marveling at the heaven-defying effects of the Paramita Divine Flower, the originally silent Paramita Divine Flower suddenly blossomed with a dazzling scarlet divine light.
This sudden movement also woke up the Heishan Old Demon who was cultivating.
In an instant, two pairs of eyes simultaneously focused on the Paramita Divine Flower.
At this moment, Lin Wudao could clearly see that the Heishan Old Demon's breathing had become heavy and rapid. The latter's deep and sharp eyes were bursting with unprecedented anticipation and desire.
"It's been three thousand years since I've been waiting for the Paramita Divine Lily to bloom! Hahaha!"
In his excitement, the Heishan Old Demon laughed wildly. His voice was filled with boundless excitement and surprise.
Lin Wudao did not care about the Heishan Old Demon's reaction.
At this moment, all of his attention was focused on the Paramita Divine Flower.
Whoosh!
As time passed, the divine light of the Paramita Divine Flower became increasingly intense, almost illuminating the entire secret realm.
About fifteen minutes later, when the divine light bloomed to the extreme, the Paramita Divine Flower, which had been silent, finally bloomed like a lotus flower. There were a total of five petals, all the color of blood. Furthermore, when the flower bloomed, an indescribable fragrance swept out like a tidal wave, causing Lin Wudao's spirit to be greatly roused.
Similarly, the Heishan Old Demon was also excited.
"With this divine item, it is only a matter of time before I become a Demon Emperor." After saying that, the Heishan Old Demon was about to reach out and pluck the Paramita Divine Flower in front of him to break his shackles. However, the matters didn't go as he wished.
Just as the Heishan Old Demon's palm touched the Paramita Divine Flower, a mysterious hand suddenly reached out from the void and snatched the Paramita Divine Flower away before he could. For a moment, the Heishan Old Demon was stunned on the spot..

The Paramita Divine Flower was stolen?
Looking at the empty ground in front of him, the Heishan Old Demon's outstretched hand froze in place instantly, and his deep face revealed a look of disbelief.
He only came back to his senses after a few moments, and a monstrous rage and killing intent burst out from his ferocious eyes.
"Who is it? Who dares to snatch my Paramita Divine Flower?!"
In the spacious secret realm, the Heishan Old Demon let out a deafening roar. Waves of terrifying killing intent swept out like a flood.
Immediately after, he bounced up, frantically searching the secret realm.
The Paramita Divine Flower was his lifeblood. It was his last hope to break through the shackles and advance to the Divine Strength realm.
For this, he had waited for three thousand years and even watered the flower with his demon blood, all for the day it matured.
However, he did not expect someone to snatch the Paramita Divine Flower away from under his nose at this critical moment.
This simply couldn't be tolerated!
Boom!
The Heishan Old Demon rushed out of Yingyue Lake at the fastest speed with boundless anger and soaring killing intent. His sharp eyes swept across the void.
"Damn it! Damn it! Who stole my Paramita Divine Flower? Who was it?" Boom!
Boom! Boom!
After a fruitless search, the Heishan Old Demon immediately started venting his anger.
Under his terrifying power, the surrounding mountains were instantly cut in half with Heifeng Mountain as the center. Large areas of the dense forest were destroyed.
Everything within a radius of 10,000 feet had been reduced to ruins.
Many demonic beasts on Heifeng Mountain were so frightened that they trembled.
The anger of the Heishan Old Demon also attracted the attention of the other nine Demon Kings of the Great Myriad Mountain Range.
"The Paramita Divine Flower of the Heishan Old Demon was stolen?"
Doomsday Mountain Range.
In a resplendent palace, the Inferno Demon King raised a cup of fine wine and looked into the distance. A pleasantly surprised smile appeared on his face.
As the Demon Kings of the Great Myriad Mountain Range, they naturally did not want to see the Heishan Old Demon break through to the Divine Strength realm.
Otherwise, they would all be enslaved by the Heishan Old Demon.
Now, the Paramita Divine Flower that the Heishan Old Demon relied on to break through had been snatched away, and his path to the breakthrough was completely cut off.
This was naturally a joyous occasion for the Inferno Demon King.
He couldn't break through, so he didn't want to see others break through either.
"Men! Pass down my order. I'm in a good mood today. Hold a banquet in the Doomsday Mountain Range that will last for ten days and ten nights! Hahaha!" Laughter filled with joy came from the palace.
Other than the Inferno Demon King of Doomsday Mountain Range, the other Demon Kings of the Great Myriad Mountain Range also smiled.
The Heishan Old Demon had failed, so they were in a good mood.
"Hey, old thing, you've had your day?" The Moonhowl Demon King sneered.
"Heishan Old Demon, your luck isn't that good, huh? Three thousand years of waiting and planning have all gone to waste. This is a joyous occasion! I must drink three hundred cups to my heart's content. Hahaha!"
The Violent Ape Demon King held a large wine jar and laughed loudly.
In the future, they had one less threat!
He could finally put down the huge rock in his heart.
Similar things happened in the territories of other Demon Kings.
In short, at this moment, everyone in the Great Myriad Mountain Range was happy except for the Heishan Old Demon.
This naturally included the Mad Daoist and the others.
When they heard the heaven-shaking roars coming from Heifeng Mountain, the Mad Daoist, Qin Daofu, and Zhao Zichen all broke into smiles.
"Looks like Brother Ren has succeeded. We cannot stay here for long. Let's quickly leave."
As they spoke, the three of them immediately left the Great Myriad Mountain Range with the help of the invisibility jade talisman.
Whoosh!
Just as they left, an extremely ferocious figure suddenly appeared where they had been. In his hand was a terrifying demonic blade.
It was the Heishan Old Demon.
"Human aura? For it to appear around Heifeng Mountain at this time, it must be related to the Paramita Divine Flower. When I catch you, I will definitely swallow you alive!"
As soon as he finished speaking, with his strong sense of smell, the Heishan Old Demon immediately followed the aura of the Mad Daoist and the others and chased after them crazily.
"Shit! The Heishan Old Demon is coming!"
Just as they left Heifeng Mountain's territory, the Mad Daoist's expression changed drastically.
At this moment, he felt an extremely terrifying aura heading toward them.
It was obvious that it was the Heishan Old Demon.
As expected, about ten breaths later, under Qin Daofu and Zhao Zichen's shocked gazes, a middle-aged man carrying a terrifying demonic saber and emitting a boundless demonic aura entered their sight.
"Damn it, why is the Heishan Old Demon chasing after us?" Qin Daofu exclaimed.
Originally, he thought that everything would be fine once they left Heifeng Mountain's territory.
Who knew that the Heishan Old Demon would still discover them?
This caused Qin Daofu to turn pale with fright.
Similarly, Zhao Zichen's expression turned extremely grave.
"The Heishan Old Demon is coming. What should we do?" He asked anxiously. ๐๐ถ๐๐ข๐๐๐ขxt.๐ธ๐๐
Hearing this, the Mad Daoist's eyes turned solemn.
"There's no other way for the time being. The three of us will leave separately and meet up at the Panlong Ancient City."
"Alright."
Qin Daofu naturally had no objections to the Mad Daoist's suggestion.
Whoosh!
Following this, he waved his hand, and the ancient and mysterious Netherworld Scroll instantly appeared under his feet. The aura of the Netherworld surged.
Soon after, Qin Daofu stepped on the Netherworld Scroll and instantly turned into a stream of light, disappearing from his spot.
"Great Heaven Evasion Technique!"
After Qin Daofu left, the Mad Daoist immediately formed a seal.
Whoosh!
With that, a wisp of black light bloomed under his feet. Then, his entire body directly disappeared into the endless void and disappeared from where he was.
Not even a trace of his aura was left behind.
In an instant, only Zhao Zichen was left. "F*ck! This group of damned cunning old foxes!"
Zhao Zichen's expression was extremely ugly.
"You audacious thief! Return my Paramita Divine Flower!"
The ferocious roar of the Heishan Old Demon suddenly sounded behind him. Zhao Zichen turned his head and was instantly scared out of his wits.
At this moment, the Heishan Old Demon had already arrived behind him. The other party's terrifying demonic palm was almost about to land on his body.
"Sin Substitute!"
"Great Paramita Technique!"
Seeing that he was about to be caught by the Heishan Old Demon, Zhao Zichen could not be bothered to hide his abilities at this critical moment. As he chanted, a substitute appeared.
As for his original body, it strangely disappeared from where it was.
Whoosh!
When he reappeared, he had already left the Great Myriad Mountain Range.
At the same time, in the Great Myriad Mountain Range, the Heishan Old Demon fiercely struck Zhao Zichen with his palm. He wanted to suppress the latter and interrogate him about the whereabouts of the Paramita Divine Flower.
Bang!
However, when his palm landed on "Zhao Zichen's" body, the latter dissipated in an instant like a wisp of smoke.
"A substitute?" Looking at Zhao Zichen, who had disappeared in his hands, the Heishan Old Demon felt humiliated like never before.
Boundless hatred erupted from the bottom of his heart.
"Damned humans, I will definitely grind your bones and scatter your ashes!"
His ferocious roar shook the entire Great Myriad Mountain Range. After saying that, with boundless anger and hatred, the Heishan Old Demon brandished the Seven Slaughter Demonic Blade in his hand and chased to the nearest Panlong Ancient City.
Since he had lost the aura of the Mad Daoist and the others, he could only try his luck at the Panlong Ancient City.
The Mad Daoist and the others could imagine the other party's monstrous anger and killing intent.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
With the help of the mysterious Netherworld Scroll and the Great Heaven Evasion Technique, Qin Daofu and the Mad Daoist returned to the Myth Inn one after another.
When they stepped into the room, they saw that Lin Wudao was already leisurely sipping tea..

"Brother Ren, you're back?"
When they saw Lin Wudao, the Mad Daoist and Qin Daofu immediately revealed brilliant smiles.
This meant that the Paramita Divine Flower had already been obtained.
"Brother Ren, quickly take out the Paramita Divine Flower and let me broaden my horizons. I have never seen such a rare divine item before," the Mad Daoist said impatiently.
Similarly, Qin Daofu, who was at the side, also kept rubbing his palms, his eyes filled with endless anticipation.
"Ha!"
Seeing their expressions, Lin Wudao didn't hesitate. With a wave of his hand, the Paramita Divine Flower appeared on the table in front of him. It was as red as blood and emitted boundless divine light.
At a glance, it was simply a treasure of the world.
"What a treasure!" The Mad Daoist's eyes widened as he praised.
"This thing should be worth a lot of spiritual stones, right?" Qin Daofu also gulped.
His eyes never left the Paramita Divine Flower.
"Tsk! Qin Daofu, can't you be better than that? Can't you see anything else other than treasures and spiritual stones? The Paramita Divine Flower is a rare peerless divine item. Even the Great Gods above the True God realm would drool at the sight of it, let alone the powerhouses of the ten divine minor realms. How can this thing be measured by a low-quality item like spiritual stones? Only divine stones are worthy of its identity and valueโฆ" ๐ต๐ธ๐๐พ๐ฟ๐๐ขxt.๐๐ถ๐
The Mad Daoist glared and said.
Divine stones?
Hearing this, Qin Daofu was stunned at first, but then he nodded heavily.
"You're right. Such a peerless divine item should only be measured with at least divine stones!"
As he spoke, he and the Mad Daoist carefully sized the flower up, their eyes filled with possessiveness.
"By the way, where's Zhao Zichen?"
At this moment, Lin Wudao finally remembered Zhao Zichen and asked curiously.
"Oh, I'm not too sure. Just now in the Myriad Great Mountain Range, we were discovered by the irrational Heishan Old Demon and almost captured by him. In that moment of danger, the three of us split up and each left on our own. Therefore, I do not know how Zhao Zichen is doing either."
The Mad Daoist shook his head.
He tdi'dn reac abtou Zaho 'ieZcshn ilef or death at .all Rather, it was even better if he died. This way, the Paramita Divine Flower would belong to them.
"I don't think Zhao Zichen is a short-lived person. Since that kid can hear the news of all kinds of secret realms, he must not be a simple person. We can take this opportunity to see how capable that kid is. If he can escape from the clutches of the Heishan Old Demon, then we have to be careful when we cooperate with him in the future. I feel that this brat is a scourge," Qin Daofu smacked his lips and said.

"Yes," Zhao Zichen replied indifferently with a cold expression.
"Young Master Zhao, please don't take offense. We left in a hurry, but it was because we believe in your methods and abilities. Since you dare to have designs on the Paramita Divine Flower, you must have confidence in your abilities. Now it seems that our guess was right. Young Master Zhao, you are indeed extraordinary," The Mad Daoist praised.
Zaoh hcnize iegnord sih risa.ep At this moment, his gaze had long been drawn to the Paramita Divine Flower on the table.
"Brother Ren's methods are indeed extraordinary."
Saynig t,tha Zhao hZeicn adecher tuo to grab the aitrPmaa einviD rFe.low However, as he stretched out his hand, Lin Wudao kept the Paramita Divine Flower.
"Where's the map of the Demon Emperor's resting place?"
His cold voice came from under the cloak.
Hearing this, Zhao Zichen's eyes flashed with displeasure, but then he smiled.
"Brother Ren, don't worry. I won't go back on my word."
As he spoke, with a flip of his palm, an ancient yellow paper appeared in his hand and he handed it to Lin Wudao.
Lin Wudao's God's Spiritual Eye swept across the item.
Very quickly, he noticed something strange.
[Name: Demon Emperor Scroll (second half)]
[Description: It records half of the map to Demon Emperor Lletian's resting place in the Myriad Great Mountain Range ten thousand years ago.]
[Note: This item is not the original. It was hand-drawn by Zhao Zichen. It matches the first half of the map. However, only the approximate location of Demon Emperor Lietian's resting place can be found. The key information has been omitted.]
Hmm? It was actually hand-drawn by Zhao Zichen?
Lin Wudao frowned as he looked at the feedback from God's Spiritual Eye.
"Looks like Young Master Zhao does not have much sincerity."
In an instant, Lin Wudao's tone turned cold.
The Mad Daoist and Qin Daofu both clearly sensed the killing intent in his words.
"Brother Ren, are you saying that this is fake?"
The Mad Daoist's face darkened.
They had spent so much effort and taken such a big risk, but they had actually obtained a fake map?
"Zhao Zichen, you dare to fool us?"
At this moment, Qin Daofu also took out his golden battle spear, and his eyes were filled with a fierce light.
Hmm?
Seeing their expressions, Zhao Zichen's expression changed slightly.
"Brother Ren, how am I not sincere? This is indeed the map of the former Demon Emperor's resting place. I swear to the heavens that it is real," Zhao Zichen said firmly.
In response, Lin Wudao snorted coldly.
"This map that you have taken out, together with the previous half, can only roughly locate Demon Emperor Lietian's resting place. The most crucial part is still missing. Do you think I'm that gullible?"
What? He even knew about such a secret?
Zhao Zichen's pupils constricted.
Only now did he realize that he had underestimated Lin Wudao. The latter was far more terrifying than he had imagined.
"Young Master Zhao, if you can't take out the map of the real Demon Emperor's resting place, then forgive me for not being able to give you the Paramita Divine Flower. After all, I took a huge risk to get it. When you bring me the real map, I will give you the Paramita Divine Flower. In addition, if you can cooperate with us and complete the following plan, I can also give you a petal of the Paramita Divine Flower," Lin Wudao said indifferently. From the beginning to the end, he had never thought of splitting the flower equally with Zhao Zichen.
Once the item was in his hands, it was impossible for him to take it out again.
At the same time, after hearing Lin Wudao's words, Zhao Zichen frowned.
Obviously, he was not satisfied with this result.
However, for the sake of the Paramita Divine Flower, he could only endure it for the time being.
"I don't have the real original map. That being said, although I hand-drew the map, the things recorded on it are all true. This is my fault, so I won't try to find an excuse for myself. Although I don't have the original copy, I know that the other half of the map is in the hands of the Penglai Family."
Penglai Family?
Hearing this name, Lin Wudao's heart moved.
As far as he knew, the Penglai Family was the most mysterious and low-key hidden family among the five great aristocratic families in Jiuzhou. Whether it was strength or heritage, they far surpassed the other four great families.
The other half of the map was actually in their hands?
This was unexpected news.
"Since Young Master Zhao is so sincere, we can't treat Young Master Zhao unfairly. When the plan succeeds, we will offer a petal of the Paramita Divine Flower. Although it is not much, it is still a token of our appreciation. Besides, each person can only use one petal of the Paramita Divine Flower. More than that and it'll be a waste. What do you think, Young Master Zhao?"
Lin Wudao was silent for a moment before he spoke.
Hearing this, Zhao Zichen nodded.
"We'll do as Brother Ren says. This map of the Demon Emperor's resting place can be considered as my token to make friends with the three of you, hehe. Oh according to our previous plan, I have to find the Third Crown Prince of right, the Xia Dynasty. As for the Heishan Old Demon and the ancestral graves, I'll leave it to the three of you."
"Sure," Lin Wudao nodded.
He didn't reject it. "In that case, let's split up."
After saying that, Zhao Zichen smiled lightly, then got up and left.
After he left, Lin Wudao immediately took out the two maps and pieced them together..

"This place isโฆ The North Sea?"
When Lin Wudao pieced the two maps together, the Mad Daoist was surprised.
The North Sea?
Lin Wudao was stunned when he heard this name.
He did not expect Demon Emperor Lietian's resting place to be hidden in the North Sea.
"Can you tell where it is in the North Sea?" He asked.
The Mad Daoist examined it carefully for a moment, then shook his head. "Brother Ren, just as you said, although the map records the general location of Demon Emperor Lietian's resting place, it lacks the most crucial part. The route on it ultimately leads to the North Sea. As for where exactly in the North Sea it is, I am unable to tell."
The Mad Daoist frowned.
"It seems that we have to think of a way to get the half piece of the map that is in the Penglai Family's hands. I guess that half of the original map must contain some unknown secrets. Only by combining the two maps can we find the precise location."
Qin Daofu pondered for a moment before speaking.
Lin Wudao and the Mad Daoist agreed with him.
Zhao Zichen's hand-drawn version was definitely lacking something compared to the original.
"The problem now is, how do we get the other half of the map? The Penglai Family is different from the other four hidden aristocratic families in Jiuzhou. This family has always kept a low profile. For thousands of years, they have been guarding the coast of the East Sea. Even if their clansmen go out to train, they won't use their true identities. It is likely not easy to get the other half of the map from such a family that has no desiresโฆ" The Mad Daoist said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, a hint of killing intent flashed across Qin Daofu's eyes.
"Why don't we use force?" He suggested.
Violence was always the most effective way to solve problems.
Lin Wudao and the Mad Daoist did not reject this suggestion.
"Let's take a look first. We'll find an opportunity to talk to the Penglai Family. If we can obtain the other half of the map in a peaceful manner, that would naturally be the best. If it really doesn't work, we'll solve it by force."
After pondering for a while, Lin Wudao said.
"Okay, we'll do as Brother Ren says."
The two of them had no objections.
"Oh right, let's follow our previous plan. Later, we'll put the Paramita Divine Flower into the ancestral grave of the Panlong family and lure the Heishan Old Demon and the others over. We'll catch them all in one fell swoop. After this is done, each of us will get a petal of the Paramita Divine Flower."
"Alright."
"Brother Ren is generous."
The Mad Daoist and Qin Daofu were extremely satisfied with this distribution.
"In that case, let's act according to the plan."
After saying that, Lin Wudao disappeared in a flash.
Next, he was going to meet the Heishan Old Demon.
"Scavenger, follow me to a place."
"Where are we going?"
"Buried Dragon Ridge."
"Hmm? Do you want to dig up the ancestral grave of the Panlong family? Didn't they say that we have to wait for Brother Ren and the others to be prepared before taking action? Youโฆ"
"I'm just going to take a look first. I'll loot the valuable things in advance so that they won't be destroyed later. Besides, I am also worried about Zhao Zichenโฆ" The Mad Daoist narrowed his eyes and said.
Hearing this, Qin Daofu nodded thoughtfully. He was also somewhat wary of Zhao Zichen.
"Alright, let's go and take a look in advance."
As soon as he finished speaking, the two of them immediately disguised themselves and headed toward the Buried Dragon Ridge.
On the other side, relying on his powerful divine sense, Lin Wudao appeared before the Heishan Old Demon before the latter arrived at the Panlong Ancient City.
"Who are you?"
Looking at the mysterious cloaked man who suddenly appeared in front of him, the Heishan Old Demon Mountain narrowed his eyes. He could not see through the person in front of him at all.
"Do you want the Paramita Divine Flower?" Lin Wudao said indifferently. What was that? The Paramita Divine Flower was in his hands?
Hearing this, the Heishan Old Demon was immediately filled with hatred. His cold eyes locked onto Lin Wudao, and a monstrous ferocity erupted in his eyes.
Lin Wudao chose to ignore all this.
"You stole my Paramita Divine Flower?"
"Yes."
As he spoke, Lin Wudao extended his hand and took out the Paramita Divine Flower.
Whoosh!
As soon as he saw the Paramita Divine Flower, the Heishan Old Demon's gaze was instantly attracted. Without saying a word, he raised his hand and slashed at Lin Wudao.
However, his seemingly terrifying attack did not cause any damage to Lin Wudao.
Seeing this scene, the pupils of the Heishan Old Demon contracted.
"Thisโฆ How is that possible?"
He was shocked.
That slash just now had exhausted all of his strength. Even a Divine Strength realm cultivator would definitely end up seriously injured if they were to clash head-on with it.
Yet, Lin Wudao was unharmed. In fact, his body did not even tremble. ๐ต๐ธ๐๐พ๐ฟ๐๐ขxt.๐๐ถ๐
This made the Heishan Old Demon feel extremely shocked.
"Could it be that this person is a powerful existence that has surpassed the Divine Strength realm? Is he in the Divine Vein realm or the Divine Pedestal realm? Or even higher, the Divine Wheel realm?"
He gripped the Seven Kills Demonic Blade tightly, his eyes filled with unprecedented fear.
"Senior, what do you wish to tell me?"
At this moment, the Heishan Old Demon lowered his stance.
Moreover, he no longer had the monstrous killing intent from before.
To be able to ignore his attack, the other party must be a terrifying existence that far surpassed the Divine Strength realm. If the other party wanted to kill him, he would not have any chance of survival.
Therefore, the Heishan Old Demon was extremely respectful, for fear of angering Lin Wudao.
Lin Wudao was very satisfied with the other party's new attitude. "Don't worry, I'm not here to find trouble with you. As long as you help me do a few things, I will give you the Paramita Divine Flower. In fact, if you perform well, I can even help you break through to the Divine Strength realm. At that time, it's not impossible for you to become the Demon Emperor," Lin Wudao said calmly.
When the Heishan Old Demon heard this, his spirit was greatly boosted.
Whether it was the Paramita Divine Flower or the Demon Emperor of the Myriad Great Mountain Range, they were all things he dreamed of. "This is a great opportunity! This senior's cultivation and strength must have reached an unimaginable level. If I cling to him tightly, I won't have to worry about not being able to prosper in the future."
Thinking of this, the eyes of the Heishan Old Demon became unprecedentedly bright.
"May I know what the senior needs my help with?" He asked humbly.
"Oh, it's not a big deal. In the next two days, my juniors will set up a trap in the ancestral grave of the Panlong family to kill the Third Crown Prince of the Xia Dynasty and his guardian. When the time comes, we will use the Paramita Divine Flower as bait. You only need to go to the ancestral grave of the Panlong family at the right time and kill the Third Crown Prince of the Xia Dynasty along with his guardian. After all, my juniors need the corpses of some powerhouses."
Huh? Set up a trap to kill the Third Crown Prince of the Xia Dynasty? Collect the corpses of powerhouses?
Hearing this request, the Heishan Old Demon was stunned. Although he was a little puzzled, he did not dare to ask further.
"Senior, don't worry. I'll definitely do as you say. Oh right, if the senior needs to collect the corpses of powerhouses, why don't you spread the news? There are nine other Divine Mansion realm Demon Kings in the Myriad Great Mountain Range. Why don't you kill them as well?" The Heishan Old Demon suggested. His relationship with the other nine Demon Kings had never been harmonious.
If he could take advantage of this opportunity to eliminate all of them in one fell swoop, it would be a good thing for him. However, Lin Wudao did not agree.
"I still have a use for the Demon Kings in the Myriad Great Mountain Range.
Besides, if you become the Demon Emperor in the future, you will need a group of powerful subordinates. It is impossible for you to solve everything by yourself. However, your words have reminded me. You can spread the news and attract other human powerhouses to the Panlong Ancient City. At that time, I'll capture all of them in one fell swoop. After this is done, you can bring my token to the True Martial Divine Palace and let them help you break through to the Divine Strength realmโฆ"
What was that? The senior could even order the True Martial Divine Palace?
The Heishan Old Demon was shocked.
"This senior is definitely an extraordinary figure! I must hold on to him tightlyโฆ"
At this moment, the Heishan Old Demon felt that he had encountered great luck.
"Hu Shatian is willing to serve the senior!"
Thump!
In his excitement, he knelt and kowtowed heavily.
Seeing this, Lin Wudao also revealed a shocked expression.
He did not expect the Heishan Old Demon to be so direct. "Sigh, letting one's imagination run wild is the most deadly. To be honest, I'm really not a big shotโฆ" He sighed helplessly.
Although this sudden result was beyond his expectations, the Heishan Old Demon was a great help to him.
With him as a helper, many things would be much easier.
Furthermore, the other party could also do many things that were inconvenient for him to do.
Thinking of this, Lin Wudao felt that it was necessary for him to continue maintaining his image as a powerhouse..
