Chapter 84

First Chapter.

Xuanjing? Qingqiu?

Chen Xi's heart stirred, instantly confirming the identities of the two individuals.

"Be careful!"

"They are the old Xuanjing Turtle King and the Qingqiu Fox King!"

Du Qingxi and the others also reacted, their expressions suddenly changing as they prepared for battle.

Although they had never met these two demon kings, their names were as famous as thunder. How could they not know that these were two existences even more mysterious and powerful than the Kunpeng King?

However, whether it was the old Xuanjing Turtle King with his green robe and white hair, or the Qingqiu Fox King with her long hair and eyes like peach blossoms, they were vastly different from other demons in their eyes. The two were filled with spiritual light, their auras tranquil, and there was not a trace of demonic energy. If the old Xuanjing Turtle King had not revealed his identity, they would have almost suspected that these two demon kings were human cultivators.

This also indirectly proved that the cultivation levels of these two demon kings had likely reached an inconceivable level!

Thinking of this, Du Qingxi and the others felt a tightening in their hearts, filled with anxiety. They had just been rescued, but were they going to be captured again?

"Don't worry. If these two wanted to make a move, we would have been dead long ago." Chen Xi waved his hand, his expression calm as he gazed at the uninvited demon kings, his eyes showing no fear.

"Your praise is too much, but we did come here for a favor from young friend Chen Xi." The old turtle king smiled gently, inwardly marveling at Chen Xi's keen insight.

Rustle!

As the old turtle king spoke, the Qingqiu Fox King waved her sleeve, and the ground was soon piled with various treasures, including spirit herbs, pills, spirit liquids, and all sorts of strange materials, even a few powerful magical treasures!

"You killed the Kunpeng King, and these are your spoils of war. I kept them for you. Take a look." The Qingqiu Fox King smiled lightly.

Du Qingxi and the others were stunned, their eyes wide. Growing up in powerful and wealthy families, their eyes were sharp, and they could almost instantly tell that each of these treasures was extremely valuable. If converted into spirit liquids, they would be worth millions!

Millions of pounds of spirit liquid, enough to allow a Zifu cultivator to break through to the Huangting realm!

But thinking about it, it made sense. As one of the seven demon kings, the Kunpeng King had lived for nearly ten thousand years, so it was reasonable for him to have so many treasures.

However, they still found it hard to believe. From the Qingqiu Fox King's words, it seemed she was going to give these treasures to Chen Xi... What was going on?

Could it be that they really had something to ask of Chen Xi, so they were offering such a large gift?

It seemed these two really had something to ask of him!

Chen Xi instantly understood, but he did not even glance at the treasures on the ground, asking, "I wonder why the two demon kings have come?"

"Rest assured, young friend, it's a good thing, a great thing! But let's not talk about it now. Let's leave this place first. Yes, let's go to Bao Yue Mountain. That seems to be young friend Chen Xi's resting place."

The old Xuanjing Turtle King let out a hearty laugh. At this moment, he appreciated Chen Xi even more. Facing such treasures, he could remain so calm, something that other young cultivators would have been lost in.

"Take them. These things are yours. Don't worry about owing me anything." The Qingqiu Fox King teased, her bright eyes narrowing into a mischievous line.

Seeing this, Chen Xi did not refuse, immediately storing the treasures in his storage ring.

In this situation, if he refused again, it would seem too pretentious and impolite. Although he could not guess what these two demon kings were planning, from his current observations, it did not seem to be anything bad. After all, if it were bad, they would not have been so polite to him.

...

A grand and ancient treasure ship broke through the waves of air, flying swiftly toward the distant sky.

"This time, if I hadn't comprehended the complete meaning of the Wind Dao at the last moment, I would have died here. In the future, I must practice even harder. The feeling of being on the brink of death is enough once; I don't want to experience it again..."

On the ship, Chen Xi leaned against the railing, watching the rapidly disappearing Xiaoyue Ridge, feeling as if he had experienced a different world.

"Tsk tsk, if I'm not mistaken, this ship is also a rank-advancing magical treasure!"

"Yes, it is engraved with various spirit-gathering patterns, allowing it to absorb the essence of heaven and earth as its power source. It doesn't need to consume anything to fly for a long time."

"It is indeed a very precious treasure ship."

Du Qingxi and the others stood to one side, carefully examining the structure of the treasure ship, marveling at it.

This treasure ship belonged to the old Xuanjing Turtle King. Sitting inside, it was stable and comfortable, with no sensation of air currents. The interior was furnished with beds, tables, chairs, spirit flowers, and various kinds of fine wines and fresh spirit fruits, making it feel like a palace flying through the sky, extremely comfortable.

"Chen Xi, young friend, what do you think of my treasure ship?" The old Xuanjing Turtle King stood beside Chen Xi, smiling.

"It's very good." Chen Xi nodded. When he first boarded the ship, he was greatly surprised. From his observations, this treasure ship was not only comfortable but also extremely sturdy, comparable to a rank-advancing magical treasure.

Rank-advancing magical treasures are divided into four grades: Heaven, Earth, Xuan, and Huang. Each grade is further divided into four levels: lower, middle, upper, and supreme. Chen Xi could not determine the grade of this treasure ship, but he was certain it was definitely a rank-advancing magical treasure.

"Ha ha ha, if you like it, I'll give you this treasure ship."

The old Xuanjing Turtle King laughed and immediately decided, "Don't refuse. This treasure can withstand a full attack from a Huangting cultivator and can fly ten thousand miles in an hour. Keep it for protection."

"How can I accept that?" Chen Xi still could not accept it.

"To me, this thing is useless. If you don't take it, I'll destroy it when we reach Bao Yue Mountain!" The old Xuanjing Turtle King pretended to be angry.

With such words, Chen Xi could not refuse, but his doubts grew even more. What could make this mysterious demon king so eager to please him?

Soon, the treasure ship arrived at Bao Yue Mountain.

Mu Kui was in the middle of cultivation. Seeing the treasure ship descend, he was stunned. But when he saw Chen Xi walk out, he jumped up, overjoyed, and ran over, shouting excitedly, "Senior, you didn't die... you didn't die..."

Seeing Mu Kui so happy, Chen Xi was also very pleased, and he rarely teased him, "Are you that eager for me to die?"

Mu Kui's face turned red, and he shook his head like a rattle drum, "No... no..."

Seeing him so excited that he couldn't even speak clearly, Chen Xi felt both amused and touched. He patted his shoulder and changed the subject, "We have guests. Why don't you prepare something?"

"Ah, okay."

Mu Kui saw the old Xuanjing Turtle King and the Qingqiu Fox King standing beside Chen Xi, chatting amicably, and he admired Chen Xi's skills even more. Without another word, he ran into the cave to prepare fruits and wine.

"This wolf demon is truly emotional and sincere. Being by Chen Xi's side is a great fortune for him. Even I can't help but envy him." The old Xuanjing Turtle King flattered him with a smile.

Beside him, the Qingqiu Fox King also nodded with a smile.

Having a request, they showed their intentions. Chen Xi understood this, but he did not point it out, nodding and saying, "Mu Kui is indeed good. I have high hopes for him."

The banquet was quickly prepared, and Chen Xi and the others took their seats, drinking and conversing with the old Xuanjing Turtle King and the Qingqiu Fox King.

"Chen Xi, young friend, do you know some of the past of the Southern Barbarian Mountains?" When the wine was slightly intoxicating, the old Xuanjing Turtle King spoke casually.

Is it finally starting? Chen Xi's heart stirred, and he clasped his hands, saying, "Please enlighten me, Senior Xuanjing."

The Qingqiu Fox King interjected, "I see these fellow cultivators are exhausted. They must have suffered greatly at the hands of the Kunpeng King. Why don't you rest first? There's no need to attend to us."

Her words were a clear hint to leave.

Du Qingxi and the others understood, but they were indeed too exhausted, their true essence still sealed and not fully recovered. They immediately left their seats.

At this point, only Chen Xi and the two demon kings remained in the room.

"The Southern Barbarian Mountains have existed for a million years, but they are isolated from the world. Not only can human cultivators not enter, but the demons in the mountains cannot leave either."

The old Xuanjing Turtle King said solemnly, "What worries us the most is that there is a strange restriction in the Southern Barbarian Mountains. Any demon, to break through the Zifu realm and advance to the Huangting realm, is completely impossible, let alone reaching higher realms and living as long as the heavens, achieving the pinnacle of the Dao."

Chen Xi was taken aback, "I saw the Kunpeng King trying to refine the Blood Spirit Transformation Pill to advance to the Huangting realm, didn't I?"

"That's true," the old Xuanjing Turtle King replied, "But that was just a desperate act before his death. After all, his lifespan was nearly over, and to survive, he had no choice but to do so."

The Qingqiu Fox King snorted, "The Kunpeng King is a fool. Seeing you suddenly appear in the Southern Barbarian Mountains, he thought it was a stroke of luck and wanted to use you to refine the Blood Spirit Transformation Pill. He didn't know that even if he succeeded, he would never advance to the Huangting realm."

"How can this be?" Chen Xi was surprised.

"Because..."

At this point, the old Xuanjing Turtle King paused, his expression filled with deep reverence. After a long while, he sighed, "Because a million years ago, a mysterious and powerful treasure was left behind. The restriction that seals the Southern Barbarian Mountains for ten thousand miles is caused by a wisp of its aura!"

A wisp of aura sealed the Southern Barbarian Mountains for a million years?

Even if Chen Xi's Dao heart was solid, he could not help but draw a deep breath, surprised, "What kind of treasure could be so powerful?"

The old Xuanjing Turtle King looked up at the sky, his expression becoming extremely devout, murmuring, "A treasure with such power must be the one that caused chaos in the three realms and made the gods and demons bleed in the ancient times—the Mysterious River Map!"
