Chapter 51

"Please don't ask me where the Naga clan's deep-sea black robe comes from, and don't ask me why I would give it to you, okay?" Ximen Ningning said.

"And also, don't let anyone else know about the deep-sea black robe you have." Ningning continued.

Yandingtian nodded, but he still couldn't suppress the shock in his heart.

The Naga clan could be considered the ultimate secret of this world!

For a thousand years, countless people have yearned for it, but no one has truly investigated it.

Yandingtian had read related records.

The Divine Dragon is the supreme guardian deity of the entire Chaotic Continent, known as the Divine Dragon Titan.

In all the records, even those from ancient times, there are no more dragons in this world, only close relatives of dragons. However, any close relative of a dragon is incredibly powerful, and the Naga is the closest blood relative to dragons, being the offspring of dragons and sea snakes. Before transforming into human form, their appearance is both snake-like and dragon-like, appearing majestic and terrifying, fierce and cold-blooded.

In short, the Naga clan can be called the most powerful race in this world, with no exception.

Over ten thousand years ago, Xuwu Piaoyan wanted to save the world, and the first race he sought was the incredibly powerful Naga clan. However, it is unknown whether he ever met the Naga clan. This secret is only revealed in the second level of the Pig Slaughtering Sword Technique.

...

"This is the skin shed by a female Naga, so it's very small. You, you have to take off your shirt, and I will help you put it on inch by inch."

"It's just a shirt, right? No pants, right?" Yandingtian said, taking off his shirt was already his limit; he didn't want to take off his pants in front of her.

"There are also legs, but they are on my lower body, and I can't take them off." Ximen Ningning whispered, her face already blushing so red it almost seemed to be dripping blood.

Reluctantly, Yandingtian took off his shirt, and with Ximen Ningning's help, he put on the deep-sea black robe inch by inch.

Ximen Ningning might have never touched a man before, nor seen a man's bare upper body. Her entire face was as red as a cloth, her breathing rapid, and the sound of her heart beating almost audible to Yandingtian.

Of course, Yandingtian wasn't much better, after all, it was a woman's delicate hands touching his bare upper body.

...

After putting on the deep-sea black robe, Yandingtian almost couldn't feel its presence, as if it had become another layer of his skin. He then put on his clothes over it.

Then, Ximen Ningning led Yandingtian to the balcony outside and gently called out, "Yaoyao, come quickly, sister is looking for you."

After a while, a beautiful shadow flew out from the cave on the mountain top. It flew very fast and gracefully, quickly reaching Yandingtian and hovering in the air, gently flapping its wings.

What a beautiful mount, Yandingtian had never seen anything like it. Its slender body curved into an S-shape, with beautiful, soft wings on both sides. From head to tail, it had wings, but the wings were widest at the body and gradually narrowed towards the tail, forming a graceful arc.

Yandingtian had really never seen such a beautiful flying beast before; it was clearly a very rare mount.

"This is a Spirit Ray, it flies very steadily and quickly, and is very gentle." Ximen Ningning said to Yandingtian, then extended her small hand to stroke the Spirit Ray's head. Compared to its wings, its head was small, but its eyes were large, and it had a delicate mouth, looking very cute.

"Take your brother to the Red Wilderness, and be good, okay?" Ximen Ningning said softly while stroking the Spirit Ray's head.

The Spirit Ray enjoyed the stroking, its large eyes slightly closed, and it rubbed its head against Ximen Ningning's small hand, making a cooing sound.

After Ximen Ningning let go, the beautiful ray slowly flew down, hovering a foot above the balcony, tilting its head and calling for Yandingtian to sit on its body.

Yandingtian lightly leaped onto the Spirit Ray's back, touched its neck, and whispered, "Thank you, Yaoyao."

Then he waved to Ximen Ningning and said, "Goodbye."

Ximen Ningning leaned against the balcony railing, her body seeming a bit weak, and waved her small hand at Yandingtian, "Goodbye, be careful, be very careful!"

Then, the Spirit Ray carried Yandingtian and flew towards the Red Wilderness, about a hundred miles away.

*****

The Red Wilderness is located about a hundred miles northwest of Yunxiao City. The Spirit Ray indeed flew very fast, and in less than half an hour, they reached the sky above the Red Wilderness.

Sitting on the Spirit Ray, Yandingtian looked down at the vast Red Wilderness. Countless red cracks had torn the land apart, leaving it scarred. The cracks were filled with boiling, blood-red lava that never solidified, and even the land here was blood-red.

The entire Red Wilderness was about four hundred miles in length and width, with a giant volcano at its center. During the Great Cataclysm, the volcano erupted, tearing apart the surrounding land for hundreds of miles, and the lava flowed into the cracks, forming today's Red Wilderness. The lava contained extremely dense fire-elemental mystic energy, which made the Red Wilderness home to countless beasts.

From the sky, besides the numerous smaller cracks, there were five large square cracks, centered around the large volcano, one inside the other, dividing the Red Wilderness into five sections. The closer to the volcano, the denser the mystic energy, and the higher the level of the beasts.

The Spirit Ray landed at the outermost edge of the Red Wilderness, and Yandingtian jumped onto the red land. The Spirit Ray called out and flew back towards Yunxiao City, planning to return to pick up Yandingtian in the evening.

Stepping on the red land, Yandingtian immediately felt an intense heat. The mystic energy here was indeed much denser than in Yunxiao City. However, this mystic energy could not be used for cultivation, as it contained intense fire poison, which would burn the mystic veins if absorbed.

This was the outermost layer of the Red Wilderness, where the beasts were relatively low-level.

From the map, the outermost layer was about 30,000 square kilometers. Wherever he looked, there were undulating hills and stone mountains. Most places had no vegetation, and only a few areas had strange plants.

Yandingtian took a long, scorching breath and drew his sword.

The danger had already begun. At this moment, he was the only person in the entire wilderness, surrounded by countless beasts hiding behind the hills and in the caves.

Yandingtian knew that the most dangerous places in the Red Wilderness were the deep caves, followed by the stone and earth hills, and the safest place was the flat ground. Therefore, he always stayed away from the stone hills and caves, carefully walking on the flat ground, gradually moving deeper into the Red Wilderness.

Although he had elixirs and the deep-sea black robe, he was just an Initiate, and this place was extremely dangerous. The deep-sea black robe could not protect his head and limbs, and even the lowest-level beast could kill him.

Only now did Yandingtian realize his own madness. He had almost no mystic energy and had actually come to the perilous Red Wilderness alone.

Yandingtian slowly moved forward, his nerves taut, every hair on his body standing on end, and he tried to avoid touching the shrubs at his feet.

The surroundings were completely silent, not even the sound of a single insect, eerily quiet, as if deadly danger lurked everywhere.

Yandingtian walked for about ten minutes, already two or three miles deep, but he still hadn't seen a single beast, not even a living creature. He couldn't help but feel a bit anxious. Without beasts, it was safe, but he couldn't hunt for beast cores either.

"Huh? What's that?" Yandingtian suddenly felt a bright light ahead, as if a flame was burning in the crack of a stone mountain.

Walking closer, he found it wasn't a flame but a red-black stone that looked like a fire from a distance.

"Huh? Master, what is this?" Yandingtian asked.

"Ah..." Dongfang Niemie exclaimed in surprise, "This is incredible. You just came out to adventure, and in this low-level beast wilderness, you actually encountered such a precious thing. Others might not find it even after traveling thousands of miles."

Hearing Dongfang Niemie's surprise, Yandingtian became even more curious, "What is it exactly?"

"It's Blood Black Gold, and it just emerged from the rock. Otherwise, it would have been taken long ago," Dongfang Niemie said.

"Ah, Blood Black Gold, the Blood Black Gold used for forging soul swords?" Yandingtian said in disbelief.

Indeed, Blood Black Gold is not only the top-tier material for forging divine weapons, but any weapon forged from Blood Black Gold is a divine weapon.

However, the true value of Blood Black Gold lies in its ability to forge soul swords, and it is the only material for forging the blade of a soul sword.

A solar soul sword requires at least ninety-nine pieces of Blood Black Gold. A martial artist would need to travel the world, spending years, even decades, to gather enough Blood Black Gold, so each piece is worth a fortune.

And Yandingtian, just arriving in the trial wilderness, had encountered a piece of Blood Black Gold emerging from the rock. This was more than just luck. It seemed as if the heavens were telling Yandingtian to choose the path of cultivating a soul sword.

"Child, I'll ask you again, have you decided to cultivate a soul sword? This is the most difficult path in the world, and only three people in this world have successfully cultivated a soul sword, even the supreme powerhouse Zhu Qingzhu couldn't achieve it," Dongfang Niemie asked.

Yandingtian looked at the Blood Black Gold and said, "I have decided. And you said that Dongfang Bingling cultivates a soul sword and has already forged a proto-sword. If I don't cultivate a soul sword, I will never be able to defeat her."

A soul sword is the king of all souls. Other martial souls are derived from beasts and can never surpass half the strength of the beast.

A soul sword, however, can grow forever, becoming powerful enough to break the heavens. Ximen Wuyuan's soul sword was only in the growth stage, yet it was so powerful that it defeated the Great Master of the Yin-Yang Sect, the Supreme Elder Ning Buxie. If he hadn't been harmed by Zhu Qingzhu, he could have become invincible in the world within ten years, thanks to his soul sword.

"Very well, when I cultivated a soul sword, I took many detours. Now, I won't let you take those detours," Dongfang Niemie said. "The first step in cultivating the most powerful soul sword is to forge a supreme treasure sword with your own hands. The first step in forging a supreme treasure sword is to dig out this precious piece of Blood Black Gold with your own hands!"

Yandingtian immediately took out a dagger and approached to dig out the Blood Black Gold.

The dagger inserted into the crack in the rock, and he pushed with force.

"Whoosh..." Suddenly, a flash of fire appeared before Yandingtian's eyes, and a searing heat almost blinded him.

A giant fire-red wolf suddenly charged out from behind the mountain, opening its massive mouth and biting at Yandingtian's neck like lightning.

This was a Flame Demon Wolf, a fire-elemental beast, cruel and bloodthirsty.
