"Let's go!"
Nangong Zheng suppressed the various strange phenomena. He had gained enough from this trip, so he decided to leave the Myriad Dragon Nest and head directly towards its entrance.
Xiang Feng bowed to the coffin of the Ruthless Emperor, then turned around and walked away step by step.
roar!
Just as the two stepped out of the Dragon Cave of the Myriad Dragon Nest, a roar rang out, and an ancient creature rushed out, ferocious and exuding a terrifying aura.
"A demigod! This is an ancient being at the demigod level!" Xiang Feng exclaimed.
Ancient creatures are attacking!
Its lower body was that of a snake, covered in purple scales, while its upper body was that of a human with three heads and six arms. With a shake of its six arms, it shattered the void, creating a black hole, and charged toward Nangong Zheng.
"court death!"
Nangong Zheng snorted coldly and slammed his palm into the black hole, shattering it and causing it to disappear into the air. Nangong Zheng's white hair flew wildly as he reached out with his large hand, breaking it apart and splattering blood.
"Roar roar roar!"
Suddenly, four or five more ancient creatures rushed out, each possessing a half-saint cultivation level, and attacked the two of them.
"Flowers bloom in an instant!"
Nangong Zheng's eyes turned cold, and the next moment, a blazing divine light shot out, surrounding the two of them and forming a protective light barrier!
The ancient holy spirits rushed forward, but were bounced back by a terrifying force.
Then, the sky was filled with pink peach blossoms. The blossoms fell and, with lightning speed, took root on the bodies of several ancient beings, immobilizing them. Soon, seven-colored flowers grew rapidly.
"Roar..."
Many ancient beings were frozen in place, letting out mournful screams, because their life force, primordial spirit, and vital energy were being drained. Within a few breaths, the bodies of several semi-saint level ancient beings withered, their petals fell, and they turned into several immortal peaches!
Nangong Zheng raised his hand and summoned several immortal peaches, which landed in his hand and emitted an intoxicating fragrance. One whiff of it seemed as if one could ascend to immortality!
"This is..." Xiang Feng was shocked. When had he ever seen such a scene? Using supernatural powers, he absorbed the enemy's essence and spirit, which turned into several immortal peaches.
"Let's talk outside!" Nangong Zheng's eyes flashed. Some of the ancient creatures in the Myriad Dragon Nest had been alerted, and it was not advisable to stay here any longer.
Immediately, a flash of light appeared, and Nangong Zheng led Xiang Feng out, exiting the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest.
"Try this peach," Nangong Zheng said with a slight smile, handing a peach to Xiang Feng.
Xiang Feng's eyes lit up as he took the peach and took a bite.
The fragrance permeates the five internal organs and nourishes every inch of flesh and blood; the crystal-clear peach is full of boundless vitality.
Xiang Feng did not swallow it all at once. He took only a few bites before meditating to refine the medicine and maximize its effects.
In just a moment, its withered body began to glow, enveloped in intense light.
"I've actually gained fifty years of lifespan!" Xiang Feng exclaimed, his face filled with astonishment.
One immortal peach is equivalent to one human essence fruit; this is too heaven-defying!
If this gets out, it will surely drive all the old monsters in the Eastern Wilderness crazy!
"My cultivation... has actually increased slightly!" Xiang Feng continued, filled with shock. He felt that his cultivation bottleneck had actually loosened.
A single immortal peach can increase one's cultivation level and lifespan.
Nangong Zheng nodded slightly. It seemed that this human body elixir primarily increased lifespan and, secondarily, increased cultivation.
Immediately afterward, Nangong Zheng told Xiang Feng that he was leaving the Eastern Wilderness and heading to the Central State.
After the two separated, Nangong Zheng tore through the void and crossed it, quickly arriving back in the Southern Region.
Immediately afterward, Nangong Zheng arrived in the Southern Region, at the Yao Guang Holy Land!
In the sacred land of Yaoguang, clouds and mist rise and fall, and towering mountains float in the void.
Each mountain is majestic, some shrouded in magical clouds, others surrounded by colorful mist, seemingly existing since the beginning of time, exuding an ancient aura.
Nangong Zheng entered and soon reached the depths, where the surroundings were even more mysterious and magnificent, with various temples and a divine city standing there.
Soon, the Holy Lord of Yaoguang appeared. His cultivation was profound, and his entire body was surrounded by one hundred and eight halos, each crystal-clear and dazzling, like one hundred and eight great worlds, appearing and disappearing.
"Brother Nangong!" Holy Lord Li Daoqing appeared and welcomed Nangong Zheng into an ancient hall.
The ancient hall was majestic, with a large black cauldron in the center, emanating wisps of supreme divine power.
"Brother Li!" Nangong Zheng smiled slightly. Speaking of which, the Holy Lord Yaoguang was also an old friend of his. The two had known each other since they were young, and more than two thousand years had passed in the blink of an eye.
Yao Guang Saint Lord Li Daoqing looked at Nangong Zheng with a complicated expression. His old friend had now become the leader of the Ruthless Clan.
After exchanging a few words, Nangong Zheng took out a "fairy peach" and handed it to Yao Guang Saint Lord Li Daoqing.
The Holy Lord Yaoguang was taken aback. Given his knowledge, he naturally recognized this as an extraordinary divine object.
"Greetings, Leader!"
At that moment, a burly older man dressed in gray appeared. Although his white hair was disheveled, he was upright and imposing, with sharp eyes, and looked very majestic.
He bowed to Nangong Zheng. He was Qin Xu, the King of the Ruthless Clan, and the number one figure in the Ruthless Clan besides Nangong Zheng, the leader!
At this moment, Yao Guang Holy Lord Li Daoqing tactfully withdrew, leaving the entire hall to the two of them.
"What brings the leader here?" Qin Xu's eyes shone brightly, brimming with energy.
Nangong Zheng took out the Devouring Demon Jar and released the Heavenly Emperor's son.
The prince had grown up considerably; his face was handsome, and a five-colored divine halo surrounded him, his whole body sparkling and radiating divine light.
"I'm going to Zhongzhou. I'm entrusting this boy to you!" Nangong Zheng said.
"That's true. At this age, it's about time for breeding. You can leave it to me without worry." Qin Xu looked at the Emperor's son and revealed a meaningful smile.
"You..." The Emperor's face turned green, his chest heaving violently, clearly furious.
"Honestly accept the arrangements and serve the ruthless lineage. This is your predetermined fate!" Qin Xu said coldly.
...
After handing the Heavenly Prince over to Qin Xu and giving him a celestial peach, Nangong Zheng left the Yao Guang Holy Land.
When he left the Yao Guang Holy Land, he headed straight for the Valley of Longevity, intending to say goodbye to Yun Shu!
However, when they arrived at the Valley of Immortality, they found it in ruins, with broken trees, fallen petals, and a charred landscape, but Yun Shu was nowhere to be seen.
Nangong Zheng's face was cold as he silently activated the "Former Word Secret Technique." His brow glowed, and he quickly discovered the truth: this place had been invaded before, and a huge disc had abducted Yun Shu.
"Whoosh!"
At this very moment, a streak of aurora shot across the sky, so fast that it was difficult to see clearly.
It was a silver flying artifact that flashed and disappeared in an instant, tearing through the sky like lightning and vanishing into the distance.
It was a huge, luminous object, moving at incredible speed, like a streak of silver light plunging into the depths of the mountains. It was shaped like a massive disc, shimmering with a cold, metallic sheen.
"An extraterrestrial flying saucer!?" Nangong Zheng's eyes narrowed. That was the very disc that had abducted Yun Shu!
Nangong Zheng's mind stirred, and he used the Xingzi Technique to chase after them!
