This was actually Lin Yi's original plan: to use the various forces that coveted the inheritance of the Great Emperor Wushi to jointly collect the Emperor Jade, and to pave the way with the power of the ultimate imperial weapon to see the Wushi Scripture.
It was only after winning the Imperial Jade at the auction of the Heavenly Demon Palace that Lin Yi realized, with a sense of helplessness, that his Plan A had actually been stillborn.
Now, Plan B is in progress.
…………
Yunze Prefecture, as its name suggests, is full of large marshes, shrouded in mist, making it feel like a water town.
After leaving the Holy City, Lin Yi used the Gate of the Void to travel through the void and quickly arrived at this place.
This oasis is vast, spanning tens of thousands of miles, and ranks among the top dozens of oases in the northern region.
Vast lakes are everywhere, and large marshes stretch as far as the eye can see, forming endless expanses. It's completely unlike the landscape of the northern regions; lush and verdant, teeming with life, it's almost entirely water with trees, springs every hundred steps, and rivers every ten miles.
The endless plains are lush and green, with ancient trees reaching for the sky and great rivers rushing everywhere, crisscrossing like dragons dividing the land.
Yunmeng Marsh is the territory of the Azure Dragon King. Lin Yi came here, naturally for the remains of the Ancient Sacred Body.
Upon arriving at the place where the Azure Dragon King lived in seclusion, he took out a jade pendant, which was left by the Azure Dragon King and contained his mark.
Lin Yi summoned the jade, and instantly a flash of light appeared, the scenery before his eyes changed drastically, and he entered an unfamiliar space.
The mountains are majestic, the waters are plentiful, the trees are lush, and the air is filled with moisture. Eighty-one major rivers flow through this area, and there are no fewer than dozens of lakes.
Lin Yi immediately recognized it as a cave world created by a seventh-level Saint Realm expert.
"Haha, Mr. Qingxuan, you've finally arrived." Three figures flew over, the leader being none other than the Azure Dragon King.
Standing to the left of the Azure Dragon King was a boy of sixteen or seventeen years old. He was somewhat thin and frail, with delicate features, clear and bright eyes as pure as lake water, and soft, light black hair.
This young man is like a clear spring in the deep mountains, giving people a refreshing feeling and a natural flavor.
Standing to the right of the Azure Dragon King was an elderly man with a dignified appearance and gray hair.
Lin Yi glanced around and said, "Peacock King, Tu Tian, the seventh greatest bandit in the Northern Region."
The Azure Dragon King explained, "Mr. Qingxuan has excellent eyesight. My two friends simply wanted to witness the demeanor of a Dao-Slaying King, and had no other intentions."
"It's alright." Lin Yi smiled and said, "I heard that Mr. Tu Tian possesses the body of the Supreme Emperor Weapon, the Devouring Demon Jar. May I have a look at it?"
Tu Tian shook his head and said, "Unfortunately, the Devouring Demon Jar was borrowed to attack Purple Mountain and has not been returned yet. I'm sorry to disappoint Mr. Qingxuan."
"What a pity," Lin Yi sighed.
Although he sensed the divine power of the Supreme Emperor Weapon from Tu Tian, he couldn't force it since the other party refused.
If a fight were to break out, the opponent would be completely invincible with half of an ultimate imperial weapon in hand.
"The remains of the Holy Body are in my treasure vault. Please follow me, Master Qingxuan," said the Azure Dragon King.
"Okay," Lin Yi nodded. He was highly skilled and daring, and showed no fear whatsoever.
Ancient sages created this small world and left behind some relics. The Azure Dragon King's cave was built in these relics.
The Azure Dragon King led Lin Yi, the Peacock King, and Tu Tian to a towering mountain that reached into the clouds. At the summit, there were magnificent palaces and pavilions, as if they had arrived in the heavenly court.
The guards here are some old demons, some of whom are clearly nearing the end of their lifespan. They are so old that they are covered in wrinkles that they cover their eyes. Their snow-white eyebrows are half a foot long, and their heads are completely bald, without a single hair.
Some of them were sweeping, some were planting flowers, and others were playing chess, working slowly like ordinary elderly people in their twilight years.
These old demons are all former subordinates of the Azure Dragon King. Although their lifespans are nearing their end, they can still fight desperately and should not be underestimated.
Upon hearing the Azure Dragon King's command, several old demons opened the heavy white jade door.
Instantly, spiritual energy surged out like a tide, its brilliance dazzling, blinding people.
As soon as you step inside, the more than one-meter-thick white jade door behind you slams shut with a loud bang, but the treasure vault is not dark at all; it is as bright as day.
The Azure Dragon King's treasure vault was vast, consisting of nine palaces, gleaming with light and filled with precious treasures, making it feel like a dream!
The golden holy sword, with its myriad sword energies, gleaming with golden light, exudes boundless killing intent and is dazzlingly beautiful.
The Crimson Blood Demon Spear, with its blood-red light like a curtain, is bewitchingly sharp and flows with divine power, making it impossible to look directly at.
The bronze bell, radiating divine light and surrounded by purple mist, hangs there, its melodious sound resonating and swaying autonomously.
...
Each and every one of these treasures and weapon was a rare and exquisite artifact, dazzling the eye. Besides the weapons, there were also many precious materials, gleaming and dazzling.
Crimson copper essence, meteorite iron, five-colored ancient vines, divine phoenix grass... all kinds of materials, shining with countless rays of light, the treasure trove has everything, making one wish to grab them all.
The collections of powerful demons were truly dazzling and awe-inspiring.
Lin Yi followed the Azure Dragon King into the ninth treasure hall, where even more treasures were piled up like small mountains, dazzling and magnificent.
In the very center, there was a cold, dry corpse, sitting motionless in a cross-legged position. Although the flesh and blood were withered, they had not decayed and were tightly attached to the bones.
The dried flesh and strong bones possess an immortal power, as if it has traveled across time and space.
When this person passed away, he did not look old; he remained in a middle-aged state. Even his hair was black and thick, draped over his withered body.
The corpse's back was straight, like a dragon soaring into the sky, giving people a sense of immortal power. Its head was not lowered, but looked straight ahead.
