Chapter 10: Crimson Blood Golden Jiao

010: Crimson Blood Golden Jiao

Open sea.

An island.

A teleportation array flashes, revealing a burly figure.

This person has long hair, a tall and straight figure, restrained brilliance in their eyes, and walks with the grace of a dragon and the agility of a tiger as they step out of the teleportation array.

"Young Master!"

Outside the teleportation array, several disciples dressed in Zheng Clan attire bow in salute.

"No need for formalities, carry on with your own tasks."

Zheng Peng glanced around, spiritual energy surging on his body. Suddenly, he leaped into the sky, transformed into a giant blue bird, flapped its wings to clear the air, and disappeared in an instant.

...

On the boundless sea.

A white jade tower ship sails through the waves.

Although it travels on the surface of the sea, its speed is not slower than flying in the sky.

On the deck, six cultivators chat, laugh, and drink, enjoying themselves.

Among the six is a woman in a pink dress, exquisitely beautiful and captivating.

She gracefully stands up, toasts and exchanges cups with the other five cultivators, laughing and talking intimately.

"Although Dragon Fairy's boat lacks the ability to fly, it is more suitable for this environment. It doesn't need spiritual stones and can refine the water's spiritual energy to drive itself. With such speed, it can be considered a treasure."

One cultivator praises.

Long Ying'er chuckles, "Brother Xu is too kind. This time, the five of you are exploring the Gold Core Ancient Cultivation Cave Mansion. I wonder how many treasures are waiting for you. Don't underestimate this old boat of mine."

Cultivator Xu quickly says, "Dragon Fairy, there's no need to be so modest. You also have a share in exploring the Gold Core Cave Mansion. The six of us will go together and take what we need."

The other four also echo his words.

Long Ying'er's beautiful eyes sweep over everyone and bows gracefully, "From now on, the Bamboo Mountain Five Friends will become the Bamboo Mountain Six Friends!"

"Indeed, indeed!"

The Bamboo Mountain Five Friends raise their cups and drink heartily.

"Thanks to the kindness of the brothers, this old boat of mine also has a great gift for you. Have you ever heard of the Dragon-Scale Fruit?"

Long Ying'er smiles charmingly.

"The Dragon-Scale Fruit, is it the legendary treasure that enhances physical strength?"

The Bamboo Mountain Five Friends ask.

Long Ying'er nods, "That's right."

"What does Dragon Fairy mean?"

"Because I obtained the location of a Dragon-Scale Fruit Tree, that's why I set sail to find it. Coincidentally, that place is close to where you brothers are heading. How about we go and collect the fruit first before going to the Gold Core Ancient Cultivation Cave Mansion?"

...

Longlin Island.

Pang Yue sat cross-legged in the void, a red and white sword light resembling a graceful fish, swirling around him in a dazzling trajectory.

In these years, his swordsmanship has greatly improved.

Apart from the sword silk technique that only Gold Core cultivators can cultivate, he has already mastered other techniques such as sword qi thunder sound, sword light differentiation, body and sword unity, and the clarity of mind and sword.

After obtaining the Flame Demon Slashing Immortal Sword, his combat power has increased even further.

At the same time, his speed of escape has also become faster.

The Flame Demon Slashing Immortal Sword was refined by a powerful Gold Core expert from the Demon Talisman Sect, and it perfectly matches Pang Yue's cultivation of the "Flame Demon True Talisman". If he uses the sword light to fly away with his body and sword united, I'm afraid no one below the Gold Core stage can catch up.

This is his escape route.

In the past five years, he has also perfected the Dragon Elephant Subduing Demon Fist Scripture, with all thirty-three Dragon Elephant True Talismans in place, and a tremendous strength of three million and three hundred thousand jin, which has already exceeded the limit of Dao Foundation Body Refining cultivators.

With such great strength, coupled with punching speed comparable to the speed of sound, at this moment, he can sink a small island with just his physical strength alone.

Pang Yue thought that the people who came to his door this time were only from the Zheng Family, but unexpectedly, the first person to come was a Monster Cultivator.

A man in a golden robe emerged from the sea, circled around in the air, and stared intently at the island in front of him.

"It really is the scent of the Dragon-Scale Fruit, but unfortunately it hasn't ripened yet!"

He was very cautious and did not rush into the island.

"With this fruit, I can trace back to the true dragon bloodline, improve my cultivation, and even surpass a few of my older brothers, entering the Gold Core stage ahead of time!"

His eyes flickered with a determined look.

"Hmm... let's test it first!"

He raised his trident, stretched out his arm, and then threw it forcefully!

Swoosh!

The heavy trident flew through the air and struck directly at the valley of Longlin Island.

"Ah..."

The illusion formation was instantly torn apart by this tremendous force, revealing the blue stone courtyard and the Dragon-Scale Fruit Tree inside.

A hand reached out and firmly caught the trident.

The man in the golden robe was first stunned, then sneered, "Sure enough, there's something fishy. None of the human cultivators can be trusted."

After speaking, he opened his big hand and a force of retrieval surged out, ready to retrieve the trident.

But...

The trident remained motionless.

The man in the golden robe looked at the man in the gray Daoist robe below, who only had a cultivation level of Dao Foundation Triple Stage, and thought that the other party had trapped his Law Weapon with a formation. So he shouted, "Hey, Daoist, quickly release the restriction here, hand over the Dragon-Scale Fruit Tree, and I'll leave you with a complete corpse."

In the blue stone courtyard, Pang Yue frowned.

"How did I attract a Monster Cultivator at the Dao Foundation Late Stage..."

This Monster Cultivator in front of him was full of refined blood, with a powerful demonic energy, and his cultivation had reached the Dao Foundation Seventh Stage, with an overwhelming aura.

The man in the golden robe once again used a secret technique to recall the trident, but found that his Law Weapon was lightly held in the hand of the gray-robed Daoist, motionless. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't make any progress.

"Very well, you're just a cultivator in the early stage of the Dao Foundation. I will destroy your formation first!"

The man in the golden robe made up his mind and spoke without patience, directly revealing his true form - a hundred-zhang long golden Flood Dragon.

"Crimson Blood Golden Jiao!"

Pang Yue's expression slightly changed. The Crimson Blood Golden Jiao was one of the largest Monster Race factions in the outer sea, and it was said that there was a Monster Emperor in their clan.

Monster Emperor corresponds to the Primordial Spirit Realm in the realm of human cultivators.

At this moment, without saying a word, the Crimson Blood Golden Jiao soared into the sky, displaying its innate Divine Ability, suddenly stirring up a sea of tsunami, pressing towards the Dragon Scale Island.

Hundred-zhang high waves roared and approached, pressing against the sky, seemingly about to destroy the Dragon Scale Island.

Suddenly, five mountain peak illusions appeared, within a radius of ten li, the world fell silent, and the wind and waves disappeared.

The tsunami clashed against the illusions of the five mountain peaks, and for a while, they were deadlocked.

The Crimson Blood Golden Jiao let out a loud dragon roar, suddenly diving down, opening its mouth and spitting out golden flames, intending to melt the grand formation.

Just at this moment, his heart suddenly skipped a beat, a sense of inexplicable crisis surged up.

Before he could take a closer look, a gray divine light swept over.

The Golden Jiao was greatly shocked, watching as his demonic power was forcibly stripped away, falling from the Dao Foundation Late Stage to the Dao Foundation Early Stage.

But it wasn't over yet.

In front of him, a red and white sword light flashed by.

After a long time, there was a thunderous sound like a Buddhist chant.

"Sword Qi... Thunderous Sound!"

The Golden Jiao spat out four words before its huge dragon head fell down.

The wound was as smooth as a mirror.

In the deep sea, thousands of miles away from the Dragon Scale Island.

Inside the Dragon Palace.

The beautiful girl in a golden dress's expression slightly changed, she flicked her finger, but it was empty.

"The Soul Bond has been severed..."

In other words, there was only one possibility, that her eighth brother had died.

"Who could kill my eighth brother? Could it be a human Gold Core cultivator?"

The girl's eyebrows furrowed, her beautiful eyes filled with a chilling killing intent.

...

Pang Yue skillfully took out the Beast Core of the Crimson Blood Golden Jiao and found a peculiar dragon scale on its corpse - the "storage bag" of the Golden Jiao.

After some investigation, Pang Yue was overjoyed.

Inside the dragon scale, besides several Monster Race cultivation techniques, the rest were miscellaneous treasures and rare treasures that were of little use to human cultivators.

But there were two things that caught Pang Yue's attention.

The first was a transparent bead, small in size but extremely heavy, containing nine prohibitions inside, just like the trident used by the Golden Jiao, all of them were Supreme Grade Law Weapons.

The second was a piece of meteorite iron ore. After peeling off the stone coat, the iron ore inside was revealed. It was ethereal and intangible, yet incredibly hard.

Empty Bright Iron Gold!

The main material of the Formless Sword, one of the nine Law Treasures from a previous life!

"Is this here to bring me treasures..."

Pang Yue smiled and thought that the first treasure should be the legendary Sea Calming Pearl, the foundation of a Law Treasure.

In addition to the trident at the beginning, this Crimson Blood Golden Horn has at least brought Pang Yue millions of spirit stones!

After waiting for several days again...

A large blue bird flew from the sky, circled in the air, and then transformed into a sturdy figure with shining light.

He stood in the void, reached out and gently touched what was in front of him, carefully sensing it, and said to himself, "There is a formation, it is indeed an item with an owner."

Suddenly, he spoke, "Zheng Peng of the Eastern Sea, I have heard that there is a Dragon-Scale Fruit in this place and have come specifically to purchase it. I hope the owner of this place will grant me an audience."

His voice was loud, echoing between the sea and the sky.

After a while, a voice came from the island below.

"Not happening. This is an item of the Demon Talisman Sect. Please leave."

Zheng Peng's gaze flickered as he spoke loudly, "That may not be the case. The vast outer sea, are you really the Demon Talisman Sect just because you say so? I request that you come forward. I am willing to pay a high price to purchase the Dragon-Scale Fruit."

"Please leave."

Zheng Peng chuckled, "If you are truly a disciple of the Demon Talisman Sect, why do you not dare to show yourself? Could it be that you are using the name of the Demon Talisman Sect to claim this treasure as your own?"

"The world's treasures belong to the virtuous. Do you think that a mere formation can stop me, Zheng Peng?"

After a moment of silence on the island, someone said, "What do you want?"

Zheng Peng replied confidently, "I want to catch a glimpse of that Dragon-Scale Fruit Tree."

A mocking laughter came from the island, "If you see it, you'll have to take it away with its roots!"

Zheng Peng laughed heartily, "Fellow Daoist, you possess a treasure, yet you let the news leak. Whether you can protect your treasure depends on your abilities. Who can you blame for this?"

The island said, "Since that's the case, come and challenge the formation!"

Suddenly, a gap appeared on Zheng Peng's forehead, and an eyeball opened, looking down.

The illusions in the valley were easily seen through by him.

Although he couldn't clearly see the Great Formation of the Five Mountains, he could vaguely grasp the mechanism and the spiritual luck of the formation.

"It really is the Dragon-Scale Fruit Tree!"

Upon seeing the large tree in the courtyard, Zheng Peng's joy was evident.

What made him even happier was that the person guarding the tree only had a cultivation level of the Third Stage of Dao Foundation!

What kind of formation could be set up with the cultivation level of the Third Stage of Dao Foundation?

At this moment, he only had one thought in his mind - if heaven gives you an opportunity, you must seize it, or you will suffer the consequences!

After weighing the situation, Zheng Peng shouted, "Let me experience your formation, Fellow Daoist!"

With that, he descended onto Dragon-Scale Island like a shooting star!
