The Strongest Family In The Ages

Princess Yongning followed the direction pointed out by Li Daoxuan.

There stood a towering figure, about three zhang tall, completely black like ink, with bone wings on its back, three heads and eight arms. Especially captivating were its blood-red eyes.

Even from a distance, one could feel the immense demonic energy.

This is because the corpse has already been sealed. If the seal is lifted and its true form restored, the power it possesses would be unimaginable.

Yongning smiled and explained, "You have a keen eye. You spotted this guy as soon as you entered the treasure vault."

"This is a demon corpse, and it's the most perfectly preserved one."

Li Daoxuan approached the corpse and asked, "Is this the Heavenly Demon?"

"Hmm? Have you had contact with the Heavenly Demon clan?" Yongning was surprised. The Heavenly Demon clan had long disappeared, and she didn't expect Li Daoxuan to be familiar with them.

"Do Heavenly Demons also appear in the Central Divine Continent?"

"I don't know about that, but this demon corpse was hunted down a long time ago."

Yongning proudly said, "Do you know the strength of this Heavenly Demon when it was alive?"

Li Daoxuan pondered for a moment and replied, "At least at the Mahayana Stage, right?"

"A half-step Transcending Tribulation Stage Great Demon King!"

"Hiss!"

Demon techniques are inherently mysterious, and they are rarely captured alive. Judging from the intact preservation of this demon corpse, one can easily guess the tremendous power that the Great Zhou Dynasty must have used.

"Can I choose this?"

Yongning hesitated, but thinking of her elder brother's words, she nodded, "Yes, you can."

Even Li Daoxuan, who had thick skin, felt a bit embarrassed.

This Heavenly Demon corpse was simply a priceless treasure to him.

It should be noted that Li Daoxuan had quite a bit of research in puppet mechanism techniques, but due to the limitations of materials, the puppets he created had limited strength.

And this Heavenly Demon corpse was undoubtedly the best material.

Li Daoxuan had already decided to refine it into his own external avatar, which would definitely unleash the power of the late Mahayana stage or even the perfect Mahayana stage.

"It's worth it!"

This trip to the imperial palace was truly worthwhile.

"I'll choose him!"

"As for the remaining two treasures, I'll give up on them."

Li Daoxuan also knew that it's wise to leave room for future encounters.

Yongning was taken aback, but then a smile curved on her lips. She felt that Li Daoxuan had good judgment and was not greedy, making him someone worth befriending.

"Are you really not going to choose two more treasures?"

"You should know that this demon corpse is not the most precious thing in this treasure vault."

Li Daoxuan shook his head, "No need!"

"Alright!"

"You can put it away."

Princess Yongning looked at Li Daoxuan with great interest, wanting to see him embarrassed. After all, although the Heavenly Demon's corpse was sealed, the pressure it emitted was not something an ordinary storage spiritual treasure could withstand.

Li Daoxuan smiled faintly and lightly touched the corpse.

Swoosh!

"Hmm?" Princess Yongning was so surprised that her mouth couldn't close.

That easy?

Seeing Li Daoxuan acting as if nothing happened, she could only stomp her foot in frustration.

"Princess, we can leave now."

"Let's go!"

The two quickly left the treasure vault and arrived at the imperial palace, where an old man was already waiting.

As soon as the old man saw them, he approached the princess and said, "Princess, this is what His Majesty instructed me to bring."

"Hmm!"

Yongning took the storage bag. It contained the empty dark stones stored in the Great Zhou's treasury, which had been sent to Li Daoxuan.

After Yongning confirmed that everything was in order, she handed it to Li Daoxuan.

"Take a look. Are these enough as your reward?"

"If it's not enough, I'll ask the Crown Prince for more!"

Li Daoxuan's divine sense swept over the storage bag, and his face couldn't hide his excitement. These empty Ming stones were enough.

He, Li Daoxuan, would soon be able to return to the Eastern Wilderness and return to Longyuan.

He was starting to miss home now!

Yongning personally escorted Li Daoxuan out of the imperial palace before returning to report. Inside the Purple Wei Hall, Emperor Zhou was practicing with his eyes closed. When he sensed Yongning's arrival, he opened his eyes.

"Crown Prince, guess what Li Daoxuan chose?"

"Hehe, you definitely won't guess!"

Emperor Zhou said lightly, "The Heavenly Demon's corpse."

"Ah! How did you know, Crown Prince? Right, that's where you keep your private stash. There must be some means left by you, right?"

Emperor Zhou's mouth twitched. What did she mean by "private stash"?

But Yongning wasn't wrong. There was nothing that could escape his eyes within the imperial palace. He was well aware of every move and action inside the palace.

"Cough cough! Yongning, pay attention to your demeanor."

"Oh! The Crown Prince already knows what treasure Li Daoxuan chose. So, what do you think of him?"

Yongning recounted in detail what had happened in her treasure vault.

"Li Fellow Daoist is... a good person!"

"Pfft! Crown Prince, you're just being perfunctory." Yongning was very dissatisfied with Emperor Zhou's answer.

If Li Daoxuan were here, he would definitely not be able to help but curse. Are you insulting me? You old man, you're the good person!

Insightful! Capable! Knows when to advance and retreat! Mysterious... powerful...

In short, Emperor Zhou's thoughts were quite complicated.

Li Daoxuan returned to his residence and immediately went into seclusion. However, before entering seclusion, he specifically instructed the chubby boy that if anyone asked him to refine pills or artifacts, as long as the reward was generous, he could accept all of them.

Once Li Daoxuan entered the secret chamber, he immediately started to busy himself.

Of course, he wasn't busy refining pills, but rather studying teleportation formations.

With the empty Ming stones, Li Daoxuan could directly refine formation discs and engrave spatial formations.

Outside the secret chamber, the chubby boy was still a bit confused.

He had been drunk before and was awakened directly by Li Daoxuan.

But now the chubby boy was very excited. The boss had actually given him a task, which meant that the boss recognized him.

Li Daoxuan had no choice. There were no usable people in his residence!

The envoys from various countries would probably come back soon and ask Li Daoxuan to refine pills. Those people had extraordinary identities, so he had to find someone with a suitable identity to receive them.

In this way, Li Daoxuan directly pulled the chubby boy up from the bed.

The chubby boy's identity was there, and the next tasks were all entrusted to him.

Li Daoxuan also had no choice but to accumulate as many empty Ming stones as possible, just in case.

Inside the secret chamber, Li Daoxuan frowned.

"Why did it fail again?"

"It shouldn't be like this!"

Li Daoxuan was already an eighth-level formation master, so there shouldn't be any formations that could stump him.

However, the power of space was indeed extremely profound and couldn't be compared to ordinary strength. It was normal for Li Daoxuan to be unable to apply it.

Just then, Li Daoxuan suddenly thought of something.

"Chaotic-colored spiritual power!"

"I wonder if chaotic-colored spiritual power will work?"

Chaotic-colored spiritual power had always been his trump card, used for self-preservation and rarely used in normal circumstances.

Now, the problem Li Daoxuan faced was that ordinary spiritual power couldn't break through space, or even if it did, the spatial teleportation formation disc wouldn't be able to support a spatial channel.

In short, it was a matter of low power level.

And chaotic-colored spiritual power just happened to...

"You're not stupid! This old man can hardly bear to watch anymore." A mocking voice echoed in Li Daoxuan's mind.

"Xiao Lv, why are you popping up again?"

"Are you here to help me refine pills?"

Xiao Lv: "???"
