Chapter 826: Chapter 826: Sleeping Beauty of the Sun Moon Realm
"Black Demon Continent," Yang Xiaotian gazed at the continent before him shrouded in a thin layer of the black Demonic Qi in the high sky and then steered the flying ship toward an approaching city.
He planned to first visit the nearby city to inquire about the matters of the Sun Moon Realm, and then head to the Sun Moon Realm to subdue the Sun Moon Divine Flame.
Over the years, he had been eager to cultivate and never had the time to visit the Black Demon Continent. This time, he intended to subdue the Sun Moon Divine Flame first, before seeking the disciple known as the Master of Time.
After arriving at the nearby city, Yang Xiaotian and his companions went straight to an inn where they ordered wine and casually asked the tavern servants about the Sun Moon Realm.
As expected, upon hearing about the Sun Moon Realm, the tavern servant prattled on to Yang Xiaotian about the odd and bizarre events that occurred in the Sun Moon Realm.
The Sun Moon Realm was extremely renowned on the Black Demon Continent; in Ancient Times, it had been the foremost power on the Black Demon Continent, but it was rumored that the Sun Moon Master had acquired a Sleeping Beauty.
This Sleeping Beauty, though in a state of slumber, was of unparalleled beauty, her entire being exuding an ultimate temptation.
Later, someone leaked out that the Sleeping Beauty possessed the secret of a Chaos Divine Artifact, which attracted the influx of powerhouses from all over the Black Demon Continent to the Sun Moon Realm to snatch away the Sleeping Beauty, leading to a cataclysmic war.
The Sun Moon Master refused to hand over the Sleeping Beauty, and after suffering assaults from powerhouses on all sides, the Sun Moon Realm fell into decline and gradually perished in the rivers of time.
Already in Ancient Times, the Sun Moon Realm had become a land of death.
Yet to this day, countless powerhouses continue to flock to the Sun Moon Realm, not only in search of the Realm’s treasures but also to find the legendary Sleeping Beauty.
Not just because of the Chaos Divine Artifact rumored to be hidden within the Sleeping Beauty but also to behold her beauty for themselves.
To see if the legendary Sleeping Beauty was truly indescribably beautiful.
However, as years passed, no one had succeeded in acquiring the treasures of the Sun Moon Realm, nor had anyone found the legendary Sleeping Beauty.
Furthermore, many who ventured into the Sun Moon Realm mysteriously disappeared, never to be seen again.
Some said they were bewitched by the Sleeping Beauty, destined to stay forever in the Sun Moon Realm as soulless beings, while others believed those people merely stumbled upon the Realm’s Grand Array Restrictions, getting trapped within a massive array, unable to escape.
There were also whispers that these individuals met their end in the Sun Moon Lake.
After a detailed inquiry, Yang Xiaotian gave the tavern servant several Divine Grade Spirit Stones, who bowed gratefully before departing.
"Sleeping Beauty," Yang Xiaotian murmured.
He too was curious about this Sleeping Beauty from the tales of the Sun Moon Realm, knowing that in Ancient Times, the Sun Moon Realm was the first force on the Black Demon Continent and had fallen because of this Sleeping Beauty.
"Sleeping Beauty," the Azure Blood Dragon Ancestor also ruminated.
He had once ventured into the Sun Moon Realm and sought the Sleeping Beauty himself, but encountered a Corpse Demon of the Realm, nearly losing his life there.
The next day.
Yang Xiaotian, along with the Azure Blood Dragon Ancestor and Black Dog, left the city, heading toward the Sun Moon Realm.
Days later, Yang Xiaotian and his companions arrived at the Sun Moon Realm.
In the land ahead, even during daylight, the ground was enveloped in a layer of gray mist. These mists, flowing unusually, would sometimes swirl rapidly and at other times move so slowly as to appear stagnant, just like a river that hastens and slows intermittently.
Yang Xiaotian and the others set foot on the soil of the Sun Moon Realm.
The ground of the Sun Moon Realm was loose and sandy, emitting a squeaking noise when stepped on.
Though it was only the periphery, Yang Xiaotian still cautiously activated the seventeen Heavenly Emperor Seals at his brow.
To Yang Xiaotian’s relief, the power of the Heavenly Emperor Seals remained effective against the Grand Array Restrictions of the Sun Moon Realm, allowing him to feel the surroundings’ Restriction Arrays clearly.
Back in the Sky Demon God Temple, the power of the Heavenly Emperor Seals had once failed.
Yang Xiaotian and the Azure Blood Dragon Ancestor were extremely cautious and vigilant, whereas Black Dog seemed indifferent, ambling carelessly.
Yang Xiaotian and Azure Blood Dragon Ancestor carefully avoided the Great Array Restrictions, but the Black Dog simply passed through them. To Yang Xiaotian’s surprise, the restrictions did not attack the Black Dog.
The Black Dog seemed to be in a formless and insubstantial state.
With its front legs raised, the Black Dog gestured to Yang Xiaotian.
"Are you saying that I will be able to do the same in the future?" Xiaotian asked.
Having spent days together, Xiaotian could generally understand what the Black Dog was trying to convey.
"Look, about how long will it take me to achieve that?" Xiaotian asked with a smile.
The Black Dog raised a single finger, then wrote a character for ’ten thousand’ on the ground.
"Ten thousand years?" Xiaotian was speechless and too lazy to pay any more attention to the Black Dog, then he continued on his way.
Along the road, they encountered several groups of Sect experts who had also entered the Sun Moon Realm, but everyone was peaceful and simply passed by each other.
These people were all surprised when they saw the Black Dog by Xiaotian’s side.
Apparently, they did not expect anyone to bring a dog into the Sun Moon Realm.
Night fell.
At night, the Corpse Demons in the Sun Moon Realm became unusually active, and with the dense fog thickening, both vision and Soul Power were obstructed, so Xiaotian and his group decided to find a valley to rest for the night, planning to continue their journey at dawn.
Soon, a campfire rose.
The warmth of the campfire dispelled the cold around them.
Xiaotian sat by the campfire, circulating his Cultivation Technique to practice.
After refining and assimilating the several thousand strands of Origin Qi and Primordial Universe Qi gifted by his Senior Brother, he had broken through to the middle period of the Eightfold Heavenly God level, and his Origin Divine Body also made a breakthrough to the middle period of the Twelve-Fold level.
His Primordial Universe Divine Body was even higher, having reached the late period of Sixteen Layers, nearly approaching the Seventeenth Layer, and was currently the fastest progressing among his four Divine Bodies.
His Eternal Divine Body was at the mid Sixteen Layers period, while his Primordial Heaven Destiny God Body was at the late Fifteenth Layer.
Azure Blood Dragon Ancestor watched Xiaotian practicing, filled with both amazement, reverence, and admiration.
It was unbelievable that he, a mighty Fourth Layer Divine King, felt reverence and admiration for a Heavenly God, and no one might believe it if told. However, these were Azure Blood Dragon Ancestor’s most genuine feelings at the moment.
Seeing Xiaotian circulating three types of Cultivation Techniques at once, Black Dog also watched him with great interest, seemingly studying how Xiaotian managed to do it.
After observing for a while, it likewise sat cross-legged, attempting to circulate three Cultivation Techniques at the same time.
However, no matter how hard it tried, it could not manage to practice three Cultivation Techniques simultaneously.
In its furious effort, it ended up blasting out several loud farts.
The blasts caused wild winds to howl through the valley.
The blasts echoed continuously in the valley.
Azure Blood Dragon Ancestor was left dumbfounded. Could that really work?
After blasting out several loud farts, the Black Dog also felt a bit embarrassed and stopped, giving Azure Blood Dragon Ancestor a glare that scared him into hastily looking away, focusing only on the roasted meat in his hands.
Night passed.
As dawn broke and the fog thinned, Corpse Demons gradually became scarce, and Xiaotian and his companions continued on their way.
Not long after Xiaotian and the others resumed their journey, they suddenly heard an angry shout ahead: "Luo Jin, don’t go too far!"
