Become a fairy alone

"The Demon Ancestor Qiu Meng is quite remarkable. He actually used the Origin Dragon Relic to fix the spatial node and prevent the Nine Nether Weak Water from seeping in. What I need is naturally the Origin Dragon Relic." Lu Xiaotian reached out and held up a jade-like black bead that emitted a mesmerizing demonic light.

"The Dream-Separating Pearl!" The Crimson Dream Demon Lord trembled upon seeing the ink pearl, her eyes revealing an unprecedented longing, yet she still maintained a degree of rationality. "The Dragon Lord wishes to bestow this upon this junior?"

"This item is also of some use to our clan's Amethyst Mirage Dragon, but her cultivation level is still too low to use it. I'll lend it to you for a while. How well you can utilize this item during the quest for the Source Dragon Relic will depend on your abilities."

Previously, he created a dream on the Weak Water, making Wen Yan and her group believe that all their companions had perished. He used this item to achieve an unexpected effect.

Creating dreams is both difficult and easy. Lu Xiaotian infiltrated the cave and obtained some books related to dreams, gaining some understanding of this art. However, the art of dreams is not very useful for Lu Xiaotian in improving his combat power.

Maintaining the dream state above the Weak Water was also thanks to the Dream-Separating Pearl; otherwise, it would have been impossible to satisfy powerful figures like Wen Yan.

This item will be of great use to Zi Luo, and it will also be of extraordinary significance to Luo Ping'er's cultivation of illusion techniques. However, it requires a certain level of accumulation at the Sovereign level. Zi Luo is not far from breaking through to the Dragon Sovereign realm, while Luo Ping'er still needs to continue her cultivation, the timeframe of which is uncertain. For a long time, neither of them will need the Qiu Meng Sheng Li Pearl.

However, this item is extraordinary; there may only be one in the world. Even Lu Xiaotian felt it was not worth giving it to the Crimson Dream Demon Lord.

"Thank you, Dragon Lord. When do you think it would be appropriate for me to retrieve the Origin Dragon Relic?" Qiu Meng Demon Lord bowed to Lu Xiaotian before accepting the Qiu Meng Saint Pearl with both hands. His face was full of piety, almost like a devotion to the Dao.

Although Lu Xiaotian said he was lending her this item, she wouldn't actually gain much benefit from it in the short term. It would only provide some help, and her words just now were merely a test of Lu Xiaotian's attitude.

It seems the Dragon Lord doesn't intend to give this item to an outsider. She knows Lu Xiaotian did this to increase her chances of survival within the Nine Nether Weak Waters, so she can help him retrieve the treasure.

If the other party still wants to use her, that's fine. But once she's no longer of any use, the Crimson Dream Demon Lord doesn't dare to think about his own fate, and he certainly won't let her go easily.

The Crimson Dream Demon Lord was somewhat curious as to why Lu Xiaotian, with his Heavenly Dragon Realm strength, didn't go to retrieve it himself, but instead relied on her to do it.

Since Lu Xiaotian didn't say anything, she naturally didn't dare to ask any more questions. Even if she really angered the other party, the Crimson Dream Demon Lord didn't think he was irreplaceable.

The opponent has countless capable people under their command, including powerful individuals who have cultivated the origin of laws. If they really wanted to, it wouldn't be impossible for them to replace her in order to retrieve the Origin Dragon Relic.

"I haven't decided where to start yet. You have about a month to try to understand the mysteries within the Qiu Meng Sheng Li Zhu Zhu on your own."

After Lu Xiaotian finished speaking, he ignored the other party and simply stood at the bow of the boat with his hands clasped, looking towards the endless Nine Nether Weak Water at its end, as if he was pondering something.

Upon hearing this, the Crimson Dream Demon Lord sat down cross-legged on the other end of the Floating Life Bone Boat. She did not immediately try to obtain anything from the Dream Saint Pearl, but instead calmed her own mind first.

Previously, in order to help Wen Yan understand the profound mysteries of life and death, Lu Xiaotian also inadvertently gave the Crimson Dream Demon Lord this wondrous experience. Incorporating this experience into her own dream world would have a greater effect on improving her cultivation for a certain period.

Naturally, the Crimson Dream Demon Lord would not focus all his energy on stabilizing his realm. He spent half a month consolidating his insights from the life-and-death barrier and the other half a month extracting useful information from the Dream Saint Pearl.

Including the portion of power left behind by the Demon Ancestor Qiu Meng, the two cultivation techniques share the same origin, but the Demon Ancestor Qiu Meng's realm is far superior to hers.

For now, the power she can absorb is extremely limited. This includes not only a portion of the power of the Qiu Meng Demon Ancestor, but also a realm far beyond her own. Without sufficient cultivation, blindly refining this power would be tantamount to suicide.

Once you become familiar with its aura, you can use it to resist the Nine Nether Weak Waters.

Only a very faint trace was extracted from it. After the demonic essence and law power within the Crimson Dream Demon Lord's body were affected, they surged wildly, showing signs of going out of control.

Upon seeing this, the Crimson Dream Demon Lord was terrified. She had been extremely careful in absorbing this power, but unexpectedly, something still went wrong. The one-month deadline had arrived, and in her current state, entering the Nine Nether Weak Water would surely lead to her death; she couldn't even last for the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea.

Just as she was feeling anxious, a gentle yet irresistible force suddenly emanated from the Dream Saint Pearl, causing the treasure she had been longing for to leave her in the blink of an eye and fly directly into Lu Xiaotian's hand.

"Continue refining, don't get distracted!" Lu Xiaotian frowned and glanced at the Crimson Dream Demon Lord, somewhat annoyed as he retrieved the Dragon Dream Sacred Pearl.

At this moment, he noticed a relatively easy-to-obtain source dragon relic below. If things went smoothly, as long as the Crimson Dream Demon Lord was careful, there was a 50% chance of success.

Unexpectedly, at the crucial moment, the opponent encountered a problem while absorbing the demonic power from the Qiu Meng Sheng Li Pearl, causing instability in their internal power. Now, they can only postpone it.

These Nine Nether Weak Waters appear unchanging on the surface, as calm as a bluish-black mirror without a ripple, but in reality, the places where they surge from the spatial nodes are unpredictable.

Lu Xiaotian also relied on the Sky Heaven Cauldron and spent a lot of effort, and even had a certain element of luck, to find one of the relatively easy locations. If he missed the opportunity, finding the location again next time would undoubtedly involve many more variables.

Even with the strength of his primordial spirit, it would still take a considerable amount of effort to find the spatial node below through the unfathomably deep Nine Nether Weak Water.

However, this matter cannot be blamed on the Crimson Dream Demon Lord, as he gave too tight a deadline.

Moreover, he underestimated the demonic power within the Qiu Meng Sheng Li Pearl. After all, it was a crystallization of cultivation left behind by the Qiu Meng Demon Ancestor, and its power was far beyond the reach of the Chi Meng Demon Lord.

The Source Dragon Relic was a great treasure to Lu Xiaotian. He had come to the lair of the Qiu Meng Demon Ancestor, saved Wen Yan and her group's lives, and was also able to find the Source Dragon Relic, which was a pleasant surprise.

Lu Xiaotian's anger flashed by, but good things often come with difficulties; nothing in this world is ever smooth sailing.

His gaze swept over the surface of the Nine Nether Weak Water again; he had seen a similar Weak Water at Zhuyou Mountain.

When the Immortal-Demon Battlefield first opened, he was forced to enter, and his first stop was Zhuyou Mountain.

The strange liquid within Zhuyou Mountain also possesses characteristics similar to the Nine Nether Weak Water, only far less potent. It's like a much diluted version of the Nine Nether Weak Water.

A thought suddenly flashed through Lu Xiaotian's mind: if it wasn't some powerful being who deliberately brought the Nine Nether Weak Water to Zhuyou Mountain, would there be some kind of connection between Zhuyou Mountain and this place?
Some of the Nine Nether Weak Water was transferred to other places through spatial rifts or similar means, including Zhuyou Mountain? Back then, Pig Seven, his Daoist partner Chi Min, and several other dragons with exceptional potential were trapped in Zhuyou Mountain, including Wen He, who possessed the bloodline of the Void Hidden Dragon Clan and was naturally skilled in cultivating spatial laws. I wonder how they are doing now.

He shook his head, casting aside these distracting thoughts. Given the current state of the Dragon Domain, it could face a fierce attack from the Four Heavenly Emperors at any moment. Perhaps it wouldn't be a bad thing for them if Zhu Qi, Chi Min, or Wen He were unexpectedly kept away. Of course, that's assuming they're still alive.

If possible, it would be even better to let Xiang Qingcheng, Luo Qing, and their group leave the Dragon Domain and hide in a safe place.

However, Lu Xiaotian was unaware that this was unrealistic. Unless the Dragon Domain collapsed and he was defeated by the Four Heavenly Emperors, Xiang Qingcheng and her group could not leave. If that happened, no matter what the outcome, Lu Xiaotian and Xiang Qingcheng could accept it.

Before they failed, they had fought and strived together, so they had no regrets.

A dozen days later, Lu Xiaotian frowned slightly. As expected, he had lost his connection with the Origin Dragon Relic.

There is more than one Origin Dragon Relic beneath the Nine Nether Weak Water. Lu Xiaotian did not deliberately choose any one. The spatial nodes are constantly changing under the pressure of the Nine Nether Weak Water. He would take whichever one he could sense and was relatively easier to obtain.

The reason why they didn't take action themselves but instead relied on the Crimson Dream Demon Lord was that the location of the node was relatively vulnerable.

Qiu Meng Demon Lord was in a very difficult situation before, and his strength had declined drastically. It was only when the other party activated the restriction that Lu Xiaotian discovered that this guy had not fully activated the restriction because his strength had declined too much.

This makes these spatial nodes unstable, and it is extremely dangerous for powerful beings at the level of Immortal Lords or Dragon Lords to retrieve treasures from them.

If Lu Xiaotian were to take action himself, the spatial node would collapse, and although the Nine Nether Weak Water wouldn't threaten his life, it could very well destroy the Origin Dragon Relic inside. In that case, wouldn't all his efforts be in vain?

As for the other factor, Lu Xiaotian's eyes suddenly became deep and thoughtful.

Beyond that spatial node, a faintly powerful aura emanated, seemingly with a hint of familiarity. If such a formidable being truly existed, its strength might not be inferior to that of the Qiu Meng Demon Ancestor.

In order not to alert the other party, Lu Xiaotian could not possibly make any rash moves.

Using the Crimson Dream Demon Lord for the time being is a relatively safe option and one of the few feasible solutions.

Jin Tong and Wen Yan are stronger than Chi Meng Demon Lord, and their sensitivity to the Origin Dragon Relic is also far superior. However, these two are the backbone of the Dragon Clan army, and good steel should be used where it counts. Lu Xiaotian was reluctant to send these two elite combatants out to take risks.

Sensing the intermittent spatial nodes beneath the Nine Nether Weak Water and the faint fluctuations of the relic, there were two more opportunities, but they were missed because the Crimson Dream Demon Lord failed to clarify the turbulent currents within his body.

Sixty years have passed in the blink of an eye, and Wen Yan, Jin Tong, and several other dragon lords have led the dragon clan and the main force of the demon dragon clan back to the vicinity of the dragon domain.

At this time, the Dragon Domain was based in several large cities, and with the two powerful figures Yan Ji and Ji Ting stationed there, it was as solid as a rock.

The Golden Wind Caterpillar Emperor and his wife, the Silver-Winged Corpse Puller, and the Blood Wind Fox Lord who wanted to take advantage of the situation were all afraid of these two powerful beings of the origin, and could only stay on the periphery, not daring to cross the line.

After all, they were beings of the same realm. These old monsters were too cautious and had their clans to protect them, so they would not choose to confront them head-on. If anything went wrong, they would flee far away.

Once Yan Ji or Ji Ting withdraws, the other party will stick to them like glue. Since the Dragon Lord has not returned, they are only thinking about taking advantage of any opportunity and have no intention of forcibly taking over the important strongholds of the Dragon Domain.

While countless juniors are entangled with the Dragon Realm, they can also plunder some treasures from it. There will definitely be casualties among the juniors, but compared with the gains, these casualties are worthwhile.

Those who have nothing to lose are not afraid of those who have something to lose. The Dragon Realm has accumulated too many treasures, including various immortal plants, Buddhist sacred objects, and items needed for cultivation by the dragon and bat races, which have been cultivated for a considerable period of time.

These are the foundation for the various races of the Dragon Realm to recuperate and thrive. Without these things, the strength of each race would be difficult to sustain, and they would inevitably split up sooner or later.

Currently, various races are fighting fiercely on the edge of the Dragon Domain, but the battle has not yet reached the core of the Dragon Domain. This is why Yan Ji and Ji Ting are too lazy to pay attention to the other side, as it is inconvenient in many ways.

The Golden Wind Caterpillar Emperor and his wife, along with several other old monsters, became even more blatant because of this. Several thousand years have passed, and the dragon army that conquered Seven Stacks Island has still not returned.

Although the forces under the Qiu Meng Demon Palace were defeated in the Dragon Domain, they managed to withdraw a significant portion of their forces. With numerous defensive barriers and a clear geographical advantage, it's understandable that they were able to hold off the main dragon force. Battles of this scale sometimes last tens of thousands of years, or even longer, and are not uncommon.

In short, the more benefits they gain, the more their greed is naturally aroused.

The entire outer perimeter had become a battlefield, with the Golden Wind Caterpillar Emperor and his wife, the Silver-Winged Corpse Puller, and the Blood Wind Fox Lord each tacitly taking charge of their respective areas. They neither engaged in a decisive battle with their adversary nor retreated, but rather used this relatively unhurried method to bleed the Dragon Realm dry.

There will be losses for the community, but we've also gained a lot of benefits, and that's enough.

Patrol squads, or even hundreds or thousands of small battles, were constantly unfolding everywhere, while the four old monsters, Bloodthirsty Fox Lord, each sat leisurely in their respective areas.

The entire outer perimeter of the Dragon Domain was filled with a bloodthirsty aura. Over the years, countless battles, large and small, had erupted around the Dragon Domain. Since the Green Fruit Barrier took root, the fighting had been almost constant. Moreover, the scale of each major battle was extraordinary.

As the most powerful race in several realms, the Dragon Clan's path to revival will inevitably be fraught with thorns and bloodshed.

The other races, as long as they live in the Dragon Realm, will also undergo the same baptism.

The sky remained overcast, and the Golden Wind Caterpillar and his wife methodically directed their tribe's attack. Suddenly, a silver light shot through the air from afar. Upon seeing the silver light, the Golden Wind Caterpillar's expression changed, and he reached out and caught it.

"Mithril Wind Letter! A reply from Seven-Layer Island?" Golden Wind Mother exclaimed in surprise. They had led their tribe to attack the Dragon Domain, conducting extensive probing beforehand and also sending spies to monitor the movements of Seven-Layer Island. (End of Chapter)
