Peach Blossom Mountain Liu Jiaxiu's Biography

Chapter 1458 A great harvest
Liu Changxu carefully stored the mid-grade ninth-tier Burning Heaven Crystal he had obtained into his storage ring, feeling quite satisfied. Afterwards, when searching for spiritual items, he became even more meticulous—his divine sense, like an invisible net, slowly spread across the newly conquered land, sweeping inch by inch over mountains, ravines, and deep forests.

As his divine sense repeatedly cleansed him, everything about this land became increasingly clear in his mind.

Where are the veins containing spiritual gold hidden, which dense forests grow ancient medicinal herbs, and even the course of underground rivers and the density of rock strata are gradually imprinted in my mind.

The spiritual auras that ordinary cultivators could hardly detect were completely exposed to his keen divine sense. Each subtle discovery deepened his understanding of this territory, as if he were personally unveiling its mysterious veil.

However, most of the spiritual objects that Liu Changxu discovered with his divine sense were of low quality and of little use to someone of his level, so he simply ignored them and left them as opportunities for his wife and children to explore on their own in the future.

Before long, he arrived at the foot of a majestic volcano, which was also the location of the ninth-grade mid-level spiritual vein of Fireland Island.

This mountain is over 100,000 feet high, its body as black as ink jade, and its top pierces the sky, as if it wants to tear a crack in the heavens.

The crater is vast, with scorching magma churning like waves. Thick smoke, carrying the smell of sulfur, shoots straight into the sky, and crimson fire dragons occasionally burst forth, with the power to scorch mountains and boil seas, distorting the surrounding air.

Liu Changxu stood in the void, his gaze piercing through the heatwave and landing on the depths of the churning volcano. He raised an eyebrow slightly, thinking that this place where such violent fire energy gathered might hold what he truly desired.

Sure enough, as his divine sense penetrated through layers of scorching magma, Liu Changxu quickly caught a familiar glimmer of light at a depth of 50,000 feet. He soon recognized it as a low-grade ninth-order Burning Heaven Crystal.

After storing the Heaven-Burning Crystal in his storage bracelet, Liu Changxu did not stop exploring; his divine sense continued to descend. When he reached 70,000 feet, another piece of ore containing violent fire attribute energy came into his perception. It was actually a mid-grade ninth-rank Crimson Flame Black Iron, its texture becoming increasingly pure under the tempering of magma.

……

When his divine sense probed into the core of the magma, 130,000 feet deep, a faint yet peculiar spatial fluctuation caught his attention.

Upon closer inspection, the source of the fluctuations turned out to be the entrance to a secret realm surrounded by magma, with dragon-shaped patterns faintly visible at the edge of the realm.

This must be the hiding place of the ninth-tier fire dragon that he killed before, and it must contain many treasures accumulated by the fire dragon.

A sharp glint flashed in Liu Changxu's eyes, and his figure, like a pale blue streak of light, instantly darted towards the entrance of the secret realm. The churning crimson magma around him spewed forth scorching waves of heat, but upon touching the pale blue spiritual energy shield surrounding him, it all dissipated as if encountering boiling water against solid ice, not even a trace of heat could get close. In just a few breaths, he stood firmly before the entrance to the Dragon Palace Secret Realm.

The barrier at the entrance emanated layers of pale golden light, and the flowing runes exuded a chilling pressure, making it impossible for ordinary cultivators to get close.

But Liu Changxu merely swayed slightly before passing through the seemingly unbreakable barrier and disappearing into the secret realm.

The Dragon Palace Secret Realm: Upon entering the Dragon Palace Secret Realm, one is greeted by a vast expanse of azure sea, its blue waves stretching for thousands of miles. The sea surface is like the most translucent sapphire, reflecting the shimmering dome above, with sparkling waves that seem to be sprinkled with shattered stars.

In the very center of this vast sea, a beautiful palace floats serenely on its surface. Its steps are made of white jade, its tiles of glazed tiles, and the golden dragon sculptures on the roof are sharply defined, as if poised to soar into the clouds at any moment. Vermilion pillars are adorned with water patterns carved from green jade, their surface shimmering with a warm glow in the reflection of the water. Occasionally, a few brightly colored fish leap from the water, skimming over the palace's eaves, adding to its ethereal and otherworldly beauty.

Liu Changxu stood in the void, gazing at the azure sea below and the palace on its surface, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. He hadn't expected that the dragon palace of the fire dragon would actually float on the sea. The sea breeze, carrying a faint saltiness and spiritual energy, blew by, stirring his robes and adding to the otherworldly tranquility and majesty of this secret realm.

Liu Changxu's divine sense was like an invisible net, instantly enveloping the entire sea. The coral reefs, swimming spirit fish, hidden reefs, and even the undercurrents in the deep trenches were all exposed to his divine sense, yet he still could not find any trace of the ninth-tier spiritual plant.

His brows furrowed slightly, and his figure suddenly became ethereal, before solidifying again to stand steadily before the white jade steps of the Dragon Palace. The pearls inlaid on the vermilion gate gleamed warmly in the sea light, and the door knockers were two intertwined golden carp, the patterns on their scales clearly visible.

Liu Changxu raised his hand and gently pushed, and the heavy palace gate slowly opened, revealing a magnificent and dazzling palace. Countless crystal beads were embedded in the dome, illuminating the interior as if it were daytime. The golden brick floor reflected the crystal lamps hanging above, making it almost impossible to open one's eyes.

He stepped into the palace, his divine sense sweeping across every corner like a tidal wave. In a short while, the aura of the ninth-tier spiritual object hidden there was clearly imprinted in his perception.

Liu Changxu's figure blurred, and he appeared in front of the treasure vault. Pushing open the door, he saw various high-grade pearls piled up on the ground like small mountains, the warm luster of spirit jade reflecting off the walls, and countless spirit gold ores scattered around.

Suppressing his excitement, Liu Changxu began selecting ninth-tier spiritual items from the room.

Before long, Liu Changxu selected the ninth-grade spiritual items in the room, including: three pieces of ninth-grade high-quality Burning Heaven Crystal, twenty-six pieces of ninth-grade mid-quality spiritual materials, thirty-five pieces of ninth-grade low-quality spiritual materials, one ninth-grade high-quality spiritual herb Crimson Flame Ganoderma, and so on.

After selecting the ninth-tier spiritual items he needed and storing them in his storage bracelet, Liu Changxu also stored the remaining spiritual items in another storage bracelet, intending to distribute them to his wife and children.

Next, Liu Changxu went to other rooms and looted all the high-level spiritual items inside, storing them all in his storage bracelet before leaving the Dragon Palace.

After leaving the Dragon Palace, Liu Changxu had a thought, and the Ruyi Lotus Palace instantly flew out, then took the enormous Dragon Palace into it.

He then left the Dragon Palace Secret Realm and returned to the volcano.

As soon as Liu Changxu returned to the volcano's crater, his wife Duan Yuwei, Wu Xuege, and other women gathered around him. Judging from their excited expressions, they had clearly made a great haul.

"Your Majesty, is the cave of that ninth-tier fire dragon located deep within this magma?"

Duan Yuwei asked with a smile:

"Mm." Liu Changxu replied gently, "These are high-level spiritual items I found in the Dragon Palace. Put them all in the family treasury."

"Your Majesty, what should we do next?"

Duan Yuwei asked:
"Issue my decree: hasten the deployment of the island's protective formation."

Liu Changxu gave the instructions:
