I conquer the immortal with my strength.

Chapter 548 Dragon Palace
Seeing his master protecting him, Xia Daoming felt at ease and sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, his consciousness sinking into the Yellow Court.

At this moment, within the Yellow Court, the Banner of Ten Thousand Ghosts was floating in front of the primordial spirit.

A sea dragon emerged from the banner, its body bound by chains, struggling to break free from the shackles of the Ten Thousand Ghosts Banner.

A mysterious power emanated from the branches of the Crimson Palace Fire Phoenix Tree, flowing along the Human-Earth Mysterious Pivot and into the Yellow Court, continuously refining the demonic energy on the sea dragon's body.

Black energy continuously escaped from the sea dragon's body and vanished into nothingness.

The sea dragon, which was originally pitch black and exuded a bloodthirsty, ferocious, chaotic, and eerie aura, gradually turned white, and its aura also changed.

It has become majestic, weathered, and domineering...

It clearly possessed the aura of a true dragon.

This dragon is not powerful; it can only be considered a miscellaneous dragon. However, after a long period of time, the dragon soul essence that has survived is the purest, a very small portion that has returned to its origin.

It already possesses some characteristics of a true dragon.

The dragon soul essence, stripped of its demonic nature and returned to its origin as a dragon, was pulled back into the Myriad Ghost Banner and disappeared.

The primordial spirit closed its eyes, appearing dignified and solemn.

An hour passed.

The primordial spirit suddenly opened its eyes, a look of surprise on its face.

At the same time, a phantom of a dragon flew out from the Ten Thousand Ghosts Banner and flew into the Crimson Palace along the Human Earth Mystic Pivot.

The crimson palace was engulfed in flames, swallowing the phantom of the dragon.

Soon, the sounds of dragons roaring and tigers howling rang out.

Above the Crimson Palace, a real dragon and a white tiger appeared.

As the dragon and tiger converged, wisps of mysterious power fell like sweet rain, nourishing the Crimson Palace.

The Crimson Palace grew stronger and more resilient.

First, the Crimson Prison Sect absorbed and refined the essence of the White Tiger; now, the Nightmare Sea absorbs and refines the essence of the Dragon Soul.

The convergence of the dragon and tiger's essences complemented each other, bringing Xia Daoming even more benefits.

After refining the essence of the dragon soul, Xia Daoming slowly opened his eyes.

"How is it?" Zuo Dongge asked hurriedly when he saw Xia Daoming wake up from his meditation.

"A great opportunity!" Xia Daoming said with a joyful expression.

"What great opportunity?" Zuo Dongge's heart skipped a beat, his eyes lit up, and he asked impatiently.

Having killed so many Nascent Soul cultivators and collected so many spoils of war, his disciple casually accepted them without even glancing at them. Yet now he's beaming with joy, talking about a great opportunity. It must be an extraordinary one.

Zuo Dongge could not help but be excited.

"I just searched the dragon soul's essence and learned from its remaining chaotic thoughts that although the Dragon Palace was completely destroyed in the great war between the dragon and the demon, a part of a palace nearby was forcibly torn apart by a dragon elder with powerful magic. He then used a method of concealment to hide part of the palace within the barrier space."

"That's why dragon soul essence lingers in the depths of this sea, near that barrier space. The dragon soul essence that disciple just refined, because it was too tainted with demonic energy, has gradually moved away from that barrier space and is now stirring up storms at sea," Xia Daoming replied.

"Can we find the barrier space that houses part of the palace?" Upon hearing this, Zuo Dongge's face flushed red, like a hot-blooded youth.

There's no way around it; the dragon race is incredibly powerful! Even a mortal dragon from the lower realms is still formidable.

Moreover, the dragons of the Nightmare Sea have lived in this sea area for countless ages.

Generally speaking, the earlier the dragon race, the purer its bloodline and the stronger it is.

Even if it's just a part of their palace, the things stored inside are extremely valuable to them.

Zuo Dongge had heard Yao Xi and her attendants mention more than once over the past year that one of the things the Imperial Inspectors always did when they were on duty at Beizhen Lushan was to inspect and explore the Nightmare Sea.

Unfortunately, so far, there has been no news of the Celestial Envoy making any discoveries.

Of course, even if something is discovered, the Celestial Envoy will not reveal it.

But regardless, this at least shows that the dragon's legacy is extremely unusual!

"Master, have you forgotten that I have cultivated the Heavenly Eye Divine Power and am proficient in the Dragon Clan's methods of concealment and disguise? If there is no general location for that place, even if I were given hundreds or thousands of years, I would not be able to find it."

"But now that we have a general idea of ​​the location, I think we can find it eventually if we spend some time on it," Xia Daoming said confidently.

"Haha! Your master almost forgot! Even if that barrier space is right in front of you, others might not be able to detect it, but it definitely won't escape your Heavenly Eye Divine Power!" Zuo Dongge was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, and then burst into laughter.

However, Zuo Dongge quickly remembered something, his expression changed slightly, and he said, "I heard that the Imperial Inspectors of each generation would come to the Nightmare Sea to search it. We must not let them beat us to it."

"With the help of the Netherworld Ghost Fire Divine Weapon and the Ten Thousand Ghost Banner refined by the Heavenly Tribulation, I was able to use my divine sense to search for the residual mental information hidden in the dragon soul's essence. Those supervising immortal envoys should not have the Ten Thousand Ghost Banner refined by the Heavenly Tribulation, and it is even more impossible for them to have the Netherworld Ghost Fire Divine Weapon."

Therefore, even though the divine senses of the past imperial envoys were far stronger than those of their disciples, they certainly wouldn't be able to search the dragon's soul essence while refining it. So, unless they stumbled upon the place where the palace was hidden by sheer chance, they shouldn't have been able to find it before them," Xia Daoming replied.

"That's good, that's good!" Zuo Dongge was finally relieved. "But to avoid any unforeseen complications, we should hurry up and go search for it."

“Master is right.” Xia Daoming nodded, then released the Yin-Yang Two Elements Sword, which transformed into two black and white dragons, carrying the two of them all the way to the seabed.

The demonic energy at the bottom of the sea is far more concentrated than that on the surface.

The aura of the Fire Phoenix Tree branches was released along the Yin-Yang Two Elements Sword, causing the demonic energy in the seabed to be annihilated as soon as it touched the sword light, protecting Zuo Dongge under the sword light, so that he was not touched by any demonic energy.

Because the remaining consciousness of that dragon soul essence is very chaotic and fragmented, it is impossible to pinpoint the location of the sea area where the palace is hidden through those means. A lot of deduction and elimination are needed before it can be finally located.

Therefore, after entering the seabed, Xia Daoming used his sword to travel back and forth in search of the sea.

After several dozen days, Xia Daoming, riding his sword, led Zuo Dongge to a mountain range on the seabed that resembled a giant dragon coiled up, with towering peaks.

"The remnant of the dragon soul in this mountain range contains images of multiple dragons frolicking and playing here. The palace should be hidden somewhere in the spatial barrier of this underwater mountain range."

Xia Daoming's eyes lit up suddenly, and his face showed surprise.

"Finally, we've got a lead!" Zuo Dongge exclaimed with delight upon hearing this.

The mountain range stretches for over 100,000 miles.

Even though Xia Daoming was very confident that the palace was hidden in these mountains, it would be extremely difficult to find it.

In the days that followed, Xia Daoming and his apprentice searched day and night in this underwater mountain range.

A pair of eyes gleamed with golden light, like beams of light, scanning back and forth on the seabed.

　That concludes today's update.
