I conquer the immortal with my strength.

Chapter 552 Hidden dangers
"One yuan of heavy water!"

Xia Daoming's eyes narrowed sharply, and he blurted out in surprise.

One-element heavy water, one of the ancient true waters.

It looks just like ordinary river water, but a single drop weighs tens of thousands of kilograms.

A mass of heavy water fell like a mountain pressing down on you, making it unbearable.

Moreover, the elemental heavy water is water, and its shape can be freely changed and transformed.

From the perspective of pure physical force attack, this true water is the most powerful.

"I found this Yuan Heavy Water by chance in a certain sea area of ​​Beizhenhai. I have always wanted to refine it, but unfortunately, firstly, I have only just begun to understand the method of refining this water, and secondly, most of my cultivation is pinned down by the Dragon-Locking Nail, so I have not been able to successfully refine it."

A single drop of this water weighs as much as ten thousand pounds. With your current cultivation level, you must not attempt to refine it, or you will explode and die.

Cang Yuan spoke again to explain and give further instructions.

"Thank you for your guidance, senior." Xia Daoming suppressed his surprise and put the bone box away.
-
a few days later.

In the depths of the Nightmare Sea, a violent spatial distortion and upheaval suddenly occurred in the crevice between two rocks in a valley.

A black and white sword light, carrying two figures, shot out from the distorted and turbulent space, and then flew swiftly out of the valley without stopping for a moment.

"Boom! Boom!"

The moment the black and white sword light flew away from the valley, the space where it had just left collapsed, forming a black hole that sucked in the surrounding rocks and seawater.

In just a few breaths, the entire valley was swept away.

Xia Daoming and Zuo Dongge, who were watching the sword light, felt a chill run down their spines.

The collapse of space is truly terrifying, far beyond what they can currently withstand.

"Fortunately, I got along well with that wisp of dragon soul essence from Senior Cangyuan just now and did not go against its will, allowing it to enter my Yellow Court and place a restrictive talisman on my primordial spirit. Otherwise, if it had triggered the restrictions of this cave heaven barrier, my master and I would definitely have died without a burial place."

As the collapsed space in the distance gradually returned to calm, the seawater returned and filled the flattened seabed space. Xia Daoming recalled his experience of communicating with Cang Yuan in the cave barrier, and felt a wave of fear and relief.

"Daoming, we've struck it rich this time! Let's hurry back to the Taicang Continent!"

Zuo Dongge was unaware that Cang Yuan's wisp of dragon soul essence was currently coiling around Xia Daoming's primordial spirit. After recovering from the shock of the spatial collapse, he immediately couldn't wait to return to the mountain gate.

Indeed, this harvest is enough to ensure that Qingyuan Sect will not have to worry about cultivation resources for a long time to come.

“Master, please don’t rush. Let’s leave the Nightmare Sea first, and then find a suitable place. I need to spend some time dealing with the hidden dangers within my body,” Xia Daoming said.

"A hidden danger?" Zuo Dongge's expression changed drastically. The image of the man wearing the flat-topped crown flashed through his mind. He exclaimed, "Cang Yuan!"

Xia Daoming nodded.

"Are you confident?" Zuo Dongge asked.

"Master, rest assured, I have considered the worst-case scenario, and I can still bear it. However, I think it shouldn't come to that," Xia Daoming replied.

"That's good!" Zuo Dongge nodded, seemingly relieved, but his heart was heavy.

Don't let his constant urge to beat up the disciple in front of him fool you; if anything were to go wrong, he would be the one most anxious and concerned.

He had been in the Nightmare Sea for over two years, but leaving would be quick.

Just two days later, a black and white sword light burst forth from the Nightmare Sea and disappeared into the distant horizon.

a few days later.

An uninhabited island.

Zuo Dongge stood holding a broken sword, his eyes scanning the surroundings like swords.

Three zhang away from him, under a large tree, Xia Daoming sat cross-legged with his eyes closed. He appeared calm on the surface, but within his inner palace, there was a tense atmosphere of impending conflict. The primordial spirit, which looked exactly like Xia Daoming, not only had a bright, shocking, blood-red, ferocious dragon-shaped rune on its forehead, but was also surrounded by a dragon shadow.

The dragon shadow, like an iron chain, kept tightening, constricting the primordial spirit and causing it to twist and deform, with specks of rosy light scattering into the void above the Yellow Court.

The dragon's head was raised high, and it was staring at the entrance of the Yellow Court with a mixture of surprise and anger.

At the entrance stood a tall man clad in black flame armor and wielding a fire blade, and a primordial spirit.

The tall man was none other than the Netherworld Flame Lord, a divine weapon of true fire specifically designed to suppress the soul.

And the primordial spirit is naturally Xia Daoming's primordial spirit.

"I never expected that I, the son of a true dragon, who was a powerful figure even in the Immortal Realm, would be deceived by a mere cultivator from the lower realm."

The dragon head spoke, its voice majestic yet tinged with self-mockery and indignation.

“If you look at the problem from a different perspective, senior, wouldn’t I have a better chance of fulfilling your last wish, given my abilities?” Xia Daoming said.

"Boy, stop trying to fool me. Not only did you conceal the Netherworld True Fire Divine Weapon that restrains the soul and the passage connecting the Crimson Palace and the Yellow Court very well from the beginning, but you also separated half of your primordial spirit and hid it in the Crimson Palace early on. It's obvious that you had the intention of scheming against me."

"At most, I can only destroy half of your primordial spirit. How could you possibly fulfill my dying wish?" The dragon head spoke, with a mocking tone.

As he spoke, the dragon shadow shrank again.

The runes imprinted on Xia Daoming's primordial spirit between his eyebrows became increasingly ferocious and vivid.

The primordial spirit showed a hint of pain.

The primordial spirit standing at the entrance of the Yellow Court also showed a trace of pain.

"This junior has no ill intentions towards senior; I simply do not wish to put my soul and life in the hands of others."

"If it were a senior like me, even if I knew that as long as I kept my promise, the other party wouldn't activate the restriction, I would definitely do it instead of obediently submitting to it!" The primordial spirit suppressed the pain and said sincerely.

“That’s true, otherwise it would be too pedantic and foolish!” The dragon head was silent for a moment, then nodded and said.

The dragon's body, which had been binding the primordial spirit, loosened somewhat, and the runes between the primordial spirit's brows also faded a little.

"Senior, rest assured, I have always valued loyalty and keeping my promises. I am deeply grateful for the many opportunities you have given me. As long as what you said earlier is true, I will certainly fulfill your last wish."

Of course, if what you say is false, senior, and it is indeed an evil dragon, then please forgive this junior for breaking my promise. If you wish to destroy half of this junior's primordial spirit, then just destroy it.

When he said the last sentence, Xia Daoming looked calm and composed.

"Haha! Well said!" Upon hearing this, the dragon head suddenly burst into laughter. Then, the dragon shadow released its primordial spirit, and the bright red rune between its brows flew out and disappeared into the dragon shadow.

Then the dragon's shadow twisted and manifested into a middle-aged man wearing a royal robe and a flat crown.

It was exactly the human form of Cang Yuan.

"Senior, you believe what I say?"

Xia Daoming's face showed surprise and delight.

“If you were a treacherous and wicked person, you would have said all sorts of nice things by now, and you would never have needed to say that last sentence, so I believe you.”

Moreover, the fact that you have cultivated to such a level makes me, even though I consider myself a genius in my clan, far inferior to you. This shows that you are not only exceptionally talented, but also a person with great perseverance and determination.

It is my good fortune to meet someone like you who can carry on my legacy. I would rather believe that you are a trustworthy person than to meet someone who is restricted by my restrictions and has almost no ability to fulfill my legacy.

Now you can just refine me. In my current state, after leaving Yunliu Palace, I'll at most turn into a lingering obsession and merge into the original restrictive talisman that was used to monitor and limit you, losing all self-awareness.

Cang Yuan's expression remained neither joyful nor sorrowful as he finished speaking.

　That concludes today's update.
