The Legend of the Great Desolation: I Am the Fortress

Chapter 53: Gathering the Five Elements
The capital of Daxia is a vast world and the ruling core of the Daxia world.

A large number of immortals and Taoist spirits gather here.

All the top tribes, sects, and denominations will have their bases here!
Even some superpowers from other worlds would place spies and agents here to investigate.

There are all kinds of people here, and there are countless immortals, it’s unfathomable!

And such an important core is also very valuable.

In the royal capital, there is a mansion covering an area of ​​​​a thousand acres. It is extremely luxurious. In one of the mansions, there is a quiet study.

A beautiful woman in a snow-white dress sat at a desk, flipping through the books in her hands. Next to the woman was an old woman in a gray robe with silver-gray hair.

"Miss," the gray-robed old woman said respectfully, "Xia Mangze, a member of the Great Xia royal family, has come to seek an audience..."

"Xia Mangze? Another disciple of the Xia Mang family?" The beautiful woman in white paused while flipping through the book.

"Grandma Yun, it's been half a year. Still not quiet?"

A slight frown appeared on that beautiful face that could both express joy and anger. "I've been in this Great Xia capital, and I don't know how many descendants of the Xia Mang royal family I've seen. They're all like cats that smell fish..."

"Those are all descendants of Emperor Xia's clansmen. When they saw your beauty, they were naturally attracted to you." The old woman in gray said with a smile.

"Hmm?" The beautiful woman in white immediately looked at the old woman. "Could it be that they are not doing this because my father is the Lord of Yinglong?"

"If you don't want to see them, I will let the Black Dragon Guards stop them." The old woman in gray looked at the beautiful woman in white.

"Stop? I've said it several times before, but how many people have been stopped, openly or secretly?" The beautiful woman in white stood up suddenly, with anger on her face.

"I said I wouldn't see you, so I told them not to bother me!"

"Next time, if you fail to do your job well, you will be punished at Yinglong Palace! The Sea Eye is still short of cultivators to mine."

"This..." When Grandma Yun heard the words 'sea eye' and 'mining', there was visible panic in her eyes and she immediately knelt down.

Although Yinglong Longjun had spent countless years in seclusion contemplating the Dao, he still commanded countless powerful warriors. Furthermore, the Fairy Wangshu, whom she followed, also had several adult brothers above her.

If you really want to make Tianxian behave himself, it is no easier than crushing an ant to death. It is a piece of cake.

"Go out!" Fairy Wangshu's expression returned to calm.

"Remember, you are the only servant my mother left me. I don't want anything unpleasant to happen in the end..."

"Yes!" Grandma Yun knelt down and bowed respectfully, then slowly retreated.

The quiet study fell silent once more. Only the stunningly beautiful woman in white sat at the table. Under the light, her jade-like face looked even more gentle.

The beautiful woman's eyebrows were slightly furrowed again.

"Father has been in seclusion to comprehend the Way of Heaven...but he hasn't come out in a long time."

"I don't know how long it will take."

Everyone knows that Yinglong Dragon Lord, who is known throughout the three realms, is in seclusion in the Taoist temple. Although the outside world has speculated that Yinglong Dragon Lord is contemplating the way of heaven, it has never been confirmed.

But only they, the children, knew that Yinglong Longjun had reached a bottleneck in his cultivation.

Perhaps it is just an opportunity to completely understand the way of heaven and become the most powerful person in the entire three realms.

The woman in white was thinking, while stroking a piece of cracked bronze in her hand.

"This time in the Great Xia world, can Uncle Xia Mang help my father..."

……

A few days later.

As night fell, a waning moon hung in the sky, the stars were silent. Threads of starlight shone across the earth, completely enveloping the ancient city of Beihai.

A black dragon chariot covered in endless flames slowly descended from the sky and stopped in front of the Beihai Marquis Mansion.

"Son!"

"Young Master!" "Young Master Changfeng!"

The sergeants on duty late at night shouted respectfully.

Baili Changfeng brought Leizhan down from the black dragon chariot, and with a wave of his hand, he put away the black dragon chariot covered in endless flames.

"Brother Leizhan, let's go," Baili Changfeng said. "We didn't enjoy the wine enough last time, but this time I've prepared a lot of good wine, and I also want to talk to you about something."

"Oh?" Leizhan laughed, "Then let's have a good drink tonight."

……

In a spacious and luxurious hall, Lei Zhan and Baili Changfeng sat opposite each other, each with a huge table in front of them.

"Brother Leizhan, do you still remember the second prince of King Qi's family? He is the one who has been buying information about the immortal Juhua and you in Tianbao Mountain." Baili Changfeng took a sip of wine, looked at Leizhan and smiled.

"Hmm? The second prince of King Qi?" Lei Zhan immediately thought of the intelligence, the member of the royal family of Da Xia who wanted to become a disciple of the immortal Ju Hua but failed.

"What's wrong with him?" Leizhan was a little curious.

"Half a year ago, the second prince seemed to have offended a noble, and was punished by His Majesty to face the wall for ten thousand years, and was not allowed to step out of Prince Qi's Mansion!" Baili Changfeng said, with a hint of gloating in his eyes.

For cultivators, especially those who have reached the level of returning to the Void Earth like the Second Prince, ten thousand years is nothing. But if the order is given by Emperor Xia himself, the deeper meaning behind it would require careful deduction.

"Facing the wall for ten thousand years?" Leizhan had a hint of a smile on his face. "What kind of noble person did this second prince offend? Even Prince Qi didn't plead for him?"

If the second prince is punished, it will naturally be good news for the opponent.

Ten thousand years is too long, enough for a lot of things to happen.

If Leizhan were given 10,000 years to grow, he would probably have to go through the divine tribulation at the latest. By then, even if the second prince wanted to deal with him, he would have to think carefully.

"It is said... that he is the direct descendant of a celestial god..." Baili Changfeng said, his voice becoming much softer.

A large tribe as ancient as theirs had many ancient heritages. Baili Changfeng knew that the powerful beings in the Three Realms would feel a sense of connection in their hearts and even turn their gazes to them as soon as their names were mentioned.

"Descendants of gods and immortals?" Lei Zhan's mind stirred, then he shook his head. Powerful beings like gods and immortals were too far away from him for the time being.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. A while ago, I asked Brother Changfeng to help me find out about the treasure containing the essence of the five elements. Have you got any news?"

"There are quite a few treasures containing the essence of the five elements, but the amount Brother Leizhan needs is indeed a bit more." Baili Changfeng looked at Leizhan, "But over the past few days, I have made some progress."

"Yes." Lei Zhan nodded. The Star-Picking Hand's inheritance contained numerous treasures imbued with the essence of the Five Elements, but these treasures varied in quality. If Lei Zhan were to cultivate, he would naturally choose the best.

Those of inferior quality not only required a very large quantity, but also produced mixed Five Elements Essences. On the contrary, those of high quality did not have these problems.

The only drawback is that it’s expensive!
Of course, Lei Zhan now has three million kilograms of Yuan Liquid given by the immortal Ju Hua. Although he has practiced Qigong to perfection and consumed a lot of energy, he still has more than two million kilograms of Yuan Liquid.

Lei Zhan went to the fifth floor of the Water Palace War God Temple and exchanged it for a personal immortal palace.

The cave dwellings of immortal cultivators are usually heavily enclosed in formations and restrictions, making them immovable. However, this portable immortal dwelling, as the name suggests, can be carried around with you, making it a minimalist cave-heaven magic weapon.

But even the simplest ones are extremely precious.

You should know that even the cheapest portable immortal palace requires millions of kilograms of essence liquid, not to mention the treasures that come out of the Treasure Hall of the Water Palace.

If it were sold at Tianbao Mountain, it would be worth at least four or five million kilograms of Yuanye.

Therefore, the primordial fluid is accumulated and there is no shortage of it.

The most urgent thing at the moment is to gather enough rare objects containing the essence of the five elements.

"Brother Leizhan, please wait a few more days and I will be able to gather all the treasures you need." After thinking for a moment, Baili Changfeng said slowly.

"Okay, then I'll leave everything to Brother Changfeng." Leizhan smiled slightly.
