Chapter 780 Slaying the Golden Centipede and Obtaining a Valuable Treasure [Long Chapter, Please Subscribe]

The effects of the Jiuhua Immortal Plum are indeed not exaggerated in the slightest.

After nearly two years of refining the spiritual power of the fruit, Zhou Chun's magical power increased by almost 30% from its original level!

This saved him from hundreds of years of arduous cultivation, and there were no aftereffects whatsoever.

Judging from his current mid-Nascent Soul cultivation level, even if it's a large pill refined from a mid-grade fifth-order demon core whose attributes perfectly match his, the effect would be limited, and it might even be worse!

Although Zhou Chun still had three large pills to refine, he was not in a hurry to take them immediately.

Although the increase in cultivation level of [Jiuhua Immortal Li] did not cause any problems, it was still a huge increase in magical power. He needed to spend time adapting to and mastering this surge in magical power before he could continue to take pills to improve his cultivation.

Otherwise, if one possesses immense magical power but cannot even properly control and wield it, people would laugh at that.

The best way to adapt is actually through combat.

Only by activating various supernatural powers and magical treasures in battle can cultivators achieve more precise control over their own magical power.

Therefore, after Zhou Chun emerged from seclusion, he summoned Lord Fushan and Lord Yinlong to spar with him.

Decades later, both Lord Fushan and Lord Yinlong have fully recovered their strength from their prime, and have even improved upon it.

Even though Zhou Chun has now broken through to the mid-Nascent Soul stage, they are still fully capable of fighting together.

In the sky, Zhou Chun activated the [Nine-Nine Profound Heaven Sword Gourd], and forty-nine golden sword energies surged forth, forming a sword energy tidal wave that shot towards the Fushan Jun Cave on the ground.

As Zhou Chun's cultivation broke through to the mid-Nascent Soul stage, the true power of this spiritual treasure was further developed. The forty-nine "Mysterious Heaven Sword Qi" equivalent to the full power of a mid-Nascent Soul sword cultivator was enough to move even some great cultivators.

Naturally, Lord Fushan dared not underestimate such an attack. He immediately unleashed his innate divine power, [Transform into a Mountain], transforming into a giant tortoise mountain. At the same time, a hazy [Primordial Magnetic Divine Light] rose from the mountain, intertwining like smoke and mist to form a cloud of light that protected him.

Forty-nine sword energies shot towards the hazy cloud of light, but a powerful resistance greatly slowed them down, making their progress extremely difficult, and the sword energy and spiritual light dimmed considerably.

But in the end, they still managed to pierce through the hazy cloud of light and shot down onto Turtle Mountain below.

Suddenly, a series of booming sounds rose from Turtle Mountain, and one after another, bottomless sword caves appeared.

Just then, thunder roared in the sky. It was the Silver Dragon Lord who was laying thunderclouds in the sky, and had already gathered a large area of ​​thunderclouds to launch an attack on Zhou Chun.

The silver lightning bolts fell as densely as rain, each bolt as powerful as the lightning encountered by a fourth-tier demon beast undergoing its Heavenly Tribulation.

Under such an offensive, Zhou Chun dared not be negligent and waved his hand to summon the defensive spiritual treasure, the [Nine Luminaries Dragon Scale Shield].

A golden shield erected a golden barrier above his head, like an umbrella in the pouring rain, completely blocking the rain-like silver lightning outside, leaving him completely dry!

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning flashed and pierced through the air, transforming into a giant thunder sword that slashed at the golden light barrier, instantly increasing the pressure on the barrier and causing it to cave inwards considerably.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun immediately formed hand seals and cast a spell, and a golden light shot out from his hands, landing on the thunderous giant sword.

Then Silver Dragon Lord felt that the [Heavenly Gang Thunder-Slaying Sword], which had long been in harmony with his mind, was gradually losing its connection and becoming difficult to control.

Zhou Chun had been practicing the [Falling Treasure Golden Light] divine ability for hundreds of years. After his cultivation broke through to the mid-Nascent Soul stage, he finally mastered it to the point where it was usable in actual combat.

Now that it has been unleashed, it's hard to say what will happen to a spiritual treasure. Even if a top-grade magic weapon cannot be used with a single finger, it can temporarily obscure the connection between the owner and the magic weapon, making it difficult to continue activating the magic weapon.

After pointing his finger at the [Heavenly Gang Thunder-Slaying Sword], Zhou Chun opened his mouth again and spat out a golden divine light, which shot out and shot towards the silver thunder dragon in the sky.

However, since they were master and servant who knew each other well, the Silver Dragon Lord was naturally not hit by his [Formless Geng Metal Divine Light]. In a flash of lightning, he avoided the attack of the golden divine light.

But to his surprise, Zhou Chun immediately made a hand seal and waved his hand, and a golden lightning ball suddenly appeared near him.

Just as he was about to unleash the Lightning Release technique again, his consciousness suddenly sank as he was attacked from the level of divine sense.

When he regained consciousness, the golden lightning ball had already appeared beside him and exploded with a bang.

As a Thunder Dragon, the Silver Dragon Lord should have extremely strong resistance to various lightning-attribute attacks. It would be difficult for ordinary fifth-tier demon kings or Nascent Soul stage cultivators to inflict sufficient damage on him with their lightning divine abilities.

However, although the [Gengjin Rifting Thunder] also appears in the form of lightning, it is essentially a metal-attribute supernatural power.

The Silver Dragon's resistance to lightning attacks was of little use against it.

Then he saw a surging, raging golden lightning sweep towards him, quickly shattering the lightning clouds surrounding him.

Then, his powerful fifth-order dragon body and hard dragon scales were torn apart and shattered by the impact of the golden lightning, and dragon blood was scattered in the sky!

Although it was just a friendly sparring match, Zhou Chun clearly wasn't holding back.

However, for Silver Dragon Lord, such injuries only looked serious; in reality, they were just superficial wounds that could be fully recovered after a few months of rest.

Therefore, he did not blame Zhou Chun for being ruthless; instead, his competitive spirit was further aroused.

Even so, he immediately activated the [True Dragon Seal] and unleashed the [Heaven and Earth Dragon Roar] divine power.

However, Zhou Chun had already reached the realm of divine consciousness transformation, and the influence of the Dragon Roar Divine Power on him was greatly reduced, so he was not affected at all.

With a wave of his hand, he once again unleashed the top-grade magic weapon [Dragon Binding Rope], which he had previously obtained from the Bloodflame Flood Dragon King, transforming it into a streak of crimson light that bound the silver thunder dragon.

Seeing this, the Silver Dragon King could only let out a long roar, and its lightning-infused claws reached out to grab the precious rope.

This claw strike, like a dragon reaching out from the clouds, left no trace, and just happened to grab the crimson rope that was about to stick to his body.

Then lightning surged forth, fiercely suppressing the spiritual light on the crimson rope, rendering it ineffective.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun stopped attacking and simply waved his hand, saying, "Alright, that's enough. If we keep fighting, it'll be hard to stop."

His methods certainly didn't stop there, and the Silver Dragon Lord was the same.

However, if it's just for sparring, there's no need to use some powerful techniques that are difficult to control.

Otherwise, hurting anyone would be a losing proposition.

Upon hearing him call it over, Silver Dragon Lord quickly retrieved his magic weapon and returned the [Dragon Binding Rope] that he had been holding to Zhou Chun.

Then, he transformed into a silver-armored youth, exclaiming to Zhou Chun with an amazed expression, "Master, the defensive power of this magical treasure is truly formidable! Even if Boss Stone were to go all out, his defense might not be able to match this treasure!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun immediately said with some pride, "Of course! This is a defensive spiritual treasure crafted by Senior Tai Geng Divine Venerable using several top-grade spiritual materials. It's more than enough to deal with attacks from late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, he realized they seemed somewhat inappropriate for the occasion, so he quickly reassured the other spirit pet, who had just released its supernatural power, "Of course, Stone, don't be discouraged. With your abilities, as long as you break through to the mid-grade fifth rank in the future, your defensive capabilities will definitely be no less than this spirit treasure!"

"Yes, I will work hard in my training!"

Lord Fushan nodded and replied in a somber tone.

Seeing his master possess such a powerful defensive magical artifact, he felt both happy and somewhat disappointed.

After all, he had been doing his best to protect his master before this.

Now that a magical treasure could replace his position, how could he not feel sad and disappointed?

However, he also knew that this was actually a good thing, both for his master and for himself.

Over the next six months, Zhou Chun frequently summoned several spirit pets, including Yishan Jun, to spar with him, in order to familiarize himself with and master his rapidly increasing magical power.

However, during their subsequent sparring sessions, they all restrained themselves and avoided getting injured again.

After more than half a year of training, Zhou Chun had a clear understanding of his current cultivation level at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

Based on his own comparison, not counting the five demon king spirit pets, his current abilities are no worse than Nangong Wuqing's. He could easily exchange hundreds of blows with a great cultivator or a fifth-tier high-grade demon king in a one-on-one fight.

Compared to late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, his biggest weakness is that his magical power is not as profound as theirs.

Therefore, in the later stages of the fight, he was bound to be the first to run out of magic power.

If we include all five demon king spirit pets, then even a powerful fifth-tier superior demon king like the Icefire Demon Ape, Zhou Chun now dares to fight head-on!

In short, with his current cultivation level, it is indeed difficult for anyone within the fifth rank to threaten his life.

"In that case, it's time to go see that Demon King Chongxuan and see what he's up to!"

Zhou Chun's eyes flickered, and she finally remembered a past event that had been accumulating in her heart for a long time.

With his current strength, he can go anywhere in the world as long as he doesn't encounter a sixth-tier expert.

Even though that Demon King Chongxuan had a mysterious background and great strength, he was still only at the fifth level and could not pose a threat to his life.

However, considering that he would need to bring his entire team to face the Demon King Chongxuan for safety, Zhou Chun did not rush to set off immediately.

After all, Zhou Zhiying is currently in seclusion to form his Nascent Soul, and Lu Yuanjun is also protecting his wife and children. If he were to bring his entire force to the Chongxuan Demon King's place, and something were to happen at home that might disturb Zhou Zhiying, it would be extremely bad.

Having waited so many years, Zhou Chun certainly wouldn't be in a rush at this time.

Two more months passed, and Fu Shanjun, who was in charge of searching for the Nine-Blade Barbarian Saint, suddenly made an unexpected discovery.

"You mean you found the lair of the centipede I fought back then?"

On Xuandan Peak, Zhou Chun also showed a surprised expression after hearing the latest discovery reported by Fushan Jun.

It turns out that when he rushed to the aid of Heng Kingdom's battlefield, he had a battle with a mid-grade fifth-tier Golden Centipede Demon King outside the Yunling Mountains of Heng Kingdom. At that time, this demon king, who knew the art of sword control, left a deep impression on him and his spirit pet.

It was precisely because of Fu Shan Jun's [Primordial Magnetic Divine Light] supernatural power that Zhou Chun was able to achieve victory.

Otherwise, with the strength of that Golden Centipede Demon King, even if he fought against a Nascent Soul mid-stage cultivator like Nangong Wuqing, who possessed the combat power of a great cultivator, he wouldn't be at a significant disadvantage.

Now that the demon's lair has been unexpectedly discovered, Zhou Chun inevitably has some ideas.

After a moment of contemplation with a flicker in his eyes, he said in a low voice, "Let me go and ask Senior Tai Geng for his opinion."

He then went to Chang Geng Peak, where the incarnation of the Tai Geng God was located, to pay his respects.

Upon hearing Zhou Chun's purpose, the avatar of the Tai Geng Divine Lord nodded slightly and said, "Hmm, that centipede did seem to possess some skill. Its sword control technique showed many traces of our human race, but it was also more suited to its own nature. Perhaps it truly mastered a decent sword technique inheritance!"

Surprisingly, he still remembered that Golden Centipede Demon King and had a deep impression of him.

He then waved his hand and said, "You can do this without worry. I guarantee that no sixth-tier alien race will attack you because of this!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun nodded with a relieved expression and said, "This junior understands. With Senior Tai Geng's words, this junior is at ease."

Then he took the four demon king spirit pets, including Feng Yuanjun, and together with Fushanjun, went to the lair of the Golden Centipede Demon King.

The lair of this Golden Centipede Demon King is located in a treacherous place deep within the Tianman Plain. It is a desert with little life and very few even ordinary wild beasts.

The lair of the Golden Centipede Demon King is located deep within an underground refined gold mine in the desert, with no entrance connecting it to the surface.

If it weren't for Lord Fushan sensing the commotion he caused during his cultivation while traversing the nearby underground, they might not have been able to discover his existence.

Led by Lord Fushan, Zhou Chun soon arrived in the desert.

After stopping five or six miles away from the Golden Centipede Demon King's lair, he released Lord Yishan and whispered, "Flying Tiger, the task of luring the snake out of its hole is entrusted to you."

"Rest assured, Master, Flying Tiger guarantees to complete the mission!"

Yishanjun patted his chest nonchalantly and immediately flapped his wings and flew towards the lair of the Golden Centipede Demon King.

When Zhou Chun fought the Golden Centipede Demon King, Yishan Jun had not yet advanced to the Demon King level and had not shown himself in front of him, so he did not leave any impression on him.

Demon kings are beings with a strong sense of territory. It's impossible for the Golden Centipede Demon King not to react when a strange demon king like Lord Yishan enters the territory and refuses to leave.

As long as Lord Yishan can lure him out of his lair and onto the ground, Zhou Chun has a way to make him have nowhere to escape!

Then, Lord Yishan revealed his true form, riding the demonic wind and speeding all the way, and soon arrived above the lair of the Golden Centipede Demon King.

There was a continuous stretch of stone mountains in the desert. Because of the presence of underground gold veins, the stone mountains were barren, covered only with bare, dark brown rocks.

After hovering and flying in the air for a while, Yishanjun folded its wings and landed on a rocky mountain.

This place is not directly opposite the lair of the Golden Centipede Demon King, but there are fine gold ore deposits at the bottom of the mountain.

At this moment, Lord Yishan was like a greedy person who had discovered a treasure. He immediately used his supernatural powers to smash the stone mountain and began to dig for the refined gold ore inside.

Such a commotion was bound to alert the Golden Centipede Demon King.

However, this Golden Centipede Demon King was quite cautious. Even though his cultivation was a small realm higher than that of Yishan Jun, he did not immediately come out to drive him away, but instead secretly observed him.

But it was seen that Lord Yishan had no intention of leaving. After digging out some refined gold ore, he directly spat out a scroll of his own [Tiger Soul Golden Fiend] and ground the ore to extract its essence.

Judging from this, it seems that he is preparing to refine refined gold ore to cultivate supernatural powers.

If that's the case, I wonder how much refined gold ore would need to be mined to meet its needs.

Therefore, after watching for a while and finding nothing unusual, the Golden Centipede Demon King immediately stopped ignoring the situation.

Then he suddenly unleashed a ruthless attack, dozens of throwing knives bursting from the ground and launching a sneak attack on Lord Yishan.

Such a sudden attack would have caught any other demon king off guard, even if they had been prepared beforehand, leaving them in a sorry state.

But Lord Yishan was different.

The instant those throwing knives burst from the ground, his figure flashed and vanished from the spot.

When it reappeared, it was already hundreds of feet away in mid-air.

As soon as his figure appeared in mid-air, he flapped his wings violently, and a sharp gale swept down, blowing towards the golden flying knives that had missed their target and then turned to shoot towards the hole.

However, facing the Golden Centipede Demon King, whose cultivation was clearly a level higher than his, this kind of attack obviously had no effect.

Although the golden flying knives were slowed down considerably by the gale, they still slashed toward him with unwavering purpose.

Upon seeing this, Lord Yishan immediately roared and rode the demonic wind straight up into the sky, taking the initiative to retreat.

At the same time, his roar, filled with shock and rage, spread to all corners of the world.

"Who dares to ambush me, you coward? If you have the guts, come out and fight me face to face!"

A moment later, dust rose from the ground and stones flew everywhere. A golden centipede with a body length of over a hundred feet broke out of the ground and flew into the sky.

"You don't even recognize me, yet you dare to provoke me? You little cat, you have quite the nerve! Leave your demon core here today!"

The golden centipede soared into the sky, its chilling voice echoing across the heavens.

Then, streaks of golden light appeared everywhere, and golden flying knives, under his control, swept towards Lord Yishan, like a storm of swords!

"Oh dear, you venomous insect, how cruel you are! I merely mined a little of your ore, and you dare to try and kill me? This is truly outrageous!"

While shouting in shock and anger, Yishan-kun repeatedly used "Flash Technique" to dodge the attacks, and later used Wind Release Technique to fly away.

However, the Golden Centipede Demon King was enraged by his insults and, coveting his demon core, immediately began to hunt him down.

The two demons chased each other in mid-air, and soon flew hundreds of miles away, escaping the area of ​​the refined gold mine.

The Golden Centipede's Golden Escape Technique is extremely powerful. If it is within the range of a refined gold mine, once it senses danger, it can immediately burrow underground. Even though Zhou Chun's current mastery of the Golden Escape Technique is not low, it will still be difficult for him to do anything.

After all, even if Zhou Chun could escape underground, it would be difficult for him to fully utilize his skills.

However, Lord Fushan did not have the ability to block or interfere with the opponent's metal escape technique.

However, once outside the vicinity of the adamantite vein, the Centipede's Gold Escape Technique is merely faster at best.

Whether it's Lord Yishan or Lord Yinlong, they are both faster than him, so stopping them from escaping wouldn't be too difficult!

So when Lord Yishan lured him out of the vicinity of the refined gold mine, Zhou Chun and Lord Fushan, who were hiding underground, immediately appeared and cut off his escape route.

"It was you! This was all your conspiracy!"

In the sky, the Thousand-Legged Golden Centipede looked at Zhou Chun and his three servants who suddenly appeared behind it, and its expression changed drastically, revealing a look of panic.

Upon seeing Zhou Chun, he immediately realized that he had been tricked.

Now that they've been lured out of their stronghold and their escape route has been cut off, their chances of survival today are slim!

"Now that you know you're trapped, why don't you quickly offer your neck for execution and die a swift death!"

Zhou Chun smiled faintly and spoke in the most indifferent tone the words that most angered and terrified the Golden Centipede Demon King.

But the Golden Centipede Demon King stopped talking to him and, without saying a word, set off in a streak of golden light, fleeing at top speed.

Unfortunately, this situation was exactly as Zhou Chun had anticipated. Silver Dragon Lord immediately activated the spiritual treasure within his body and unleashed the [Dragon Soars Ten Thousand Miles] divine power, chasing after him at an even faster speed.

With each strike of heavenly lightning, the Golden Centipede Demon King's escape light was quickly scattered, forcing it to stop.

When this plan failed, he was unwilling to accept defeat and flew towards the ground, intending to escape underground.

Unexpectedly, Lord Fushan was already waiting for him. As soon as he broke through the earth and dug out a cave, he felt the earth below suddenly solidify, becoming as hard as refined gold. Moreover, the grayish [Primordial Magnetic Divine Light] that he was extremely wary of swept towards him.

Terrified, he hurriedly fled back to the surface, no longer daring to linger underground.

But as soon as he returned to the ground, the silver lightning followed him like a leech, striking him so hard that his whole body trembled with golden light and he felt dizzy and disoriented.

After he activated his defensive divine power and used his golden flying knives to shatter the falling heavenly lightning, Zhou Chun, along with Feng Yuanjun and Yishanjun, caught up.

Then Zhou Chun raised his hand and waved it, and the [Nine-Nine Profound Heaven Sword Gourd] suddenly appeared. Golden light surged wildly from the mouth of the gourd, and forty-nine "Profound Heaven Sword Qi" surged out, sweeping towards the Golden Centipede Demon King like a mighty dragon of sword qi.

Then, Feng Yuanjun let out a phoenix cry, and seven-colored flames rose from her body, transforming into a seven-colored fire phoenix that flew towards the thousand-legged golden centipede.

Of course, Lord Yishan was not to be outdone. He immediately opened his mouth and spat out a blue banner, a spiritual treasure that Zhou Chun had given to Luo Qingni for refining. It was the [Hundred Rivers Gathering Wind Banner].

At this moment, he poured his magic power into the treasure, and with a flick of the banner, he released a several-zhang-long cyan wind blade that slashed through the air towards the Golden Centipede Demon King.

This series of attacks would make even a fifth-tier high-grade demon king flustered, let alone the Golden Centipede Demon King.

The forty-nine golden sword energies arrived first, instantly blasting away and shattering over a hundred of the golden flying knives that the Golden Centipede Demon King had activated to meet the attack. They also shattered the golden light protecting him, almost completely destroying his defenses in one strike.

What followed was the cyan wind blade, which directly severed several golden flying knives that were coming at it, and cut a deep wound on the centipede's body, almost cutting it in two!

Immediately afterwards, the seven-colored fire phoenix swooped down, transforming into a rolling wave of flames that engulfed the centipede, which had almost lost all its defenses.

Instantly, a mournful wailing sound resounded through the sky.

The golden centipede hissed as it burst out of the sea of ​​fire, its body still burning with undying seven-colored flames, desperately trying to escape.

But where could he possibly escape to?

A majestic and powerful dragon roar suddenly rang out, drowning out the miserable howl.

The fleeing centipede paused, its mind temporarily captivated by the [Heaven and Earth Dragon Roar].

Immediately, a streak of fire flew out from Zhou Chun's hand, quickly binding the centipede and imprisoning it in place.

As the awakened centipede struggled with all its might to break free from the binding of the [Dragon Binding Rope], Lord Fushan suddenly rose from the ground and used the [Primal Magnetic Domain] to envelop and suppress it.

Immediately afterwards, Feng Yuanjun's true form flashed through the air, transforming into a streak of firelight and suddenly appearing above the head of the Thousand-Legged Golden Centipede.

Golden flames shone in her eyes as she unleashed the full power of her [Fiery Eyes] divine ability, quickly pinpointing the location of the Thousand-Legged Golden Centipede Demon Core.

Before the centipede, which was doubly imprisoned and suppressed, could even think of detonating its demon core, the seven-colored fire phoenix landed on him and pecked him with perfect precision at a certain spot on his back.

In an instant, his indestructible shell, which was protected by top-grade magic treasures, was pierced through, and his demon core was forcibly pecked out!

All I can say is that encountering Zhou Chun, the master and servant, was the worst luck the Golden Centipede Demon King could ever hope for.

Not only were all his supernatural abilities completely suppressed by Zhou Chun, but even Feng Yuanjun, the Fire Phoenix Demon King, was a natural nemesis of poisonous insects, and used to feed on various poisonous insects, snakes and ants.

Although the Golden Centipede Demon King is not known for his poison, he is still a poisonous insect, and insects are under the jurisdiction of the Fire Phoenix!

Now that his demon core has been extracted, the Golden Centipede Demon King's life or death is no longer in his own hands.

Zhou Chun did not rush to kill him, but instead separated his demon core and demon soul, temporarily sealing his demon soul.

After collecting his corpse, Zhou Chun, along with his spirit pet, swiftly headed straight for the Golden Centipede Demon King's lair.

The enormous gains from previously raiding the lairs of those fifth-tier demon kings deep behind enemy lines have made Zhou Chun extremely attentive and eager for such matters.

The Golden Centipede Demon King was quite powerful. If it weren't for encountering their master and servant, he could have easily survived even against a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

With such powerful cultivation, the treasures in his lair are definitely worth looking forward to!

This time, Zhou Chun didn't even need to rely on the power of the Mountain Lord. He directly used the Golden Escape Technique to escape along the underground refined gold vein into the lair of the Golden Centipede Demon King, located at the core of the vein.

In the heart of the mine, thousands of feet underground, the Golden Centipede Demon King had excavated a huge underground cavern, filled with rich golden energy, making it an excellent place for Zhou Chun to cultivate.

Although he was not afraid of those fifth-tier alien races, this place was, after all, located deep within the alien races' territory, and the [Purifying Heaven and Earth Divine Jar] was not with him at the moment, so he certainly could not stay here to cultivate.

So after a slight regret, he began to carefully search the demon king's cave.

Unlike the other demon king caves Zhou Chun had visited before, the Golden Centipede Demon King's cave contained no other demon beasts, nor any mates or offspring.

Considering the unique nature of its original form, this is not surprising.

Moreover, there were no spiritual herbs or medicines in its cave, and it could even be said that there was not a single living creature inside!

Even more absurdly, Zhou Chun didn't find any of the various precious spirit gold ores he had expected to find inside.

It's estimated that even if it existed originally, it was swallowed up by the Golden Centipede Demon King.

Fortunately, he did not gain nothing; on the contrary, he gained a great deal.

Because inside the Golden Centipede Demon King's cave, there exists a treasure that can be described as a rare gem!

It was a golden ore the size of a water vat, with golden runes naturally formed on its surface. These runes seemed to possess some mysterious power, attracting the golden energy within the cave to gather there, transforming into a tangible golden mist that surrounded the stone, making it appear exceptionally ethereal.

This object is like the center of the cave; all the metal energy and spiritual energy converge towards it.

Therefore, Zhou Chun couldn't help but notice it.

"Could this be...could this be that legendary treasure?!"

Zhou Chun stared intently at the golden ore. Based on the strange phenomena it produced, he quickly thought of a legendary treasure, and his lips trembled slightly with excitement.

If it really is that legendary treasure, then the harvest from just this piece of ore would be equivalent to all the harvest he obtained from his previous expedition into the Dragon Abyss!

Even more so for him!

"Most likely, most likely!"

"If it weren't for that treasure, why would the Golden Centipede Demon King have chosen such a remote and desolate place as his lair? If we don't count this refined gold mine, the spiritual energy concentration here isn't even comparable to that of the Azure Lotus Mountains!"

"He must have been worried about revealing the existence of this thing, which is why he set up his lair here. That must be it!"

Zhou Chun muttered to himself, his tone unusually excited.

It's no wonder he felt this way. If this thing really is the legendary [Mother Stone of Ten Thousand Gold] as he thinks, then it is definitely a treasure that even Nascent Soul stage cultivators would fight over!

According to ancient texts, the "Mother Stone of Ten Thousand Gold" is the most precious spiritual gold that can be found in this world. It is said to be a spiritual object formed when innate gold energy is incorporated into ore, and it possesses incredible supernatural powers.

This item is buried in the earth and can automatically gather the golden energy from all directions to generate spiritual gold veins, which are inexhaustible!

In ancient times, a powerful being obtained this item and used it to refine a magical treasure, directly creating an incomparably powerful Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure!

It is said that as long as this item is melted into the magic weapon, even if it is shattered into pieces, it can still be pieced back together and repaired!

If enough [Mother Stone of Ten Thousand Gold] are smelted, even if a magical artifact loses some fragments after it is broken, it can gradually repair itself by absorbing gold energy!

With such a treasure right before his eyes, how could Zhou Chun not be excited and lose his composure!

A long chapter of 8,000 words!
