Capítulo 1320: Chapter 470: Seeking Help
If it were an ordinary person, they would probably go mad in less than three to five years.
He sat down on the stone chair and once again asked with a solemn expression, “Princess, you may speak now. What exactly do you need us to help with?”
His attitude was much more sincere and genuine than before.
Chu Xisheng sensed that this woman in black might bring him trouble, perhaps even drag him into an extrely dangerous whirlpool, yet he was willing to assist her.
Ji Yang indeed sealed himself here to prevent his corpse poison from leaking out.
This woman clearly possessed the power of the Eternal Gods, yet was willing to stay underground, not leaving her chamber for hundreds of thousands of years; her character and temperant deeply moved Chu Xisheng.
As long as what she asked for did not go against his principles, Chu Xisheng was willing to help.
“Actually, you’re right. The reason I invited you here ultimately concerns my corpse poison.”
Ji Yang conjured a chair opposite and sat down: “The first thing I want to ask you relates to the dragon energy on you. If I’m not mistaken, you’ve cultivated an extrely powerful Emperor’s Secret Technique, associated with the Red Dragon lineage. Your status, even if you aren’t the current Human Emperor of the Divine Continent, is still that of the Crown Prince—”
Chu Xisheng couldn’t help but bitterly smile upon hearing this: “Princess, you misunderstand. I am neither Emperor nor Crown Prince, just an ordinary man from the wild, well~ not exactly, I have a Fourth Rank official position now, equivalent to your era’s Junior Nine Ministers.”
Ji Yang was slightly taken aback, and began observing Chu Xisheng intently.
In the next mont, Chu Xisheng perceived that the dragon energy within him was drawn by so force, followed by a thunderous sound. Instantly, twelve crimson-golden dragon energies surged out of his body and spiraled fiercely around, roaring nacingly at Ji Yang.
“There’s no mistake, this is dragon energy ford by the Emperor’s Secret Technique converging the Red Dragon bloodline. But—”
Ji Yang was taken aback towards the end of her sentence.
After carefully sensing it again, she first showed surprise, then a bit of delight: “It seems you truly aren’t the current Human Emperor, but indeed can wield power only available to the Human Emperor. The world is vast and truly full of wonders; such an unlikely event actually aligns with my interests.”
Chu Xisheng couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow: “Princess, what do you an by that?”
“Being able to wield power only afforded to the current Human Emperor without bearing the cost, isn’t that beneficial?”
Ji Yang said in a complex tone: “My grandfather, at his peak, was close to being a Creation Sovereign, the strongest of that era. He could have existed perpetually alongside Heaven and Dao; enduring countless calamities without corruption, untouched by causality. But now—”
Ji Yang didn’t continue, instead changing the subject: “About seven months ago, soone broke through the seal around my chamber and intruded into the inner layer, damaging the Twelve Dragon Pillars left by my grandfather. I wish to enlist the aid of your dragon energy to help restore the chamber’s seals, ideally reinforcing them to prevent the leakage of my corpse poison.”
Chu Xisheng recalled that seven months ago was when Corpse Dog Li Manshan voluntarily led thousands of Iron Banner gang mbers into Taishan County.
He exchanged a look with Chu Yunyun beside him: “Princess, the people from Corpse Mountain Sect are already repairing the seals. I suppose they’re the sect your father created especially for you?”
Chu Yunyun interjected to ask: “I want to know if repairing the Twelve Dragon Pillars of the chamber will deplete Daning’s fortune and damage the dragon energy?”
Ji Yang gave Chu Yunyun a glance.
This woman’s perception was incredibly strong too, she must have sensed the situation below this chamber.
“Corpse Mountain Sect is only repairing the outer seal. Over these hundreds of thousands of years, my power has grown to equal my mother’s, and my corpse poison has also beco exceptionally strong.”
Ji Yang patiently explained: “Repairing the Dragon Pillars will indeed deplete the dragon energy you borrowed. But letting my corpse poison leak, how would that benefit Daning’s fortune? It would only bring disaster and harm your nation’s fortune.
Additionally, this is beneficial for you too. I can allow your essence blood to rge into my grandfather’s Dragon Pillars, enabling you to draw upon so of his residual strength in your lifeti, strengthening your Twelve Dragon God Heavenly Guardian, potentially even reinventing them. The Emperor’s Secret Technique you possess actually originates from my grandfather, likely passed down by the Red Dragon lineage?”
She guessed that Chu Xisheng wouldn’t dare openly use this emperor dragon energy; otherwise, the current emperor would not tolerate him.
Chu Xisheng’s feelings were quite mixed.
He didn’t care about Daning’s dragon energy fortune; if it could harm the Jianyuan Emperor because of it, he’d actually be quite pleased.
But if this inadvertently affected the masses, Chu Xisheng would feel troubled.
Ji Yang’s reasoning was more convincing, after all.
“I accept this task.” Chu Xisheng nodded seriously, “Then what about the second matter? Princess, you ntioned Yunyun’s power can assist you as well.”
“I need you both to help recover my lost Poison Pearl.”
At this ti, Ji Yang’s expression was extrely serious: “It consists of my corpse poison that has been expelled over the years, condensed into a Poison Pearl, which I prepared to cast into the Earth Core Sea of Fire every three thousand years for incineration and dissolution.
However, seven months ago, not only did they destroy the inner and outer seals, but they also intruded into my chamber during my slumber and stole the Poison Pearl. I suspect their intention might be to forge a newer, stronger generation of Heavenly Gaze.”
Chu Xisheng’s pupils instantly dilated, his mind in turmoil.
He recalled breaking into the Giant Spirit Imperial Court on Buzhou Mountain with Su Fengdao a year ago and seeing the Heavenly Gaze there.
Could it be the Giant Spirits?
They haven’t given up, still pursuing a new generation of Heavenly Gaze?
Chu Xisheng also thought of that bald man.
He was evidently a mber of the Giant Spirit Royal Family, of noble status.
This person appearing at Ji Yang’s Tomb, his goal might not just be for him.
“We accept this task as well.” Chu Yunyun’s voice was cold, and in her blue eyes, infinite killing intent brewed: “Does Her Highness know their identities, any clues?”
Ji Yang shook her head: “When I awoke, the Poison Pearl was already lost. The whereabouts of the Poison Pearl is sothing only you can investigate. Finally, concerning paynt, I can provide so upfront; this is one of them.”
As she willed it, three streams of light flew from afar and hovered in front of the two.
Ji Yang sighed: “Fortunately, all my wealth is stored within my Lifebound Divine Artifact, not stolen by them. Frustratingly, I found the Poison Pearl filthy and didn’t incorporate it into my Lifebound Item, resulting in this disaster.”
When the three streams of light stopped, Chu Xisheng realized they were three drops of golden liquid.
Each no larger than a pinky nail, exuding an intoxicating fragrance.
Chu Xisheng instantly felt the ‘Wanxiang Star Plate’ Artifact Spirit within him harbored an intense craving for this liquid.
Chu Yunyun looked at the liquid, surprise flashing in her blue eyes: “Is this ‘Creation Source Liquid’?”
“Precisely, the source liquid left by ‘Water God’ Tiangong and ‘Wisdom God’ Long Xi. These two Ancestor Gods are the creators of all artifacts in the world, and their source liquid can repair damages to anything.”
While Ji Yang spoke, she looked directly at Chu Xisheng: “If I’m not mistaken, your Divine Yang bloodline has only opened to the Second Acupoint?”
Chu Xisheng was struggling to contain the agitation of the Wanxiang Star Plate.
He looked up, surprised: “Indeed, I’ve only opened the Second Acupoint. Why does Your Highness ask about this?”
When his Divine Yang bloodline advanced to the Fifteenth Tier, his awakened bloodline talent was ‘Yang Source’.
This talent allowed for the opening of nine Primordial Yang Acupoints within the body to accumulate Divine Yang Source Power.
The Primordial Yang Acupoints can be activated during combat, significantly enhancing Chu Xisheng’s combat prowess.
In his current tier, the Primordial Yang Acupoint can at least enhance his half-grade cultivation.
In the future, as Chu Xisheng’s cultivation increases to the Second Grade, when all nine Primordial Yang Acupoints reach their peak, he might briefly break the Human-God Boundary, entering a Demigod status.
However, currently, the Primordial Yang Power he accumulated is only sufficient to open two Primordial Yang Acupoints.
The second acupoint is still accumulating.
So, this imnsely powerful talent is sothing Chu Xisheng currently hasn’t been able to use.
“Then this will be the second part of the reward.”
Ji Yang seed a bit embarrassed, averting her gaze.
In the next instant, a blood-red object, shaped like a large snake or an octopus tentacle, erged from the stone below, extending before Chu Xisheng: “I’ll trouble this lady cultivator to use your Rebellious God Flag to sever it and purify it with your Defying God Fire, and then give it to him to consu. This should allow him to open all nine acupoints and fill with yang yuan. If you fall short of yang yuan in the future, you can co back to .”
Chu Xisheng couldn’t help but utter a surprised ‘oh’, staring in shock.
He turned again, exchanging gazes with Chu Yunyun beside him.
