I Truly Am The Villian Chapter 1144: 1143: Dragon Maiden of the North Sea, Endless

Chapter 1144: Chapter 1143: Dragon Maiden of the North Sea, Endless Palace Three

This journey through Chaos also involved several days of flying.

After passing Chang’an, Xie Changliu’s heart seed to open, finding a release, and his mastery in Sword Dao grew visibly stronger at a rapid pace.

To say he improved by leaps and bounds each day would not be an exaggeration.

It was as if the thousands of years he had accumulated in the small world of Edge of the Sky, End of the Sea were now bearing fruit.

Achieving a new realm in Sword Dao.

“What Sword Canon is that Naless Second Sword pursuing?” Xu Zii inquired.

“Given the level of the Naless Second Sword, if he is still pursuing the Sword Canon, the person behind this should be Emperor Zhou,” Xie Changliu replied.

“The so-called Sword Canon is just a fragntary volu, not inherently powerful, but mistakenly believed to be more potent due to rumors.

My master is unwilling to hand it over because he knows that only with the Sword Canon in his possession can he stay alive.”

While they were conversing, the figure of Chaos stopped above a set of ruins.

And the Demonic Qi in Xu Zii’s hand also descended, indicating that Old Zhuoqiu was right here.

“We’ve arrived,” the two jumped down from Chaos’s back, landing on the ground, and looked forward.

Old ruins everywhere.

It was indeterminable how old these ruins were, most of the buildings had completely collapsed.

The only visible things were so fragnts of walls and ruins.

And these fragnts and ruins had also been damaged for a long ti, eroding countless marks through the passage of ti.

“What is Old Zhuoqiu doing here?” Xu Zii thought to himself.

The two walked through the ruins, the ground uneven with clumps of soil mixed with rubble.

After walking for about five or six minutes, they finally saw the figure of Old Zhuoqiu.

He was sitting under a big tree.

This big tree was quite massive, its branches like a giant umbrella, covering an area of dozens of ters around.

The leaves were dense, not even sunlight could penetrate through.

What was strange, however, was that the tree had been dead for so ti.

A dead tree should wither, that’s the commonly accepted principle for all things.

But this tree showed no signs of life, yet its leaves were greener than any other tree.

Old Zhuoqiu was holding three incense sticks, in front of him was a square incense burner.

He inserted them into the burner, and in front of it, many offerings were laid out.

It seed like he was worshiping this tree, kneeling and bowing towards it.

“Old Zhuo, we et again,” Xu Zii approached and greeted with a smile.

Old Zhuoqiu glanced at him but did not speak.

He just stood up and quietly looked at the tree in front of him.

Xu Zii could not grasp the other person’s thoughts, but it was clear that this was not a good ti to disturb others.

The three of them stood quietly for more than ten minutes.

Gradually, Xu Zii noticed that this tree in front of him was undergoing so kind of change.

Black flowers suddenly blood on the originally green leaves.

Blooms swiftly blossod all over the tree and then fell rapidly.

With occasional breezes passing by, countless black petals twirled in midair.

The petals densely packed, covering the void above them.

Old Zhuoqiu slowly turned around, looking at Xu Zii, and smiled, “You see, it is welcoming you.”

“It?” Xu Zii asked, “This tree?

Why don’t I feel its life energy.”

“When you left before, I asked you when you would return.

You told , that when the Nine Deaths Tree blooms, it will be the ti of your return.

But I’ve waited century after century.”

“I am tired of waiting and no longer harbor any hope; I have accepted my destiny,” Old Zhuoqiu seed to be speaking to Xu Zii, yet it also sounded like he was talking to himself.

“Then you ca back suddenly, without any warning.

I don’t know how to face you again.”

“You are talking about the previous Demon Lord, I’m not very clear about his matters,” Xu Zii replied.

“You are Xu Zii, but you are also the Demon Lord,” Old Zhuoqiu said.

“Perhaps Xu Zii might die, but the Demon Lord will never die.”

“I don’t like that statent; first, you have to understand, the na Xu Zii should transcend everything.

Including the Demon Lord,” Xu Zii replied.

“I know you have an independent consciousness, but what I’m saying is also a fact.

You will slowly understand,” Old Zhuoqiu replied.

“What about Gongyang Ce?” Xu Zii asked.

“Just soone born with a destiny prearranged for him, or rather soone born specifically for you,” Old Zhuoqiu replied.

“I can’t say too much.”

“I have co here to inquire about a few things.

I hope you can help clear my doubts,” Xu Zii said.

“I will do my best, within the rules,” Old Zhuoqiu nodded.

“The first thing, I want to fuse with the Xuan Yuan Sword, I need soone proficient in forging,” Xu Zii said.

“In the North Sea of the Tuocang Domain resides the Dragon Maiden, and by the standards of the Mortal Domain, all thods of forging in this world co from her,” Old Zhuoqiu replied.

“Thanks,” Xu Zii nodded and then continued, “The second thing, I want to go to the Exile Lands in the Ancient Demon Cave, is there any way?”

Upon hearing this, a flash of calm flickered in Old Zhuoqiu’s eyes, which then swiftly returned to normal.

He remained silent for a long while before speaking again, “I don’t know about that, and it’s not possible for to know.

But there is soone who definitely knows.”

“Who?” Xu Zii asked.

“I dare not speak his na, besides few people in this world, no one dares to utter his na,” Old Zhuoqiu said.

“But you have t him.”

“I have t him?” Xu Zii asked, puzzled.

“Do you rember the Endless Palace in Beiluo City?” Old Zhuoqiu asked.

Upon being reminded, Xu Zii imdiately recalled.

There was a strange old man there, who seed to have ntioned so rhy, though they didn’t talk much.

“He said his na was Three,” Xu Zii recalled.

Old Zhuoqiu nodded slightly, “He definitely knows how to find a way to the Exile Lands.”

“What is it about that na that it can’t be called,” Xu Zii asked with a shake of his head.

“You can call it, but others cannot,” Old Zhuoqiu slightly shook his head.

“I have seen him before in the Endless Palace, do you know his whereabouts?” Xu Zii asked.

“He is always at the Endless Palace, you can find him there, but whether he will tell you the thod, I am not sure,” Old Zhuoqiu replied.

“Do you know what kind of person he is?” Xu Zii asked.

“I have so guesses, but I’m not sure, I cannot tell you, it’s the rules,” Old Zhuoqiu said.

“There are rules in all things between heaven and earth, established by the Heavenly Dao, and anyone who breaks the rules will be punished by the Heavenly Dao.”

Xu Zii pondered for a mont.

He looked around and asked, “Where is this place?”

“This was once the Arena of the Heavens, long forgotten by the world,” Old Zhuoqiu slowly caressed the bark of the big tree in front of him.

He spoke softly, “This Nine Deaths Tree is reviving; I seem to feel its life essence.”

Xu Zii also felt it carefully.

The tree, which originally had no signs of life, now indeed had a faint sign of life.
