Chapter 1112 – Prying for Information (Next)
Xu Chuniang has a number in her heart, such important news, even if she is a valued guest of the Chamber of Commerce, the other party will not reveal the information to her for nothing.
News related to the fourth-order holy relics, even if there are only two or three points possible, are extremely important secrets that need to be exchanged for equal value.
Half an hour later, Xu Chuniang left the Chamber of Commerce with an extra roll of drawings on her person.
This roll of drawings was none other than the map of the Ancient Graveyard that she had bought from the Chamber of Commerce at a high price.
The entire map, only a small portion of the path that had already been explored was relatively clear, the rest were very vague, only vaguely visible terrain trends, and there were quite a few places that had been circled by the focus.
These circled places were places of great evil, and once you stepped into them, it was extremely difficult to survive.
Xu Chuniang only took one look and firmly memorized the terrain of the ancient cemetery in her mind.
The place where the fourth-order Soul Nurturing Sacred Objects might exist was deep within the ancient graveyard, and one would have to cross over four or five great evil places to reach it.
Other than that, there was no other news of fourth-order Soul Nurturing Sacred Objects.
After weighing the pros and cons, Xu Chuniang decided to head to the Ancient Cemetery to find out.
The injury to her divine soul could not be delayed, and even if there was only a two or three percent chance, she had to take a chance.
As for the evil creatures in the ancient graveyard, such as the evil bone puppets and grudge demons, using the Laws of Yang, she might be able to restrain them for a moment or two.
Xu Chuniang walked towards the western city gate and was about to leave the city when she suddenly heard a few murmurs.
“Have you heard, the Ninth and Tenth Highnesses are planning to go to the Ancient Graveyard and are recruiting manpower.”
Upon hearing this, a one-eyed demonic cultivator showed a look of fear, “The ancient graveyard is too dangerous, the last time I followed the survey team, I encountered a grudge demon in the periphery and nearly lost my life, I don’t dare to go.”
The person who spoke earlier snorted, “Ninth Highness and Tenth Highness are personally leading the team, with this cultivation level of yours, even if you want to follow, there is no place for you.”
The one-eyed devil cultivator’s face snapped, he only had the cultivation of the Earth Demon Beginning Realm, indeed he couldn’t get into the eyes of the two Highnesses, if he wanted to enter the team of the two Highnesses, he would have to be at least of the Earth Demon After Realm cultivation yet.
“Strange to say, the two Highnesses stayed in the demon realm for a good time, how could they not think of coming to this extra-territorial dangerous land and traveling to the ancient graveyard?”
“This you don’t know, the two Highnesses are traveling to the Ancient Burial Ground in order to obtain the fourth-ranked holy relics inside and offer them to Lord Greedy Wolf!”
Hearing the familiar name, Xu Chuniang’s figure slightly paused, her footsteps turning, she turned back from the city gates and walked towards the gossiping few.
Noticing her proximity, the few people glanced at her, their faces showing caution.
“There is no need for you to be alarmed, I heard you guys talking about the two Highnesses and Lord Greedy Wolf when I was passing by, so I was just a bit curious for a moment.”
Xu Chuniang said, taking out a bag of magic crystals and handing it over towards the several people, “I’ve been in seclusion lately, and I’m not quite sure what’s happened over the years, so if it’s convenient, I’d like to trouble a few of you to talk to me about it.”
Upon hearing this, the vigilance on several people’s faces dissipated quite a bit.
The leader of the group swept past Xu Chuniang, and with a natural demeanor, he took the magic crystal in her hand and smiled, “I see, it’s not anything important, if you are interested, I will inform you of what I know.”
A quarter of an hour later, Xu Chuniang roughly understood what had happened.
It turned out that during the years she was unconscious, there was a competition held in the city.
The competition was held once every hundred years, co-chaired by several Demon Kings, and the last time it was held, she was in the Wushui secret realm and happened to miss it.
Unexpectedly this time, she missed it again. “I see, then what is the matter with the Ninth and Tenth Highnesses that you guys were talking about?”
“The two Highnesses came with Lord Greedy Wolf, along with him, to the Outer Realm, but after the competition ended, the two Highnesses didn’t return to the Demon Realm with Lord Greedy Wolf, but stayed in the Outer Realm.”
Having been favored by Xu Chuniang, he explained in great detail.
“In another ten years, it will be Lord Greedy Wolf’s 20,000 year birthday banquet, and the reason why the two highnesses stayed behind was because they had heard the news that the Yin Sinking Pearls might exist in the ancient graveyard, and they wanted to obtain the Yin Sinking Pearls and offer them to Lord Greedy Wolf as a birthday gift.”
The Yin Sinking Bead, a fourth-order sacred object, was indeed a rare treasure for most demonic cultivators, but could not be used to nourish the soul.
However, if she failed to find the Soul Nourishing Sacred Relic in the Ancient Graveyard, she might be able to find a way to find the Yin Sinking Bead and exchange it for a Fourth Order Soul Nourishing Sacred Relic of equal value ……
This thought flashed through Xu Chuniang’s mind, but her face didn’t move, “The two Highnesses are truly filial, but it’s just that it’s not easy to obtain the Yin Sinking Pearls from the ancient graveyard, is it?”
“Who says it isn’t?”
The one-eyed demonic cultivator nodded in agreement and interjected, “Although the two highnesses’ strength is not bad, but after all, they only have the cultivation of the Heavenly Demon Primordial Realm, and over the years, the Heavenly Demon powerhouses that died in the ancient graveyard, I don’t know how many of them ……”
Before he finished speaking, he was slapped on the head by the person in charge, “What are you talking about, the strength of the two Highnesses is not comparable to that of an idle cultivator? If the two highnesses hear you chewing your tongue here, they will not pull out your mouth full of teeth!”
Realizing that he had said the wrong thing, the one-eyed demonic cultivator’s face turned white with fear and didn’t dare to say anything else.
Xu Chuniang watched the interaction between the two in her eyes, and became a little more curious about the two Highnesses they spoke of.
“Earlier, I heard you guys say that the two Highnesses were preparing to personally lead a group to the Ancient Graveyard, how can I enter their group?”
“This is simple, see those people lining up, they are cultivators who came to sign up and want to follow the two Highnesses into the Ancient Graveyard, it’s just that it’s not up to them to decide if they can be selected or not.”
Xu Chuniang looked over in the direction he pointed, and sure enough, she saw many cultivators who were lining up.
She was a bit surprised, “How dangerous is the Ancient Graveyard, the place where the Yin Sinking Pearls might be birthed is even more dangerous, I didn’t expect that there would be so many people that would be willing to follow the two Highnesses there.”
“Hmph, Dao Friend doesn’t know ah, the two Highnesses are highly valued by Lord Demon King, destined to have a great future, if you can show your face in front of the two Highnesses, not to say soar to the heavens, but at least you can follow the two Highnesses to leave this hellish place of Abyssal City, and return to the Demon Realm.”
Xu Chuniang pondered for a moment, it seemed to be true.
Most cultivators who were sent to Yuan City were unable to return to the Demon Realm.
They either died in battle outside the realm, or were trapped in Abyss City for the rest of their lives.
The appearance of the two Highnesses had given them a new opportunity, so they naturally had to seize this opportunity, regardless of the circumstances.
Xu Chuniang arched her hand, “Thank you for informing me of all this, I’m going to go sign up and take my chances, just in case I’m lucky, maybe I’ll be chosen?”
“Hehe, then I wish you all the best, fellow Daoist.”
Xu Chuniang turned around and was about to go enroll when she suddenly heard a voice transmission ringing in her ears.
“Although His Highness the Ninth and His Highness the Tenth are twins, their personalities are completely different, His Highness the Ninth has a violent temperament and His Highness the Tenth has a gentle temperament, but in terms of strength alone, it’s still His Highness the Ninth who is slightly better.
Seeing as you give a greater number of magic crystals, I will finally reveal one more piece of information, which highness you want to serve, it depends on how you choose to choose.” (End of chapter)
