“Eh? Qingchen, you’ve picked up a treasure. What good luck you have. One look, and you can tell this thing is very valuable.”

Jiang Yi was attracted to the pearl. He leaned over to take a closer look at it. Its aura was extremely mysterious, and it felt similar to Primitive Spiritual Treasures’ aura. Jiang Yi guessed that this was some kind of treasure as well.

Qi Qingchen did not say anything. Instead, she frowned and studied the pearl closely. After a while, she sent a sliver of heavenly power into the pearl. The moment the heavenly power went in, the pearl lit up with a bright light. The azure dragon in the pearl started to swim around as if it had come alive. It was very magical.

“Indeed…”

Qi Qingchen’s eyes brightened, and her entire face filled with excitement. She turned to face Jiang Yi and said, “This is a Demon-Killing Pearl. Jiang Yi, that Lord is so good to you.”

Jiang Yi rubbed his nose awkwardly and said, confused, “What does that mean? What does it have to do with me? You were the one who found this pearl.”

“Of course, it has something to do with you.”

Qi Qingchen handed the pearl to Jiang Yi and then pointed to the pit in the ground. “This pearl was hidden in a shallow pit underground. Anyone could have walked by and found it. Why didn’t you find it when you were in the Purgatory Mystic Realm the last time? What does this tell us? Someone left this pearl here on purpose. It’s obvious that the Demon Lord left it here for you.”

“Oh, oh!”

Jiang Yi tried to feel the pearl and then blinked in confusion. He played around with it and then handed it back to Qi Qingchen. “Since you were the one who found it, I’ll give it to you. This pearl doesn’t look that useful to me.”

“…”

Qi Qingchen rolled her eyes, feeling different emotions at once. She shot Jiang Yi a look, which caused him to jump immediately. Frustrated, she said, “What do you know? If you took this pearl and went to sell it, someone would give up even their Primitive Spiritual Treasures to trade with you.”

“What?”

Jiang Yi was shocked. This pearl could be exchanged for a Primitive Spiritual Treasure? He once again felt the pearl and sent a sliver of heavenly powers into it. Still, he found nothing extraordinary. Still confused, he looked at Qi Qingchen and asked, “What is this? I don’t feel that there’s anything special about it. The azure dragon is nice, though.”

“It’s a Demon-Killing Pearl!”

Qi Qingchen explained with a serious expression. “It’s not a treasure; neither does it have any special abilities. This pearl is a key that can activate a mysterious and magical palace. There are a total of twenty-seven such pearls.”

“Key?”

Jiang Yi half-understood what Qi Qingchen was saying. He mulled over it for a moment and then his eyes suddenly lit up. “Demon-Killing Pearl? Demon-Killing? Does it have something to do with the Demon-Killing Supreme Thearch?”

“Clever!”

Qi Qingchen nodded and continued, “The Demon-Killing Supreme Thearch was a natural talent. After ascending from the Lower Domain, he shot up to the peak like a shooting star. In just a couple of years, he became a King-Ranked martial artist. Later on, he ascended to the Heaven Domain. He was just one man with one sword, who killed his way to become a thearch. He took over the Demon-Killing Domain and created the Demon-Killing Pavilion!

“It was a pity that when the Supreme Thearch led his army to clear out invaders from the Netherworld Race, he fell into their trap. The entire army fell into a deep pit. In order to protect them and allow them to retreat, the Supreme Thearch fought the Netherworld Thearch alone. At last, he was killed by the Netherworld Thearch himself.

“When he died, he threw his battle armor and his weapons into the Demon-Killing Palace. Then, he cut open the void and sent the Demon-Killing Palace there. This Demon-Killing Palace itself is a Primordial Spiritual Treasure. Ordinarily, people would not be able to find it. However, every now and then, twenty-seven Demon-Killing Pearls will fly out of the Demon-Killing Palace. With the help of these pearls, people would be able to locate the Demon-Killing Palace and enter it.

“The Demon-Killing Palace is said to contain three thousand secret techniques, seven thousand mystical abilities, ten thousand Primitive Spiritual Treasures, and the Demon-Killing Supreme Thearch’s Demon-Killing sword and Demon-Killing Armor—which are Primordial Spiritual Treasures. Whether people would be able to obtain these or not would depend on their luck. After the Supreme Thearch died, the Demon-Killing Palace appeared thirteen times. Each time, the people who went in came out with many rewards. The disciples of the Demon-Killing Pavilion, especially, would never return empty-handed…”

Qi Qingchen explained all these things in full detail. As Jiang Yi listened, his heart beat faster and faster.

Primitive Spiritual Treasures were already very powerful. How much more powerful would Dao Heaven Spiritual Treasures and the legendary Primordial Spiritual Treasures be? If one was to wear the Demon-Killing Armor, would even King-Ranked martial artists find it impossible to kill them?

“This pearl must have been left behind by the divine tree.”

Jiang Yi pondered for a moment. Things could not be that coincidental. The pearl was buried shallowly underground. Whoever that pa.s.sed by this place would be able to find it for sure.

However, on second thought, he decided to hand the pearl over to Qi Qingchen. “Qingchen, go and find your treasures. I’m not as strong as you, and I’m not lacking in treasures. I have three Primitive Spiritual Treasures already. You’re still wearing supreme-grade battle armor.”

“Pfff…”

Qi Qingchen laughed immediately, making her look stunning. Then, she shook her head and said, “This pearl alone allows three of us to enter. Don’t act generous; I’m sure you want to go in as well. We can go in together. We’re all from the Demon-Killing Pavilion. I’ll see if our luck would be heaven-defying this time and if we would be able to obtain a mystical ability or secret technique or something.”

“Three of us?”

Jiang Yi’s eyes lit up. Who would complain about having too many treasures? He might even be able to obtain more mystical abilities or secret techniques, and the Demon-Killing Supreme Thearch’s ones at that. He was the best formidable martial artist in the history of mankind.

“Alright, we can go in together. There’s one more slot left; you can think about who should go.” Jiang Yi rubbed his hands together excitedly and asked, “When are we going? Where’s the Demon-Killing Palace?”

“What’s the hurry?”

Qi Qingchen smiled bitterly and said, “I remember when I last looked up information about the Demon-Killing Palace, there were several recommendations there. After the Demon-Killing Pearls appear, the Demon-Killing Palace would appear after three months. However, it would normally appear in the Heaven Domain. We have to make a trip there. Don’t be too anxious. Allow me to send a message to ask my father about it.”

“The Heaven Domain?”

Jiang Yi looked up at the void overhead. Suddenly, the hairs on his neck stood up. He had never gone to the Heaven Domain before. Compared to the Heaven Domain, the Earth Domain was like a playground. Most of the Heaven Domain was already taken over by the Netherworld Realm. There was only one domain struggling to hang in there. Demons were dancing all over the place.

“Look at you being useless!”

Qi Qingchen saw the expression on Jiang Yi’s face and immediately mocked him. “We’re not really going to the Heaven Domain. If I’m not wrong, the Demon-Killing Palace would appear in the Chaos Sea between the Heaven Domain and Earth Domain. That’s where it appeared each time, too. Don’t worry… the Chaos Sea is very safe. The Netherworld Realm’s army seldom goes there because many human soldiers reside there. The human army could easily close the door and beat them up if they enter.”

“Oh, oh!”

Jiang Yi nodded and said, “There’s no point talking about all these things now. Go and clarify things before we discuss further. That’s right, there’s still one more slot. We can ask your father to come with us. That’ll ensure that we’ll be safer.”

“Majesty Father?”

Qi Qingchen shook her head and said, “Majesty Father will not go for sure. Throughout history, most of the people who went searching for treasures in the Demon-Killing Palace were young people. The older generation never joined the party. It was much easier for young people to enter and look for treasures. En… let’s talk about it more when we get back.”

“Alright!”

Jiang Yi looked in the direction where the divine tree once stood and bowed three times. Then, he retrieved his Spatial-Tearing Gloves and led Qi Qingchen out of the Purgatory Mystic Realm.

Swis.h.!.+

An hour after the two of them left, a black phantom floated over from the south. This person scanned the surroundings, looked up, and grinned. “Sovereign, you have calculated very accurately. The fish have taken the bait. Jiang Yi and Qi Qingchen will both be going to the Demon-Killing Palace, won’t they? The plan is in motion…”
