The Eternal World

In the Orchid Tomb Kingdom, there was a palace in the center. It was called the Orchid Tomb Palace.

Inside, it was as if it was the territory of the Heavenly God Palace, as if it were a painting in a dream.

In the center of a few thick white stone pillars, there was a huge pool, with a multicolored light spraying out, in the middle of the pool stood a statue.

The statue was dressed in armor and had a cape raised. With one hand holding a helmet between its ribs, the other holding a long sword with the blade pointed downwards.

And at the foot of the statue, was the entire Lanling Continent.

One of the peak existences of the Fifth Heaven Domain — — Orchid Mountain King!

At the same time, a man wearing a golden-white robe was looking into the pool.

Within the pool, there were a few weird-looking fish swimming around.

These fish were all unusual and rare ancient species.

Suddenly, a series of distortions occurred in the nearby space. Quickly after, a man whose entire body was enveloped in pitch-black walked out and arrived before that man. He even knelt down on one knee with respect.

"Respected King!"

"En!" The man by the pool answered lightly, but he did not turn around. Instead, he continued to watch the Ancient Fish in the pool and said slowly, "During this time when I was in seclusion, is everything alright in the dynasty?"

From his words and body, he looked exactly the same as the sculpture in the pond, only a lot older. This proved that he was Lanling Continent, the highest ruler of the entire Lanling King Dynasty — the Lanling King!

"Reporting to King, everything is fine. The demi-demon king has not made any movements either. It's just a small fight, so there's no need to worry!" The person replied respectfully.

"Yeah, that's good. There shouldn't be any problems at the border, right?" The Lan Ling King continued after nodding his head.

"No, the borders have always been very safe!"

"Humph, if there's something at the border, although This King doesn't want to interfere, due to that Great Treasure Holy Saint's face, I can't sit idly by!" The King of Lanling coldly snorted. It seemed that he was very unwilling to help them fight the war at the border.

"That's right, honorable king. Although you have been in seclusion for a few years and nothing major has happened, your subordinate has heard an interesting rumor recently!" The person suddenly said.

"Oh? Tell me about some interesting rumors! " The Lan Ling King spoke slowly.

"Please take a look at this first!" The newcomer took out a small box and handed it over with both hands.

With a gentle wave of his hand, the Lan Ling King opened the lid, revealing the contents within.

It was a medicinal pill.

It was about the size of a fingernail, completely dark green in color, and exuded a delicate fragrance.

"Heaven Grade pill?" Seeing that, the Lan Ling King's expression could not help but change. He directly extended his hand, took out the pellet, and carefully examined it.

"That's right, it's a heaven-step pill, Bone Tempering Soul Reversal Pill!" After a moment, with a light flick of his finger, the pill turned into powder and fell to the ground.

"Although Heaven Grade medicinal pellets are not rare in our Fifth Heaven Domain and there are many people who can refine them, but … However, no one should be able to refine this Bone Tempering Soul Reversal Pill! "

"Wang is right!" The person nodded his head and said, "This subordinate has checked and confirmed that the Bone Tempering Soul Reversal Pill is a pill created by the Seventh Heavenly Territory's Pill Saint, Ru Feng!"

"Wind-like … "That arrogant woman …" The Lan Ling King narrowed his eyes. It was unknown what he was thinking about. After a long time, he licked his lips and said, "This woman will not easily spread her pill formulas, which is to say …"

"Where did you get this pill?"

"Reporting to esteemed king, according to what servants said, it was obtained from an auction. Subordinate immediately sent people to investigate and found out that the origin of this pill was in the hands of someone outside the Riverside City's first payment!" the newcomer replied.

"Riverside City? "Is it that small border city?" The Lan Ling King was somewhat surprised.

"After that, this subordinate investigated further and discovered that not only were there various high-grade medicinal pellets, but there were also many high-grade magical equipment. He made a large amount of moves in a short period of time, causing a large amount of funds from hundreds of cities to quickly flow into the Riverside City's Lu family!" The newcomer said sinisterly, "Wang, look …"

"You mean that Captain Lu wants to amass wealth and rebel?" The Lan Ling King chuckled, then waved his hand: "This shouldn't happen, these ants don't have the guts to do so!"

"Our Lanling Kingdom is not a kingdom of mortals. With a large amount of money as a backing, we can recruit and buy troops. No matter how much money he has, do you think he can buy an expert in the way of the king?"

"What Wang said is correct, but I am unable to figure out the intentions behind Landlord Lu's actions, so I did not alert you. I have come to report it to you first!" The newcomer nodded.

"Although this sort of trivial matter is insignificant, it's very likely to be done by the people from the Seventh Heavenly Region. This King cannot let this matter go!" The Lan Ling King asked with a gloomy tone, "What is Old Li doing now?"

"Lord Li?" Master Li is still guarding the place opposite of Half Demon Continent! the man said.

"Un, if I remember correctly, that Riverside City's City Lord should be called Li Laoqi, she should be Old Li's profound grandson, regarding this matter … … Go and inform Old Li about this and have him deal with it. If it's a big fish, you might as well make a move. "No matter who it is, to dare cause trouble in my Lanling King Dynasty, unless she, Ru Feng, personally comes and says to me, I might be able to give her face, but to do it so silently, you really don't put me in your eyes!"

"Yes, honorable king, this subordinate will handle it right away!" With that, the figure flashed and disappeared from the side of the pool.

"Oh, demi-demon king, what this duke is concerned about is you. After so many years, you still haven't made any moves, could it be that you're already dead? It would be best if you could still have a breath left in you. Wait until this king breaks through that bottleneck, then you can take your head back with your own hands! " The Lan Ling King muttered to himself as his eyes filled with a murderous light …

… ….

Riverside City.

Landlord's Residence.

Zhang Chao had been in a good mood lately.

Inside his trochophore, there were already too many crystals to count.

Ever since he had become a cultivator, he had never seen so many crystals.

It seemed that he had really made a windfall!

Besides, he had also gotten an idea about what he had to do with Landlord Lu.

It was said that in a few places, there had been people who had seen the Poison Man and Emperor Imoortal before, and it seemed that the two of them had even fought before.

Although he could not confirm the location of the two, he could deduce one thing: Poison Man was still chasing after Emperor Imoortal.

Furthermore, both of them were heavily injured, so it was possible that they had hidden somewhere to recuperate.

In short, they had already locked onto the general area of effect of the loot, and on Zhang Chao's side, he felt that the act of amassing money could more or less be stopped now.

However, what he didn't know was that trouble had arrived!

After making his preparations, he decided to set off in a few days.

The prerequisite for this was that he had concocted a few special pills that could help him recover and heal his body. This would be extremely difficult, especially if his aged meridians could be revitalized so that he could continue his cultivation.

In order to do this, one had to possess the blood of a True Dragon!

In a situation where he had no choice, he could only make a drop of blood from the body of the sleeping little black dragon that was within the trochophore.

With this, the little black dragon was immediately awakened and just as it was about to erupt with rage, Zhang Chao directly pushed the mountain of crystals in front of it.

Only after the tornado had swallowed all the crystals did the little black dragon finally dispel its anger and peacefully return to sleep.

After taking a deep breath, Zhang Chao drugged the Black Dragon blood.

He also did not know how great the medicinal properties of the Black Dragon blood were.

After all, what he wanted was true dragon blood, while the Black Dragon … Too unusual.

However, after he had finished refining the pill, he carefully observed it for a long time. He did not find anything wrong with it, so he passed it to Emissary Lu with relief.

Steward Lu was not in a hurry to consume them, but rather wanted to help Zhang Chao prepare everything on the journey. Although Zhang Chao did not need any of these things, Steward Lu insisted on taking them.

It was hard to refuse, so Zhang Chao could only thank his.

But just on the day that Zhang Chao was about to leave the Outer Palace, trouble came.

Early in the morning, Zhang Chao had already made all the preparations, and his entire body relaxed as he planned to set off on his journey.

As for the position of the Poison Man and Emperor Imoortal, he had probably locked onto it using the《 Heavenly God's Zhou technique》 and the distance between them shouldn't be too far off, it should be at least within a hundred miles.

At that moment, Landlord Lu hurried to the back garden with an anxious expression.

"What's wrong with you, Lu?" Zhang Chao asked in confusion.

"I don't know why, but when the servants opened the gate early in the morning, they found that the entire Lu Manor was surrounded by the City Lord's guards. I'll ask them, they only said that they were ordered by the City Lord and no one is allowed to enter or leave for the time being!" "It seems to me that something is about to happen," Landlord Lu said with a frown.

"So, you don't need to leave in a hurry. Wait until I find out what happened, then I'll make a decision, okay?"

"Surrounded? a guard from the City Lord's Mansion? " Hearing this, Zhang Chao's heart could not help but 'thump'.

Could it be … The thing he was worried about had actually happened?

Steward Lu finished his conversation with Zhang Chao, and then left in a hurry.

After half an hour, Riverside City's City Lord Li Laoqi, accompanied by a group of experts, majestically entered the Lu family's large courtyard.

Hehe, Brother Lu, long time no see. I heard that you were injured a while ago, but I was busy with work, so I didn't have the time to pay you a visit. But now I see you blushing and in good condition. Li Laoqi was a tall and sturdy man with tanned skin and a full beard.

"How dare we trouble the Mayor?" Landlord Lu smiled and cupped his fists, but cursed in his heart, what a busy man! How could he not know Li Laoqi's personality?

This fellow didn't know many words, and relied solely on his brute strength. Moreover, it was because of an extraordinary ancestor that he had his current status and power.

"Let's not talk about this first. Brother Lu should be able to guess the purpose of my visit today, right?" Li Laoqi waved his hands, his expression becoming gloomy.

"I'm stupid. I don't know why the city lord sealed my residence so early in the morning." Lu Li shook his head.

"Forget it, I don't want to waste my words either. I'll just say it out straight away!" Li Laoqi laughed coldly: "Brother Lu, we are all people who work for the dynasty. All these years, in order to resist the infiltration of the Half Demon Continent, you have also put in a lot of effort, and the reason why the Riverside City is so prosperous today is mostly because of you."

"But why do you live longer and older? "One must know that a felon from the private trove empire is a crime that an old man like you can't afford to bear!"
