Chapter 687
Previously, only Yun Yao's head and neck were visible above the surface of the Dead Sea. Although Chen Xuan used his Dao Eye Divine Power to vaguely see the general outline underwater through the pitch-black water, there were still many obstructions.
At this moment, as the corpse of the witch Yun Yao was pulled ashore, a flawless female body was revealed to everyone.
It can be said that, apart from the shocking sword wound that pierced through his heart, every part of this body is perfectly proportioned, like a masterpiece sculpted by God.
"Her consciousness has not yet fully recovered, yet she can shake my Dao heart with the allure emanating naturally from her physical body alone. As expected of the Holy Maiden of the Ancient Demon Palace, she must have been the dream beauty of the first generation of prodigies from various sects and tribes in her lifetime." Chen Xuan marveled inwardly.
Although Chen Xuan had no ulterior motives towards the corpse, he felt that it was inappropriate to expose her to the public without any cover.
With a wave of his hand, the Northern Underworld Immortal Mansion flashed with light, directly taking the corpse of the ancient Demon Palace Saintess into its space.
"Even if I can't obtain the ancient inheritance 'Illusion Demon Heart Sutra,' I can still use the alluring aura naturally emanating from this corpse to temper my Dao heart time and time again," Chen Xuan secretly calculated. In his view, obtaining the 'Illusion Demon Heart Sutra' would be ideal, but even if he didn't, he wouldn't suffer a loss.
In short, now that we've taken action, we must expect to gain something.
He only glanced at Yun Yao's physical body, and the alluring aura she naturally exuded shook his Dao heart like a surging wave.
He knew that if this witch were to truly resurrect at this moment and stand before him, she could probably make them her servants with just a flick of her finger, willing to go through fire and water for her, even unto death.
Such a terrifyingly alluring atmosphere—given Chen Xuan's understanding of the Dao, he knew that the path of allure that Yun Yao possessed must be a complete Great Dao. However, he was still unsure whether this path of allure was an ordinary minor path, or a Dao Realm containing endless mysteries.
"Senior...you actually pulled that ancient witch's corpse out of the Dead Sea?" a cultivator stammered, his eyes filled with disbelief, as if he had witnessed the most incredible thing in the world.
“Senior, that corpse is extremely dangerous. I suggest that you burn or bury it after you reach the other side,” another cultivator said cautiously, his face full of worry.
"I once heard a legend that someone was crossing the Dead Sea when he saw a ribbon floating on the surface. Later, the ribbon was washed ashore on the ship and happened to be found by a rogue cultivator from a barren land. At first, no one paid any attention to the ribbon, but in the end, that rogue cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Realm actually sold the ribbon to 'Wanbaoshan,' the largest merchant guild in Xuanxiao, and sold it for a full million catties of Origin Liquid!" A cultivator recounted the story vividly, his eyes gleaming with excitement.
……
Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan turned around in astonishment, "Is this just a legend, or did it actually happen?"
"This junior dares not conceal the truth from the senior; this matter truly did occur a thousand years ago. Because the ribbon had been immersed in the Dead Sea for a long time, it did not emit any magical power when it was first brought ashore. However, not long afterward, someone discovered that it was actually a Celestial-grade magical ribbon." The cultivator dared not conceal anything and recounted the story with a serious and earnest expression.
"A celestial-grade magic weapon?" Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan was also shocked, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes.
"Later, after careful examination, Wanbaoshan determined that the dazzling nine-colored flowing cloud belt was a magical artifact used by the Holy Maiden of the Yaoguang Holy Land, a sacred land tens of thousands of years ago," the cultivator continued, his tone filled with amazement at the treasure.
Chen Xuan looked at the man who was telling the story and asked, "What happened to the rogue cultivator who obtained the immortal-grade magic treasure?"
"He suddenly acquired such a huge fortune, and at that time he had already arrived in Qingtian County. Even though some people coveted that million catties of Origin Liquid, they dared not make a move rashly in Qingtian County," the man recounted in detail. "After obtaining this fortune, he spent half of it that very day, purchasing many treasures that could change the aptitude of his physical body. After being cleansed and refined by these many treasures of creation, his aptitude underwent a qualitative improvement. Within a thousand years, with the remaining 500,000 catties of Origin Liquid, he went from being an unknown rogue cultivator in a barren land to breaking through to become the patriarch of a mid-level sect, and even a Returning Void Immortal."
Once this legendary story of a loser's rise to power was told, many cultivators from remote areas at the Foundation Establishment Realm couldn't help but feel longing, their eyes sparkling with anticipation.
Chen Xuan nodded slightly, marveling at the various wondrous opportunities and chances of creation in this great world of cultivators.
Seeing Chen Xuan's reaction, the man sighed softly, shook his head, and continued, "But it was precisely because this example was so shocking that Dead Sea City was thrown into complete chaos during that period. First, the city lord was killed, and then replaced by someone else. Within a hundred years, all rogue cultivators could no longer cross the Dead Sea by boat and had to travel a million miles to reach Qingtian County."
"Oh? Is that so?" Chen Xuan's interest was piqued, and he continued to press, "Why is that?"
