AST 2437 – Giant Spirit Divine Manor’s Treasure Map, Nine Stars Emperor City

Qing Shui retracted his Marrow Nibbling Golden Dragon Silkworm . The only thing you gained from killing someone was their head on the floor; Qing Shui hadn’t wanted to kill, but these types of battle didn’t allow one to hold back . The price of being merciful would be the cruelest for yourself .

Ling Chen’s body was drenched in cold sweat . After all, he had just taken a trip to the gates of death . In all honesty, he didn’t think Qing Shui would let him live . Under such circumstances, he wouldn’t have done it if their roles were to be reversed .

Ling Chen wiped his sweat and approached Qing Shui . Any demonic beasts from before were kept, leaving an empty land around them . It was because of this that everyone took a rest .

“Young brother, to be honest, I didn’t think you’d let me off . ” Ling Chen was happy and contented like he had just been given a new lease of life .

“Actually, I didn’t have any intention of killing you . Are you still repaying Miraculous Physician Pang’s favor?” Qing Shui laughed .

“I can’t say . I owe him a favor, so it wouldn’t be loyal to talk about it . ” Ling Chen spoke honorably .

“Pfft! Isn’t that equivalent to you revealing it? I see you truly aren’t loyal . ” Nuo Lan laughed .

Ling Chen stared absentmindedly at Nuo Lan . This woman was too alluring . When he snapped back to reality, he chuckled embarrassedly . “Sister, I was startled by your goddess-like beauty . I was reckless earlier, please don’t take offense . ”

Qing Shui was stunned . Watching Ling Chen, he realized that he was still a young man…

Nuo Lan didn’t seem to blame him . “Cut it off . The men who dared say those words to me didn’t have a good end . Some of them aren’t even men anymore . Do you want to give it a try?”

Qing Shui and Nuo Lan had been with each other for some time now without progress, just like him with Ziche Sha . Now Qing Shui could tell that Nuo Lan seemed to like Ling Chen .

“I’ll pass . I’ve never had a woman . If I stopped being a man just like that, it’d be a lifelong regret . ” Ling Chen shook his head frantically .

Hao Tian burst into laughter . “You’re a virgin?”

“Is that embarrassing?” Ling Chen froze as he seemed to realize he made a small mistake .

“He is . I can confirm with my physician’s sight . I had wondered if you weren’t allowed to lose your virginity due to cultivation, but I don’t think that’s the case . And it wasn’t like you’re incapable… Unless it’s a psychological problem?” Qing Shui smiled .

“Don’t, don’t . I’ll tell you myself . Don’t speculate . I did have to remain a virgin due to my cultivation previously, but I had broken through three years ago, so that’s no longer necessary…”

“So, you have never done it in three years…” Hao Tian clicked his tongue at Ling Chen .

“I didn’t find anyone suitable . I’m a traditional person…”

Ling Chen’s words made many of the men roll their eyes . Nuo Lan turned her attention to Qing Shui . “You’re sure whatever you said before is true?”

“What did I say?” Qing Shui smiled .

Nuo Lan’s expression looked rigid . “Rascal, you know what I mean . Quick . ”

“Alright, alright . I’m sure . Whatever I said before is true . ” Qing Shui retained his smile .

Everyone understood now . It turned out that Nuo Lan’s preference in men was…

Nuo Lan panicked at the crowd’s attention on her . “What are you looking at? I want to find a man who belongs only to me . ”

Ling Chen’s eyes lit up . “Does that mean I can…”

Nuo Lan’s gaze turned cold as she stared at Ling Chen . “Did I say anything about us?”

“No, no . Don’t be angry, Miss . Anger won’t do good for your health . Oh, right . This is Giant Spirit Divine Manor, why don’t we take a look inside . ” Ling Chen wasn’t a fool . He knew that Ling Chen was interested in him and was exceptionally happy .

It was then when everyone saw the words on the stone wall, Giant Spirit Divine Manor .

The words seemed decent . It wasn’t their kind of gorgeous, but it might be due to the era when it was written . It was faded, but the handwriting was forceful, revealing a feeling of ferocity beyond compare .

“There’s no door?” Everyone searched but couldn’t find one .

“We can blast through this stone wall . ” Qing Shui’s Heavenly Vision Technique saw that it was empty and landed a punch right after speaking .

Rumble!

Giant boulders collapsed, revealing a huge hole .

“What a paradise . ” Feeling the Spiritual Qi from within, Ling Chen smiled .

“Let’s head in . Perhaps there are some treasures in there . ” Tugging the two women with him, Qing Shui said . Ling Chen shamelessly followed behind Nuo Lan at a distance, not too near or far .

The people entered the hole . It wasn’t dark inside . There was a tunnel as corridor, covered in a thick layer of dust . After a few kilometers, a great palace appeared before them . It was about two hundred meters tall and a few kilometers in width and length . It had been a huge project to have built this along the walls of a mountain .

Giant Spirit Divine Manor!

The words appeared once more in the center of the great palace with a mural below it . The mural illustrated powerful giants wearing armor, holding a huge club or a spear without its head .

There was a stone table below the mural but there was nothing on top of it . This reminded Qing Shui of the Daoist Temple once more; could that have been the real Giant Spirit Divine Manor?

After searching the area, they found absolutely nothing . It was too clean, to the extent that it seemed unbelievable .

However, there was nothing for them to do but accept reality . Before they left, Qing Shui took the mural . It was a regular drawing, but Qing Shui decided to keep it . Just as he flipped it over to roll it up, he was stunned .

There was a map and a line of words . Nine Suns Domain, Nine Suns True Dragon Mountain .

Qing Shui kept the map without uttering a word . He wouldn’t be able to go there now for it was the strongest domain within the Upper Three Regions . Searching for treasure there would be equivalent to seeking death . He’d revisit this place when he grew stronger .

What he found should have been a hidden treasure map .

Overall, including what they had gotten from the Daoist Temple, they gained decently from the trip . Qing Shui even had a feeling that the Daoist Temple might have been shifted from here…

……

The group left the territory after a week and even the Ice Star Nation . Even though it was near Ice Star Nation’s Emperor City, Qing Shui didn’t wish to return . Nine Stars Domain had a special place which was higher than any country .

Nine Stars Emperor City . It was said that this was where the Nine Stars gathered and where it was protected by the Nine Stars . It was a huge city and the most terrifying place in the Nine Stars Domain . Nine Stars Emperor City was filled with strong warriors . Any powerful force would think of a way to get in here .

The Nine Continents Mighty Spear Sect, Ling Chen’s clan, was at Nine Stars Emperor City . Qing Shui hesitated but decided to head over in the end . The Demon Gate and Divine Palace there should be the strongest in Nine Stars Domain . Qing Shui would really have to properly stop there for a while; his own abilities were no longer enough to disregard other groups of superior warriors…

Ling Chen naturally welcomed Qing Shui and the rest . His heart was fully on Nuo Lan now, and he planned to follow Qing Shui . Of course, he had an ulterior motive, but it didn’t seem to be as troublesome now . Moreover, he had had progress with Nuo Lan during the past few days like taking a stroll together at times…
