Chapter 515 - 513: Spatial Crystal Stone

He discovered that the Dragon-locking Realm was still under a seal.

Jiang Chen grew excited.

This meant the Dragon-locking Realm’s space wasn’t limited to just a ten-kilometer radius.

If he could break the seal, there would surely be even more space.

He just didn’t know what kind of power had been used to seal it.

In his past life, Jiang Chen could have easily figured it out. But with his current lack of strength, all he could do was sigh in helplessness.

’The first priority is to repair the space.’

’And repairing it requires Spatial Crystal Stones.’

’I wonder where I can even find Spatial Crystal Stones in this Lower Realm?’

Jiang Chen frowned slightly.

He had obtained the Dragon-locking Realm, but actually making use of it was proving to be incredibly difficult.

Not only did he have to break the seal, but he also needed to repair the realm’s space.

Spatial Crystal Stones were essential, but they were extremely difficult to find in the Lower Realm.

Jiang Chen was suddenly in a bind.

If he couldn’t obtain Spatial Crystal Stones, the Dragon-locking Realm might truly collapse within a year.

Standing inside the Dragon-locking Realm, he could feel a destructive power brewing, a clear sign that the realm did not have long to live.

The damaged space would gradually be swallowed by spatial rifts and disappear.

When that happened, the Dragon-locking Realm would be utterly destroyed.

’Most people don’t even know about a treasure like the Spatial Crystal Stone.’

’Only experts with profound Cultivation might have some inkling about them.’

Not only did Jiang Chen not know any such experts, but the Spatial Crystal Stones were also incredibly precious. Why would anyone just hand them over to him?

Faced with this dilemma, Jiang Chen sank into thought.

’Without Spatial Crystal Stones, the Dragon-locking Realm is useless.’

’Wait, there’s someone who might know where to find Spatial Crystal Stones.’

A sudden flash of inspiration struck Jiang Chen.

He thought of someone.

’Fang Yinzi! That old monster has lived for over ten thousand years. He should know something about where to find Spatial Crystal Stones. I might as well give him a try.’

The thought spurred Jiang Chen into action.

A Spatial Magical Treasure was simply too important to him.

He had to repair the Dragon-locking Realm.

After all, the chances of encountering a Spatial Magical Treasure in the Lower Realm were few.

As an Alchemist, he needed a large amount of materials for alchemy. If he could repair the Dragon-locking Realm, he would have a place to plant Spirit Grass and refine large quantities of Elixirs.

He could even cultivate some rare materials.

The more he thought about it, the more Jiang Chen felt he had to repair the Dragon-locking Realm.

WHOOSH!

With a flash, he exited the Dragon-locking Realm and reappeared in his secret chamber.

Grasping the Dragon-locking Realm, Jiang Chen left the chamber immediately.

He didn’t want to wait any longer.

When he arrived at the Third Prince’s residence, the Prince himself was there.

"Jiang the Military Advisor, what brings you here?"

The Third Prince watched Jiang Chen walk in with surprise and quickly greeted him politely.

Jiang Chen was now his Military Advisor, and after witnessing his incredible abilities, the Prince was more determined than ever to keep him close. With Jiang Chen’s help, his grand ambitions were within reach.

Jiang Chen gave a slight nod in acknowledgment.

"Your Highness, I need to leave Gambling City for a few days."

"I won’t be able to help with matters here for the time being. I’ll assist you again when I return."

Indeed, Jiang Chen planned to leave Gambling City.

After all, every time he summoned Fang Yinzi, the commotion was huge and could easily disturb the Martial Cultivators of Gambling City.

So he planned to leave Gambling City and summon Fang Yinzi in a remote place, to avoid causing too much of a stir and frightening people.

"This..."

The Third Prince was a bit flustered. He had just won Jiang Chen over, and now Jiang Chen wanted to leave. Naturally, he was worried that Jiang Chen wouldn’t come back.

Jiang Chen smiled. "Your Highness, rest assured, I will be back soon. I’m just going out to take care of something."

The Third Prince was finally relieved and nodded. "Very well. Go and attend to your business."

He knew well that he lacked the power to truly keep a man like Jiang Chen from leaving if he wished.

After bidding farewell to the Third Prince, Jiang Chen had a word with Xiao Jun, leaving him at the Third Prince’s Mansion before departing immediately.

He didn’t go to the manor to see Zhan Yang and the others either.

The moment he left Gambling City, Jiang Chen shot into the sky, streaking through the air at high speed.

Jiang Chen flew for hundreds of miles in one go.

He finally stopped near the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain.

Finding a mountain peak, Jiang Chen landed on its summit.

Without a word, he began chanting the Spell.

’Summon Fang Yinzi.’

At Jiang Chen’s summons, the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain stirred once more.

On the mountain peak where the Ghost Temple was located, a shadow flew out of the Ghost Temple, heading straight for the peak where Jiang Chen was.

SWOOSH!

In a flash, the shadow materialized into Fang Yinzi beside Jiang Chen.

He immediately boomed, "Kid, who are we killing?"

Hearing Fang Yinzi’s words, Jiang Chen was instantly speechless.

’This old man, all he thinks about is killing the moment he shows up.’

He hurriedly explained, "Senior, this time it’s not about killing. I want to ask you something."

Fang Yinzi was very displeased.

"You brat! You summon me but don’t let me kill anyone? Then what did you summon me for?"

"Honestly! You got my hopes up that I’d get to kill someone again."

Jiang Chen almost fell over.

’This old man is addicted to killing.’

He gave a wry smile. "It’s like this... it’s really not about killing this time."

"I summoned you to ask if you know where in this world I can find Spatial Crystal Stones."

Fang Yinzi froze. So it really wasn’t a mission to kill someone.

He rolled his eyes.

Then his eyes suddenly widened, and he asked, "Kid, what are you looking for Spatial Crystal Stones for?"

"That stuff is precious."

Jiang Chen said, "I have a use for them. Senior, if you know where they are, please tell me."

Fang Yinzi was silent for a moment.

He pinched his fingers together, performing a quick calculation.

Then he shook his head. "These Spatial Crystal Stones are extremely rare. Even I don’t know where to find any."

Jiang Chen was a little discouraged.

Even Fang Yinzi didn’t know.

He stood there, at a loss for words.

Suddenly, another thought struck Jiang Chen.

’Wait, I still have the Ten Directions Calculation! I’ll use it to find out exactly where the Spatial Crystal Stones are.’

He immediately put his thought into action.

With a wave of his hand, an illusory Compass materialized before him.

Fang Yinzi asked in surprise from the side, "Kid, what is this thing?"

"Don’t bother me," Jiang Chen said coolly.

Fang Yinzi nearly choked.

This damn brat! Calling him for help one moment and telling him not to bother him the next. Fang Yinzi was furious.

As the Compass appeared, Jiang Chen commanded inwardly: ’Where are the Spatial Crystal Stones? Calculate.’

The Compass immediately began to spin with a WHIRRING sound.

Its needle spun faster and faster.

After a moment, the needle finally stopped, pointing east.

’The Spatial Crystal Stones are to the east?’

Jiang Chen was stunned.

He then looked to the east. If he continued flying east, he would reach the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain.

But the Ten Directions Calculation didn’t give a specific location, only a direction.

’If that’s the case, then east it is. I’ll try searching in that direction.’

He glanced at Fang Yinzi.

"Thank you, Senior. I have something to do, so I’ll be leaving now."

After speaking, Jiang Chen turned and left, flying toward the east.

Fang Yinzi, on the other hand, grew annoyed as he watched Jiang Chen leave.

"Damn it! That little bastard summoned me just to ask that one question."

"And then he just ditches me here when he’s done."

He gritted his teeth in fury at being so blatantly ignored. A dignified Martial Emperor, left hanging just like that.

But then, Fang Yinzi let out a sinister chuckle.

"Brat, you won’t be hopping around for much longer."

"I will soon be able to break free from the Ghost Heart. At that time, it will be your turn to be trapped in the Ghost Temple."

"Heh heh, you just wait, kid. Your happy days are numbered."

As he spoke, Fang Yinzi’s figure flashed and disappeared, descending into the Ghost Temple in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain.
