Chapter 1194 - 1219: Seeking Soul Medicine

"Palace Master, achieving peace between Immortal Beasts and immortals seems difficult. Although we’re in Sky-Spirit Valley and don’t know the true situation outside, we inherently despise immortals.

In terms of defense power, immortals aren’t as strong as us Immortal Beasts. In terms of wisdom, we’re not inferior to immortals, and we can also transform into their appearance, which is something they can’t compare with. The rightful rulers of the Immortal Realm should be us Immortal Beasts, not the current immortals," the Golden Dragon King said.

"That’s not entirely true. The strength of immortals is something you can’t underestimate. Their weapons and magical treasures are beyond your creation, especially the magical treasures that are incredibly powerful. An ordinary immortal with a mighty magical treasure can fight against several or even dozens of Immortal Beasts of the same level, something you cannot achieve.

Moreover, I have dual identities, being both an immortal and part of the Dragon Race. My greatest wish is for Immortal Beasts and immortals to coexist peacefully, to end the thousands of years of wars between them. However, this task is very arduous, and I might need your assistance when the time comes," Chu Linfeng said.

"This seems unrealistic. We are naturally repulsed by immortals, and immortals are similarly predatory towards us Immortal Beasts, their desire for our Beast Pills is blatant. Just like when the Palace Master slaughtered the Tiger Elephant Beasts, the direct reason must have been for the Beast Pills," the Phoenix King said.

"Slaughtering the Tiger Elephant Beasts was because their Beast Pills contained the Power of Thunder and Lightning, which greatly helps my strength. This world is inherently one of the weak being preyed upon by the strong, containing pros and cons, and contradictions. Some things shouldn’t be wholly considered; as long as wars don’t occur, it’s harmless for some Immortal Beasts or immortals to die.

If enhancing strength were possible, I believe you might also kill other Immortal Beasts. This is separate from ending wars between Immortal Beasts and immortals. This matter will be set aside for now. I have two main purposes for coming to Sky-Spirit Valley. One is to seek rare Soul Medicine, and the other is to see how dangerous this infamous valley truly is," Chu Linfeng said.

Even Chu Linfeng himself felt awkward saying this, trying to be a gentleman while becoming a villain. But, due to his Ancestral Dragon identity, no one dared to oppose his views, and even if there was some reluctance internally, acceptance was all that could be offered.

"Sky-Spirit Valley indeed has many dangerous areas. Despite living here, there are still many places we haven’t visited. This valley is immense, with many areas sealed by restrictions that even with our late-stage Immortal Emperor capabilities, we cannot break.

About the top-level Soul Medicine the Palace Master mentioned, I know of a place, but it’s equally perilous. I unintentionally entered once and nearly lost my life there," the Golden Dragon King said.

Upon hearing this, Chu Linfeng was instantly delighted. The Soul Medicine was mainly for the Jade Immortal Emperor, so the news brought great excitement. "Where is it? I’ve decided to go personally and take a look."

"It’s a gigantic lake. The Soul Medicine grows at the bottom. At that time, I inadvertently passed the lake surface and saw light emanating from the bottom. Intrigued, I entered the lake’s depths, not knowing there were powerful undercurrents there, which still haunt me with fear.

At the time, I was sucked into these undercurrents, feeling like my whole body would fall apart. The currents were incredibly corrosive. When I escaped, my muscles were almost gone. If I hadn’t had the late-stage Immortal Emperor Realm, I might have been killed by the currents.

The Soul Medicine is located in stone cracks beneath the currents. If the Palace Master really wishes to go, caution is paramount," the Golden Dragon King said.

Chu Linfeng was slightly stunned. It’s rare for undercurrents to be both corrosive and potent—could these currents contain Dark Element?

"What color are the currents? Do they have a pungent or unusual smell?" Chu Linfeng promptly asked.

"The currents are black and appear suddenly, causing me to be drawn in as if someone was controlling them. I suggest the Palace Master avoid going," the Golden Dragon King said.

"Though top-level Soul Medicine is scarce, regular Soul Medicine is plentiful. In Sky-Spirit Valley, there are many rare Immortal Grasses and Elixirs. If needed, we can find some for you," the Phoenix King said.

"That would be excellent. I need Immortal Grasses and Elixirs for healing and boosting strength. However, they need to be refined into Elixirs, so Phoenix King can oversee this task," Chu Linfeng said.

Chu Linfeng primarily said this because Wei Qun would soon ascend to the Immortal Realm. As the Medicine King of Ancient Times, refining top-grade Elixirs naturally requires Immortal Grasses and Elixirs, serving as a welcome gift.

"Golden Dragon King, where is this lake located? Lead me there now—you can rest assured, I won’t require you to descend. I just need to know the location, for even if the lake’s currents are powerful, they can’t harm me," Chu Linfeng said.

The Golden Dragon King showed a hint of difficulty on his face. "Palace Master, the lake is tens of thousands of miles away, taking several days of flying. Are you certain you want to go?"

"Of course, I do. The sooner we go, the better. Lead the way, and others shouldn’t follow. If you know where there are Immortal Grasses and Elixirs, you may seek them out. I won’t let anyone suffer," Chu Linfeng said.

Subsequently, Chu Linfeng and the Golden Dragon King left the cave, seated on the Golden Demon Vulture’s back, feeling the wind at their ears. Even the Golden Dragon King was touched by the moment. The Golden-winged Roc is incredibly noble, yet he found himself riding one. If the Golden-winged Roc’s King found out, who knows what their reaction would be.

To reach the mysterious lake, they had to cross the Golden-winged Roc’s territory. If spotted, problems could arise, but at the moment, he dared not inform Chu Linfeng.

After flying for roughly two days, they arrived at a mountaintop. Chu Linfeng promptly instructed the Golden Demon Vulture to stop, as continuous flying greatly depletes Immortal Spirit Power.

He took out several top-grade Immortal Stones for it to absorb, also allowing for some rest. Seeing the top-grade Immortal Stones in Chu Linfeng’s hands, the Golden Dragon King was taken aback, "Palace Master has such treasures, as these are truly rare."

Chu Linfeng felt curious seeing the Golden Dragon King’s expression, "Doesn’t Sky-Spirit Valley have such Crystal Stones? How do you enhance your strength, reaching the late-stage Immortal Emperor Realm?"

"I’m not sure if Sky-Spirit Valley has such Crystal Stones, but many immortals who ascend the Divine Realm possess many of these. We often acquire some.

Some Crystal Stones are even stronger than those in the Palace Master’s hand. We sometimes absorb these to boost our strength, and over millions of years, our abilities have naturally reached this state," the Golden Dragon King said.

At that moment, several piercing bird cries echoed from above. Chu Linfeng looked up to see enormous birds identical to the Golden Demon Vulture appearing overhead...
