This made him nervous again, and he couldn’t help asking, "What’s wrong? Lord Xuan King."

"Excellent tea!"

Chen Xuan smiled and then took a sip.

Instantly, his mouth was filled with a fresh fragrance, and... not only that, a strange energy even reached his sea of consciousness.

The golden divine soul became excited the moment it saw this energy.

Its small mouth opened, and with a sudden inhale.

The energy was absorbed into its stomach at once.

Chen Xuan only felt his whole being clear and refreshed, and then spoke, "It seems I was wrong just now, it’s not good tea... it’s top-notch tea!"

"Phew—"

Jiang Qi showed a bitter smile, for a moment he really felt like he had experienced the extremes of hot and cold.

When Chen Xuan said it wasn’t good tea, he was truly frightened.

Fortunately, he promptly said the phrase ’top-notch tea’ afterwards!

Only then did he feel a sense of relief.

"Hahaha..."

Chen Xuan burst into laughter, "Alright, thank you truly, it is indeed good tea."

Jiang Qi wiped the sweat off his forehead, pretending to be aggrieved, "You really scared me to death, Your Majesty."

"Come on, for someone who can manage a Dark Moon branch, that’s hardly the case."

"Hehe, Your Majesty Xuan’s words make me feel quite flattered."

Jiang Qi said humbly, then asked, "I don’t know what you wish to inquire about, my lord?"

"The Black-winged Simurgh Shadow!"

"I want to know where I can find it?"

The Black-winged Simurgh Shadow!

Jiang Qi’s eyebrows furrowed slightly.

"What, you don’t know either?"

If even Dark Moon doesn’t know, that’s troublesome.

"No, no, that’s not it, I do know about the Black-winged Simurgh Shadow, but..."

He hesitated as he spoke.

"Just say it!"

"Yes!"

Jiang Qi cupped his hands, then continued, "The Black-winged Simurgh Shadow is in the Extreme Southern Plains, where the temperature is too low, even an average Dao Realm cultivator can’t withstand it."

"And the Extreme Southern Plains are fraught with danger, with a large number of high-level Demon Beasts."

"If you’re not at a high level in the Dao Realm, there’s only one outcome if you enter there—death!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan’s brow furrowed deeply. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

He knew about the Extreme Southern Plains.

Indeed, as Jiang Qi said, it’s not just dangerous, it’s practically a death trap.

A death trap for the Human Race!

So even though there are many rare treasures in the Extreme Southern Plains, few dare to venture there.

The reason is not only the extreme cold and countless demon beasts, but also... the spiritual qi in the Extreme Southern Plains is very sparse.

Almost to the point of being nonexistent.

The Human Race can only use elixirs to restore spiritual power inside.

Otherwise, just those demon beasts alone would be enough to tempt Great Yu, but the reality is, Great Yu also dares not easily step into the Extreme Southern Plains.

"And the Black-winged Simurgh Shadow is very fast, capturing it in the Extreme Southern Plains is too difficult."

At this time, Jiang Qi continued.

"Thank you very much!"

Chen Xuan nodded.

Having obtained the information he wanted, Chen Xuan left Dark Moon.

Upon returning to the Prince’s Mansion, he found the map of Great Yu.

"Here!"

Chen Xuan pointed to the southernmost part of Great Yu, marked in bright red letters.

"Phew—"

He exhaled a long breath, his brows deeply furrowed.

"This is going to be tough!"

But the array refining by Tang Gu must have the essence blood of the Black-winged Simurgh Shadow.

After a long while!

"There’s no choice but to go!"

Chen Xuan said quietly.

The coordinates of the Human Realm must be found, otherwise, even if the Heaven-Reaching Bamboo is found later, it cannot be sent back.

So he had no choice but to make a trip to the Extreme Southern Plains.

...

That night, Chen Xuan, with Tang Gu, once again arrived at the entrance to the fifth floor of the Three Judicial Departments.

Upon returning, he immediately began to work on upgrading the Myriad Manifestation Skill.

The Extreme Southern Plains are full of dangers, and the range of spiritual power at the Dao level is wider, making it not only safer but also better for finding the Black-winged Simurgh Shadow.

"Dao level!"

In the room, Chen Xuan said to himself.

His gaze fell on the golden-glowing interface.

"Upgrade the Myriad Manifestation Skill!"

As his words fell.

"Boom!"

A surging energy appeared in the sea of consciousness, and in the center, the divine soul was instantly excited upon seeing this energy appear.

In an instant, it came to this energy.

It opened its arms wide, wearing a face of enjoyment, absorbing it.

At the same time, a vast amount of cultivation insights into the Myriad Manifestation Skill appeared in the sea of consciousness.

Chen Xuan dared not neglect, and immediately began to comprehend.

One day, two days...

The sixteenth level of the Myriad Manifestation Skill encompasses everything, even including many profound arrays, similar to those in the Library Pavilion with various mental states.

So Chen Xuan spent more time this time than ever before.

One and a half months later.

The originally clear sky suddenly dimmed, and moments later, it was like nighttime.

"What’s going on?"

"Why has the sky darkened?"

"Is someone crossing a Spirit Tribulation?"

....

For a moment, discussions erupted throughout Moran City.

However, they had seen something like this once before, and among many powerful Martial Dao practitioners, so even though the phenomenon changed suddenly, it did not cause panic.

Within the Three Judicial Departments, Ye Jinghong instantaneously appeared high in the sky.

"It’s the Prince Xuan’s Mansion again!"

Is it that woman’s Realm Breakthrough Dao Realm?

People are truly becoming numb to it.

"No, it’s not right!"

A moment later, Ye Jinghong sensed something was amiss.

"This is... a Spirit Cultivator breaking through to the Dao level!"

That could only mean one thing... it’s Chen Xuan!

"What a monster!"

At this moment, he couldn’t help but curse.

Martial cultivators are already abnormal, but spirit cultivators are also this defiant, don’t they allow anyone else to live?

"Sigh—"

He sighed a long sigh of helplessness.

Once upon a time, he also considered himself a genius, just that he wasn’t too interested in cultivation.

Even so, he still cultivated to the Dao Realm.

But now compared to Chen Xuan... forget it, there’s simply no comparison.

"This talent is no worse than those top-notch geniuses in the Imperial City, is it?"
