Chapter 0957: The World of Chaotic Demons

“Not bad. The headquarters of Tianyi Mansion should have Heavenly Soul Stones and Demon Devouring Fruits!” Ok said.
“Good, then let’s head to the World of Chaotic Demons when the time comes!” Huang Long nodded.
The headquarters of Tianyi Mansion was right in the World of Chaotic Demons!
However, Huang Long wasn’t in a hurry to go there. Now that he had obtained the Spirit-Communicating Jade and was on this Wasteland Continent, he naturally wanted to thoroughly explore for treasures!
Although Huang Long already had a considerable fortune, he could never have too many treasures.
So, while using the Sacred Cauldron Formation to refine the silver-haired old man’s divine body and absorb it into the nineteen members of Huang Yi’s group, he continued to refine the Spirit-Communicating Jade.
Once the jade was fully refined, it would be the day for Huang Long to search for treasures.
As the silver-haired old man’s divine body was refined, streams of vital energy and cosmic laws emerged, which were absorbed and integrated by the nineteen members of Huang Yi’s group, continuously enhancing their strength.
Originally, they were at the peak of the early stages of three eras, but soon they broke through to the middle stages of those eras.
Peak of the middle stages of three eras!
Later stages of three eras! Then, peak of those later stages!
It wasn’t until the nineteen members of Huang Yi’s group reached the peak of the later stages of three eras, just one step away from breaking through to four eras, that their divine bodies were fully refined.
By then, Huang Long had also completely refined the Spirit-Communicating Jade.
After fully refining it, Huang Long summoned its spirit. The spirit of the Spirit-Communicating Jade was different from Zhong Huang—Zhong Huang exuded regal and domineering aura, while its spirit was a middle-aged man with a scholarly demeanor, a gentle expression, a smile, and three wisps of beard.
“I pay my respects to my master!” the spirit of the jade bowed to Huang Long after appearing.
“Good!” Huang Long smiled and told it to stand up.
After fully refining the Spirit-Communicating Jade, a layer of gem-like light appeared in Huang Long’s Sea of Souls.
“You are the spirit of the Spirit-Communicating Jade. From now on, I’ll call you King Ling!” Huang Long said.
Among the hundred sacred artifacts of the highest grade, only the Spirit-Communicating Jade was meant for treasure hunting, and calling it King Ling was truly fitting.
“Yes, thank you, master!” King Ling thanked Huang Long.
“Good, then let’s go search for treasures now!” Huang Long smiled, overjoyed. He then ordered King Ling to enter the Spirit-Communicating Jade and be stored within his body.
“King Ling, sense where there are treasures right now!” Huang Long said, while using the Sacred Cauldron to fly and instructing the spirit of the jade to sense for treasures.
“Yes, master!” King Ling replied.
Originally, Huang Long could also infuse his magic power and use the jade itself to search for treasures, but now that the jade was fully refined and assisted by its spirit, there was no need for such trouble.

Beams of precious light emanated from the Spirit-Connecting Jade, piercing through the space of the Sacred Cauldron and spreading in all directions. All treasures within a radius of over a billion li were illuminated by this light, shining forth from deep within the earth or emerging from various restrictions. “Is this the Chaos Silver Light Stone?!” Billions of li away, deep underground, a flash of silver light appeared. Upon seeing it, the Yellow Dragon blurted out the name. The Chaos Silver Light Stone! When the Yellow Dragon’s true form reached the peak of mid-tier Great Path Divine Artifacts and sought to advance to the upper tier, this very Chaos Silver Light Stone was a necessary material! Overjoyed, the Yellow Dragon reached out with his palm and seized the stone, bringing it into the Sacred Cauldron. This Chaos Silver Light Stone was over ten meters in size, more than enough for the Yellow Dragon’s needs at that time. “Wind-Dew Colorful Cloud Flowers!” “Sea-Falling Divine Pearl!” … One after another, rare treasures emerged under the light of the Spirit-Connecting Jade, all of which were absorbed by the Yellow Dragon into the Sacred Cauldron. Eventually, the Yellow Dragon became too lazy to do it himself and ordered his forty-plus Half-Saint subordinates to collect them for him. More and more rare treasures accumulated in the Sacred Cauldron. Although there were many innate divine artifacts and even numerous fragments of Great Path Divine Artifacts, no cave treasures were found in over ten days. What frustrated the Yellow Dragon even more was the absence of any fragments of the World Tree. Right now, what he needed most were fragments of the World Tree. Only by finding more of them and integrating them into the World Tree could he successfully break through after traversing nine eras, with the power of the World Tree to assist him. Although the World Tree had grown astonishingly after absorbing the third fragment, its power was still insufficient. Another ten days passed. “Hm?! Is this a cave treasure?!” One day, the Yellow Dragon suddenly noticed a brilliant glow tens of billions of li away and felt delighted. He immediately directed the Sacred Cauldron toward this cave treasure. After a month of searching across the Wasteland Continent, he finally found one! With a thought, the Yellow Dragon revealed the restrictions of the cave treasure before him. He effortlessly broke them one by one and led everyone forward. Before long, they entered the cave. Yet, the Yellow Dragon was greatly disappointed. At a glance, the cave seemed almost empty; only on a jade platform in the front-left corner sat a corpse in a meditative pose. The Yellow Dragon could tell that the person had been a Half-Saint in life. The bones of a Half-Saint were of little use to the Yellow Dragon at this point.

Inside the cave dwelling grew some spiritual herbs and strange trees. To others, these herbs and trees were treasures, but they couldn’t pass through the Yellow Dragon’s gaze.
“Master, there’s something wrong with this skeleton!” Just as the Yellow Dragon was greatly disappointed, the Voice of the Spirit King rang out.
“Oh?!” The Yellow Dragon was surprised.
At that moment, the Spirit King flew out from the Spirit-Communicating Jade and approached the half-sage’s skeleton. With a clap of his hands, he shattered the skeleton into pieces. Then, a nearly transparent ring fell out from it.
Seeing that ring, the Yellow Dragon was stunned.
A spatial artifact?!
He had just scanned the skeleton with his divine sense and found nothing inside. Who would have thought there was a spatial ring hidden there?
“This spatial ring is not ordinary—it managed to evade my divine sense detection?!” The Yellow Dragon reached out with both hands and seized the spatial ring.
When he opened the ring, he saw numerous spiritual veins and innate divine artifacts inside. To his surprise, there was also a medium-grade Great Path artifact sword.
At that time, the Green Cauldron he had obtained from the silver-haired old man had not yet been integrated into his body. So, along with this sword, he now had two medium-grade Great Path artifacts.
“Two isn’t enough!” the Yellow Dragon thought to himself. To cultivate the Supreme Transformation Art and raise his core to the peak of a medium-grade Great Path deity, two artifacts were far from sufficient.
“I’ll go to the headquarters of Tianyi Mansion later and do everything possible to acquire more medium-grade Great Path artifacts!” the Yellow Dragon resolved.
After taking everything from that spatial artifact into the Sacred Cauldron, the Yellow Dragon led everyone away from the cave dwelling to continue searching for treasures.
It was three years later before the Yellow Dragon left the Wasteland Continent and headed to the World of Chaotic Demons with his followers.
During those three years, in addition to the treasures in the cave dwelling and various precious resources, the Yellow Dragon also found quite a few fragments of the World Tree.
