Chapter 1796: Second Divine Treasure Profound Jade Pearl

Wang Changsheng struck the drumhead of the Nine Flood Dragon Drum with his fist. An earth-shattering dragon roar echoed, and a misty blue sound wave swept forth. Wang Ruyan's face flushed crimson, and her chest heaved.

The blue sound wave struck the Flood Dragon Alligator. The creature let out an ear-splitting shriek, and a large number of white scales fell from its body, leaving it covered in blood. Its massive body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily to the ground.

Dazzling blue light erupted from the bodies of Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan. Wang Changsheng's aura surged, quickly rising to the level of a mid-stage Soul Transformation cultivator.

His veins bulged, and the blood vessels under his skin were clearly visible.

No wonder the Immortal Suppressing Pagoda's spirit had said only body cultivators could wield the Nine Flood Dragon Drum. This treasure was indeed formidable, but it also consumed a significant amount of spiritual power.

Wang Changsheng's right fist burst with dazzling blue light, striking the Nine Flood Dragon Drum again.

An earth-shattering dragon roar echoed. The void rippled, intensely twisting and deforming, and a hazy blue sound wave materialized, sweeping in all directions.

With a whoosh, Wang Ruyan spat out a large mouthful of blood, her face turning pale. Despite numerous protective measures, the eighth sound wave from the Nine Flood Dragon Drum still injured her, demonstrating its immense power.

Wherever the eighth blue sound wave passed, the void twisted violently, and the ground tore open, revealing thick, long cracks.

The Flood Dragon Alligator was greatly startled. The Dark Jade Pearl transformed into a white light and flew towards it.

The Dark Jade Pearl spun rapidly, unleashing waves of intense cold air. Winds whipped up, and a white tornado, over a thousand zhang tall and a hundred zhang in diameter, materialized to meet the blue sound wave.

Boom!

The white tornado shattered like paper, and the Dark Jade Pearl flew backward. Without mastering the 'Treasure Comprehension Art,' the Flood Dragon Alligator couldn't unleash the full power of the Dark Jade Pearl.

The Flood Dragon Alligator tried to use an ice evasion technique to escape. However, an unbearable sharp pain surged through its sea of consciousness again. By the time it reacted, the blue sound wave was already upon it, swiftly sweeping over its body.

The Flood Dragon Alligator's massive body suddenly collapsed to the ground, motionless. Its internal organs were completely shattered.

A flash of white light, and a miniature Flood Dragon Alligator flew out from the corpse. A giant, red-glowing pagoda descended from the sky, enveloped the miniature Flood Dragon Alligator, and drew it into the red pagoda.

Wang Changsheng exhaled a long breath, his eyes filled with joy.

"No wonder the Immortal Suppressing Pagoda's spirit said the Nine Flood Dragon Drum was the most powerful among the many spiritual treasures she refined. Eight strikes killed a fifth-tier demonic beast; wouldn't nine strikes be even more formidable?" Wang Ruyan said with a smile. In the eyes of the Immortal Suppressing Pagoda's spirit, the Nine Flood Dragon Drum was merely a spiritual treasure. Perhaps the spirit's standards were too high, or maybe there was a classification system for heavenly spiritual treasures in the Spirit Realm.

"If I hadn't consumed a fifth-tier dragon core and a bottle of Gold Marrow Bone Forging Pills, I truly wouldn't have been able to wield this treasure," Wang Changsheng lamented. "Without them, I couldn't even have managed the eighth strike." Wielding the Nine Flood Dragon Drum required not only spiritual power but also immense physical strength. A body cultivator below the Soul Transformation stage couldn't even make it resonate. Even if Wang Ruyan tried for a year, she wouldn't be able to strike it.

With a single hand gesture, the Dark Jade Pearl flew towards him, landing in his hand, feeling incredibly cold to the touch.

"It should be refined from ten-thousand-year-old dark jade, and quite a lot of it," Wang Changsheng said. "Wife, you don't have a heavenly spiritual treasure yet. This item should be yours!"

Wang Changsheng handed the Dark Jade Pearl to Wang Ruyan. This way, they would each possess a heavenly spiritual treasure, making them even more powerful. With Wang Changsheng's current spiritual power, he couldn't wield two heavenly spiritual treasures simultaneously, mainly because the Nine Flood Dragon Drum consumed an enormous amount of power.

Wang Ruyan accepted the Dark Jade Pearl without ceremony.

Wang Changsheng put away the Sea Calming Pearl and the Flood Dragon Alligator's corpse. With the body of a fifth-tier demonic beast, he could refine several more spiritual treasures, further strengthening their family's foundation.

"Let's go! We'll bring the Seven Star Ice Marrow Fruit Tree back with us."

Wang Changsheng strode forward, and Wang Ruyan quickly followed.

Soon after, they arrived at the foot of a towering ice mountain, with a hundred-mu ice lake to their left. Halfway up the ice mountain was a completely white fruit tree, bearing five snow-white fruits. Each fruit had seven silver light spots on its surface, arranged like the Big Dipper constellation.

He released the Wood Demon, instructing it to transplant the Seven Star Ice Marrow Fruit Tree. The Wood Demon struggled for a while but returned unsuccessful. The ice mountain had existed for an unknown duration, was resistant to spiritual treasures, and the Wood Demon couldn't take root.

"According to Huangfu Xiong's account, this ice mountain must be at least ten thousand years old!" Wang Ruyan frowned. "A ten-thousand-year-old ice mountain is indeed difficult to handle. If we forcefully transplant it, there's a high risk the Seven Star Ice Marrow Fruit Tree will wither and die. In that case, we'd need thousands of years to cultivate another one."

"In that case," Wang Changsheng chuckled confidently, "we'll move the entire ice mountain back to Green Lotus Island. It'll be a perfect nest for the Snow Ape."

"Move the entire ice mountain back to Green Lotus Island?!" Wang Ruyan was stunned, her face filled with shock.

Wang Changsheng strode to the foot of the mountain, took out his Seven Star Demon Slaying Saber, and slashed at the ice mountain. With a dull clang, a faint chop mark appeared on the ice mountain's surface. Wang Changsheng put away the Seven Star Demon Slaying Saber, put on his Sea-Splitting Gauntlets, and punched the ice mountain.

A thunderous roar erupted, and a long crack appeared on the ice mountain's surface. One punch, two punches, three punches... The booming continued, and the cracks in the ice mountain grew larger and larger.

A low dirt mound a hundred miles away, Wang Qingling's brows were tightly furrowed, her eyes filled with worry. Huang Fugui and Huangfu Rui were meditating nearby, waiting quietly.

"Fairy Wang, don't worry! Senior Wang and Senior Wang are profoundly skilled in cultivation; they'll be fine," Huang Fugui comforted her. Wang Changsheng had saved his life this time, and this debt of gratitude was immense.

"I'm not worried about Uncle Nine and Aunt Nine's safety. It's been so long, why haven't they finished their fight yet? They still need Little White's help to retrieve the treasure!" Wang Qingling said with a frown.

"They're coming! They must have dealt with that fifth-tier demonic beast," Huang Fugui exclaimed, overjoyed, looking into the distance.

Wang Qingling looked towards the distant sky and saw two streaks of escape light flying towards them. Soon after, the two streaks of light landed in front of them; it was Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan.

"Uncle Nine, Aunt Nine, are you alright?" Wang Qingling asked with concern.

"Seniors, have you dealt with that demonic beast?" Huangfu Rui asked, somewhat disbelievingly. "Are the Green Lotus Immortal Couple really that powerful? To be able to kill a fifth-tier demonic beast so quickly? Though, it's understandable, given that the Green Lotus Immortal Couple possess heavenly spiritual treasures and are proficient in combined attack techniques."

"We're fine. We've dealt with the demonic beast and acquired the item. Let's go! This place isn't suitable for long stays." Wang Changsheng didn't plan to linger. They only possessed two-fifths of the Fallen Immortal Ice Plain map, and while unknown areas might hold surprises, the risks would undoubtedly be high. Having obtained a heavenly spiritual treasure, a Seven Star Ice Marrow Fruit Tree, and the corpse of a fifth-tier demonic beast, he was already content.

"See! I told you! Senior Wang and Senior Wang are profoundly skilled cultivators. I truly admire them. This time, it was all thanks to Senior Wang; otherwise, I would have been in grave danger," Huang Fugui said gratefully, his face alight with fawning admiration.

"We're acquaintances; it was merely a small favor," Wang Changsheng smiled faintly, conjured the Flying Dragon in the Sky Map, and jumped onto it. The others quickly followed.

After a deafening dragon roar, the Flying Dragon in the Sky Map transformed into a streak of green light, piercing through the air and vanishing into the horizon.
