Zuan thought about it and realized that he still needed to go to the Six Paths to find various tokens. He might not have time to come back here before he collected them all, so he agreed to the Mermaid Queen's request.
The three then returned to the Dragon Palace and discussed their upcoming journey with the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas.
"Fire Cloud Cave? I think I've heard of it." The Dragon King of the South Sea couldn't help but ask when he heard that they were going to Fire Cloud Cave.
Zu'an was overjoyed and hurriedly inquired about the details.
The Dragon King of the South Sea thought for a moment and said, "I've only heard some rumors. It's said that the Fire Cloud Cave is the abode of the Human Emperor Shennong. It's also said that Shennong was skilled in medicine and even tasted hundreds of herbs to test their medicinal properties. So if there really is someone in the world who can cure the plague of the Aurora Poison Dragon, it would probably be him. However..."
Zuan's heart stirred. He had heard the legend of Shennong when he was on Earth. He already knew that this world was inextricably linked to his previous life, so he was not surprised.
If Shennong truly existed, he could not only cure the poison afflicting the sea creatures, but he should also be able to eradicate Xiaoxi's unique poisonous constitution.
Seeing that the Dragon King of the South Sea had suddenly stopped, he hurriedly asked, "But what?"
"The legend of Shennong is quite ancient. Even if he really existed, he would probably be dead by now. Besides, it's hard to say whether he was the Human Emperor. I always feel that those humans are just trying to glorify themselves..." The Dragon King of the South Sea suddenly realized that the person opposite him was also a human, and he felt a little embarrassed.
"Why do you say that?" Zuan asked curiously.
The Dragon King of the South Sea had no choice but to explain: "Legend has it that Shennong had a bull's head and a human body, and he looked just like those witches from before. He didn't look like a human at all."
Zuan was taken aback. In his memory, Shennong was indeed depicted as having two horns on his head, and many records described him as having a bull's head and a human body. Thinking about it this way, he did not seem like a human.
"Of course, all of this is just legend, and no one has ever seen him," the Dragon King of the South Sea said in a deep voice. "Moreover, after countless years, it's not even certain whether the Fire Cloud Cave still exists."
“There must be a Fire Cloud Cave. I went there when I was a child,” Princess Peacock couldn’t help but correct.
"If that's the case, then it seems that Huoyun Cave still has successors." Clearly, the Dragon King of the South Sea did not believe that the legendary Shennong could still be alive today.
"Does the Dragon King know where the Fire Cloud Cave is?" Zu An asked hurriedly.
The Dragon King of the South Sea was taken aback and looked at Princess Peacock: "Didn't you go there when you were a child?"
Princess Peacock's eyes reddened: "I was young then, I forgot."
Zuan patted her shoulder to comfort her, knowing that she was thinking of her family.
He had previously suggested asking her elders directly, which would have revealed the location of the Fire Cloud Cave. She burst into tears at that moment, realizing that her elders had already died on the battlefield during the years of resisting the invasion of extraterrestrial demons.
In fact, it wasn't just the Peacock Clan; the clan leaders, elders, and other high-level combatants of all the demon clans had basically all died in battle.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be her turn to undertake such an important mission for the sea tribe.
In the great war against the extraterrestrial demons, the entire demon race has lost several generations, and now it is basically the younger generation that is taking over.
Thinking about all this, Zuan couldn't help but sigh at the brutality of the entire war.
The Dragon King of the South Sea then said, "The Fire Cloud Cave is just a legend. I don't know its exact location. By the way, I heard that the Fire Cloud Cave is right next to the Purple Ganoderma Cliff. I wonder if this will be of any help to you."
“Purple Ganoderma Cliff?” The Dragon King of the East Sea suddenly exclaimed. “There is indeed a Purple Ganoderma Cliff on the shore of the East Sea. It is shrouded in clouds and mist all year round. It is said that immortals appear there. I even sent people to investigate, but unfortunately we found nothing. I wonder if it has anything to do with the legendary Fire Cloud Cave.”
Zu An's heart stirred. The swirling clouds and mist were likely due to a profound array, so even if someone of average cultivation stood right in front of it, they wouldn't be able to see the true nature of what was hidden behind it: "Where is that Purple Ganoderma Cliff?"
The Dragon King of the East Sea waved his hand, and a map appeared in the sky. He searched it for a while, and finally his finger landed on a peninsula extending from the coastline: "It's probably around here."
The Mermaid Queen's eyes lit up: "I've been to that area before, I can show you the way."
Now it's even more legitimate for me to travel with him.
The Four Dragon Kings were eager for the Mermaid Queen to win over Zaun, so they naturally didn't stop her. On the contrary, they echoed her sentiments and provided various conveniences, even handing over the crystal boat that only the Dragon Kings were qualified to use.
While Zu'an thanked them, Princess Peacock took the opportunity to arrange for the Xuan Su Double Guards to return to the demon clan to report the latest developments.
The Xuan Su double guards were initially reluctant to leave her, but then they thought that with that person whose cultivation was unfathomable by her side, why would the princess need their protection?
Furthermore, since the situation with the sea tribes did indeed need to be reported to the royal court in a timely manner, they naturally dared not delay their important business.
As the two were leaving, Princess Peacock called them back and reminded them, "By the way, once we find the antidote in Fire Cloud Cave, I will take him back to the demon race. I can sense that he seems to be very curious about the Holy Maiden as well, and he is quite friendly to our demon race. Tell the Holy Maiden to be prepared. If we can get his help, our chances of fighting those demons will be much greater."
The Xuan Su Twin Guards had strange expressions and couldn't help but glance at Zu An in the distance.
Thinking to himself, this guy isn't satisfied with winning the princess's heart, he's even eyeing the saintess?
What did the princess mean by that? How should the saintess prepare?
Is it a honey trap?
The two dared not think too deeply about it. If someone had said that they wanted to marry both the Holy Maiden and the Princess at the same time, they would have thought it was a fantasy. But after witnessing Zu'an's abilities these days, they suddenly felt that it seemed quite reasonable.
