After Xu Xiwang finished speaking, he stared directly at the barbarian leader, as if trying to discern something from his face.
The barbarian chieftain nodded slightly, praising, "Good eye! Indeed, that's exactly what I was thinking. To be honest, our Southern Ridge tribe is facing a disaster and needs the help of experts like yourself."
Upon hearing this, Xu Xiwang and the others exchanged glances.
It seems their guess was correct.
The Nanling tribe is in danger.
"I wonder what kind of disaster it is."
"Our Nanling tribe has an ancestral homeland, which was once a desolate wasteland."
"Thirty thousand years ago, a powerful priest in our tribe perished, his blood transforming into a lake. Anyone who bathes in it can improve their cultivation—a truly dual benefit!"
"It's just a pity..."
The barbarian chieftain hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.
"Unfortunately, what?"
Xu Xiwang couldn't help but ask.
"Unfortunately, that lake has undergone a strange change, preventing our Nanling tribe from regaining its former glory."
The barbarian chieftain sighed.
Upon hearing this, Xu Xiwang frowned slightly.
"Don't worry, we will definitely not let you work for nothing!"
Seeing Xu Xiwang deep in thought and silent, the barbarian leader added again.
"I know you want to know the whereabouts of the ancient imperial clan. If you can help us solve this problem, we will tell you the whereabouts of the ancient imperial clan."
Barbarian sacrificial path.
Xu Xiwang nodded slightly and said calmly, "Continue."
Seeing this, the barbarian chieftain breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said, "We have already witnessed your strength. If you are willing to lend a hand, you can certainly help us overcome this difficulty!"
"Therefore, I would like to borrow your help..."
The barbarian chieftain looked at Xu Xiwang with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
Furthermore, Xu hoped to know the name of Di Tian, a powerful figure from the ancient imperial clan!
Being able to associate with such important figures and having such power, it shouldn't be difficult for them to help us through this difficult time!
Xu hoped to remain silent.
"Please wait a moment, everyone."
The old priest stood up and walked towards the back hall.
A short while later, he came out carrying a jade box.
"This item is one of the most treasured artifacts of my Nanling tribe, a legacy from our ancestors. I am giving it to you."
He pushed the jade box in front of Xu Xiwang.
Xu Xiwang did not accept it, but stared intently at the jade box. He could feel a faint pressure emanating from the jade box, which was definitely not simple.
"It's getting late today, let's lead the way tomorrow."
Xu Xiwang accepted the jade box and said calmly.
Late at night, Xu Xiwang sat cross-legged on the mountaintop, opened the jade box, and saw a crystal-clear bead lying inside, like a dazzling star.
Xu Xiwang examined it carefully and discovered that the bead contained a vast and mysterious energy.
He enveloped it with the power of chaos and explored it.
Suddenly, Xu Xiwang's eyes narrowed.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing Xu Xiwang's strange expression, Xu Xingchen couldn't help but ask.
"This bead seems to be a treasure commonly used in ancient times to rapidly enhance cultivation. It was created by powerful individuals who, before their death, imbued it with their own cultivation, allowing later generations to gain cultivation through its power. However, the method for crafting this item disappeared tens of thousands of years ago."
Xu Xingchen said calmly.
"Oh? It's that amazing?"
Xu Xiwang's eyes lit up.
"While this substance has remarkable effects, it also has strong side effects."
Xu Xingchen paused, then continued, "Some people who consumed it not only failed to increase their power, but also suffered a backlash, ultimately exploding and dying."
"Some say that taking it will weaken the body and drastically shorten lifespan."
"Dying from a body explosion? Sharply reduced lifespan?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Xiwang shook his head and smiled wryly, "This does seem a bit like taking poison."
Xu Xingchen shook his head: "No, that's not the case. It's because this thing itself possesses a terrifying devouring power. Once consumed, if you can withstand it, your cultivation will greatly increase! But if you can't withstand it, you will definitely explode and die! Moreover, even if you successfully consume it and your cultivation skyrockets, you will find it difficult to make any progress in the future, since power obtained through external objects is ultimately limited."
Give me this.
Su Yueyao stood behind Xu Xiwang and said coldly.
"Yueyao..."
"I'll take this."
"Yueyao, this thing is too dangerous. What if it hurts you?"
Xu Xiwang frowned.
"I've already reached the Saint Realm, as you know. My cultivation wasn't achieved through my own hard work, but rather through Aunt Liu's various methods that pushed my potential to its limit! If it weren't for her, I'd still be just an ordinary girl!"
"My talent is too ordinary, and I know my current cultivation level is too weak. I want to help you..."
"But I can't give this to you. I can't let you risk your life!"
Xu Xiwang interrupted her, speaking firmly.
He was unwilling to let Xu Yueyao suffer any more grievances or setbacks!
Upon hearing this, Xu Xingchen remained silent.
Su Yueyao bit her lip and stubbornly shook her head. "It's settled then!"
Seeing her resolute attitude, Xu Xiwang couldn't help but feel a little helpless.
This little girl...
Just as Xu Xiwang was about to say something, the bead was taken away by Moonshadow Cat.
"Moonshadow Cat, what are you doing!?"
Xu Xiwang frowned and scolded.
Moonshadow Cat looked up at Xu Xiwang with a resolute gaze.
Meow!
The Moonshadow Cat meowed, as if telling Xu Xiwang that it would definitely protect Su Yueyao!
"Moon Shadow, give me the bead."
