Lu Yuan stood proudly in the air, looking down from above.

His aura was overwhelming.

Zhou Yunqiong had already been injured in the previous battle.

Facing such a formidable presence, her face turned even paler.

At this moment, she confirmed.

The opponent was not joking, but had murderous intent.

"If you kill me, you will definitely regret it. Standing behind me is the Ji Clan, ranked in the top ten across the entire Star Realm."

Zhou Yunqiong spoke up, genuinely frightened, so she directly brought out the forces behind her.

Hoping to make Lu Yuan hesitate, thus perhaps there would be a chance for survival.

Even if it was just a little.

But in the end.

She miscalculated.

Lu Yuan seemed as if he hadn't heard a word.

Releasing the energy from his body, he then struck down with a decisive punch.

Golden qi and blood permeated the air, causing the ground below to tremble slightly.

Pffft~

It was over in an instant.

Zhou Yunqiong's body cracked open.

Unable to withstand even a moment, she shattered completely.

Her blood spilled directly onto the ground, and her life force faded away.

And after doing all this, Lu Yuan's emotions didn't change in the slightest,

as if it was just a trivial matter to him.

"Something's wrong."

But it was at this moment.

Jiang Ningxian looked at the bloodstain, her eyes trembled: "This... is not possible, right?"

Hearing this, Lu Yuan frowned and turned his head.

Buzzz~

Only to see at the place where Zhou Yunqiong died.

A mysterious power surged up, then converged, it was a Bronze Ancient Talisman.

After the appearance of the ancient talisman, all the dissipated life force of Zhou Yunqiong was gathered together, forming a shadow.

Then in an instant, the shadow, accompanied by the ancient talisman, transformed into a stream of light and disappeared from the spot.

"What's this?"

Seeing this, Lu Yuan's expression changed.

He was somewhat unclear about what that thing represented.

"It's a life-saving method, a Forbidden Skill mastered only by the top ten great clans of the Star Realm, allowing someone to escape death once, and this method is also known as the Life-Saving Talisman; it can only be used once in a lifetime."

Jiang Ningxian stepped forward, her expression solemn: "To refine a Life-Saving Talisman, at least requires the sacrifice of a Deity to be effective."

"Even if all the top ten great clans of the Star Realm combined, they wouldn't have more than three of these, they are extremely precious."

She was indeed very shocked because she herself possessed a Life-Saving Talisman.

That was something her father had implored the ancestors for a long time to obtain.

But Zhou Yunqiong unexpectedly had one as well.

As for where this thing came from, there was almost no need to think; it must have been from the Ji Clan.

But what Jiang Ningxian didn't expect was that the other party was so highly regarded.

If discussed.

At least it should be treatment reserved for a Divine Son or Holy Daughter, right?

Beside her, Lu Yuan, upon hearing the explanation, began to understand.

Simply put, the Ji Clan gave Zhou Yunqiong a kind of forbidden life-saving method.

Although she now seemed dead, with the Life-Saving Talisman, she could be resurrected in the future.

This made him involuntarily astonished.

Astonishing was that.

The idea that even a dead person could be revived through some means was extraordinary.

However, Lu Yuan also understood, seeing Jiang Ningxian's expression, that this item was too rare, extremely scarce in number.

Because, to make it work, it requires the sacrifice of a Deity.

And the other party also said.

Even among the top ten great clans, there wouldn't be more than three.

On further thought, it's quite reasonable; if the quantity was too high, that would be truly terrifying.

Having thought this through, Lu Yuan lightly chuckled, then said, "What good is escaping death once? At that time, I'll just kill her again."

The Life-Saving Talisman saving Zhou Yunqiong's life did indeed surprise him, but it didn't have much impact, because he knew that eventually, the two would meet again, and by then, no matter what means the opponent had, they would be of no use.

And now, he was also considering another point, that the matter of destroying the Zhou Family needed to be prioritized.

The situation between both parties was already one of irreconcilable conflict, leaving no need for future trouble.

"But at that time, you might have to face the Ji Clan."

"Aren't you afraid of the descendants of Emperor Xuan Yuan's bloodline?"

Jiang Ningxian calmed down, then laughed as she spoke.

Though Emperor Xuan Yuan is Xuan Yuan, and the Ji Clan is the Ji Clan.

The two cannot be completely mixed together.

But the Ji Clan is really strong, recognized across the entire Star Realm, with an extremely profound heritage.

Plus, their ancestor was a renowned figure, anyone facing them would feel apprehensive.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan chuckled softly, "Haven't I already faced them?"

The Celestial Race, Zhou Family, and Ji Clan are all interconnected.

Under such circumstances.

No matter what happens in the future, conflict between the two sides is inevitable.

And Lu Yuan feared nothing in this regard.

"Indeed."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ningxian smiled, and said nothing more.

On the other side, the Four Great Beast Kings also came over; everything that had just happened allowed them to roughly understand the relationship between Lu Yuan and Zhou Yunqiong, as there was already enmity between them.

However, everything had ended.

Now.

Lu Yuan looked into the distance.

He discovered that at this moment, the inversion of yin and yang had been completed.

They were now within half of Netherworld City.

"Let's first take a look at that map of the Nine Provinces."

Without saying much, Lu Yuan took out the map he had seized earlier.

Half of the Celestial Palace, which he and Jiang Ningxian had already explored before.

Now only the remaining half of the area was left.

At this time.

Jiang Ningxian and the Four Great Beast Kings also gathered around.

The Map of the Nine Provinces was spread out, depicting the nine provinces divided by Da Yu in ancient times.

In each area of the nine provinces, there was a small red dot, the dot was not round.

Rather, it appeared in the shape of a cauldron, each one identical in design.

What was astonishing was that one small cauldron.

Periodically emitted a faint glow.

"The marked location appears to be in Kunlun Mountain,"

The Spiritual Monkey came over and couldn't help but say, with a trace of doubt in its words.

"Cauldrons, nine provinces—could this be the location of the Nine Cauldrons?" the Nine-tailed Fox King also spoke, extremely astonished.

Previously, upon seeing the Map of the Nine Provinces, they felt this item was extraordinary and believed it definitely had a significant purpose.

Now, after careful observation, this belief was strengthened.

Because the depiction was so clear.

Cauldrons.

And the nine provinces, anyone would think of this.

And the Nine Cauldrons are legendary National Treasures.

Da Yu, though not counted among the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, holds an irreplaceable position in China's history.

He founded China's first dynasty in history, and co-existed in the same era as one of the Five Emperors, Shun.

The Nine Cauldrons he forged also hold an extraordinary status.

So.

It's not only the Beast Kings.

Even Lu Yuan, upon seeing this Map of the Nine Provinces, was extremely surprised.

Especially from the annotations, one of the cauldrons was located within Kunlun.

Exactly as he understood it to be.

Could it be.

By relying on this map.

Is it possible to collect all the Nine Cauldrons?

Thinking this, Lu Yuan couldn't help but show a glimmer of joy.

He didn't know the specific function of the Nine Cauldrons, but as legendary Sacerine Artifacts, what kind of great fortune would it be if he could obtain them?

"Since there's a cauldron in Kunlun Mountain, let's go take a look," Lu Yuan said, following the instructions on the Map of the Nine Provinces, he immediately determined a direction!
