In response to this, Wang Junze also did not refuse. After a brief moment of contemplation, he easily found the location of the Dragon Palace Treasure Vault from the information left by the Dragon Monarch.

A moment later, under Wang Junze's guidance, the group arrived at the entrance of the treasure vault.

The gate of the vault was extremely heavy, and it contained a formidable restriction, making it nearly impossible to open by brute force.

No, these were not difficulties for Wang Junze at all.

With a slight turn of thought, Wang Junze quickly found a way to open the vault. With a slight raise of his hand, a strand of Sword Qi flew out. In an instant, a golden sigil appeared on the vault door, and the next moment, the door slowly opened.

Without even needing to step inside, a radiant treasure light caught their eyes.

It was as if countless rare treasures appeared before the group.

Pei Haoran's eyes gleamed with gold, and with a howl, he rushed into the vault.

However, the excitement did not last long as they discovered that most of the treasures in the vault had decayed!

Many beautiful weapons and armor shattered at a mere touch of a finger!

And these pieces were once coveted by countless cultivators!

In addition, Luminous Pearls, various jewels, and even large amounts of Elixirs shattered upon touch.

Only a few truly powerful treasures managed to barely survive.

Thousands of years were truly enough to destroy too many things!

Realizing this was truly a sobering moment for the group.

The vast Dragon Palace Treasure Vault, the actual treasures that could be preserved, were indeed few and uninspiring.

Of course, even if the treasures were scarce, it was still a massive fortune, though not as overwhelming as imagined.

"I knew that beast's words were worthless." Yang Hong sneered disdainfully as he spoke.

"It's not much of a surprise, if there was truly a vault full of treasures, the Nether Sea would be in chaos, and we might not be able to guard it." Wang Junze shook his head calmly and turned to Pei Haoran to instruct, "Brother Pei, you handle all these items... Afterwards, distribute the Spirit Stones to us."

"No problem!"

Pei Haoran nodded decisively and replied, "Though most have decayed, the remaining items are truly powerful treasures, conservatively estimated, they can sell for at least over ten million Spirit Stones!"

"That's enough!"

Yang Hong nodded slightly and replied indifferently.

Spirit Stones are important for ordinary cultivators, but for Wang Junze and Yang Hong, they are merely a number, sufficient to cover their daily expenses.

Once distributed, they hardly need to worry about Spirit Stones anymore.

"Can you control this Dragon Palace? Can it be used as a cultivation site?"

After some thought, the Maiden of the Sea asked.

The Innate Spirit Water was almost consumed when he and Wang Junze broke through earlier, but the diluted Innate Spirit Water in the Dragon Palace was still plentiful, so the Spiritual Qi inside was far denser than outside, making it a good choice for cultivation.

"It's possible, but... the Dragon Turtle is not dead, and it's uncertain if he will return. He knows this place too well, and no restriction can stop him!"

Wang Junze explained.

"We must find an opportunity to kill him, or he will surely retaliate once he restores his Saint Realm cultivation."

Mentioning this, the group couldn't help but feel a bit troubled.

It was the best opportunity just now, but unfortunately, the combined strength of the three was still a bit weaker, and even with the advantage, they couldn't kill the Dragon Turtle.

"His injuries are too severe, and recovery won't be easy, so there's no need to worry for now." Wang Junze replied softly.

A Saint Realm Powerhouse, once fallen, means the Great Path's source is damaged, and under normal circumstances, it can't be restored in a short time, as evidenced by Zhou Dongfei.

Even with the Dragon Turtle's many tricks, it may take years to recover.

By then, Wang Junze may have already left the Nether Sea.

About half an hour later, once Pei Haoran had taken all usable items from the Dragon Palace Treasure Vault, the group left the Dragon Palace directly.

Boom!

Emerging from the water and landing on the sea surface, the sunlight on their bodies brought a sense of comfort, lightening their expressions.

"Everyone, I plan to return to Netherworld City, would you like to come along?"

He slightly cupped his fists and asked again.

"No need!"

Yang Hong shook his head, being the first to refuse, "I need to find a place to refine the Ten Thousand Spirits Banner. It's not just the Main Soul, but many spirits are lacking. Otherwise, the Dragon Turtle wouldn't have escaped this time."

This statement was made with a murderous tone, clearly indicating that refining the Ten Thousand Spirits Banner involves slaughter, as it is a Demon Divine Weapon and not something that can be refined with common resources.

It was at this moment that Wang Junze remembered Yang Hong's identity as a Demon Cultivator.

Only in a special place like the Nether Sea could Wang Junze befriend him; elsewhere, Yang Hong's brutal killings to refine Demon Soldiers would compel Wang Junze to intervene.

"I prefer to stay in the Nether Sea!"

The Maiden of the Sea also declined.

"No worries, I have a Token here, everyone take one. Once I finish handling these treasures, I will send the Spirit Stones over." Pei Haoran replied with a cheeky smile, "If anything comes up, we can also use the Token to communicate."

This time, the group did not refuse.

Being straightforward by nature, they didn't exchange farewell words, boarded the Netherworld Flying Ship, and soon disappeared into the sea.

Wang Junze did not leave with Pei Haoran but flew towards Mirage Island.

On the night of three days later, Wang Junze's Netherworld Flying Ship silently landed on Mirage Island.

"Hmm?"

Almost as soon as Wang Junze set foot on the island, the Mirage Dragon sensed him and flew out from the Mirage Forest.

"Did you break through? Wait, why does your body carry a strand of Dragon Race aura?"

Flying around Wang Junze, the Mirage Dragon's eyes were full of suspicion.

The Mirage Dragon knew Wang Junze's strength, even with the Other Shore Flower, he was still far from a breakthrough. How could he break through in just a few days?

Moreover, for unknown reasons, the Mirage Dragon felt an extremely dangerous aura from Wang Junze.

If previously, Wang Junze could suppress him, he retained some dissatisfaction. Now, he had a feeling that if pitted against Wang Junze again, he might not even withstand a single sword strike.

"Luckily found an Ancient Ruins!"

Wang Junze did not conceal this either, straightaway explaining, "By the way, a Saint Realm Demon King escaped from the ruins. Although gravely injured, falling from the Saint Realm, his strength is still terrifying. You should be extra careful in the Nether Sea."

Considering this, Wang Junze still chose to remind the Mirage Dragon.

It can be imagined that the Dragon Turtle will not remain idle in the Nether Sea, possibly relying on devouring other demon races to regain power. If encountered, the Mirage Dragon might find it hard to escape.

"???"

Saint Realm Demon King?!

Hearing Wang Junze's words, the Mirage Dragon was momentarily stunned!

An Ancient Ruins is one thing, but a Saint Realm Demon King as well! How did you escape from the ruins?
