Chapter 847 The Three-legged Golden Toad

“Oh my god, my dear Chancellor, it’s great that you’ve defeated Rijkaard…”

“My lord, you are the glory of our Dark World…”

“My lord, you’re great. I adore you…”

All the dark creatures present were excited to hear that Sharapova had defeated Rijkaard.

They had been oppressed by the Divine Court for the past years and this was their first victory.

The Wolf King said excitedly, “Lord Chancellor, shall we go straight to the Holy City and wipe it out while the Divine King is injured?”

Khorkina shot him a glance. “You stupid guy. Have you forgotten about the Divine Healing of the Divine Court?

“The Divine King would soon recover from his injury if we didn’t kill him in one go. We would definitely be killed if we are at the Holy City right now.”

As the Dark Council President, Sharapova also got the point. She said to those around her, “What we have to do now is not to go to the Holy City, but to return to where we belong as soon as possible.

“We must get ready now. I believe that the Divine Court will get back at us soon.”

Then she left the Sun-never-set Empire with her followers and hurried back to their old haunt.

Qin Haodong and Lev came to Crow Canyon, hid their car in a secluded place, and then walked in.

They heard the sounds of cawing.

It was the crows’ cries. Countless crows flew over their heads like a mass of black clouds.

Following the map, they soon found themselves near the eastern side of the canyon.

Lev took a glance at the map, “Master, is there something wrong with it? There is nothing here.”

Qin Haodong was very excited. He could feel the distinct fluctuations of formation here. A hidden array had been set up in Crow’s Canyon, and the environment had totally changed.

He could feel that the formation, which had been in place for many years, was showing signs of weakening. This must be an ancient relic.

The formation here suggested that this was the ancient remains of eastern monks.

At the same time, he wondered why there were remnants of eastern monks. After all, this was the Western world.

No one could give him an answer and he could only go in and look for it himself.

Qin was not in a hurry to take action. He had entered countless ancient relics in the Cultivation World, many of which had hidden dangers. He believed it was no exception here, so his top priority was to improve his cultivation.

He left with Lev and then stayed in a dry and hidden cave in the nearby mountains to practice.

After several formations were set up, Qin Haodong sat cross-legged in the cave while Lev guarded the entrance for him.

Qin Haodong took out the Crown of God and held the top-level Spirit Stone in the palm of his hand.

No wonder it was the best stone. The Spiritual Qi it emitted was so rich that it made him feel very comfortable.

He closed his eyes and slowly ran the Green Wood Genuine Qi. The Spiritual Qi in the cave immediately rushed into his body.

The Spiritual Qi immediately turned into pure Genuine Vitality and was absorbed by his Nascent Soul, which grew slowly as time went by.

After a long time, Qin Haodong woke up from his meditation and found that the top-level Spirit Stone had turned into powder.

He hurriedly checked his sea of consciousness and found that the Nascent Soul, which was only about 20 centimeters long, had become extremely huge. It was about one meter long now, and its five senses were sharper and more agile than before.

He had reached the peak of the middle of the Nascent Soul and was only one step away from the final stage.

As long as the Nascent Soul was the same size as his body, he would be at the Peak of the Nascent Soul Realm.

“Master, you’re finally awake!”

Lev came over and exclaimed excitedly.

Qin Haodong nodded, “Let’s go over and have a look.”

They came to the ruins again. The hidden formation here was not a problem for Qin and he quickly broke the formation and a huge cave appeared.

“What… the techniques of the East are really amazing!” Lev’s mouth hung open in surprise.

“There was nothing here just now. How did such a big cave suddenly appear?” he wondered.

Qin stepped into the mouth of the cave. The cave was huge and was about 10 meters high and 5 meters wide.

The mouth of the cave was blocked by a huge rock, and there seemed to be some fluctuation of formations. If you could not find the way into the hole, even the top practitioners could not force their way in.

With countless experiences in entering ruins, Qin began to search around the cave.

Beside the hole was a hand-carved groove on which the Chinese character “Blood” was written in ancient characters.

“The Blood Slot!”

Qin Haodong immediately realized that blood was essential for opening the door here. But he didn’t know if his blood would work.

He cut his index finger with the Xuan Yuan Sword and put three drops of blood into the slot.

Then something strange happened. The slot was like a sponge, absorbing the blood instantly.

Then there was a wave of energy, and the rock slid open slowly on either side, revealing a gap for the two of them to enter.

“I made it!”

Qin Haodong was overjoyed. It seemed that his blood was effective and could successfully unlock the seal of the formation here.

“Master, the cave is open!”

Lev walked excitedly into the cave. But as soon as he arrived at the entrance, his body was thrown back, as if hit by an invisible force.

This force was so great that even someone as strong as the Wolf King could not resist it. Lev was thrown more than ten meters away.

The good news was that the tactics here were designed to keep the invaders out, not to kill them. Otherwise, Lev would have been seriously injured or even killed.

Lev got up and shouted, “Master, be careful. It’s too weird here.”

Qin Haodong ran his Genuine Qi and walked forward carefully, but nothing unusual happened.

“What’s going on?”

Lev followed Qin and tried to enter the cave. But the moment he set foot into the cave, once again, he was stopped by the invisible force.

“Master, this is so weird. Why can’t I get in?”

Qin Haodong thought for a moment and said, “It seems that this is a formation set up by my ancestors. Only Huaxia people are allowed in. You’re a western Werewolf, so you’re denied entry.”

“What…”

Lev looked depressed.

“You go back to the cave where we rested yesterday and wait for me. I’ll look for you when I’m done.”

Qin Haodong stepped into the cave. When he passed through the door, the rock slowly moved and the hole closed again.

The cave was not very dark because there were glowing stones embedded in the walls. He walked over and took a look. These stones were not luminous pearls, but ores of unknown origins.

He walked slowly down the cave and suddenly heard a strange cry after walking several meters.

“Goo… Goo…”

It sounded like a frog’s cry but was louder than an ox’s roar. The echoes were deafening in the cave.

At the same time, he felt uneasy and quickly stopped. Any treasure must be guarded by a spirit beast and this place was no exception.

Just as he looked around, something huge and black suddenly appeared.

It was the size of a small SUV and covered in numerous bumps. Its two huge front paws were placed in front of its body, and its eyes shone like headlights. Its mouth was open and its tongue which was several meters long, lolled out.

“Is this a toad?”

Qin Haodong was a little surprised. He had never seen such a huge toad even in the Cultivation World.

This was not an ordinary toad. It had two legs in front and only one leg behind it. It was actually a Three-legged Golden Toad.

A greedy look came into the toad’s eyes the moment it saw Qin Haodong as if it saw something delicious.

The toad croaked again.

With a muffled roar, the Three-legged Golden Toad pounced on Qin Haodong. It was as fast as the top saints.

Qin Haodong jumped aside to avoid its attack, but the toad was very agile. Although Qin managed to dodge to one side, the toad’s tongue which was several meters long, flew toward him.

D*mn it, the toad must have thought he was a fly!

Qin jumped to escape the tongue and then landed on the back of the toad. He then punched it hard in the back.

After entering the middle stage of the Nascent Soul Realm, his punch was enough to break mountains. The toad would be smashed into pieces even if it was an SUV.

However, such a powerful punch had no effect on the Three-legged Golden Toad. Its defense was even more astonishing than that of the Blood Race.

As if it knew that Qin Haodong was on its back, the toad leaped into the air and tried to hit the roof.

Qin Haodong quickly jumped from the back of the golden toad, but before he landed, its tongue, the size of the python, flew out at him again.

“D*mn it!”

Qin Haodong punched its tongue and retreated with the help of the recoil force.

At the middle stage of the Nascent Soul Realm, he wanted to test his strength by fighting against the golden toad, so he was not in a hurry to take out his Xuan Yuan Sword.

The fight lasted for half an hour, and he did not gain the upper hand.

Qin Haodong was practicing the Cultivation Method, so he would be invincible among his peers once he entered the middle stage of the Nascent Soul Realm. He didn’t expect that he could not defeat a Three-legged Golden Toad even with such high cultivation.

This toad was as powerful as the middle-stage Saints.

After a few more rounds of fighting, Qin Haodong gradually lost his patience. It seemed that he could not break the defense of the Three-legged Golden Toad without the Xuan Yuan Sword.

“Big guy, I don’t want to kill you, but I have to now.”

Qin Haodong knew very well that it would take thousands of years for a spirit beast to reach such a high stage. But this guy was the defender and he could not access the relics without killing it.

Then he stretched out his right hand, and the Xuan Yuan Sword appeared with a golden light.

The toad croaked again.

The toad was in high spirits and it was about to attack Qin Haodong again, but a trace of respect immediately flashed in its eyes the moment it saw the Xuan Yuan Sword.

Then it retracted its huge tongue and lay on the ground obediently.

Qin Haodong was quite surprised. Did this beast know how powerful the Xuan Yuan Sword was? Was it afraid of him?

Just when he was puzzling over this, a light flashed in front of him, and a blurry figure appeared in the cave. It was Emperor Xuan Yuan.

Chapter 848 The Spirit Beast Pouch

Qin Haodong had once seen the divine thoughts left by Emperor Xuan Yuan when he got the Xuan Yuan Sword, so the blurry figure was no stranger to him. But at the same time, he wondered if the ancient ruins were created by the Emperor.

He was the ancestor of Huaxia. Why did he set the ruins in the west?

The blurry figure floating in front of him was just a divine thought left by Emperor Xuan Yuan many years ago, so he did not know who the young man was.

“Young man, congratulations on subduing the Three-legged Golden Toad.”

This divine thought was much more solid than the one in the Xuan Yuan Sword. Qin Haodong asked, “Sir, is this golden toad yours?”

Emperor Xuan Yuan said, “Yes, I traveled around and found a Spirit Beast Pouch in a historical site. This Three-legged Golden Toad was hatched in the pouch and has been staying with me since then.”

“I created the ruins here. But it’s a disaster for the low-level entrants.”

“The Three-legged Golden Toad was an ancient spiritual beast and it is as powerful as an early-stage Saint. It is being used as a barrier here. The only way to move forward is to defeat the toad, otherwise, you have to leave.”

Qin Haodong sighed secretly. It seemed that Emperor Xuan Yuan did not anticipate that it would be 5,000 years before anyone could find it.

The Three-legged Golden Toad had already reached the peak of the middle stage of the Saint Realm. Ordinary people could not get in at all.

He asked again, “Sir, why did you leave your ruins here in the west?”

Emperor Xuan Yuan said, “Since you’ve conquered the Three-legged Golden Toad, you’d better move forward. You’ll know all the secrets when you get my treasures.”

Then his divine thoughts disappeared.

It seemed that this was not the final test. Qin Haodong walked on ahead.

After walking another 20 or 30 meters, he made a turn and found a stone house in front of him. But the door was closed.

He came to the door and found that there was an extremely strong restriction formation, which was much stronger than the one in the stone cave.

On the wall next to the stone house, there were a few simple ancient Chinese characters engraved on it. “Only members of the Xuanyuan Family can enter.”

Beneath the text was a palm print, which seemed to contain a psychic wave. This was also a test set for the newcomers.

Xuanyuan Family. It seemed that Emperor Xuan Yuan wanted to test his internal cultivation method.

Then Qin Haodong pressed the palm print and slowly ran the Xuan Yuan Formula to put his Genuine Qi in the print.

The stone gate made a cracking sound and with a flash, the door opened slowly.

Qin Haodong breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the Xuan Yuan Formula was really the key to gain access to this stone room.

Since he entered the cave, he had encountered four obstacles set by Emperor Xuan Yuan. Why was he so careful? What had been left here?

He stepped into the stone house and looked around. The room was about 20 square meters. There were no decorations here. It was very simple and looked like a temporary shelter.

There was a stone table in the middle of the house with a big and small wooden box on it. Qin Haodong wondered what was inside.

Qin Haodong was about to walk over when Emperor Xuan Yuan’s divine thoughts suddenly appeared again.

“Welcome to this place, my child.”

“Nice to meet you, Sir.”

Qin Haodong bowed to Emperor Xuan Yuan’s thoughts.

The emperor said, “Since you’ve passed all my tests, you’re indeed one of my descendants. You must do your duty to protect the Huaxia family and drive all the Alien Demons out of our space.”

Qin Haodong asked, “Sir, why did you set the cave here? Does it have something to do with the Alien Demons?”

“Yes. Sit down and I’ll tell you everything.”

Although it was just a blurry figure, Emperor Xuan Yuan still sat down cross-legged and said to Qin Haodong, “The Alien Demons invaded the earth and tried to wipe out all the human beings here. They killed our people and brought great misery to Huaxia.”

“All the Huaxia tribes worked together and finally eradicated the invaders.”

“But it wasn’t over. The demons kept coming back to Huaxia, so I went to the West to find their home, the hole in space where they could enter the earth.”

“Resistance was certainly not enough to wipe out this alien race. We still had to find a way to fix the space leak.”

“I came to the West and found that it was also invaded by the Alien Demons, and the situation was much more serious than that in Huaxia.”

“Moreover, most of the experts from the Alien Demons are here. So I thought the space leak might be in the west.”

“I came here on my sword and happened to see the battle between the experts from the Alien Demons and the Western Divine Court and the Dark World.”

“It was a fierce battle. The Divine King of the Divine Court, Cain, the leader of the Blood Race in the Dark World, and Bierhof, the leader of the Wolves, all died together with the masters of the Alien Demons.”

“We were from different places, but they were all humans. I immediately joined the battle and killed the last demon general and became the only survivor on the battlefield.”

“The Divine King gave me the Thorn Crown before he died. The Blood Emperor Cain and the Wolf Emperor, Bierhof, gave me a drop of their original blood, and begged me to bring it to their descendants.”

“I kept these items. But after learning how powerful the Alien Demons were, I realized that I might also be killed in such a fierce battle.”

“So I made a divination for myself, and it showed that I would encounter a bloody disaster and would lose my life.”

“I didn’t care about life or death, but there were some things that had not been settled. I had to leave something to my descendants. So I set up a cave here, hoping that one day the descendants of the Xuan Yuan Family would come here.”

“The Alien Demons are everywhere. I’m afraid these items will be taken away by them, so I set several tests. Only the descendants of the Xuan Yuan Family can get my last words.”

Only then did Qin Haodong understand why the cave tested both his blood and his Xuan Yuan Formula. It turned out that the Emperor had done everything he could to safeguard the place against the Alien Demons.

Emperor Xuan Yuan added, “The Alien Demon is a kind of alien space creature. They are cruel and strong. The most important thing is that they are good at changing their appearances. The advanced alien demons can take on the appearance of our human race at will so that we can’t discover their identities.

“To help the future generations recognize the Alien Demons, I kept their general’s finger. No matter how they change, their aura will be the same.

“With this finger, you can identify any Alien Demons hidden within the human race.”

Speaking of this, he pointed to the small wooden box on the stone table and said to Qin Haodong, “Open it, the finger is inside.”

Qin Haodong walked over and lifted the lid. There was a finger inside, which was furry and much thicker than any human finger.

What struck him was that the scent of the finger was very familiar to him. Why was that? Had he ever been in contact with any Alien Demons?

Emperor Xuan Yuan said, “The war between human beings and the Alien Demons will break out soon. I think maybe we can wipe out their main force, but some of them might slip through the net.”

“Keep this finger and follow the aura to look for the survivors. We must kill all of them.”

Qin Haodong asked, “Sir, will there be any mistakes in finding the alien demons with the aura of this finger?”

Emperor Xuan Yuan shook his head. “So far, I have seen tens of thousands of Alien Demons, and their auras are the same.”

” It’s just like fish. All kinds of fish, big or small, have a fishy smell.”

“It’s the same with the Alien Demons. Regardless of their levels, all alien demons have this smell. But the difference is that the higher-level demons are good at changing their appearances and can sneak into the human society.”

When he heard these, Qin Haodong frowned. There must be some Alien Demons among human beings and he must have met them. But he didn’t know who he/she was for the time being.

Emperor Xuan Yuan continued, “Since you’re here, I must have died in the fight against the Alien Demons. You have to finish what I could not accomplish.

“I promised the Divine King, the ancestor of the Blood Race, and the King of Wolves that I would return their relics to their clansmen, but I was killed before I could fulfill my promise. All these things are in the wooden box. Please give these items to the three races.”

“OK. I’ll do it for you.”

Qin Haodong gave up thinking about who the Alien Demons were. He put the finger into the Storage Ring and opened the larger wooden box.

When he lifted the lid, he was stunned. There were three shiny top-level Spirit Stones inside.

He had reached the middle stage of the Nascent Soul Realm with one of them, so he was sure that he could make it to the late stage with the three top-level Spirit Stones.

He held them in his palm and was overjoyed.

Emperor Xuan Yuan explained, “I got these three gems and the Spirit Beast Pouch in the ancient ruins, but I haven’t figured out what they are used for. Just take them if you like.”

“Thank you, Sir!”

Qin Haodong then checked the other items in the wooden box. There was a palm-sized bag next to the Spirit Stones, which emitted a strong fluctuation of Spiritual Qi. This must be an artifact.

He was not sure what the pouch was made of. There was a monster with its mouth wide open on one side and the name ‘Spirit Beast Pouch’ was printed on the other side.

Emperor Xuan Yuan explained, “I got this thing in the relics. It’s a rare treasure. Just put a drop of blood into the monster’s mouth, and you’ll be its master.”

Qin Haodong cut his index finger and put a drop of blood into the monster’s mouth.

The blood seeped away instantly. Then, with a flash of light, the Spirit Beast Pouch also disappeared and a beast tattoo appeared on his chest.

After becoming the master of the pouch, Qin Haodong established contact with it. At the same time, the magic of controlling the Spirit Beast Pouch suddenly came to his mind.

He then checked the pouch with his Spirit and found that it was an independent space. It was almost the same as the Storage Ring. They were keys to another space.

But the difference was that the Storage Ring could not store living things while animals could live well in the space provided by the Spirit Beast Pouch.

After learning how to use it, Qin Haodong turned around and used the incantation on the Three-legged Golden Toad, who had been lying at the door.

Under his control, the toad became the size of an egg. It jumped onto his palm, and then entered the Spirit Beast Pouch.

This was definitely a rare treasure!

Qin Haodong was overjoyed. He got three top-level Spirit Stones and a Spirit Beast Pouch. This trip was definitely worth it.

After putting away all the treasures, he looked at the wooden box again.
