Chapter 1106 1129: Searching for the Immortal Emperor's Treasure
Upon hearing Chu Linfeng mention the Immortal Emperor's treasure, Nangong Ming's face flickered with a hint of surprise. After glancing at the three of them, he said, "Are you really deciding to take a look?"
"That's right. Judging by my elder brother's facial expression, it seems a bit troublesome. If it's inconvenient, forget it. I was merely mentioning it casually, don't take it to heart." Chu Linfeng said.
"Hahaha! Why wouldn't I be willing? I'm more than happy, I've been waiting for this day for a long time, and I've always wanted to explore it with you. I didn't expect you to actually come; do you think I'd refuse?" Nangong Ming said.
"In that case, when does my elder brother plan to set off? What needs to be prepared? Who should we bring along? But I think the fewer the better; just bringing Flame will suffice. You can arrange the others yourself." Chu Linfeng said.
"We'll set off tomorrow, and tonight we'll rejuvenate ourselves. I've long wanted to take a look at this Immortal Emperor's treasure, but it's certainly not easy to obtain. A powerful expert needs to accompany me inside, and now that you're here, it's perfect." Nangong Ming said.
After three rounds of drinking, Chu Linfeng and the three were arranged in different rooms. This was mainly Chu Linfeng's intention, as the three of them had not formally married yet, and he was afraid he wouldn't be able to control himself if they stayed together.
After returning to his room, Chu Linfeng continued to absorb the Immortal Spirit Qi from the Immortal Crystals. Now, the Chaotic Immortal Power was 80% restored. He needed to completely restore it, in case special situations arose, in order to have enough strength to protect those he wanted to protect.
No words were spoken through the night, and Chu Linfeng stopped absorbing when dawn broke. The consumption of Immortal Crystals was quite large now, with less than twenty pieces left in the storage ring; he had to use them sparingly.
After leaving the room, Xuanyuan Yueyan and the two women had already come out. Upon seeing Chu Linfeng, they smiled and said, "Last night you fully restored the Chaotic Immortal Power, didn't you? This time the Immortal Emperor's treasure will surely bring surprises to everyone. After all, it's an Ancient Times Immortal Emperor; whether it's the martial skills or magical treasures left behind, they're all very formidable." Xuanyuan Yueyan said.
"Formidable indeed, but the dangers inside will be perilous as well. Why don't you two stay here and wait for me to return?" Chu Linfeng said with a laugh.
"Do you think that's possible? Is it because I haven't corrected you lately that your skin is itching, daring to let us stay here." Xuanyuan Yueyan suddenly retorted angrily, her previous temper flaring up again.
Seeing the anger on Xuanyuan Yueyan's face, Chu Linfeng said, "I was just joking. Since we're going, let's go, but we all have to be careful."
Then, when the three of them arrived at the main hall, Nangong Ming, the Flame Immortal Monarch, and another elder were already inside. Upon seeing Chu Linfeng arrive, Nangong Ming said, "Lin Feng, I'm only bringing the Grand Elder. The Grand Elder's strength is already at the mid-stage Immortal Emperor level, so he's a pretty good helper."
"The most important thing is he understands some Qimen Dunjia Art and some mechanisms that are very helpful for our trip. You wouldn't mind, would you?"
"Of course not, of course not. Having such a talented person with us is something I am eager for. My elder brother is really thoughtful!" Chu Linfeng said with a smile.
The Flame Immortal Monarch and the Grand Elder both paused, unexpectedly realizing this guy was calling the Domain Lord "elder brother," and was talking with camaraderie. Such familiarity is rare in the Immortal Realm.
The Domain Lord of the Emperor Wu Spirit Realm is a top-level expert of the late-stage Immortal Emperor. Everyone respects him immensely, yet these two seemed like friends without any distinction of status.
"Since that's the case, let's head out. Hopefully, we can return safely from this trip!" Nangong Ming said.
Chu Linfeng commanded the Golden Demon Vulture to transform into its original form, and all six of them directly sat on its back, flying swiftly towards the lake where the Immortal Emperor's treasure appeared. The speed was so fast that it left the Grand Elder speechless with astonishment, increasing his curiosity about Chu Linfeng's identity.
No one else in the Immortal Realm has used the Golden-winged Roc as a mount before.
Half a day later, the six of them alighted from the Golden Demon Vulture, looking at the emerald green lake in front of them. Nangong Ming said, "The Immortal Emperor's treasure is beneath this lake; time is of the essence, let's dive in and take a look."
After appearing at the lake, Fairy Luoxia's figure emerged. "So eager to dive in, don't you think you should wait for me? What do you say, Lin Feng?"
Chu Linfeng remembered Fairy Lingxiao saying she would let Luoxia accompany him, surprised that she had arrived ahead of time. "It's great that Fairy Luoxia can come. Just be careful; otherwise, it might turn into heroes rescuing beauty and you'll have to offer yourself in return."
Fairy Luoxia didn't expect Chu Linfeng to joke with her, "You can talk when you get such an opportunity!"
Then, the seven of them directly dove into the lake, while dozens of people appeared on the shore, various communication jade pendants flashing brightly, indicating the lake's tranquility would soon be disrupted.
Chu Linfeng immediately employed a water transformation to separate the surrounding Water Element, creating a path through the water, as if they were walking on land. Everyone marveled at Chu Linfeng's ability.
Soon, they reached the lakebed and, after scanning the area with Divine Sense, detected subtle energy fluctuations about three miles away. They immediately set off towards their destination and arrived quickly.
Chu Linfeng noticed a strong energy barrier shielding the area. There was a stone platform in the distance with a keyhole, probably the key to the Immortal Emperor's treasure.
Chu Linfeng closely examined the barrier and found it was a Light Barrier, which surprised him because someone quite proficient in using Light Elements created it—indicating the Immortal Emperor wasn't simple.
Although the Light Barrier was invisible, it was useless against Chu Linfeng's Eye of Ice and Fire. With a thought, he quickly communicated with the Light Element in the barrier and achieved resonance.
"Elder Brother, don't rush to open this key, otherwise many will follow us in later. I want fewer people inside, and I can break the barrier with you following me in." Chu Linfeng said.
Nangong Ming was startled, looking at Chu Linfeng in shock, "You can break this barrier? Its attack power is quite strong; I attempted to attack it last time and was almost severely injured."
"Just follow me; it's a Light Barrier, known for strong attacks among the Nine Great Elements. While the barrier is powerful, Light Elements have no effect on me. Let's go!" Chu Linfeng said.
Then with a thought, he separated the Light Elemental Molecules in the barrier, creating a one-meter-wide opening for everyone to enter, before entering last and restoring the Light Barrier back to its original state, preventing others from intruding.
"Lin Feng, you are truly impressive. There is no one else in the Immortal Realm who I, Nangong Ming, truly admire except you. Knowing you is the honor of my life." Nangong Ming said with emotion.
"Elder Brother, you're exaggerating. Let's go see what the Immortal Emperor's treasure is like." Chu Linfeng said with a smile...
