The Deep Sea Xuan Poison was capable of completely destroying the Millennium Owl and paralyzing it. It would be unable to move with only a single drop.
However, it was a questionable method because obtaining this Deep Sea Xuan Poison was impossible. It was the only thing protecting the Naga clan, and who in the world had ever seen a Naga before? Also, the Naga were the most powerful clan in the world. Who would be capable of defeating them?
As such, Dongfang Niemie knew that there was no difference whether he disclosed the second item or not.
Instantly, Yang Dingtian’s face turned extremely pale! He’d gone through all that hardship to make it this far and was unwilling to give up now.
He walked towards the edge of the slate and looked down to see the gigantic Millennium Owl in the magma.
Of course, he could only see one of its eyes. The frightening magma that was capable of melting a person had no effect on it. It was as if it were immersed in a hot spring. Moreover, it looked at Yang Dingtian lazily without reacting like a human looking at an ant beneath its feet. As long as he didn’t disturb it, it would definitely ignore Yang Dingtian.
At the moment, Yang Dingtian really had the urge to close his eyes and jump down, pulling out a knife and directly stabbing the head of the Millennium Owl. Even if he would be torn into pieces.
“Xiao Tian, what’s wrong with you?” Ximen Ningning, who was closely observing Yang Dingtian, asked.
Yang Dingtian took a deep breath and was suddenly reminded of the Deep Sea Xuan shirt that he was wearing, which he had received from Ningning. He almost couldn’t help but ask Ningning about the Deep Sea Xuan Poison, but before he even opened his mouth, he swallowed his words.
Undoubtedly, the Deep Sea Xuan Poison was completely different from the Deep Sea Xuan shirt. The Deep Sea Xuan shirt was like skin taken off by the Naga and could be found anywhere in the world. But as for the Deep Sea Xuan Poison, it a Naga’s last line of defense and would only be found within its body.
Regardless of how mysterious Ningning’s identity was, how would it be possible for her to obtain the Deep Sea Xuan Poison?
“No, you must have something you want to say, so say it,” Ningning said firmly. “Tell me if you think of me as family.”
Ningning’s gaze was gentle as usual but was also filled with determination.
“Apart from the quality Blood Black Gold Sword, I still need something to ensure that the Millennium Owl can’t move. That is the only way I will be able to kill it,” Yang Dingtian said. “But, there is almost nothing in the world capable of holding it still.”
Ningning looked down as well, looking at the Millennium Owl in the magma. Her eyes showed that she was lost in thought.
After a moment, she suddenly said, “Xiao Tian, there is something that is capable of paralyzing this Millennium Owl. It is the Deep Sea Xuan Poison!”
Yang Dingtian was shocked. He didn’t mention the Deep Sea Xuan Poison because he didn’t want her to be bothered by the impossible. But, he never thought that Ningning herself would mention the item.
“That is the Naga’s final line of defense and also the most difficult thing to obtain in the world. A mature Naga is way stronger than a Millennium Owl,” Ximen Ningning said. “Deep Sea Xuan Poison is really something that can’t be found!”
True, the Deep Sea Xuan Poison was something that was almost unobtainable. It was even more difficult to obtain than the demon nucleus of the Millennium Owl.
“But Xiao Tian, the fact that God has led you this far means he wouldn’t give you a dead end.” Ningning looked at Yang Dingtian and said, “Getting Deep Sea Xuan Poison is almost an impossible task for anyone else in the world, but there’s one exception, and that is… me!”
Yang Dingtian’s eyes were wide open, and he looked at Ningning in disbelief.
Ningning walked to him and touched his face. She said gently, “There are two more days before the Yin Yang Festival. Getting Deep Sea Xuan Poison will take me 8 hours each way. I will leave for a while to get it. Just wait for me here.”
She was going to get the Deep Sea Xuan Poison? The last protective item of the Naga? How was she going to get it? Where was she going?
Yang Dingtian had tons of questions, but he couldn’t utter a single word due to shock.
“There is not much time left, but you must wait for me to come back before taking any action. No matter how critical the situation is, don’t take action before I come back, even if you have to give up. Understand?” Ningning said gently.
Yang Dingtian did not answer.
Ningning held his face and said, “Xiao Tian, promise me or I won’t be able to leave assured.”
Yang Dingtian said, “Sister Ningning, I don’t know where you are going to get the Deep Sea Xuan Poison or how you will get it. I won’t ask you about all these secrets. But I can’t let you go alone. I need to go with you.”
Yang Dingtian’s eyes filled with determination.
“Dummy, you won’t be able to come with me. Only I can go,” Ningning said gently.
“Then, I won’t agree,” Yang Dingtian said. “I’d rather fail to break through than to risk your life. What I’m trying to do is to save and not to destroy.”
Ningning said, “There won’t be any danger. It’s just that the journey is very long, several dozen thousand kilometers, and there are some special places that I’ll have to pass by. Also, I’ll be flying most of the time, so there won’t be any danger.”
Yang Dingtian said, “I don’t believe it. How is it possible that the place that contains Deep Sea Xuan Poison is not dangerous?”
“It’s really not dangerous, even less dangerous compared to our journey from the abandoned ore mine to Horror Mountain Village,” Ningning said. “It’s just that there is a little more of a hassle. I have not completed certain tasks yet, so it’s not the right time for me to go there.”
Then, she stuck out her tongue and said, “Okay, I can’t say anymore or else I will end up giving away some of my secrets.”
Yang Dingtian said, “You have already exposed a lot of secrets.”
Ningning said gently, “Once again, I have many secrets, but I can’t tell you now or I’ll be putting you in great trouble.”
“Okay, time is limited. I need to go quickly and return quickly. After I finish cleaning up, I’ll be leaving.” After saying that, she took out a box and began to disguise herself again.
Yang Dingtian hugged Ningning, smelling the fragrance of her body. “No, I don’t want to let you go. I don’t believe that there is no price for this Deep Sea Xuan Poison, and I don’t want you to pay the price for me.”
Ningning touched Yang Dingtian’s face and said, “Price? I have paid the greatest price by hiding in Cloud Sky City. What other price do I have to pay? Don’t worry. For others, even your Master, the strongest person in the world, it would be impossible to obtain the Deep Sea Xuan Poison. But for me, it’s not difficult at all.”
“But, why can’t I go and get the Deep Sea Xuan Poison myself? Why do I have to let you take the risk?” Yang Dingtian asked.
“Aiya…” Ningning laughed. “You’re so egotistic. You can’t even accept a little help from me.”
Then, she said gently, “Xiao Tian, no one in the world can be all by himself. Everyone needs to rely on others. They must not merely share the happiest moments but also their worries and problems.”
Within a short period of time, Ningning was done disguising and had changed to a completely new face. It was a very delicate face that was as white as white jade.
Then, she held Yang Dingtian’s face, looked at him for a while, and said seriously, “Xiao Tian, promise me. Wait till I come back. Only then will you take action. If I haven’t returned, don’t take action no matter how critical the situation is, even if you were to fail. Promise me or I won’t be able to leave assured.”
“I promise you. I won’t take action unless you return.”
“Good!” Ningning said gently as she kissed Yang Dingtian’s lips. Then, she yelled upwards, “Senior Zhao Wujin, please let me go up.”
Instantly, a wooden cage held by a metal chain was sent down. Ningning walked inside, and Yang Dingtian wanted to follow, but she pushed him a little and said, “Don’t need to see me off. I’ll be back in two days.”
Yang Dingtian took a deep breath and said, “You said before that there won’t be any danger.”
Ningning laughed. “This time, there won’t be much danger, but in the future, whether it will be dangerous for you, I can’t tell.”
Yang Dingtian looked at the wooden cage as it was pulled up, looking at Ningning’s figure that was getting further and further away.
“Xiao Tian, I will definitely be back in two days. Wait for me,” Ningning said.
“I will.”
“Crack…” After the wooden cage reached the surface, the door was shut, and Ningning could no longer be seen.
After she left, Yang Dingtian did not do anything but sit on the ground and meditate, waiting.
One day passed!
There was only one day left until the Yin Yang Festival, which meant that Ningning only had hours to get the Deep Sea Xuan Poison.
Ningning said that the place she was going was very far away, several dozen thousand kilometers away. Yang Dingtian had no idea what type of flying beast was capable of flying such a distance twice in two days. But, since Ningning said it, it must be true.
In the afternoon, Zhao Mu and Zhao Wujin came to see Yang Dingtian again. Zhao WjJin was holding a long box this time. The box was blue in color and was emanating an icy-cold aura. This was the Xuan Ice Jade box that was frighteningly cold to the extent that even an elite like Zhao Wujin needed to wear gloves to hold it.
“My father’s quality Bloody Black Gold Sword that swallowed its owner is in here. It needs to be stored in this Xuan Ice box to suppress its violent aura,” Zhao Mu said. “I’ve let uncle Wujin try it before. After taking this sword out of the Xuan Ice box, you can’t leave it outside for more than three breaths. Otherwise, the violent sword spirit in it will awaken and destroy whoever is holding the sword.”
Of course, Zhao Mu hadn’t finished talking. The sword spirit inside the sword was extremely powerful. As soon as it reacts, with Yang Dingtian’s cultivation, he wouldn’t last for even half a second.
Zhao Wujin opened the Xuan Ice Box, exposing the quality Bloody Black Gold.
This sword was extremely arrogant with a forceful aura. And, it was nothing like Ximen Wuya, who was simpler but livelier.
“This sword is known as Wuji, having the same name as Zhao Wuji. It is three feet long and weighs eighty pounds,” Zhao Wujin said. “From now on, this sword belongs to you.”
