Chapter 1256 - 1253: Iron Stone Island

Chu Hao arrived below the deck and met Wang Junyi, a burly middle-aged man; he was Wang Lingyun's trusted adopted son, Wang Junyi.

What Chu Hao did not expect was that Wang Junyi was a Yin Yang Emperor, a man of extraordinary power, and one of the strong men heading to the Snowy Shadow Domain this time.

Wang Junyi smiled and said, "Master Ancestor, Father has already told me everything. You can trust me with confidence."

Even Wang Junyi did not expect the disciple of Wang Changsheng to reappear in the Human World, now among the Purple Guards, something he only learned about recently.

Chu Hao asked, "What do you want from me?"

Wang Junyi replied, "This time heading to the Snowy Shadow Domain, Father has instructed me to ensure that Master Ancestor obtains the Beast Core of the Undying Phoenix, as it has tremendous benefits for cultivating the Longevity Curse Body."

The Beast Core of the Undying Phoenix?

Chu Hao was surprised; the Undying Phoenix was surely one of the Ten Fierce Beasts.

Wang Junyi continued, "The core of the Undying Phoenix can constantly release life energy. Back in the day, Wang Changsheng, the Master Ancestor, used the core of the Undying Phoenix to cultivate the Longevity Curse Body."

Chu Hao was delighted, saying, "That sounds promising."

Wang Junyi said, "After reaching the Snowy Shadow Domain, I will head into its depths to seek the trails of the Undying Phoenix."

"Thank you."

Wang Junyi shook his head, saying, "Master Ancestor is the only hope for the Longevity Hall and the disciple Wang Changsheng sought for years; what I do is as ought to be."

"Also, while I search for the footprints of the Undying Phoenix, you, Master Ancestor, should seek the ancient Ice Marrow, which is said to be by the Extreme Cold River in the Snowy Shadow Domain. This is easier to find; it's used for cooling the heat of the Undying Phoenix's core, and only paired with ancient Ice Marrow can we absorb the life energy from the core."

Chu Hao nodded, saying, "Understood."

Wang Junyi hesitated for a moment before asking, "May I inquire, Master Ancestor, to what level has your cultivation of the Longevity Curse Body reached?"

Chu Hao looked at him and said, "Intermediate stage."

Wang Junyi gasped in surprise; it was already at the intermediate stage.

No wonder Wang Changsheng had been traveling for many years seeking a successor; and besides, Chu Hao was so young—surely only twenty-two years old?

Wang Changsheng had cultivated the Longevity Curse Body starting at thirty and reached the intermediate stage at thirty-five.

Even Wang Junyi, a Yin Yang Emperor, saw hope for the Longevity Hall's future, clearly the reason Father valued Chu Hao so much.

Besides Wang Lingyun, Chu Hao's existence was known only to him.

Right, and there was Shen Qian.

Wang Junyi said sternly, "About Shen Qian, should I take action? Recently, I noticed a young man named Jiang Haotian lingering around her, which might cause complications."

Chu Hao shook his head, saying, "No, don't make a move for now; it's Jiang Haotian who's causing me trouble daily."

Wang Junyi's eyes turned cold, "Understood."

Poor Jiang Haotian didn't know he was targeted by a Yin Yang Emperor.

Snowy Shadow Domain.

The Sacred Land's flying boat flew for three days.

Suddenly, the rapidly advancing flying boat halted, and all Purple Guards gathered on the deck, unclear about the situation.

It turned out that the flying boat had sailed to the ocean, an endless blue expanse like the sky reflecting on the sea surface.

The flying boat stopped above an island.

A man appeared on the deck, a leader among the Purple Guards, saying, "Below you is Iron Stone Island. There's a plant there called Iron Wood Fruit. Now, all except the Yin-Yang King's Purple Guard, go ashore. If you can find Iron Wood Fruits and bring them back, each can be exchanged for a hundred credits, no limit."

Everyone was ecstatic.

One hundred credits for just one fruit; such luck!

They knew what credits were for. With enough, they could enjoy the Sacred Land's resources.

Usually, they had to struggle desperately to earn credits through tasks.

"Then, let's proceed."

Groups of young Purple Guards started moving, using various methods to leave the flying boat and descend towards Iron Stone Island.

"Wow! So lively, I want to go play too."

A young, adorable girl appeared on the deck, seeing the Purple Guards surging towards Iron Stone Island with excitement.

An elder beside her gently said, "If the miss wants to go, I'll take you to play."

The girl named Duan Xiaoxiao had an astonishing background; her grandfather was the current Yin Yang Saint of Jiuhua Glory Holy Land. She pouted, saying, "Anywhere with Uncle Feng is no fun."

The elder sighed helplessly, saying, "Then I'll have Duan Fei take you."

Duan Xiaoxiao looked at the young man beside her, Duan Fei.

Duan Fei quickly said, "Miss, I'm familiar with Iron Stone Island; there are many fun things there."

Duan Xiaoxiao gleefully said, "Then let's go; if there's nothing fun, I'll hold you accountable."

Duan Fei dared not reply, he was merely a servant of the Duan family, saying, "Yes, miss."

Then, the two left the flying boat for Iron Stone Island.

Chu Hao also set off but was stopped by Liu Chuan, who said, "Zhang Han, wait a moment."

It was him again, Liu Chuan from the green pasture.

Chu Hao asked, "What is it?"

Liu Chuan said, "Rumor has it there's a plant beneath Iron Stone Island called Iron Core Orchid, an extremely rare medicinal herb. I want to ask if you, Brother Zhang Han, might bring some back for me, I have great rewards to offer."

Chu Hao looked at him with a pitiful gaze and nodded, "Sure, I'll keep an eye out."

Liu Chuan was delighted, saying, "Lu Wan said it right; you're a good person."

Chu Hao: "…"

You're praising me so much that I'm quite embarrassed.

If you knew your fiancée and I did that stuff before in the warehouse of a flying boat, you wouldn't be saying that.

Poor guy.

On Iron Stone Island.

This is reality; sometimes a forced marriage isn't sweet, instead even greener.

Chu Hao looked around, finally understanding why the island is called Iron Stone Island.

The plants growing here made a clinking sound as the sea wind blew, as if struck metal and stone.

Chu Hao picked up a leaf, which turned out to be as hard as iron.

The soil on the ground was rich in metal elements.

"Boom!"

A fierce battle erupted ahead, and Chu Hao stepped on treetops to get closer.

He saw two Purple Guards confronting a Shanhai Beast, a robust creature with a wolf-like physique.

Its fur was black, rooted like steel, and its fierce gaze fixed on the two Purple Guards.

One Purple Guard exclaimed, "Iron Stone Beast, it's a Shanhai Beast guarding the Iron Stone Fruit."

"Damn! I knew it wouldn't be easy."

The Iron Stone Beast charged, and the two simultaneously unleashed their Yin-Yang Techniques, but it was pointless against the Iron Stone Beast; they were stunned.

"Retreat, the Iron Stone Beast's hallmark is its indestructible body; ordinary Yin-Yang Techniques are ineffective against it."

One Purple Guard snorted, saying, "Then let's try this move: Blast Formation."
