Monarch Of Time

Chapter 362 - 362 The reason behind the entrapment

Wan Zedong turned to look at the piece of white iron in Cui Guoliangʼs hands with a complicated look in her eyes, but in the end, she simply nodded her head in response.

Liu Mei turned to look at Shun Long with curiosity in her eyes, but she saw the look of puzzlement in his face as well, obviously having no idea what the white iron in Cui Guoliangʼs hands actually was.

Seeing that neither Shun Long nor the white-veiled young woman next to him were speaking, Cui Guoliang understood that he had yet to explain things properly, and with a smile on his face, the golden-haired Dao King waved his hand, as an old, tattered yellow beast skin appeared in his hands.

With a sigh that seemed to have been trying to expel all of the negative emotions that were bubbled up inside him, Cui Guoliang sat cross-legged in the air, before he looked at Shun Long and asked in a serious tone

ʼʼLittle brother Shun, do you know what this white iron in my hands really is?ʼʼ

Shun Long simply shook his head as he looked at the white iron in Cui Guoliangʼs hands. He was curious as to what was this item that had caused the entrapment of 2 Dao Kings for thousands of years.

Shaking his head, Cui Guoliang first turned to look at his wife who was also sitting next to him, before he said with a smile on his face

ʼʼThis is actually a rank 6 ʼwhite sea oreʼ.ʼʼ

Knowing that Shun Long and the young woman next to him were most likely going to be unaware of the origins of this item, Cui Guoliang then continued

ʼʼThis is an extremely rare ore that can be used by rank 3 gold grade formation masters to create peak rank 3 gold grade weapons and armor, or it can be infused to strengthen gold grade formations!

If a pinnacle rank 3 gold grade formation is infused with this ore, then it will certainly reach the absolute peak of rank 3 gold grade!

No, such a formation may even exceed the gold grade!

Of course, this also requires the formation masterʼs level to have reached the required level as well!ʼʼ

There was a fervent look in Cui Guoliangʼs green eyes as he said the last sentence.

After taking a deep breath, he then added with an excited tone in his voice

ʼʼNevertheless, this is a priceless treasure that cannot be purchased, no matter how many spirit stones a powerful force from the ʼNight star continentʼ is willing to offer!ʼʼ

Shun Long and Liu Mei were both shocked when they heard Cui Guoliangʼs words.

The thing in Cui Guoliangʼs hands was indeed a treasure.

After all, Shun Long already knew, that even the strongest experts of the continent were most likely at the peak of rank 9 of the Dao King realm, with no one managing to reach the level of a Dao Emperor!

At the same time, even with his superficial understanding of formations, Shun Long easily understood that, if there really was a formation that could potentially exceed even the pinnacle of rank 3 gold grade, then no matter how many powerful Dao Kings gathered to fight against it, it would be practically impossible for them to forcefully break through such a formation using brute force!

Seeing that Shun Long could instantly recognize the value of the ore in his hands, Cui Guoliang nodded his head before he turned his eyes to the tattered, yellow-colored beast skin, and said with a look of pain in his eyes

ʼʼBack then, I found this treasure map along with a jade slip with stored information inside it, as well as a small piece of ʼwhite sea oreʼ next to it, in the cave of a deceased expert.

The person who had left these items, probably knew that he was going to die, since he had also recorded a mental message inside the jade slip, saying that if one followed the map carved out in the beast skin they would be able to find an even bigger piece of ʼwhite sea oreʼ.ʼʼ

Turning his head to look at his wife, Cui Guoliang continued with a self-deprecating smile

ʼʼOf course, the moment that I realized that the ʼwhite sea oreʼ was near the core region of the ʼDragon Lordʼs villaʼ, I couldnʼt help but rethink this matter. After all, even middle-stage Dao Kings have a high chance of dying in this place!

I who was just an early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator had no hope of surviving in this place!ʼʼ

As he finished his words, Cui Guoliang looked around him warily, before he placed the ʼwhite sea oreʼ back inside his spatial ring, as he then continued

ʼʼHowever, no matter what, the ʼwhite sea oreʼ wasnʼt a treasure that I could let go!

I cultivated for thousands of years, and after becoming a Dao King and reached the peak of the early stages, I explained everything to Zedong before we came to this place together.

Unfortunately, the map didnʼt mention that the ʼwhite sea oreʼ was hidden in a place filled with powerful formations.ʼʼ

Noticing that Cui Guoliang had fallen silent after he finished this sentence, almost as if he was still trying to realize that he had finally escaped from this endless nightmare, Wan Zedong nodded her head as she then added

ʼʼThankfully, Guoliang had already taken precautions and created the secret realm in the Desolate East in order to find someone to help us!

Although I had always thought that such an action was worthless, in the end, I can only thank you since you were the reason why we could escape!ʼʼ

Seeing Wan Zedong sincerely bow in thanks, Shun Long cupped his hands in response, accepting the Dao Kingʼs act of gratitude.

Straightening her black robes that were embroidered with silver patterns, Wan Zedong then took out a ʼDragon Lordʼs medallionʼ from her spatial ring, and with a smile on her face, she looked at Shun Long and the white-veiled, silent Liu Mei who was standing next to him, before she said

ʼʼUnfortunately, being trapped in that formation meant that we were unable to activate our ʼDragon Lordʼs medallionsʼ and get teleported directly at the villaʼs entrance as well!ʼʼ

Cui Guoliang seemed to have just woken up when he heard Wan Zedongʼs words, as he took out his ʼDragon Lordʼs medallionʼ from his spatial ring as well, before he looked at Shun Long with an apologetic look on his face, as he then added

ʼʼRight, little brother Shun! I forgot to mention this.

If you want to instantly escape from the ʼDragon Lordʼs villaʼ, all you have to do, is to directly inject your qi inside your ʼDragon Lordʼs medallionʼ, and you will be teleported to the villaʼs entrance!

However, you have to be careful!

If you are trapped in a formation similar to ours, then the ʼDragon Lordʼs medallionʼ cannot be activated.

If you donʼt find another way to escape, you will certainly die!ʼʼ

Shun Long had never heard of this before, as he took out his ʼDragon Lordʼs medallion and examined it carefully.

He wasnʼt able to sense any direct connection with it, without injecting his qi inside it.

Even after examining it with his spirit sense, there was still nothing out of the ordinary with the bronze medallion in his hands.

Excited to leave this place and return back to the ʼNight star continentʼ, Cui Guoliang took a deep breath to suppress his anxious emotions, as he looked at Shun Long and the young woman next to him and asked

ʼʼLittle brother Shun, should we return together then? The road forward is extremely dangerous. Even with an early rank 6 magic beast, you wonʼt manage to reach the depths of the ʼDragon Lordʼs villaʼ!ʼʼ

Understanding that Cui Guoliang was only warning him out of goodwill for the dangers that lied deeper inside, Shun Long cupped his hands at the golden-haired Dao King in front of him, before he reached out to hold Liu Meiʼs hand and said in a tone that had obvious hints of gratitude inside it

ʼʼSenior, we have certain matters to investigate, so we wonʼt be able to return back just yet!ʼʼ

Cui Guoliang nodded his head, not willing to pressure the matter.

After sweeping his gaze past Liu Mei, he turned his eyes to look at Shun Long and handed him a token with the words ʼCuiʼ on it, before he said with a smile on his face

ʼʼVery well! Make sure to be careful. This is the token of my Cui clan! If you visit the ʼGolden Shield cityʼ make sure to drop by the Cui clan! Me and Zedong will definitely hold a banquet to welcome you and your wife when the time comes.ʼʼ

Although Cui Guoliang hadnʼt recognized Liu Mei, based on how close she was with Shun Long and the fact that they were traveling together in the most dangerous place of the ʼNight star continentʼ, the experienced Dao King only needed a moment to understand that the white-veiled womanʼs relationship with Shun Long was anything but ordinary.

As soon as he finished his words, the peak rank 3 Dao King and his wife, injected their qi in the ʼDragon Lordʼs medallionsʼ in their hands at the same time.

A golden light descended from the barrier above their heads that covered the entire ʼDragon Lordʼs villaʼ, before it completely enveloped the 2 Dao Kings.

Under Shun Longʼs and Liu Meiʼs eyes, Cui Guoliang and Wan Zedongʼs bodies slowly turned into motes of light, and just a few moments later, they finally disappeared.
