Chapter 383: Beast Spirit Barrier

Chapter 383: Beast Spirit Barrier

"What a mystical battle technique! And you created this technique yourself, Xiao Ze?" After learning about the origins of the Thunder Body, Zi Yan couldn't help but marvel again. She had thought she was already used to Xiao Ze's monstrous talents, but it seemed she was still far from it.

Although Medusa, Xiao Yi Xian, and Qing Lin knew about the marvels of the Thunder Body, seeing Xiao Ze use it on such a large scale was still shocking.

"Alright, now use your treasure-hunting ability to find the scent of any medicinal herbs," Xiao Ze said, patting Zi Yan's head. Although Zi Yan had grown up, Xiao Ze still couldn't break the habit of patting her head.

Zi Yan shook her head, shaking off Xiao Ze's hand, and sniffed the air lightly, saying, "Are you saying that the treasure is a medicinal herb?"

"More or less, it's a natural treasure that will greatly benefit you."

Zi Yan furrowed her brows. A natural treasure that greatly benefits the Taixu Ancient Dragon clan? She couldn't think of anything immediately. The Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit was too rare; even within the Taixu Ancient Dragon clan, not everyone knew about it. There were only five recorded instances of the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit in the history of the Taixu Ancient Dragon clan.

"There is a faint scent of a natural treasure over there; nowhere else," Zi Yan pointed towards one of the passages.

"Let's go," Xiao Ze said, leading the group into the passage. The palace's corridors were vast, and as they flew through them, they felt like small birds in a massive building.

As they chatted along the way, they speculated whether this Dou Saint might not be a human cultivator but rather from another race. Otherwise, why would he build such a large palace and corridors? Ultimately, they attributed it to the Dou Saint's unique preference for grand architecture.

After traversing the corridors for a while, they stopped before a moss-covered stone door.

"This is it," Xiao Ze confirmed. With a wave of his hand, a beam of Dou Qi struck the stone door, which slowly opened. As it did, a rich medicinal fragrance that seemed to have been sealed for countless years wafted out, invigorating their spirits.

When the door fully opened, a brilliant light shone from within. Medusa immediately placed her hand on her sword hilt, alert and ready. The others also prepared their Dou Qi, ready for any sudden threats. After all, this was a Dou Saint's relic, not a tourist spot.

Once the blinding light faded, they peered inside, their expressions turning to astonishment. Zi Yan couldn't help but swallow, staring inside.

Before them lay a forest, a forest entirely made of rare and precious natural treasures! For Zi Yan, this ancient forest was like a sanctuary.

Zi Yan's eyes darted everywhere, naming the various natural treasures she saw, each one more valuable than the last. She had already identified dozens within moments. She kept popping pills into her mouth, trying to control her urge to rush in and start devouring the treasures.

"Is this the work of a Dou Saint, building such a forest of natural treasures in his abode?" Xiao Yi Xian marveled, her mouth agape. She had thought following Xiao Ze had shown her enough wonders, but this surpassed her imagination.

"This forest of treasures might rival even the ones in the Dan Realm," Xiao Ze remarked, equally impressed by the Dou Saint's grand design.

Zi Yan, after emptying a bottle of pills into her mouth and wiping her lips with her hand, turned to Xiao Ze. "Is this the treasure you mentioned? This forest of natural treasures is immensely beneficial to me!"

Xiao Ze laughed. "No, this forest is nothing compared to the real treasure. Even if you devour all these natural treasures, it won't guarantee you'll become a Dou Saint. But if you absorb the real treasure, achieving Dou Saint would be as easy as eating or drinking."

His words left everyone, especially Zi Yan, stunned. They all knew how hard it was to become a Dou Saint, a level countless geniuses struggled to reach.

"Xiao Ze, your words are making me itch with anticipation," Zi Yan said, trusting his words but unable to recall any natural treasure that powerful for the Taixu Ancient Dragon clan. The Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit was too rare to consider.

"The treasure is deep within the ancient forest," Xiao Ze said, leading them towards the forest's depths.

With Xiao Ze's abilities concealing their presence, they moved through the forest without alerting any beasts. Even if they had, Xiao Ze's mere presence would deter any creature from causing trouble.

As they neared the forest's center, Zi Yan's expression changed. "It feels like there's an aura of an elder from my Taixu Ancient Dragon clan."

She looked at Xiao Ze, who smiled and nodded, but didn't explain further. They finally reached a clearing, where Zi Yan exclaimed, "A Beast Spirit Barrier!?"

Seeing the puzzled looks on the others' faces, Zi Yan explained, "This is formed only by a very powerful magical beast at the time of its death."

"Open it up. The treasure is inside," Xiao Ze instructed.

Zi Yan bit her lip, looking sorrowful. She bit her finger, letting a few drops of golden blood fall on the Beast Spirit Barrier.

"Only someone with the same bloodline can open a Beast Spirit Barrier."

As the golden blood streaked down the barrier, a golden crack appeared. Zi Yan glanced at Xiao Ze, who signaled her to proceed. She stepped inside, followed by the others, as the golden crack closed behind them.

"Such a terrifying aura!" Xiao Yi Xian exclaimed as they entered. They found themselves on a blood-red, desolate plain. At the center stood a hundred-foot-tall ancient stone altar, radiating an overwhelming pressure.
