I just became the Pirate King, and you're telling me I also time-traveled at the same time.

Chapter 801 Ancient Jade Pool! The Western Emperor's Scripture! Jade Gambling!

Aside from the Origin Technique, the Dou Character Secret, and the Dao of Arrays, Chu Yang's biggest gain from this trip was this map.

He didn't know the exact location of the Ancient Jade Pool, so he pried this information out of the Black Emperor.

Black Emperor is definitely the type to take every last penny. If it were anyone else, they'd be lucky to escape its clutches, let alone get anything for free.

But it dared not harbor any ill intentions towards Chu Yang, nor even dared to use false information to deceive him.

A living, contemporary emperor is truly terrifying!

This is why the Black Emperor is so loyal to the Great Emperor Wushi. If it were anyone else, they would probably be eager to curry favor with him and try to cling to his coattails.

Following the map, Chu Yang used his true spirit power to traverse the void for nearly three days before finally finding the location of the old Yaochi site using his Origin Technique.

Over the long years, the landscape has changed dramatically. If Chu Yang hadn't learned the Origin Book, even with the Black Emperor's map, he might not have been able to find it.

After all, it's not just the old site of Yaochi; other landforms on the map have also been completely altered.

The rest was much simpler. Chu Yangyi swept his divine sense across the area, creating the ancient well, and then jumped in.

The ancient well was connected to an underground river, but the riverbed had long since dried up, and the surrounding area was pitch black.

After walking for about thirty or forty miles, the terrain gradually rose, and Chu Yang finally arrived at a large lake.

The underground river connects to the bottom of the lake, but the lake has also dried up, and there are some incredibly long fish bones scattered around.

Chu Yang took out the map again, determined the direction, and then flew away.

We passed by some pavilions and towers along the way, most of which had collapsed, and the rest were decaying and dilapidated.

The further you go, the more the surrounding scenery becomes, like a fairyland, incredibly beautiful.

One can imagine how prosperous this place must have been in the past, and how magnificent Yaochi must have been back then...

Chu Yang ignored all the wonders along the way and did not explore the ruins of Yaochi. He had a clear goal and followed the map to find a majestic stone mountain.

His eyes glowed with a pale blue light as he peered into the sacred mountain using the Great Luo Cave Observation Technique, a smile finally appearing on his face.

He then flew up the cliff and began to meditate quietly.

Although Black Emperor is unreliable, at least he doesn't dare to lie to him, and the map is very accurate.

This mountain contains a part of the Western Emperor Scripture, but even if ordinary cultivators can see the extraordinary nature of this mountain, they will find it difficult to comprehend even a tiny fragment of it.

To comprehend the Western Emperor Scripture from a mere mountain cliff is no easy task; it demands an extremely high level of comprehension.

On the cliff, there was a blurry stone carving of the sun and moon. In just a moment, the stone carving suddenly burst forth with a dazzling light.

Flames surged, and a sun rose slowly, enveloping Chu Yang completely, making him appear like a god in the midst of the sun.

After a short while, the light completely faded. Chu Yang glanced at it and flew off in another direction.

Chu Yang found five cliffs in a row. The stone carvings on each cliff represented a cultivation method of a divine treasure within the body.

After deciphering the stone carvings on the last cliff, he finally achieved his goal and collected the complete Western Emperor Scripture Palace scroll!

"All that effort wasn't in vain..."

Chu Yang sighed, shattered the map with a wave of his hand, then randomly found a mountain peak and began to cultivate in seclusion to refine what he had obtained before, as well as the resources Qin Yao had given him.

After about half a month, when Chu Yang emerged from seclusion, his body was surging with divine power, his life essence was abundant, and his cultivation level had improved by another step.

However, it is still far from reaching the perfection of the Sea of ​​Wheels Secret Realm.

After leaving the ancient Yaochi, Chu Yang found the nearest bustling city.

resource!

He's desperately short of resources right now!

With offensive tactics and Dao Palace secret scrolls in hand, the most urgent task is to acquire as many resources as possible.

He doesn't have the curse of the Ancient Sacred Body, so he doesn't need to worry about not being able to break through.

Resources are the only obstacle limiting his cultivation advancement!

Currently, the most convenient way to acquire resources is undoubtedly through gambling on stones.

Quzhou is an oasis far from the center of the northern region, hundreds of thousands of miles away from the holy city, so it is not a prosperous place.

But among the short, the most prosperous city in Quzhou, "Chaoyang," can be considered the "economic center" of a large surrounding area.

When Chu Yang arrived at the gate of Chaoyang City, he was stunned for a moment when he saw the wanted posters posted on the city wall.

Because the person wanted on that notice was actually him!

The bounty was issued by the Jiang family, and the reward amount was as high as tens of thousands of catties of resources.

"Has Jiang Taixu not returned to the Jiang family yet?"

"that is……"

"He was on his deathbed, with no time to attend to family matters, and went straight into seclusion?"

Chu Yang felt that it was most likely the second possibility.

Jiang Taixu wasn't stupid. He claimed to be the reincarnation of the Great Emperor when he was in Zishan. Although he didn't leave his name, as long as people heard the name of the Young Emperor of Chu and the rumors about him, it was easy to make the connection.

No matter how much the thirteenth ancestor of the Jiang family wanted revenge, they would never issue a bounty on the old god-king's savior.

Regardless of how outsiders will view this matter, there will be a lot of opposition within the Jiang family alone.

It was this source of tens of thousands of kilograms that truly tempted Chu Yang.

Offering such a high reward for a mere cultivator from the Sea of ​​Wheels Secret Realm is truly a generous gesture.

Of course, to get the bounty on Wan Jin Yuan, the prerequisite is to capture him alive or kill him and exchange his head for his bounty.

If you only provide clear clues and intelligence, you will only receive a reward of a thousand catties of gold.

But Chu Yang felt that the bounty was more like an attitude from the Jiang family, and he guessed that no one would care about it at all.

Because coming to cause him trouble means that you might have to face the might of the Emperor!

For powerful cultivators, ten thousand catties of source energy is not enough to make them risk their lives.

As for weaker cultivators, anyone with a modicum of self-awareness would not dare to wade into these muddy waters.

However, Chu Yang miscalculated this time, because after entering the city, before he even found the gambling stone shop, he heard a lot about him.

It seems that the entire northern region of the Eastern Wilderness is now searching for his whereabouts!

The reason for this is that after the Fire Domain incident, some people claimed that Chu Yang could no longer borrow the power of his previous life.

Otherwise, why would he need to ask a powerful demon for help?

Why bother using the divine fire in the Fire Domain to challenge the Jiang family?

In the past, Chu Yang gave people the impression that he could draw upon the power of his past life at any time, but this time he relied entirely on himself, which made people wonder.

There's another piece of news...

It is said that someone impersonated him and swindled three thousand catties of Yuan from the Jiang family!

This incident enraged the Jiang family, driving them almost to madness.

First, he was publicly humiliated by Chu Yang in the Southern Region, and now he has been tricked out of 3,000 jin of Origin by someone who treats him like a fool.

Putting the losses aside for now, this is a huge loss of face!

Surprisingly, despite their anger, the Jiang family did not launch a major attack. They simply posted a bounty, seemingly unwilling to take action themselves and instead hoping to rely on outsiders to deal with Chu Yang.

Chu Yang understood exactly what was going on.

Jiang Taixu must have already returned to the Jiang family!

Therefore, the Jiang family is now unwilling to create any unnecessary complications and is single-mindedly trying to find a way to prolong the life of the old god king.

If an unparalleled god-king were to reappear in the world, the Jiang family would surely be able to sweep away all enemies in this era!

Therefore, this bounty and wanted notice was most likely created by the lineage of the Thirteenth Ancestor.

After wandering around Chaoyang City, Chu Yang finally arrived at a jade gambling shop called Yaochi.

The jade gambling business in the major holy sites almost encompasses the entire Northern Region. In any city that can be considered prosperous, there is bound to be more than one jade gambling shop.

Chu Yang chose Yaochi Stone Gambling House because he knew that Yaochi Holy Land was closely related to the lineage of Yuan Tianshi.

Who knows, some seemingly insignificant source stone may have been left behind by the Source Master at random, containing divine source within!

Entering the jade gambling market, there weren't many customers inside.

The few people who were there all chose the cheapest Originium from the outer courtyard.

The gambling stone workshop doesn't rely on these customers for its livelihood; its main income comes from the inner courtyard.

The price of Originium there is exorbitant; it's like going three years without business, but when business picks up, you can live off it for three years.

Of course, if some rare and precious treasure is found, then we'll be rich.

Gambling on jade is not just a gamble for individuals; the owners are gambling as well!

However, most jade gambling shops have experts in jade sourcing techniques or jade gambling masters in charge.

Originium stones are all first processed by them, screened, then categorized and priced for sale.

Chu Yang didn't rush into the inner courtyard. When it comes to gambling on stones, you don't necessarily have to choose the ones with the best appearance.

Sometimes, seemingly ordinary, even worthless, stones may contain hidden wonders.

Walking in the outer courtyard, Chu Yang's gaze swept over the source stones one after another, but he never used his true spirit power.

The source stones in this outer courtyard aren't expensive, so even if he made a mistake, he didn't care. He could just treat it as a test of his source techniques.

During this period, apart from studying the Western Emperor Scripture, he was constantly pondering the Origin Heaven Book, whether he was in seclusion or traveling.

Not only does Chu Yang want to thoroughly understand and master it, but he also wants to combine this Celestial Master's Origin Technique with the Feng Hou Qi Men and verify them against each other.

If many of the techniques of the Source Art can be directly applied to the Qimen formation, then creating a formation within his own body will definitely have a very good effect.

After wandering around for about fifteen minutes, Chu Yang beckoned over a servant, pointed to several source stones, and spent a total of six jin of source stones to acquire them.

Finally, he arrived at a source stone that was half the height of a person. He had already paid the price, so without any hesitation, he raised his hand and used his divine power to create a sword to cut the source stone in half!

"Snap!"

The Originium cracked and nearly a third of it was cut away.

Chu Yang's sword strike was perfectly timed, removing part of the outer layer of stone without damaging the precious treasure inside.

"It's been released!!"

A chorus of exclamations erupted from the outer courtyard as all the gamblers crowded around, scrutinizing the scene as if trying to discern something to learn from.

The servant standing next to Chu Yang was also dumbfounded. He had just gotten this job a few days ago, but he had never seen a customer who could open the source.

This is the first time this has ever happened, and judging from the size of that stone, it must weigh more than six pounds!

This is already a huge increase. The servant suddenly remembered the price Chu Yang had just paid for all the source stones, which was exactly over six jin. He was secretly shocked.

Is it a coincidence?

Or was it something we had anticipated?

He couldn't understand it, but he was impressed by its profound meaning.

Ignoring everyone's gaze, Chu Yang flashed a hint of disappointment in his eyes, stepped forward and swiftly extracted and stored the source from it.

Actually, when he was observing this source stone, he felt that it might contain rare treasures.

If the price of Originium rises significantly, not to mention ancient treasures and divine sources, even some rare Originium found by chance will be worth far more than ordinary sources.

"I can only be considered a beginner in the advanced stage, not yet a grandmaster..."

Chu Yang was not entirely satisfied with his Origin Techniques, as both Feng Hou Qi Men and Da Luo Dong Guan shared many similarities with the Origin Heavenly Book.

Therefore, he did not directly cultivate the Origin Heaven Divine Eye, but instead kept verifying his understanding of the two extraordinary techniques.

He wanted to develop a system that was independent of, yet superior to, the Source Technique.

But this Great Completion Source Technique is enough. As long as you don't go to those few gambling stone shops in the Holy City, you basically won't be fooled. It's just a matter of how much money you make.

Leaving behind the astonished gamblers and servants in the outer courtyard, Chu Yang strode directly into the inner courtyard.

There were some valuable source stones in the outer courtyard, but most of them were just "mosquito legs," and Chu Yang was too lazy to pick them out one by one.

Upon entering the inner courtyard, the surroundings instantly became quiet, with only a few young people gathered together, discussing and commenting on a strange rock.

Not far away, in a pavilion, an old man lay on a rattan chair, leisurely basking in the sun.

Upon seeing the three young men, Chu Yang was momentarily stunned.

Because he knew one of them!

Just outside the fire zone, this guy was hiding in the crowd, stirring up trouble. At first, he harbored malicious intentions, but later he was intentionally helping.

Narrowing his eyes, Chu Yang ignored the three of them and began to examine the source stones in the inner courtyard one by one.

The source stones here are many times more expensive than those outside, and some even reach astronomical prices.

However, since it was a gambling stone market in the holy land, Chu Yang did not discover any fraudulent activities.

It's important to know that some jade gambling shops, in order to swindle people, will deliberately open up the source stones containing rare treasures, take away the source inside, and then seal them back up.

A moment later, one of the three young men, a dark-skinned man, glanced at Chu Yang and froze.

"Hey, what are you thinking about?" a young man asked, puzzled.

The dark-faced man, Li Heishui, ignored him and continued to stare blankly at Chu Yang.

Another young man of medium build with shrewd eyes curled his lip and said, "Ever since this guy went to the Southern Region, he's been like he's lost his soul..."

He suddenly grinned mischievously, his eyes darting around slyly. "I heard... the Holy Maiden of Yao Guang was also present at the Fire Domain incident!"

"Could it be that he fell in love at first sight with the Holy Maiden of Yao Guang, and that's why he can't eat or sleep?"

The two men burst into laughter. Li Heishui, finally snapping out of his daze, turned and glared at the shrewd-eyed youth, muttering curses:

"Damn it! Tu Fei, if you keep making up nonsense, I'll rip your big mouth off!"

Tu Fei wasn't annoyed; he just laughed it off.

Another young man glanced at Chu Yang, then lowered his voice and asked, "Old Hei, do you know him?"

Li Heishui nodded, and the young man's eyes lit up. "Make a move?"

Li Heishui's face darkened even more, and he said irritably, "You're really full of bad intentions!"

"Dare to lay a hand on the young emperor of Chu?"

"You're tired of living, but I'm not!"

Upon hearing this, Tu Fei and the young man were immediately stunned.

who?!?

Chu Shaodi? Chu Yang?

They looked the boy over carefully, and then they noticed...

It does look somewhat familiar!

Then, recalling the wanted posters and bounties posted on the city wall, isn't this the same person?

Good guy!

Wanted by an ancient and powerful family, yet making no attempt at disguise, they brazenly gamble on stones here? (End of Chapter)
