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

Chapter 404 The Great Demon Buddha! The White Dragon Spiritual Treasury! What kind of situation is t

The reason Chu Yang had the Great Thousand Palace investigate the White Dragon Supreme and White Dragon Hill instead of going directly to the Northern Cang Continent was because of a key destabilizing factor.

That is, he was unsure whether the White Dragon Supreme was still alive!

In the original storyline, the White Dragon Supreme's spiritual treasure appeared in the world several hundred years later.

Centuries later, the intelligence gathered by the Northern Cang Spiritual Academy contained detailed records about White Dragon Hill.

According to records, White Dragon Hill was a battlefield hundreds of years ago where a large-scale battle took place, resulting in the deaths of countless powerful individuals, including some at the Supreme Realm. White Dragon Supreme is suspected to be among them.

But that only applies to the Northern Cang Spiritual Academy. In the eyes of Chu Yang and the Great Thousand Palace, the so-called large-scale battle is nothing more than a small skirmish.

However, Chu Yang is currently in the future, several hundred years in the past, so he cannot be sure whether White Dragon Hill has already experienced that battle, or whether the White Dragon Supreme has perished.

If these things had not yet happened, then even with the intelligence network of the Great Thousand Palace, finding a Supreme Realm expert from a lower plane in the vast Great Thousand World would be like finding a needle in a haystack.

But regardless of whether these events have already occurred, they have both advantages and disadvantages for Chu Yang.

If the White Dragon Supreme is already dead, his spiritual treasure must be at White Dragon Hill. It wouldn't be difficult for Chu Yang to find it.

If the White Dragon Supreme is not dead, although it will take some effort to find him, with his guidance, it will be easier than Chu Yang searching for the Plane Spirit on the White Dragon Continent himself.

On the top floor of the Great Thousand Tower, holding a crystal ball, Chu Yang probed into it with his soul power.

A moment later, he opened his eyes, frowned, and muttered, "Dragon Demon Palace? Evil race?"

Some of the information in this intelligence was beyond his expectations. The Dragon Demon Palace, which now almost dominates the entire North Cang Continent, was actually colluding with the evil race from beyond the realm!

If it weren't for the fact that the Great Thousand Palace launched an investigation into Chu Yang, the Dragon Demon Palace might have been able to deceive everyone.

After all, the strongest in the Dragon Demon Palace is only at the Supreme Realm, so such a third-rate force naturally doesn't attract much attention.

On the Northern Cang Continent, the only institution that can rival the Dragon Demon Palace is the Northern Cang Spiritual Academy.

However, as one of the five major academies, the Northern Cang Spiritual Academy has never had any ambition to dominate; its primary goal has always been to cultivate students.

Although the Dragon Demon Palace is extremely brutal, the Great Thousand Realms have never lacked such forces.

There are many different paths to cultivation. Whether one is righteous or demonic, reaching the pinnacle can lead to divine abilities, and there is no distinction between noble and lowly.

While the Dragon Demon Palace is certainly criticized, if it can produce an unparalleled powerhouse, no one will dare to say anything more.

The main reason why the Great Thousand Palace spent so much time investigating the White Dragon Supreme and the White Dragon Hill was that it discovered the collusion between the Dragon Demon Palace and the extraterrestrial evil race.

This was an unexpected bonus, so the Great Thousand Palace simply sent powerful experts to assist the Northern Cang Spiritual Academy in annihilating the Dragon Demon Palace.

Chu Yang never imagined that the destruction of the Dragon Demon Palace would be caused by his own actions.

But he didn't care about these things; he was just slightly surprised.

The most crucial piece of information is that the White Dragon Supreme fell in the battle of the strong ten years ago at White Dragon Hill.

The reason why Daqian Palace discovered that Dragon Demon Palace had connections with the extraterrestrial evil race was because it found clues about the extraterrestrial evil race while investigating an incident ten years ago.

Only by following the clues could they uncover the Dragon Demon Palace in one fell swoop.

The Great Thousand Palace and the Northern Cang Spiritual Academy have now sealed off White Dragon Hill, and the experts of the Great Thousand Palace have even locked onto the White Dragon Spiritual Treasure, waiting for Chu Yang to go there in person.

Although they didn't understand why Chu Yang would attach so much importance to a mere Supreme Realm expert, since it was Chu Yang who needed it, the Great Thousand Palace would naturally do its utmost to help.

As Chu Yang pushed open the door, he bumped into the old man from the Great Thousand Palace who was guarding the Holy Abyss Continent.

The old man cupped his hands in greeting and asked, "Elder Chu, is there any oversight in the intelligence?"

Chu Yang shook his head and said, "I must thank you for your trouble, senior!"

The old man chuckled and said, "Elder Chu, you're too kind. We're all family. Besides, this investigation might not have uncovered the collusion between the Dragon Demon Palace and the extraterrestrial evil races."

"Although those evil races are not strong, a thousand-mile dike can be breached by an ant hole. If we allow them to stir up trouble within the Great Thousand Worlds, the consequences could be endless!"

After a pause, the old man tentatively asked, "Elder Chu, are you leaving already?"

Chu Yang nodded and said, "I have troubled you greatly these past few days. Now that there is nothing amiss on the Holy Abyss Continent, I will take my leave!"

The old man took a deep breath and said, "Elder Chu has slain many Demon Emperors, a feat that will be remembered for generations. You are the one who slays the Demon King for our Great Thousand Palace. If you ever need anything in the future, the Great Thousand Palace will certainly not refuse!"

Chu Yang smiled and suddenly asked, "How has Qin Tian been lately?"

The old man said with a sigh, "I'm afraid it won't be long before he officially becomes the person in charge of my Great Thousand Palace!"

Chu Yang nodded, and after exchanging a few pleasantries with the old man, he took his leave.

Instead of using the teleportation array on the Sacred Abyss Continent, he had already located the coordinates of the Northern Warehouse Continent three days prior and constructed a temporary teleportation array during those three days.

No transfer is needed, and the speed is much faster than ordinary teleportation arrays.

…………

Northern Cang Continent.

After the recent war, the entire Northern Cang Continent was in a state of desolation, with many cities reduced to ruins and the area where the Dragon Demon Palace was located almost completely leveled.

The Northern Cang Continent is currently in a state of disrepair and in need of rebuilding.

Especially for the students of the Northern Cang Spiritual Academy, the continent is full of treasures, and many places where powerful people have fallen may contain rare treasures.

As a result, a "Taobao craze" swept across the Northern Cang Continent, which also allowed many lucky students of the Northern Cang Spiritual Academy to soar to great heights due to great opportunities.

It is foreseeable that for a long time to come, the Northern Cang Spiritual Academy will likely remain firmly ahead of the other four major academies.

In fact, this was deliberately done by the higher-ups of the Northern Cang Spiritual Academy and the powerful figures of the Great Thousand Palace. After killing the powerful figures of the Dragon Demon Palace, they did not plunder them, but left the opportunities to the geniuses in the academy.

The only exception is White Dragon Hill.

White Dragon Hill is located in the central area of ​​the Northern Cang Continent. All students of the Northern Cang Spiritual Academy avoid this area during their training in Taobao.

Because the academy had long ago issued a ban, designating this place as a restricted area. Anyone who trespasses into the restricted area will be severely punished by the academy, or even expelled from the academy.

When Chu Yang arrived here, he immediately sensed more than a dozen auras, the weakest of which were all at the Supreme Realm.

In the Northern Cang Continent, those at the Supreme Realm are already considered top-tier experts.

"Halt!"

An aged voice suddenly rang out, accompanied by the oppressive aura of a Supreme Realm expert.

But then, the aged voice became much more surprised, "Eh? You're not a disciple of the Northern Cang Spiritual Academy?"

Chu Yang raised an eyebrow and said loudly, "This junior, Chu Yang, has come for the White Dragon Spirit Treasure. I humbly request that you seniors grant me this favor!"

As he spoke, he raised his hand and threw out the Demon-Slaying Token. The token swelled in the wind, and the three large characters "Demon King Slayer" shone brightly, spreading an aura of killing intent.

The next moment, the aura of the Supreme Realm expert quickly subsided, and then a series of figures flashed over. Most of these people were over seventy years old, and each of them had an extraordinary demeanor.

However, at this moment, everyone looked at the Demon-Slaying Order with serious expressions, and then bowed to Chu Yang in unison.

"Welcome to the Demon King!"

Chu Yang retrieved the Demon-Slaying Order and waved his hand, saying, "Seniors, there's no need for such formalities. I should thank you for helping to seal off White Dragon Hill!"

The leading old man in black robes chuckled and said, "Your Majesty, you flatter me. Although my Northern Cang Spiritual Academy is only located in a remote corner, cultivating the younger generation for the Great Thousand Worlds, we have heard some things about the affairs beyond the realms."

"King Chu has been kind to all living beings in this world. We are honored to be able to do what we can for him."

Chu Yang's power of faith did not come for nothing; it signifies the reverence and admiration of countless beings in the Great Thousand Worlds.

The Demon Suppression Continent turned the tide, laying the foundation for the Great Thousand Realms to reclaim lost territory. In the heart of the outer realms, four Xuanmo Emperors were slain, and tens of thousands of Great Thousand Humans returned.

In less than two years, the number of evil race Heavenly Sovereigns who died at Chu Yang's hands reached nearly double digits. Each and every one of these was a genuine achievement!

Just then, a figure stepped through the air, as if shrinking the distance to an inch, and in just a few steps, he arrived in front of everyone from the area where the Northern Cang Spiritual Academy was located.

This was a gaunt old monk, draped in a blood-red robe. His aged face was solemn and dignified, his eyes shone with Buddhist light, yet his body was filled with a fierce aura.

Upon seeing this old monk, the expressions of the experts from the Northern Cang Spiritual Academy changed slightly, and they hurriedly bowed, showing even greater respect than when they faced Chu Yang.

Chu Yang's eyes narrowed as he met the old monk's gaze.

The old monk chuckled and said, "Young friend Chu, we've finally met!"

Chu Yang cupped his hands and said, "I didn't expect that Senior Demon Buddha would personally come to oversee such a trivial matter. I'm truly flattered!"

The Great Thousand Demons and Buddhas!

The strongest person in the world from the Great Thousand Palace!

A being on par with the Green-Robed Sword Saint and the Undying Lord, one of the three giants representing the pinnacle of the Great Thousand Realms!

Back in the Demon Suppression Continent, it was the Great Thousand Demon Buddha who personally led the Great Thousand Palace experts to flatten the Senluo Realm and reclaim the lost territory beyond the realm.

When Chu Yang was on the Demon Suppression Continent, the Great Thousand Demon Buddha extended an invitation to him, wanting to meet him.

But Chu Yang knew that the other party probably wanted to recruit him into the Great Thousand Palace and make him the person in charge, so he directly refused.

Therefore, although the two were both in the Demon-Slaying Fortress at that time, they never met.

"The affairs in the West are settled. I just happened to be passing by when the evil race from beyond the realm appeared on the Northern Cang Continent, so I stayed for a while..." The Great Thousand Demon Buddha smiled gently.

Chu Yang said politely, "In any case, I still have to thank you, senior."

The Great Thousand Demon Buddha thought for a moment, then asked, "This old monk also has a question that I would like to ask you to enlighten me, young friend."

Chu Yang's eyes flickered. "Senior wants to know why I value the White Dragon Supreme's spiritual treasure so much?"

The Great Thousand Demon Buddha nodded, and Chu Yang didn't hide anything, saying directly, "The path I cultivate is neither spiritual nor evil. If I want to break through to the Heavenly Supreme, I must take an extraordinary path."

"The White Dragon Supreme is closely related to a lower plane..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but having reached the level of the Great Thousand Demon Buddha, he naturally understood its profound meaning. A glint flashed in his eyes, and he chanted a Buddhist prayer:

"Amitabha... Extraordinary people walk extraordinary paths; there is hope for vanquishing demons throughout the vast world!"

"There is a supreme treasure of the evil race in the Dragon Demon Palace. I expect the evil race will not give up easily and will definitely take further action."

"Now that you've arrived, young friend, this old monk can leave with peace of mind..."

Chu Yang hesitated for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Senior, are you going to the Holy Abyss Continent?"

The Great Thousand Demon Buddha smiled meaningfully, "Young friend, rest assured, although I am called the Demon Buddha, I attain Buddhahood through a demonic heart, not through a Buddha-like state!"

The experts from the Northern Cang Spiritual Academy were completely baffled by the two's cryptic exchange.

Only Chu Yang and the Great Thousand Demon Buddha understood the matter of the White Dragon Spiritual Treasury. The latter realized that Chu Yang wanted to use the spirit of the plane to break through his realm.

Chu Yang had guessed that the Great Thousand Demon Buddha was going to the Holy Abyss Continent; he was probably doing it for Sun Wukong.

The paths cultivated by the Great Thousand Demon Buddha and Sun Wukong are quite similar, and the two can corroborate each other.

The final words of the Great Thousand Demon Buddha were to show that he was a Buddha, not a demon, and that he would not plot against Sun Wukong.

"Speaking of which, I must thank you, young friend, for bringing back the second Demon-Slaying King for my Great Thousand Palace..."

The Great Thousand Demon Buddha chuckled and said, "Otherwise, I fear I would not be able to move freely throughout the Great Thousand Realms as I do now."

He is the strongest person in the Great Thousand Palace, and also the de facto leader. In the past, he was the one who made decisions on many matters in the Great Thousand Palace.

But now that Qin Tian has taken the throne, the Great Thousand Demon Buddha has a successor.

Chu Yang understood that the Great Thousand Demon Buddha was telling him that he would stand behind Qin Tian.

In this way, Qin Tian, ​​as the Demon Slayer King, with the support of the Great Thousand Demon Buddha, will surely be able to quickly secure his position as the leader and rule the Great Thousand Palace.

After the Great Thousand Demon Buddha left, the powerful figures from the Northern Cang Spiritual Academy also took their leave, but they did not go far. Instead, they continued to seal off the area of ​​White Dragon Hill.

Based on the coordinates obtained from the previous intelligence, Chu Yang quickly located the White Dragon Spirit Treasure.

Even with all sorts of restrictions, a supreme spiritual treasure was useless in his eyes. With a wave of his hand, he broke through all the barriers and directly locked onto the remaining will of the White Dragon Supreme with his soul power.

With his remaining will awakened, the White Dragon Supreme was somewhat bewildered.

Although he used his last strength to leave behind a spiritual treasure and preserve a wisp of his will when he fell, he never expected that he would be awakened so quickly.

How long has it been?

Ten years may be a long time for ordinary people, but for some strong people, it is just a blink of an eye.

Especially in this Northern Cang Continent, the Supreme Realm is already the ceiling level of existence, and he is confident that he can keep his spiritual treasure from being discovered.

He originally planned to remain hidden for several hundred years, until things had changed and the world had transformed, and then let the spirit treasure reappear in the world to find a suitable successor.

But what's with the feeling of someone prying open the coffin lid the moment you close your eyes?

and also……

The young man who pried open his coffin lid is far too strong, isn't he?

How could someone like him possibly be interested in the mere inheritance of a minor supreme being?

"Um...this one..."

Somewhat bewildered, the remnant spirit of the white dragon looked at Chu Yang, unsure how to address him, and could only bite the bullet and say:

"May I ask what advice you may offer?"

As the master of the spiritual treasure that left behind its legacy, the White Dragon Supreme was on the verge of tears.

This is clearly their own spiritual treasure trove, yet they insist on treating this outsider with utmost courtesy—it's utterly outrageous!

What kind of situation is this?
