In an extremely remote stretch of mountain forest in the Northern Wilderness, a young man in a golden robe was walking along.

By his side followed a graceful young woman in a white dress.

The woman wandered about carelessly, looking around in all directions, her eyes filled with excitement and tinged with a hint of wickedness.

That’s right, this young man was Xu Nian, who had jumped down from the Shenxiao Sword Sect’s Flying Palace, and the one following beside him was Lu Qinxin.

"Where are we going next?" Lu Qinxin asked with a wide grin.

"The Vast Sea, Shenxiao Sword Sect," Xu Nian replied calmly.

"Uh? What are you going back to Shenxiao Sword Sect for? Going there now is basically asking to die. Even if you have the Ancient Sword Pavilion Token, there’s no need to go now at all. You can totally wait until you’re stronger before you go." Lu Qinxin said in surprise.

"I’m going to Shenxiao Sword Sect not just for the Ancient Sword Pavilion, but to find someone," Xu Nian said.

"Find someone? A man or a woman? I bet it’s a woman, and someone very important to you, right?" Lu Qinxin probed.

"That’s right, she’s one of my wives," Xu Nian replied.

"Knew it, it’s your woman. One of your wives? Didn’t expect you to be quite the philanderer." Lu Qinxin showed an evil little smile.

Her exquisitely beautiful face leaned in close, those peach blossom eyes carrying a natural charm mixed with wickedness.

Xu Nian could even smell the faint body fragrance coming from Lu Qinxin.

"Ahem, I jumped because I was forced to. Why did you jump down after me?" Xu Nian hurriedly changed the subject.

"Because I can’t stand the faces of that bunch from Shenxiao Sword Sect," Lu Qinxin said.

Xu Nian was helpless; it seemed that in the short term, he had no way to shake off Lu Qinxin.

So Xu Nian continued forward, walking deeper into the mountain forest.

"You’re not planning to just walk all the way to Shenxiao Sword Sect like this, are you?" Lu Qinxin quickly followed.

"Of course not!" Xu Nian shook his head.

"But even if we fly, without a Flying Divine Artifact, at our flying speed we won’t get there in less than three hundred years!" Lu Qinxin said.

"I do have a Flying Divine Artifact. It’s just that I feel something strange about this forest, so I wanted to investigate," Xu Nian said.

He had long since begun refining a Flying Divine Artifact.

Back when he went to Beichen Divine King Hall, he had realized how important a Flying Divine Artifact was, so he immediately had his true body forge one.

Although his Flying Divine Artifact was only a Rune Divine Artifact at Daluo God Middle Stage Level, and its speed couldn’t match Shenxiao Sword Sect’s Flying Divine Palace, it wouldn’t fall too far behind their flying artifacts either.

By his estimate, with the help of the ascension artifact, they should be able to reach it in about forty years.

"Strange? How come I didn’t sense anything?" Lu Qinxin looked around in surprise, but didn’t discover anything at all.

Xu Nian didn’t speak, and continued walking toward the depths of the forest.

When they reached the deepest part of the mountain forest, a huge canyon appeared before their eyes.

And in the canyon, half-buried, was an enormous skeleton.

This skeleton was at least eight thousand zhang long, and its entire frame emitted a faint golden sheen.

However, the owner of this skeleton had obviously been dead for a very, very long time, and had basically been buried under vegetation and soil.

Seeing this, Xu Nian’s brows furrowed at once.

"I was wondering what it was. Turns out it’s just a corpse of an Ancient Demon. Ancient Demons may be rare in the Divine World, but they’re not exactly unique. Didn’t your previous Earth Attribute Avatar have a Divine Demon Body as well?" Lu Qinxin said indifferently.

Xu Nian didn’t respond.

Ancient Demons weren’t so rare in the Divine World as to be unheard of.

Strictly speaking, Ancient Demons were the original natives of the Divine World. It was only later that they were expelled by the Ancient Divine Clan, and thus ended up scattered throughout the Lower Realm.

Just now he had sensed something here calling to him, which was why he had chosen to come take a look.

Upon seeing this corpse, he couldn’t help feeling a little disappointed.

But this corpse did remind him of his Master, Bai Tianhan.

According to the information he’d obtained back then, Master Bai Tianhan should also have already ascended to the Divine World. As for where he was now in the Divine World, Xu Nian had no idea.

"If it were just an Ancient Demon’s remains, how could it trigger my sense of it? There must be some other secret hidden here." As this thought flashed through Xu Nian’s mind, he immediately felt that there was some other mystery within these remains.

He immediately swept toward the skeleton.

Seeing Xu Nian fly toward the bones, Lu Qinxin sighed in exasperation and followed.

Xu Nian came before the bones and stood quietly for a few minutes, then walked toward the skull.

In the end, Xu Nian stopped at the skeleton’s brow.

"I already probed with my Divine Sense. There’s nothing here. Let’s just go," Lu Qinxin said impatiently.

But Xu Nian no longer answered her. Instead, he summoned his Earth Attribute Avatar.

The moment the Earth Attribute Avatar appeared, the Ancient Demon skeleton lying on the ground began to tremble.

"Uh? It’s alive?"

Lu Qinxin instantly went on high alert.

Xu Nian too stared at this scene in surprise.

But it wasn’t that the Ancient Demon skeleton had revived. Rather, the bones began to radiate brilliance, and a stream of strange points of light emerged from them, gathering together in the end to form an incredibly mysterious mark.

"Ancient Demon King Seal?" Lu Qinxin exclaimed.

"Ancient Demon King Seal? So it’s actually this thing!" Xu Nian was also extremely shocked.

There were records of the Ancient Demon King Seal in his Divine Demon Inheritance Memory.

This was a mark that only the purest Ancient Demon Bloodline would possess, and with such a mark, one could awaken the Divine Demon King Clan Bloodline.

Obviously, the Divine Demon Essence Blood he’d obtained before was a drop of Ancient Demon King Clan Essence Blood, which was why his Divine Demon Avatar could sense the presence of the Ancient Demon King Seal at this moment.

"Buzz!"

The Ancient Demon King Seal instantly shot into Xu Nian’s brow, then completely merged into his entire body.

Xu Nian immediately felt his fleshly body undergo a tremendous strengthening, his strength rising sharply.

Not only that, with a single thought he could activate the Divine Demon King Seal and enter a berserk state.

In that state, his strength was ten times greater than usual.

"Excellent. With this Divine Demon King Seal, even without using any Divine Soul Secret Technique, I can still kill Daluo God Early Stage Experts below the Third Level Great Daluo Heavenly Dao." Xu Nian murmured to himself in delight.

Lu Qinxin, on the other hand, was utterly stunned.

Just what kind of Fortune did this guy have?

He could pick up treasures just by walking?

And the level of this treasure didn’t seem low at all.

"Found it at last."

Yet at this moment, a cold laugh rang out.

Then two figures appeared above the canyon.

Xu Nian and Lu Qinxin both looked up toward the source of the voices, a surge of hostility instantly flashing in their eyes.

The newcomers were two Daluo God Level Experts, one at Daluo God Early Stage, the other at Daluo God Middle Stage.

"Wind God Ghost Domain? They’re from the Wind God Ghost Domain!" Lu Qinxin immediately frowned.
