Having cultivated myself into an immortal, all I want to do is raise female disciples.

It was also the bloodthirsty demonic dragon that appeared in the secret realm.

“We did fight. In fact, about three years ago, on the day I discovered that it was no longer bound by the Demon-Binding Chains, I fought with it. It looked very strange, as if that chaotic madness had returned.”

“I can’t defeat him, I can’t even suppress him.” Xiao Hei said, slowly raising the right wing that was buried under the black water, showing the tip of it to Yun Ping, “You can take a look at the wound and see if there are any clues on it.”

Blood was oozing from the tips of the black dragon wings, and a few black droplets trembled on the deep wound, seemingly trying to heal the horrific injury.

However, the black liquid did not have any healing effect. Instead, the wound was gushing outwards like crazy, and the black liquid only served to prevent the wound from spreading further.

Yunping waved his hand, indicating that Xiaohei could put the dragon wings back into the water.

"How are you?" Xiao Hei asked cautiously, still very concerned about the condition of his wound.

Yunping pondered for a while, his tone somewhat uncertain, "It's hard to say. Your wound is indeed filled with that chaos, but it's not intense. As you know, if it were the chaos and madness of more than five hundred years ago, your wing would basically be dead, instead of being able to be blocked by the black water like it is now."

"Therefore, the Demon-Binding Lock successfully weakened the power of chaos."

“That’s right.” Yunping agreed with Xiaohei’s point of view, but then changed the subject, “But that’s not the problem. The problem is, how exactly did your brother Jue’an break free of the Demon-Binding Lock?”

Xiao Hei immediately saw through Yun Ping's thoughts: "You mean to say that an outsider helped him, right?"

"Hmm." Yunping nodded without hesitation, his gaze returning to the smooth cut of the chain. "I suspect it's the ultimate power."

"The ultimate?" Xiao Hei was surprised; this seemed to be beyond his imagination. "This doesn't make sense."

Yunping slowly raised his head, glanced at Xiao Hei, and shook his head. "Many things cannot be deduced according to common sense. You should know that in this world, the only people who can cut the Demon-Binding Lock are probably at the level of a half-immortal."

Indeed, when he created the Demon-Binding Lock, the materials he used were forged with extreme power. Unless it was a strike from a demigod level, it would be impossible to break the seal of the Demon-Binding Lock.

But at the semi-divine level—

"That doesn't necessarily mean it's the ultimate level, does it? The three great heavenly domains aren't without half-immortal level beings."

“I know, aren’t you one?” Yun Ping said calmly, “But even in the three great heavenly domains, there are only a handful of half-immortals. You’re very familiar with their auras, and the fact that they can silently evade your senses is the only possibility I can think of: two half-immortals attacking at the same time, or…”

Yunping stopped there, but Xiao Hei picked up where he left off, "Are you saying that it's possible someone brought Jizhi along and severed the Demon-Binding Lock?"

That's right.

"Who would be so idle? This chaos is not good for anyone."

"I don't know, which is why I find it troublesome and dare not draw any conclusions easily."

Just how troublesome this matter is—only Yunping and Xiaohei themselves probably know.

Things related to the extreme are generally not good, and Yunping understood this principle all too well.

However, he came here for more than just this matter.

"By the way, could you take a look at this girl's condition for me?"

He carefully put Lin Yuan down from his shoulder; the red-haired boy's body temperature was still alarmingly high.

"Huh? This little girl..."

In an instant, Xiao Hei noticed Lin Yuan's right eye. The double pupils were a physique that only existed in legends—and as one of the legends itself, it naturally recognized it.

The black dragon's eyes suddenly widened in horror.

"Where did you find this person with double pupils?" His tone sounded somewhat anxious.

Yunping, unaware of the reason for Xiao Hei's emotional turmoil, immediately replied, "She is my apprentice... I found her by chance."

"Found her? She's a person with double pupils, she shouldn't be here right now!"

"What do you mean by that?" Yunping frowned, realizing that things seemed to be taking a turn for the worse. "Tell me in detail."

Xiao Hei let out a deep breath, seemingly trying to calm its emotional turmoil.

After a moment, he continued.

"That was probably more than three years ago. I transformed into human form and went to the Northern Ice Palace. It was during that trip that I returned from the Northern Ice Palace and discovered that it was no longer bound by the Demon-Binding Lock."

"You went to the Northern Ice Palace? Did Yin Hanxue send you?"

"Yes, she said she needs my help with something, and it's about people with double pupils."

It paused, looking down at Lin Yuan, who was panting heavily.

A hint of heartache flashed in her eyes.

"To be precise, it's about how to graft double pupils."

32. Three days and three nights!

Its tiny body floated on the black water.

The black liquid did not stain the fiery red clothes black; instead, it surrounded Lin Yuan's delicate body, extending tiny tentacles that slowly climbed up her slender waist.

As this strange process unfolded, Yunping discovered that the meridians in Lin Yuan's body gradually lost their scalding temperature, and even their very existence began to slowly disappear. In contrast, her double pupils shone with a subtle brilliance.

The burning body temperature gradually subsided under the embrace of the black water.

Seeing that Lin Yuan had finally improved, Yun Ping breathed a sigh of relief and sat cross-legged, but he dared not take his eyes off Lin Yuan.

"Hey Xiao Hei, what exactly is this double pupil grafting?"

"It's a strange story. As you probably know, Yin Hanxuebing was the first person in history to have double pupils. Because she didn't understand human meridians, she gathered all her power into a single double pupil when she transformed into human form."

"Of course I know that," Yunping waved his hand. "Get to the point."

The Black Dragon King's voice suddenly changed from its original powerful tone to one of helplessness, "Alright... I went to the Northern Ice Palace more than three years ago because Yin Hanxue told me that she had to graft the double pupils that contained her power onto someone else in order to avoid some bad things from happening."

"Something bad?"

"Hmm." Xiao Hei nodded at the massive dragon head, shaking it and creating a swift gust of wind around Yun Ping. "That's what she told me, but she didn't go into the specifics."

What could make even Yin Hanxue Bing feel bad?

Almost instantly, Yunping thought of a being known as the Twenty-Second Ultimate.

The Seven Dream Tree.

It's still the same old saying—

Someone is hunting down Twenty-One Extreme.

This statement is still incredibly ridiculous today. Apart from Yun Ping himself, there are very few people in the three Heavenly Domains who can fight against the Ultimate and remain undefeated, let alone hunt them down.

But what if it really did exist?

What if it really exists, and someone is hunting down Yin Hanxuebing?

If that's the case, then Yin Hanxuebing's actions can be understood—she realized this and didn't want her power to be taken away by the person chasing the Twenty-One Ultimate. Therefore, before being caught, she wanted to transfer the double pupils containing her energy away, so that even if that person found her, they wouldn't be able to obtain her power.

Thinking about it this way, my mind suddenly became clear.

but--

"That's true, but why does your black water have a healing effect on my Yuan'er's body?"

"Ah, you mean this?" Xiao Hei said awkwardly, showing his two rows of big teeth. "There's nothing I can do about it. To graft double pupils, I need to find a very large pipe with a very strong load-bearing capacity. I initially planned to use my body as the pipe, but unfortunately, my physical strength is simply not enough to bear the power of the double pupils, so I had to take my Blackwater Pool with me."

Yunping understands this principle.

Although Xiao Hei's strength is also at the half-immortal level, its physical strength does not allow it to directly withstand the ultimate power. It must use the power of the black water, otherwise, if Yin Hanxuebing's double pupils were to press down, it would not die, but it would definitely be seriously injured.

"So, our Yuan'er is actually a child chosen to receive the power of double pupils?"

"That's right. I still remember this little girl. Three years ago, she was just an ordinary girl, without even spiritual roots to cultivate—but she had a very high compatibility with Yin Hanxuebing, which is why she chose this girl as the vessel for her double pupils."

“Because she had contact with the power of the Blackwater before, her agitation will gradually subside after arriving here…” Yun Ping analyzed calmly, but after a moment she looked up, “But why did she suddenly become like this? She was fine before.”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Hei paused for a moment, then turned his head away. "I think it might be because of the Northern Ice Palace."

"Something happened to Yin Hanxuebing?!"

"I'm not sure, but it's very likely." Xiao Hei looked in the direction of the Northern Ice Palace. If it weren't for the problem with its younger brother, it would definitely go to the Northern Ice Palace to take a look. "I suspect that there was something wrong with the original owner of the double pupils, which is why the double pupils themselves are fluctuating."

"Then why does Yuan'er say that she has strange reactions every time she sees me?"

Faced with Yunping's question, Xiaohei actually blushed.

It hesitated for a while, using that time to consider whether it should tell Yunping the truth.

In the end, the urge to complain prevailed over reason.

It spoke silently, revealing the truth incisively.

"Because you took advantage of Silver Cold Snow Ice back then..."

"Puff puff puff puff————"

Yunping spat out the wine he had just drunk.

He glanced resentfully at Xiao Hei beside him, who wisely turned its head away, but the gloomy words still came out of Yun Ping's mouth: "I'll say it again, I have absolutely nothing to do with that woman Yin Hanxuebing!"

"Yes, yes, yes, whatever you say is right." Xiao Hei tilted his head back at a 45-degree angle, let out a soft sigh, and said in a sarcastic tone, "I don't know either, who was it that ran into the North Ice Palace and stayed with Yin Hanxuebing for three days and three nights without coming out? I heard that afterwards she even wanted to support you as the Palace Master of the North Ice Palace."

"Don't be ridiculous, the Northern Ice Palace already had a Palace Master back then, okay?"

"Yes, of course it is! But Yin Hanxuebing wouldn't have it. She even claimed she wanted to kick the original palace master out. That made the young lady so angry she almost hanged herself. Look how much Yin Hanxuebing supports you, and you still say you have nothing to do with her?"

"We were just cultivating for those three days and three nights! I only absorbed some of her vital energy, we didn't do anything else."

"hehe."

Xiao Hei then let out a mocking laugh, "You spent three days and three nights in a small room with a beautiful woman, and you say you did nothing but cultivate?"

"Believe it or not, it's up to you."

Yunping rolled his eyes at Xiao Hei, then picked up the wine jug and poured it into his mouth.

He couldn't be bothered to argue with this lewd, neurotic dragon.

33. Look, these are the descendants of Old Chu.

After chatting with Xiao Hei for a while, the other four people also came out of the cave.

The most pragmatic one was indeed Ye Yuchan. I don't know if this girl had never seen money in her past life. She finally came to a treasure cave, but she didn't take anything. Instead, she hung big gold chains all over her body, and her wrists were covered with shiny jewelry.

—This was because Ye Yuchan's storage ring couldn't hold it all, so she wore it on her body.

Yunping estimated that this little girl had put no less than a million gold coins into her storage ring. She was a money-grubber who was obsessed with money and was not someone to mess with.
