After hearing the sand ant's explanation, Lu Chan and the other two were all taken aback.

Xiao Hanye guessed, "With such creatures constantly searching for weapon refiners, it's no wonder that the last batch of weapon refiners didn't come out alive. We've saved ourselves the trouble of searching for them."

Lu Chan pondered for a moment, then a thought struck him: "You just said that she mentioned some other 'adult'? She said she was one of the three guardian spirit artifacts? In other words, she's not the only one who claims to be a guardian spirit artifact of the Dragon Palace, is she?"

After realizing what had happened, the expressions on the faces of the Sand Ants and the others changed drastically.

If even a single Mad Crowned Whale is this terrifying, then if an even stronger being were to appear, this trip to the Dragon Palace would likely be fraught with peril!

The reason why the Mad Crown Whale ran away in such a hurry is probably because it went back to get reinforcements.

Sand Ant spoke up and asked, "Princess Zijing, do you have any good ideas? With your strength, you should be able to defeat an existence of that level, right?"

"Do not……"

Lu Chan narrowed his pale purple eyes and shook his head: "Of course I'm confident I can defeat her, but that's on the condition that she's willing to fight me."

The Mad Crowned Sky Whale never summoned its true form, yet it caused such astonishing destruction.

Even the debut skill, Snow Knight's debut slash, could only cause her minor injuries. So it seems that the ultimate Dream Charge is about the same.

Unless you simultaneously activate the 30-second Dream Charge and the Entry Skill: Snow Knight...

Otherwise, it would be very difficult to completely defeat the Mad Crown Whale.

After pondering for a moment, Lu Chan instructed, "Xiao Hanye, Liu Xianming, the plan has changed. We must enter seclusion as soon as possible to become super-level weapon refiners."

"Otherwise, if something strange comes knocking again, it might not be as easy to deal with as it is now."

"Yes," they both nodded at the same time.

Within the Dragon Palace, beings emerged who claimed to be guardians of the magical artifacts.

Regardless of whether they were actually guarding the magical artifact, the "master" mentioned by the Mad Crown Whale had already piqued Lu Chan's great interest.

The mature and elegant spirit artifact with long, wavy golden hair, Sand Ant, solemnly said, "Princess Zijing, since you saved my life, I am willing to become your guardian spirit artifact. Until you become a super-level weapon refiner, I will help you guard this area."

"besides……"

"After you become a Super-Rank Refiner, how about considering forming a contract with your sister?" Seeing Lu Chan's speechless expression, Sand Ant waved her hand and chuckled, "Alright, alright, I was just joking~~~"

After saying this, she felt a little bitter.

Someone like Princess Zijing, after becoming a super-level weapon refiner, probably looks down on herself to some extent.

"..."

After rescuing the Sand Ants, Lu Chan and his companions quickly found a new place for seclusion.

Inside a deep-sea palace, they concealed their presence and entered the deepest part of the palace.

The spiritual energy within the Dragon Palace is so abundant that it is difficult to sense the spiritual energy of others. As long as they stay in the palace's shelter, even if the Mad Crowned Heavenly Whale comes again, it may not be able to detect their hiding place.

But there is one more thing to do before you begin your practice.

Lu Chan took out two small silver steel sparrows from the spiritual space of her uniform.

"twitter!!!"

The two wind-calling birds immediately started chirping and flew around Lu Chan a few times.

One of them was found in Beilan City when Lu Chan was reborn.

Another one was bought from a shop in Youlan City during the Holy Land Grand Tournament.

Xiao Hanye seemed to have seen something very novel, and said in surprise, "Lu Chan, you also like to collect Wind-Calling Sparrows? I never knew you had such a peculiar hobby."

"What's wrong? Can't I like the Windcaller Sparrow?"

Lu Chan stroked the Wind-Calling Sparrow and asked softly, "She's a young woman in her early twenties, you don't think I'm some kind of cruel person, do you?"

Xiao Hanye put his hands behind his back and said innocently, "I didn't say anything."

In any case, silence speaks louder than words; those who understand, understand.

Lu Chan lavishly took out two high-grade spirit embryos and fed them to the low-grade Wind-Calling Sparrow, commanding, "There should be many of your kind in this place. Bring them back for me, and I will feed you delicious food again."

"twitter!!!"

The two wind-calling birds quickly understood Lu Chan's words. They nuzzled affectionately against Lu Chan's chest for a while before flapping their wings and flying away.

The Wind-Calling Sparrow was originally a specialty of Jade God Continent.

The fierce winds that swept up when the South Heavenly Gate descended also brought species that did not belong to this place to the Northern Sacred Continent.

Lu Chan also planned to collect Wind-Calling Sparrows during his trip to the Dragon Palace.

Liu Xianming also asked, "That's strange. I heard that the Wind-Calling Sparrow is a very annoying beast-type spirit weapon, usually noisy and disruptive. How did you manage to raise them so well?"

"That's prejudice!!"

One month later:

Dragon Palace Spirit Forbidden Zone, Core Area:

Two figures rushed back from outside at the same time; besides the Mad Crown Sky Whale, there was also an elegant woman with long, light pink hair.

The woman had a pink spirit embryo etched on her forehead, making her look like a noble lady from a scholarly family.

Strangely...

Her slender hands, left and right, were holding the collars of two weapon refiners respectively.

One of them is Huang Fei, the Star Maiden of the Divine Continent Star Guardian Sect.

There is another one, who is the sixth seat of the March Peach Sword Pavilion.

The sixth seatman looked ashen-faced. He had just entered the Dragon Palace when he was taken prisoner by the enemy, and his fate was uncertain.

This is so embarrassing!!

Consort Huang was shocked.

As a fellow being of the Light type, she didn't even have time to fully unleash her power before being defeated by this magical weapon at an indescribable speed and taken back to its lair.

The magical artifacts within the Dragon Palace possess astonishing power that I have never heard of before!

After the two magical artifacts met.

The pink-haired girl, carrying her spoils, said with slight surprise, "Oh dear, Mad Crown Whale, what happened to you? It seems your expedition didn't go very smoothly?"

The gloomy-faced Mad Crown Whale did not answer her question.

Once the palace gates opened, she was the first to go inside.

At that moment, upon seeing the scene inside the palace, Consort Huang and the Sixth Seat's pupils widened instantly.

The interior of the incomparably luxurious Crystal Palace.

On the throne in the palace sat a magnificent and beautiful spirit with long, snow-blue hair, crystal dragon scales covering her entire body, and dragon horns on her head.

Beside this magical artifact stood a young girl with long white hair, the ends of which were dyed with blue patterns. She was filled with an ethereal, otherworldly aura.

Four!?

Four incredibly powerful spiritual artifacts were born within the Dragon Palace Spirit Forbidden Zone!

No, that's not right...

The crystal dragon maiden on the throne possessed a noble demeanor that far surpassed the realm of a top-grade spiritual artifact.

Even more so, it subtly surpasses the emperor!

Upon seeing the disheveled and somewhat tattered Mad Crowned Whale, the several magical artifacts were slightly taken aback.

The Crystal Dragon Girl glanced at the pink-haired girl and said indifferently, "You go first."

"Your Highness, I captured two weapon refiners at a certain teleportation portal. One is a wind-type refiner, and the other is a lightning-type refiner. This child is quite strong, so I brought her back."

"I learned a lot from them. Northern Sacred State is a very small state. Now that the Northern Dragon Palace is isolated, this cultivation spot was hard-won."

Consort Huang and the sixth seat of the Peach Sword Pavilion in March were of one mind and together concealed the true purpose of the Nine Holy Lands.

"So, sir, are you interested in them?"

"Um……"

The Crystal Dragon Girl glanced at the sixth seat and said softly, "She is weak."

Then, she glanced at Huang Fei and said, "This child is not bad, but it's a pity he's a Flash type. I can't possibly push him to the limit of Flash type mutation."

"You should stay here and cultivate in peace. I won't let you go back for now."

Upon hearing this, Consort Huang and the Sixth Seat breathed a sigh of relief.

They didn't originally intend to kill themselves...

Soon, the Crystal Dragon Girl looked at the Mad Crowned Whale again, without saying a word.

Mad Crowned Whale was terrified and hurriedly explained, "My lord, I've encountered a very powerful weapon refiner!! I'm no match for her at all!"

"I was afraid she would pose a threat to you, so I thought I'd come back and report to you first."

"nonsense!"

The spirit weapon guarding the Crystal Dragon Girl said coldly, "Mad Crowned Heavenly Whale, are you implying that the weapon refiner is stronger than you, sir? Do you even know what you're saying? If you start spouting nonsense and spreading rumors because of your incompetence after your defeat, I won't let you off easily!"

"Hmph, you'll find out when you meet her yourself!"

Upon hearing this, the Crystal Dragon Girl revealed an expression of great interest and said softly, "In that case, why don't you tell me what makes that weapon refiner so strong?"

After that, Kuang Guantianjing recounted his experiences of meeting Sha Yi and others, as well as Liu Xianming and Lu Chan, from beginning to end.

It's Princess Zijing...

It's Lu Chan!!!

Upon hearing the words "Princess Zijing" uttered by the Mad Crown Heavenly Whale, Consort Huang and the Sixth Seat were both taken aback.

Huang Fei felt an indescribable emotion welling up inside her. How could this be... She had witnessed the terrifying power of this guardian artifact.

but……

Another guardian artifact, the Mad Crown Heavenly Whale, was actually suppressed by Princess Zijing?

Her strength seems to be increasingly lagging behind theirs.

Seeing their expressions, Kuang Guantianjing suddenly became agitated. She stepped forward, grabbed Huang Fei by the collar, and demanded furiously, "You must know that person, right? Tell me, who exactly is she?!"

"Snapped!"

The pink-haired girl next to her immediately knocked her arm away.

The pink-haired spirit said somewhat irritably, "What are you going to do to my spoils? I brought them all back, please don't be so rude!"

Don't make things difficult for children.

The pink-haired spirit continued, "The same goes for you. If you know anything about Princess Zijing, please speak up as soon as possible."

The sixth seatmate spoke up: "Deer..."

Before the sixth seat could speak, Consort Huang spoke first: "Princess Zijing, she is indeed the strongest weapon refiner of our generation; however, the ability that the guardian of the spiritual weapon mentioned does not quite match our understanding of her. It must be an ability that Princess Zijing recently acquired."

"I see……"

"Is her name Princess Zijing? What type of weapon refiner is she?"

"Wind Series"

Hear this answer.

The Crystal Dragon Maiden clasped her hands in contemplation for a moment, then smiled faintly and said, "I'm slightly interested in that child. Mad Crowned Sky Whale, Cloud Chaser and Moon Chaser, why don't you two go to the first level together and see if you can bring that child back for me to see?"

Chasing the moon on clouds...

Is this shimmering magical artifact that pulled me back called Cloud Chaser and Moon Chaser?

Just from her name, you can sense her extraordinary and astonishing speed...

Lu Chan, you'd better watch out this time.
