The cat demon defies the heavens and is the emperor’s only beloved disciple!

Xu Wan walked lightly down from the throne, her skirt swaying gently like a lotus swaying in the morning breeze, and every step she took revealed a majesty and elegance that should not be underestimated.

Yan Wu and Tan Yuan followed closely behind, their eyes flashing with determination and loyalty, as if no matter what difficulties and obstacles lay ahead, they would swear to guard Xu Wan until death.

The two monks kept a proper distance, their steps steady, their eyes scanning the surroundings vigilantly to ensure that no potential danger could approach.

The light in the cave gradually became dim, but their hearts became more determined, because they knew that as long as they followed Xu Wan, they would be able to find the legendary spiritual vein.

As we went deeper, the air in the cave began to become damp and cold, and it seemed as if we could smell an ancient and mysterious scent.

Xu Wan stopped and tilted her head slightly, as if listening to something. There was a gleam of wisdom in her eyes, as if she had seen through everything ahead.

Then, she took another step, leading everyone to continue moving into the depths of the unknown.

Xu Wan and others are exploring the world's rare treasures and unsolved mysteries.

As they traveled through the misty mountains, they suddenly heard a long and mysterious dragon roar coming from deep under the sea, which aroused their imagination.

"Tan Yuan, Yan Wu, did you hear that? It seems to be the roar of a dragon." Xu Wan stopped and a hint of curiosity and excitement flashed across his brows.

Tan Yuan nodded, his eyes deep: "Indeed, why don't we take this opportunity to find out?"

Yan Wu blinked and smiled: "Long Yin, it seems that the Dragon King is calling us."

The three of them held hands and traveled through the mountains, with the two monks following closely behind.

"Haha, it feels like I'm on a treasure hunt!" Xu Wan couldn't help laughing. Her laughter was clear and sweet, echoing among the mountains, as if even the air became cheerful.

Yan Wu also laughed. Her laughter was warm and powerful, as if it could dispel all the haze.

"Yes, we are searching for the most precious treasure—the wisdom and power of the Dragon King. Are you ready? We must accelerate!"

As they continued to go deeper, the light around them gradually became dimmer, and only the sound of the dragon's roar became clearer and clearer.

Suddenly, a huge cave entrance appeared in front of them. A dazzling light was faintly visible from the cave, making people dare not look directly at it.

As soon as they stepped into the cave, a powerful force swept over and enveloped them.

"Ah!" Xu Wan screamed and quickly covered her eyes with her sleeves. She felt her body being pulled by an invisible force and moving forward rapidly.

After a moment, the light dissipated, and Xu Wan and others opened their eyes and found themselves in a magnificent hall.

It is surrounded by crystal clear coral pillars, topped with sparkling gems, like stars in the night sky, illuminating the entire hall as bright as day.

"How... did we get back to the main hall?" Xu Wan looked around and asked in confusion.

Just as the two were puzzled, a majestic yet gentle voice came from the center of the hall: "I summoned you here."

Following the sound, I saw a man in a dragon robe and a golden crown slowly walking into the hall. His eyes were like torches, as if he could see through everything in the world.

He is the ruler of the Dragon Palace - the Dragon King.

"Greetings, Dragon King!" Xu Wan and Tan Yuan hurriedly saluted, their hearts filled with awe.

The Dragon King smiled slightly and waved his hand to signal the others to stand up. "No need to be so polite, everyone. Have you found the evil god?"

Xu Wan extended her hand, and a crystal ball appeared from thin air in her palm. She whispered, "We have defeated the evil god. This is a gift from him. It can break the spell that has engulfed the Dragon Queen and her children."

The Dragon King took the crystal ball and looked at it carefully.

There was a mysterious light flickering inside the ball, as if it contained endless power.

The Dragon King's eyes lit up. He felt the energy in the crystal ball. This energy could indeed lift the Dragon Queen's curse.

"Thank you very much, fairy. I will never forget your kindness." The Dragon King said gratefully.

Xu Wan smiled and shook her head. "This is what I should do. I hope the Dragon Queen and her children can recover soon."

The Dragon King turned and ordered the guards behind him, "Come here, take this crystal ball to the Dragon Queen."

The guard took the crystal ball respectfully and left quickly.

The Dragon King looked at Xu Wan again, "I wonder if the fairy has any other needs? I will do my best to satisfy them."

Xu Wan thought for a moment and said, "I want to ask the Dragon King for help in finding something."

The Dragon King agreed generously, "Fairy, please feel free to speak. As long as I can, I will definitely help you."

"I want to find the spiritual vein." A hint of anticipation flashed in Xu Wan's eyes.

The Dragon King frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said, "Spiritual veins are not ordinary things. They exist between heaven and earth, absorbing the essence of all things.

However, I can tell you that spiritual veins are actually the spiritual energy and spiritual objects you obtain invisibly."

Xu Wan seemed to understand what he said, but she asked, "Then how can we find the spiritual vein?"

The Dragon King smiled and said calmly, "This requires your own understanding and opportunity.

Sometimes, it is difficult to get something by deliberately pursuing it, so it is better to let nature take its course.

When your state of mind reaches a certain level, spiritual veins may appear before you."

Xu Wan nodded thoughtfully, she understood what the Dragon King meant.

"Thank you, Dragon King, for your guidance." Xu Wan clasped his fists in gratitude.

"You are so polite, Fairy. I will host a banquet to show my gratitude to you all." The Dragon King responded with a smile.

The Dragon Palace was brightly lit and filled with laughter. To celebrate the peace and prosperity of the East China Sea, the Dragon King had specially set up a grand banquet and invited all the gods and demons from all over the world.

At the front of the hall, five distinguished guests sat on five VIP chairs carved with dragons and phoenixes: Xu Wan, a fairy as gentle as water, dressed in a light gauze dress, like a lotus emerging from the water.

Tan Yuan, a graceful young man, holds a folding fan in his hand, and his brows reveal an extraordinary temperament.

Yan Wu is the ancient mythical beast Fire Qilin, dressed in fiery red armor and looking heroic.

As well as two monks with profound cultivation, they stood on the left and right, chatting and laughing with Xu Wan and Tan Yuan.

"Haha, it's great to follow the Emperor and Empress. We can also have the honor to participate in such a grand banquet in the Dragon Palace."

The monk on the left raised his glass and gestured in the direction of the Dragon King, his words full of emotion.

The monk on the right also nodded in agreement, his eyes sparkling with admiration for this feast.

The Dragon King sat in the main seat, smiling modestly, and responded to the praise: "I am honored that you have come to the Dragon Palace.

Please enjoy this feast to your heart's content. Let the delicacies and fine wines of the East China Sea wash away your fatigue from the journey."

As the Dragon King finished speaking, waiters filed out, holding trays filled with all kinds of delicacies and fine wines.

There is a crystal clear dragon scale fruit, which is said to increase one's cultivation by a thousand years if eaten.

The fragrant pearl fish has delicious meat that melts in your mouth.

There is also nectar brewed with thousand-year-old ice, which can clear the mind and eyes and make you forget worldly troubles.

Xu Wan took a sip of the fine wine, her eyes revealing a hint of intoxication: "This Dragon Palace wine is indeed well-deserved of its reputation."

Tan Yuan picked up a piece of pearl fish, put it in his mouth and savored it carefully, then nodded and praised: "The meat is delicate and delicious, and it is worthy of being a specialty of the Dragon Palace."

Yan Wu seemed even more generous. She drank and ate meat in big gulps, as if she wanted to catch all the delicacies in the Dragon Palace.

The two monks were not willing to be outdone and joined in tasting the delicious food.

As night fell, the Dragon Palace was brightly lit, and a grand banquet had just concluded.

The guests were either laughing or chatting in low voices, enjoying this rare moment of peace.

Among the many guests, Xu Wan, wearing a light gauze dress and with tiny pearls dotted in her hair, looked particularly elegant and refined.

She stood in a corner of the hall, her eyes occasionally glancing at the still bustling corners, but she seemed to be thinking about something in her heart.

Tan Yuan quietly approached Xu Wan and said with a soft smile, "Wan'er, although the banquet is over, your elegance lingers. The Dragon King seems to be particularly fond of you. I wonder why?"

Xu Wan smiled slightly, and a barely perceptible complex emotion flashed in her eyes.

"Tan Yuan, you and I are both cultivators, so why should we care about these mundane matters? However, I always feel that what happened tonight seems to foreshadow something."

As the two were talking, the Dragon King's voice suddenly rang out, interrupting their conversation. "Fairy, please stay."

Xu Wan turned around and saw the Dragon King holding a dazzling night pearl in his hand, slowly walking towards her.

The night pearl emits a soft and mysterious light, as if it contains endless mysteries and power.

"Fairy, this night-shining pearl is the most precious treasure of my Dragon Palace. It can guide those who are lost to find their true heart. I see that you have extraordinary cultivation, but it seems that you have unresolved concerns.

This bead may help you fulfill your wish and return to the Spiritual Spring of the Azure Sky Palace." The Dragon King's words revealed a hint of sincerity and expectation.

Upon hearing this, Xu Wan felt inexplicably moved and excited.

She knew very well what the spiritual spring in Biluo Palace meant to her; it was an eternal concern in her heart.

"Thank you for the generous gift, Dragon King. Xu Wan will definitely live up to your expectations." She respectfully took the night pearl, with a determined light flashing in her eyes.

The next morning, Xu Wan, accompanied by Tan Yuan, Yan Wu and two monks, embarked on the journey back to Lingquan in Biluo Palace.

They crossed the vast ocean and experienced countless hardships and dangers, but never gave up.

However, just as they were about to reach the Biluo Palace, a sudden powerful force blocked their way.

It was a siren that had been sealed for many years. She awakened after sensing the powerful aura of the Night Pearl and attempted to take it for herself.

"Hmph, a mere human cultivator dares to lay hands on the treasure of my Dragon Palace!" The voice of the siren resounded through the sky like thunder, shaking the surrounding sea water and making it roll endlessly.

Faced with this sudden change, Xu Wan and his companions did not retreat. They knew that only by uniting as one could they defeat the powerful enemy.

Tan Yuan, Yan Wu and two monks rushed forward first and started a fierce battle with the sea monster.

Although their cultivation was high, they seemed powerless in front of the almost infinite power of the sea monster.

At this moment, Xu Wan tightly grasped the night pearl and silently recited the magic formula in her heart.

Suddenly, the night pearl burst into dazzling light, illuminating the surrounding sea water like daylight.

Under the illumination of that light, the figure of the mermaid began to become blurred, as if bound by an invisible force.

"This... what kind of power is this?!" the siren exclaimed, her eyes full of disbelief.

Under the mysterious power of the Night Pearl, the Siren was finally sealed completely.

Xu Wan and others also took this opportunity to successfully cross the dangerous sea area and came to the shore of the spiritual spring in the Biluo Palace.

The spiritual spring in the Biluo Palace is crystal clear, like a giant mirror, reflecting the stars in the sky.

Xu Wan stood by the spring, feeling the familiar yet unfamiliar breath, with indescribable excitement and emotion surging in her heart.

"Master... I'm back." She whispered to herself, tears glistening in her eyes.
