Chapter 97 Night Raid on the Sacred Land of Yaochi

After Luo Heng got his phone repaired by Wei Yi, he immediately took the domain gate of Yao Guang Holy Land and headed to the location closest to Yao Chi Holy Land.

Upon arrival, he paid a visit directly as the Holy Son of Yao Guang.

Given his current status, Yaochi naturally dared not neglect him. Although it was already night, the reception was still quite high-level, but—

Looking at the grandly decorated reception area with hardly any people in front of him, Luo Heng scratched his head in bewilderment.

He looked at the Holy Maiden of Yaochi approaching slowly and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? Did I come at the wrong time? Is there some kind of event going on at Yaochi? Why are you the only one who came to pick me up?"

Upon hearing this, the Holy Maiden of Yaochi rolled her eyes at him, said nothing, but subconsciously tightened her long dress.

Luo Heng was stunned for a moment, then realized what he meant and his face turned red.

"I told you I don't have the Source Heaven Divine Eye! And why did you come to pick me up alone? Is it because—"

He was speaking when he suddenly realized something. He looked the Holy Maiden of Yaochi up and down and exclaimed in surprise, "This is the precious robe that can block the gaze of the divine eye, especially the one specifically designed to prevent the Origin Heaven Divine Eye from seeing through?"

The polite smile on the face of the Holy Maiden of Yaochi completely crumbled, and her voice turned cold: "Didn't you say you didn't have the Origin Heaven Divine Eye? Then how do you know that this robe I'm wearing can block the Origin Heaven Divine Eye?"

Luo Heng's expression stiffened, and he said dryly, "Well—no one else dares to come, but you dare to come, which means you must have a way to deal with the Source Heaven Divine Eye."

"Conan said that if you eliminate all the impossibilities, the remaining one is the truth. So what you're wearing must be the treasure robe that can block the Eye of the Source God. The truth is what I deduced."

As he spoke, his voice grew softer and softer, and he could barely continue making up stories.

Meeting the chilling gaze of the Holy Maiden of Yaochi, he could only obediently lower his head, indicating that he would not look at her.

The rest of the journey was uneventful.

Occasionally, female disciples passing by would see Luo Heng from afar, scream, and hide, as if they had seen some kind of ferocious beast or a pervert.

Luo Heng could only manage a forced smile.

It wasn't until the two entered a magnificently decorated hall that Luo Heng saw the second living person.

The Queen Mother of the West sat high on the throne, a smile on her face as she watched the two enter side by side. She spoke gently, "May I ask what brings the newly appointed Holy Son of Yao Guang here?"

Luo Heng looked up and saw that the Queen of Yaochi was dignified and beautiful, with a red mark between her brows, her eyes like water, and an aura that made her approachable. However—

The style and material of her dress were clearly of the same type as the one worn by the Holy Maiden of Yaochi.

Luo Heng suddenly smiled with relief.

He bowed respectfully and said, "I have come here to make some deals with the Yaochi Holy Land."

The Queen Mother of the West's eyes lit up slightly.

Previously, Luo Heng had exchanged the "Soldier" secret from the Nine Secrets with Yaochi, and she was quite looking forward to what he was going to trade next.

"Oh? I wonder what the Holy Son wishes to exchange?"

Luo Heng coughed twice and said, "First of all, I know that the previous Yuan Tian Master left a strange stone in Yaochi and left a message saying that if the ancient clan came to ask for it in the future, he would give it to them."

"I want this stone. If any ancient race comes to take it in the future, just say that the Yao Guang Holy Land took it, and the Yao Guang Holy Land will bear all the consequences."

"I wonder if Yaochi is willing to part with it? And what price would she require?"

When the Holy Maiden of Yaochi and the Queen Mother of the West heard that he had come to trade stones, they initially thought he was after the Holy Spirit Stone King, and they were a little nervous.

Once they understood that it was just a troublesome stone that was related to the Primordial Clan, they secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

After a moment's thought, the Queen Mother of the West nodded in agreement.

After all, that stone originally belonged to the Primordial Clan, and keeping it would only cause trouble. It was perfect that Yao Guang was willing to take it over.

Luo Heng noticed the subtle changes in their expressions and knew perfectly well that he really wanted that Holy Spirit Stone King. He felt that if he could feed it to Da Luo Tian, ​​Da Luo Tian might be able to directly reach the Saint King level.

But it's only "maybe".

The reason why the Great Luo Heaven is lacking is not primordial energy and divine power, but the rules of heaven and earth, and all of them.

While a piece of Holy Spirit Stone King that was not yet fully formed was precious to it, it was not something it absolutely needed.

As for vitality? That stuff is the least valuable thing to him.

After all, the most efficient machine in the world for producing beef is the cow.

Similarly, the most efficient machine for producing vital energy is the world itself.

Therefore, Luo Heng's Great Luo Heaven is not lacking in vital energy at all, but rather in rules.

This is why he didn't convert the blood of the Primordial Emperor and the blood of the Tribulation-Crossing Celestial Venerable into Dao, because it was meaningless.

This only increases one's vital energy slightly, offering negligible supplementation to the rules of heaven and earth. Unless one can obtain a large quantity of imperial blood, a quantitative change can lead to a qualitative transformation.

"Ten thousand catties of Yuan." The Queen Mother of the West quoted a price, which was basically half-price and half-gift.

Luo Heng was overjoyed and agreed without hesitation.

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi went to retrieve the stone materials, and the two exchanged the source and the goods.

Once Luo Hengzhen had the stone in his hand, he finally breathed a long sigh of relief—the main objective of this trip had finally been achieved.

He paused, then spoke again, looking a little embarrassed: "Um—I also want to make a deal with Yaochi."

The Queen Mother of the West smiled and said, "Oh? What else would the Holy Son like to exchange?"

Luo Heng coughed first, giving a heads-up: "Well, don't get angry when I say this—I want to trade with Yaochi for—the Dao Palace Scroll of the Western Emperor Scripture."

As soon as the words were spoken, the expressions of the Queen Mother of the West and the Holy Maiden of Yaochi on the side of her both froze.

Luo Heng quickly waved his hand and explained, "Please don't misunderstand! I didn't mean to steal your Yaochi Imperial Scripture. To be honest, I've already learned the Western Emperor Scripture Palace Scroll."

He began to spout nonsense with a straight face: "This is what happened. I was wandering around the Northern Region when I passed by a Purple Mountain. Suddenly, a black dog jumped out of the bushes and insisted that I had a connection with the Great Emperor Wushi. Then it dragged me to the old site of Yaochi."

I stumbled upon some fortuitous opportunities there, including the Daoist Palace Scroll of the *Xihuang Jing*, which was initially created by the Western Emperor.

"I really didn't want to learn it, but that black dog forced me to learn it. If I didn't, it would bite me. It bit me terribly. In the end, I couldn't resist, so I reluctantly learned it."

"I came here this time for two reasons, firstly to return this scripture."

After all, the Xihuang Jingdao Palace Scroll from its early stages records the complete thought process of the Xihuang in opening up this path from scratch, which should be of considerable reference value to the Yaochi Holy Land.

Secondly, I want to obtain a complete copy of the Western Emperor's Scripture and Daoist Palace Scroll to study.

After hearing these words, the expressions of the Queen Mother of the West and the Holy Maiden of Yaochi were somewhat subtle.

A moment later, the Queen Mother of the West said she had something to attend to and would be leaving for a while, leaving the Holy Maiden of Yaochi to entertain the guests.

Only Luo Heng and the Holy Maiden of Yaochi remained in the hall.
