"What's the Crystal Palace?" Fang Chen asked.
When the sea demon mentioned the Crystal Palace, his face was full of respect.
It seemed that the Crystal Palace was a very important place for the sea demon race.
"The Crystal Palace is the sacred land of the sea demon race in our diving region. With the king there, it's impossible for you to get the Crystal Dragon Scale Stone," the sea demon said.
Hearing this, Fang Chen fell into deep thought.
The Crystal Dragon Scale Stone was in the sacred land of the sea demon race. It seemed that things were a little tricky.
If he gave up just like that, he was still a little unwilling.
If he didn't give up, it was too difficult to get the Crystal Dragon Scale Stone.
However, after weighing the pros and cons, Fang Chen chose to try.
After all, this was only his clone. Even if it died, his main body would still be there.
And if he succeeded, he would completely control the Coiling Moon Immortal Cave, and his strength would increase by leaps and bounds.
This was an opportunity, and also a challenge.
Fang Chen guessed that the Coiling Moon Warrior Immortal deliberately put the Crystal Dragon Scale Stone in the sacred land of the sea demon race to train the latecomers.
"Tell me about the Crystal Palace," Fang Chen said.
"The Crystal Palace is in the core of the diving region. It's very glorious, and all the elites of the diving region are gathered there.
The king is a Life and Death Monarch. With a command, all the sea demons in the diving region have to obey.
Under the king are the Nine Heavenly Sects, and every one of them has battle prowess at the peak of the Creation Realm.
In the Crystal Palace, the weakest are Creation Realm sea demons. There are very few Heavenly Body Realm sea demons.
Only those amazing monstrous geniuses will be recruited into the Crystal Palace, "the sea demon said slowly.
His life was in Fang Chen's hands, so he could only submit.
Hearing this, Fang Chen frowned slightly.
Then, a plan appeared in his mind.
Immediately, he exerted force with his hand and directly pressed down on the sea demon.
"Swear a martial oath to help me steal the Crystal Dragon Scale Stone. Otherwise, I'll destroy your body and soul," Fang Chen threatened.
"Impossible. Even I can't help you steal the Crystal Dragon Scale Stone." The sea demon refused directly.
The king's methods were too powerful. It was impossible to steal from the Crystal Palace.
Even if he agreed to help, he wouldn't succeed.
Once he failed, he would still die.
Crack
Fang Chen tightened his grip, causing the sea monster's bones to creak. A pained expression appeared on his face.
"If you don't agree, you'll die. If you agree, you'll still have a chance to live," Fang Chen said. "If you agree, I can give you a lot of resources."
With that, Fang Chen opened his interspatial ring and took out many tempting resources to attract the sea demons.
The Sea Demon's eyes flickered as he pondered.
After a long time, the sea demon agreed.
"Alright, I agree."
In fact, the Siren had only made this decision after weighing the pros and cons.
If he agreed with Fang Chen, there might be a chance for him to survive.
Firstly, he was very familiar with the Crystal Palace, which greatly increased his chances of stealing the Crystal Dragon Scale Stone.
Secondly, even if he was exposed, he could hide in the deep waters and escape from this area. He could still survive.
Moreover, the natural treasures that Fang Chen had given him were too tempting.
If he had these treasures, it wouldn't take long for his strength to advance by leaps and bounds.
The Sea Demon Clan also had their own conflicts and competitions.
The competition for resources was even crueler.
"Make a Martial Oath."
Fang Chen didn't believe the words of the Sea Demon Clan, so to be on the safe side, it was better to make a Martial Oath.
The Sea Demon had no choice but to make a Martial Oath.
"I've already made a Martial Oath. I hope you'll keep your promise," the Sea Demon said in a deep voice.
Fang Chen nodded and then released his grip.
After making a Martial Oath, even if he recovered his full strength, he couldn't attack Fang Chen.
In the following time, Fang Chen learned the details of the Crystal Palace from him.
The more he learned about the Crystal Palace, the more fearful he became.
Stealing the Crystal Dragon Scale Stone this time was extremely difficult. The slightest carelessness could lead to death.
"Is there any way to hide the human aura on me?" Fang Chen asked.
Hearing this, the Sea Demon took out a small bottle.
"This is a bottle I obtained by chance. There's some blood left behind by a senior of the Sea Demon Clan. If you absorb a drop, your body will be enveloped in the aura of the Sea Demon Clan. As long as you don't attack, you won't be discovered," the Sea Demon said.
Since he was on the same side, he naturally had to help Fang Chen.
This was related to his life.
Fang Chen took the small bottle and opened it. Immediately, a drop of blood fell into his palm and was absorbed by him.
Buzz!
Fang Chen was shocked to find that the human aura on his body had completely disappeared and was replaced by the aura of the Sea Demon Clan.
"What a strong aura of the Sea Demon Clan."
If he didn't know, Fang Chen would even think that he had become a Sea Demon.
"As for your appearance, you can change it as you wish," the Sea Demon said.
There were many Sea Demons who took human form, so this wouldn't attract attention.
Fang Chen nodded with a smile on his face.
Once he got the Crystal Dragon Scale Stone, he would immediately return to the Coiling Moon Immortal Cave.
Thinking about it carefully, his chances of winning were quite high.
"Okay, let's go," Fang Chen said.
Everything in the Coiling Moon Immortal Cave was under Fang Chen's control.
After leaving the Coiling Moon Immortal Cave with the Sea Demon, they went to the Crystal Palace.
"Although the Crystal Palace is in the diving area, it's still a forbidden area for you humans," the Sea Demon explained as they dived.
Fang Chen nodded, his expression grave.
He felt a little suffocated. If it weren't for the Sea Demon's help, he wouldn't have been able to dive so deep.
"How much longer?" Fang Chen asked.
"Six hours."
Along the way, Fang Chen was holding his breath.
He thought that he could reach the Crystal Palace smoothly, but who would have thought that there would be an accident midway.
A huge octopus blocked the Sea Demon's path.
"Old Mo, you coward, how dare you leave the Crystal Palace!"
An angry roar sounded. Immediately, Fang Chen discovered that there was an octopus below, blocking their path.
"Not good."
Seeing this, the Sea Demon cried out in her heart. She looked a little anxious.
"What's going on?" asked Fang Chen.
"I have an irreconcilable enmity with it."
Before the Sea Demon could even finish speaking, the octopus attacked.
The octopus was clearly stronger than the Sea Demon.
Adding on the fact that the Sea Demon was heavily injured, the octopus was able to kill it in one blow.
"Old thief Zhang, I left the Crystal Palace to handle some matters for the Nine Heavens Sect. You dare kill me?!"
The octopus was stunned.
Then he began to laugh wildly.
"You want to use the Nine Heavens Sect to suppress me? How laughable. Today, you're definitely going to die."
After saying that, the octopus continued his fierce and domineering attacks.
The Sea Demon was only able to resist for a moment before being killed by the octopus.
BOOM!
The Sea Demon's corpse exploded, turning into nothingness.
Fang Chen wanted to flee, but when he heard the octopus's words, he didn't.
"I have an enmity with it, so I killed it.
Since you're working for the Nine Heavens Sect, I naturally won't make things difficult for you. You can leave. "
After saying that, the octopus disappeared into the void.
Fang Chen was dumbfounded. How was that possible?
It seemed the octopus was treating him as a subordinate of the Nine Heavens Sect.
While he was secretly delighted, he was also a bit worried.
He had managed to bribe a helper with great difficulty, but now it was killed.
It seemed he could only rely on himself to steal the Crystal Dragon Scale Stone.
"Let's go to the Crystal Palace first."
Without the Sea Demon's help, Fang Chen immediately felt a powerful pressure sweeping over him.
Fortunately, the Sea Demon had given him a drop of blood. Otherwise, his body would have already been crushed by the pressure.
Activating his perfect sword body, he hid himself under the Sea Demon's aura.
After a day of stumbling, he finally saw the Crystal Palace.
"What a powerful pressure." Fang Chen couldn't help sighing.
If it weren't for that drop of blood, his soul would have already dissipated.
"Fortunately, I've arrived. Otherwise, even if I reached my limit, I wouldn't be able to continue." Fang Chen thought to himself.
Without the Sea Demon's help, being able to reach the Crystal Palace was already a miracle.
As Fang Chen looked at the Crystal Palace, he was quite shocked.
To build such a luxurious palace in the depths of the void, it was truly extravagant.
Just as Fang Chen was thinking …
CCC Pavilion C
All of a sudden, sea demons from afar walked in a single file and entered the Crystal Palace in groups of three to five.
"Mm-hm, how did these Heavenly Body Tier cultivators enter the Crystal Palace?" Fang Chen was a bit confused.
He listened carefully, and was instantly amused.
The Crystal Palace was holding an annual competition between prodigies.
All Sea Demons below the Creation Tier could participate.
If one obtained first place, the leader of the Sea Demons would unconditionally agree to a request.
