The Emperor God Wife Is Naughty
71. The Glass Pagoda Treasure

On the shore of a calm lake, two flying animals flapped their beautiful wings in the sky. The flapping of their huge wings created quite a violent wind when it landed on the lakefront ground.

The two large eagles have a body that is enough to accommodate 4 adult humans. The color was red like fire accompanied by a yellow beak and fiery eyes. The two would be used for the disciples to cross the lake towards the glass Pagoda.

The six disciples were already present, flabbergasted to see such a huge and dashing eagle. Even though they had seen many ferocious beasts during their time in the forest, they were still amazed by mid-level beasts like this one eagle.

An old man walked behind them towards the eagle. He received the eagle's salute and then looked at the disciples one by one. There is one girl who has not yet arrived.

"Where is he?" The Dean of the Academy asked about Xie Ran.

"Yesterday he went somewhere, soon to come." Pei Xi represented the answer. Despite not knowing where Xie Ran went, he was sure the girl would not miss this opportunity.

Right after thinking about it, a red figure flashed and landed between them filling the gap. "Xie Ran is here! Not late, is it?"

"Very timely. Good thing you're not left behind." Zhong Xiaorong.

Mei Liena who was next to Xie Ran frowned when she smelled the scent of blood from Xie Ran's body. "What are you doing out there?"

"Feed to eat." Xie Ran was not completely lying. He was really looking for a meal this morning which was the reason it was late. "Do I smell too much?"

"No. The smell of his blood was faint and barely smelled. As an apothecary, of course my smell should be sharp." Mei Liena nodded.

Even though Mei Liena said that, Xie Ran still felt that her bath was less clean. He sighed and muttered, "I have to take another bath."

"The opening of the glass pagoda will be carried out now. You can't enter again if the shield has been covered, it's better to prepare early" the Dean of the Academy said. "You will be given unlimited time in the glass Pagoda to practice. Inside there are some magic and high-level skills that can be learned as well as some rare artifacts. You cannot choose for yourself, they will choose you. So it all depends on each of you."

Xie Ran grew excited. If he could obtain heavenly magic again, he would become peerless and break through even faster. He was getting impatient to leave.

After the speech of the Dean of the Academy, the Dean immediately aimed his long staff at the sky. White rays sticking high revealed the form of a shield surrounding the lake.

The lake water reacts like the sea and has a sparkling water surface. The Dean of the Academy removed the wand that was hovering in the air directing his hand towards the shield. A bright, wave-like beam touched the shield and left the shield to slowly open like a huge door.

After a while, the Dean of the Academy retracted his hand. His wand was left floating in the air emitting rays while he turned to look at the disciples.

"Come with the fire eagle. Once you enter, I will close the glass pagoda until you decide to exit. Use a glass stone to contact me if anything happens or finish training." The Dean of the Academy gave a message, directly embraced by his seven students.

They immediately flocked towards the fire eagle. The fire eagle had a hot body, but the Dean of the Academy had given the fire eagle a magic tool so that the children did not suffer from the heat on the eagle's back.

When everyone was happily riding on the fire eagle, Xie Ran walked up to the Dean of the Academy and bowed.

"Dean, thank you for the support."

The Dean of the Academy chuckled. "Supporting genius disciples like you, it is indeed an obligation."

Xie Ran felt bad now. The true purpose was to glass pagoda to restore Qu Xuanzi's strength as well as release the Sea Dragon. What if both of these important things are missing? Will he not be a disobedient disciple?

But he should not doubt his decision. One day, he would repay the favor of the Dean of the Academy who had helped him. He will remember that service.

"Xie Ran away." Xie Ran bowed once more and immediately jumped on the back of the fire eagle.

The fire eagle flapped its huge wings causing the sand and the ground to fly. His body lifted in the air accompanied by hoarse neighing. At high speed, the fire eagle flew towards the shield that had opened.

Right after the two eagles entered, the shield was tightly sealed and the rays emanating from the staff disappeared.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

The fire eagle flew at high speed in the air. Its fiery wings were flapped over the water of a lake as large as the sea then landed on top of an island.

The seven people on the back of the eagle immediately descended. As soon as they stepped on the ground full of white sand, they felt a strong and pure energy scattered about. The thickness of the qi in the air was very rich and good for their training.

"It's very nice." Liu Chang was so happy.

The fire eagles would not leave until they returned, so the two animals would remain silent in front of the pagoda gate.

In front of them was a large ancient gate. The gate had intricate carvings and looked very heavy and thick.

They simultaneously approached the large gate that looked mysterious. As soon as it approached, the heavy gate let out a padlock sound that opened before it finally split open by itself.

Slowly the door opened revealing a vast courtyard filled with the aura of life. Many rare plants both medicinal and poison were glowing. In the center there is a large pagoda 9 floors and filled with crystals that reflect the blue sky.

They entered the front yard of the pagoda. The spirit was burning in their hearts especially Xie Ran whose gaze had been continuously directed at the pagoda filled with energy. He will finally complete the mission in Tianshang.

Xie Ran immediately went towards the pagoda. He didn't want to waste much time just looking around. He wants to get exactly what he wants.

Opening the double doors of the pagoda, a fresh scent of wood smelled on his nose. There are many shelves with books lined up like a large library. It's only the first floor, I don't know if there's anything on the next.

There are not only books in this place. Some rare weapons and artifacts were also neatly lined up accompanied by domineering powerful energies. Anyone would be excited just by looking at it.

Xie Ran walked over to a sparkling crystal red like blood. When he was about to touch the crystal, he felt a sting in his hand and had to pull his hand back.

He grunts. "You didn't vote for me. You think I'll choose you too?"

"You think crystal can hear?" Pei Xi was suddenly already next to him chuckling with Xie Ran's words.

Xie Ran smiled wryly. "I even talked to plants like crazy a while ago."

"Bad woman, you don't put me down!" The voice sounded from the red crystal that Xie Ran had just rejected. His voice was like an arrogant child.

Xie Ran looked at him stupefiedly. "Aren't you the one who rejected me? I just want to take a look, you've electrocuted me."

Pei Xi frowned seeing Xie Ran grumbling at the inanimate object. It was realized by Xie Ran until he looked at her with a face as thick as it was.

"You hear? This crystal can talk to me and say I'm a bad woman. Who is really evil?"

Pei Xi looked at Xie Ran in horror. "I didn't hear anything."

"..."

Am I hallucinating? Xie Ran looked at the crystal again furiously. Is that crystal what made him act like a madman? The crystal is revenge?

"I'm even surprised you heard me." The crystal did not accept Xie Ran accusing him carelessly.

Xie Ran grew even more speechless without being able to say anything. He laughed blankly for a while and hit his seemingly troubled head.

I don't know if it was lucky or a disaster. Before it could be dragon language, then plants, then snakes, now dead things! Although only certain objects or plants had powerful spirits, it was still shocking. He thought all the powerful artifacts could talk. It turned out that it only happened to one.

"I don't know who to blame." Xie Ran turned around. The conditions are very confusing. Wanting to offend the heavens, but it was the same as offending Qu Xuanzi whose condition was unknown. Wanting to blame the crystal was also too shallow.

At this moment, after the revelation of Xie Ran who could speak with spiritual tools, the objects were curious and started to make noise in his ears. Xie Ran wanted to run away now!

"You can really talk with spiritual tools?" Pei Xi asked making Xie Ran's frustration sidetracked.

"I .. I don't know. I think there was an accident. I'm going crazy!" Xie Ran felt like he had to go to a psychiatrist.

"Isn't that good? Very rarely can anyone speak with a spiritual instrument. Only people whose souls have ever interacted with heavenly spiritual tools directly can do so. But so far, there's nothing like it."

"Is that extraordinary? I thought it was a curse." Xie Ran really did not want to be the most outstanding. That would jeopardize him. What if someone hunts him again? He promised this time the mission would be his last. He does not want to add to the burden!

Pei Xi chuckled. "You'll know the benefits later."

Xie Ran snorted before going to look for items that were suitable for him. On the ground floor this is too noisy and distracting. He could only seek calmness for concentration upstairs.

Xie Ran climbed the stairs towards the second and third floors. There is nothing suitable for him so far. He only found a noisy spiritual tool. They said; Xie Ran was just as incompatible as them.

He has been going around for two days. But he did not find anything suitable and he was always rejected for the same reason. They're on the seventh floor. Even his friends already had at least one high-level technique book.

In the end, Xie Ran with a high sense of boredom as well as a darkened face directly broke through the ninth floor to try his luck.

The higher the pagoda floor, the more concentrated the qi felt at once the greater the pressure. Xie Ran's strength had been restrained ever since entering the pagoda, but Xie Ran did not feel anything thanks to his pure energy. He doesn't even know about the pressure. He only felt the resources here were extremely abundant and refreshing his meridians.

When he reached the ninth floor alone, Long Huo and Long Yun came out of the pendant. Their small bodies floated in the air and felt refreshed with a rich aura.

"Master, this place is perfect for practicing. With the Master's cultivation speed, the Master will quickly break through!" Long Yun was certainly excited and circled around every corner of this huge pagoda.

Xie Ran sighed. "Maybe I can only take all the qi here. But can't take his stuff."

"Master is too strong for them." Long Huo said as he sniffed looking for something interesting.

Xie Ran smiled wryly. "You're not good at entertaining."

Long Huo was really not just entertaining. The goods below felt that they could not accompany Xie Ran to fight because of certain pressure. Unfortunately Xie Ran did not know.

Xie Ran looked around again and sat in the middle of the room. He closed his eyes and tried to absorb as much qi as possible for his cultivation to increase. His pure energy has also been trying to improve, but the disability is too severe and he always fails. What really made him fail?

Xie Ran sighed and opened his eyes. Right at that moment, he saw several sharp objects hovering in the air as if attacking him. It was like an arrow, yet smaller and hidden. Only a red light could be seen leaving traces in the air while his form was invisible.

"Master watch out!"

Xie Ran used a jade hand then resisted the attack of the little arrow that was emitting a red radiance. Xie Ran's jade hand was extremely strong and could withstand the pointed tip of the small arrow along with its pressure until it finally fell to the floor like a falling chopstick.

Long Huo and Long Yun walked over and looked at the object. Xie Ran was also the same, he frowned when he felt the weakened energy from that thing.

"I can't believe I can see this phoenix feather." Long Huo was stunned.

"Phoenix feather? Is there a phoenix?"

"True, this is the phoenix feather that was obtained when the sacrifice of the fire phoenix. It is very hot and can burn anything in one blink of an eye. The phoenix flame had a high purity surpassing that of a typical fire. His power is no joke."

"Master, actually the phoenix feather has chosen you as its master. The feather of a phoenix is part of a phoenix, unable to speak and able to attack according to the lingering spirit instincts within it. But now that his spirit is depleted, it will depend on its user."

It took a while for Xie Ran to speak. "I think it's getting weak."

"The master felt was his slowly disappearing spirit. Basically, all spiritual tools here are spiritual tools of the spirit. As Lord God said, it is no match for Master."

"The phoenix feather lost its spirit, didn't it become useless?" Xie Ran did not know how his fate could be like this.

"Although his spirit had been lost, it was still a rare spiritual tool. The force of his attack was terrifying, I didn't even dare to accept his attack," Long Huo explained.

"Unexpectedly, the mortal world possessed a heavenly spiritual tool like this. The fire phoenix was the Fire God's pet and took thousands of years to develop. Master, you can't mess around!" exclaimed Long Yun.

Xie Ran nodded in understanding and picked up the phoenix feather. The phoenix feather was so hot that it emitted a red radiance and he had to use a jade hand so as not to blister.

"Because it chose me, it's mine." Xie Ran instantly stored it just like that within the spatial ring. He would research the strength of the phoenix feathers later.

"Since the master has phoenix feathers, then the master must have a high-level fire magic to control it," Long Huo said.

Xie Ran nodded and tried to look for the magic book. He used his mental strength to search for magic that matched phoenix feathers.

But as far as he was looking, there was no result.

"What is the treasure rank of this pagoda so low?" Xie Ran snorted in annoyance. Again like this.

Xie Ran looked to other places once again. But the result remains the same. Out of annoyance, he shook off his mental strength throughout the room forcibly looking for something suitable for him. He did not believe that anyone would escape his reach.

Xie Ran's white rays continued to spread at various angles and edges. There was nothing in action between the book and the stuff made Xie Ran feel free he used this way. Better to continue the mission.

As soon as Xie Ran retracted his strength, he felt his mental strength touch something sensitive causing his mental strength to surge uncontrollably. Immediately Xie Ran withdrew his strength quickly before being hit by a counterattack and was severely injured.

"Master's okay?"

The two dragons instantly flew to Xie Ran's side and tried to find something.

"Master, there's something in there!" Long Yun sensed something powerful and instantly pulled Xie Ran to where he came from.

Be in the corner and the top. Long Yun put away the pile of books and found an carved wall as well as an interesting rectangular line.

"Is this a riddle?" Long Huo tilted his head not understanding.

While Xie Ran just looked at it without saying anything. He felt the rectangular part where there is an indistinct carving and not too visible because of the disguised wall paint.

He let out mental strength slowly trying to break through. The white light followed the carving groove which formed a dragon-shaped carving that was difficult to determine.

Xie Ran frowned. He pressed the wall making the rectangular part submerged like a button.

The sound of an open engine was heard, or rather the door was open. The three turned to the origin of the voice where the bookcase next to him turned to reveal a secret room. The stairs appeared inside leading downwards without any illumination so there was no idea what was inside.

"It's like I'm in a mystery movie. No. .. More like to a horror movie." Xie Ran put on a complicated look. He did not expect his luck like this and did not know what would be good for the future.

"The energy inside is very strong." Long Huo narrowed his eyes.

"Master, don't go there! I feel something dangerous inside." Long Yun urged.

Xie Ran raised his eyebrows. Dangerous? Isn't it the same as 'interesting'? He smiled silently. "Follow me."

"Master—"

"My goal here is to find Qu Xuanzi's magic and the Sea Dragon. Maybe this is the way. Come on!" Xie Ran went straight inside without caring for the two dragons.

Inevitably, the two dragons resigned and entered the dark room. After the three entered, the tightly shut door was replaced by a closet full of magic books.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

Outside the pagoda, Ann Rou stood outside the shield with a cold and anxious face. He arrived late and was forced to stand outside because he could not enter.

"Are you worried about him?" The Dean of the Academy came to his side. He had seen Ann Rou earlier in the tournament and assumed Xie Ran had a good relationship with Ann Rou until Ann Rou had to protect her.

"He's my friend, and also someone I'm responsible for. Of course I should keep worrying and protect her."

"Did someone send you?"

"You think?"

The Dean of the Academy thought for a moment. If that person who sent Ann Rou was protecting Xie Ran, then that person should be much stronger than Ann Rou. Moreover, based on the temperament of this girl, it was impossible to work for an ordinary person.

"Can't you let me in?" Ann Rou was impatient. He felt a bad feeling.

"With your strength, it's not something that's difficult."

"There's something wrong. The runes you used were runes that came from my master's strength, I certainly couldn't destroy them."

"Master?" The Dean of the Academy was curious. Is this master the one who sent Ann Rou to protect Xie Ran?

Ann Rou smiled coldly and glanced at the dean next to her. "true."
