"What about that person? Will that person come here straight away?" The female spirit asked Wu Gui, who was smiling to himself after he contacted Ling Yun, and told him about the ancient artifact.

"Why are you so impatient?" The female spirit grumbled at his question, making Wu Gui shake his head at her behavior. "You've been waiting in this place for more than a million years, so you should be more patient in waiting a few minutes. Anyway, he should already be on his way here, and he will arrive soon. However, I warn you to watch your attitude, or you will suffer losses if you dare attack him like he attacked me before, and he might kill you if you do that."

"Haha." The female spirit laughed at Wu Gui's last sentence. "I am a spirit who has lived for more than a million years, and I was born from that ancient artifact, so he will never be able to kill me as long as that artifact still exists."

Wu Gui certainly knew about that, but he believed that Ling Yun would be able to destroy the ancient artifact, and the female spirit would die if he really did that. "Anyway, what's your name?"

"My old master gave me the name Lu Yanjing, which means green eyes, because he really likes my eyes."

"Pft! Hahaha" After hearing that, Ya Xixian suddenly burst out laughing, especially since she found it strange that someone would give her a name because of her eyes.

The old beast and Wu Gui also felt that it was funny, but the three of them admitted that Lu Yanjing's green eyes were indeed as beautiful as emeralds.

"Stop laughing at me!" Lu Yanjing shouted as she released her aura. "Otherwise, I will beat you up and crush your turtle shell!"

Hearing her threat, Ya Xixian shivered in fear and covered her mouth with both hands. 'Tch! She's already so old, but she's just as short-tempered as the children of our races!'

"Humph!" Lu Yanjing snorted after seeing Ya Xixian's frightened expression, but she released her aura even more along with her killing intent, especially after she sensed something terrible from the surface, making the old beast swim backwards to get away from her. "What do you mean by this? Why did you invite such a vile person here?"

Instead, Wu Gui shook his head at Lu Yanjing. "That person is my master, and his aura is indeed very scary, but he doesn't have any evil intentions. That's why you should retract your killing intent, or else he will consider you as his enemy."

"Is that person really your master?"

"Yes." Wu Gui then reminded Ya Xixian. "I told you before that my race sent me to look for someone to help us fight our enemies, right? The person who was on the surface was the person we were looking for, and he was our lord."

Ya Xixian nodded in understanding, but she felt strange about it, especially since she knew mythical beasts were supreme creatures.

Lu Yanjing then asked Wu Gui in a high voice, as her eyes focused towards the surface of the ocean. "Hey! Who exactly is that person? Why does a mythical beast like you recognize another creature as your lord?"

"You will meet him soon, and you will understand my reason." After he said that, an unusual phenomenon occurred around them, shocking everyone except for Wu Gui.

'What the hell is this?' The water around them split in two, causing the old beast in the distance to mutter in shock, and his body to visibly tremble as he felt the powerful aura pressing down from above. 'Who actually owns this aura? How can he cut the seawater to this depth? Moreover, that person's aura is more terrifying than that of Lord Black Tortoise, and I smell a strong smell of blood from that person.'

Ya Xixian also looked amazed at the phenomenon, especially since her father and leader were unable to perform such a feat, but she couldn't feel the pressure of Ling Yun's aura because Wu Gui was protecting her.

"Hmm?" After seeing that, Lu Yanjing narrowed her eyes, but she also felt a familiar aura. "Hey, why do I feel the aura of two members of the spirit race by his side?"

"Would you believe me if I said that they were his wives?" Lu Yanjing frowned at Wu Gui, who shrugged at her. "I didn't lie to you; they are my lord's wives, so you should already understand why I acknowledged him, right?"

"Yeah." Lu Yanjing replied with an understanding nod, especially since it was not easy for anyone to establish a relationship with the spirit race, let alone take two of their members to be his wife.

Soon, Ling Yun and the two female spirits arrived before them, but he was also carrying Long Qiu and Zhang Xingcai in his arms. Wu Gui had previously informed him that the ancient artifact likely belonged to the earth element, but he already possessed a peerless artifact, so he no longer needed it.

That's why Ling Yun decided to bring Long Qiu and Zhang Xingcai, especially since they were earth element possessors who still didn't have any truly good weapons, so he wanted them to try to get the ancient artifact.

Ya Xixian, who was casually sitting on Wu Gui's shell, looked at Ling Yun with a confused look, especially since his cultivation was still in the mortal realms, but his aura was too strong that it made her bloodline tremble, and she felt that her bloodline was forcing her to submit to him. Nevertheless, she felt relieved as soon as he suppressed his aura, causing her to sigh in relief. 'Despite his low cultivation, he is truly terrifying; no wonder a mythical beast like him is willing to acknowledge him as his lord.'

"Oh?" Both spirit women were shocked after she recognized Lu Yanjing's identity, and Ling Xi then said. "A million-year-old spirit weapon, huh? I didn't expect that there was an ancient artifact with a spirit weapon hidden in this place, and I couldn't even detect your presence."

"I'm the same as you, Big Sis." Zhou Yu then pointed at the yellow dome. "Apparently, the dome is hiding their presence, so we can't sense them. Fortunately, Wu Gui's affinity with the water element is extremely high, so he can still sense their presence from their aura scattered in the sea water."

Lu Yanjing stared at Ling Xi and Zhou in a daze, not even blinking, and she certainly realized that they were spirits like her.

*Snap*

Ling Xi snapped her fingers after she moved in front of Lu Yanjing. "Hey! Come back to your senses."

"Huaa!" Lu Yanjing immediately hugged Ling Xi and cried as hard as he could after she came back to her senses. After all, he had been alone in the sea bed for more than a million years, and he had never met another fellow, except for the beasts who lived in the sea bed. "Huaa! I thought I would stay here forever, but I finally met another spirit again after so long."

With a soft sigh, Ling Xi hugged Lu Yanjing and rubbed her back, immediately delving into her memories to uncover the reason for her abandonment on the sea bed. Zhou Yu also read her memories directly, and their discoveries were truly surprising.

The artifact is much older than previously thought, and its name is the Earth Vein Needle, which has extraordinary effects for cultivators who possess the earth element. It actually belongs to a cultivator of the supreme realm, which he discovered by accident, and Lu Yanjing chose him as his master. Unfortunately, his strength was still far below that of the other cultivators in that place, and those who were jealous of him tried to snatch it from his hands.

At first, he was still able to fight those people, but as time went by, there were more and more people hunting him to get the artifact, and their strength was far above his.

Not only them, but some of his closest people were also jealous of him, and they also wanted to get the artifact, so they betrayed him by joining the rest of the people.

Ultimately, he was seriously injured because he had to fight with them continuously, and their fight also lasted for so many years. Upon careful consideration, he decided to flee the supreme realm to evade their pursuit, and he learned of the existence of the Burial Realm.

Since not a single cultivator had visited the Burial Realm, and his injuries were getting worse, he decided to go there. For several years, he and Lu Yanjing lived together in seclusion from the outside world, but his body reached its limits due to some injuries that could not be healed because they were too severe. That's why, before he met his death, he decided to hide the Earth Vein Needle in the seabed in the hope that none of those evil people would be able to find it, and the female spirit has lived in the seabed since then.

Ling Xi then informed Ling Yun of all this, making him sigh heavily because greed knew no bounds. He then brought Long Qiu and Zhang Xingcai to the dome. "Which of you two has the confidence to obtain this artifact?"
