The monster struggled a few times before collapsing to the ground, lifeless. Ye Dingzhi sheathed his demonic sword, looking at the monster's corpse before him, feeling somewhat relieved.
"Your Majesty, this monster is incredibly powerful. This place is probably not simple," said a master.
Ye Dingzhi nodded slightly, his sharp gaze sweeping across the surroundings: "This mysterious island must hold many secrets, everyone be careful."
The group continued exploring the building, turning through several corridors, and discovered a massive stone gate. The gate was covered in strange runes, faintly radiating a mysterious power.
Ye Dingzhi stepped forward, reached out and touched the stone door, feeling a strong resistance. He frowned, circulated his true energy, and pushed hard. The stone door slowly opened, and an ancient aura rushed out.
Beyond the stone gate lay a spacious cave. In the center of the cave stood a high platform upon which rested an ancient-looking box. Ye Dingzhi flashed to the platform and carefully examined the box.
Just then, a sinister laugh suddenly echoed from within the cave: "Hahaha, intruders, how dare you covet this treasure!"
Chapter 110 Who are you? [Please subscribe!]
With a laugh, a figure in black robes emerged from the shadows of the cave. The figure was shrouded in black robes, obscuring its face, revealing only a pair of eyes that gleamed with an eerie red light.
"Who are you?" Ye Dingzhi asked warily, gripping the demon sword tightly in his hand.
The man in black chuckled: "I am the guardian of this island. Don't even think about taking the treasure away so easily."
With that, the man in black robes waved his hands, and a cloud of black mist surged towards Ye Dingzhi and the others. Ye Dingzhi dodged the mist with a swift movement, and at the same time, he swung his demonic sword, unleashing a sword aura towards the man in black robes.
The man in black robes let out a cold snort, his body flashing like a ghost to dodge the sword energy. Then, he formed hand seals, and countless black shadows shot out from his robes, lunging at the crowd like venomous snakes.
Ye Dingzhi shouted, "Everyone be careful!" He brandished his demonic sword, creating a sword screen in front of him to block the shadows one by one.
A skilled fighter was caught off guard and struck by the shadow, letting out a scream before collapsing to the ground, convulsing. Upon seeing this, Ye Dingzhi was enraged and charged towards the black-robed man with lightning speed.
The man in black robes showed no fear and engaged Ye Dingzhi in a fierce battle in the air. Ye Dingzhi's demonic sword, imbued with sharp sword energy, slashed at the man in black robes time and again, while the man in black robes relied on his unpredictable movements and shadow power to maneuver around Ye Dingzhi.
"Your strength is nothing special, yet you think you can protect the treasure?" Ye Dingzhi mocked.
The man in black robes roared angrily, "Don't be so smug, behold my Shadow Annihilation!" He waved his hands violently, and all the shadows converged to form a huge shadow monster.
The shadow beast opened its blood-red maw and pounced towards Ye Dingzhi. Ye Dingzhi's gaze sharpened, and instead of retreating, he advanced, channeling his true energy into the demonic sword, causing it to shine brightly.
"Break!" Ye Dingzhi slashed at the Shadow Beast with his sword. The sword energy collided with the beast, creating a violent explosion. The Shadow Beast let out a painful roar, its body gradually dissipating.
The black-robed man was thrown back by the impact, spitting out a mouthful of blood. Ye Dingzhi seized the opportunity to close in, pressing his demonic sword against the black-robed man's throat: "Tell me, what's in this box?"
The man in black robes, panting heavily, said viciously, "This is a treasure left behind by my master. You are not worthy to possess it."
Ye Dingzhi frowned: "Who is your master? If you don't tell me, today will be your death day."
The man in black robes remained silent for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter: "Killing me won't help; this treasure is not something you can control."
Without further hesitation, Ye Dingzhi swung his demonic sword, and the black-robed man vanished. He turned and picked up the box on the platform, opened it, and found a bead emitting a strange light inside.
“Your Majesty, this bead looks extraordinary,” said a master.
Ye Dingzhi carefully examined the bead and sensed the powerful energy contained within it: "This bead is definitely going to be of great use. I'll put it away for now."
The group continued exploring the island and discovered some more precious herbs and cultivation manuals. Ye Dingzhi instructed everyone to collect these items.
Deep within the island, they encountered a group of ferocious sea beasts. These beasts were enormous, baring their fangs and claws as they lunged at the group.
Ye Dingzhi stood at the front and shouted to the crowd, "Form the formation!" The crowd quickly formed a circle and gathered their true energy together.
The sea beasts charged forward, and Ye Dingzhi and the others fought back fiercely. Ye Dingzhi wielded his demonic sword, severing a sea beast's claw. The sea beast roared in pain and attacked even more frantically.
"Hold on, everyone!" Ye Dingzhi shouted. He leaped onto the back of a sea beast and plunged his demonic sword into its head. The sea beast struggled for a few moments before collapsing to the ground.
After a fierce battle, the group finally drove back all the sea monsters. Ye Dingzhi wiped the sweat from his forehead: "This island is full of dangers, but it also offers many opportunities."
The group spent several days on the island and reaped considerable rewards. Ye Dingzhi then decided to return to the mainland.
On their way back, they encountered another group of pirates. The pirates sailed their ships toward Ye Dingzhi and his companions' large ship.
Ye Dingzhi stood at the bow of the ship, looking at the pirates, and sneered, "You ignorant fools."
The pirates brandished their weapons and shouted at the people on the large ship, "Hand over all your valuables, and we'll spare your lives!"
Ye Dingzhi remained silent, then swung his demonic sword, unleashing a sword aura that cleaved the pirate ship in two, sending the pirates tumbling into the water.
Some pirates climbed onto the large ship and engaged in close combat with Ye Dingzhi and his men (Qian Wang's men). Ye Dingzhi, like a fierce tiger, repelled the pirates one by one.
"Your Majesty, these pirates are despicable," said one of the experts.
Ye Dingzhi frowned: "Leave no one alive." His eyes were filled with murderous intent.
After a fierce battle, all the pirates were wiped out. Ye Dingzhi and his crew continued their voyage and finally returned to the mainland.
Upon returning to the palace, Ye Dingzhi began studying the beads he had brought back from the mysterious island. He discovered that the beads contained a very peculiar power, which seemed to be able to increase the speed of cultivation.
He decided to go into seclusion to cultivate and absorb the power of the bead. During his seclusion, he continuously circulated his true energy, guiding the power of the bead into his meridians.

After months of cultivation, Ye Dingzhi felt that his strength had made a qualitative leap. He walked out of his secluded cultivation place, his heart filled with joy.
At this moment, a minister came to report: "Your Majesty, there is unusual activity on the border again. It seems that a new force is stirring up trouble."
Ye Dingzhi frowned: "It's the border again. I, Your Majesty, will go and take a look myself."
He led his army back to the border. After reconnaissance, they discovered this new force was a barbarian tribe from the desert. The barbarian warriors were tall and incredibly brave.
Standing on the border city wall, Ye Dingzhi looked at the barbarian camp and said, "These barbarians dare to invade my border; they are unforgivable."
He led his army to attack the barbarian camp. The barbarian warriors, undaunted, charged towards Ye Dingzhi's army with their spears.
Ye Dingzhi wielded his demonic sword, engaging in fierce combat with the barbarian warriors. His demonic sword was like a grim reaper, slaying the barbarian warriors one by one.
Seeing Ye Dingzhi's bravery, the barbarian leader roared and charged towards Ye Dingzhi on a huge warhorse.
Ye Dingzhi's gaze sharpened as he engaged the barbarian leader in a fierce battle in the air. The barbarian leader's spear, imbued with a fierce aura, repeatedly thrust towards Ye Dingzhi.
Ye Dingzhi dodged the spear with a swift movement, and at the same time swung his demonic sword, unleashing a sword aura towards the barbarian chieftain. The barbarian chieftain raised his shield, blocking the sword aura.
“Your strength is not bad, but you are still no match for me,” Ye Dingzhi said.
The barbarian chieftain roared, "I will kill you!" He brandished his spear and attacked even more frantically.
Ye Dingzhi remained calm and composed, engaging the barbarian leader in a battle of wits. He noticed that the barbarian leader's stance became unstable during his attacks.
He deliberately created an opening to lure the barbarian chieftain into attacking. The barbarian chieftain fell for it and thrust forward, but Ye Dingzhi dodged the spear with a swift movement, simultaneously slashing his demonic sword at the barbarian chieftain's warhorse.
The warhorse was wounded, and the barbarian chieftain fell from his horse. Ye Dingzhi seized the opportunity to pounce, pressing his demonic sword against the barbarian chieftain's throat: "Surrender, or die."
The barbarian chieftain gritted his teeth: "My barbarian warriors would rather die than surrender."
Ye Dingzhi frowned, and with a wave of his demonic sword, the barbarian leader was dead.
Upon seeing their leader killed, the barbarian warriors were thrown into chaos. Ye Dingzhi led his army and repelled the barbarian warriors one by one.
After a fierce battle, Ye Dingzhi finally wiped out the barbarian forces. Standing on the border, he was filled with emotion.
“Your Majesty, you have once again safeguarded the border,” a general said.
Ye Dingzhi smiled and said, "This is my responsibility."
He stayed at the border for several days to handle some matters. Then he decided to return to the palace.
Upon returning to the palace, Ye Dingzhi began handling state affairs. He discovered some problems with the country's education system that required reform.
He summoned his ministers to discuss a plan for education reform. After some discussion, they formulated a new education system.
"This education system should be promoted as soon as possible so that more children have the opportunity to receive a good education," Ye Dingzhi said.
The ministers expressed their agreement.
In the days that followed, Ye Dingzhi handled government affairs while simultaneously cultivating his skills. His strength steadily increased, and the country became increasingly prosperous under his rule.
However, the peaceful days didn't last long. One day, Ye Dingzhi received a mysterious letter. Delivered by a mysterious person, it read: "Ye Dingzhi, although your strength is formidable, there are many secrets in this world that you are unaware of. In the far west, there is a mysterious valley, where unparalleled treasures and cultivation methods are hidden. If you have the courage, go and explore."
After reading the letter, Ye Dingzhi had a sudden inspiration. He decided to travel to the west to explore that mysterious valley.
He summoned some skilled warriors and prepared to depart. Before leaving, he told his ministers, "During my absence, you must manage the country well and prevent any problems from arising."
The ministers replied one after another, "Your Majesty, rest assured, we will certainly manage the country well."
Ye Dingzhi nodded, and he led his experts westward.
After a long journey, they finally arrived near the mysterious valley. The valley was shrouded in a layer of mist, making it look very mysterious.
Ye Dingzhi frowned: "This valley is indeed mysterious. Everyone be careful."
They cautiously entered the valley, which was filled with a strange aura. They followed the path through the valley and encountered some strange creatures.
These creatures look like monkeys, but they have wings. They fly around in the air, making chirping noises.
Ye Dingzhi and the others watched the creatures warily, gripping their weapons tightly. Suddenly, the creatures pounced on them.
Ye Dingzhi wielded his demonic sword, slicing down the creatures that lunged at him one by one. These creatures were agile, but not particularly strong.
They continued onward and came to the entrance of a cave. A faint light emanated from within. Ye Dingzhi frowned: "There must be something mysterious in this cave."
Chapter 112 An irresistible urge to get closer [Please subscribe!]
They entered the cave, which was quite spacious. At the far end of the cave, they saw a huge crystal ball. The crystal ball emitted a strange light, making them want to get closer.
Just then, a majestic voice suddenly came from inside the cave: "Intruders, how dare you approach this crystal ball."
As the sound rang out, a colossal figure emerged from the shadows of the cave. The figure resembled a giant, several meters tall, with muscles covering its entire body.
"Who are you?" Ye Dingzhi asked warily.
The giant chuckled: "I am the guardian of this valley, and you will not be able to take the treasure away so easily."
With that, the giant swung its enormous fist, aiming a blow at Ye Dingzhi and the others. Ye Dingzhi dodged the punch with a swift movement, simultaneously wielding his demonic sword and unleashing a sword aura towards the giant.
The giant let out a cold snort and blocked the sword energy with his arm. Then, he stomped his foot, causing the entire cave to tremble.
Ye Dingzhi and the others were thrown about by the shock. Ye Dingzhi steadied himself and shouted to the crowd, "Everyone be careful, this giant is incredibly strong."
The giant launched another attack, his fists carrying immense power as he repeatedly slammed towards Ye Dingzhi and the others.
Ye Dingzhi engaged in a fierce battle with the giant. He discovered that although the giant was powerful, he moved slowly.
He deliberately created an opening to lure the giant into attacking. The giant fell for it and threw a punch, but Ye Dingzhi dodged it with a swift movement, simultaneously slashing his demonic sword at the giant's leg.
The giant's leg was slashed, and it let out a painful roar. Taking advantage of the opportunity, Ye Dingzhi lunged forward, and his demonic sword plunged into the giant's chest.
The giant struggled a few times, then collapsed to the ground, lifeless.
Ye Dingzhi sheathed his demonic sword and looked at the crystal ball before him, his heart filled with curiosity. He stepped forward, reached out and touched the crystal ball, and a powerful force surged into his body.
“This crystal ball contains immense power; it must be a treasure,” Ye Dingzhi said.
He decided to take the crystal ball with him and continue exploring the valley. They discovered some more valuable cultivation resources and secret manuals.
Deep in the valley, they encountered a gigantic python. The python's body was as thick as a bucket and tens of meters long.
Upon seeing Ye Dingzhi and the others, the python opened its massive jaws and lunged at them. Ye Dingzhi brandished his demonic sword and engaged the python in fierce combat.
The python's scales were extremely hard; when the demonic sword struck them, it only left a shallow mark.
Ye Dingzhi frowned: "This python has a very strong defense; we can't fight it head-on."
He began to observe the python's attack patterns, looking for its weaknesses. After some observation, he discovered that the python would expose a slight opening in its abdomen when it attacked.
He deliberately created an opening to lure the python into attacking. The python fell for it and lunged forward, but Ye Dingzhi dodged the attack in a flash, simultaneously thrusting his demonic sword towards the python's belly.
The python roared in pain as it was pierced in the abdomen. It thrashed wildly, trying to break free from the demonic sword's hold.
Ye Dingzhi gripped the demonic sword tightly and twisted it forcefully, pulverizing the python's internal organs.
The python struggled a few times, then collapsed to the ground, lifeless.
Ye Dingzhi and his group stayed in the valley for several days and reaped a rich harvest. They decided to return.
On their way back, they encountered a group of wicked thugs. The thugs' eyes gleamed with greed as they saw the treasures on Ye Dingzhi and his companions.
"Hand over the treasure, or die!" the evil followers shouted.
Ye Dingzhi frowned: "A fool who doesn't know what's good for him."
·· ···Requesting flowers· ········
He wielded his demonic sword and engaged in a fierce battle with the evil followers. Although the evil followers outnumbered him, they were not particularly strong.
After a fierce battle, all the evil forces were wiped out. Ye Dingzhi and the others continued their return.
Upon returning to the palace, Ye Dingzhi began to organize the treasures and secret manuals he had brought back from the mysterious valley. He discovered that these items would greatly benefit his cultivation and the development of the nation.
He decided to share some of the secrets with top experts in China so that their skills could also be improved.
In the days that followed, Ye Dingzhi handled government affairs while simultaneously cultivating his skills. His strength steadily increased, and the country became increasingly prosperous under his rule.
