Chapter 808: Chapter 805: Xiao Tian’s Gift
After sighing at Daoist Tianxing’s foresight, Master Lei suddenly frowned as he recalled what Xiao Tian had just said about the Shaking Light Disc. He spoke up, "We’ve heard our master mention the matter of the Shaking Light Disc before too."
Xiao Tian immediately sensed something was amiss with Master Lei’s words and asked, "Why? Is there a discrepancy between what Daoist Tianxing told you and what you know?!"
Master Lei shook his head to deny it, "Not really, but I remember our master saying that besides the Megrez Stone and the Shaking Light Disc, there seems to be another treasure that complements them. When all three come together, their power will be more than ten times greater!"
Xiao Tian nodded and didn’t say anything. He wasn’t someone who reached for grandiose goals. It was better to first get his hands on the Shaking Light Disc and leave the rest for later. Considering those distant things would only add frustration!
"So have you decided to set off now?" Master Lei asked.
"Yes!"
Xiao Tian said, "After all, Daoist Tianxing only mentioned a general area. The exact location might vary slightly. It’s more reassuring to go early to avoid being caught off guard when the time comes."
Master Lei pondered for a moment and then said, "Alright, then we won’t hold you back, Xiao. If you need anything, feel free to say so; we will definitely give our full support!"
"Alright!" Xiao Tian didn’t stand on ceremony. After speaking, he turned his wrist, and a misty, earth-yellow energy appeared in his hand.
"What is this?!"
The Lei Tong brothers exchanged a glance, both looking somewhat puzzled and uncertain.
Xiao Tian smiled and said, "This is part of the Megrez Stone’s energy. Although it seems that Daoist Tianxing won’t make things too difficult for you, having it adds some insurance!"
As he spoke, Xiao Tian shifted his right hand, five fingers coming together like a blade, and he split two pieces from the misty, indeterminate energy to hand it to the Lei Tong brothers.
"You each keep one, and as for this portion, whether to give it to Daoist Tianxing or keep it for yourselves is up to you!" Xiao Tian suggested.
The Lei Tong brothers were well-versed men and could tell the extraordinary nature of this energy just with their Perception Power. They couldn’t help but reveal a look of delight, bowing in unison, "Thank you, Brother Xiao!"
Receiving a return for their effort, and an almost doubled return at that, made the Lei Tong brothers a bit excited. And this was just the beginning. What about the future?
The benefits would surely be endless!
Watching Xiao Tian’s figure fade into the distance, Daoist Tong said with some relief, "Brother, thank goodness you had keen insight at that time, otherwise we might be with Celestial Punishment Daoist now..."
Master Lei waved his hand to interrupt the following words, saying, "Such words are better left unsaid in the future; as long as you’re aware in your heart, that’s enough!"
"What do we do now?" Daoist Tong asked hesitantly, "Give the Megrez Stone’s energy to Brother Daoist Tianxing or keep it for ourselves?"
After flickering his gaze a few times, Master Lei looked at the vast and slightly self-contained energy cluster, gritted his teeth, and said, "Give it to Brother Daoist Tianxing!"
Just as he made this decision, an expression of comfort appeared on Celestial Punishment Daoist’s face in the council hall, and he sat patiently waiting for the Lei Tong brothers’ arrival...

Walking underground, Melinda felt an increasing sense of familiarity. This Illusion Realm, which almost perfectly matched her memory, brought her both joy and unavoidable doubt.
After so long, could it be that no one else has entered?!
Of course, no one entering was undoubtedly a good thing for Melinda.
Further, after experiencing an adventure, Melinda believed that even if someone did enter, it’s likely they’d disappeared from memory of this place after their strength increased like she did.
This inference was clearly valid, for if not fortuitously spurred by the energy of a Five Elements Crystal, Melinda couldn’t have recalled this nearly forgotten memory and returned to this place once more.
Walking cautiously, Melinda began planning how to take away the strange object she would see later.
Having suffered significant painful lessons before, Melinda wouldn’t dare to grab it with her hand this time, no matter what. So, she must devise a foolproof plan to secure the treasure while ensuring her own safety.
Looking left and right, Melinda didn’t find anything suitable, so she took the long whip from her waist.
This would not only serve as self-defense in case of unexpected danger but also act as a means to test the treasure. If any danger arose, she could quickly abandon the weapon to ensure her safety.
As she neared the remembered location of the treasure, Melinda heightened her vigilance, fully harnessing her Perception Power, and keenly observed her surroundings, ensuring she could react correctly to unforeseen circumstances in the first moment.
The truth was, Melinda’s extreme caution proved unnecessary, as no dangerous situations arose even upon reaching the corner.
Nevertheless, Melinda did not feel her actions were inappropriate; in an unknown environment, one could never be too careful, rooted in many years of experience, it was her greatest responsibility to herself!
Taking a deep breath, Melinda gradually adjusted her mindset to the most stable state, following her memory’s guidance; once past the turn ahead, she should be able to see what she came for.
Moments later, having calmed her mind, Melinda advanced without hesitation, stepping into the familiar underground palace.
Upon entering, she saw the remembered treasure floating mid-air, a bit strange to Melinda, causing an inexplicable feeling that it was waiting for her to arise.
After observing for quite a while and seeing the treasure didn’t change, Lin Bingxuan clenched her fist, forcefully swung out the long whip in her hand, wrapping it around the floating treasure.
Oddly enough, this time there was no disturbance at all. As Melinda pulled her whip, the treasure in mid-air moved instantly without the slightest feeling of obstruction.
Watching the unusually shaped treasure lying quietly at her feet, occasionally emitting a gentle glow, Melinda felt waves of unreality swirling in her heart.
Was it really this easy?!

Thirty kilometers was no more than half a day’s journey for Xiao Tian, leisurely soaking in the scenery as he strolled through the snow, finding an unexpected taste amid it all.
Of course, Xiao Tian’s actions weren’t solely for sightseeing; although he appeared indifferent, he was keeping a particularly keen on his surroundings.
Not out of concern for being followed—considering Xiao Tian’s established reputation on Kunlun Mountain, unless a master of Thunder King Salon’s caliber approached to provoke him, anyone below this level would flee at the mere mention of his name, running as far away as they could.
Moreover, a master akin to Thunder King Salon certainly wouldn’t bother provoking Xiao Tian over an uncertain treasure map, as it’s not worth such a high risk.
