Chapter 1354: Chapter 1354: The Prophecy of the Deity Chapter 1354: Chapter 1354: The Prophecy of the Deity “Huang Xiaolong and other treasure hunters have already braved five worlds in the Ten Heavens Slaying Realm,” he said.


    That is to say, this treasure-seeking adventure was essentially beyond the halfway point.


    Within these five worlds, they had found gains, dangers, doubts, and hesitations between life and death…


    This had caused all the treasure hunters to let go of their initial arrogance and become cautious and humble.


    They all were very clear that each world hereafter would be more dangerous, and a single misstep could lead to their demise!


    Finally, under Huang Xiaolong’s leadership, the treasure hunters stepped onto the staircase and arrived at the sixth world!


    They appeared on a square!


    A square paved with jade, inlaid with countless treasures!


    An air of prosperity, bustle, and dense humanity assailed their faces!


    “Eh?” The Sword Immortal Emperor was startled into speaking. “This place is teeming with life!”


    “Indeed, it’s crowded everywhere,” Huang Xiaolong said with a light smile. His divine sense had already spread out at the first moment.


    A brief investigation made it all too clear.


    This sixth world was actually a state brimming with people!


    Yes, outside the square stood buildings closely packed together.


    Streets and alleys, marketplaces, and shops, street stalls, and inns… It literally had everything.


    Countless indigenous people thrived in this world.


    Standing on the square, the treasure hunters could even hear the sounds of hawking and bargaining coming from the nearby vegetable market clearly.


    And the most peculiar thing was — all the buildings of this state, even the ground itself, were made of various precious gemstones.


    For example, even a simple, low house was built of pearls, agate, and diamonds.


    “This is quite wealthy~” The Sword Immortal Emperor exclaimed, clicking his tongue, “Cold iron of ten thousand years, ink crystal, mithril, purple silver, fine gold, fiery iron from within stone, void stone, black lotus wood, jade bead, sunset stone, tide jade… Incredible, incredible, this world is actually built from countless rare heavenly and earthly treasures… These are perfect materials for forging flying swords and magic artifacts! They can even assist in cultivation…”


    “Ha ha ha ha~ Sword Immortal Emperor, you’re babbling like you’re saying a tongue-twister~ What on earth are you talking about?” Huang Xiaolong laughed.


    “Eh~ Don’t blame the Sword Immortal Emperor for being astounded, Huang Xiaolong,” said the Profound Immortal Emperor promptly. “This world is indeed composed of various rare treasures. Its level of wealth may not even be inferior to that of the Immortal Realm. Tsk tsk, although the Immortal Realm has abundant minerals and an endless stream of heavenly and earthly treasures, it isn’t necessarily richer than this world.”


    Instinctively, many Profound Immortals and individuals from the Demon Race couldn’t help but reveal a hint of greed in their eyes.


    Especially the Long Clan’s Third Crown Prince and Ninth Princess, whose eyes shone brightly, showing an eager to move expression.


    There was no helping it; the Long Clan had a natural inclination to collect various shiny treasures.


    Because every inch of this world was composed of treasures, the whole world emitted a splendid and magnificent luster.


    Opulent and luxurious, glittering with gold and jade, a life of decadence and indulgence… Such extravagant phrases could all be used to describe this world.


    The treasure hunters surveyed again.


    They found that there were very many indigenous people in this world, all in human form, not some kind of monster. Moreover, the indigenous people on the streets all had plentiful, content, and peaceful smiles on their faces.


    These smiles added a stunning luster to the entire world! This luster seemed to possess a magical charm, capable of infecting people in an instant.


    At this moment, among the treasure hunters, some Profound Immortals couldn’t help laughing freely and comfortably, “Ah~ This world truly is a peaceful and prosperous age. Before this, we faced too much danger, our nerves were always on edge~ But coming to this world, relaxing~ It’s truly an unprecedented relaxation~”


    “Master, this world doesn’t seem to be filled with any schemes… it’s quite nice~” Xu Fu also sported a pleased look.


    Yet, Huang Xiaolong’s brows were slightly furrowed as he muttered to himself in a voice barely audible to others, “Death qi~ I sense death qi~ So strange~ Really strange~”


    “From the surface, this world is full of vitality, the indigenous inhabitants have very weak cultivation realms, but their thoughts are very pure, not evil beings~ They thoroughly enjoy this world’s sense of happiness, the happiness index is very high~ In a world like this, where the human heart lacks impurities, everyone is benevolent, without backstabbing or treacherous cunning… it’s very hard for malevolent spirits and monsters to breed~ But, I can’t help but detect some death qi lurking in this world~”


    When it came to sensing death qi, Huang Xiaolong’s perception was exceptionally accurate!


    After all, he was the Yin Emperor, a deity of Earth, and moreover, he had inherited the hellish planet — these things couldn’t be concealed from Huang Xiaolong!


    The next moment, Huang Xiaolong concentrated his divine sense and meticulously scanned this world.


    Finally, Huang Xiaolong discovered the clue!


    The death qi permeating this world was actually emanating from those heavenly and earthly treasures!


    That is to say, all the gemstones and materials that look so wonderfully indescribable and glittering with gold and brilliance are all suffused with death energy!


    It’s as if…


    “All the natural treasures in this world are–funerary goods! Because they are funerary goods, they carry death energy!”


    Huang Xiaolong suddenly saw the light.


    “Alright, don’t take things lightly. This world isn’t as simple as you see it,” Huang Xiaolong casually reminded.


    “Brother-in-law, are you saying there’s something wrong with the natives of this world?” the Ninth Princess of the Long Clan asked curiously. Now, she believed every word Huang Xiaolong said, almost to the point of superstition!


    “Heh–the natives probably don’t pose any problems,” Huang Xiaolong chuckled noncommittally.


    At this time, a large number of natives gathered from all directions, crowding around the edge of the square, looking at the Treasure Hunters in the center of the square with shy but very enthusiastic expressions.


    The natives wore clothing of ancient Earthly designs, all made of silk, extremely precious.


    And the height and appearance of the natives were ninety percent similar to the Huaxia race on Earth!


    At a glance, these natives seemed very simple and honest.


    Huang Xiaolong, proficient in the art of reading auras, could affirm that the natives of this world were extremely kind-hearted, and during their lives, had not done any evil deeds.


    “Let’s go have a talk with the natives,” the Sword Immortal said impassively.


    “Sure,” Huang Xiaolong nodded.


    At this time, various discussions began to spring up from all around the square–


    “Oh! The prophecy has come true!”


    “Indeed! One day, a group of unusual beings would descend upon our world!”


    “Divine beings above, the prophecy has been fulfilled!”


    “We must treat these guests from far away with the utmost hospitality!”


    “Yes, we must do everything we can to make our guests completely satisfied!”


    …


    “Prophecy? What prophecy?” The Demon King was completely baffled.


    “Ladies and gentlemen of the native people, could you please explain what this prophecy you speak of refers to?” The Sword Immortal asked directly as he walked toward a group of natives outside the square.


    Huang Xiaolong followed quietly. The other Treasure Hunters hurried to keep up.


    “Ah–honored guests, greetings! Welcome to our world!” Many natives bowed and scraped their heads.


    “Please rest assured, esteemed guests, we will treat you with the greatest hospitality!” An old man with gray sideburns bowed to the Sword Immortal.


    As the saying goes, one does not slap a smiling face. Faced with such a group of trepidatious and well-meaning natives, the Treasure Hunters felt somewhat uncomfortable about saying anything harsh or severe.


    Moreover, the happiness radiating from the natives around the world was infectious, affecting the Treasure Hunters as well.


    Happiness spread like a plague.


    Many Treasure Hunters unexpectedly began to feel a faint sense of happiness.


    “Heh–you folks are too modest,” the Sword Immortal smiled, his elegant demeanor restored. “I’m honored to be in this world. Ah, my apologies for disturbing you. No offense meant, no offense.”


    “Guest, you are too polite. According to the predictions of the divine, our world, one day, will have noble guests descend. You are the guests arranged by the divine, the proof of the prophecy, and this fills us with joy, yet also with apprehension, for fear that our hospitality won’t suffice and the divine will punish us,” the old man with the gray beard said with ruddy cheeks.


    “Divine? Prophecy?” Huang Xiaolong suddenly interjected. “Excuse me, but I would like to know where exactly the so-called divine of your world is? And what exactly is this prophecy all about?”


    “My guests, the divine is enshrined within the divine temple, and the prophecy–heh, esteemed guests, the divine prophecy is left on the murals,” the gray-bearded elder spoke freely and thoroughly.


    Divine temple?

    Huang Xiaolong felt a slight stir in his heart.


    “Could you possibly take us to see the divine temple and allow us to–hey, have a look at the divine’s grace. And incidentally, see what the divine is all about,” Huang Xiaolong said with a chuckle.


    “Of course, that’s possible,” the natives nodded in agreement.


    “By the way, has your divine left any keys or something–with us, the guests mentioned in the prophecy–keys–yes, that’s right, keys?” Huang Xiaolong suddenly asked.


    …
