Chapter 143: Sacred Magic Core

  Just as Chen Peng was still in a daze, Xiao Jiu had already made a swift slash and ripped open the belly of the magic wolf. He rummaged through the wolf's bloody abdomen for a moment before his hand emerged with a golden glowing magic core. Seeing that Chen Peng was still in a trance, Xiao Jiu waved the magic core in front of him, seemingly startling him.

  "Brother, it's time for you to wake up too! I've killed so many little Luo Luo, I don't know how many. I didn't expect that today, a fearless one would actually come."

  Xiao Jiu finished speaking and turned around to glare fiercely at the already dead magic wolf. Chen Pengpeng only came back to his senses after hearing Xiao Jiu's voice, still in a state of shock. He trembled as he took over the Sacred-grade Magic Core from Xiao Jiu's hand, this was something that even the immortals in the immortal realm couldn't obtain! Today was the first time he had come into contact with such an extraordinary item, Chen Pengpeng knew that this Sacred-grade Magic Core could instantly boost a person's cultivation, and if given to someone of the same kind, it would take them to the next level. However, this wasn't just any ordinary magic core, but a Sacred-grade one, he only now realized that there was still a long way for a cultivator to reach the Flying Heaven Realm. If he were to force himself to consume it, the only outcome would be his body exploding and dying, and now, holding the Sacred-grade Magic Core in his hand, he could feel the powerful energy waves emanating from it. Chen Pengpeng knew that he didn't need this item, but Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai certainly did, a smile immediately appeared on his face. Then, he quickly stored the Sacred-grade Magic Core in the Seven-colored Divine Ring.

  "Brother, why are you so happy? It's just a magic core. What's there to be excited about? Think back to those years..."

  Xiao Jiu was just about to tell Chen Pengpeng how he used to slaughter those even higher-level magical beasts when he was interrupted by him. Chen Pengpeng wasn't doubting Xiao Jiu's abilities, but rather he trusted him too much, so this wasn't important to him.

  "Xiao Jiu, we're going to have a great dinner tonight!"

  Chen Pengpeng's eyes widened at the sight of the demon wolf's corpse, and his mouth began to water. He hadn't eaten in a month, and tonight he was determined to have a good meal. To be honest, Chen Pengpeng had never tasted a saint-level demonic beast before, so he didn't know what it would taste like. Xiao Jiu heard Chen Pengpeng's words and was confused - since staying in the space, he had always eaten raw food, so he naturally didn't understand what Chen Pengpeng meant. Chen Pengpeng quickly skinned the demon wolf and threw all the meat into his divine ring. If other cultivators saw how Chen Pengpeng treated this saint-level demonic beast, they would be shocked - this was a sacred creature! The skin of the saint-level demon wolf could at least be made into a cloak or used as battle armor, far surpassing the scales of the flying beast he had killed earlier. But our protagonist didn't know any of these things; his stomach was growling with hunger, and all he wanted to do was clean up and return to the ninth layer of space.

  "Haha, Xiaojiao, you've done a great job this time. Tonight, brother will get you some delicious food, let's hurry back and find Xiaohei and Xiaobai."

  Chen Pengpeng finished speaking and jumped into the air, flying towards the ninth layer of space. When they flew to the forbidden area between the tenth and ninth layers, Chen Pengpeng crashed head-on into the seal with a loud "bang" and was knocked back out. As he steadied himself in mid-air, he touched his forehead and found that it had swollen into a big lump. He flew back up to the boundary of the seal and gently touched it with his hand.

  Bang

  Another loud noise, Chen Peng's hand was bounced back. At this time, Chen Peng couldn't enter the tenth layer of space at all, if it wasn't for Xiao Jiu, he wouldn't be able to enter this space either. Chen Peng turned his head with a confused face and looked at Xiao Jiu, only to see him covering his mouth and rolling around in the space, Chen Peng saw his appearance and felt embarrassed!

  "What's going on with Xiao Jiu? Why can't I rush over?"

  Chen Pong looked at the energy wall in front of him, emitting waves. He didn't know how he came to this unfamiliar space either. In other spaces, a single thought could make him leave. But when he arrived at the tenth layer of space, his thoughts had no effect at all. At that time, he wanted to show off in front of Xiao Jiu, but unexpectedly, he suddenly felt stifled. Fortunately, he didn't tell Xiao Jiu, or his masculine image would have been completely lost.

  "Haha! Haha...... Brother, the package on your head...... Haha it's really killing me!"

  Xiao Jiu was holding his stomach and laughing non-stop. Chen Peng's face had almost turned into a pig's liver at this point, seeing his own brother in such an embarrassing state Xiao Jiu couldn't bear to tease him anymore. After all, men have dignity too, giving them a way out is always good. Although Xiao Jiu was young, he still understood many things.

  "Brother, actually this seal is unbreakable by anyone in the entire space, and I'm the only one who can do it. I'm not bragging! If you don't believe me, just find any demon beast to try, this is the boundary of the tenth layer of space!"

  He proudly said, raising his head. He actually just wanted to show off to Chen Pengpeng about how great he was, after all, kids are more prone to boasting! I'm sure readers all know this. As soon as Chen Pengpeng heard that it was the tenth layer of space, his brain buzzed with excitement. He had thought about finding a way to come in and take a look before, but he didn't expect to be standing inside this space now. He finally understood why his divine sense couldn't have any effect - the reason was right here. He turned his head to gaze at the paradise-like place behind him, taking two deep breaths of the thick spiritual energy.

  "Let's go, Xiaojie! When I have time, I will definitely come back and thoroughly explore this mysterious space."

  Chen Pengpeng gazed at the scenery of this space with a hint of reluctance, then turned to Xiao Jiu beside him and said. "Hiss!" A loud dragon's roar erupted, and suddenly Xiao Jiu transformed into a magnificent golden dragon radiating brilliant light. Chen Pengpeng was stunned once again by Xiao Jiu's true form, having only caught a glimpse of it from afar when Xiao Jiu, Xiao Hei, and Xiao Bai were fighting. Now, Xiao Jiu's majestic form floated before his eyes, with four nine-clawed golden dragons proudly soaring in the air. If Xiao Jiu hadn't transformed into its true form, Chen Pengpeng wouldn't have been able to freely enter and exit the tenth layer of space.

  In the ninth layer of space, Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai were cultivating when they suddenly heard a dragon's roar in the sky. They immediately opened their eyes "Roar! Roar!" Two tiger roars shot into the sky, and the demons in the ninth layer of space all fled in all directions, thinking that another big battle was about to erupt again!

  "Ah! Oh!"

  In the space of the ninth layer, a divine dragon emitting golden light appeared in the air. On the back of the divine dragon sat a handsome and elegant man. However, this person looked somewhat comical as he only had some vines covering his private parts. He was none other than Chen Pengpeng's acknowledged younger brother, Xiao Jiu.

  "Master! Master!"

  Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai saw their master return, immediately flying to the front, but they didn't dare get too close to the massive nine-clawed golden dragon in front of them. They had suffered a loss at the hands of Xiao Jiu before and knew that Xiao Jiu was not someone they could handle.

  Chen Pongpang saw Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai fly down from Xiao Jiu's body. Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai were shocked, knowing that when the nine-clawed golden dragon took their master away, it wouldn't harm him. What surprised them was that the divine dragon had healed its own injuries.

  That day, they had personally seen their master being struck by the divine lightning and left half-dead. At the time, they were worried that something would happen to him. These days, Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai had also been worried about their master, going to challenge the seal of the tenth layer several times but returning empty-handed each time.

  "Xiao Hei, Xiao Bai, as long as you two are fine, I can rest assured!"

  When Chen Peng spoke, his voice trembled slightly. When he saw Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai's worried expressions, his heart ached. "Hng!" A dragon's roar echoed, and Xiao Jiu transformed into a golden light, taking on the appearance of a young child. As Xiao Jiu approached Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai, they continuously retreated backward. This wasn't unusual for Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai; perhaps it was the nature of magical beasts. Once they encountered a more powerful magical beast, they would have the instinct to submit. It was known that Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai were also part of the divine beast clan. Unless they were defeated, they wouldn't show deference to others - this was the temperament of the White Tiger Divine Beast Clan.

  "You two big tigers are so afraid of me? If you hadn't provoked me earlier, I wouldn't have bothered with you two little rascals!"

  Xiao Jiu looked at Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai with disdain, saying. Xiao Hei was originally a proud and arrogant guy, in all these years which demon beast dared to speak to him like that? But today he was almost made to spit blood by a little kid, although he was extremely angry in his heart but didn't dare retort back at Xiao Jiu. Xiao Bai on the other hand wasn't affected much because she knew there were many more powerful divine beasts than their White Tiger clan in this world. Chen Pongpang saw that even Xiao Hei had times when he got out of line, and secretly laughed to himself. However, to conceal his own thoughts, he pretended to be clueless.

  "Hmph! You tigers shouldn't be so arrogant, how about we have another round? If you weren't calling out to my master, I would have annihilated all of you that day! I still remember when I was at my weakest during evolution, you almost took my life!"

  Xiao Jiu raised his small fist at the disgruntled Xiao Hei. Xiao Hei's face immediately turned black, just like his name. Chen Pengpeng saw that things were about to get out of hand and hurried over to pat Xiao Hei on the shoulder. Although Chen Pengpeng didn't say a word, he knew his master was comforting him. Just as Xiao Hei was really going to give Chen Pengpeng a bear hug, Chen Pengpeng suddenly kicked Xiao Hei flying with one foot.

  "I'm not made of glass!"

  Chen Pengpeng finished speaking and saw that his whole body shook. If it were a beauty, it would be okay, but this is a big tiger that can only talk, let alone hug, even letting people touch him makes him feel afraid! Fortunately, Chen Pengpeng reacted in time, otherwise he would have vomited for three days and three nights when he got back.
