“Boom.”
Zhang Ruochen slapped his sword out horizontally, striking the left side of the Saint King of the Forest Realm’s face, causing his cheekbones to collapse, his mouth to bleed, and his spine to make a “cackling” sound.
The Saint King of Moral Domain only felt his holy soul shaken, his eyes blackened, and his whole body’s spiritual power and holy qi were dispersed.
After all, it was the God Sealing Stage Conference hosted by the Truth Divine Hall, so Zhang Ruochen didn’t kill the Saint King of Morphic Domain and Saint King of Luo Qi, but only used the Binding Sacred Rope to trap them and threw them into the Mercury Gourd.
Zhang Ruochen stared at Xiang Chunan and asked curiously, “Chunan, how did you happen to appear here?”
“Where does it happen to be? I have Thousand Mile Eyes, and I saw you and my younger siblings being targeted by the five birdmen from hundreds of miles away, so I immediately flew here to help you guys out. How did I know that the five birdmen were so weak? There’s no need for me to make a move at all, you guys would be able to beat them down.”Xiang Chunan had a very unimpressed look on his face.
Zhang Ruochen said solemnly, “They are not birdmen, but angels from the Heavenly Realm, one of the Four Sovereign Worlds. You’d better hurry up and leave this place, don’t get involved in this matter or you’ll get yourself into big trouble.”
Hearing these words, Xiang Chunan’s head stood on end with some anger, saying, “Saying that we will share the same blessings and difficulties, will I, Xiang Chunan, still back down? A man speaks with a mouthful of spit and a mouthful of nails, so what if the angels of the Heavenly Realm, I’m not afraid of them.”
Zhang Ruochen stared deeply at Xiang Chunan, as if a string was touched in his heart.
“Sharing the same blessings, sharing the same hardships” was such a rare phrase, especially when heard in times of great difficulties.
If it was said that before, Zhang Ruochen still felt that it was a bit of a child’s play to form a bond with Xiang Chunan and Feng Yan. Now, then, he was compelled to look squarely at this sentiment.
The words “sharing blessings and difficulties together” were engraved in Zhang Ruochen’s heart.
“Good, share the blessings, share the hardships.”
Not wanting the night to be long, Zhang Ruochen retrieved the Mercury Gourd and rushed inside that cave on the riverbed with Mu Lingshi and Xiang Chunan.
“Rumble.”
The Sacred Spring in the upper reaches of the river surged down crazily, causing the parched river to become watery and cleansing again.
“Swish swish.”
The silhouettes of a single living being swept over from all directions, appearing on both sides of the river channel with a hesitant look in their eyes. They were also eager to rush into that cave, yet, they were afraid of Zhang Ruochen’s trio’s formidable battle power.
Knowing that the five Angelic Race Saint Kings had been easily suppressed, who would dare to compete with them for the treasures?
……
In the Outer East Garden, in an ancient Divine Soil Medicine Garden, Lance White met the four-winged Scarlet Angel, Sinful Battle.
Sins Battle’s figure was tall and broad-shouldered, and the two pairs of scarlet wings on his back unfolded like two blood clouds wrapping his body, full of bloodthirsty aura.
In addition to Sin War, there were nearly a hundred other powerful beings present, all from the great worlds that were on good terms with the Heavenly Realm.
Among them, there was a monk with no five senses on his head, standing shoulder to shoulder with Sin Battle, and the holy might emanating from his body was not inferior to Sin Battle’s. This monk was called “No Senses”, and his body was full of bloodthirsty aura.
This monk’s name was “Wuxiang”.
This group of beings surrounded the Ancient Divine Earth Pill Garden, forbidding beings from other worlds from intruding and monopolising the Pill Garden’s sacred medicines. The cultivators of those other great worlds were afraid of the strength of the Paradise Realm and dared not speak out in anger.
When Lance White arrived, the sacred medicines in the Divine Earth Medicine Garden had already been picked by them.
A rushing blood light surged out from the body of the Sinful Warrior as he said in a deep voice, ”To dare to take the initiative to attack the Heavenly Realm’s Heavenly Pride, what is the other party’s origin? Could it be a divine son or grandson of a great world ranked in the top one hundred?”
Generally speaking, only cultivators from great worlds ranked in the top one hundred would dare to arm wrestle with the Heavenly Realm. Moreover, that was still a forced counterattack, not an active attack.
An active attack was a provocation, and the consequences were quite serious.
Lance White gritted his teeth and said, “They definitely aren’t from the top one hundred ranked great worlds, they’re quite unfamiliar, they should be top powerhouses that have been cultivated by some unknown weak realm.”
A voice came out from the phaseless monk’s abdomen, “Just now, you said that they hold a gourd sacred treasure that is capable of taking in all the Saint Kings?”
“That’s right, that gourd, it must be a supreme treasure they found in the God Sealing Platform, it’s powerful, and the water-attribute aura that radiates out is even thicker than a water-attribute 100,000 year old holy medicine.”In Lance White’s mind, the image of the Mercury Gourd suspended in mid-air emerged, and a strong desire to possess it arose in his heart.
Phase-less continued to ask, “What about the cave at the bottom of the Sacred Spring River?”
Lance White revealed a relatively angry expression and said, “There was divine light escaping from that cave, and there was also a strong medicinal aroma permeating it, and there was more than likely a hundred thousand years of ancient sacred medicines inside. Originally, we were the ones who discovered that cave first, but those three were quite brutal and overbearing, as well as despicable, and directly attacked us in a sneak attack without us having any defence. Otherwise, with the strength of the five of us, how could we have lost so badly?”
Sins Battle was able to become a Scarlet Four-Winged Angel, so he was naturally quite shrewd, hearing a few loopholes and roughly guessing the truth of the entire incident from some of Lance White’s subtle looks.
Lance White and the others, relying on their strong backgrounds and even more so, their status as Heaven Realm cultivators, were usually already accustomed to being in the presence of the weak realm cultivators, and even taking them by force.
This time, it was mostly because they had looked at someone else’s gourd sacred treasure and wanted to snatch it that they suffered a big loss.
Of course, no matter what the reason was, people such as Saint King Luo Qi and Saint King Ji Ya did have extraordinary identities, and Sins War, as the Paradise Realm’s top powerhouse guarding the four outer courtyards, naturally couldn’t just sit back and do nothing.
Whether it was right or wrong, the Paradise Realm, being one of the dominant worlds, absolutely could not suffer.
Moreover, Sinful Battle was quite interested in that gourd sacred treasure, as well as the mysterious cave.
Sinful Battle hummed quietly, ”To dare to lay a harsh hand on the cultivators of the Paradise Realm, no matter who they are, they must be made to pay a painful price. Otherwise, where is the prestige of the Paradise Realm? Lance White, lead the way.”
Lance White’s heart was overjoyed, with Sins Battle out there, that human scholar and Black Rumpelstiltskin were dead! The Gourd Sacred Treasure would most likely fall into the hands of Sin War, however, that Phoenix Clan’s beautiful woman, he could take the opportunity to subdue her and take her into his favourite concubine.
Earlier, that Phoenix Clan’s beautiful woman had almost injured him with a single strike, and Lance White had always harboured a grudge, so he would have to make her cry and beg for forgiveness later on.
Thinking of this, the corners of Lance White’s mouth, wickedly upturned.
Lance White led the way, Sin War and Wuxiang led a dozen of Saint King realm powerhouses, and rushed straight towards the Sacred Spring River.
……
Zhang Ruochen was the first to enter the cave, the rich medicinal fragrance almost condensed into liquid form, gulping in a breath, the internal organs were as if they were being cleansed.
“Could it be that there really is a 100,000 year old Ancient Saint Pill?”Zhang Ruochen’s heart beat violently.
The deeper they went into the cave, the more space there was inside, the surface of the four-sided stone walls flowed with divine light, and it was unknown if it was because of being nurtured in divine Qi for years and years, the stone walls were even harder than sacred iron.
Mu Lingshi was a bit puzzled, “Is this cave a natural formation or was it carved out by human hands?”
“Snap.”
Zhang Ruochen swung his sword out and struck the top of the stone wall.
On the stone wall, just a three feet deep sword mark appeared. There were purple air currents gushing out from the sword mark, and it wasn’t long before the sword mark unexpectedly disappeared.
“Surprisingly, it can still repair itself.”
Xiang Chunan pursed his thick lips and became vigilant, feeling that this cave was too bizarre, saying that he would not necessarily encounter unfathomable perils.
In the cave, it was filled with purple, red, and cyan coloured light mist, and it was getting thicker and thicker.
The thick light mist was able to block the cultivator’s vision and spiritual power, and even with Zhang Ruochen’s Heavenly Eyes, when he looked forward, he could only see a dense fog.
The more so, the greater the possibility of encountering danger.
Right at this moment, Xiang Chunan, who was walking at the very back, howled, “Holy Pill, Ten Thousand Years Holy Pill.”
Subsequently, this black rascal crossed over Zhang Ruochen and Mu Lingshi and charged forward furiously.
“His pair of clairvoyant eyes are actually this powerful?”
Zhang Ruochen didn’t see the shadow of the Sacred Pill, but trusted Xiang Chunan’s eyes, so he also quickened his pace and followed.
Ahead, the cave became even more open, reaching a width of more than fifty metres, and in the mist of light, there were many purple, red, and cyan-coloured points of light flickering.
Each dot of light was a Sacred Pill.
Xiang Chunan kept making howling noises, ecstatic: “It’s really a supreme treasure, brother Ruochen, younger siblings, hurry up and pick it, this time we’ve made a big profit!”
Xiang Chunan turned around and was startled. Only to see that in the cave, sixty-four Zhang Ruochen had appeared, frantically guessing at the Holy Pill.
“Surprisingly using a mental split to pick pills, it’s not fair.”
Xiang Chunan was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, and immediately picked holy pills with his hands, fearing that he would lose to Zhang Ruochen in terms of the degree of picking pills. However, it was hard to beat one hundred and twenty-eight hands with two hands, Zhang Ruochen’s picking degree was far from being comparable to Xiang Chunan.
“There’s no need to rush, the holy pills picked in this cave will be shared equally between the three of us.”Zhang Ruochen said.
Hearing this, Xiang Chunan was overjoyed and said, “Brother Ruochen is generous, this is what it means to share the same blessings and difficulties, haha.”
Mu Lingshi didn’t pick, but stood guard, her ear pressed on top of the stone wall to listen, and suddenly, her pretty face violently changed, saying, “A large number of cultivators have entered the cave, and are rushing towards here.”
Xiang Chunan lifted his sledgehammer and roared loudly, “There are still a lot of people who don’t want to die, I’m going to suppress them now.”?Zhang Ruochen, who was picking herbs, frowned and said, “Come back. Earlier, the three of us easily defeated the five Saint Kings of the Paradise Realm, and ordinary cultivators haven’t dared to break in. I think that the cultivators who entered the cave are most likely experts from the Paradise Realm invited by Lance White,”
The Paradise Realm and the great worlds dependent on the Paradise Realm could be said to be filled with experts, and even if Xiang Chunan’s battle prowess was as strong as it was, it would be impossible for him to fight a group of people with one.
“Alright, let them go for now.”
Xiang Chunan’s entire muscle bulged up, radiating a black aura as he swung out his sledgehammer and blasted on top of the cave’s stone wall, surprisingly smashing the hard stone wall to the point that it continuously collapsed, quickly blocking the cave.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Ruochen’s heart was slightly startled, “This Black Rumpus’s strength, it’s a bit perverted, I had underestimated him before.”
Mu Lingshi’s eyebrows knitted slightly as she said, “Big Brother Xiang, you blocked the cave, where are we going to get out?”
“Huh?”
Xiang Chunan was slightly stunned, obviously, not having considered this issue at all.
Suddenly, Zhang Ruochen’s voice, which carried a few hints of astonishment and joy, entered both of their ears, “There is actually a 100,000 year old Ancient Sacred Pill.”
