Chapter 36
Among the first-grade immortal materials discovered, the most valuable was a Purple Rhyme Lychee Tree. As an immortal wood, its value far exceeded that of immortal herbs, for herbs can only be harvested once, whereas immortal wood has an incredibly long lifespan and can provide a continuous source of immortal stones.
"Is that so?" Jivett exhaled, though he did not seem relieved. He lay flat on the blanket, which was kept from the cold by the campfire, his eyes looking somewhat hollow. According to his account, traversing the long river of time invariably incurs some form of backlash, and for someone like the man who had a dharma body severed, the backlash was even more severe.
"Do not worry, My Lord. I can collect arrows while attacking; at most, it will only double the time required. As long as I maintain consistency, I can absolutely help you kill all those wretched, starving zombies." Blood Crow replied.
The entire Demon Realm, from the Chaotic Demon Domain to the Sinister Demon Domain and the Demon God Domain, was shrouded in this terrifying aura. Weaker demons were forced to their knees instantly.
The old man’s laughter was cut short, as if someone had suddenly pinched his throat. He stared blankly at the wife of Sun Rong, who was kneeling before him, then turned his gaze toward Yingchun as if looking at a heavenly deity.
Nishang had learned to use the Immortal Spirit Shop, allowing her to purchase items from it at any time, which was extremely convenient.
Li Yihang was truly bound like a zongzi, unable to move even a finger, let alone escape; even if his legs hadn't been injured and he were in perfect health with twice the martial prowess, he still couldn't have gotten away. He required assistance for daily tasks like eating and drinking. Lying in the carriage, listening to the creaking of the wheels, he wondered if they were heading toward the Helan Mountains.
He was contemplating how to completely purge the cave of all threats. Although the current temperature made the cave's various creatures seem ill-adapted—even humans parasitized by "Zero" could not remain exposed to such temperatures for long—he remained cautious.
Aragog crawled under a tree. The frailty of age did not seem to make him too sluggish, yet following a shout of "Legilimens Stiffus," his eight legs locked, and he collapsed onto the ground.
"I have told you, I do not have what you are looking for." Li Yuehui looked at the three people who had suddenly appeared before him. His face was pale to the extreme, bordering on tears, for all three were middle-stage Sword Emperors. Facing even one would have been difficult; facing three meant certain death.
Immediately, the expressions of Ling Yun and the members of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect turned sour. To be mocked by a dog was stifling, yet they had no recourse. Could they bite a dog back just because they had been bitten?
"Yes! We shall obey the Divine Lord’s arrangements." Wan Rou and Wan Changchuan felt a secret joy. They had been hoping to claim these divine pills and artifacts for themselves rather than share them with the rest of the Wan God clan. Wang Xian’s proposal suited their intentions perfectly, and they nodded in quick succession.
"Are you saying this is the place where the Ageless Clan slaughtered that Holy Dragon?" Gu Zhan was no fool. Upon hearing Lin Sheng’s words, he began to observe his surroundings, his brow filled with excitement.
Once they exited the cave, the four of them shot rapidly upward. Along the way, some Sea Strange Beasts that had expected a feast were so terrified by the horrifying aura radiating from the group that they scattered in every direction.
The man had just stumbled out of the thick fog when he clutched his gaping, open wounds, let out a strange cry, and rolled back into the mist. Had a human sustained such severe injuries, they would have perished long ago.
"I know, thank you, Jessica!" Lin Xia said to Jessica, and together they boarded the Longfeng.
This was a strange space of over a hundred square meters. There were no blue skies or white clouds, no solid earth; everything was filled with a hazy radiance, and even the ground beneath them shimmered with a cyan glow. The outside world was no longer visible; this space seemed completely isolated from the rest of the world.
Hua Lu had once guessed the true nature of the relationship between Qin Yang and Lan Yuan and had even questioned Lan Yuan about it. When she learned that they were truly just friends, she couldn't help but reveal what Qin Yang had said at the time, which moved Lan Yuan to tears.
Li Si had no time for melancholy. He flew rapidly toward the Great Chu Pass; he needed to bring out He Yan, Jia Lian, and Mo Xiao'en—who were stronger than he was—from his divine storage space to fight. This battle would be the one to completely resolve the alien beasts outside the Great Chu Pass. The celestial tracks here had already closed; no new monsters would be arriving.
Xiang Jia was leading his remnants in retreat, dejected, when a troop of soldiers suddenly charged out from a dense forest. They roared as they rushed toward the team, shouting, "Do not flee, Xiang Jia! Pay with your life!" Without further ado, they charged forward, blades raised.
She sighed in admiration at her husband's keen eye; she was indeed beautiful, and any child they had would surely be beautiful too. She secretly grew fond of her. Her compound eyes confirmed the judgment. She hurried forward to support her, comforting her: "Miss Ruyu, walk slowly."
All of the managers of the Tang family appeared before Tang Xue and Chen Haoran in less than three minutes.
After hearing this, Fuxi’s expression turned grave. This information was crucial, and whether true or false, it had to be treated seriously. He turned and left immediately.
Snakes are inherently lecherous, and the commoners who had eaten the snake-people of the Ten Thousand Snake Palace naturally became tainted by this ugly habit.
Chen Yu said nothing more, simply punching the rockery beside him. Instantly, the rockery shattered into fragments, falling apart and scattering across the ground.
Zhu Bajie had intended to toy with Gong Gong for a bit of fun, but instead of succeeding, he ended up getting smashed in the face by Gong Gong, seeing stars and feeling intense pain.
Seeing that Su Ran remained silent for a long time, Fu Siyu turned his head and saw her staring straight at him, her eyes shifting as she pondered some chaotic thoughts.
Wang Ke'er was a little confused now. After looking closely at Chen Yu, her imposing manner vanished, as if a punch filled with strength had struck a pile of cotton.
As soon as the words fell, the noisy surroundings suddenly went quiet. A moment later, a wave of applause erupted, with boys even cheering.
After being stopped by the guards at the gate of the Forbidden City, the guards verified Ling Xia’s token, confirmed his identity, and inspected his entourage and the items in the carriage. Seeing the contents of the rear carriage, the guard reached out to open it.
"Shh!" Bai Sheng covered Shi Qian’s mouth, for he had already heard people nearby.
Hearing Wang Qitian put it that way, the others felt an involuntary shiver; they were stunned by the immense potential for growth in Lin Siyang’s abilities.
