Chapter 315 - Spirit Of Defiance (2/2)
How could he?
The difference between a second-floor and third-floor of equivalent foundation was about three to four times greater, but second-floor to fourth-floor was hundreds of times greater. In the cultivation world, each progression in rank, floor, or realm instituted a vast difference. As one continued to climb closer to the peak, the difference between each only enlarges.
This was an undeniable fact.
Yet…
”I gave you your choice.” Even though he was curious, his soul cultivation base wasn't enough to search their souls for an answer at this moment, and he was a man of his word.
Pointing forward, three spikes of solidified space emerged. Yan Zaizen felt his heart and cultivation base become unstable. Currently, he was using the array to power his arts, but executing two arts simultaneously was a difficult feat. This even included the fact that first-floor wasn't completely 'full'.
He only used a portion of a heavenly crystal to power the heavenly materials, but he needed a complete heavenly crystal, equivalent to a million heavenly drops, to fully stabilize his cultivation base.
Despite the strain and pain, the three spikes sent forth and in a blink, pierced the bodies of the three. In a second, their exploded as spatial blades erupted from their insides like a flock of scared birds.
With a grasp, his true-essence wrapped the remaining souls of the three and sent sealed them. They were kept in his Meteor Ring. At the moment, he couldn't get access to their secrets, but it shouldn't take long.
Three spatial objects, a ring and two bracers, appeared in his ring as well. His eyes were bright with excitement. Turning to Eshe and the other two, they weren't resisting but their eyes showed fear.
Yan Zaizen ignored Iceborn and her companion, turning towards Eshe, his gaze sharp.
Seeing Yan Zaizen turn his focus to her, she panicked inwardly but remained calm outwardly. Even though Yan Zaizen was a hidden expert, the situation wasn't unsalvageable. ”Daoist Ascension, I'm no longer resisting.”
She decided to play ignorant. After all, Yan Zaizen had profound spatial power. If he suspected she used him as bait, she could righteously deny it. With everyone being able to bypass the Yaoguai, it was only expected that she assumed Yan Zaizen had a treasure or art to evade detection.
Even though that wasn't the case, because evading Yaoguai detection without a specific technique suited for it was impossible and not something a weak outsider would possess, but Yan Zaizen didn't know that.
Her thoughts were irrelevant. Yan Zaizen softly smiled, however. ”Daoist Eshe, no need to continue. I'll need proper compensation for your actions.” Yan Zaizen didn't even consider her attempt to remain ignorant. It didn't matter if she did, but he couldn't kill her yet.
He will kill her, but Esi, her sister, would know and depart far away if she had a life talisman. If that happened, finding her without a powerful sense in this vast, vast lands would be nigh impossible.
She had to die too.
Therefore, he didn't reveal any killing intent but just dissatisfaction and lust as his eyes roamed Eshe's body.
Witnessing Yan Zaizen's calm and desire, her eyes lit up. Her mind moved a thousand paces a second and smiled. ”Daoist Ascension, these two women obtained two pieces of inheritance within the mountain: A mid-grade heavenly-tier pill and a Soul of a Mountain.” She immediately informed Yan Zaizen of Iceborn's treasure.
Iceborn and her companion didn't show any shock at her reveal, and when they looked at Yan Zaizen's lust towards Eshe, they had their own thoughts. Iceborn spoke, ”I give both pieces of these treasures to you, Daoist Ascension.”
Two items emerged from her ring with a thought, both of which were a bottle.
When Yan Zaizen saw these bottles, his eyes widened in shock. A green translucent mountain trembled endlessly. It looked like glass, but its existence was based in spirituality.
”A true mountain soul!”
