Chapter 1029 - It’s still A Harvest All The Same (2/2)

It must be noted that the number of Diablo Praecantator clansmen who left their interspatial rings and weapons behind was not just in the hundreds, but more than 12 million. Tang Xiu’s technique to gather all of them was so fast and yet he still needed a long time to collect all of them. Fortunately, he directly refined these Praecantators’ interspatial rings—otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to store so many objects.

Chen Zhizhong had never been to the Immortal World and his knowledge about immortal weapons was very limited. Otherwise, he would’ve realized that the value of these immortal tools and weapons taken away by Tang Xiu was enough for him to buy a vast area of a starfield in the Immortal World while recruiting millions of immortals to work for him.

“Alright, let’s head out!”

Tang Xiu glanced at the fingers on his left hand happily and smilingly said.

“Ehh?” Chen Zhizhong hurriedly said, “But we haven’t explored this small world yet, Master! If there’s a lot of ores here, we must bring them out, no?”

“I already have this small world under my control, so I can easily sense everything here through the array.” Tang Xiu lightly smiled and said, “This place is actually a prison. There are no other precious ores except those 36 Celestial Stones. I’ll take them away directly when we leave this place and this small world will cease to exist.”

Chen Zhizhong quickly understood and said with a smile, “I’d like to learn array formations from you later, Master.”

“Huh? Don’t tell me you have no knowledge about arrays in the inheritance you obtained from the hundreds of Diablo Praecantator experts?” asked Tang Xiu.

“I did obtain it, but they are all wizardry arrays. And they are not that powerful either.” Chen Zhizhong forced a smile and said, “Their arrays pale in comparison to the really powerful ones in the Immortal World, Master.”

“Haha.” Tang Xiu chuckled and said, “That’s true. The Diablo Praecantator Clan boasted formidable individual power. What they pursued were individual might and the quality of their weapons and regarded geomancy array as auxiliary and rather neglected it. Alright then, since you want to learn it, I’ll teach you later. Ah, I forgot something. Try to unleash your strongest strike. Let me see what stage you’ve reached now.”

Chen Zhizhong accepted the order and flashed away to the distance. A kilometer away, he unleashed a powerful punch at the hilltop in front of him.

One strike! Yet, the tens-of-meters high hilltop was directly blasted. The might of the punch was comparable to a strike by a Nascent Soul Stage expert. In the next moment, he brandished the war blade and hacked it towards the big mountain. The powerful bombardment created a huge hole a dozen meters wide and a hundred meters deep on the massif.

“How do you see my current power, Master?” asked Chen Zhizhong hurriedly as he returned to Tang Xiu’s front with an excited face.

“Not bad.” Tang Xiu nodded and said, “Your power is enough to match experts at the late-stage of Nascent Soul. I can’t compare to you in terms of cultivation level, but the likelihood of you being killed by me is high if we fight. There are several reasons for this. Firstly, you’re still unable to fully control your power. Secondly, you’re lacking in combat experience; especially between experts. Thirdly, even experts at Nascent Soul Stage will find it hard to win me.”

Deep worship filled Chen Zhizhong’s eyes as he replied, “Well, your power is kinda progressing too fast, Master. I still remember when we first met. Your strength was probably far weaker before I got the inheritance. But it only took you a year and a half and you’re already able to defeat the Nascent Soul Stage experts. That’s way too amazing. I think you’ll be able to cross the tribulation and ascend to become an Immortal in a few years, no?”

“Hahaha.” Tang Xiu couldn’t help but burst into laughter. “How can it be so easy to cross a tribulation and become an Immortal? It’s just a matter of course for one to progress very fast at an early stage of their cultivation. But it will be more difficult to advance in cultivation in the future as it will take more time to break through each layer. My luck is quite good and I got many fortuitous encounters, that’s the reason why I can contend with experts at the Nascent Soul Stage in just one and a half years. But it’s hard to say in the future!”

Chen Zhizhong was stunned and suddenly realized that he didn’t know much about the cultivation path. The inheritance he obtained from the Diablo Praecantator Clan was limited to the circumstances faced by this clan as well as their cultivation—far from being enough to grasp even the common and superficial knowledge in the Immortal World.

However, his worship towards Tang Xiu didn’t diminish even if the latter admitted such. After all, he knew how mighty powerful those at the Supremacy Stage in the Immortal World were. Not even in the heyday of the Diablo Praecantator Clan had any of its members broken through to the Supremacy Stage. Even all the previous sages and kings of this clan were only at the Perfected Golden Immortal Stage.

Quickly after, Tang Xiu and Chen Zhizhong appeared at the exit passage to the grotto. They looked back at the small world in front of them. Without flinching, Tang Xiu then told Chen Zhizhong to wait outside as he immediately cast a technique to break the whole array.

“Come to me, Celestial Stones!”

As his shout rolled forward, 36 Celestial Stones flew to him and he directly stored them in his interspatial ring. These Celestial Stones only had small uses for him, but they were the best treasures for Gu Yan’er and Ji Chimei. With them now living on Earth and Earth itself not having immortal energy, the rate of restoring their power and healing was very slow.

A tremor shook the earth and the mountains swayed.

Tang Xiu watched as the small world in front of him gradually became illusory. He no longer stayed there and his figure was as though turned into lightning as he bolted outside through the passage in the grotto.

Whoosh!

After he appeared outside the cave in just less than a minute, the entire mountain peak then collapsed along with the destruction of the small world.
