Chapter 267 (2/2)

“If we don’t take advantage of our time to cultivate, then once we encounter him in the Jiuli secret realm, we’ll be the ones to die . ”

Mo Nian’s voice was extremely grave . His words caused all of them, even Tu Fang, to have their hearts pound wildly .

They had sacrificed a Xiantian expert for a genius? That was incredibly ruthless . Most likely only the Corrupt path would be able to do that .

Even Tu Fang, who was at the peak of Meridian Opening, was only able to slightly sense natural energy, let alone use it for his own purposes .

That was because his body had yet to take that final step, transforming from Houtian to Xiantian . He, along with everyone else present, was rejected from doing so by heaven and earth .

Xiantian experts were practically G.o.ds in the eyes of these people . But for a single disciple, the Corrupt path had sacrificed such a G.o.d-like existence . That caused everyone to feel a chill .

At the same time, their terror of Yin Luo increased even further . He had yet to even refine his Xiantian essence blood, but he was already so powerful . Once he became used to the Xiantian essence blood in his body, would there still be someone capable of subduing him?

Even Long Chen felt a great deal of pressure . The only reason he had been able to fight on the same level as Mo Nian and Yin Luo this time was because of Chu Yao .

Without her sharing her spiritual qi with him, Long Chen would have already died to that Corrupt Elder, let alone Yin Luo .

“I’m going to go now . Let’s meet again in the Jiuli secret realm . We’ll have a proper drink then . ”

Mo Nian took out a jade tablet . That jade tile was also made of white jade and emitted a spiritual fluctuation .

Seeing Long Chen staring intently at his jade tablet, Mo Nian thought he had never seen such a magical trick, and so he laughed, “This jade tablet is called a teleportation jade . A Xiantian expert used their Spiritual Strength to carve extremely powerful runes inside it . Once activated, it will be able to open a teleportation portal for a short period of time for long distance travel .

“Due to the powerful Spiritual Strength within the teleportation jade, not only can it be used to open a teleportation portal, it also has a spiritual calming effect, allowing people to quickly enter a meditative state . So its other name is Soul Calming Jade . All large sects have it .

“But this little plaything is somewhat precious, and so some stingy fellows aren’t willing to give them out . ”

After speaking, Mo Nian inserted his Spiritual Strength into the jade tablet . The jade lit up with brilliant light, opening a spatial door in midair .

That door was over thirty meters tall and semi-translucent . Runes densely covered it, and it almost looked like a solid door .

“Goodbye!” Mo Nian said a single goodbye to Long Chen before stepping into the spatial door, completely disappearing .

Once Mo Nian faded away, the spatial door also faded . Long Chen’s heart was pounding wildly .

He stealthily clenched his own jade pendant that his parents had left for him . It was his only clue to unraveling the mysteries around his origin .

Tightly clenching that jade pendant, he sensed that as long as he inserted his Spiritual Strength into it, he would immediately be able to find out the truth .

But Long Chen still remembered that huge river that had been cut open by a single expert’s slash . According to his current understanding, only an expert at the Xiantian realm could possibly possess that strength .

Furthermore, that powerful figure had then sacrificed his life, using the Empty Dao Transformation technique to conceal his tracks . Before he had sacrificed himself, he had left behind a single warning for him: if he was unable to stand at the peak of the martial path, then he was not to investigate his origin .

Clenching that jade pendant, Long Chen had an urge to immediately unravel this whole mystery . But there was a voice that came from the depths of his soul that told him if he did activate this jade pendant, he would definitely die .

Only a couple breaths pa.s.sed, yet to Long Chen, they felt like years . In the end, he decided to trust his intuition and put away his jade pendant .

“Wan-er, can you help me out? Go bring back the blood left behind by that huge hand,” said Long Chen .

Tang Wan-er was curious, but she nodded, going over to the edge of the battlefield .

Ling Yun-zi’s sword had injured that huge hand, causing a large drop of blood to land there .

Watching Tang Wan-er’s figure going into the distance, Chu Yao smiled at Long Chen and winked . “This big sister seems to listen to you closely!”

Long Chen blushed in embarra.s.sment . In the monastery, he normally felt closest to Tang Wan-er, so without even thinking about it, he had called out to her .

“Haha, it’s not like I said anything about it . What are you so red for? What are you collecting that blood for?” Chu Yao reached out to hold Long Chen’s hand, laughing .

“Just to make some nice soup . ” Long Chen was relieved that Chu Yao wasn’t actually angry and joked .

“As if anyone would believe that . ” Chu Yao rolled her eyes at Long Chen . Since he didn’t want to say, she wouldn’t force it .

That blood wasn’t Xiantian essence blood, but it did contain Xiantian spiritual qi . To most people, that was essentially useless . But as a pill cultivator with Pill G.o.d memories, that blood was a priceless treasure to Long Chen .

After a moment, Tang Wan-er came back with a large jug half filled with blood .

Surprisingly, that blood hadn’t dissolved into the earth, but had kept the shape of a spherical bead . It had just lain on the ground, releasing a powerful pressure . Long Chen excitedly collected that jug of Xiantian blood .

All of a sudden, Tu Fang’s icy voice rang out:

“We’ve won the battle now, but there’s still one more matter to handle . Who was it that led that Corrupt Elder to Long Chen!”
