Chapter 135: Umm… I Am Just Passing Through (2/2)
As he formed a mudra with his hand and exerted his will, three dots of bright lights flew out from the coffin.
The light faded away and revealed the appearance of the three objects: a dazzling Śarīra, an aromatic fruit with three cloud-like patterns on its round surface, and a pitch-black stone.
These three items were things that Zhao Musheng had desired for a long time. The Śarīra was an extremely precious relic left by an expert from the Mahayana Island after he passed away, while the pitch-black stone was the Death Soul Palace's semi-divine weapon, the Departed Soul Orb.
As for the fruit, it was an extremely valuable seventh grade spirit fruit, the Three Stripes Path-Understanding Fruit. If someone consumed this fruit, he would have a high chance of achieving enlightenment.
In order for Ji Changfeng to activate the Double Calamity Dragon Head Array, he had to rely on numerous treasures to provide sufficient energy. Among the many treasures, Zhao Musheng was only interested in these three objects.
Originally, Zhao Musheng was planning to help the crown prince become the emperor and control him from behind the scenes. However, with Ji Changfeng's interference, all of his plans were ruined. King Yu was demoted and the third prince after obtaining Xiao Meng's support was not someone the crown prince could defeat. Therefore, in simple terms, the conclusion was already foregone.
”Since there's no turning back, I might as well forsake all pretense and obtain some benefits before returning. At the very least… I have to bring the Śarīra.” That was what Zhao Musheng thought.
As Zhao Musheng held the Śarīra in his hand, his eyes became even more benevolent as a warm feeling enveloped his body.
King Yu lost and the crown prince had lost all chances of winning. In the end, the third prince was the winner of this fight over the throne.
The magic array that had encompassed the entire Gate of Heavenly Mystery gradually dissipated and its lights faded away. Snow began to voluminously descend from the sky once more.
”Do you really think you could leave just like that?” Xiao Meng said as he looked at Zhao Musheng, who was about to leave. Zhao Musheng's identity was already revealed. Evidently, he was not only an expert from the sects, but also an extremely powerful expert from Mahayana Island.
However, even if he was an expert from the Mahayana Island, Xiao Meng would never allow him to leave so easily...
”You won't be able to stop me...” Zhao Musheng said as he serenely looked at Xiao Meng.
The corners of Xiao Meng's mouth curled up as the true energy within his body surged. He said, ”How would I know without even trying?”
However, just as true energy surged out from their bodies and they were about to confront each other, a slender figure slowly walked over.
The clear footsteps were extremely conspicuous within the vast Gate of Heavenly Mystery. At least, the gaze of Zhao Musheng, Xiao Meng as well as other people were all attracted by the sound and landed on the figure who was slowly approaching.
The expression on Ji Chengxue's face suddenly became somewhat lively as he stared at the person with a look of incredulity on his face.
Xiao Meng raised his eyebrows and looked at that person in surprise.
Xiao Yanyu and Xiao Xiaolong were both dumbfounded...
”Owner Bu… What is he doing here?” Xiao Yanyu said, wondering whether to laugh or cry.
Zhao Musheng's expression was strange as he looked at the young man standing before him, whose cultivation level was only fourth grade Battle-Spirit. In his eyes, the young man was calm and composed as he walked toward him and actually waved at him before expressionlessly opening his mouth.
”Umm… I am just passing through. I'll leave right after I borrow something from you,” Bu Fang said as he gave Zhao Musheng a glance.
Zhao Musheng was bewildered. ”Borrow? Borrow what?”
Thereafter, Bu Fang raised his hand and pointed toward the fruit with three could-like patterns in Zhao Musheng's hand. He seriously said, ”There, that fruit in your hand.”
