Chapter 447 - The Six Gentlemen of Returning Ruins (1/2)

"Other than Cusia, I still have a few good brothers."

Husan Weng was talking non-stop, "Stonecrop, Black Nightshade, Bupleurum and Angelica, they all stayed not far away from here. We six are all the strong and heroic figures in Returning Ruins, the others know us as the Six Gentlemen of the Returning Ruins, everyone knows about us! Cusia remedies all sickness, Stonecrop revives the dead, Black Nightshade resolves all the poison, and Angelica increases one's blood essence. Just go around and ask, everyone will tell you how great we are…"

Zhong Yue followed behind the huge carrot while taking out Yan Zhen's secret realms which he had condensed into five light bracelets.

Surging his psyche into the secret realms and checking them one by one, Zhong Yue could tell just how strong Yan Zhen's five secret realms were. Totem patterns continuously flowed at the end of the secret realms, reinforcing the dimensional stability so that they were more resistant to collapse.

In comparison to Zhong Yue's secret realms, Yan Zhen's secret realms were smaller and weaker. But Yan Zhen had higher durability and superior stability compared to Zhong Yue.

No wonder he was so strong, to be able to fight me head-on. It's all because of his secret realms, that's why he could condense and shrink his Avatar to only 16 feet tall! In comparison, my Yuan Shen secret realms are indeed lacking.

Zhong Yue inspected them carefully and thought, Strengthening the Yuan Shen secret realms is also a way to improve. This demon expert deserves my respect. Although I was the victor, in the end, there are still things I should still learn from him.

Strengthening the secret realms with the totem patterns and Yan Zhen's method of using the heaven and earth's force to cast the Avatar were some things he would have to learn as well.

Although Zhong Yue won in the end, Zhong Yue never held his opponent in contempt at all, giving him the respect that an opponent like him deserved.

However, no matter how hard Zhong Yue searched through the Yuan Shen secret realms, he couldn't find a single clue about using the force of heaven and earth at all.

Can the way to achieve that only found through searching through the souls of others and extract the knowledge out forcibly?

Zhong Yue frowned, if only he had known how to use the force of heaven and earth, he wouldn't be so severely injured even if he had met with the young gods like Yan Zhen!

However, although he knew of the technique's existence, he couldn't acquire it.

Force of the heaven and earth, what is it linked to?

Zhong Yue was puzzled, he continued searching through Yan Zhen's Yuan Shen secret realms. Suddenly, he let out a surprised gasp as he took out a divine weapon from the Yuan Shen secret realms. It was a godly drum whose drumhead was made from the skin of a Kui Long god!

Zhong Yue also had a piece of Kui Long skin. Thus, he was able to notice and recognized the same material in Yan Zhen's secret realms. However, what Zhong Yue had was only from an Imminent Deity Kui Long expert, while this godly drum was made from a Kui Long god's skin!

This is the celestial race's treasure, did any celestial experts die by Yan Zhen's hands? How strong, being able to kill even a Kui Long expert with a divine weapon. No wonder he had the appellation of a young god!

Zhong Yue praised in his heart. The totem patterns on the Kui Long's skin was not a stranger to him. After all, they were all the Immortal Body totem patterns. This drum was most probably crafted by a Kui Long god, passed over to his disciples so that they could help him search for the Peaches of Immortality. Yet, who knew it would end up in Zhong Yue's hands.

I can use this drum, but the drum's master is a living Kui Long god. If I left the Returning Ruins, he would be able to recall the drum with just a thought. Moreover, he could power the drum and kill me without any hassle!

Zhong Yue frowned as he thought, How can I wipe away the Kui Long god's marks…

Zhong Yue's current strength and cultivation allowed him to be able to even wipe away the marks of the Imminent Deity magnates. But this was a god's mark; there was nothing he could do about it.

Throwing it into Xin Huo's lamp can wipe off the god's mark, but the divine drum will be destroyed as well. There is just no point in doing so….

Zhong Yue surged out both his arcane energy and psyche, refining the Kui Long divine drum while, on the other hand, strengthening his Yuan Shen secret realms. Using the totem patterns of the [Celestial Demon Tai Chi Art] and infusing them into his Yuan Shen secret realms, he augmented their durability and stability.

The stronger the secret realms, the more energy they could contain. And he had six secret realms. If he could raise them to the same level as Yan Zhen's secret realms. The benefits and advantages he would acquire would be far greater than what Yan Zhen was ever able to get!

Furthermore, his Yuan Shen secret realms were wider compared to Yan Zhen's. Surely, his strength would improve to beyond what most would expect!

Even one Yan Zhen alone was enough to show me how much I have to improve by. I can only imagine what I will learn from battling the other young gods! Zhong Yue became filled with a fervid desire to fight.

After some time, Husan Weng led him to the front of a mountain, he slowed down and led him up the mountain. They walked into a dark cave, and after a few moments of walking, a wide and vast space appeared before them. It was a small valley that was, at most, only a few miles long, but it was incredibly beautiful.

The valley was filled with the fragrance of the divine herbs, and a small waterfall was cascading down from the top. The whole place looked just like a paradise.

Zhong Yue was invigorated upon seeing a few godly rays hovering in the sky. There were a few different looking divine herbs sitting on a small altar.

The divine herbs then spotted Husan Weng and Zhong Yue, and they all sprung up from the altar and shouted, "Husan Weng, who is he?"

Husan Weng laughed out loud and leaped out, blocking the only path to the outside world as it said, "A high-quality fertilizer!"

"Fertilizer?" The divine herbs exclaimed curiously in unison.
