Chapter 1272 - Uproar (2/2)

The Great Thousand World, Myriad Islands Continent.

This was a unique continent formed by several islands. These islands had a greater mass than the other islands, and the largest island was comparable to those smaller continents.

At the center of the Myriad Islands Continent, a large island was surrounded by a bamboo grove. Clouds hung above the island, and it was packed with spiritual energy. This was a precious cultivation place.

If one were to look at it carefully, one would notice that the bamboo was bright like jade and exuded a nice, refreshing scent. By simply smelling it, one would calm down, and one's spiritual energy would be revitalized.

This type of green bamboo was known as Spiritual Jade Bamboo. It could be made into a Spiritual Jade Stick that was lit during cultivation. It could enhance cultivation and prevent one from going into obsession.

This was a rare treasure to most of the cultivators. One Spiritual Jade Stick could fetch a price of about 10,000 drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid. This island was filled with Spiritual Jade Bamboo, and if one were to exchange it for Sovereign Spiritual Liquid, it would fetch at least 1,000,000,000… This amount was so large that even the top forces would not be able to come up with it.

Generally speaking, many people would be eyeing such a precious land, especially on the Myriad Islands Continent. However, with the Complete Earthly Sovereigns around, none of the forces had the audacity to eye the Spiritual Jade Island.

The Spiritual Jade Island was owned by one of the five ancient clans in the Great Thousand World. It was the Budur Ancient Clan's estate! The Budur Ancient Clan had a strong base, and even the top forces with Heavenly Sovereigns dared not trifle with them.

The Spiritual Jade Island was thus the safest place in the Myriad Islands Continent. Any forces who visited this island were respectful and showed no sign of covetousness or animosity.

They knew that even if they were well-known in the Myriad Islands Continent, they were nothing in the eyes of the Budur Ancient Clan. If the Burdur Ancient Clan was enraged and sent their Heavenly Sovereign to deal with them, their forces would be immediately eliminated.

…

Swoosh!

A spiritual light suddenly came down from the heavens and moved toward the center of the Spiritual Jade Island. A hill was situated there with plenty of greenery that made it look captivating.

Ancient stone towers loomed around the bamboo grove, and a figure landed on a stone tower that was deep within. An elder robed in gray sat cross-legged under the stone tower. There was not much spiritual energy around him, but indistinctly, an obscure aura emanated from him. The figure landed before the elder and kneeled down on one knee. The elder remained still and did not open his eyes. A voice then came out from his abdomen. ”Did I not tell you not to disturb me when I am cultivating?”

The man kneeling before the elder shivered when he heard it. He immediately said, ”Lord, we have found the perpetrator who has been listed on our clan's Wanted List.”

Bang!

A horrifying spiritual energy burst out from the elder's body. He suddenly opened his eyes, looking furious. He stared at the man and asked, ”The perpetrator stated on the Wanted List? Is he the one that the First Elder talked about?”

”It should be!” The man nodded and immediately waved his hand. A Spiritual Jade flew out and formed a Spiritual Energy Screen. On the screen, Mu Chen and Ling Zhanzi were in a fierce fight.

When Mu Chen took out the Crystal Pagoda, spiritual light burst out from the gray-robed elder's eyes. His face twitched, and after a while, he took a long breath and said in amazement, ”That… that is the Holy Pagoda!”

He was amazed, as the Holy Pagoda was rarely seen in the Budur Ancient Clan. Only the most talented ones had the opportunity to cultivate it. Among the younger generation in the Budur Ancient Clan, only one person had cultivated the Holy Pagoda, and he was the Holy Son. Many of the elders in their clan had wanted to groom the Holy Son to take on the position of the next Clan Leader.

The youth on the screen who had cultivated the Holy Pagoda was not the Holy Son!

”This guy looks unfamiliar, and he does not belong to our clan. However, he has cultivated the Holy Pagoda, thus he must possess our bloodline. I believe that he must be the perpetrator mentioned by the First Elder.”

The elder squinted. There were many sects in the Budur Ancient Clan, and he belonged to the sect of the Holy Son. They had been trying to get the Holy Son to become the next Clan Leader of the Budur Ancient Clan, and once they succeeded, they would be in control of the clan.

This guy who had appeared out of nowhere had cultivated the Holy Pagoda. Although he was a perpetrator and had no status, the elder did not want to see any changes to their plan.

As he thought of it, he suddenly looked ferocious, and the ambient temperature immediately dropped. He waved his hand, and his cold voice resounded in the area. ”Get the Dragon-Elephant Protector…”
