Chapter 367: Zhang Moyun (1/2)

The others from Chang'an were shocked to see how casual Xue Wei was with handing over the storage treasures, but upon closer inspection, they noticed that only they were given some storage treasures.

Xue Wei gave nothing to his own team, keeping everything for himself. They could not help but feel odd about this. Why would his companions allow Xue Wei to manage their resources?

But no one said anything. It was as if this was a natural occurrence to them, and that it was as it should be.

”Well then, let us move further into the inner reaches of the summer section of this realm,” Xue Wei said as he put away their part of the loot before he tossed a few resources to his friends.

Bai Tinayi and Luoluo both received a herb called a Soul Reaping Lily. It was a herb that consumed soul power and stored it.

This was one of the most beneficial things for Luoluo and Bai Tianyi that Xue Wei had in his storage treasures, and he carelessly handed it over.

At the same time, he took out a feather of the Vermilion Bird and gave Hei Gou a Death Stalker. Death Stalker was a herb that was different from other herbs. It had the aura of death and would be able to allow Hei Gou to increase the element of death in his attacks.

Lin Xiao was given some herbs, which focused on Qi cultivation. Although he had touched upon a dao as a Diviner, he was not able to use a particular trait of an element to his Qi just yet.

There were five primary elements. Earth, Metal, Water, Wood, and Fire. Apart from these, there were also a lot of mutated elements, such as death and darkness, as Hei Gou had touched upon.

There was also wind, lightning, light, and so on, as long as one could think about it, then it existed. However, all of them originated from the five primary elements, and these five elements were the strongest of them all, had an overwhelming power and purity that other elements could night fight against.

Elements were connected to Qi. Qi was able to be pure and without an element, but it could also have the assistance from an element, elevating the strength.

Above Qi was the daos. The daos were unable to be easily explained. A dao was a path that one specialized in. There were thousands upon thousands of daos in the world.

When one began to cultivate a dao, they were able to transcend the regular cultivation. Their energy would no longer be mainly controlled by Qi but by a Dao.

Dao was the intent of a path. The dao of the sword meant that one now controlled the energy of a sword. It was no longer just pure Qi.

Xue Wei had not managed to understand a dao just yet. It was not before one had transcended the Saint Realm that one would begin comprehending a dao.

But he did have an elemental affinity to his Qi. Usually, elemental affinities would come when one turned into the Saint Realm or if someone had a sudden breakthrough in one's strength, which could unlock the elemental affinity.

Just like the mutation for Hei Gou, or Xue Wei's sudden boost in strength.

A flying ship appeared in the sky, and Xue Wei boarded it before the others followed.

While his friends were now used to this method of transport, the people from Chang'an were deeply shocked, even more, shocked when they realized that essence stones fueled it.

Essence stones were immensely precious back in Chang'an. There were not many mines that produced them, and most of these mines were located deep within danger zones, governed by Primordial Beasts.

As such, essence stones were very hard to get their hands on, but now this Xue Wei was using them for the sake of transport! Such a waste!

Although they were shocked, no one mentioned anything about it. This was Xue Wei's matter; they had no right to complain about it.

Instead, they began looking through the storage treasures they had gained. Some had a brilliant harvest, while others were not as lucky.

Wang Xiaoyun was the luckiest of them all. She had gotten a whole mountain of essence stones, pills, and herbs.

Xue Wei had given a quick glance into the storage treasures when he threw them out, and although he had been fair, he also felt that Wang Xiaoyun had the most significant accomplishment in the battle apart from Xue Wei and his friends.

The ship was quiet. Everyone was cultivating slowly, using the resources they had gotten their hands on during the time in the Ascended's Realm.

Although they were more eager to getting cultivation resources than they were of the actual training, they still took the time they had now to cultivate.

The stronger they were, the bigger the chance they had to survive in this hellish place.

Although they had managed to overwhelm the Dongfang and Ouyang families somewhat easily, the truth was that it was not as simple as it had seemed.

Dongfang and Ouyang families had given up on fighting back the moment they knew that they were against a Sovereign Beast, alongside his cultivation base is higher than theirs.

They had thought it would be a big group of cultivators against a small group of five people, but then it had proven to be completely different.

Not only were the five experts much stronger than they had expected, but they also had the support of ten other experts, all of which were highly ranked too.

The Ouyang and Dongfang families were amongst the weakest in the eight great families. Although they were still renowned, they were nothing when compared to the top family, the Nangong family.

Apart from the Nangong family, the other five families also had their own strengths.

The Guan family was known for their explosive battle ability. Although they could not fight a prolonged battle, they could explode with strength, unlike any other.

Even the Nangong Family would have problems dealing with the Guan Family if they ignited their bloodline.

The top three families in the five great families were no laughing matter. If Xue Wei and the others met with just one of the top three families, they would have no chance of survival.

This was after they had teamed up with Wang Xiaoyun and the Chang'an team.

So even though they could handle the weaker groups and teams, they could not easily take on the true hegemons of this world.
