Chapter 268: Great Harvest
Ning Qi agreed to have the Niu Man and several demons follow him to break the formation, which immediately made the demons overjoyed.
The demons previously thought that Ning Qi was only as famous as Niu Man, but after breaking the formation and hearing about him killing Chu Xiaotian, they instantly regarded Ning Qi as a monstrous existence.
Based on what they saw, they knew that Ning Qi far surpassed Wu Dao, who was known as unparalleled in formations in the Southern True Domain, in the art of formations.
Chu Xiaotian had the strongest primordial spirit among the heavenly prides and specialized in primordial spirit attacks. Ning Qi was able to kill Chu Xiaotian without suffering any harm himself.
Although the demons did not witness the battle, they speculated that Ning Qi’s attainment in the primordial spirit path was likely stronger than Chu Xiaotian’s.
Of the five great heavenly prides, each had their own strengths. Wu Dao and Chu Xiaotian were among them based on their strengths, and Ning Qi did not originally have a place.
However, Ning Qi had now clearly surpassed both of them. If the heavenly pride rankings were to be redone, Ning Qi would absolutely be the undisputed number one.
Therefore, the demons understood that a monstrous talent like Ning Qi did not actually require their following.
Their following him was, in fact, a great benefit to them.
Moreover, having accepted all the spiritual blood from the Hundred Demon Palace had already benefited them greatly. They were already indebted to him, so they might as well owe him a little more.
Niu Man and the other demons, knowing what Ning Qi and the others needed, decided to repay him by having the Ox Demon Upper Sect assist the Boundless Sword Sect in confronting the Northern Profound Upper Sect.
The demons all had significant backgrounds within the Ox Demon Upper Sect, and Niu Man was the only son of the Ox Demon Upper Sect’s Sect Leader, so convincing the Ox Demon Upper Sect would not be a problem.
Afterwards, with Ning Qi leading and Niu Man accompanying him, the group of nine humans and six demons quickly headed towards the palace in front of them.
In a short while, they arrived before a palace named Shaoyang Palace.
Surprisingly, this Shaoyang Palace was not located in the rear; Ning Qi and the others could even hear the fluctuations of combat from palaces further ahead.
Yet, the grand doors of Shaoyang Palace were tightly shut, and no one seemed to be inquiring about it, which was extremely peculiar.
“Brother Niu, what do you think?”
Niu Man, having cultivated to this point, was naturally not foolish.
His primordial spirit scanned the surroundings and then fell upon Shaoyang Palace. He immediately patted his bull’s head and said:
“Brother Ning, the restrictions on this Shaoyang Palace are even more resilient than those on the palaces in front. It’s not that the people who came earlier didn’t consider it, but they couldn’t break through the restrictions, so they gave up.”
“I suspect there must be a great treasure inside this Shaoyang Palace. What do you all think?”
Niu Man looked at the others. After a brief moment of thought, everyone agreed.
Having all come to the Golden Heavenly Tomb, what everyone wanted most was to enter the Golden Treasure Hall situated on the cloud tops at the very rear; it undoubtedly contained the most valuable items in the entire Golden Heavenly Tomb.
Although they wanted to try breaking into Shaoyang Palace, their gazes were also drawn to that Golden Treasure Hall.
It was unclear if the tomb’s master had intentionally designed it this way, with the Golden Treasure Hall suspended behind all the other palaces, allowing everyone to clearly see its appearance.
And now, three figures had already ascended the steps before the Golden Treasure Hall.
Ning Qi and Niu Man recognized the three as Fu Chen, Wu Dao, and Ren Zong.
They leisurely ascended the steps, each wanting to be the first to reach the interior of the Golden Treasure Hall.
However, endless golden light transformed into divine spears and shot down. The three displayed their respective abilities, resisting with all their might, and each step they took appeared incredibly difficult.
Niu Man rubbed his chin, a shrewd smile appearing on his bull-like face. He said:
“Brother Ning, no one has entered the Golden Treasure Hall yet. Look, even Fu Chen and the other two are struggling to move forward.”
“Moreover, their actions have alerted quite a few people, and many have already followed. To compete for the greatest opportunity, it will surely become a battlefield.”
“If we rush there, not to mention whether we can get in, we’d also spend a lot of time breaking through various restrictions. Although we’d have a slight head start, we’d be clearing the way for others and even have to guard against others.”
“I think, rather than competing for the right to enter the Golden Treasure Hall now, why don’t we break into this Shaoyang Palace that no one is paying attention to?”
Niu Man’s words struck a chord with everyone. Even Ning Qi glanced at him with surprise, finding Niu Man to be more intelligent than he had imagined.
Thus, Ning Qi nodded slightly and said, “Alright, we will break into this Shaoyang Palace while also keeping an eye on the situation at the Golden Treasure Hall.”
…
In front of the Golden Treasure Hall, the spiritual steps were the same number as those required to ascend the Heavenly Palace before, a total of nine hundred and ninety-nine steps.
Fu Chen walked alone on the wide spiritual steps. His steps were extraordinary; with each landing, he seemed to be stepping on a point of weak attack.
Endless golden energy from above formed divine spears and arrows that shot towards him, but where they landed, they were far less perilous than they appeared.
He wielded his blood-red saber, blocking all the attacking golden light and shattering them one by one.
Not far away, Ren Zong and Wu Dao teamed up, their progress on the spiritual steps comparable to Fu Chen’s.
Since they teamed up, their coordination had become increasingly proficient. One was enveloped in stellar spiritual power, while the other set up formations at will.
However, they were greatly astonished that Fu Chen alone could keep pace with their combined efforts.
“Fu Chen, why don’t you come over to us? How about the three of us proceed together?” Ren Zong invited him proactively.
However, Fu Chen smiled and suddenly said, “If I join you, how will the spoils of the three of us be divided?”
Ren Zong and Wu Dao exchanged glances. Ren Zong said, “After all, you are alone. How about this: you get twenty percent?”
Fu Chen snorted coldly and said:
“Forget it, I’m used to being alone and have no experience cooperating with others. It’s most comfortable for me to maintain my own rhythm.”
Was he kidding? Twenty percent?
Was he being looked down upon just because he was a rogue cultivator?
If Fu Chen hadn’t had the guidance of his pocket grandpa, Wei Wu Ya, he would have been willing to go with the two of them.
But with Wei Wu Ya’s guidance, although he appeared to be exerting the same effort as them, he actually didn’t expend much energy dealing with the attacks.
Furthermore, he was certain to obtain a major treasure in the Golden Heavenly Tomb.
For Fu Chen to break this situation, was he an idiot to resist with his cultivation like the two of them and then join them, with the spoils not under his control?
Who would be willing to do that!
What’s more, as the person who opened the Golden Heavenly Tomb, Fu Chen knew that the restrictions of the Profound True Secret Realm were about to be lifted. Joining their team now might make it difficult to escape later.
Hearing this, Ren Zong’s expression stiffened, and Wu Dao beside him also looked displeased.
They were all among the heavenly prides. Earlier, they had heard that Fu Chen was repelled by Ning Qi, the Immortal Seed from the Boundless Sword Sect in the Northern Xuan Region, and thus felt Fu Chen did not deserve to be ranked among the heavenly prides.
But now, seeing that he could keep pace with them alone, they had decided to recruit him. Yet, he was unwilling?
Was twenty percent not enough?
However, it was not appropriate to confront him now; they would deal with the Golden Treasure Hall first.
As the three ascended ninety-nine spiritual steps, a commotion arose from behind them.
Several true disciples from other sects arrived and immediately followed.
Ren Zong and Wu Dao’s expressions worsened.
They were like pioneers clearing the path, and those behind them were proceeding with much greater ease along the path they had forged.
However, they had already reaped considerable rewards from the palaces below and now only wished to obtain great treasures from the Golden Treasure Hall, so they had to press ahead.
Fortunately, they had not completely removed the obstacles on the spiritual steps, and a lot of golden divine light still swept towards those behind.
Wu Dao suddenly said to Ren Zong, “I’ll use formations to transfer more of it to these guys behind us!”
Ren Zong smiled, “Good, let’s not let them take advantage of us!”
Instantly, the crowd that had followed from below suddenly found that the incoming golden divine light had inexplicably increased.
In a flash, their speed in ascending the spiritual steps slowed considerably.
The crowd was bewildered, merely thinking it was a test of ascending the spiritual steps.
Their cognition was not wrong; however, there was a test every ninety-nine steps.
Nine hundred and ninety-nine steps, with a total of ten different tests.
Fu Chen noticed their small actions and remained silent, as it was beneficial to him anyway.
He also glanced down. From a high vantage point, one should be able to look down on all mountains.
But to his dismay, upon ascending these spiritual steps, he could only see the situation on the steps themselves.
The scenes within the palaces below were as if veiled by a layer of mist, and he could no longer see them clearly.
“The master of the Golden Heavenly Tomb was indeed thorough. If one could overlook the palaces below from the spiritual steps, seeing who arrived and which palaces were more important, it would undoubtedly be clear at a glance.”
If they were on the spiritual steps and saw a powerful opponent arrive, they might retreat from the steps.
If they saw certain hidden and important palaces below, they might go down again to open them.
However, the master of the Golden Heavenly Tomb had foreseen everything and prevented this situation, which was also a test for those who dared to ascend the heavenly ladder.
A white-clad figure appeared in Fu Chen’s mind, and he thought to himself:
“I wonder if that Ning Qi has arrived yet? Three of the five heavenly prides have yet to arrive.”
“Niu Man, to obtain all the spiritual blood of the Hundred Demon Palace, will definitely not come so quickly.”
“As for Chu Xiaotian, he has been looking for trouble with Ning Qi. Although he might not be able to defeat Ning Qi, delaying Ning Qi would be beneficial to me…”
“I need to hurry and take some great treasures before slipping away.”
Fu Chen took a step onto the hundred spiritual steps, and suddenly, the golden divine light attacks vanished completely.
Appearing before him was a golden figure in the Nascent Soul Realm, who immediately attacked him.
Behind him, Ren Zong and Wu Dao also discovered what Fu Chen had found earlier.
They too stepped onto the hundred spiritual steps, and immediately, two golden figures attacked them.
The three fought as they continued to climb upwards, but for every ten additional steps they took, another golden figure would appear.
Thus, they understood the pattern and had to resolve the golden figures within a ten-step range before stepping onto the next ten steps.
Otherwise, if they rushed to the final ten steps in one go, the number of golden figures each person would face, added together, would surely be a terrifying number!
Although the three were all heavenly prides, they could not withstand the attacks of so many golden figures.
The main issue was the excessive consumption, and who knew what other trials awaited them at the top?
…
Shaoyang Palace below!
The word “Shaoyang” signifies the rising of yang energy at dawn and dusk, the beginning of life, and the artistic conception of the genesis of heaven and earth and the birth of all things.
Just as Fu Chen and the other two ascended the hundred spiritual steps, Ning Qi and the others finally broke through the restrictions of Shaoyang Palace.
The palace gate opened, and Ning Qi and the others immediately rushed in.
Quite a few cultivators who arrived later passed by, but upon seeing the group’s formation, they immediately left dejectedly, not competing with them for the opportunities within Shaoyang Palace.
With so many palaces here, if it wasn’t a special place, and if they weren’t enemies, fighting with others would simply be a waste of time and other great opportunities.
Opening this Shaoyang Palace consumed a considerable amount of Ning Qi’s energy.
Unlike the Hundred Demon Palace before, the restrictions here were incredibly difficult and complex, making it no wonder that Wu Dao, known for his unparalleled formations, hadn’t stopped here.
This place had thirty-six formation eyes, and they were nested within each other, making it infinitely more powerful than the restrictions of the Hundred Demon Palace.
Even more terrifying was that all the formation eyes were suppressed by treasures!
One formation was similar to the solution for the Hundred Demon Palace, requiring eighteen formation eyes to be resolved with different attributes of spiritual energy and different strengths.
The other formation, however, required different vital essences and primordial spirit power to be resolved.
Therefore, this time, the other true disciples of the Boundless Sword Sect and the demons of the Ox Demon Upper Sect also played important roles.
After the resolution, everyone showed expressions of anticipation.
Such tight guarding of this palace suggested it was undoubtedly extremely important to the entire Golden Heavenly Tomb.
Upon entering, Ning Qi took all the treasures from the formation eyes.
The thirty-six formation eyes yielded a total of eighteen Rule Jades, three Mid-grade Spiritual Treasures, six Incomplete Mid-grade Spiritual Treasures, and nine Low-grade Spiritual Treasures.
Faced with such a harvest, everyone felt as if they had been struck by a pie!
Ning Qi waved his hand generously, giving each person the treasure from the formation eye they had resolved.
Although Ning Qi had integrated the process of breaking the great formation, the others had also contributed significantly. Furthermore, Ning Qi had already gained a lot before, so it was time to share some of the benefits with everyone; he couldn’t keep it all to himself.
Among them, Niu Man and the other demons received three Incomplete Mid-grade Spiritual Treasures, three Low-grade Spiritual Treasures, and six Rule Jades.
The other true disciples of the Boundless Sword Sect received one Mid-grade Spiritual Treasure, two Incomplete Mid-grade Spiritual Treasures, five Low-grade Spiritual Treasures, and eight Rule Jades.
As for the rest, they all went to Ning Qi.
A total of two Mid-grade Spiritual Treasures, one Incomplete Mid-grade Spiritual Treasure, one Low-grade Spiritual Treasure, and four Rule Jades.
“Brother Ning, your generosity is too great. Are you really giving these to us?”
Niu Man felt dizzy, and the other demons also wore expressions of disbelief, holding the items Ning Qi gave them as if in a dream.
Although they hadn’t received a complete Mid-grade Spiritual Treasure, three Incomplete Mid-grade Spiritual Treasures were priceless, not to mention the other items.
Combined, these items likely surpassed the wealth of all the elders and disciples of the Ox Demon Upper Sect, excluding their magnate and Sect Leader.
They felt that if they were to distribute them, they would definitely not be willing to give away so much.
Even the people from the Boundless Sword Sect held the items Ning Qi gave them, completely unable to believe it.
“Of course. Are Brother Niu and the others unwilling to accept them?”
The demons laughed and cried, subconsciously clutching the items tighter.
Niu Man said, “Since they are already in our hands, we are reluctant to refuse them.”
The White Tiger also said, “Brother Ning, if you ever need anything in the future, just command us. Even if it means going through mountains of knives and seas of fire, we will not flinch!”
The other demons also echoed their agreement.
In this Profound True Secret Realm, before they met Ning Qi, their total gains were less than what they had obtained after meeting him.
The time spent was even more drastically different.
How long had they known Ning Qi? Less than an hour!
The true disciples of the Boundless Sword Sect held the items Ning Qi gave them, still in disbelief.
Qin Minghao and Wang Ye were from Five Elements Peak, so it was fine, but the other six were immensely moved, realizing they would have to follow Senior Brother Ning!
Ning Qi pacified everyone and then looked inside Shaoyang Palace.
What they had just obtained was merely the reward for breaking the formation eyes of Shaoyang Palace; there were other treasures inside.
This Shaoyang Palace had a different layout from the Hundred Demon Palace; inside, there was only one grand hall!
Ning Qi and the others entered the hall and found a key radiating golden light enshrined within.
The group didn’t understand the key’s purpose, but they knew that since it was enshrined in Shaoyang Palace, it couldn’t be ordinary. It might play a significant role in the Golden Heavenly Tomb!
Niu Man said, “Brother Ning, please take this key. We absolutely dare not ask for anything more.”
The other demons also said:
“Yes, Brother Ning, we didn’t contribute much, only played a small role under your guidance. If anyone dares to covet this key, we will be the first to stop them.”
Ning Qi smiled.
“Alright, then I will accept it. Once I find its use, if there are further gains, I will share some with all of you.”
He had known long ago that there was an exotic treasure within Shaoyang Palace, likely related to the most important item in the Golden Heavenly Tomb.
Now that he had given everyone many things, even if he kept this exotic treasure for himself, the others would not be displeased.
“No, no, no!” Niu Man quickly said.
“If we keep taking things from Senior Brother Ning, we really don’t know how to repay you.”
The founder of their Ox Demon Upper Sect was a Green Ox that achieved the Dao, inheriting from some peerless master, and understood the principle of knowing when to stop making profits best.
Therefore, their sect has a good reputation in the North and South Regions, and their disciples are mostly straightforward individuals, with few disciples harboring malicious intentions.
What Ning Qi gave him now had long surpassed their imagination; how could they dare to covet anything else?
If it were something obtained through one’s own strength, then so be it.
Afterwards, everyone walked out of Shaoyang Palace.
Looking up, on the Heavenly Palace, Fu Chen and the others had ascended several dozen more steps.
“Senior Brother Ning, are we heading to the Golden Heavenly Tomb?” Jiang Qingxue asked.
“Let’s wait a bit longer. We’ll follow after they’ve ascended to the seven hundredth step. Brother Niu, what do you and the others think?”
Niu Man responded, “I think it’s feasible.”
His ox-like face suddenly showed a playful smile, and he added, “Those guys are probably still wondering why we haven’t shown up yet?”
“Don’t they know where we are?”
Niu Man replied, “After I came to this place, I let Brother White Tiger take a look. Once on that heavenly ladder, he couldn’t see the situation below.”
“So that’s how it is. That makes things easier.”
Afterwards, Ning Qi and the others broke through the palace and formations below, and gained quite a few treasures.
The only pity was that the palace complex behind this Golden Heavenly Tomb was completely inaccessible by flight. It was winding and intricate, like a maze, making it impossible to know how many areas were hidden within, making it difficult to tread.
They never again found a palace with such terrifying restrictions as Shaoyang Palace.
Approximately one hour passed.
Ning Qi and the others looked up. Fu Chen and a few others had just reached seven hundred steps on the Heavenly Stair.
The moment they stepped onto it, stone soldiers appeared on the heavenly ladder, each clad in armor and forming a formation to attack the group.
A casual strike could shatter the void, terrifyingly powerful.
“Alright, it’s time for us to ascend the Heavenly Stairs.”
……
Not long after, Ning Qi led the people from the two sects onto the Heavenly Ladder.
As soon as they appeared, they immediately drew the attention of everyone on the Sky Ladder.
Because they had the experience of others treading before them, and their numbers were sufficient, and the two sects cooperated flawlessly, Ning Qi and the others ascended the heavenly stairs extremely quickly.
However, in just a few breaths, he ascended the hundred spirit steps.
On the hundred steps ahead, people had already died on the heavenly ladder, and in the second area, the number of deceased was even greater.
Blood stained the jade steps red, and a golden figure appeared, stepping on the blood, blocking the way.
But the congregation formed an array to respond, and it only took half an incense stick’s worth of time to reach the third area.
…
Ahead, Ren Zong and his two companions destroyed the stone soldiers that appeared before them. Upon seeing Ning Qi and Niu Man arrive, they felt a sense of crisis.
Especially seeing the two sects join forces, and with so many people, he felt even more pressure.
Fu Chen’s body flickered with blood energy, suddenly transforming into an afterimage and charging straight upwards.
Seeing this, Ren Zong and Wu Dao were unwilling to be left behind and immediately unleashed their full strength, chasing rapidly.
To the astonishment of both of them, Fu Chen seemed somewhat strange; the stone soldiers on this heavenly ladder’s jade steps seemed unable to lock onto him, allowing him to charge forward without obstruction.
“What’s going on?”
Wu Dao narrowed his eyes and said, “Fu Chen probably has a secret treasure on him. He was reluctant to use it before, only taking it out at the very end.”
“Damn it, no wonder he didn’t want to team up with us, it’s because of this.”
“Senior Brother Ren, there’s no need to be angry. I also have a plan to deal with this.”
Only to see Wu Dao take out a complete set of magic arrays from his body. With a casual toss, a layer of mana barrier immediately covered the two of them, and the stone soldiers on the Heavenly Ladder Jade Steps immediately lost all sense of their existence.
Ren Zong was overjoyed.
The two pursued again.
Below, Ning Qi and the others noticed the anomaly on Fu Chen and the other two’s bodies.
Niu Man was startled, “Not good, those guys all have exotic treasures, they’ll get there first.”
The congregation quickly accelerated and pursued.
Only Ning Qi remained calm. He suddenly stopped, as if sensing something.
“Brother Ning, what’s wrong with you?”
Ning Qi took out the key he had obtained from Shaoyang Palace again. The golden key flickered with light, enveloping Ning Qi, and he immediately felt his body lighten.
Immediately, a golden cloud miraculously emerged beneath his feet, carrying him upward.
Niu Man and the others were dumbfounded at the sight.
Does the key to Shaoyang Palace have something to do with the Heaven Ascending Ladder?
Ning Qi grasped the key and pointed at the crowd. The crowd also felt a lightness in their bodies, and the pressure from the Heavenly Ladder’s jade steps seemed to disappear.
However, golden clouds did not rise beneath their feet, but no one was concerned about that at the moment.
Ning Qi arrived at the front, and they immediately followed behind. Golden light enveloped them, and the Stairway to Heaven was no longer blocked.
And so, in an instant, the Heavenly Ladder before the Golden Treasure Hall could no longer stop the congregation.
And besides them, the other cultivators climbing the Sky-Ascending Ladder, upon seeing this, almost couldn’t help but fall from the ladder.
They’re all climbing the Heavenly Ladder for the first time, why does it feel like they’re walking through their own back door?
The congregation beat their chests and stomped their feet, full of anger.
Someone wanted to follow behind Ning Qi and the others, wanting to see if they wouldn’t be blocked by the heavenly ladder either.
But relentless attacks struck, instantly killing it.
Suddenly, it made others who had the same idea lose the thought of trying.
The congregation could only watch their retreating figures and continue climbing.
Only after Ning Qi and everyone else’s figures disappeared on the celestial ladder did everyone suddenly discover that the restrictions on the celestial ladder seemed to be gone.
I don’t know where the problem lies, but in short, it’s a good thing. Everyone immediately rushed forward, afraid of falling behind and being beaten to it by the crowd.
As for what happened behind him, Ning Qi and the others were temporarily unaware.
They had reached the highest point of the Golden Heavenly Tomb. The Golden Treasure Hall was incomparably vast. The moment everyone stepped onto the treasure hall, they immediately felt insignificant like dust, as if they had arrived at the end of heaven and earth. It was truly bizarre.
However, upon realizing this was a territory created by a Dao Integration Realm Limit Old Ancestor, everyone found it unsurprising.
Within the treasure hall.
Suddenly, an astonishing fluctuation was transmitted, and Ning Qi and the others immediately broke in.
As soon as they entered, they immediately saw Fu Chen snatch a jade slip cultivation method from the hands of a golden statue.
It flashed with golden light, and looking at it, one could feel its extraordinary nature.
Slightly inferring, the cultivation methods displayed in the Golden Treasure Hall, besides the Dao Integration Profound Technique, certainly couldn’t be anything else.
Perhaps it’s the cultivation method of the owner of this Golden Heavenly Tomb, that old ancestor at the Dao Integration Realm Limit.
Upon seeing Fu Chen succeed, two cold shouts immediately rang out!
“Fu Chen, put down the cultivation method.”
“Leave behind the cultivation method, or the Southern True Domain will no longer have a place for you!”
Wu Dao and Ren Zong’s shouts rang out one after another.
Fu Chen was about to curse!
Inside the treasure hall, with so many things, are you going to stare at the cultivation method I’m holding?
But he also knew that the strongest in the North and South Regions was at most in the Integration Realm.
Those magnates had been trapped in the Integration Realm for who knows how many years. They couldn’t see the path ahead and prayed for the day they could step into the Dao Integration Realm.
For the two regions, as long as one magnate from the top-tier Upper Sect can step into the Dao Integration Realm, they can immediately dominate the north and south, even unify the North and South Regions, and it is extremely likely that the glory of the Xuanzhen Region will be recreated.
Therefore, the Dao Integration Profound Technique is of such great importance, how could it not be fought over?
But it was impossible to let Fu Chen let go; he quickly scanned the items in the hands of other statues within the treasure hall.
There was a pill spewing auspicious clouds, emitting seven-colored treasure light. Looking at it, one could tell it was absolutely a miraculous spirit pill usable only by those in the Body Integration Realm.
There is a high-grade spiritual treasure sword, on which water and fire spew forth, forming a cycle. The two colors flash alternately.
Water and fire do not tolerate each other, but they coexist peacefully on this sword, which is truly wondrous.
In the hand of another statue was a colossal Rule Jade, incredibly smooth and perfectly round, with only a single color on it!
Monochromatic Rule Jade, extremely rare in the Profound True Secret Realm!
Although he didn’t know what rules were inside, Fu Chen knew that anything displayed here was definitely not an ordinary item.
Its foot was as large as a winnowing basket, and it was feared that as soon as it was obtained, it could supply several people with cultivation, allowing them to immediately comprehend the rules upon it and step into the Void Dao Realm.
There were still many, many things that Fu Chen didn’t have time to look at.
Because a starry illusionary image appeared around Ren Zong, it actually attacked him.
Then Wu Dao conjured a magic array, which flew directly towards him.
Fu Chen felt immense heartache. If he hadn’t wasted so much time before, and if the secret treasure he used didn’t have a short duration, only usable on the final heavenly ladder, how could he have only managed to snatch the Dao Integration Profound Technique!
Fu Chen’s figure flickered, as if teleporting, and appeared before another statue.
He reached for the Water Fire Dao Sword in the statue’s hand, wanting to take another treasure.
“You dare, you scoundrel!”
Ren Zong and Wu Dao roared in unison!
They didn’t know how Fu Chen dodged their attacks, but Fu Chen still wanted to take another spiritual treasure, how could they allow it.
Fortunately, that High-grade Spiritual Treasure Daoist Sword seemed to possess a will of its own, and before Fu Chen’s hand could get close, it struck towards him.
Fu Chen was greatly startled and teleported away again to dodge.
“Chen’er, hurry and go, that Ning Qi has also arrived!”
The voice of the pocket grandpa Wei Wu Ya sounded in his mind, and Fu Chen’s heart pounded wildly.
Seeing Fu Chen’s eyes redden, and still showing a hint of hesitation, Wei Wu Ya continued to urge him on:
“Taking this Dao Integration Profound Technique is enough. Don’t forget, the restrictions of the Profound True Secret Realm are about to be lifted. If you don’t leave now, given the attraction of the Dao Integration Profound Technique to the Body Integration Realm Magnates of the North and South Regions, they will definitely target you and search you out, digging up the ground three feet!”
Fu Chen gritted his teeth and glanced at Ning Qi.
In the end, his figure dissipated like smoke within this Golden Treasure Hall.
Ren Zong and Wu Dao’s attack fell upon Fu Chen’s illusionary image, shattering it, and the two were enraged.
“Damn it, what does Fu Chen have on him that he got away!”
The two were incredibly angry; the Dao Integration Profound Technique was actually taken by Fu Chen!
Wu Dao was a bit better off; the sect he came from was not strong and didn’t have a Body Integration Realm magnate guarding it, but Ren Zong felt he had lost the greatest opportunity. As the First True Disciple of the Heavenly Star Upper Sect, he knew how important the Dao Integration Profound Technique was to the sect.
If he could obtain it, then their Heavenly Star Upper Sect would absolutely leap to become the biggest sect in the North and South Regions!
Of course, Wu Dao also had some regrets.
If he obtained it, even if he couldn’t keep it, he could earn a great favor, and perhaps even become a direct disciple of a Body Integration Realm Giant.
The two naturally also saw the arrival of Ning Qi and the others.
Fu Chen was no longer there, and they didn’t know where he had gone in pursuit, so they naturally focused their attention on the Water Fire Dao Sword.
With the vision of the two, they could see that this sword was not a simple fusion of water and fire attributes, but possessed complete Water and Fire Rules.
Its preciousness is second only to the Dao Integration Profound Technique.
After all, Void Dao Realm experts only comprehend one rule.
And above the Water Fire Dao Sword, they mutually generate and restrain; even a Body Integration Realm magnate could not create such a Spiritual Treasure.
Therefore, the two simultaneously attacked, reaching for that Daoist Sword.
However, that Daoist Sword, just like it did to Fu Chen before, lightly swept away, dissolving both of their attacks.
The attacks of the two were too weak for the Daoist Sword.
Possessing the power of two rules has already surpassed the scope of experts in the Void Dao Realm. However, the Water Fire Dao Sword is ultimately a Spiritual Treasure, not something a person controls.
They attacked multiple times, but could do nothing to him.
Niu Man was also heartbroken by Fu Chen’s departure.
As for Ning Qi, from the moment he entered, upon seeing that Fu Chen was holding the Dao Integration Profound Technique, he didn’t pay as much attention as Ren Zong and the others.
As for that Daoist Sword possessing the power of water and fire rules, Ning Qi’s heart was deeply moved.
If he could obtain it, he would not only be able to smelt the Origin of Sword Rules in the True Martial Realm, but he would also be able to smelt the Water and Fire Rule Origin.
Once he integrates the three Rule Origins, his strength will definitely soar, and he will completely establish a firm foothold in the Rule Realm.
Seeing that multiple attacks failed to take down the Water Fire Dao Sword, and more and more people were breaking into the Golden Treasure Hall.
The people from Ren Zong and Wu Dao’s two sects also arrived at this place.
Ren Zong directly attacked, suppressed the other rogue cultivators, and had the sect’s true disciples block the main entrance.
Today, within this Golden Treasure Hall, the remaining items must be distributed based on strength!
