The Rebirth of an Immortal Cultivator
Chapter 463: Getting Lots of Treasures
Jiang Chen opened his eyes, releasing the aura of an Intermediate stage Earth God. The golden energy that enveloped his body enlarged like a flame that grabbed the sky; the wind blew with a sound like the howl of a wolf, giving off a different atmosphere.
Her body underwent changes in the originally dull part of her skin returning to light: her hair blackened; the wrinkles on her face thinned until they completely disappeared. His heavy breathing, smooth back without a hitch.
Jiang Chen took a deep breath with a bright face, and exhaled slowly. He likes the feeling of coming back young.
"Congratulations."
Jiang Chen looked up, he stood up and cupped his hands together with the intention of saluting. "Thank you, it's all because of you. If it wasn't for your help, maybe I would never have been able to break through it."
Mo Lian waved her hand. "No need, I also made a profit inside."
He looked around, then looked up at the sky. "The Holy Land will move in a moment, you better stay here. If we leave now, perhaps we will be blamed for the death of their representatives as well as their disciples."
Jiang Chen looked around looking in, until his gaze caught the red sky that was very far away from here. She looked at it for a while before looking back at Mo Lian, she could guess what was happening there, considering how she was with Mo Lian within the Secret World.
At first, Jiang Chen wanted to return straight after breaking through to the Intermediate stage of the Earth God. But after seeing the battle there, he knew that there would be bad things if he left this place.
Jiang Chen told his students to stay here for a while.
Xiao Shuyu nodded, but she felt that something was wrong. "Teacher, what about the other disciples in the sect? Wouldn't they be in danger?"
Mo Lian waved her hand stopping Xiao Shuyu from asking too far or too hard. "The place there is safe, I've already sent their corpses to various Holy Lands. So, they'll blame each other."
Xiao Shuyu was stunned, she wanted to go back asking about the matter, but swallowed back her words. He already knew this would happen, whoever was weak could enter the Secret World List, then the strong would do anything to exterminate it. But did not expect the Rose Sword Sect to feel it, yet he was also grateful that it was all over.
But from the sound of it, these people had already come even before the Secret World List was announced.
"This problem ..." Xiao Shuyu stopped as Ming Yuyu covered her mouth. He was perplexed, then looking at the sky, there were already many powerful figures that came from the 120 Sacred Lands.
Mo Lian raised her head. He looked at the hundreds of figures that were on top, it made him have neck pain.
"We came because the representative we sent was killed. I want you all to answer honestly, or you all die here!"
Blarr!
Suddenly an explosion came from the sky like raging lightning. The sky blackened like night, all the light dissipated even someone who was trying to give off light, the light was instantly engulfed by the darkness.
Spatial fluctuations appeared in the dark sky, suddenly a blood-red burst of energy appeared in the sky. It swirled around forming a vortex, then saw a pair of legs descending slowly from within it.
Bang out!
The killing pressure that the figure carried dropped everyone that floated in the air.
The figure was wearing a black robe with a hood on its head that hid its identity. A bloody red aura spread with him as the center. Faintly behind him stood a skull figure carrying a huge scythe, the red eyes in the skull's eye sockets emitting an ominous aura, as if capable of engulfing a human soul.
Everyone was unable to withstand the aura, making them all kneel down forcefully, some even to their stomachs and unable to move in the slightest.
"D-Fuck! Pa- Patriarch said the truth. There was a hidden power, perhaps this was what killed the representative of the Tiger Claw Holy Land.
Others might not know, but Hong Xi Ning, Qin Nian and Yun Ning knew who the figure in the sky was. After all, they had already seen a Heavenly Yin Tree that carried a death aura stronger than this, and there was no way they were wrong.
The culprit was beside them, the one who always slept together, bathed together, ate together. It's been together a lot, and it would be strange not to know it.
"Mrs Ren ..." Hong Xi Ning smiled faintly and knelt down following Mo Lian who was pretending to be depressed.
Mo Lian herself had no problem kneeling down, because that figure in the sky was herself, it was not a shameful thing.
Yun Ning clucked in admiration as he leaned against Mo Lian's back. "Darling, your acting was better than Ni'er when she was an actress."
Mo Lian took Yun Ning from her back and hugged her. "Didn't Ni'er teach me to act?"
Yun Ning smiled faintly, but said nothing but leaning against Mo Lian's chest.
The figure in the sky looked at all the creatures below him like ants. "Tiger Claw Sacred Land, Qing Sacred Land, Jade Lake Holy Land..." It kept mentioning all the names of the Holy Lands that had just come.
The representatives of the Holy Land who came, trembled in fear with blood vessels appearing on the surface of their skin. These blood vessels appear not because they are angry, but because of this pressure which forces their blood flow to increase.
The figure's voice sounded hoarse and instantly entered everyone's minds, shaking their minds. From time to time, the aura released would grow stronger and the red aura continued to expand, turning the dark sky into a bloody red.
The temperature dropped slowly, the blizzard fell and froze whatever it touched.
Mo Lian raised her hand to create a barrier.
Jiang Chen helped Mo Lian to increase the strength of the barrier in order to survive this extremely strong storm. He was very worried for the safety of his students, and he knew the figure in the sky was stronger than Mo Lian.
The figure in the sky looked at the representative from the Holy Land. "Submit all your treasures, or the Holy Land will no longer exist in Star Xiang."
"Ka-Kau—"
Bang out!
The figure raised its hand, blasting the body of the person who was shouting into a blood mist. He looked at everyone below him, raising his left hand in front of his chest face down.
"Ta-Holy Land of Tiger Claws! Hand over the Wind Gloves!"
"Holy Land Qing! Hand over the Fire Bow of Pernoa!"
"The Underworld Chamber of Commerce! Hand over the Black Rose Pagoda!"
"Swar Pavilion! Hand over the Double Cold Sword!"
One by one the precious treasures brought began to be handed over. They knew this would bring anger to the Patriarch, but they felt this was better. It was better to get the anger of the Patriarch rather than die here and the Holy Land disappeared from Star Xiang.
In fact, they felt that the Patriarch would be more grateful for their current actions that gave away treasures, and perhaps the descendants of those who were mocking figures in the sky would be annihilated, with the intention to calm his anger.
The black figure in the sky took all the treasures, with his unshakeable gaze from every representative. The red aura he released descended like a stream, surrounding all the representatives.
"Go from here, or death is the gift you get."
The voice came directly in their minds, piercing the mind and soul. This pain makes them roar, cry with blood coming out, eardrums rupture and teeth fall out.
"Go!"
With a limped body, blood seeping from the pores, broken bones and an aging physique, they all rushed away from this place. They want to report what's going on here.
After all the representatives left the place, the figure flew into the blood red vortex. When he entered, the dark sky instantly turned bright blue.
Everything happens suddenly, and when the destruction around it does not exist, many may think this is just an illusion.
Mo Lian removed the barrier and stood up while sighing in relief. He made sure that his wives were fine, to date he still pretended to be worried rather than inviting suspicion.
Jiang Chen regulated his breathing. He was still looking at the sky, he did not expect that there would be a figure stronger than a Late stage Heaven God. "Cultivation is a weightless path without limits. When I was a child, I considered the Heavenly Immortal to be the strongest, then considered the Heaven God to be the strongest and there would be no more power on it. But I'm too naive, there are still many powerful existences out there, which even Late stage Heaven God must prostrate to."
Jiang Chen frowned. He realized something very important. First, the one who killed the representative of the Holy Land was Mo Lian, why did another figure suddenly appear in the sky who said that the Holy Land offended him?
Mo Lian closed her eyes. He checked all of his income after taking out many precious treasures, he could give them to Qin Nian in order to upgrade the Nine Floors Pagoda.
As for Yun Ning, he could give the Frozen Dew Flower to enhance the Ice Element. Hong Xi Ning, he could let Hong Xi Ning understand the Dao Laws of the Heaven God Bone Monster, for Hong Xi Ning's War Domain to increase.
"That's ..." Jiang Chen wanted to pat Mo Lian on the shoulder, but withdrew his hand and clenched it.
Mo Lian opened her eyes, turning to look at Jiang Chen. "What's wrong?" He knew Jiang Chen looked hesitant out of fear. After all, his strength capable of killing Han Shian and Liu Gong was not simple, and Jiang Chen was unable to bear it.
But, Mo Lian did not know if Jiang Chen knew if the figure in the sky was his other self. However, it should have known since he had already said it earlier about killing Han Shian, Liu Gong and the others.
Jiang Chen sent out a voice transmission: "That figure, is that you?"
Mo Lian nodded her head in response to that question.
"I don't feel any strange energy from you, why can you have that kind of power?"
Mo Lian smiled and replied, "Physical bring. You should know, right? There are people who are born with an innate physique, and each physique carries a certain power. Some have to practice, some are already from birth to have this kind of power."
Jiang Chen nodded his head. He knew that, but he could not imagine how Mo Lian was born until she could be born with such a terrifying physique.
"Do you believe the world is vast and not just the Xiang Star?" This time Mo Lian did not speak by sending it through a voice transmission.
Jiang Chen did not know why Mo Lian asked that, but he still answered her, "I know that, there are many stars out there and each one has its own rules."
"Do you believe there are many galaxies?"
"Yes! Xiang's star is in the Xima Galaxy."
"Do you believe there is a territory from other than the Western Region?"
Jiang Chen did not know what this question was for, but he still answered it, "Yes, there are South, North, East and Middle Regions."
Mo Lian smiled faintly and again asked, "We live in the Universe, did you know that outside of the Universe there is the Hanzi Realm and the Celestial Realm?"
Jiang Chen was silent for a moment, he never knew that even though he was an Intermediate stage Earth God.
"Hanzi Realm is gone, and the Celestial Realm has thousands of people whose strength is hundreds of times that of mine. Even one of them, could destroy the Universe." Mo Lian smiled faintly, and without waiting for Jiang Chen, he brought his wives back home to rest.
Jiang Chen was stunned when he heard it, his mouth was wide open until a whole egg could enter it.
Mo Lian stated that with the intention to make Jiang Chen not quickly complacent and continue cultivating. But, this was like a double-edged sword, it was possible that Jiang Chen had instead been depressed and resulted in stopping looking for strength, and leaving the Path of Cultivation.
