Chapter 569: Clever Words, Unexpected News, Outburst, Te She's Epiphany, Spear Still Evolving._2
"No matter what, this matter is of great importance. We must be guarded!"
As soon as she spoke, the woman in white promptly pinched a spell and flew away, leaving Yi Chen sitting there with a deep and profound expression.
Just previously, when he exterminated the ferocious Blood Shadow of the Guo Family, his exceptionally sharp Spiritual Sense naturally detected something odd about that Blood Shadow.
Someone had tampered with the Blood Shadow, and in the dying moments of that blood ghost, Yi Chen caught sight of an image.
Three figures in black robes were sitting around a colorful sacrificial altar, their eyes coldly staring at him, and the scene abruptly ended there.
What's more lethal is that if Yi Chen was not mistaken, judging from the awe the three old ghosts commanded, they have certainly stepped into the realm of the True Monarchs.
For his own safety, Yi Chen had no choice but to use this underhanded strategy, tricking the naive girl in white in front of him to escalate the situation, buying himself an insurance.
"Hey, damn it, if I'm not wrong, the person those three old ghosts secretly want to lure out must be Li Shiran."
"I didn't expect that due to a series of fortunate mistakes, I, Yi Chengzi, ended up taking the bullet, so it's only right that the Heavenly Star Sect puts in some effort as well."
"It seems that this so-called Ghost Worship Sect is also quite formidable. However, if they think they can have their way with me just like that, they are sorely mistaken!"
"Deep Red! Advance!"
Yi Chen suddenly stood up, taking out all the Jade Coins he had casually obtained tonight.
Cultivation is sometimes just this simple.
As long as he, Yi Chengzi, progresses fast enough, those Heretical Powers will only be able to eat dust behind him, not even catching sight of his taillight.
The night sky is faintly illuminated; Yang City is destined for a sleepless night.
Although the Guo Family was saved by Yi Chen just in time, some of the commoners outside Yang City still fell victim to the blood ghost.
Amidst the clamor, many prominent families were startled awake, and thus the situation escalated even further.
Many people began to carry torches onto the streets, anxiously buzzing like ants on a hot pan.
In the middle of the night, the prefect of Yang City was also woken up from his concubine's embrace, as the leading families of the Qian, Li, and Zhu clans came in a joint visit, one after another filing complaints about the notorious bandits in Yang City...
Meanwhile, during the families' thorough investigations, a story about the young master of the Guo Family wetting a whole kang bed also began to spread within a small circle.
It is said that the young master of the Guo Family has an impressive capacity, drawing maps on a grand scale!
....
....
In the Yin Land, with endless raging sands, Yi Chen looks at the increasingly sinking horizon, and once more over the spear that has been reforged daily, a hint of a smile finally emerges on his face.
He pulls out the spear, starting to head towards even farther places.
These past few days, he has either been hunting down stray Alien Species monsters or performing sacrificial refining of the spear, eroding the surrounding Magnetic Field.
Improving the Deep Red Points is a great undertaking, and he must not slack for a moment. To optimize the progress, he has clearly opened up multitasking.
The Merit System of the Five Realms, along with the Fair Demon Code system of the Demon Realm, both serve as his tentacles, establishing a profound foundation for his True Technique breakthrough, and although dilapidated now, the accumulation is still quite considerable after days and months.
As for the Yin Land, it's also a thread; he wants to refine the spear into an unprecedented Extreme Primordial Magnetism Saint Weapon, and at the same time, profit by harvesting the "leeks" nearby in the Yin Land.
He wants to leave his mark of Magnetic Fields everywhere nearby, so that if the three Domain Lords who escaped earlier ever reappear, this time Yi Chen guarantees he will not let any of them go.
And the Star Well, currently providing the fewest Deep Red Points, is considered by Yi Chen to be the future.
Although now the harvest of Deep Red Points is little, it has great potential. Should there come a day when his True Technique breaks through again, and he can disperse his Three Corpse Primordial Spirits throughout the Cosmic Sea, then all worlds will feel the brilliance of his Pure Yang light as Yi Chengzi.
"Damn, why does it feel like I am now walking the same path as those who overlook all heavens, like Asna and the rest! A path of conquering all heavens!"
All of a sudden, a thought emerged in Yi Chen's mind, but quickly, he quashed the thought with his determined will.
"Impossible, I am on the path of righteousness in conquering the heavens, a path of boundless merit, combating the tyranny of people like Asna!"
"All Heretical Powers are World-Involved Calamity Conceptions, all of them must be killed!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill!"
....
....
Above the vast Star Road, a terrifying Blood Flower large enough to eclipse the sky trembles vehemently, emitting strange fluctuations, as if exchanging information with the heavens and the earth.
The gaze continued to move upward, and above this flower of flesh, there were now countless purple flesh-like suckers. The mere sight of them invoked terror in the observer.
These purple flesh-like suckers were endless, and at the center of the flower of flesh, they even outlined a smiling face.
At this moment, space trembled.
A wild laughter suddenly echoed throughout the entire starry sky.
"Hahaha, Te She Daoist, what tremendous fortune! "
"I never expected that while accompanying Daoist to that remote place to unwind and incidentally slay that bold native, I would, on a whim, grasp a trace of Spiritual Machine amidst heaven and earth."
"Today, I shall achieve Dao Fruit!"
"Divine Power Dao Fruit, coalesce for me!"
With a shout, the celestial flower of flesh started to gather, enveloping itself. Terrifying strength began to burst forth on the surface of the flower of flesh. A powerful force destroyed everything in the starry sky, shattering it all into dust.
Within the violent storm, a monstrous snake with black mist swirling around it stood at a distance, observing this shocking scene unfolding before it.
Te She could have never imagined that while on their way with Red Flower Buddha, this old friend of many years would seize upon a trace of Spiritual Machine and begin a Breakthrough!
A surge of bitterness suddenly overflowed from Te She's heart.
He knew that after today, once Red Flower Buddha achieved Dao Fruit, he and Red Flower Buddha would become completely different beings.
The giant flower of flesh in the sky closed up, trembled, and then slowly began to shed and wither.
The color of the flesh started to fade away, revealing a grayish-white hue.
"Could it... Could it be that Red Flower Buddha has failed in the breakthrough?"
"This is quite normal, you must understand, even for a cultivator of the Immortal Platform Ninth Layer Realm with the profound foundation like Red Flower Buddha, even if the Dao Fruit they congeal is just the most common Divine Power Dao Fruit, the chances of success would definitely not exceed thirty percent!"
Looking at the continuously shedding petals of the flesh flower in the sky, a hint of Schadenfreude flickered in Te She's large vertical pupils. His emotions fluctuated wildly like a roller coaster ride.
The inherent nature etched in the dark corners of the hearts of all creatures is to neither suffer worse than their brethren nor for their brethren to fare better than they.
Te She's fundamental cultivation technique inclined towards the darker aspects, and naturally, such emotions were even more intense.
Regardless, if Red Flower Buddha were to Breakthrough in Dao Fruit, then the entire distribution of benefits for their journey to the Lingxia Realm would need to be changed.
After all this arduous traveling, he might not even get a sip of the broth.
As the flower of flesh gradually withered, the sound of Te She's inner laughter grew louder.
"Haha, as expected, with only a thirty percent chance, how could Red Flower Buddha be so lucky!"
"This is Dao Fruit, the realm that countless people dream of attaining!"
"Die, Red Flower Daoist, I will take your remains."
Just at that moment, as the last petal of flesh fell away, a thin membrane of blood appeared before Te She.
Compared to the former massive flesh flower, it was so small, like the difference in size between a sesame seed and the disk of a sunflower.
However, the blood-colored membrane was now sparkling with many wondrous and sinister blood runes.
As the halo of light moved, it emitted an air of pristineness and extreme power.
Suddenly the membrane split, and a young, beardless monk emerged from the blood membrane.
He was surrounded by an aura so dreadful that it made one's heart tremble.
It was only now that Te She realized that the previous shedding of the flesh flower petals was actually burning itself to provide the final nourishment for Red Flower Buddha's complete condensation of the Divine Power Dao Fruit.
"Congratulations... Congratulations to Red Flower Buddha senior for successfully achieving the Dao Fruit Realm!"
Te She looked at the powerful figure in front of him and for a moment could only stammer. Just now, when the post-breakthrough Red Flower Buddha glanced at him, he felt as if he had been seen through, and an immediate sense of powerlessness surged into his heart.
This is Dao Fruit, the realm that countless people strive bitterly to seek.
In front of his eyes, a Dao Fruit Cultivator was born.
Trying his best to contain his own emotions, Te She respectfully congratulated the monk before him.
"Te She, let's go. Within one month, we shall reach the Lingxia Realm!"
