The Immortal Wife Is Like A Cloud

Chapter 827: The Third Day

When the first rays of sunlight fully illuminated the mountain peak where Su Jingzhen and his companions were, Xuening, Yan Xia, and the others had also finished their cultivation from the previous night.

Each of them seemed to exude an even more refined and extraordinary aura.

As expected, the divine source was one of the purest forms of energy in existence.

“Everyone, today is the third day of the Four Waters Martial Arts Competition.

The past two days have been quite decent. Xuening, which direction should we go today?”

Su Jingzhen smiled as he looked at Xuening.

Xuening smiled faintly back without speaking. She gently closed her eyes and once more began to sense her surroundings.

As she did so, a radiant five-colored light shimmered around her body.

It seemed far more dazzling than it had been in the past two days.

However, Su Jingzhen and the others paid no attention to this change.

They failed to notice that Xuening’s aura had undergone a profound transformation in these two short days. It now possessed a divine and untouchable holiness.

“Brother Su, I’ve sensed a location. The energy there feels similar to the aura from the bottom of the deep pit last time.”

Her words immediately caused the group of four to become excited.

Whether it was the Divine Source Valley or the Deep Pit, both contained dozens of Divine Sources.

Even though the quality of these sources was only second-tier, their sheer quantity was undeniable.

“Hurry, Xuening! Lead us there!

We need to collect as many Divine Sources as possible. Even if the ordinary ones aren’t of much use to us anymore, our friends and family outside still desperately need them.”

They were well aware that nearly every team in the Divine Source Secret Realm was keeping a close eye on them, treating them as enemies.

For those enemies, Su Jingzhen didn’t want to leave even the easily obtainable Divine Sources behind.

If it were feasible, he would have swept the entire Divine Source Secret Realm into his Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.

Su Jingzhen’s usual style was clear: Wherever he passed through, nothing was left behind.

As they spoke, the five of them set off again.

Under Jian Ling’s guidance, their travel speed was amazing.

In less than half an hour, they had already arrived at a massive cliff several hundred miles away.

However, to their surprise, the cliff was already surrounded by hundreds of people.

“What is going on? Could these guys have sensed something unusual here as well?”

Su Jingzhen murmured to himself as he released a wisp of divine consciousness.

His expression quickly darkened.

He realized that the density of spiritual energy on this cliff was beyond extraordinary.

And the source of this energy seemed to be the towering cliff itself.

In a place like the Divine Source Secret Realm, it was obvious that the cliff concealed Divine Sources, most likely more than one.

The arrival of Su Jingzhen and his group immediately drew the attention of everyone at the cliff.

Most people’s eyes widened in shock as they saw the dozens of Divine Source markings glowing above their heads.

Then, greed flickered in their eyes.

The cultivators here could all sense the powerful aura emanating from Su Jingzhen’s group.

Many of them had been harboring envy and malice since the previous day, and they hadn’t expected their targets to suddenly appear before them today.

Su Jingzhen immediately felt the presence of dozens of hostile auras silently closing in on him.

Their group had barely arrived, yet they had already become the center of attention.

Jian Ling and Qiu Yaoyao remained calm, instinctively positioning themselves in front of Xuening and Yan Xia to protect them.

Su Jingzhen’s gaze shifted back to Xuening.

“Xuening, is the Divine Source you mentioned located within this cliff?”

Xuening nodded.

At this moment, Jian Ling frowned and added,

“According to the information I’ve gathered, this cliff has existed in several previous Four Waters Martial Arts competitions.

It’s widely believed that there are numerous Divine Sources hidden within it, but in all those competitions no one has ever managed to open it.

It’s said that even during the last competition, several cultivators from the Great Perfection Realm joined forces, but they couldn’t so much as “scratch” it.”

After finishing, Jian Ling turned to Xuening with a hopeful look.

“But Xuening, you were able to sense this place from hundreds of miles away. Do you think you can open it?”

Jian Ling suddenly remembered the previous incident at the deep pit.

Back then, the unremarkable mountain concealed a hidden illusionary array that not even she could see through. Yet, Xuening had unveiled it easily.

If Xuening could pull off such a feat there, could she perhaps work another miracle with this cliff here?

If she could truly open it, Jian Ling believed that what lay within would far surpass the treasures found at the bottom of the deep pit.

Perhaps this cliff was one of the most extraordinary fortune places in the entire Divine Source Secret Realm.

“I think I can!”

Xuening’s confident reply after a brief moment of contemplation sent waves of excitement through the group.

Su Jingzhen and the others couldn’t hide the joy on their faces.

Jian Ling then cast a disdainful glance at the crowd gathered around the cliff, the corners of her lips curling in contempt.

“If Xuening can open it, then let’s not waste any time and head straight for it.

These people may be numerous, but they’re nothing more than a bunch of weaklings.

However, if we linger too long, more might show up and that might lead to unnecessary trouble.”

With that, Xuening didn’t hesitate. The group immediately moved towards the center of the cliff, where the spiritual energy was densest.

Their every move was closely watched by the crowd.

As they advanced, several teams began following them, maintaining a distance of about ten zhang.

No one spoke, but the fervent greed in their eyes was unmistakable.

“Anyone who comes within ten zhang will be killed without mercy!”

Jian Ling’s icy voice rang out, and the aura of her Great Perfection Realm cultivation erupted.

A sharp and overwhelming sword intent filled the area around the cliff.

Those who were too close felt a stinging pain on their skin, as if the biting sword energy could rip their bodies apart.

“How domineering. Let’s retreat for now.

It’s not worth getting into a fight with them at this moment.”

“Jian Ling is undoubtedly one of the strongest competitors in this Four Waters Martial Arts Competition. A little respect is in order.

Besides, they’re heading straight for the center of the cliff. It looks like they plan to open the divine source hidden here.

Let’s just watch for now.”

“This cliff has withstood countless competitions without being breached. If they think they can open it on their first try, they might just be dreaming.

But if they do succeed, it would actually be a good thing for us.

With so many people here, we might have a chance to get a share of the spoils.”

“…”
