Dragon-Marked War God

Not only Tantai Jingzang, but even the Monk Tyrant did not know what Jiang Chen had gone through after they left. It was no longer twenty giant spiders, but thirty, fifty, and in the end even seventy or eighty demonic beasts. The danger and terror of it went without saying.

In Tantai Jingzang’s eyes, Jiang Chen naturally counted as one of their saviors too. It was just that compared with the Monk Tyrant, he was much more impetuous, loved to show off and even loved to put on an air of mystery. With the strength of a Late Hierarch, he had insisted on going up against more than twenty Half-step Divine Emperor demonic beasts. She had never seen such conceit in her life.

Of course, Jiang Chen had defeated those guys only because he happened to counter those giant spiders, not because of his real strength.

But in the end, it was Jiang Chen’s group who had saved them. Even Sun Xiaolong expressed his thanks to Jiang Chen.

“This time, we’re lucky that all of you holy men came to our aid. This old man is truly grateful beyond words. I hope that after you enter the Central Region Divine Land, you’ll come to my Fossil Sect as guests.”

Wu Zhentian said with a smile. They had escaped death. Although more than twenty people had died, they were all Mid Hierarch experts. As long as Tantai Jingzang and he himself were unhurt, it did not count as a heavy blow. After all, Wu Zhentian and Tantai Jingzang were the backbone of this journey.

“Thank you.”

Tantai Jingzang also nodded quietly, expressing her gratitude to Jiang Chen and the others. She did not say much, but it was very sincere. After all, she was the kind of free-spirited woman who loved and hated clearly.

“This time we owe a lot to Jiang Chen. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been easy for us to get away.”

Qing Xuan said seriously. But in Tantai Jingzang’s eyes, they were just putting in a good word for Jiang Chen. If that guy had not relied on his divine fire’s great restraint over those giant demonic beasts, he might have died a very miserable death. And before that, he had shown off and stepped in, nearly becoming a heroic sacrifice.

“Brother Jiang, haha, I really didn’t expect your strength to be this great. Although you haven’t reached the Half-step Divine Emperor Realm, you already have such great ability. But your divine fire is truly amazing. It makes me envious. Every alchemy master or forging master hopes to have an extremely strong divine fire. Only then can they go further and further on their own path. If I could have a powerful flame, it wouldn’t be impossible for me to become a forging master. Sigh.”

Sun Xiaolong said with a serious face and a gloomy expression. Jiang Chen’s use of the five flames of his Five Elemental Divine Fire to take on the giant spiders had given them a great shock.

“What Xiaolong says makes a lot of sense. Little brother, when you travel the world, you must know that a man is not guilty, but owning a jade makes him guilty! You carry five kinds of divine fire. If someone with ulterior motives sees them, they’ll definitely want to take them from you and kill you. In front of others in the future, I hope you’ll protect yourself well, little brother, and not show too much of your divine fire, so as not to bring trouble on yourself.”

Wu Zhentian’s words were quite useful to Jiang Chen. Jiang Chen nodded. He knew that what Wu Zhentian said was the truth. After all, the Central Region Divine Land was so vast that it could not be compared with anywhere else. Besides, he could be considered to have offended the Futu Pagoda. In the future, he would have to be careful everywhere in the Divine World and take every step with caution.

“What you say is very true, sir. I’ll keep it in mind.”

Jiang Chen said with a smile.

“Amitabha. Since you all come from the Central Region Divine Land, why did you venture deep into this Desolate Divine Land? The danger here is as famous as that of the Forbidden Divine Land. Now so many have died or been wounded, which is a sad thing.”

The Monk Tyrant asked probingly. These people had probably entered the Desolate Divine Land with some goal in mind. Otherwise, why would they push so deep into the Desolate Divine Land in such force? And their strength was not to be underestimated either. If they had not run into these giant spiders, they would not have suffered such heavy losses.

Tantai Jingzang and Wu Zhentian looked at each other, and Tantai Jingzang said in a low voice.

“We came this time to look for treasure. The Fossil Sect received some extremely exciting news. Five hundred thousand miles from where the Central Region Divine Land and the Desolate Divine Land meet, there’s a place called Little Lone Mountain. More than seventy thousand years ago, a meteorite from beyond the heavens fell on that mountain. A meteorite from beyond the heavens is a top-grade material for forging divine weapons and treasures, with unimaginable value. That’s the purpose of our journey.”

After Tantai Jingzang finished, Wu Zhentian smiled and said earnestly.

“My young friends, I won’t hide it from you. Although our strength isn’t bad, I always feel that this search for the meteorite won’t be that simple. What happened earlier has already confirmed my guess. The dangers we may run into next are also hard for us to predict. I can see that you are all good-natured by nature and definitely not petty thieves, and we’ve also received your great kindness. So this old man will be bold enough to ask you young friends to help my Fossil Sect succeed in finding the meteorite this time. When the time comes, my Fossil Sect will definitely reward you generously.”

“A meteorite from beyond the heavens?”

Jiang Chen murmured. Meteorites from beyond the heavens were all real treasures. Even the poorest quality would definitely be more terrifying than any Origin Divine Tool. Its raw ore might even reach the level of a Primal Origin Treasure. Then the divine weapons forged from it would be extremely precious. Jiang Chen also needed some meteoric iron from beyond the heavens right now. His one hundred and eight Origin Divine Tools were already somewhat inadequate. It was no longer really possible for them to kill a Divine Emperor Realm expert. If the Ashura Sword Formation wanted to become stronger again, he had to raise the grade of the divine weapons. If the one hundred and eight Origin Divine Tools could break through again, even if they did not reach the level of Primal Origin Treasures, they would still go up another level.

“All right.”

Jiang Chen nodded and agreed directly. Wu Zhentian was overjoyed when he heard it. After all, the strength of him and Tantai Jingzang, plus Sun Xiaolong and the others, was somewhat inadequate. They had already had a very hard time running into those giant demonic beasts before. If they ran into danger again, their situation would be even harder, to the point where they could barely move a step.

That was why Wu Zhentian planned to have Jiang Chen and the others lend them a hand. Otherwise, the dangers along their way would be hard to predict.

“But I have one condition.”

Jiang Chen paused and said.

Tantai Jingzang knitted her delicate brows and looked at Jiang Chen.

“What condition?”

“I want half.”

Jiang Chen said calmly.

“You’re opening your lion’s mouth wide! Can you swallow it?”

Tantai Jingzang said in a deep voice.

“Then why don’t you try swallowing one for me?”

Jiang Chen asked back.

“Hmph.”

Tantai Jingzang snorted coldly. Her face turned slightly red, and a cold glint flashed across her eyes. What did he mean, try swallowing one for him? If it were not for the kindness Jiang Chen had shown them earlier, she would probably be about to go berserk at this moment!
