Chapter 3552: Zhen Tang’s decisiveness (1)
Tang Zhen returned to the encampment. He continued to cultivate while waiting for an opportunity.
Although he had already obtained the treasure and knew of his enemy’s whereabouts, the pressure on Tang Zhen did not decrease. Instead, it increased.
He was well aware of how difficult it was to kill the remaining enemies. The first three successes were due to the element of surprise.
As time passed, it would only increase the difficulty and make the operation more dangerous.
Once the hidden connection was discovered, the enemy would definitely raise their vigilance and not give Tang Zhen the opportunity to take action easily.
He might even set a trap and take the opportunity to kill Tang Zhen. In short, he couldn’t just sit and wait for death.
Therefore, before taking action, it was necessary to get in touch with the main body and share all the information before deciding on the next step of the action.
Not only did the main body have to consider a way out, but the clone also had to consider a way out. Only when the success was achieved would the retreat be truly complete.
It wasn’t to act rashly and leave behind a bunch of clues that would be caught by the cornerstone platform for questioning.
At this time, Zhou Quan needed to be even more calm.
Tang Zhen also took this opportunity to check the treasures he had just obtained.
The ancient creatures had accumulated a lot of good things over the years, but they might not be useful for cultivation.
After careful selection, he determined that a considerable portion of the treasures were not of much use to cultivation.
Most of them were weapons, armors, materials, secret manuals, ruins, and all sorts of other stuff.
Calling it a garbage dump was indeed worthy of its name.
Tang Zhen had no use for this junk. He could only think of ways to find an opportunity to sell it and Exchange it for useful resources.
However, with such a huge number, not many buyers could buy all of them. Anyone who spent a large number of rule particles would have to pick and choose.
The cornerstone platform did not reject anyone, but there were many things here that could not be known to the cultivators of Lou Cheng.
It was like snatching the landlord’s son’s clothes and then turning around to exchange them for money at the landlord’s pawnshop. It was an act of walking into a trap.
Tang Zhen could only store it and wait for the right opportunity to find a way to sell it.
Tang Zhen didn’t need these resources, nor did the ancient beast. Although it was growling in hunger, it was quite picky about food.
It had already eaten all the edible things, and only the things that it didn’t want to eat and didn’t taste good would be sealed as garbage.
Although it was in dire straits and had been reduced to rummaging through the garbage for food, it had no appetite for items that weren’t of a high enough grade.
Only when he was starving to death would he force himself to take a bite, and he looked a little miserable.
It was like this when they were young, but when they grew up, the situation would become even more serious.
Take the ancient creature that created the fragment world as an example. It only liked to devour the tortured souls of cultivators so that it could rapidly increase its strength.
The other ancient creatures were the same. They all had their own preferences, most of which were related to the rules of their own cultivation.
There was only one type of food that even ancient creatures would not avoid, and that was the chaos Qi that existed at the beginning of the world.
It was just that this thing didn’t have much nutrition. It could only allow ancient creatures to barely survive, but it was impossible for them to grow quickly.
Choosing food was equivalent to eating meat, and devouring the chaos Qi was equivalent to eating porridge. The difference was just that huge.
Fortunately, Tang Zhen didn’t place much hope on the ancient beast. It didn’t matter how fast it grew as long as it didn’t die.
Plans could not keep up with changes. This was Tang Zhen’s encounter.
If outsiders knew that Tang Zhen had obtained a treasure, they would definitely be extremely envious. After all, this was a heaven-sent opportunity that he could not ask for more.
Only Tang Zhen himself was clear that this shocking amount of ancient treasure was something that even he would not be able to support with his normal cultivation.
He had originally planned to bury himself in cultivation and work hard to improve his strength, but now it seemed that his plan would fall through.
There was another matter that caused Tang Zhen to be suspicious in his heart. Up until now, his main body still had not contacted him.
This also made him secretly worried. Could it be that his original body had encountered an accident, and that was why there was no news of him?
If that was the case, Tang Zhen would have to take action immediately to see if he could provide any assistance.
Fortunately, not long after, he finally had news of the main body.
On this day, Tang Zhen was cultivating and trying to lay a good foundation. He would then look for an opportunity to find the tree of rules to form seeds.
His cultivation method was a combination of the two systems, so he had to condense a sufficient number of rule seeds.
While he was cultivating, his expression changed slightly, and he slowly opened his eyes and looked forward.
At the same time, a cloud of smoke suddenly appeared in the courtyard where Tang Zhen was located.
The smoke turned into a door, and a figure appeared in a flash. His entire body was covered in black smoke.
The black mist was like a living creature, wriggling up and down. Its eyes were blood red, as if it was formed from the lives of countless living beings.
“Greetings, Your Excellency.”
After the black fog figure appeared, it bowed to Tang Zhen.
“Why are you the one who appeared?”
Tang Zhen naturally knew about the black mist’s origins. It was one of the main body’s servants. There were 100 rule seeds condensed in its body, and its strength was enough to crush ordinary supremacies.
“Master has obtained a great opportunity and is at a critical moment in his cultivation, so he can’t meet you.”
Tang Zhen was stunned when he heard this. Soon after, a pleasantly surprised expression appeared on his face.
He was of the same origin as his main body. Naturally, he knew the meaning of these words. Clearly, Tang Zhen had found the crucial point to become a Godking.
If not for this, how could it be called a great opportunity?
This also meant that when both parties met again, there was a high chance that his main body would become a God King powerhouse.
Of course, it was also possible that Tang Zhen would fail and remain at the supremacy realm.
However, even if he failed, his strength would increase by several times, reaching an unbelievable level.
“Hahaha, it’s indeed good news!”
Tang Zhen laughed out loud. He felt that the heavy gloominess that had accumulated in his heart had been swept away with the arrival of the news.
Only Tang Zhen himself was clear about how dangerous his enemy was and how much pressure he had brought.
Even if they killed all these targets, they still had to be wary of the revenge of the enemy’s relatives. No one could guarantee that the secret would not be leaked.
However, if he were to become a God King expert, Tang Zhen would have the ability to resolve it even if he had to annihilate the entire clan of the culprit.
Different realms and strengths would have different methods of solving problems.
It seemed extremely difficult now, but if he became a Divine King expert, he might be able to solve all his problems with a single sentence.
“So you’re here just to deliver this message?”
Tang Zhen withdrew his smile and asked the black fog.
“Master asked me to tell you that if you know the whereabouts of your enemy, you can decide whether to take revenge or not.
If he had the ability to do so, he would try as much as he could. However, the first thing he had to do was to ensure his own safety and to ensure that there was a perfect way out.
If he couldn’t do it, he didn’t need to force himself and could just continue to endure.
It won’t be too late to take action when he comes out of seclusion.”
Tang Zhen nodded. The two of them came from the same source and their thoughts were basically the same.
However, he had already made his decision.
“I already know the enemy’s whereabouts. It would be a pity to give up just like that.
It was even more unclear if the enemy knew about the news and chose to hide or set a trap.
So, I’ll take action soon and head to the enemy’s area to obtain more accurate information.
I’ve already thought about it. I’ll handle this matter, and there’s no need for my main body to get involved.
He had to find a way to clean up all the clues related to the main body. Even if his traces were to be exposed one day, he must not implicate the main body.
Otherwise, if his main body failed to advance, once he was involved, he was bound to suffer the fierce revenge of the enemy.
But if it was me, things would be much simpler.
Even if I’m really exposed, I’ll just escape far away or die to atone for my sins.”
Tang Zhen’s smile became increasingly free and easy as he said this.
“If I die at the hands of my enemies, you must remember to avenge me when my main body becomes a God King.”
The black mist was silent for a moment, then bowed.
“Your Excellency’s actions are admirable, but the black fog can’t help even if it wants to. I can only wish you success in your operation.
Master asked me to send you some materials that can help you with your cultivation. He also gave you a replica of the world-breaking divine talisman that can help you at a critical moment.”
After black mist said this, he passed the items he brought to Tang Zhen and bowed again.
His body turned into a cloud of smoke and entered the door of smoke, quickly shrinking and disappearing.
