Chapter 1313: Chapter 442: The First Thing Upon Returning
Cloud Sea Vortex, emerge!
At the moment the fierce wind began to stir the Cloud Sea, both Luo Zheng and Blue Sea Old Demon, initially calm, could no longer remain composed.
In an instant, five streaks of light simultaneously rose, shooting straight towards the vortex in the center of the Cloud Sea.
However, with this, the battle became more intense.
Everyone fought individually, but whoever seemed to fly faster would immediately face attacks from all others.
Even Miao Lei Zhenren, the strongest single combatant, could not withstand it.
He was forced to retreat to the back.
The fighting style of Ice and Fire Elder was the fiercest, displaying the stance of one wanting to battle four alone.
However, after enduring a pale Divine Thunder from Miao Lei Zhenren, he was pressured into retreat.
The remaining four fought more fiercely.
This time, even True Flame emerged, and it seemed like a deadly struggle.
Miao Lei Zhenren, battling with Luo Zheng, suffered a strike from Blue Sea Old Demon’s technique, instantly spitting blood from his mouth.
As he retreated, he cursed: "Blue Sea Old Rogue, what we agreed upon earlier, have you forgotten? If you strike again, even if I abandon the Cloud Sea Flood Dragon Pearl, I will kill you right here!"
"...Cloud Sea Flood Dragon Pearl!"
Within the Mountain of Mind and Heart, Ji Yuan perked up hearing this Immortal Talent name.
Initially indifferent, now his eyes shone brightly.
Tu Yue, massaging his thigh beside him, quickly asked upon seeing his reaction:
"Master, what is this Cloud Sea Flood Dragon Pearl?"
"According to legend, only after the Cloud Sea has witnessed the demise of several Tier Four dragon-type spirit beasts and undergone over a thousand years of nurturing can a Flood Dragon Pearl, imbued with dragon essence, be born, known as the ’Cloud Sea Flood Dragon Pearl’."
"Tier Four Immortal Talent! If a Peak Core Formation Cultivator obtains this, it can increase their Nascent Soul Formation probability by at least twenty percent!"
Ji Yuan, rising excitedly from his soft chair, said:
"But that’s definitely not the most significant function of the Cloud Sea Flood Dragon Pearl. It truly shows its value by assisting Tier Three spirit beasts in advancing to Tier Four, especially dragon-type spirit beasts."
Tu Yue, upon hearing this, instinctively widened her eyes and then excitedly said:
"Then Master must obtain it!"
"With it, Long Fei and Long Yun can advance!"
Ji Yuan also shared this thought; even a single Cloud Sea Flood Dragon Pearl could allow one of them to advance to Tier Four.
Once they become Tier Four Serpents, they will be able to assist in battles even against those at the Nascent Soul Stage.
"Rest assured!"
Ji Yuan took a deep breath.
This matter unfortunately cannot favor Ice and Fire Elder, for after all, in this world, treasures belong to those destined!
Blue Sea Old Demon’s face slightly changed hearing Miao Lei Zhenren’s words, instinctively moving a bit away from him.
Luo Zheng seized the opportunity to pass between the two of them, heading straight for the Cloud Sea.
While laughing heartily:
"Alright, alright, killing Blue Sea Old Demon, count me, Luo Zheng, in!"
"Brother Luo, you are in haste."
Chen Mo laughed sinisterly, when suddenly from the Cloud Sea, a black divine dog leapt out.
As soon as it appeared, it tore at Luo Zheng’s clothes, relentlessly pulling him outward.
"Chen Heiquan, you son of a—!"
Luo Zheng cursed furiously.
Having fought for so long, each of them was already hurt, and severely depleted of their own mana, now suddenly facing a Peak of Tier Three spirit beast released by Chen Mo—it was truly overwhelming.
Blue Sea Old Demon also slightly retreated upon seeing this, glancing at the bald man afar, and said in a deep voice:
"Wasn’t it said that your black dog was already dead? Chen Heiquan, you truly are sinister."
"The same to you."
Chen Mo chuckled.
With the black dog entangling Luo Zheng, Miao Lei Zhenren, who had hardly spoken, suddenly acted fierily, crushing a peculiar stone inscribed with runes. His form instantly transformed into a flash of lightning, piercing into the Cloud Sea and vanished.
"What!"
Luo Zheng, stunned, watched as the lightning passed by him.
Clearly, when it came down to the crucial moment, each of them would display their divine powers.
Underground, Ji Yuan had already emerged from the stone coffin.
Clad in black armor, he slightly lowered his head, pressing a hand on the conical hat atop his head.
Just as he considered removing the concealed hat to advance to the center of the Cloud Sea vortex to seize the slowly emerging Cloud Sea Flood Dragon Pearl...
But when Miao Lei Zhenren appeared beside the Cloud Sea vortex...
Ji Yuan suddenly halted his actions.
Because his Divine Sense detected a disturbance.
The disturbance originated from within the mountain body of Celestial Pillar Mountain; he suddenly noticed, inside the mountain, a weak blood qi was seeping out.
Following this, the sensation became even clearer.
Inside the mountain body of Celestial Pillar Mountain, there lay a mangled corpse, crushed to bits and wrapped in shrouds!
Judging from the residual aura on that corpse, the cultivator was undoubtedly a Peak Core Formation Cultivator during life!
He hid below ground, within Celestial Pillar Mountain, planning to be the mantis stalking the cicada.
But as the current outcome shows.
This mantis was already pecked dead by the sparrow!
Ji Yuan detected this disturbance because the person originally hiding on him...moved!
A Nascent Soul cultivator proficient in Earth Escape Skill gently lifted the shroud covering him.
In the moment of Earth Escape from the mountain, he transformed into a soil-colored light, penetrating layers of clouds, appearing beside Miao Lei Zhenren, and gently patted this Peak Core Formation Cultivator’s shoulder.
