Chapter 329: Chapter 218: No One Gets Rich Without Windfalls! Encounter with Xue Xuan Again!_2
"Stepping into the Spirit Cleansing Pool increases the chances of advancing to the Furnace Fire Realm by a whole ten percent. With such a huge opportunity, don’t you want to grab it?"
Chu Guang was truly in a state of panic. Even though he had swallowed the Elixirs whole, the recovery of his Primordial Power was not even halfway there.
He could now see that the creature in front of him was not brimming with surging Primordial Power. Instead, it was violently absorbing the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, instantly transforming it into Primordial Power. How could he fight this! Not to mention that he was currently at less than half his Primordial Power; even at full strength, he might not be a match for this beast!
BOOM!
As Jiang Shu unleashed the third Heavenly Gang Dragon Capturing Hand, the Holy Embryo within him finally reached the nadir of weakness. After the Holy Embryo was formed, it needed to absorb a massive amount of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi at all times. Now, Jiang Shu had turned the massive supply into a trickle. Although he temporarily had ample Primordial Power, the Holy Embryo had suffered significant damage and would need an unknown length of time to recover.
Without the luxury of time to think, Jiang Shu struck out with a palm, and the golden bell phantom in front of him collapsed instantly. Jiang Shu grasped the Bloodfall Hidden Flood Dragon Saber, stepped with Concealing Steps, and concentrated the last bit of his Primordial Power on the blade’s edge.
A downward slash!
It was as if a dragon swallowed a pearl.
Chu Guang’s head flew off instantly, his eyes filled with unstoppable fear. Blood sprayed, and the headless corpse, without any power to sustain it, slowly fell to the ground.
PFFT!
A gentle breeze blew, and Jiang Shu staggered, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood as well. He grabbed the Golden Bell Treasure and the Dagger Treasure, took the Storage Bag beside Chu Guang, and fled the area as quickly as possible.
At this moment, he was truly at the end of his tether. Let alone dealing with another genius, even the phantom of a Mutant Beast would be too much for him to withstand!
「Half a quarter of an hour later,」
The intense fluctuations of Primordial Power finally dissipated. Gradually, a streak of light approached from afar. After thoroughly examining the battlefield and confirming that the deceased was Chu Guang of the Juguang Dynasty, his body began to tremble. Chu Guang, he was the second-ranking figure within the Juguang Dynasty. The one who killed him, could it be a genius from a top-tier dynasty?
A horse can’t get fat without eating at night. A person can’t get rich without sudden wealth!
Not in a rush to tally his gains, Jiang Shu swallowed several top-grade and supreme-grade Elixirs, and it took him a full day to fully recover. Even so, the Holy Embryo was still in a weakened state, clearly unable to withstand another battle like the day before.
Two Treasures. This Dagger Treasure can be left unrefined for the time being, but this Golden Bell Treasure is quite outstanding. It can withstand the attacks of the Bloodfall Hidden Flood Dragon Saber and also my several Heavenly Gang Dragon Capturing Hands. It’s just that the repair of these Treasure Patterns is too slow. In this battlefield, where Yuan Qi is already thin, ten days might not even be enough. It’s a pity; such a good trump card. Of course, the most regrettable thing is that Spirit Cleansing Pool... When I get out, I must investigate it thoroughly. If what Chu Guang said is true, I should be able to find the Spirit Cleansing Pool if I invest more time.
After inspecting Chu Guang’s Jade Token, Jiang Shu found that his points had reached a terrifying six hundred. By his estimate, even if he did nothing else afterward, these points would be enough to ensure his successful entry into the Sect. It was time to indulge somewhat recklessly.
Leaping from the cave, Jiang Shu adjusted his condition. Without expending any Primordial Power, he moved forward at the fastest speed possible. At the same time, his spiritual power extended outwards. The Spirit Cleansing Pool would certainly be in a very special environment—either a place full of spiritual power or a spiritual power vacuum.
As time passed, just as Jiang Shu finished searching one area and had picked the local Heaven and Earth Treasure Medicines, ready to step into the next area, fluctuations of Primordial Power came from not far away. In the distance, familiar voices could be heard. That voice... Prince Xue Xuan?
Unlike many other geniuses, Jiang Shu had never really ventured out of the Da Jing Dynasty since the beginning, and he knew too few of the geniuses. Not to mention those from other dynasties, even within the Da Jing Dynasty, he was only slightly more familiar with Xue Xuan and Luo Yu. As for Luo Yu, he ranked outside the top ten among the geniuses of the Da Jing Dynasty. In the Hundred Dynasties Battlefield, to survive until now, one would either have to have enormous luck to enter a higher Realm or consistently hide somewhere, avoiding the regions that were getting closer and closer to the center.
Certain of his thoughts, Jiang Shu stepped with Concealing Steps, hiding his form as he slowly approached.
On the open plain, Xue Xuan was caught in a pincer attack. "Unexpectedly, the Da Jing Dynasty has produced a decent figure like you in this generation," the twins facing him said, their voices eerily in unison as if they shared one mind. "How about this: if you leave your Jade Token, Storage Bag, and both Treasures, we brothers will let you live."
Ruan Lei, Ruan Yan. In an instant, two names surfaced in Jiang Shu’s mind. Before entering the Hundred Dynasties Battlefield, while he might not have known the exact geniuses, some were already famous and assured entry into the Sect; the Da Jing Dynasty had naturally collected their information. These twins were from the mid-level Xuan Kong Dynasty. Both were outstanding in terms of Talent and strength; either one alone could match the prowess of a top-tier dynasty’s genius. Not to mention, the brothers had been practicing Martial Arts together since childhood, and the Cultivation Techniques and Martial Arts they practiced were complementary. When they joined forces, their combined strength doubled.
