Chapter 996: The Spiritual Fruit Acquired, New “Visitors” Arrives
Editor: Henyee Translations
In this desolate land, Jiang Chengxuan gleefully harvested his spoils of war.
Though the two ninth-level beasts did not carry their collections like human cultivators, their bodies were still treasure troves in themselves.
Wielding the Golden Void Sword, Jiang Chengxuan transformed into a merciless butcher, methodically dismembering the corpses of the ninth-level beasts.
Take for example the ninth-level Void Beast, whose spikes resembled natural treasures of the void, akin to the Arcane Treasure, and whose bones and skin could be crafted into defensive treasures of the highest order.
Similarly, the scales and the Dao rule-infused tail of the other ninth-level Dragon Beast were equally rare, each a treasure of heavenly stature.
Other materials, such as the beast’s eyes and marrow, needless to say, were top grade materials for crafting pills and artifacts.
In Jiang Chengxuan’s hands, these resources could be utilized to their fullest potential.
He didn’t even need to trade or sell them or seek someone to refine them, as he himself was a master of weapon refinement and alchemy at the eighth level. The loot brought immense joy to his heart.
With these resources, he no longer had to worry about future consumption. This trip to the immortal cave abode had fully replenished his stores of alchemy resources.
Soon after, the remains of the two ninth-level beasts were thoroughly collected by Jiang Chengxuan, leaving nothing to waste. freёweɓnovel.com
He then traversed the chaotic space, pushing through layers of primordial mist, his heartbeat quickening with each step.
These two beasts were merely an unexpected bonus; the true goal of his journey was the ninth-level supreme Spiritual Fruit.
As Jiang Chengxuan stepped under the tree exuding a mighty life force, he immediately felt a harmony of Dao forces, and his injuries began to subtly heal.
Merely standing under the shade of this ninth-level Spiritual Fruit tree demonstrated its formidable power.
Looking up, he saw the ninth-level supreme Spiritual Fruit suspended in the middle of the tree, its mysterious Dao radiance continuously emanating in all directions.
It resembled a splendid miniature star, surrounded by orbiting rings of light, displaying its immense power.
Within it lay millennia of life essence, nurtured over eons by the immortal cave abode, and born with the purest essence of Dao.
The purity of its energy was on par with the Samsara Dao granted by the system.
With anticipation and excitement, Jiang Chengxuan soared up and plucked the supreme Spiritual Fruit.
In that instant, the world seemed to come alive, as if stirred by the departure of the supreme Spiritual Fruit.
Holding it in his hand, Jiang Chengxuan felt an immense satisfaction and clarity of thought.
This was the opportunity that even great Daolords coveted, now seized forcefully by him, bringing a surge of pride and confidence.
Moments later, as Jiang Chengxuan stored the ninth-level supreme Spiritual Fruit, he contemplated his next steps.
Meanwhile, at the entrance of the immortal cave abode in the outer domain space, a sudden anomaly occurred.
Following the disappearance of the Haoran Sect, Pantheon Sect, Divine Shadow Gate, and the Limitless Sect, this silent outer domain welcomed new visitors.
Figures exuding domineering auras shattered the void of the outer domain and made a powerful entrance.
These were forces from other sects of the Floodgate Realm.
Following the tracks of Jiang Chengxuan and others, a large group from the Floodgate Realm entered the area.
With the precedents set by Jiang and his companions, these newcomers quickly located the entrance to the immortal cave abode.
Before long, this mighty group stood before the ancient gate that Jiang and his companions had recently passed.
Their assembly was formidable, matching the combined strength of the four great sects.
Among them, forces like the Sacred Skeleton Sect and the Ghost Palace, notorious for their demonic paths, were present alongside the righteous sects like Qiankun Hall, Five Elements Heaven Sect, and the Eternal Sword Sect.
Their mutual presence was unsurprising, evidently having reached some consensus beforehand.
The leaders of these forces, needless to say, were all great Daolords.
The sect ancestors and old demons, not typically inclined to emerge, were awakened by greed upon hearing of the immortal cave abode and came forth with their disciples to seize this opportunity.
With some deals made, even the ostensibly righteous sects like Qiankun Hall and Five Elements Heaven Sect assisted the demonic forces to arrive here quietly.
“Indeed, this is an immortal cave abode. Sects like Haoran and Pantheon really harbored ulterior motives, attempting to secretly monopolize this grand opportunity,” a great Daolord’s angry voice echoed within the ancient hall.
Clearly, the fact that they were not the first on the scene infuriated them.
After all, every moment wasted meant a loss of tremendous resources.
Even in the short time that had passed, the likes of Haoran Sect might have already widened the gap between them, exacerbating the anxiety in those who already harbored reservations about Haoran Sect.
“If there’s a chance, show no mercy to anyone inside. This is between you and me. They surely have already gained much from this place…” The ancestor of the Sacred Skeleton Sect, shrouded in a grey robe, spoke ominously.
And to these clearly heinous suggestions, no one objected, not even those from the so-called righteous sects. They simply pretended not to hear.
It was clear there was a tacit understanding among them. The world of cultivation was never far from bloodshed, betrayal, greed, and conspiracy.
“The immediate priority is to figure out how to open this ancient gate,” stated Daolord Southbright from the Qiankun Hall in a cold voice.
Seeing that Qin Shenwu, who had once bested him, might find the opportunity to ascend to the immortal realm, his anxiety was greater than anyone else’s.
He cared for nothing else; his only desire was to thwart Qin Shenwu’s path. This had almost become an obsession, verging on madness in his heart.
“Heh, as I said earlier, if I claimed to have a way, then there will be a way,” sneered a powerful figure from the side of the demonic.
As for opening the ancient gate, these demonic forces indeed had some unique methods. After all, despite everything, the demonic sects had a long history that was no less prestigious than any other.
Over thousands of years, various demonic forces might have been exterminated time and again, but they always managed to reinvent themselves and continue their lineages after colluding in disgrace.
