I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property-Chapter 1215 - 1209: They Merely Revere Science—What’s Wrong with That?

This wave of group purchase lasted until evening, and Zhang Menglong’s group purchase was basically completed. It had to be said, apart from the top forces, most of the organizations seemed rather ordinary, but combined together, they were actually quite wealthy.

Zhang Menglong was booked for a total of 102 Life Fruits, thousands of Life Flowers, more than a hundred thousand Life Leaves, and uncountable Life Grass. He had almost amassed a significant portion of the wealth of the entire Haotian Continent in one go.

The labor required to harvest these things took only a few minutes, after all, the entire Life Forbidden Zone was covered with these life plants.

Zhang Menglong stuffed a large sum of Martial Crystal into his pocket and then generously took out 2 billion Martial Crystals to distribute to his subordinates, "Take this, it’s your end-of-day bonus."

"What is an end-of-day bonus?"

"It’s a bonus to reward you for your hard work all day!" Zhang Menglong explained.

"A day’s bonus? This much?"

"The boss is mighty!"

"Following a boss like this is simply fantastic!" The Nine Swords Venerable and others almost laughed out loud with glee. In one day, they not only earned a lifetime’s worth of life but also received 1 billion Martial Crystals. Is there anything happier than this in the world?

The price they paid was merely helping Zhang Menglong register some accounts. Although such a task seemed overkill for them, they didn’t mind at all, because Zhang Menglong was just too generous!

"Everyone line up here, follow the orders, I’m going to get some goods, I’ll be back soon!" Zhang Menglong instructed, then dashed into the Life Forbidden Zone.

Like a whirlwind, Zhang Menglong immediately completed the orders and was back outside the forbidden zone in less than 5 minutes, making others envious. If only they had such capability, how great would that be!

"Why do I suddenly smell a disgusting odor," Zhang Menglong suddenly twitched his nose, feeling that the smell was somehow familiar, as if he had smelled it somewhere before.

"Hahahahaha, I never expected it to be this lively here today!" A voice suddenly sounded in the sky, the laughter a bit oily, the standard villainous laugh.

"Who?"

"Stop pretending, get out here now!"

"What a powerful concealment technique, I can’t even locate the source of the voice." A martial artist of the God-breaking Peak momentarily scanned the surroundings with divine sense but found nothing.

"Hahaha, with so many sects and dynasties here, even people from the Holy Land, how could we, the Holy Church of Shadow, be absent?" The voice sounded again.

"Holy Church of Shadow?" Many people’s expressions instantly turned grim.

On Haotian Continent, the Holy Church of Shadow was notorious; wherever they were, nothing good happened.

"Oh? These vermin again?" No wonder Zhang Menglong found the voice and this presence so familiarly disgusting. Last time, when helping Qi Xiu amend the Lingyun Sect in the Sacred Gold Dynasty, this organization had left traces. But at that time, it was just a Mystic-Breaking Realm Saint Servant.

Clearly, the person who came this time was far more formidable than that Saint Servant.

"Why, Sect Master, you’ve had dealings with them?" asked Nine Swords Venerable.

"Encountered them once, they’re really annoying," Zhang Menglong replied.

"They are not easy to deal with," Nine Swords Venerable said, "Although I was once called the strongest in Haotian Continent, that title was somewhat exaggerated; the leader of the Holy Church of Shadow is no weaker than me."

"Oh? You fought him?" Zhang Menglong asked curiously.

"There were a few clashes, neither of us went all out, but I never gained the slightest advantage," Nine Swords Venerable said, "As you know, their favorite thing is collecting high-grade bloodlines and using a method called science to integrate them into themselves, creating an artificial divine body."

"Hmm, I’ve heard of that, but is that really feasible?" Zhang Menglong wasn’t skeptical of the Holy Church of Shadow’s scientific level; the whole Haotian Continent wasn’t exactly a place that talked about science, conducting genetic engineering without a deep scientific background and equipment was simply nonsense.

"They succeeded long ago, ten thousand years ago," Nine Swords Venerable said, "At that time, the leader of the Holy Church of Shadow even integrated six types of divine body bloodline powers within his body and could wield more than eighty percent of those powers."

"That powerful?" Zhang Menglong had witnessed the power of divine bodies; although those body owners were severely beaten by him, it didn’t mean they weren’t strong, it just meant he was too abnormal.

In the same level of battle, even a hundred martial artists might not be a match for a divine body owner, and fighting across levels was as easy as cutting vegetables.

"Luckily, at that time, only one’s divine body ranked in the top ten, otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to handle him." Nine Swords Venerable said, "But now, even I am not so sure."

"Huh? Their leader isn’t dead yet?" Zhang Menglong was surprised. Nine Swords Venerable survived because of the slow time flow in the World of the Dead, but how could the leader of the Holy Church of Shadow live so long? Unless he broke through to a high-grade life form, in which case, he should have left the Haotian Continent already.

"Should be alive," Nine Swords Venerable said in a solemn tone, "Back then, he not only merged six divine body bloodlines but also incorporated the bloodline of the Woods Dragon Turtle Beast, a race known for longevity among demon beasts. Although he can’t live as long as them, living tens of thousands of years shouldn’t be a problem."

"And if he’s fused more bloodlines over the years, even with my progress in that World of the Dead, I may not be a match."

"There’s more now," another martial artist said, "As far as I know, they are now modifying with a large amount of demon beast bloodlines, creating a huge group of warriors who possess both divine body bloodlines and demon beast bloodlines, even possessing the venerable bloodline among demon beasts, their power is extremely terrifying."

"They are really a bunch of science-obsessed maniacs." An image of the Moon Worship Cult Leader from The Legend of Sword and Fairy suddenly popped into Zhang Menglong’s head, a madman pursuing science in a world of immortal heroism.

The man only wanted to prove that the Earth is round, yet no one understood or believed him, even wanting to kill him. Is that reasonable?

"Actually, there’s something to be said, we shouldn’t reject them too much." Zhang Menglong said with a smile.

"Ah?" The Nine Swords Venerable and the others were stunned. Shouldn’t reject people like this? Then what kind of people should be rejected?

"They’re just a group of genetic science researchers, they just venerate science, what’s wrong with that? Science isn’t wrong!"

Nine Swords Venerable: "..."
