Chapter 2348 -2346: The Scheme of the Aristocratic Family
“Forgot to wipe it off.”
Ethan Smith, a bit embarrassed, quickly wiped off the lip print. Kennedi Evans really didn’t hold back on causing trouble.
…
At this moment, in Lorncloud City.
The Moon Pavilion had already become a place of rest for high-ranking officials of the Holy Region. People from various factions were coming and going constantly.
Countless Spirit Soul Stones and numerous Magic Weapons were continuously handed over. Under the ruthless methods of the Holy Region, most sects and aristocratic families ultimately chose to surrender. Losing these treasures was preferable to losing their lives.
After being handed over, these items were divided into ten portions according to different ratios and then taken away by members of various families.
In one particular room, a spatial restriction enveloped the exterior. This restriction blocked any divine sense or sound, making it impossible for anyone to detect what was happening inside.
“During the interrogation of a Ji family member, an elder from my Carney family accidentally obtained some information. It turns out the Ji family seems to have changed their name. When we investigated further, we uncovered an incredible surprise!”
Si Wu Xiao’s face was full of shock at this moment, as he had just learned the specific details about the Ji family.
“We have Ethan Smith to thank for this—forcing me to utilize the Yao Family Immortal Scripture and drawing upon the Saint’s Power of my Yao family ancestor. Only then did I detect the anomaly in the Ji family bloodline.”
Corbin Green’s face also carried an unmistakable expression of ecstasy.
“Who would’ve thought this family turned out to be descendants of one of the Great Families of the past? It’s the Ji family! A clan that had vanished into the annals of history, one I always assumed had no surviving members. To think they still had descendants alive today. No wonder they had access to such abundant resources—I used to find it strange.”
Si Wu Xiao nodded in agreement.
“Back in those days, a significant portion of the Ji family’s treasures was taken into Purgatory. The whereabouts of these treasures have remained a mystery. Kennedi Evans is a direct descendant of the Ji family, so she must be aware of where those treasures are located. The resources there might even surpass those of our two families combined! These items are something the Green family and my family must acquire!”
“The treasures are secondary; the most important thing is to obtain that sword.”
Si Wu Xiao’s face grew solemn.
“At the time, the last ancestor of the Ji family single-handedly stood guard at the entrance of the Holy Region, slaughtering countless Different Races with one sword, even blocking a blow from a Demon Emperor of that era. This sword is the one wielded by Human Emperor Xuanyuan. Legend has it that this sword alone can make the Path of Heaven submit. Even if we were to combine all the treasures from our two families, they wouldn’t compare to the value of this sword. We must claim it as our own.”
“This matter must remain known only to our two families. Under no circumstances should anyone from other clans, especially Teng ZiXu, become aware of it.”
Mentioning Teng ZiXu, Corbin Green’s wariness became evident.
The speed at which The Chosen One cultivated was utterly terrifying. His strength seemed to grow without pause, and now his power was unfathomable.
“Damn it, once I get my hands on the Xuanyuan Sword, the first person I’ll cut down is that lawless bastard!” Corbin Green growled with resentment.
“Kennedi Evans is still in Ethan Smith’s hands, but I reckon she won’t reveal this secret to him. As long as we capture Kennedi Evans, everything will fall into place, and the Ji family’s hidden treasures will be within our grasp!”
Si Wu Xiao said in a deep voice, “We’ll need to plan this carefully. Furthermore, the treasures left behind by the Ji family’s ancestors are likely protected by safeguards. We must consider every aspect.”
“Yes, both of our Holy Lords are already making preparations. News should come in a matter of days.”
The two continued speaking in low tones for a long time.
…
On the Qingluan Continent.
Ethan Smith was deeply immersed in the cultivation of his holy body. Ten days had passed, and he had been continuously absorbing the spiritual energy from the Spirit Soul Mountain.
At this moment, his body had developed an intricate network of countless blood vessels. These blood vessels connected various acupoints throughout his body, forming an internal circulation system.
The spiritual energy required to sustain these blood vessels was immense. Every single vessel devoured an enormous amount of refined spiritual energy.
The blood vessels extended from his Luminous Sacred Bone and seemed fundamentally different from before. The way the vessels connected to the acupoints featured a structure Ethan Smith couldn’t comprehend.
But each time a blood vessel was connected, he felt the strength in his body grow incrementally.
His body exuded a destructive aura so intense that even Salena Carpenter, with her current level of strength, felt an instinctive sense of fear.
The Glazed Holy Body was akin to a Magic Weapon in and of itself.
Back on Earth, Ethan Smith had already begun tempering his body, using his physique as raw material for his artifact-refining Master to hammer.
After entering the Holy Region, he cultivated the Holy Body Technique, continuously tempering and refining his flesh and bones.
Upon entering Purgatory, he absorbed energy from the Bone Refining Water to transform his meridians, muscles, and skeletons.
Later, on the Fire Scale Continent, he reforged his body amidst blazing magma. Finally, under the searing burn of the Vermilion Bird Divine Fire, he successfully created a section of Luminous Sacred Bone, resembling the forging of a Magic Weapon.
*Even in a second lifetime, Ethan Smith doubted he could replicate the creation of such a holy body.*
He could now wield fifty percent of his strength. Supported by his skeletal framework and network of blood vessels, his body had become almost indestructible.
He exhaled deeply. Constructing the Luminous Sacred Bone had consumed an enormous amount of Divine Soul Power, leaving him feeling thoroughly exhausted.
Ethan Smith exited his Sumeru Ring. After his ten days of cultivation, it seemed a great battle had taken place here.
Elder Baker, Salena Carpenter, and several cultivators bore minor injuries. Upon seeing Ethan Smith, Elder Baker walked toward him.
“The spatial rifts are expanding again. It seems the Path of Heaven’s suppression of the lower planes grows weaker by the day. This time, a True Saint Ninth Rank demon clan leader appeared,” Elder Baker said with a grim expression. “If not for Heath Perez completing the initial defense formation in time, the casualties among the cultivators here would have been catastrophic. What’s more alarming about these demon clans is their absolute obedience to their leader. Salena Carpenter could have killed that leader, but in the end, hundreds of demons self-destructed, allowing the leader to escape.”
“If they’re this disciplined, we’ll stand no chance in large-scale battles to come.”
Ethan Smith furrowed his brow. He recalled some historical records; during the chaotic battles between races in past eras, no matter whether it was the demon race, demon clan, or ghost race, their individual strength was far superior. Two cultivators of equal strength from the human race were usually required to suppress one opponent of an equivalent realm.
However, humans excelled at teamwork and coordination in battle. This advantage now appeared to be reversing.
*What path the situation would take from here was beyond his ability to predict.*
*Under the relentless push of the Path of Heaven, events seemed as inevitable as a massive, grinding wheel, crushing forward without pause.* *No one could stop it, and all living beings seemed destined to become mere pawns of the Path of Heaven.*
“The entire Purgatory teems with countless Different Races, and the slaughter of humans has reached unimaginable proportions. Even Lorncloud City has been besieged, where many Purgatory cultivators were sent to the front lines to fend off the Different Races. Yet the Holy Region remains indifferent, refusing to intervene.”
Elder Baker sighed deeply. Being a member of the Tree Demon Clan, he did not originally belong to humanity.
