Chapter 982 - 305: Yellow Heaven Dao_4

"You all wait here, don’t wander off. I’ll go see if Wuxiang Zen Temple has any bounty tasks. If we’re lucky, I can earn some Spirit Crystals on the way to buy Elixirs for you."

This middle-aged man was the Purple Mansion Cultivator who had once spoken to Shen Chongming outside Jin Chuan Island.

As soon as he stepped into the Seven Layer Tower, his figure vanished instantly.

Moments later, the middle-aged man’s figure appeared outside the tower, with a complex expression of doubt, annoyance, and regret on his face.

Among the young disciples, a newly achieved Golden Core girl noticed his expression and curiously asked, "Master, what’s wrong?"

The middle-aged man’s expression changed, and then he spoke softly, "Do you all remember when we came to Jin Chuan Island, encountering that Purple Mansion Thunder Cultivator?"

The group exchanged glances, and the arrogant young man said, "That fool?"

Uncharacteristically, the middle-aged man did not reprimand him but nodded gravely, "Wuxiang Zen Temple has put out a bounty of fifty thousand Spirit Crystals to find his whereabouts."

"If able to capture him alive, there’s a reward of one hundred thousand Spirit Crystals!"

Hearing this, the juniors were all too shocked to speak!

"Disciple has heard that killing a normal cultivator at the Purple Mansion Perfection Realm already fetches tens of thousands of Spirit Crystals. Who would be crazy enough to offer a bounty of one hundred thousand Spirit Crystals to capture that person?"

The Golden Core girl murmured in disbelief.

After hearing this, the middle-aged man sighed slightly, "Such wealth... If my guess is correct, that person must have killed a direct lineage of some great figure, and they have traced some clues using a Secret Skill."

The young cultivators in front of him all fell silent.

After a moment, the youngest little girl looked up and asked, "Master, should we still look for Sea Soul Crystals?"

Before the middle-aged man could answer, the arrogant young man eagerly replied, "What’s the point of looking for Sea Soul Crystals?"

"Finding that Thunder Cultivator is what’s important now!"

"Just providing information can earn fifty thousand Spirit Crystals, how many Sea Soul Crystals would we need to gather for so many Spirit Crystals?"

"That person probably still doesn’t know he has a bounty on his head."

"Father, we should set off quickly!"

The young cultivators beside him also nodded silently.

When they met Shen Chongming, he was outside Jin Chuan Island hunting sea Demon Beasts. After a brief conversation, they all saw the general direction Shen Chongming headed.

Only a few days have passed since then; if they follow that direction, they might really find him.

The middle-aged man was a bit hesitant at this moment. His sect was merely a Purple Mansion Immortal Sect.

Fifty thousand Spirit Crystals was equivalent to their entire sect’s income for nearly two hard-working years.

But for those small sect cultivators who navigated the Cangmin Sea Region year-round, they must deeply understand the ways of survival.

Once tainted with unwarranted karma, it could lead to their sect’s annihilation.

The middle-aged man pondered deeply and ultimately decided not to take this risk.

Fifty thousand Spirit Crystals was tempting, but who could guarantee that the person’s background was not backed by another great power?

"Forget it, don’t think about it anymore."

Suppressing his greed, the middle-aged man said solemnly, "Remember, you must never speak of having seen that Thunder Cultivator!"

"If we incur big trouble, our Qionghai Sect may be wiped out in an instant!"

"Though fifty thousand Spirit Crystals is tempting, the consequences are not something we can bear."

Upon hearing this, the younger ones all nodded solemnly.

"Let’s go; don’t be indecisive. I brought you out this time mainly for training, and perhaps to gather some Sea Soul Crystals and exchange them for some handy Magical Treasures for you little ones."

The middle-aged man said with a light wave of his hand.

The disciples heard and followed him out of Jin Chuan Island.

...

Shen Chongming was riding his flying boat, speeding over the vast sea.

It wasn’t until he had distanced himself over twenty thousand miles from Jin Chuan Island did he slightly relax.

"Boy, I think I remembered something."

"My head hurts, let me out to breathe."

On the flying boat, Shen Chongming was sitting cross-legged, and the Thunder Pool Spirit in his Dantian suddenly spoke up.

Shen Chongming slowly stopped his body’s Circulation, and waived it out.

The Thunder Pool Spirit transformed into a deep blue Exotic Beast, squatting at the bow of the flying boat, painfully hitting its head.

After pounding its head fiercely several times, the pain on the Thunder Pool Spirit’s face slightly alleviated.

It looked up at the sky above, its expression somewhat dazed.

"The heavens... have died..."

"What?" Shen Chongming didn’t hear its mumbling and asked with a frown.

The Thunder Pool Spirit shook its head and continued mumbling, "Where did they go?"

"Who went where?"

This time, Shen Chongming clearly heard its words.

The Thunder Pool Spirit thought dazedly, and suddenly numerous dense Black Thunder emerged from its body!

"Wow!"

The Thunder Pool Spirit suddenly uttered a strange cry; next, it began flapping its wings constantly, beating the Black Thunder on its body.

Despite possessing Chaos Thunder, it seemed tormented by these Black Thunder!

Upon seeing this, Shen Chongming frowned tightly, intending to use the Thunder Pool’s power to absorb the Black Thunder from it.

"Do not act rashly!"

"This is not Chaos Thunder!"

The Thunder Pool Spirit endured the pain, continuously countering the Black Thunder with its power.

Gradually, the two completely different types of Thunder intertwined and tugged, seemingly invoking some incredible force!

The once clear sky suddenly spawned numerous dark clouds!

Strong sea winds blew against them!
