Chapter 1457 - 331: Are You Out of Your Mind?

Chapter 1457: Chapter 331: Are You Out of Your Mind?

In Hanyu’s view, Shen Changqing’s strength is not weak. Being able to spar with Beili Wentian without suffering the slightest disadvantage clearly makes him a strong contender on the level of the Proud Heaven.

Of course.

Being both Proud Heavens, he is naturally not afraid of him.

Yet now, with the emergence of the Supreme Treasure at hand, and within Heaven and Earth, not only does he and his opponent exist, things aren’t that simple.

If they truly engage in a battle, it could quite likely allow other cultivators to reap the benefits.

That would be the greatest loss.

Therefore.

Even if the need arises to make a move, it is definitely not now.

Instead, it’s when the Supreme Treasure fully emerges that is the real time to act.

On the other side.

Shen Changqing also paid no attention to Hanyu.

A small Proud Heaven from the Hanjing Clan is not enough to concern him much.

At this moment.

Due to the purple light piercing the sky, other clan cultivators are starting to arrive successively.

Shortly thereafter.

There were already hundreds of cultivators gathered around the spring.

What differed was.

These arriving cultivators were each joining their respective faction’s camp.

This made the scene quite strange.

From Beili, Hanjing, and three other clans, more than a hundred cultivators arrived; and besides the Nanyang Clan, the Proud Heavens of each clan had basically all arrived.

Yet looking at the Purple Cloud Clan’s side, apart from Shen Changqing, only five of their cultivators had come.

"Saint... Saint Heir, are we really going to vie for this Supreme Treasure?"

A cultivator from the Purple Cloud Clan, witnessing the numerous cultivators from other clans, transmitted his voice with a slight tremble.

How are we supposed to fight?

Even if each of us can defeat ten, it’s impossible to contend with any clan.

Upon hearing this.

Shen Changqing shook his head slightly, calmly saying, "No need to worry, just watch."

While speaking, he scanned the five cultivators on his side, all seasoned God Realm members of the Purple Cloud Clan. As for substitute Holy Sons of each peak, not a single one was present.

Given the strength of each peak’s substitute Holy Sons, unless confronting the Proud Heavens of other clans, they would not face the possibility of falling, no matter the danger.

Even if one or two were to die due to bad luck, it wouldn’t be that all would perish.

However.

Now, not a single substitute Holy Son had shown up.

Shen Changqing roughly understood the thoughts of these substitute Holy Sons.

"It seems they still harbor resentment over my becoming the Saint Heir, wishing to sabotage me here."

He shook his head silently.

Unfortunately.

These substitute Holy Sons have underestimated me entirely.

Once things are over, I will have time to settle scores with them.

"Are the cultivators from the Purple Cloud Clan all dead, how come only a mere five or six have shown up?" Hanyu suddenly sneered.

Upon hearing this.

Shen Changqing glanced at him, not bothering to engage.

Elsewhere.

Beili Wentian displayed a cruel smile: "Can’t say whether they’re all dead, but I did personally kill one. Do you know how he died? I first crushed his bones bit by bit before finally ending his life.

Too bad you couldn’t witness that scene, it was truly tragic."

"Are you out of your mind?"

Shen Changqing was a bit speechless.

What did he mean?

Does he think saying something like this will provoke me?

Upon hearing Shen Changqing’s words, Beili Wentian squinted slightly, hoping to detect some hidden anger on his face. But disappointingly, his expression remained unchanged, seemingly unaffected emotionally.

Seeing this.

This Proud Heaven of the Beili Clan couldn’t help but feel a chill.

"This is a formidable foe!"

Beili Wentian immediately labeled him as such.

His previous words were indeed intended to provoke.

However.

The opponent showed no sign of anger, not even an emotional shift.

This was proof that the opponent’s disposition had reached an extreme coldness, such rivals are often the most daunting.

Therefore.

After probing briefly, Beili Wentian said nothing further.

Not only was there the Beili and Purple Cloud Clans, but other clans were also eyeing them covetously, so there was no need to clash to the death with the Purple Cloud Clan.

Yet when he glanced at the Nanyang Clan, his brows furrowed slightly.

"Nanyang Liu hasn’t come?"

The current Supreme Treasure emergence could be seen clearly from anywhere in Heaven and Earth.

The current leaders of the six clans had all arrived, except for the Proud Heaven of the Nanyang Clan.

Immediately.

Beili Wentian’s heart was full of suspicion.

In his view.

Nanyang Liu couldn’t be unaware of the Supreme Treasure’s emergence, yet strangely had not made a move; perhaps preparations were underway for something else.

Considering this possibility, Beili Wentian felt a latent alert.

The anomalous behavior of the Nanyang Clan had also been noticed by the other clans.

While the other clans were quietly vigilant, Shen Changqing was indifferent.

The addition or absence of a Proud Heaven changes nothing.

Once I obtain the Innate Spirit Embryo, solve these clan cultivators, then find the Proud Heaven of the Nanyang Clan at leisure.

Such matters are merely a question of time.

Shortly after.

He didn’t think too much, and in front of all the cultivators, he closed his eyes to rest, as if he had no worries at all.

Time passed.

Soon.

Another ten days went by.

The purple light piercing the sky grew stronger with time, but as time continued, it gradually dimmed.

The formerly blooming lotus flowers also lost their luster, seemingly on the verge of wilting.

Yet the Innate Spirit Embryo within the lotus, its colorful radiance became more intense, and the holy aura spread, inciting every cultivator present.

"The Supreme Treasure is about to emerge!"

All cultivators harbored this thought in their hearts.

The scene before their eyes often signified the imminent successful birth of a Supreme Treasure.

At this moment.

"Boom!"

Once again, light erupted into the sky, vast and boundless power surged, as if declaring to the world the emergence of a Supreme Treasure.

The sudden change startled the cultivators present. They immediately turned to see where the light originated, but the distance made it impossible to see anything other than the light itself.

Light shot up into the sky.

Shen Changqing opened his tightly shut eyes, a glimmer of gold appeared and quickly vanished.

"This aura... feels familiar!"

He sensed momentarily and discerned chaos energy within the vast aura.

At this moment.

Shen Changqing was certain.

The source of the skyward-bound light was indeed the emergence of a Supreme Treasure.

Chaos Stele!

The aura was identical to that within the Chaos Stele, allowing him to conclude that this was the commotion caused by the birth of the Chaos Stele.

"No..."

"It’s not just the Chaos Stele!"

"Within this aura, there’s another, originating from a Vessel!"

Shen Changqing’s eyes flickered.

He had encountered vessels before, possessing several of them himself, though they were consumed to seal the aura of the Demon Sword.

As one who personally owned vessels, he was all too familiar with this aura.

Instantly.

Shen Changqing looked towards the direction of the Nanyang Clan.

He seemed to understand why the proud child of the Nanyang Clan hadn’t arrived despite the emergence of the Innate Spirit Embryo.

The other party was most likely staking out the vessel.

Regarding the Chaos Stele, given the perspective of ordinary clans, they might not recognize it.

"That is the aura of a vessel!"

"A vessel has emerged..."

Many cultivators sensed the unique fluctuation of a vessel within this aura.

Soon after.

They became somewhat agitated.

Vessel!

It plays a crucial role in becoming a Proof Path Divine King.

Without a vessel, regardless of how exceptional one’s talent is, suppressing an era, there’s no possibility of founding a Divine Kingdom.

However.

To abandon the Supreme Treasure about to emerge here was clearly unwilling.

"You take thirty God Realm cultivators there and make sure to obtain the vessel." Beili Wentian glanced at Beili Feng, secretly transmitting the message.

Beili Feng nodded upon hearing this and led thirty God Realm individuals away.

Moreover.

Other clans also dispatched a group of cultivators to the location of the vessel’s emergence.

On the side of the Purple Cloud Clan.

Seeing this, some cultivators secretly transmitted a message: "Saint Heir, what should we do now?"

"You all go too. If possible, contend for it. If not, just observe who takes the Supreme Treasure."

Shen Changqing thought for a moment, then spoke.

All leave?

A cultivator of the Purple Cloud Clan paused: "If we all leave, what about the Supreme Treasure here..."

"I will handle the Supreme Treasure here, no need for you to worry." Shen Changqing waved his hand, speaking calmly.

Seeing this.

Five cultivators exchanged glances and then turned to leave.

As various clans dispatched some cultivators, the blooming lotus had entirely wilted, all its power absorbed by the Innate Spirit Embryo. The withered petals turned to ashes before falling into the spring.

"Buzz!"

As the lotus wilted, the fully nurtured Innate Spirit Embryo, sensing danger, transformed into a stream of light, attempting to escape.

But as it was about to escape, a hand reached out and grasped the Innate Spirit Embryo.

In the next moment.

Shen Changqing threw the obtained Innate Spirit Embryo into the Cave Heaven.

The other clan’s cultivators were momentarily stupefied before releasing a tremendous aura.

"Hand over the Supreme Treasure!"

"Ziyan Sheng, you’re courting death!"

After waiting so long for the Supreme Treasure to emerge, only to have it taken away, how could the other clans endure?

Immediately.

Hanyu struck out, as endless divine power transformed into terrifying cold light, attacking Shen Changqing.

As divine power passed.

The void froze into a terrifying layer of ice.

Shen Changqing’s expression remained unchanged, unleashing a punch so powerful that the endless ice shattered instantly.

With the ice shattering, another earth-shaking might crashed down like a tidal wave.
