Novel Full Chapter 344 - 200: Scramble
Evergreen True Monarch was the Dao name of the unparalleled Saint Heir from Taihao Sacred Land a thousand years ago, once acclaimed as the most promising prodigy to follow the footsteps of the Immortal Ancestor from Taihao Sacred Land.
Yet, over a thousand years ago, he was suddenly expelled from Taihao Sacred Land and wanted across the world.
For a long period since then, Evergreen True Monarch vanished without a trace, and many in Central Domain suspected he was secretly eliminated by Taihao Sacred Land, gradually fading from memory.
Who would have thought that one day, the Black Water Commerce Association, secretly supported by Taihao Sacred Land, suddenly began to face unanticipated attacks.
Eventually, the Wuxiang Sect emerged.
Only then did the world realize, Evergreen True Monarch had already ascended to True Monarch and established a sect, as if holding a bitter enmity against Taihao Sacred Land, retaliating furiously.
Unfortunately, he hid within the Ten Thousand Poison Swamp; if High-Tier Nascent Soul cultivators from Eastern Desolation entered the swamp, they would be driven away by two major sects within, allowing him to remain unharmed.
Until the eventual outbreak of the demon dao war, turmoil in Yan Kingdom, and Evergreen True Monarch led Wuxiang Sect in a fierce resistance against the demon dao, ultimately dying and dissipating in body.
“Indeed, it’s that rebellious disciple!”
“Hmph, this child must be that rebellious disciple’s apprentice, he should return to the Sacred Land to be punished on behalf of his master!” Taihao Sacred Land’s old ancestor snorted coldly, unusually determined.
Shangguan Qingming frowned slightly, a glimmer flashing in his eyes, but did not agree.
Li Jizhou, a mere loose cultivator with a Lower-grade Spirit Root, somehow reached this level in just two hundred years, his fortune surely involves more than just Taihao Sacred Land’s Immortal Scripture.
He has immense research value.
“An Immortal Golden Core with such abundant Golden Pattern Dao Charm flowing around it, what is that?” Suddenly, the most powerful Divine Soul of the Wang family’s old ancestor scrutinized Li Jizhou’s Dantian.
Seeing the layer of Heaven and Earth Cage outside the golden core, he was shaken to the core.
“Hiss~ This… could it possibly be the rumored Celestial Net imprint, Heaven and Earth Cage?” Suddenly, the Jiang family’s old ancestor pondered.
“Heaven and Earth Cage!”
In Ancient Times, the Celestial Dao was natural, regardless of one’s aptitude, those with profound fortune had the opportunity to prove the Dao, and the Celestial Dao never interfered.
However, since the era of the Immortal Antiquity, Celestial Thunder descended, changes befell the Celestial Dao, limiting potentials.
This caused even those with profound fortune, without exceptional aptitude, to be incapable of proving the great Dao.
Especially after some dynasties and families exhausted resources for their less talented offspring, only to be obliterated by Celestial Thunder for going against natural order, no one dared defy the heavens anymore.
No one expended effort to provide cultivation resources to those lacking talent.
Without aptitude, and no offerings, naturally one cannot accumulate sufficient resources to form a Golden Core.
Such situations have been almost forgotten by people.
Surprisingly, today, it is seen once more.
Moreover, he is merely a loose cultivator, without support, yet defies the heavens, forming an Immortal Golden Core.
How immense must this fortune be?
How many spiritual objects for Core Formation did he obtain?
“Everyone, this child’s Divine Soul is unlike others, he likely stole our Wang family’s divine soul secret technique, I must investigate this!” The Wang family’s old ancestor suddenly spoke.
The other four exchanged glances but remained silent, each understanding the matter fully.
“Boom!” At this moment, an unexpected change occurred in the duel below.
The nine at the Late Stage of Core Formation surrounding Shangguan Liuyun at Golden Core Peak, under the oppression of his Third Grade Spiritual Treasure, initially stood little chance.
However, the nine held a resolve to die, without reservation, even exchanging injuries for injuries.
This made Shangguan Liuyun struggle to defend.
At this moment, his Golden Core domain was finally unleashed.
Instantly, flying flowers filled the sky, reigning over the world.
The nine’s assault immediately slowed.
Each was blocked by a vibrant flower.
Yet, in life-and-death struggles, the advantage arduously gained by the nine could not simply be eased down?
“Kill!” Ye Jingyu erupted with vital energy, merging with his sword, single-handedly standing before the others, aiming to pierce through the nine flowers, creating opportunities for the eight behind him.
“Bang!” Unfortunately, his Spirit Sword was damaged, his energy not at its peak; merging with the sword, he failed to create a miracle, breaking through three flowers, before being blasted away by the fourth.
But the eight behind him did not disappoint, swiftly converging their strongest Dharma Aspect, using their bodies to forcibly collide, hoping to break through the flower barrier and close in on Shangguan Liuyun.
“Boom boom boom!” In an instant, the eight wielded various means, forcibly clashing with the flying flowers, step by step drawing closer to Shangguan Liuyun.
At the point when five more were blasted away, Yu Ziyu, Jiang Li, and Li Jizhou had already reached Shangguan Liuyun.
“Jade Sea Tide Birth!” Jiang Li instantly activated his domain.
Even though due to the difference in Dharma Aspect grades, there was intrinsic suppression, yet upon eruption, the surging waves cleared the flowers before Shangguan Liuyun.
“Bang!” As the surging waves receded, a giant mountain crashed heavily; it was Yu Ziyu’s Yuanzhi Mountain.
Crash!
Shangguan Liuyun’s energy surged, struck retreating three steps by that hit, the majesty he hadn’t yet revealed evaporating completely.
The next instant, his face contorted with fury as he hesitated whether to deploy his Seventh Grade Spiritual Treasure.
This duel was meant to exterminate his Heart Demon.
Though he spared no means, if he personally defeats and kills these ones, he could also eliminate the Heart Demon, but, that would lack an all-conquering mindset.
And an invincible mindset was what he yearned to cultivate in his venture south to Southern Domain, only then might he further refine his Dharma Aspect domain during his Nascent Soul Celestial Tribulation.
A Third Grade Spiritual Treasure barely matched those at the Late Stage of Core Formation; if he exceeded Third Grade, yet his opponents lacked higher-tier spiritual treasures, there would be no concept of invincibility.
Even before he resolved his thoughts, a silhouette darted from behind Yuanzhi Mountain.
With a body full of sheer, sharp Magical Power integrating with flesh, charged fiercely.
“Li Jizhou!” Shangguan Liuyun’s expression slightly eased, promptly deciding not to reveal High Grade Spiritual Treasure.
After all, Li Jizhou didn’t even possess a Spiritual Treasure; earlier he had only Top-Grade Spiritual Artifacts, which were shattered by his flying flowers.
Now he arrived bare-handed.
“This young master will show you the might of Magical Power condensed with Immortal Scripture!” Shangguan Liuyun snorted coldly, his Magical Power also surged, integrating with flesh, confronting Li Jizhou.
Though Li Jizhou’s aura was the strongest among the nine, compared to the Shangguan family’s Immortal Scripture, surely it couldn’t match.
“Boom!” Instantly, the two collided with the most powerful duel method.
The five old ancestors in the sky were all on guard.
At that instant, they weren’t worried about Shangguan Liuyun, rather they feared Li Jizhou might be slain instantly.
They hoped to glean information from Li Jizhou.
If Li Jizhou was in imminent danger, they would rescue him.
After all, Shangguan Liuyun was at Golden Core Peak, having studied the Immortal Scripture left by the Shangguan family’s Ascension Immortal Ancestor from a young age, carrying multiple high-tier spirit treasures, even a Profound Celestial Treasure.
Li Jizhou, although immensely fortunate, having formed an Immortal Golden Core, his aura resembling Taihao Sacred Land’s sacred method, was still somewhat lacking.
Just as they anticipated, the moment Li Jizhou’s surging Magical Power clashed with Shangguan Liuyun,
the dark cyan Mana Shield clearly weaker than gilt gold, in mutual grinding, a depression emerged, and step by step it was breached.
Shangguan Liuyun’s smile surfaced.
The five old ancestors in the sky all exuded power.
“Bang!” As expected, the next moment, Li Jizhou’s dark cyan Mana Shield finally failed under the consumption by Shangguan Liuyun’s gilded golden power.
While Shangguan Liuyun’s power remained at thirty percent.
That thirty percent might already threaten the life of a Core Formation master who lost Mana Shield protection.
The five old ancestors moved instantly.
However, just as they were about to reach him, a phenomenon arose again.
“Boom!”
Suddenly, Shangguan Liuyun was repelled, even spitting a mist of blood in midair, blood raining throughout the sky!
“This…”
“Body Refining! Body Cultivator! He is indeed a High-Tier Body Cultivator!”
“Incorrect, his body aura is completely identical to our Sacred Land’s core body refining sacred method! Already refined to the Fourth Layer… Just clearly missing core secret techniques, possessing an empty Fourth Layer realm, but only Third Layer might; otherwise at such close range, with Liuyun’s remaining Mana Shield, would be penetrated!” The old ancestor of the Barbarian Prison Sacred Land was astonished, yet rejoiced.
