Chapter 385 - Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus' Crude Acting!
Chapter 385: Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus’ Crude Acting!
“If someone is able to purge my nine children successfully, then I will gladly gift everything on Immortal Abode Island, including my heritage and the Divine Sun Cauldron.”
The Golden Crow Thearch’s voice was nonchalant but firm. “Of course, I will not force you even if no one has any countermeasures.
“These nine platforms are where my subordinates sparred back then, and their Dao insights are branded there. If everyone were to sense carefully, then maybe you would have some enlightenment. It also counts as a small gift to everyone from me.
“There’s nothing more to say, so I bid my farewell!”
After he finished, that majestic figure disappeared back into the Divine Sun Cauldron.
Only the various sacred grounds’ Sages and Heavenly Venerables were left gazing at each other in astonishment. They were at a loss of how to make a choice.
They could sense that the nine platforms underneath them were indeed extraordinary. Not only was the clarity of all kinds of laws on the arenas 10 times higher than in the outside world, but they would also be able to get twice the result with half the effort when entering the enlightenment state.
If they were truly immersed in the enlightenment state, then they might even see the sparring sessions between the Golden Crow Thearch’s strongest cultivators from the Primordial Age.
Such sparring sessions were definitely quite useful to the later generations as they would be able to learn the Primordial Age cultivators’ precious battling techniques or even understand offensive techniques and supreme mystic arts.
Of course, the platforms would pale in comparison to the God of War Pagoda platform since the God of War Pagoda was considered an extremely precious treasure even in the Celestial World.
However, these nine platforms were completely free!
What was the best thing in the world? Of course, it’s obtaining something for free!
Therefore, even now, the Divine Firmament disciples’ eyes were also burning with passion when they looked at the nine platforms.
In an instant, many Heavenly Venerables that knew they were unable to deal with the Golden Crow vengeful spirits started sitting on the platforms and sensed the nomological marks left on them.
Meanwhile, the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader’s heavenly aura swayed as he looked at Shen Tian. “Tian’er, do you have the confidence of purging the Golden Crow vengeful spirits?”
Shen Tian was slightly stunned, but then he replied helplessly, “I could try purging it if there was only one. However, it’s definitely difficult for me to deal with two Golden Crows, not to mention purging.
“I’m only in the Golden Core stage, after all!”
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus got closer to Shen Tian and suggested, “That’s no problem. I could help you pull one away while your Master can stall two of them.
“That’s to say that as long as we aren’t so unlucky to run into four Golden Crows together, it’s not difficult for us brothers to settle them one by one.
“However, even if we’re brothers, we’ll need to set things straight. The Golden Crow Thearch will definitely reward us, so how do we split this reward?
“Junior Brother, Martial Nephew, you can’t take my share!”
Just when did my seniority rise, and I became his brother!?
Shen Tian wiped his sweat.
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader looked at Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus coldly and replied, “Tian’er has already reached the perfected stage of understanding the Imperial Sutra of Sun and formed the avatar of 10 suns spanning across the sky, so he originally has the qualifications to inherit the Golden Crow Thearch’s heritage.
“I can help Tian’er suppress those Golden Crows and purge them for free. So there’s no need to trouble Senior Brother. Stay here and try attaining enlightenment without worries!”
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus, “???”
Attain enlightenment?
You’re going to purge the vengeful spirits with your disciple and obtain treasures on the way, but you’re letting me stay in this forsaken place to attain enlightenment?
I’m not dumb. I’m very smart!
I also want to ride on Tian’er’s coattail.
According to what the Golden Crow Thearch said, the tomb can only seal the nine Golden Crows for another three months at most before they break through the seal one after the other.
To prevent any mishaps, Immortal Abode Island will automatically self-destruct after a month.
Therefore, regardless of whether the vengeful spirits are able to be purged, the remaining one month should not be wasted on the platform.
One had to know that treasures were everywhere in the tomb, and given Azure Lotus’ strength, he would be able to escape unscathed as long as more than three Golden Crows did not trap him.
In such a situation, going around to search for treasures is the way to go.
But who should I follow when doing so? Of course it’s Tian’er who is blessed by the heavens!
Didn’t you hear that dumb kid Fang Chang say they directly found the herb garden left behind by the Golden Crow Thearch after following Shen Tian?
The herbs inside were all over 10,000 years old, and even the worst herb in there was supreme-grade spirit herb.
Azure Lotus’ eyes turned green with envy!
That’s right. I definitely can’t lose sight of Martial Nephew regardless of whether those evil creatures can be purged or not.
I’m definitely going to take my share of the treasures in the tomb!
…
In the end, Shen Tian still followed his Master and left the core region. They were prepared to travel throughout the tomb to purge the Golden Crow vengeful spirits.
As for a certain old Taoist priest, he was thick-skinned to say that the tomb was too dangerous, and he was worried about Shen Tian’s safety if there was only the Sacred Leader protecting him, so he just forcibly followed them.
As for what he was thinking, only he would know.
After the various sects’ powerful beings were teleported to the core region, the huge tomb became much quieter.
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader flew through the passageway. His speed was as fast as when Shen Tian used Electric Shadow Footwork, and golden light could be seen wherever he went.
Naturally, it was partially because of his high cultivation level.
If Shen Tian was also in the Tribulation Transcendence stage, then he would definitely be the fastest man in the five regions.
“The Golden Crow Thearch’s tomb is simply too huge, and those vengeful spirits have been sealed in this tomb for 80,000 years, so their familiarity of this tomb most likely surpasses ours.”
Shen Tian thought for a moment before saying, “Master, you and Martial Uncle release powerful aura. The both of you have also defeated two Golden Crows, so they might avoid you.”
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader seemed to be deep in thought before replying coldly, “Tian’er, you mean like this?”
Just as he finished, the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader’s aura slowly became chaotic and weak. It also seemed to be filled with panic and haste as if he had been injured heavily.
If Shen Tian and Azure Lotus had not been beside the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader the whole time, even they might be unsure if the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader was really injured or not.
Sly old fox, you’re really a sly old fox!
Azure Lotus’ lips twitched as he complained in his mind.
Besides losing his f*cking emotions, Junior Brother has not changed in the past 1,000+ years.
Even though he became emotionless, he did not forget to be cunning and is still a schemer. He’s enticing the crows out of their hole and going to wipe them out!
However, although this method is sly, on second thought, it is a pretty good plan.
Yeap, I’ll do it too!
At that thought, Azure Lotus gently patted his chest, and the aura around him became chaotic. He even spat out a mouthful of blood.
“Oh no, I’m heavily injured.
“I can’t make it. I’m going to die. My ribs have been broken into pieces.
“It’s over for me. I’ve been injured so heavily in such a dangerous tomb.
“Just an ambush from any nameless fella, and it will spell my doom!”
…
A drop of cold sweat fell from Shen Tian’s forehead as he witnessed Azure Lotus’ crude acting.
Exaggerating! His acting is just too exaggerated!
Shen Tian only wanted to say, “I have cultivated the Imperial Sutra of Sun to the peak stage, so I can vaguely sense the vengeful spirits’ direction. It’s just that your aura is too powerful, so they might run away before we can even get there.
“So could the both of you, please conceal your aura and try your best not to be discovered?
“But now, the both of you actually thought of attracting them through pretending to be injured?
“Are all elders that have experienced the sacred ground’s desolate years so scheming!?”
However, looking at how crude Azure Lotus’ acting skills were, Shen Tian was really doubtful whether the Golden Crow vengeful spirits would take the bite.
They’re in the end 80,000-year-old crows, so their intelligence wouldn’t be this low, right?
However, the facts proved that this was the case…
Shen Tian could not help but tighten his grip around the Ocean Divine Hammer as he closed his eyes and sensed the few resentment auras that were rapidly closing on them.
They’ve arrived!
…
Rumble!
A ball of fire suddenly exploded at the corner of the passageway and lit up the whole passageway.
Woooooo!
Three dark red fireballs appeared before the party as they heard the screech, the fireballs emitting a blazing aura.
Two fireballs targeting the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader were filled with killing intent.
A part of the two vengeful spirits that the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader had killed before was hidden within those two fireballs.
They had revived and appeared once again after obtaining enough energy—those Golden Crows were here for revenge!
