Chapter 742 - 738: Taking Objects from a Distance

Chapter 742: Chapter 738: Taking Objects from a Distance

A hand had just deposited Xu Zihao and Bai Yu on the mountain peak where they now stood. Just as they were about to act, they saw a black miasma shrouding the distance.

In a mere instant, the black miasma swept across an area stretching for dozens of miles.

All life withered and died, and the landscape itself changed color.

The terrifying nature of the black miasma made both of them turn pale.

Immediately afterward, however, both of their eyes lit up.

They saw Lin Hao step forward to confront the expert from the Ten Thousand Poison Sect.

At first, they were worried, but after seeing what Lin Hao did next, their worry turned into sheer astonishment.

That was a Sealed Martial Realm Martial Artist. They had just learned firsthand that they were utterly powerless against such an opponent.

But when Lin Hao made his move, he annihilated him effortlessly.

If they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, they never would have believed it had actually happened.

The next moment, Lin Hao vanished from that spot and appeared silently before them.

Slightly startled, they quickly offered their congratulations.

Lin Hao’s recovery was definitely good news for them. Seeing him render a Sealed Martial Realm expert utterly helpless made their confidence in him soar.

However, Lin Hao’s next words made their smiles freeze.

"I haven’t recovered. My meridians are only temporarily reconnected. You two hide well. I’m going ahead to scout things out."

They opened their mouths to speak, but ultimately just nodded.

They couldn’t be of any help right now.

After Lin Hao nodded, he simply vanished.

They were completely unable to detect any trace of him.

With his power temporarily restored, Lin Hao used the Heaven-Stepping Step to move like a ghost. It was likely that not even a Martial Artist at the Second or Third Layer of the Sealed Martial Realm could detect him.

When he combined that with the Secret Skill for concealing one’s aura taught to him by the Turtle Egg Sect, those who could find Lin Hao were few and far between.

And that was exactly what Lin Hao was doing now.

His power had not fully returned, and his seven reconnected meridians were still fragile. If he were discovered, he could handle one or two opponents, but the Ten Thousand Poison Sect clearly had far more than that.

Lin Hao’s body merged with the void as he moved silently toward the Ten Thousand Poison Sect.

The poisonous miasma grew thicker, and all sorts of venomous creatures came into his view.

But these creatures were completely unable to detect Lin Hao.

After a few breaths, Lin Hao stopped.

Ahead of him, buildings were faintly visible through the haze.

At the same time, he heard mocking laughter.

Concealing his aura even more thoroughly, Lin Hao drew closer.

"Xia Yunpeng, tell me. You’re the great Sect Leader of one of the four major sects on the Huang Yang Continent, and now you’re a prisoner building the Ten Thousand Poison Palace for us. I’d love to know how you’re feeling right now."

"Hey, don’t just ask him. There are two others over there."

"I never thought I’d see the day we’d be ordering around three great Sect Leaders. Hey, old man, stop dawdling and move faster! If you can’t build this Ten Thousand Poison Palace right, you’re in for a world of hurt!"

"Hahaha, joining the Ten Thousand Poison Sect was the best decision of my life."

Hidden in the void, Lin Hao witnessed a scene that gave him pause.

Below, dozens of people in tattered clothes were hauling stones to construct a palace.

Their guards numbered only a few, and their cultivation was merely at the Soul Gathering Realm.

These few guards looked utterly smug, their expressions turning especially triumphant when they looked toward three specific individuals.

Lin Hao’s gaze swept over the trio, and he immediately recognized them as the Sect Leaders of the other three major sects of the Huang Yang Continent.

They had been afflicted with a strange poison, brought under the control of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect, and reduced to prisoners.

A glint flashed in Lin Hao’s eyes, and then his figure flickered.

The next moment, the bodies of the dozens of people below all stiffened for a fraction of a second before returning to normal.

It happened so quickly that not even their few guards noticed anything amiss.

By now, Lin Hao had already left the Ten Thousand Poison Sect’s grounds and returned directly to Xu Zihao and Bai Yu.

They were both stunned to see Lin Hao return so quickly.

Without saying a word, Lin Hao tapped a finger to the center of Xu Zihao’s forehead.

Lin Hao poured a vast amount of knowledge regarding Alchemy Skill into Xu Zihao’s mind.

After doing this, Lin Hao told Xu Zihao to begin Refining a certain medicinal pill.

Once Xu Zihao finished digesting the knowledge Lin Hao had imparted, he was about to head out to find the various Spirit Grasses needed for the pill.

Lin Hao, however, shook his head and simply reached out his hand.

Lin Hao tore open the void. When he withdrew his hand, it held a lush, green plant.

Then, Lin Hao repeated the process, reaching out again and again.

Each time his hand returned, it held another plant.

Bai Yu’s eyes went wide.

It wasn’t unusual for a Sealed Martial Realm Martial Artist to be able to tear through the void. But to see someone like Lin Hao pluck plants one by one with such pinpoint accuracy was shocking.

Xu Zihao, however, was even more astounded.

Because every single plant Lin Hao had retrieved was a medicinal herb—precisely the ones needed to refine the pill he had just described.

Herbs were inanimate objects, yet Lin Hao could retrieve them from afar. That required something more than just a high Martial Realm.

"All the herbs are gathered. You can begin now."

After Lin Hao had gathered all the required herbs, Xu Zihao and Bai Yu were still in a daze, forcing Lin Hao to speak up and prompt them.

The two snapped back to their senses. Not daring to delay, Xu Zihao closed his eyes for a moment.

A few breaths later, he opened his eyes and began Refining the medicinal pill.

"Uh, Big Bro..."

As Xu Zihao began the Alchemy, Lin Hao stepped back. Bai Yu followed, staring at Lin Hao with a fawning smile.

Lin Hao had just bestowed an immeasurable benefit upon Xu Zihao with a single touch, and now Bai Yu wanted a piece of the action.

Lin Hao naturally knew what Bai Yu was after. He sized him up and said:

"Alchemy requires talent. You must have noticed—he has a unique flame within him, making him a genius for Alchemy. What I did was merely a small push. If you had that kind of talent, I could help you too."

Hearing this, Bai Yu was instantly deflated.

But his mind quickly started racing again. "I might not be a genius at Alchemy, but my comprehension of the martial path isn’t bad. How about you teach me a move or two, Big Bro?"

This time, Lin Hao didn’t even bother to answer him, simply keeping his eyes on Xu Zihao’s Alchemy.

Bai Yu sighed and shook his head in disappointment.

An hour later, Xu Zihao’s Alchemy was a success.

He had produced a total of nine pills.

"It’s not enough." Lin Hao collected the nine pills and was about to reach out his hand again.

But in the next instant, his expression flickered. He immediately sent Xu Zihao and Bai Yu away from the area.

Just as he finished, a massive hand tore through the void and descended.

The hand blotted out the sky for miles, and the power of a Martial Realm locked down the entire area.

Everything within this region froze in place. Only Lin Hao’s eyes continued to shine brightly.

Behind Lin Hao, the Six Paths of Reincarnation manifested once more.

Six miniature worlds began to turn, and in their center, the Reincarnation Dao emerged, threatening to devour the massive hand.

Simultaneously, the force that had frozen the area vanished.

Even though Lin Hao’s power was only temporarily restored, the Six Paths of Reincarnation, when wielded by someone of the Sealed Martial Realm, was terrifying beyond measure.

At the very least, the massive hand could not escape its pull.

Ultimately, the hand was devoured by the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

Lin Hao’s figure flashed, and in the next instant, he appeared before a man in black robes.

The black-robed man was now one-armed. His eyes widened in shock when he saw Lin Hao.

He had sensed the aura of a Sealed Martial Realm Martial Artist, but he never expected that Martial Artist to be so young.

In that moment of stunned surprise, he was instantly immobilized by Lin Hao.

The aura emanating from Lin Hao’s body was terrifying beyond compare.

But the black-robed man only smiled an eerie smile.
