Chapter 285: Chapter 224: Big Sweep (First Update) _2
The Big Red Bird suddenly stopped struggling, turned around, and fell to its knees before Jiang Hui with a thump.
Its inherent abilities were sending frantic warnings, implying that even full- out flight would hardly escape the lightning.
Facing this sudden reversal, Jiang Hui was somewhat unprepared.
“You are in the Void Path Realm, can’t you at least show some backbone?”
Jiang Hui spoke, but without retracting his move.
A hand as large as a mountain, hovering above the head of the Big Red Bird, like a Darksword hanging over.
Above it, thunder roared, deafeningly loud, lightning soul-stirring, shaking the heavens and earth, thoroughly desolate and destructive, and devoid of any sign of life.
“If I had any backbone, would I be able to leave here alive?” The Big Red Bird pursed its mouth, asking tentatively.
No matter what, it was comparable to a Sect Leader Level in the Upper Realm, whom wouldn’t have resorted to such measures unless the situation was desperate.
“No!” Jiang Hui shook his head decisively.
the Big Red Bird.
“I just accidentally passed by your treasure land, not realizing how high the mountain is. I beg your pardon, please spare me a way to live,” it said, its face was hopeful. Due to having half of his face pierced, one could hear a whistling sound whenever it spoke.
“Wanting to live doesn’t mean that you are sincere enough. If you continue like this, I will have to figure out how to make a better soup of you…” Jiang Hui said, controlling the huge hand of thunder to slowly descend. The faint lightning rays immediately turned the ground black.
“Great one, don’t, don’t, don’t…”
The Big Red Bird’s eyes bulged in terror, its dishevelled feathers standing on end, making it look like a startled wildcat. It hurriedly started talking.
“I am just skin and bones, not delicious at all… I am willing to make a contract with you, serving you forever, without resentment,” its desperation to survive apparent.
It had overcome 81 hardships, and expended countless years to get to its current state. It didn’t want to die, it wanted to continue struggling and get to immortality.
“I agree!” Jiang Hui nodded after a brief consideration.
To him, a living being of the Void Path Realm was definitely more valuable than a dead one.
“Thankyou, great one, for sparing my life!”
The Big Red Bird’s face lit up in relief, taking a deep sigh. No matter what, for the time being, its life was saved.
Then it honored its promise and signed a contract with its soul. It couldn’t betray the contract in its lifetime. Otherwise, it would invite indescribable disasters, causing unimaginable consequences.
Jiang Hui skimmed through it, and didn’t find any problems.
Jiang Hui was too lazy to listen to this fat bird blabber, even though the battles of those giants had ended, they had not completely left, there were remnant spirit beings left behind.
Living beings of such a realm were truly terrifying. They could seal the Great Emperor, their life spans being extremely long. With the help of longevity substances, they could live for millions of years. When they die, they would cause wonders in heaven.
Fortunately, that was just a residual spirit being. As long as Jiang Hui didn’t jump around in front of it, it would generally not notice him.
On his way back to the village, Jiang Hui made a detour to Immortal Mountain. At this moment, the Taoist Orthodoxy left in the Upper Realm was in ruins. Countless precious and rare treasure medicinal plants had been picked clean. The few Array Spirits hidden within it were all caught by the Old Woman with Medicine.
Only a few Spirit Transformation Realm errand runners were left behind, their number was very small.
As the previous mountain protection formation was broken by the Old Woman with Medicine, Jiang Hui’s appearance didn’t alarm anyone.
In no time, he directly used his Divine Ability, Dream of Millet to shield everyone’s perception.
Then he swept all the remaining treasure medicinal plants into his possession. Although these treasure medicinal plants weren’t as complete as what the Old Woman with Medicine had picked, they were also not something ordinary people could easily see. They were rare and valuable things that were rarely available for sale and hard to come by. They were only left behind because they were not in the Old Woman’s eyes.
But she was a being at the Giant Level. Unless it was genuine Divine Medicine, they would not draw her attention.
“A great harvest!”
Jiang Hui secretly estimated that in just a short time, he had collected dozens of precious and almost extinct medicinal plants.
Jiang Hui’s face beamed with joy. While others planted trees, he enjoyed the shade. Although his actions were somewhat shameful, the fact was they were very enjoyable, with the Old Woman with Medicine taking the lead. The ancestor behind the Immortal Mountain, even if they wanted to figure it out, they wouldn’ t think about other possibilities.
In addition to these valuable treasure medicinal plants, Jiang Hui collected all the useful items in this place.
However, this place is after all just a Taoist Orthodoxy inheritance in the Upper Realm. Except for these rare treasure medicinal plants, other items are not very valuable. Some metal materials maybe somewhat useful.
“Great One, what are you doing?”
The Big Red Bird had already returned to its smaller form by this time. No bigger than a palm and with a body which was even more brightly colored, it followed Jiang Hui with an astonished look on its face.
“There are so many good things here. Are you willing to let them become ownerless in the future?!” Learn from this. In the future, tasks like this will be your responsibility!”
After Jiang Hui spoke those words to the Big Red Bird, he asked it to learn, preparing it to stand on its own.
Upon hearing this,
The Big Red Bird suddenly became interested. It has a lot in common with him.
It had no sect, and the sole reason it had cultivated to this level was due to its diligent effort and luck. The thing it loved doing most was robbing those big, pompous sects.
After completely scouring Immortal Mountain, Jiang Hui and the Big Red Bird crossed the realm barrier to the Western Church.
The Sect Hierarch of this place had just had a big battle over the Taoist Orthodoxy with a Taoist. Although both had survived, they were both injured and had totally returned to the Upper Realm at the time of their weakest.
Now, only arrayed cultivators of the Rune Level remain.
Similarly, Jiang Hui copied his previous moves.
First, he used Huang Liang’s dream to block all perception of the remaining bald monks, then he entered directly with confident strides.
He actually needed to thank the Old Woman with Medicine and the Yin-Yang Taoist. Without their disruption of the formation, it’s uncertain whether he could have entered without any trouble.
“Do monks also cultivate medicine?” On the way, Jiang Hui found a lot of medicinal fields, all of good quality. Even though they were now in a dilapidated state, they could still be used after a rinse.
As a frugal man, he collected them all.
There were many rooms, endlessly connected, with as many as a hundred rooms.
“Such a strong smell of rouge!”
Jiang Hui sniffed a strange smell, very much like the smell of rouge powder on women’s bodies, and not just in one place.
But the scent of rouge powder was not mainly coming from those rooms, even though it was faintly there.
He looked curious and let his Five Senses spread out like ripples…
The next moment.
Inside a palace underneath,
a large group of naked female bodies came into his field of vision.
All these women were completely naked, young and beautiful, their faces in a stupor as they enthusiastically pressed their bodies towards the bald monks all around…
“This Western Church is quite exotic, relying on the harmony of Yin and Yang to recover from injuries. Instead of calling it ‘Western Church’, wouldn’t it be better to call it ‘Joy Sect’ as it’smorein line with their doctrine?!”
After a quick glance, Jiang Hui turned his eyes away.
He raised an eyebrow. He had never had a good impression of monks, and now his disdain only grew.
However, one was willing to take, and the other was willing to give.
The bald monks didn’t cast any enchantments, yet the women were eager to give themselves, even showing jealousy towards each other. They were clearly beyond cure.
He didn’t care about such matters.
“Is that… a Buddhist relic?” Jiang Hui’s gaze shifted, attracted by a luminescent glow in a lake not far away.
He flew over and stretched out his hand to catch the luminescent item.
It turned out to be a Buddhist relic, though not a complete one but just a tiny bit the size of a grain of rice.
But even this small bit was enough to excite Jiang Hui.
This was a genuine treasure. Even if it was fragmented, it still possessed miraculous powers. After all, the Six Feet Golden Body of the Sect Hierarch of the Western Church was formed from a broken ancient monk’s relic found in the Forbidden Area.
“Take it all away!” Jiang Hui wouldn’t hold back. Whatever he saw, useful or not,
the Big Red Bird was even more “excessive”.
It even collected the wooden beams used to build the palace, intending to take them all…
