Chapter 972: Allocation

Meng Zhang took cover under Grandma Qiansi's magic tool, not worrying about being harmed by the aftermath of the battle.

Like everyone else, he was attentively observing this battle.

In fact, the direct clash between the great powers of "Return to Emptiness" was a rare occurrence. Not to mention him, even cultivators like Lu Tianshu, a True Monarch in the late stage of Primordial Spirit, would rarely encounter such a situation.

Within the Grand Dust World, the "Return to Emptiness" great powers rarely appeared openly. Their battles were strictly restricted.

Only within this vast and boundless extraterritorial void could the "Return to Emptiness" great powers fight without restraint, displaying their terrifying combat prowess without any reservations.

Grandma Qiansi's fighting spirit was not high; this battle held little meaning for her.

In her eyes, she had been reactive from the beginning to the end.

If it weren't for the excessive provocations of the Guarding Sea Temple, she wouldn't have chosen to confront them head-on.

However, she was now caught in a difficult situation and had to reluctantly exchange a few moves with her opponent.

In Meng Zhang's perspective, the Grand Dao's power in the surrounding void was exceptionally chaotic.

Space was collapsing, anomalies were rampant. It seemed as though the entire universe, the entire world, was boiling and descending into chaos.

Although Grandma Qiansi's momentum had weakened somewhat, appearing to be at a disadvantage, it wouldn't be a simple task for the other side to defeat her completely in a short amount of time.

If it weren't for the lingering frustration in her heart, Grandma Qiansi would have considered retreating.

On the other hand, the old man from the Guarding Sea Temple named Hai Kong exhibited high morale and abundant vitality. He seemed determined to bring down Grandma Qiansi.

Just as the two were locked in an intense battle with no clear victor, another intruder arrived.

Laughter echoed from a distance.

"You bunch of hairless monkeys are actually squabbling amongst yourselves here."

"Well, since we have nothing better to do, this Demon Lord will play with you all."

A massive elephant hoof descended from the sky, heavily landing at the center of the battlefield.

The entire void experienced intense fluctuations, with countless small pockets of space being forcibly torn apart.

The enormous shockwaves spread in all directions, encompassing Grandma Qiansi and the "Return to Emptiness" great power from the Guarding Sea Temple within their attack range."It's really bad luck to run into this brainless brute," Grandma Qiansi muttered under her breath.

This was the battlefield where the Human Clan from the Grand Dust World faced off against the Barbarian Clan from the Myriad Monster World. Both races had numerous powerhouses hovering around. Among them were the "Return to Emptiness" great powers and monster lords.

Originally, the battle between Grandma Qiansi and the old man from the Guarding Sea Temple had been observed by both Human Clan and monster race members, who were hidden in the shadows with a voyeuristic curiosity.

However, the bellicose and domineering Divine Elephant Monster Lord happened to be nearby.

This crude and willful individual had a strong penchant for battling opponents of the same level.

Encountering the duel between Grandma Qiansi and the old man from the Guarding Sea Temple, regardless of their races, the Divine Elephant Monster Lord immediately joined the fight.

The Divine Elephant Monster Lord disliked retaining a human appearance and preferred to manifest its true form.

A colossal elephant, immense as a mountain, descended from the sky and appeared on the battlefield.

Almost simultaneously, the Divine Elephant Monster Lord attacked both Grandma Qiansi and the old man from the Guarding Sea Temple.

The surging monster aura filled the surrounding void, causing the entire expanse to tremble beneath its influence.

Faced with the overwhelming force of the Divine Elephant Monster Lord, Grandma Qiansi and the old man from the Guarding Sea Temple had no choice but to abandon their fight against each other and deal with their own troubles first.

A series of intense collisions unfolded in the void, causing countless spatial layers to collapse. The void seemed as fragile as paper, folding and tearing apart with ease.

Grandma Qiansi, who had already been lacking in fighting spirit, became even more inclined to retreat after the arrival of the Divine Elephant Monster Lord.

Normally, when two "Return to Emptiness" great powers from the Human Clan of the Grand Dust World encounter a monster lord from the Myriad Monster World, they should cooperate, join forces to tackle the Divine Elephant Monster Lord together.

However, the guardedness between Grandma Qiansi and the old man from the Guarding Sea Temple exceeded their wariness toward the monster race, leaving no foundation for cooperation.

Grandma Qiansi, a cultivator with a loose background, was quite slippery. Seizing an opportunity, she proactively fled the battlefield, leaving the old man from the Guarding Sea Temple behind to face the Divine Elephant Monster Lord alone.

Her abrupt departure infuriated the old man, his beard trembling in anger.

In the face of the Divine Elephant Monster Lord's relentless pressure, the unique arrogance of the Holy Land Sect cultivator was ignited. Regardless of the consequences, he engaged in a fierce battle with the Divine Elephant Monster Lord.

The surrounding void had suffered significant damage in the preceding battle, making it unsuitable for employing extensive spatial shifts.

Grandma Qiansi moved far away from the battlefield before finally executing a large-scale spatial shift, heading toward the Grand Dust World.

Being inexplicably embroiled in a battle against an equal-level opponent left her feeling rather vexed.Fortunately, the detestable old man from the Guarding Sea Temple was entangled by the Divine Elephant Monster Lord, which improved Grandma Qiansi's mood slightly.

On their way back to the Grand Dust World, Grandma Qiansi hardly paused, leading everyone in using spatial shifts.

After several large shifts, they smoothly returned to the Grand Dust World without encountering any unexpected events.

Back at the Heavenly Palace, after a brief rest, they began to distribute the pure jade inspiration.

No one concealed anything; they all honestly presented the pure jade inspiration they had obtained in the Radiant Burst Domain, waiting for Grandma Qiansi to allocate it.

No one would deceive or offend a "Return to Emptiness" great power for a bit of pure jade inspiration.

Furthermore, Lu Tianshu, the True Monarch, had been with everyone throughout, and Meng Zhang and the others couldn't hide their gains.

Grandma Qiansi didn't say much; she directly collected half of all the pure jade inspiration as her reward.

This distribution plan had been discussed in advance.

Although Grandma Qiansi hadn't personally participated in obtaining the pure jade inspiration, without her escort along the way, the group might have been forever trapped near the Radiant Burst Domain.

Originally, Lu Tianshu, the True Monarch, planned to distribute one-quarter of the pure jade inspiration. However, to compensate for everyone's efforts against the Guarding Sea Temple disciples, he added his own half of the pure jade inspiration and handed it over to Meng Zhang and the others.

In this way, Meng Zhang, Yang Xueyi, Xu Mengying, Jin Li, the True Monarch, and He Luo, the True Monarch, would collectively receive three-quarters of the pure jade inspiration.

Additionally, the three Primordial Spirit True Monarchs and four Monster Kings killed in the Radiant Burst Domain would be distributed among Meng Zhang and the other five.

During that battle, Lu Tianshu, the True Monarch, exerted a great deal of effort.

If he hadn't forcibly suppressed their opponents with his Primordial Spirit late-stage Cultivation Base, Meng Zhang and the others wouldn't have dispatched their opponents so easily.

Lu Tianshu, the True Monarch, not participating in the distribution of these spoils could be considered a sincere apology.

Meng Zhang and the others couldn't blame him and could only silently pray.

They prayed that the Guarding Sea Temple's attention would remain fixed on Grandma Qiansi and Lu Tianshu of the Sea Spirit Sect, overlooking their insignificant presence.

In reality, the Jiang Family brothers from the Guarding Sea Temple hadn't recognized Meng Zhang and the others' identities; they had mistaken them for either cultivators of the Sea Spirit Sect or affiliated cultivators of the Sea Spirit Sect.

Grandma Qiansi also assured everyone not to worry about retaliation from the Guarding Sea Temple.

After all, they hadn't exposed their identities, so there was no need to fear being targeted by the Guarding Sea Temple.

Furthermore, with her and the Sea Spirit Sect at the forefront, if the Guarding Sea Temple wanted trouble, they would trouble them first.
