391 Heavenly King Seal
While the two people in the Dao heart realm cultivators were still chasing him, Yuchi had already passed the 333rd altar and reached the 334th altar.
The entire process had been simple and uneventful to him. Those inner demons that troubled others were simply eradicated with a simple pal strike.
The reason why there was a one-year agreement was because there were 334 altars here. On average, it worked out to around one altar a day.
It was also a form of performance measurement. If one started taking longer than a day to pass an altar, it was a sign that the cultivator was reaching their limits, and should probably stop soon to avoid taking on an inner demon that might kill them.
Currently, those two people were stuck on the 313th altar. To them, the inner demons there were already quite ferocious.
After the two of them finally killed the inner demons on the altar, they plopped down on the ground to recuperate, despite how uncomfortable the grooves on the ground were.
At the same time, there were traces of dried blood on the ground, indicating that people had died here, specifically, Dao heart realm cultivators.
There were so few Dao heart realm cultivators in the world, yet this place had been the burial place of a number of them. Seeing this was a stark realization of their own vulnerability and mortality.
“I think we should properly apologize to Yuchi when we leave. Otherwise, if Yuchi really attacks us later, I’m afraid that we won’t be able to resist him.”
They were sitting on this altar and staring at the other altars up above.
They had finally caught sight of Yuchi’s shadow, but he was already at the last altar, which housed a small building.
Yuchi had obviously succeeded in passing all of the altars and was in the process of trying to absorb the sea heart.
“You’re right!”
“We have to apologize to him when we leave. In fact, we will probably need to give him Heavenly Dao spiritual liquid and other treasures and compensation to safeguard our lives.”
“He’s a monster. In the short span of a day, he accomplished something that others usually take a year, or even can’t accomplish at all!”
This Dao heart realm cultivator was like a tiger whose teeth had been pulled out.
He did not even dare to speak loudly now, and even seemed somewhat docile.
Gone was the haughty expression of the person who had challenged Yuchi just a day ago.
“Sigh, who would have thought that this jinx’s guardian would be so terrifying!”
“Could it be that all of the people chosen by the Heavenly Dao are so ferocious?”
“He’s just reached the Dao heart realm!”
“We’ve seen many similar novice Dao heart realm cultivators, yet he is completely unlike any of them!”
“It appears that we provoked an existence that shouldn’t have been provoked.”
The two Dao heart realm cultivators were sighing.
It was obvious that their clothes were not as clean as when they had first arrived in the sea heart. Some parts of their clothes were even torn.
There was also a lot of blood on their faces. These were all traces left behind from their battle with the inner demons.
“Don’t talk about it anymore. I’ve learnt my lesson.”
“I’ll never provoke a Dao heart realm cultivator with a jinx by their side again in the future.”
“In fact, I’ll do my best to be friends with them!”
Although these two people did not say it outright, inwardly, they had both guessed the fates of those two Dao heart realm cultivators who had sought Yuchi out at the Holy River three years ago.
Those two people had disappeared without rhyme or reason, and everyone had completely different guesses about this matter.
Some people said that they had given up on the sea heart, while others said that they had encountered a true expert and were killed.
There were also more fanciful and fantastical guesses, but it was all mere speculation. None of them had even considered the fact that Yuchi might have killed them.
“God damn it!”
“This Yuchi is too f*cking fierce! It’s like he’s on a stroll in the park. He even brought that jinx along with him for the ride.”
“Motherf*cker!”
“This is too terrifying!”
Who would have thought they would ever see something like this happen?
…
In the building, Yuchi said, “Hanjiang, just cultivate by my side quietly. If something dangerous happens, I’ll wake up immediately.”
Yue Hanjiang nodded obediently.
She had witnessed her master casually killing the inner demons on each altar like it was child’s play.
To others, it might have seemed like he was in a rush, but in actual fact, the entire journey had been leisurely and unhurried.
It was like a max-level account steamrolling a dungeon in an MMORPG, wherein the only thing Yuchi was interested in was the final boss.
That was probably the best example.
Yuchi touched Hanjiang’s chubby little face. While Hanjiang was happily cultivating, he also looked in front of him and smiled.
“Are you the Heavenly King seal?”
