Standing in front of the waterfall, Sikong Jing suppressed the thought of controlling the Little Demon Beast and muttered to himself: "As long as I don’t run into Ju Hua, there shouldn’t be any issues for now on Gongyang Ying and Chou Zhan’s side."
"Based on Chou Zhan’s personality, he should first meet up with Gongyang Ying and then attract the people from the West Land at the Golden Body First Realm."
"Then, using the War Body to erupt, slay them to eliminate future troubles."
As he spoke, a gleam flashed in Sikong Jing’s eyes.
Suddenly, he pulled out a round, rolling object, which was the inner core of the Moon Swallowing Beast.
Previously, on the Divine Shuttle Craft, besides taking out the Dark Flowing Sky Mirror Claw, he also acquired this reward given by Chou Zhan...
"I must quickly reach the Golden Body Realm, otherwise, it will be difficult."
Upon saying this, Sikong Jing slowly stepped into the waterfall, letting the powerful impact of the falls wash over his body. He then sat cross-legged and entered a state of cultivation...
He wasn’t planning to look for his so-called teammates, preferring to first advance his realm and then speak.
During the Sword Grabbing Battle, he had already gauged the strength of his opponents. Although Ju Hua was at the Golden Body Fourth Realm, Sikong Jing still had the strength for a battle, but there were other Golden Body Realm talents near Ju Hua, and opponents like Wang He.
Sikong Jing had to ensure everything was foolproof, especially since he didn’t want to see Chou Zhan and Gongyang Ying perish in battle.
After adjusting his breathing, Sikong Jing took out the Moon Swallowing Beast’s inner core once again and began absorbing it...
But the next moment, he suddenly stopped, spitting out half of the Moon Swallowing Beast’s inner core.
"Half is enough for me, I’ll leave the other half for Gongyang Ying."
Gongyang Ying had the Moon Soul Battle Body, so the Moon Swallowing Beast’s inner core was very beneficial to her, thus Sikong Jing left some behind.
Without the use of Storage Space, Sikong Jing discarded half of the inner core behind the waterfall, while absorbing the other half into his body, his mind gradually visualizing the appearance of the Moon Swallowing Beast.
Subsequently, complex meridians of the Moon Swallowing Beast began to manifest.
Having already researched the Moon Swallowing Beast’s corpse, he only needed the inner core to enhance his understanding of the Moon Swallowing Beast, which could allow him to create a new Beast Skill and simultaneously condense new Demon Beast Meridians to break through Dao Inquiry and reach the Golden Body Realm.
Under the waterfall, Sikong Jing quietly cultivated, silently constructing the meridians of the Moon Swallowing Beast.
Merely within two hours, just as dawn was approaching, he suddenly opened his eyes because there were people outside the waterfall, and his Xuanbing Spirit Sword was responding.
It was precisely his so-called teammates who had arrived, and two of them at that...
"It seems the Overlord Commerce people intentionally placed the captain and team members in the same area." Sikong Jing silently mused, then paused his comprehension of the Moon Swallowing Beast meridians, sending his thoughts flying through the waterfall.
At this moment, two figures emerged from the dense forest, standing at the edge of the deep pool in front of the waterfall, with one of them exuding True Qi from their entire body.
"West Land genius, we have no enmity. Why do you relentlessly pursue me?"
Clearly, the speaker wasn’t from the East Plain West Land, whereas the person opposite was a West Land genius.
Among Sikong Jing’s seven teammates, three were from the West Land, while the other four were a mix of East Land and Southern Land.
"Southern Land genius, of course, it’s to make you submit to me, submit to our leader Ju Hua..." The West Land genius spoke with a cold smile, releasing True Qi from his entire body, clearly at the Peak of Dao Inquiry Fifth Realm, the same realm as Sikong Jing.
His voice carried arrogance, as if the West Land was superior to the other three lands.
The Southern Land genius gritted his teeth and coldly retorted, "What benefits are there in submitting to you? Could you sacrifice someone amongst the eighteen from the West Land, allowing me to pass and gain the qualification?"
Clearly, the Southern Land genius wasn’t easily defeated.
As stated, only eighteen could pass in the quota battle, leading to the Central Plains and obtaining large rewards.
Submitting to Ju Hua, if the West Land suffered no losses within their eighteen, they couldn’t easily spare a spot for outsiders.
Hence, for the other three lands, submission held no meaning unless someone from the West Land died.
Upon hearing these words, the West Land genius coldly spoke, "Of course not, but you have no choice... you must gamble that perhaps one of us will die, giving you a chance."
His words were bluntly arrogant, further adding, "Otherwise, I will have to kill you now."
The Southern Land genius exhaled lightly, his eyes flashing coldly, saying, "Then let’s see, I want to see how you’ll kill me."
The two immediately clashed. The Southern Land genius was equally strong, also reaching Dao Inquiry Fifth Realm, and they fought ferociously.
Sikong Jing remained behind the waterfall, without any intention to intervene.
And as the two geniuses from the South and West clashed, the sky gradually brightened with light, when at that moment, a ship’s silhouette glided past the waterfall, then stopped above it.
It was none other than Yao Yuzhi’s Divine Shuttle Ship.
Yao Yuzhi and the decision-makers from the four lands stayed above, all watching the fierce battle below.
At this time, the top decision-maker from the East Land turned to Lang Zhengzhi and said, "How amusing. If I’m not mistaken, they should all be teammates of your one-armed fool, yet they’re already fighting."
Although in front of the waterfall there was one from the Southern Land and one from the West Land, both were closely related to Sikong Jing.
Elder Mo and Lang Zhengzhi had no intention to respond; they had completely lost hope in this quota battle.
Below, the two fighting did not notice the Divine Shuttle Ship’s presence and continued their fierce battle.
At this moment, the Southern Land genius quickly retreated and coldly stated, "West Land genius, I heard you all gained a reward from Ju Dan, which rapidly increased your realm."
"As expected, even at the Peak of Dao Inquiry Fifth Realm, you’re nothing special without foundation."
"Like your Ju Dan, a little credit makes you think you’re so amazing, but it’s just empty-headed trash."
At this, the Southern Land genius sneered repeatedly, eyes filled with mockery.
In the confrontation with the West Land genius, although the Southern Land genius was slightly weaker in realm, he was not at a disadvantage.
Previously, there were rumors that Ju Dan received many rewards from Ba Lie Venerable, forcibly enhancing the West Land genius’ realm, but the strength of such forced enhancement slightly lagged in combat.
Due to time constraints, they hadn’t had time to consolidate their realms.
His words clearly reached the Divine Shuttle Ship above, and everyone instinctively looked at Ju Dan, whose expression was exceedingly dark.
Although the Southern Land genius spoke truthfully, it was not pleasing to her ears.
"Elder Ju, I’ll teach this big-mouthed kid a good lesson."
Southern Yin Elder reluctantly spoke, hoping Ju Dan wouldn’t mind. Yin Elder really didn’t want to offend Ju Dan.
However, Ju Dan merely snorted coldly, saying, "No need, you won’t have the chance to teach a lesson... see who that is over there."
With that, Ju Dan suddenly pointed to the top of the waterfall...
At this moment, a figure was rapidly descending toward the base of the waterfall, it was the second West Land genius.
This individual was also a member who joined Chou Zhan’s team, equally exuding the aura of the Peak of Dao Inquiry Realm.
Everyone on the ship’s pupils contracted sharply, watching the second West Land genius flash down from the top of the waterfall.
With a booming sound, he landed heavily behind the Southern Land genius, pulling out a sinister and terrifying smile.
