Chapter 781: Chapter 450: Planning for the Golden Elixir Spiritual Medicine_1 Chapter 781: Chapter 450: Planning for the Golden Elixir Spiritual Medicine_1 “One day, I will slaughter these two.”
Chen Mobai frowned and thought to himself as he watched Zhao Xuankang and the other man leave.
After experiencing two wars with Mountain Shaker Peak, a dismissive murderous intent towards life had unconsciously sprouted in his heart.
“Nephew Chen, there’s no need for anger, this has been the law in the Tianhe Realm since ancient times. Ever since the Mother of Water created this world, big fish eat small fish, it’s the law of the Dao.”
Zhou Shengqing walked to Chen Mobai’s side, his face no longer held the anger from before when he faced Zhao Xuankang and the other man, as if his previous expression was just for show.
“Has everything that’s been since ancient times been right?”
Chen Mobai countered with a question. Having grown up in the Immortal Sect and educated by their values, he was still not accustomed to the survival of the fittest rule in the Tianhe Realm.
His statement left Zhou Shengqing and Fu Zongjue stunned. The two Golden Core Cultivators were silent and didn’t know how to respond.
“Honored ancestors, actually giving the Void Mysterious Stone Mine to Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace may not be such a significant loss.”
At this time, Ma Gang saw that the atmosphere was slightly off and came over to say something.
“Oh, how so?”
Zhou Shengqing asked curiously.
“The Void Mysterious Stone Mine of Mountain Shaker Peak is a miniature vein and it has actually almost been exhausted. If the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace were to take over, it would probably be completely depleted in three to five years.”
As the head of the Spirit Vein department, Ma Gang had spent these days inspecting the deposits of various veins at Mountain Shaker Peak around Rock Country. Although he hadn’t finished inspecting all of them, he had nearly examined the most important veins.
He originally planned to delay reporting this not-so-good news to Fu Zongjue for a while, but now an unexpected situation had arisen.
“No wonder Ji Zhenshi has not been as generous in Eastern Yi territory these years and had to mortgage his own veins to the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace to exchange for spirit stones, it’s because he has already went broke.”
Upon hearing this, Fu Zongjue found it eye-opening and his previously dissatisfied expression cleared a lot.
If the Void Mysterious Stone Mine was still in the hands of the Divine Wood Sect, this would naturally be bad news, but now it seemed more of a good news for them.
“The disciples of the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace are all in Eastern Yi territory. If they want to send people here to mine, it will probably take some time. We can mobilize the disciples of the Spirit Vein department to thoroughly mine the three veins that are supposed to be transferred to them within this period.”
Upon hearing this, Zhou Shengqing immediately instructed Ma Gang, who nodded and set off to handle this matter.
“We should also be wary of them mobilizing the local Immortal Cultivation families for help.”
Fu Zongjue added, and Chen Mobai immediately took out his phone and informed Zhou Wangshen, asking him to send people to keep an eye on the major families still on Five Willow Mountain. Once anyone from the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace appeared, they could intervene.
Even if they couldn’t prevent them from cooperating with the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace, at the very least, they could deter them for this period, giving the Spirit Vein department more time to mine.
“With the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace establishing a branch here in the Eastern Wilderness, it seems that the rumor about their senior elder’s approaching end is true.”
After Ma Gang left, only the three of them remained at the scene.
After this war, Zhou Shengqing and Fu Zongjue had already seen Chen Mobai as the future of the Divine Wood Sect, and they no longer avoided him when speaking.
“Oh, you mean the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace fears that their senior elder will be suppressed and swallowed by the other two sects in the Eastern Yi after his death, so they’ve already set up an escape route here in the Eastern Wilderness in advance.”
Fu Zongjue, who had also visited the Eastern Yi Territory numerous times, had also heard about the struggles between the three major sects.
The struggle between the Nascent Soul Cultivators is fierce.
In the past, Elder Hun Yuan served as an external aid to the Sun Bathing Sea, and had battled with Nascent Soul Cultivators from the other two factions in the Eastern Yi.
And although outsiders do not know the exact lifespan of the senior elder of the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace, based on his cultivation time, they know he must be at least over seven hundred years old.
Although Nascent Soul Cultivators are said to live a thousand years, they frequently battle in the Tianhe Realm. Each Nascent Soul Cultivator grew up in a sea of blood and corpses, and most of them have been injured.
The senior elder of the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace has rarely battled in the past two hundred years, but he has been constantly collecting various life-extending elixirs. Various signs revealed an incoming dusk that he could not hide.
Although there are many among the Golden Core Cultivators of the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace who have tried to complete the Nascent Soul Formation, they have all fallen short.
Therefore, based on these speculations, the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace might have sent Nanxuan Jing to open a branch in the Eastern Wilderness as a way of preserving a backup plan.
“This is only my guess, but if it is indeed true, then the Xuan Xiao senior elder might use the last of his energy to blood-wash the Eastern Wilderness before his death, ensuring that his sect lineage doesn’t face strong threats for the next few hundred years.”
Once Zhou Shengqing said this, Fu Zongjue’s face looked even more worried.
“According to the style of the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace, this is very likely. The only way to break this situation is likely for you to succeed in achieving Nascent Soul Formation.”
Upon hearing Fu Zongjue’s words, Chen Mobai’s expression became very serious.
He was all too aware of the power of a Nascent Soul Cultivator. After all, in the Immortal Sect TV dramas, people of this realm were often pitted against the final villain.
If it was the eve of death, they would definitely become even crazier.
