"Damn, that guy changed places."
The next day, when Zuo Shi arrived at Spirit Domain Lake with her people, Ye Xuan had already disappeared.
"Search, we must find him."
Zuo Shi refuse to believe that Ye Xuan could hide in an uncrowded place, and she hadn’t expected that Ye Xuan would actually hide so soon, really a spineless fellow.
"Junior Sister Zuo, rest assured, as long as you give the order, I believe most disciples will assist in searching for that lad’s whereabouts; he can’t hide forever," said a young man in white next to Zuo Shi.
"That guy is very cunning, and a shameless scoundrel without principles, I suspect he might be hiding in some nook."
In Zuo Shi’s beautiful eyes, her gaze turned gloomy.
While Zuo Shi was greatly annoyed by Ye Xuan, the latter was in an unknown cave, maintaining peaceful cultivation.
Ye Xuan’s body remained absolutely still, even his breathing became extremely weak, he looked like a critically injured person, but if one were to sense closely, there was, beneath that, a vigorous vitality, like a blazing sun.
At the moment, Ye Xuan’s body contained multiple forces mixed together like a huge mishmash; if Ye Xuan didn’t properly harmonize these forces, his body might experience problems.
Using the Human Emperor’s Scepter’s Soul-devouring Array, Ye Xuan’s speed of absorbing spiritual energy had indeed become much faster than usual, probably more than ten times faster than a regular Martial Venerate expert.
About half a month later, Ye Xuan finally woke from his cultivation.
He stretched lazily, took a deep breath of the fresh air in the forest, then soared into the sky, heading out of the woods. His time spent cultivating here was about half a month, and his contribution value had also been almost consumed.
Although the consumption was immense, the effect of this enclosed cultivation was extremely good. Ye Xuan had successfully advanced to the cultivation of Sixth Grade Martial Venerable.
In comparison, contribution value was just a minor matter.
Ye Xuan smiled to himself, and after a dozen minutes, he escaped the forest, picked a direction, and soared out of the woods. But a few minutes after leaving, a surprised look appeared in his eyes.
Because he noticed that on this road, there were a plethora of figures moving in the opposite direction, their eyes fervently intense, as if there was some marvelous treasure waiting for them deep in the spirit array.
Ye Xuan was rather surprised, his form gradually stopping; squinting toward the depths of the forest, he faintly sensed some intense fluctuations of nature’s spiritual energy.
After a slight hesitation, he quickly moved, intercepted a disciple of the Heavenly Martial Holy Land who was rushing towards the depths of the mountain, and smiled: "Senior Brother, where are you all rushing to?"
"Didn’t you know? A stalk of Immortal Spirit Grass has appeared inside this mountain. Many brothers and sisters have already headed deep into the mountain range, and I must go now too, farewell."
After explaining the situation to Ye Xuan, that disciple waved his hand, said no more, and with a swift movement, dashed towards the depths of the mountain range.
"Immortal Spirit Grass, huh? This Heavenly Martial Holy Land really is a treasure land with even Immortal Spirit Grass present."
Ye Xuan stood in the sky, watching the myriad figures rushing in that direction, pondered for a moment, then quickly followed them.
Although he had only just advanced, the Immortal Spirit Grass was a heavenly treasure that, even if he did not refine it now, he would undoubtedly need later.
Heavenly treasures were rare and not to be sought after, and since he had encountered one now, it was natural to join in on the excitement. To give up would have been too much of a pity.
Deep in the mountain ranges.
The sky here exhibited a splendid array of colors. Looking forward, the sky resembled a vast, tumultuous ocean, where the magnificent spiritual energy condensed into clouds of brilliant purples and vivid reds.
Beyond that sky and ground, countless figures were already present, their eager eyes fixated on the distant valley where nature’s spiritual energy roared and surged like a tide. A terrifying pressure of spiritual power rippled through the heavens and the earth.
Under such terrifying and vast spiritual energy, even those with Semi-Saint strength appeared extremely insignificant and dared not contend with its sharpness.
This was indeed the phenomenon of a heavenly treasure’s emergence.
In front of the crowd, there were distinctly some figures, mostly disciples from the Heavenly Martial Holy Land who were quite renowned and strong. Standing here, they also possessed considerable deterrent power.
When Ye Xuan arrived, he saw this bustling scene and then descended toward a mountain peak up front. His gaze first swept over the distant phenomenon that filled the sky, the oppressive feeling hitting him in the face, making his breathing stop for a moment.
"With such a commotion, no wonder it has become known to everyone."
Seeing the spectacular scene in front of him, Ye Xuan’s expression slightly changed. Although the Immortal Spirit Grass was precious, it alone should not have caused such a stir, suggesting the possible emergence of other heavenly treasures.
After surveying the surroundings, Ye Xuan then turned his gaze to the distinct figures up front, where he saw a familiar silhouette.
Seeing the girl’s graceful and exquisite figure, Ye Xuan couldn’t help but touch his nose and unconsciously stepped aside, not expecting Zuo Shi to be here as well.
However, at the moment, Zuo Shi seemed not to notice Ye Xuan. She stood with her arms crossed, her pretty face slightly cold, looking at the sky not far to her right. There, too, was a group of people.
That group was also quite numerous. The leader, a beautiful female disciple, also had a pretty face, a sharp chin, but her thin, blade-like red lips added an unhideable air of haughtiness to the way she regarded others.
Although the two women were equally beautiful, Ye Xuan briefly glanced at them and felt Zuo Shi was somehow more pleasant, while the other woman gave off a slightly foxy vibe.
"Zuo Shi, the Immortal Spirit Grass hasn’t even appeared yet, and your Moon Spirit Association people can’t wait already. In the end, it will all be in vain; why the rush?" the tall girl said with a smile, her lips slightly curling.
"Song Ling, aren’t your Qinghua Association people the same? Your noses are even keener than a dog’s. As soon as there’s some activity, it brings you all here. But don’t you think it’s a bit early to say that? Be careful, or you might get slapped later," Zuo Shi retorted, her lips twitching coldly.
"Let’s see whose face gets slapped in the end?"
The young woman named Song Ling maintained a smile, but a hint of coldness flashed deep in her beautiful eyes.
"It looks like she won’t be bothering me for now."
Seeing the two women confronting each other, Ye Xuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, happy to see this situation that diverted Zuo Shi’s attention away from him, lest she discover him and come to cause him trouble.
