...
Chen Huaian chuckled softly, tacitly agreeing.
Most of Hua Jin the True One's words were just polite formalities, mutual business flattery to build closer relations.
But what would she think if she knew the person she was recommending would soon be the one snatching the Celestial Jade Marrow?
Of course, Chen Huaian would definitely keep this matter buried deep until all enemies were eliminated.
...
Time passed minute by minute.
When the purple energy above the basin condensed into a substance-like spring flowing down from the sky.
The entire firmament was dyed a magnificent purple-gold.
The ground's tremors intensified, emitting a low, humming vibration.
The air was filled with refreshingly pure spiritual energy, mixed with a trace of ancient, mysterious aura.
Hua Jin the True One stood up from the rock, her aura gradually rising, her blue robes fluttering without wind.
In her hand, she held a folding fan flowing with watery light patterns, making her gentle face appear even more serene.
Only her eyes were cold as ice.
They only showed a bit more affection when looking at Wang Shouyi.
Chen Huaian found a spot to sit in front of the Kunlun Immortal Palace disciple team, having already set up a table, chairs, melon seeds, and mineral water. He pondered whether to get a big watermelon too, but felt it might be somewhat impolite.
After all, everyone was watching!
Opposite them, the Great Thunder Temple had sparse personnel, only three to five arhats.
Clearly, the demon immortal avatar hadn't had time to cultivate followers and forces after descending.
The Great Thunder Temple wasn't as attractive to other ascenders as the Kunlun Immortal Palace.
So in terms of numbers, they seemed somewhat pitiful.
Chen Niu also seemed aware they lacked momentum in numbers.
But he had his own methods to boost the Great Thunder Temple's presence.
When quantity is insufficient, quality makes up for it.
Boom—!
Chen Niu's kasaya billowed, the eerie purple-black energy around him strangely blending with solemn Buddhist light, forming a constantly twisting halo.
The ground beneath his feet cracked silently, spiderweb-like fissures spreading several zhang.
Those bronze-bell-like fiery eyes locked firmly onto Hua Jin the True One, undisguised killing intent and brutality in their gaze.
The space behind him slightly distorted, faint dull beast roars emerging, with an ox-headed, snake-bodied law manifestation flickering in and out of sight.
"Fellow Daoist Hua Jin," Chen Niu the monk's voice grated like rolling stones, vibrating the air, "The Celestial Jade Marrow, ten pieces in total! My Great Thunder Temple demands seven! This is the Buddha's decree, not to be defied! Remembering our past fellowship, I'll leave three for you. Quickly step aside to avoid damaging our harmony!"
As he spoke, his large palm-sized hands clenched into fists, knuckles cracking audibly.
Demonic energy and Buddhist light collided, sparking tiny electrical sparks at his fist tips as a display of power.
Seemingly telling Hua Jin the True One.
If she didn't know what was good for her, these fists would smash into her head.
"Hah!" A faint, almost imperceptible cold smile played on Hua Jin the True One's lips. Her folding fan snapped open with a soft swish, stirring a breeze that dispersed the increasingly viscous pressure before her: "Master Chen Niu has quite the appetite. Heaven and earth's rare treasures belong to the virtuous—how can they be decided by your single decree? Want seven? Why not... try taking them by force."
What Buddha's decree?
It was just those lords' commands.
Chen Niu had those lords behind him.
Didn't she have them behind her too?
They were all pieces on the Go board—neither had anything more to say.
Both their auras rapidly intensified.
In cultivation level, Hua Jin the True One was certainly inferior to Chen Niu, but with Zhang Yibai's great formation protecting her, it blocked part of the pressure.
In the end, they actually reached a stalemate?
But the ascenders on the surrounding mountains weren't faring well.
At this moment, the air seemed to solidify under the pressure, every breath becoming a luxury.
"Heavens, is this the aura of Void Shattering mighty ones? I can't breathe..." A Nascent Soul initial stage cultivator turned pale, cold sweat beading on his forehead, swallowing with difficulty.
"Look at Master Chen Niu! Demonic energy soaring to the heavens! Isn't the Great Thunder Temple a Buddhist sanctuary? Why does it feel more sinister than demons!" Someone pointed at the distorted halo around Chen Niu the monk, voice trembling with fear.
"Shh! Quiet! Do you want to die? Can't you see his eyes want to devour people!" His companion hastily covered his mouth, casting terrified glances toward Chen Niu.
"Her Eminence Hua Jin truly deserves to be the righteous path leader. Facing such a demonic monk, her composure remains unshaken!" Some cultivators looked at Hua Jin the True One with admiration.
"Fight! Fight quickly! When they're both wounded, maybe I can snatch an opportunity!" In a dark corner, a gaunt-faced, shifty-eyed Nascent Soul cultivator licked his lips, whispering to his companion while secretly gripping a black talisman emitting ominous energy.
"Snatch an opportunity? With your skills? The slightest stray energy from either of them could crush you to dust! Stop dreaming, watch quietly. Being able to witness such a battle is already a tremendous opportunity!" His companion was clearly more sober, but his gaze remained fixed on the basin center, obviously also calculating something.
"Truly, when immortals fight, mortals suffer... Let's retreat further, further back!"
On the periphery, some lower-level ascenders had already begun quietly withdrawing, afraid of being caught in the impending storm.
Those with cultivation below Foundation Establishment certainly had no chance with the Celestial Jade Marrow.
But where the Celestial Jade Marrow was born, the dense spiritual energy wouldn't disperse for three to five days. Cultivating here would still benefit them greatly.
Just as silence fell over everything, all eyes focused on the basin center.
Hum!
A clear, melodious hum suddenly resonated between heaven and earth, like jade striking jade, or the first sounds of celestial music.
At the basin core, blinding purple-gold radiance erupted violently, like three miniature purple suns simultaneously leaping from the ground!
Three brilliant light pillars shot skyward.
Inside each light pillar was encased a jade stone the size of an infant's fist, completely crystal clear, containing deep purple flowing light like a starry river within.
As they appeared one by one, unimaginably vast, pure spiritual energy swept outward like a tsunami, slightly dispersing the purple-gold clouds in the sky.
The premium Celestial Jade Marrow had manifested!
Compared to last time's meager offering, this time three appeared at once!
Just as everyone's gazes and minds were captivated by the magnificent spectacle of the Celestial Jade Marrow's appearance.
Mingling at the edge of the ascender crowd.
A young woman wearing a plain white veil, her aura completely concealed—moved like a stone thrown into calm waters!
Li Qingran's figure left a faint afterimage where she stood, her speed surpassing the visual tracking limits of most cultivators, like a white lightning bolt merging with the light, heading straight for the two nearest Celestial Jade Marrows that had just emerged from the earth.
Her timing was absolutely perfect.
Right at the golden moment when treasures manifested, spiritual energy surged chaotically, and everyone's attention was divided.
In the Cangyun Realm, Li Qingran had seen too many treasures with Chen Huaian.
The Celestial Jade Marrow was indeed good, but not enough to make her lose composure.
Her Master told her to take one Celestial Jade Marrow and withdraw.
But she wanted to take two!
One to complete the mission, the other to claim credit and dual cultivate with her Master!
