Chapter 1418 - Mystic Moon Essence
As Tang Huan got closer to the top of the round altar, those warriors subconsciously felt the urge to retreat.
If it was just him alone, he would have no other choice but to retreat, but with so many Mysterious Heaven Realm warriors, he could still fight with them. Furthermore, if they really fought, those Ghost Snakes could also become their helpers.
They were indeed opponents when fighting the Ghost Snake previously, but now, their biggest enemy was the man in black robes.
After all, after the man in black finished them off, there was no way he would ignore the Ghost Snake that was coveting the immortal gra.s.s. Even though the Ghost Snake was a beast, it definitely understood this point. From the other party"s reaction, it could be seen that the Ghost Snake Chief was already frequently looking in their direction, as if it wanted to reach a tacit understanding with them.
However, to their great surprise, after the black-clothed man walked up to the top of the round altar, he directly sat down with his legs crossed. He ignored them as if they were nothing and showed no signs of continuing to attack.
Everyone looked at each other in dismay. Although they were confused, they were secretly relieved.
The ghost snakes seemed to be puzzled as well, but they did not take the initiative to provoke him. Hence, the round altar descended into a strange silence. However, regardless of whether it was the seven Heaven Realm warriors or the six Ghost h.e.l.l Snakes, they did not let their guard down one bit.
Time flew by, and another few figures arrived at the top of the round altar.
Judging from the auras that were seeping out from their bodies, they should be the Heaven Saint Masters of Huang Ji. They only stayed around the round altar and did not dare to come up. After these Huang Ji soldiers, there were also a few others who rushed over. All of them were Heavenly Saints, the Mysterious Spirithail Dragon.
Their arrival did not cause any of those Mysterious Heaven Scholars to be displeased, but instead made them secretly rejoice. Although the increase in the number of people would reduce the chances of obtaining the Immortal gra.s.s, the more people there were, the less of a need to worry about that mysterious man in the black robe. Those Ghost Snakes also seemed to understand this principle and didn"t cause too much trouble.
Above the sky, the red sun was rising higher and higher.
Compared to before, the five tiny flower buds had expanded by several times. Strands of green aura lingered around the stem, branches, and bud. It was like smoke, like a dream or illusion, and it was filled with mystery.
As noon approached, the flower bud showed signs of blooming.
Whether it was the soldiers or the Ghost Snakes, all of their eyes were s.h.i.+ning. They were ready to make a move, and a tense atmosphere spread out from the top of the round altar.
After a while, the five flower buds of "Divine Emerald Orchid" suddenly bloomed at the same time. The emerald green light exploded outwards, covering the entire round altar in its light, and an incomparably rich fragrance spread out in this area.
However, the moment the green flower bloomed, it separated from the "Divine Emerald Orchid" and flew off in five different directions, seemingly wanting to escape.
"It"s blooming!"
Almost at the same time, a series of explosive sounds rang out. Ten or so Heaven Realm warriors and several "Ghost Shadow Snakes" shot out without hesitation, rus.h.i.+ng at the five flowers. They either stretched out their arms, channeled their Heaven Origin Energy into their palms, or opened their mouths wide to the point where their fangs were ferocious.
Seeing that, Tang Huan"s eyes flashed with a ridiculing smile. He who was originally different stood up, and with a slight movement of his feet, he had already arrived beside the "Jadeite Divine Orchid". He reached out to grab it, and the "Blue Divine Orchid", which had lost its flowers and only had the roots of its stem and branches, fell into his palm.
The Heavenly Scholars and Ghost Snakes were all fighting over the flowers of the "Jade Magnolia Divine Orchid." What they didn"t know was that the true essence of the "Jade Magnolia" wasn"t the five flowers, but the remaining stems, leaves, and roots. The Divine Orchid Flower could only harden its roots, but it could also nurture the stem of the Divine Orchid Flower.
Simply put, the flower could only refine flesh body, but the stem and other things could be used to refine a Dao Nascent Soul.
In Tang Huan"s palm, the "Jadeite Divine Orchid" had already started to dissipate, but Tang Huan was already prepared. The moment the Divine Orchid touched his palm, boundless Tian Yuan immediately rose from his palm and enveloped it tightly. In the blink of an eye, "Divine Emerald Orchid" had completely disappeared, leaving only a ball of dense green colored aura, that was wrapped in Sky Origin Qi, on Tang Huan"s right palm, that was around the size of a disk.
In fact, the process of the growth of the "Jade Magnolia Divine Orchid" was also a process of condensing the power of the divine moon and separating the impurities.
Those five flowers were the impurities that had been separated by the "Jade Light Divine Orchid", while the power of the essences was condensed into the stems, leaves, and roots. Of course, to cultivators, the impurities were also a treasure, but this kind of treasure was incomparable to the essences of the stems.
"If I can refine this lump of divine moon essence, then the growth of my Dao Soul will definitely be beyond my imagination."
Tang Huan smiled.
But in the next moment, he couldn"t help but raise his eyebrows. Within his mind instructs (in a second), five hundred crystals trembled crazily and all the Sky Origin Stage power in his body was mobilized.
"Leave the things for this old man!"
It was also at this time that a loud shout suddenly shook the heaven and earth. An abnormally powerful burst of heavenly might swept over like a storm from afar, its might overflowing the heavens, as if it wanted to crush Tang Huan into fine powder.
Accompanying the appearance of the heavenly might was a white figure, whose speed was unbelievably fast. In an instant, he had already traveled across a thousand meters of s.p.a.ce and appeared on top of the round altar. Surprisingly, it was a skinny white-clothed old man with a long white beard.
But at almost the same time, Tang Huan who was originally standing on the round altar, suddenly disappeared without a trace.
"d.a.m.n it!"
The old man in white snorted, stomped with his right foot, and flew into the sky. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared without a trace, but the round altar that had been at the bottom of the Dark Nether Lake for countless years collapsed with a loud rumble, filling the sky with smoke and dust.
The dozen or so Heavenly Scholars who were fighting over the Divine Orchid Flower and the few "Ghost Snakes" were completely stunned by the sudden commotion.
"Heavens …" "Heavenly Monarch?"
A middle-aged man mumbled with a face full of surprise. The other cultivators" expressions didn"t look any better as these two words flashed through their minds.
If the might of the Heavens was so strong, then he must be a Heavenly Monarch without a doubt.
Who would have thought that a Heavenly Lord would appear in Ghost Snake Valley, a place that even Earth Elemental Skies cultivators rarely saw. Furthermore, it was obvious that he was here for the Immortal Gra.s.s.
But the strange thing was that the old man in white came like the wind to s.n.a.t.c.h the immortal gra.s.s stalks and other things that the man in black had obtained, and turned a blind eye to these five flowers?
Originally, they had felt quite baffled by the man"s actions.
However, from the looks of it now, the true treasures were probably the things that the black-robed man had taken away, and not the flowers that they were fighting over.
At that moment, those who had realized this had complicated expressions on their faces.
However, they were not in the mood to care about this. Whether it was Heaven Saints or Ghost Snakes, they once again threw themselves into the battle for the green flower …
