Chapter 836 - Spiritual Flesh Snow Jade Lotus Roots
"Idiotic humans, no matter how much trash you collect, all of you will die if you don't finish the mission within a month." The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon's voice made the elites and geniuses, who were excitedly mining, hacking away, or picking items, feel cold. The voice was like a bucket of cold water that was poured over their heads.
Some of the geniuses and elites stopped what they were doing as a dangerous sensation filled their hearts. Not very long ago, they barely survived the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon, and they only had one month to live.
"Trash?" Nan Gongsheng, who was cutting the Sky Rhyme Bamboo, felt his face twitch. All the other elites who were cutting the bamboo started moving quicker as urgency appeared in their hearts.
Miao!
The little thieving cat unwillingly put away the Shadow Kill Imperial Dagger and returned to Zhao Feng's shoulder.
"We can't waste our time on the outer edges of Xie Yang Palace."
Zhao Feng stood on a tall bamboo shoot, and he had a rough estimate of Xie Yang Palace's situation from the inspection he did a moment ago.
It wasn't hard to tell from the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon's tone that the depths of Xie Yang Palace had much greater fortune. However, regardless of that, their lives came first. If one couldn't protect themselves, then it didn't matter how many resources they obtained.
"Let's go."
Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng headed toward the depths of Xie Yang Palace. The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon had given them a rough drawing of Xie Yang Palace before they entered.
Although Xie Yang Palace sounded like a palace, it was actually an entire individual world with many of its own laws. The more important places had the God's Forbidden Array protecting them.
"We need to enter Xie Yang Palace's more important areas in order to find the key to the Yuan Sealing Divine Chain, as well as the core of the God's Forbidden Array."
A cold light flashed through Zhao Feng's eyes. When the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon gave them this task and threatened them, a plan started to form in Zhao Feng's heart.
Once this plan succeeds, not only will everyone be safe, we might also be able to counterattack the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon…. Zhao Feng thought in his heart.
While the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was unrivalled, Xie Yang Palace was a God's palace. If they used it well, they probably had a chance to counterattack.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng headed toward the depths of Xie Yang Palace. Nan Gongsheng didn't know that the purple-haired youth next to him already had the outline of a courageous plan to deal with the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon.
The two paused after flying for another couple dozen miles.
There was a path to some flower pots and pavilions that were made from a glittering stone.
"Flashing Emerald!" Zhao Feng immediately recognized this weird material.
Flashing Emerald was a top material to craft weapons, and it could strengthen the power of weapons. It was extremely rare in the outside world. Some peak-tier Earth-grade weapons required Flashing Emerald, and here it was being used to make a path in Xie Yang Palace.
"Let's go." Zhao Feng resisted the temptation and led Nan Gongsheng further in.
They met many other temptations and fortunes along the way, and they almost wanted to stop and take some.
"Don't rush. There's definitely even greater fortune deeper in Xie Yang Palace."
Zhao Feng took a deep breath. After all, they had only just entered the God's palace, and all these bricks and flowers they saw were of the lowest tier. Zhao Feng believed that the truly important treasures were further in.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
At the same time, several elite groups were also heading toward the depths of Xie Yang Palace, but because the laws in Xie Yang Palace were extremely powerful, even Void God Realm Kings could only jump around since they couldn't fly. Therefore, their speed wasn't very fast.
Half a day later:
"Hmm?"
A dazzling pond appeared in their sight. The pond had waves moving through it, and there was a patch of white lotuses with lotus fruits.
They could feel a surge of pure Yuan Qi before they even got close. These white lotuses were definitely not normal, and some of the pure white petals gave off a calm and soothing white glow. The green leaves around them also gave off a dazzling green light and radiated a strong surge of lifeforce. The lotus roots in the pond were as smooth as jade and made one want to give them a bite.
"Green Water Sky Lotus! It's that legendary rare lotus?" A group flew over right at this moment. The leader was a bald male in black battle robes - Jiu Wuji of Nine Darkness Palace.
"Green Water Sky Lotus!" Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng looked at each other with surprise.
In terms of rarity, the Green Water Sky Lotus could be compared to the Sky Water Crystal Lotus, but it was slightly better in terms of effect. However, there were at least several hundred Green Water Sky Lotuses in the pond; in other words, comparable to several hundred Sky Water Crystal Lotuses.
Hu~~
Everyone present couldn't help but take in a deep breath.
"The petals of a Green Water Sky Lotus can be used for many things. They can cleanse and purify the soul, heal hidden injuries and poisons, and increase one's state of existence…."
"The fruit formed by the Green Water Sky Lotus can help form Soul Intent, and it's beneficial even for Void God Realm Kings. The leaves can also heal injuries very effectively."
Those from Nine Darkness Palace were excited and tempted.
The Green Water Sky Lotus could be used for many things. The petals, lotus fruits, and even the leaves had good effects. Its overall value exceeded even the Sky Water Crystal Lotus.
"The Green Water Sky Lotus can help consolidate our strength." Zhao Feng decided to stay.
If it was a normal resource, he wouldn't stay that long if the value wasn't insanely high. However, the Green Water Sky Lotus would be useful in consolidating Zhao Feng's and Nan Gongsheng's strength. The lotus fruits could help Zhao Feng consolidate and recover his Emperor Intent.
At the same time, the lotus fruits could help condense Nan Gongsheng's Soul Intent. In addition, the petals could cleanse the wicked energy from the Evil God's Crystal.
One had to know that Nan Gongsheng was only a little bit away from breaking through to the late stages of the Void God Realm.
"What are those lotus roots?" Those from Nine Darkness Palace stood next to the pond, and their gaze landed on the lotus roots in the pond. The lotus roots had a smooth glow like the snow-white skin of a goddess; it was extremely attractive.
Sou! Sou!
Right at this moment, another group flew over. The leader was a pretty purple-haired girl. Zhao Feng recognized her as Ji Lan from the one of the Eight Big Families, the Ji Family.
A faint purple haze spun in her eyes as she inspected the pond, and her body shook slightly.
"It's actually Green Water Sky Lotuses?"
"Those snow-white lotus roots growing with the Green Water Sky Lotuses… could they be the legendary Spiritual Flesh Snow Jade Root?"
Ji Lan's expression changed dramatically after a close inspection.
Spiritual Flesh Snow Jade Root. A small number of people present recalled this term, and their hearts shook. "The legend says… a Spiritual Flesh Snow Jade Root can create a peerless physical body?"
According to ancient records, some experts used the Spiritual Flesh Snow Jade Root to form their physical bodies, and their chances of breaking through to the Mystic Light Realm were twice as high as someone with a normal body.
Many people started to discuss in shock. The Spiritual Flesh Snow Jade Root didn't have much of an effect in raising one's raw strength or cultivation, but it was just too useful; it could create a physical body that was much stronger than normal humans.
I must get those Spiritual Flesh Snow Jade Roots. A light flashed through Zhao Feng's eyes. The Spiritual Flesh Snow Jade Roots were extremely important to him, and not just because of his body-strengthening technique.
Chapter 837 - Changing Attitude
Next to the pond, those from Nine Darkness Palace and the Ji Family held their breaths as they were filled with temptation. The Green Water Sky Lotuses and the Spiritual Flesh Snow Jade Roots were legendary resources that were rare to even lay eyes on, let alone use.
The Green Water Sky Lotus had many uses while the Spiritual Flesh Snow Jade Root had the profound ability to create a perfect body. Comparatively, the Spiritual Flesh Snow Jade Root was slightly more valuable since it had that unique ability, but the overall usefulness of the Green Water Sky Lotuses was higher since they could increase one's state of existence and heal injuries.
"So many Green Water Sky Lotuses… we're rich!" A member of the Ji Family was filled with excitement as he dove into the green pond.
"Quick!" A genius from Nine Darkness Palace couldn't hold it in and reached for a Green Water Sky Lotus.
The expressions of Jiu Wuji and Ji Lan changed slightly, but they couldn't stop their subordinates.
Bo~~
A layer of dazzling green water appeared as a surge of water shot out from the pond.
Bam! Bam!
The two geniuses that were about to get close to the Green Water Sky Lotuses were sent flying.
Wah! Wah!
The two half-step King geniuses coughed out blood in midair.
Bo~~
The green flow of water in the pond seemed to have its own consciousness as a spout of water shot out toward the two geniuses.
"Help me…!" The two geniuses struggled in the air with fear.
Jiu Wuji snickered coldly as he grabbed out with a pitch-black hand and pulled his elite back, whereas Ji Lan took out a silver whip and wrapped the genius from her family like an agile snake. However, she was a bit slower, and her family's genius was engulfed by the green whirlpool.
"Arghh!" The lower half of that genius was ripped into pieces by the green whirlpool, and then his entire body was devoured.
Ji Lan felt a tremendous pulling force, and her body shook. She was almost pulled in by the power of the green whirlpool. Since that genius had already been ripped into shreds, she easily took her whip back.
Ji Lan's face was pale-white, and she let out a breath. The unknown power within the green pond definitely had the ability to devour Void God Realm Kings.
The reason why Zhao Feng, Jiu Wuji, and company didn't do anything earlier was because they felt the aura of a powerful water spirit within the pond.
Everyone around the pond was silent for a while. Those from Nine Darkness Palace and the Ji Family were stunned, and their feet went cold as they moved back from the pond unconsciously.
The two that were attacked just now were half-step Kings.
Jiu Wuji managed to save one due to his strong battle-power, experience, and reflexes. On the other hand, the genius from the Ji Family died, and no one knew where his body would end up. It made one's heart turn cold.
"The pond seems to have its own consciousness, which will automatically attack any targets."
"What kind of unknown power is hiding in the pond?"
Those from Nine Darkness Palace and the Ji Family stared at the green pond and discussed in low voices.
At this moment, the surface of the pond became calm once more, and it looked like a normal pond.
"As I thought, this pond doesn't just have its own consciousness," Zhao Feng murmured as a faint smile appeared on his face.
He and Nan Gongsheng were the first to arrive, but they had stood next to the pond and did nothing.
"Sir Zhao, may you give us a pointer or two about the pond?" Ji Lan humbly asked Zhao Feng. The shock still hadn't worn off for her.
The smiling purple-haired youth seemed to have the ability to see through and control everything in the world.
Hearing her question, both forces turned toward Zhao Feng.
"It's very simple," Zhao Feng said calmly. "Everything in the world has a spirit. After living in such a great environment for such a long time, a powerful Water-elemental Yao Spirit was formed."
Water-elemental Yao Spirit? Everyone paused as they started to think.
"Simply put, the pond itself is a living thing." Zhao Feng's eyes twinkled.
Bo~~
As soon as he said that, a ripple of water appeared on the surface of the pond as if it was replying to Zhao Feng. Surprise flashed across Jiu Wuji's face.
The pond itself was a powerful existence, and the force contained within it was enough to rip apart Void God Realm Kings, and yet Zhao Feng, who was a measly Origin Core Realm, could see through its profundity. This made Jiu Wuji become even warier of Zhao Feng.
"Purple-Haired Demonic Duo, do you have any way we can get the Green Water Sky Lotuses?" Jiu Wuji asked in a deep tone. He had fought with the duo before, and he knew that the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo was never at a disadvantage.
"Hmm… I'm thinking…." Zhao Feng acted as if he was in deep thought, which made Jiu Wuji and company feel speechless. Zhao Feng had probably already thought of something but just didn't want to say it, or maybe he just hadn't confirmed his method yet and wanted to inspect it a bit more.
Those from Nine Darkness Palace and the Ji Family stood next to the pond for a while as they thought about what to do.
"We can maybe use whips to grab the Green Water Sky Lotuses so that, even if we don't succeed, there won't be any danger," an older elite from Nine Darkness Palace said, and a half-step King who had a whip stood out.
"Ha!" the half-step King exclaimed as his dark metallic silver whip became dozens of meters long and shot toward one of the Green Water Sky Lotuses.
Just as the dark metallic silver whip was about to grab a Green Water Sky Lotus:
Bam!
A ripple of water shot out from the pond and pushed the dark metallic silver whip away. At the same time, a strong surge of water travelled along the whip.
Bam! Wah!
The half-step King holding the whip was sent flying, and he spat out a mouthful of blood as he instantly became severely injured. He wasn't able to stand up for a long time.
"The Water Spirit within the pond is too strong. It'll be very hard to fight against it without the battle-power of an Emperor." Jiu Wuji's eyebrows furrowed as his expression became solemn.
Those from Nine Darkness Palace and the Ji Family then thought of many other ways they could obtain the Green Water Sky Lotus, such as distracting the Water Spirit in the pond or using fire to counter it. Some even tried to move the entire pond away.
However, all of these methods failed and resulted in the green pond's counterattack.
"The pond itself is a living thing with intelligence. It can hear what you're all saying, so why would it just sit there and let you do as you please?" Zhao Feng mocked.
Hearing that, Jiu Wuji became slightly angry and felt that he had no face. He was an elite of the older generation. When had a junior ever talked to him like that before?
"Sir Zhao is right. In order to deal with the pond, we need to treat it as a being with intelligence and find its weakness." Ji Lan believed him, and Jiu Wuji suppressed the anger in his heart. He knew that it wasn't a wise choice to offend the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo. He had already been defeated once in his fight against them before. However, Zhao Feng's words gave them some things to think about.
"Since this pond is a lifeform with intelligence, it must have a soul… and it can't evade soul attacks." A smile appeared on Ji Lan's pretty face.
"You mean…?" Jiu Wuji's eyes lit up as he understood what Ji Lan was thinking.
Zhao Feng revealed a look of praise and nodded his head. Since this pond was an intelligent being, and they couldn't break through its strong Water-elemental force, then why not try another method and target the soul? Although the green pond was strong, that didn't mean its soul was also strong. After all, even though it had a certain intelligence, it was still just a pond.
Ji Lan and Jiu Wuji immediately teamed up.
"Purple Star Eyes!" Ji Lan's purple hair blew in the wind as her eyes seemed to turn into stars and shoot out a bright beam of Soul power. In this instant, all the nearby geniuses and elites felt a terrifying aura as an illusion charged into their souls.
Ji Lan's Purple Star Eyes specialized in the Dao of Illusion. The attack contained an illusion that could affect the soul as well as an offensive soul attack.
Weng~~ Weng~~
A ripple appeared on the surface of the green pond, which then turned into waves. It was obvious that Ji Lan's soul attacks had a certain effect on it.
"Hand of the Demonic Sky!" Jiu Wuji roared as he used this chance to attack.
Boom~~~~!
A giant pitch-black hand summoned black flames and smashed toward a certain area close to the edge of the pond with enough force to destroy Heaven and Earth.
Boom!
The large Hand of the Demonic Sky clashed with the ripple of green water on the pond.
Under normal situations, even though the power of Jiu Wuji's Demonic Dao secret technique was close to an Emperor's, it wouldn't be able to break through the pond's defense. However, at this moment, the green pond was affected by the illusions and soul attack of the Purple Star Eyes, so it could only use 50% of its power at most.
Bam! Bam! Bam! Bo~~~~
Jiu Wuji circulated his demonic power and his domain to the maximum and finally pushed his Hand of the Demonic Sky down by a few yards. At the same time, the elites of the Ji Family and Nine Darkness Palace all attacked the green pond.
"Star Destruction!" Ji Lan's face turned red as she gritted her teeth and circulated her Soul Dao eye-bloodline techniques to the fullest.
At last, with the combined effort of everyone, they managed to push the ripple of water down by one meter, but only in the area where the Hand of the Demonic Sky was attacking.
A few Green Water Sky Lotuses were revealed. As for the Spiritual Flesh Snow Jade Roots, they were in the depths of the pond, so they would be harder to obtain. However, everyone was still surprised at just that much.
"Let's get them!"
The two forces managed to squeeze out two older elites that used whips, who tried to obtain the Green Water Sky Lotuses. However, they weren't any easier to obtain than the Spiritual Flesh Snow Jade Roots.
Although the Water Spirit was suppressed, an occasional ripple would flow across the surface of the pond and push the experts away. One of the older elites with a whip was sucked away by the whirlpool. The ripples on the pond were just barely suppressed; they continuously fluctuated. An occasional jet of water or giant whirlpool would appear once in a while.
Around ten breaths later, the combined efforts of the Ji Family and Nine Darkness Palace managed to take an incomplete Green Water Sky Lotus; they lost some petals and leaves in the process.
"I can't hold it for much longer!" Jiu Wuji's face was red, and his True Yuan was in a frenzied half-burning state. His Hand of the Demonic Sky and his demonic domain were showing signs of becoming unstable.
"I also can't hold on for much longer!" Ji Lan's eyes shook, and cold sweat appeared on her forehead.
"Go!" At the last moment, the older elite from the Ji Family managed to take several petals of a Green Water Sky Lotus, while some members of Nine Darkness Palace managed to take a lotus seed.
Weng~~~ Bam!
An enormous stormy wave formed in the green pond.
Bam! Bam!
Jiu Wuji and Ji Lan were sent flying. Blood leaked out of Ji Lan's mouth, while a pair of flaming demonic wings condensed on Jiu Wuji's back and stabilized him.
"Not bad…." A smile formed on Zhao Feng's mouth as he admired the show. The combined efforts of Nine Darkness Palace and the Ji Family barely managed to obtain one and a half Green Water Sky Lotuses.
"They succeeded…!" Nan Gongsheng didn't hide the greed in his eyes.
"Not good! Everyone, watch out for the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo!" Jiu Wuji suddenly remembered something and his expression changed dramatically. The Purple-Haired Demonic Duo was known for plundering, and they might start plundering here as well.
Maybe because the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo hadn't plundered for a while, and because they had given them their train of thought, the duo was temporarily forgotten by the two leaders.
"Dammit!" Ji Lan also remembered that and realized that she had been tricked by the duo.
No matter how one's appearance changed, their attitude and characteristics stayed the same. Now was a very good chance - Ji Lan and Jiu Wuji had been sent flying and were both injured. Why wouldn't the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo steal from them?
Nan Gongsheng licked his lips unknowingly, as if he was becoming excited.
"It's just one and a half Green Water Sky Lotuses," a disdainful voice came from the younger purple-haired youth. At the same time, a hand gently patted Nan Gongsheng's shoulder, stopping him from attacking.
"They didn't attack?"
"When did their attitudes change?"
Jiu Wuji and Ji Lan looked at each other and let out a breath. They felt incredulous.
Next to the pond, Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng just stood there without attacking. If the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo wanted to attack, no one could stop them right now.
However, from Zhao Feng's tone, it seemed like they didn't want "just one and a half" Green Water Sky Lotuses.
"Okay, it's our turn now." Zhao Feng's gaze scanned over the slightly tired forces of Nine Darkness Palace and the Ji Family.
Hearing that, Ji Lan's and Jiu Wuji's hearts shook. Both forces were stunned as they gazed at the calm purple-haired youth.
"What kind of method would the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo use to obtain the Green Water Sky Lotuses?" Everyone was surprised, and also expectant.
Zhao Feng took a step forward, and purple arcs of lightning flashed through his eyes as his hair blew in the wind. A purple world of illusions seemed to form in his left eye. With just one step, Ji Lan's eye-bloodline started to tremble.
"Pond Yao Spirit, hand over half of the Green Water Sky Lotuses and Spiritual Flesh Snow Jade Roots, and I'll let you live." A dominating and cold voice resounded throughout the soul-dimension.
Those from Nine Darkness Palace and the Ji Family looked at each other. Jiu Wuji's and Ji Lan's expressions were weird. Zhao Feng's method was… to threaten the pond spirit?
Chapter 838 - Enormous Amount
"Pond Yao Spirit, hand over half of the Green Water Sky Lotuses and Spiritual Flesh Snow Jade Roots, and I'll let you live."
Zhao Feng's forceful threat shocked everyone present. The combined forces of Jiu Wuji and Ji Lan barely managed to obtain one and a half Green Water Sky Lotuses, and now Zhao Feng was just asking for half of all the lotuses and lotus roots. The total amount was at least a couple hundred.
As soon as his words finished:
Boo~~
A wave of water surged from the pond, indicating the Yao Spirit's anger and disdain.
"Hmph!" Zhao Feng snickered coldly as he opened his left eye-bloodline, and a purple arc of divine light shot out. A terrifying and condensed Soul eye-bloodline power transformed into a Mental Energy Spike and pierced into the green pond. As this spike emerged, the geniuses and elites present all felt a searing pain and a massive pressure, and this was just a remnant shockwave.
Ji Lan's Purple Star Eyes started to tremble uneasily, and her Soul eye-bloodline power was suppressed.
Even an older elite like Jiu Wuji started to feel cold and uneasy.
"Arghh!" A screech came from the green pond.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The Mental Energy Spike contained lightning and thunder, which started to explode when it pierced into the Yao Spirit's soul like a tribulation descending from the sky.
Now that Zhao Feng could use part of his Emperor Intent, he could use a small amount of the God Tribulation Lightning. In addition, his soul had been refined by the God Tribulation Lightning, so even when he used a normal attack like the Mental Energy Spike, it contained the power and laws of God Tribulation Lightning.
Weng~~ Bam!
The ripples in the green pond became bigger as the scream in the soul dimension continued
Just one condensed Mental Energy Spike injured the Yao Spirit's consciousness.
"Watch as I destroy your consciousness~~~~!" Zhao Feng roared.
He had already seen through the Yao Spirit of the pond. The Yao Spirit was extremely strong, which was because of how it formed. After countless years of existing in this wonderful environment, it finally formed its own consciousness, and this pond was its body. However, compared to its raw power, the Yao Spirit didn't know how to strengthen its soul. All it did was sit there every day.
In terms of raw strength, this Yao Spirit was comparable to an Emperor, but it wasn't even able to leave the area of this pond. Although its soul was comparable to an Emperor's in terms of size, the quality, technique, and the actual power weren't even at the level of a King that specialized in the Dao of the Soul. Therefore, Zhao Feng's simple Mental Energy Spike already injured the Yao Spirit's consciousness.
A transparent Wind Lightning Eye Flame started to form in Zhao Feng's left eye. This was a powerful killing move; the elements of the Wind Lightning Eye Flame countered the pond Yao Spirit perfectly.
"What a terrifying Soul eye flame…." Ji Lan could feel how terrifying the Wind Lightning Eye Flame was. A normal King would be immediately slain by it, and their soul would be destroyed, giving them no chance to revive.
Zhao Feng was confident that this blow could severely injure the Yao Spirit's consciousness. If it went well, it could even crumble its consciousness.
Bo~ Bo~~
The water in the pond started to shake, as if showing the fear of the pond Yao Spirit. It didn't matter how strong its physical aspects were because they couldn't do anything against Zhao Feng's Soul eye flame.
"My Lord, spare me!" A green goddess radiating a powerful Water aura started to form in the middle of the pond. The geniuses and elites nearby all felt unable to breathe.
"My Lord, I'll give the Green Water Sky Lotuses and the Spiritual Flesh Jade Roots to you." The green water goddess looked extremely sympathetic.
This scene made Jiu Wuji, Ji Lan, and company dumbfounded. They did everything the could and only obtained one and a half lotuses, while Zhao Feng actually managed to force the pond Yao Spirit to give him all the lotuses and roots.
"Collect the spoils of war." Zhao Feng's left eye locked on to the green water goddess that was formed by the green pond.
"He managed to get them so easily…." Nan Gongsheng was dazed and unable to believe what was happening. Zhao Feng's orders shook him back into reality, and he quickly went to collect the Green Water Sky Lotuses and Spiritual Flesh Snow Jade Roots.
Miao miao!
With a flash of silver-gray, a little cat landed in the pond and started to collect the Green Water Sky Lotuses and Spiritual Flesh Snow Jade Roots.
Zhao Feng didn't do anything. He just stood there, and a cold glint of ice-blue appeared in his eyes that made the green water goddess feel like she was sealed in ice.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
Nan Gongsheng and the little thieving cat quickly started to gather the spoils of war from the green pond.
Jiu Wuji and company nearby were dazed and filled with jealousy. Their unwillingness almost made them go crazy. There was a massive amount of Green Water Sky Lotuses in the pond, not to mention the roots.
A while later, half of the Green Water Sky Lotuses and Spiritual Flesh Snow Jade Roots were collected by Nan Gongsheng and the little thieving cat.
"That's fine." Zhao Feng waved his hand and stopped Nan Gongsheng and the little thieving cat.
He could tell that the Green Water Sky Lotuses and Spiritual Flesh Snow Jade Roots concerned the pond Yao Spirit's foundation. Since it complied with his order, Zhao Feng was willing to let it live.
After organizing the spoils of war, they counted the number of Green Water Sky Lotuses and Spiritual Flesh Snow Jade Roots they had picked, and it amounted to about seven hundred.
"Zhao Feng, all these are yours." Nan Gongsheng only took ten Green Water Sky Lotuses and a few Spiritual Flesh Snow Jade Roots.
In reality, at Nan Gongsheng's level, only a small number of Green Water Sky Lotus would be effective. Anything after that amount would just be a waste.
When one reached the Mystic Light Realm or the Demigod realm, they no longer needed just a high quantity of resources, they also needed high-quality resources. Similarly, if the resources weren't of high enough quality, one wouldn't be able to become an Emperor even if they had a whole bunch of resources.
"This many Green Water Sky Lotuses can create a bunch of Void God Realm Kings in the outside world."
Zhao Feng had his own plan. The Green Water Sky Lotus was split into the petals, leaves, fruits, and seeds, which helped Soul Intent, the physical body, and had healing capabilities. It was a peerless treasure for anyone below the Void God Realm.
Zhao Feng could use a few to consolidate his cultivation and further awaken his Emperor Intent.
"As for the Spiritual Flesh Snow Jade Roots… they have many uses…." A faint smile appeared on Zhao Feng's face.
The Spiritual Flesh Snow Jade Roots could create a powerful body; they weren't just mortal bodies made from flesh and blood… and Zhao Feng had the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique, which allowed him to split his mind into countless thoughts.
As long as he had enough resources, he could create a batch of Jade Root Bodies, which he could then control with the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique. He could use them to bait the enemy, or he could use them as suicide bombers, and under some situations, he could even transfer his soul between the different bodies. The ultimate stage would be "turning into a hundred million." His physical body would just be a place to stay while his soul remained immortal.
Of course, this was just a thought that Zhao Feng had after obtaining the Spiritual Flesh Snow Jade Root. He was going outside the box.
"Purple-Haired Demonic Duo, are you not scared your hands will become hot after taking so many resources for yourself…?" Jiu Wuji's gaze was not nice.
The geniuses and elites from the Ji Family and Nine Darkness Palace had either red or green eyes as they stared at Zhao Feng. How could they be willing to see Zhao Feng take such a huge amount of resources by himself? Just one Green Water Sky Lotus or Spiritual Flesh Snow Jade Root would be a peerless treasure in the outside world, let alone the giant pile Zhao Feng just acquired.
"What, you want to take some off us?" A playful smile formed on Zhao Feng's face.
Everyone froze. Zhao Feng said exactly what they were thinking. Any genius or elite would think about stealing some lotuses after seeing the amount the duo acquired.
However, Jiu Wuji and company were extremely wary of the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo's strength. If they fought, they definitely wouldn't be able to keep the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo behind. Even worse though, if Zhao Feng used his true strength, it was very likely that their two forces would have massive losses, and they didn't even know it.
The most important point was that they didn't even know Zhao Feng's methods or full strength. The purple-haired youth in their vision gave a smile. He was like the limitless ocean; no one knew how deep he was.
"We'll meet again later." Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng sped into the distance under a layer of silver and purple.
Ridiculous! The playful tone made Jiu Wuji almost explode.
"Eh!? Why are there so many tattered Green Water Sky Lotuses and Spiritual Flesh Snow Jade Roots here?" A genius suddenly exclaimed.
The place where Zhao Feng was just standing was filled with tattered or broken pieces of Green Water Sky Lotuses or withered and rotten Spiritual Flesh Snow Jade Roots. All in all, they were substandard.
"Quick!" The geniuses present instantly started to fight over them, and chaos broke out amongst the two forces. There were only a couple dozen substandard ones left behind.
After all of it was taken, Jiu Wuji's expression was grim as he spoke through gritted teeth, "That damn Zhao Feng definitely did it on purpose."
Zhao Feng had obtained a large amount of peerless lotuses and lotus roots, but he left a bunch of substandard ones behind for them to fight over. This was like a rich person leaving behind leftover food for beggars to fight over.
"They're a couple of bullies…!" Demonic light flashed around Jiu Wuji's body. He was about to go crazy.
"Hahaha!" Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng roared with laughter as they flew away under a layer of silver and purple.
Four hours later, the duo found a hidden cave and took out the Green Water Sky Lotuses.
"Zhao Feng, with these Green Water Sky Lotuses, I'll be able to break through to the late stages of the Void God Realm soon." Nan Gongsheng was extremely confident.
"Good." Zhao Feng took out a lotus seed and put it in his mouth as he circulated his Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts and started to consolidate the Emperor Intent that had just reawakened not long ago.
