Chapter 137: Chapter 130: Yun Buliu vs. Yun Feng

BOOM!

Within the Treasure Burial Realm, the deafening sound of a heavy hammer striking a bell rang out, clear enough to be heard from over a dozen miles away.

BOOM!

Another ring!

BOOM!

A third ring!

It sounded like a bell being struck for chanting in a thousand-year-old ancient temple... yet, it was different! The bell of an ancient temple was loud and peaceful, solemn and respectful without showing any sharp murderous intent. The metallic rumbling inside the Treasure Burial Realm, however, was mixed with an ear-piercing sharpness and a surging murderous aura that bared its fangs completely. This was vastly different from the Buddhist Sect’s chiming for Zen chanting.

BOOM!

Metal clashing against metal—heavy, shrill, and soul-trembling.

Following the roar, a tall, well-built man with a slender yet sturdy figure was throwing punches at a Golden Hammer planted upside down on the ground. The Golden Hammer was incomparably huge, looking like an overturned heavy truck. Radiating a brilliant golden glow, it was engraved with horizontal and vertical snake-like patterns, flowing with the mysterious and profound light of the Saint Dao. With every strike, the flowing light would tremble.

The man was actually bombarding the solid iron hammer with his flesh and blood. The hammer didn’t shatter, nor was his body injured. That soul-trembling metallic clash came from the collision between the man’s flesh and blood body and the Golden Hammer. One could only imagine how tough his physique was.

"DING! Progress: 0.009%..."

"155 strikes have been landed. Approximately 99,845 more strikes are needed to collect the Saint King artifact—the Golden Saint King’s Hammer!"

This man was none other than Su Tan. He used his incomparably strong Treasure Body to strike the Magical Artifacts within the Treasure Burial Realm. It was a terrifying and shocking sight. The numerical information was the system’s real-time analysis and prediction for him.

"I knew it. Just like the main realm’s Cemetery of Cultivation Techniques, these things just need a good beating! Once they’re beaten into submission, they can naturally be taken away!" Su Tan said.

The artifacts within the Treasure Burial Realm varied in grade. Their numbers were massive, encompassing Divine Artifacts of all kinds of functions. He had tried many times. For Body Refinement level weapons, Su Tan could collect one with just a few punches. The higher the grade... the more strikes were needed. The Saint King level weapon, the Golden Hammer, unexpectedly required almost a hundred thousand strikes.

However, it seemed the number of strikes wasn’t set in stone. A normal punch was just one punch, but if he used the full power of his Overlord Body Bloodline, he could trigger a critical strike. Sometimes one punch equaled ten, or even up to a hundred.

Su Tan pondered for a moment. He remembered what the Monk had once said about high-tier bloodlines. His Overlord Body Bloodline had already surpassed the level of this world. Utilizing the power of his high-tier Overlord Body Bloodline to strike the Magical Artifacts here was much more effective. Perhaps... this really was a test of sorts. Did the Burial Treasure Realm Control Order want to see exactly how strong the power of his bloodline was?

BOOM! BOOM!

Su Tan rained punch after punch onto the Golden Hammer. It was unknown how much time had passed, but eventually, the progress bar was full! Utterly exhausted, he could finally collect the Golden Holy Hammer. It was not easy; it was far too difficult!

He thought, "To think it’s this hard just to get a single Holy Hammer!" But on second thought... there was no rush! His Physique could still grow stronger. Beyond the Dominator Body, there was the Sacred Body. Beyond the Sacred Body, there was the Dao Body. The Sacred Body and the Overlord Body Bloodline would fuse to birth an even more powerful Physique... ultimately forming the Ten Thousand Dao Furnace body! Once Su Tan successfully mastered all the diagrams for his Physique, wouldn’t he be able to collect a Holy Hammer with just one punch? It was highly possible!

Understanding this logic, Su Tan didn’t continue trying to collect other Holy Artifacts. There would be plenty of opportunities to teach them a lesson in the future.

Putting aside the thought of collecting Spiritual Artifacts, Su Tan followed the Fat Monk to look for Divine Artifacts that could be used in the Divine War Game. As they walked, he realized he was merely playing a supporting role! It felt like he couldn’t be of much help anyway, and his field of vision was limited. Su Tan simply tossed the Control Order to the Monk and logged out, deciding to be a hands-off boss.

"It’s been a long time since I’ve eaten Shangguan Xiu’Er and Chu’Er’s cooking. A single day feels like three years. I miss it terribly!" Su Tan said. After being busy for so long, he was starving. Ever since he tasted their cooking, his own food tasted like cardboard and was impossible to swallow.

Returning to the real world, Su Tan noticed that Chen Xiaoqi was not cultivating.

"Qi, did you learn to slack off while I was in seclusion?" he questioned, feigning displeasure. Sometimes, one had to be strict with children.

"Su, I didn’t. Absolutely not. I’ve been cultivating earnestly," Chen Xiaoqi explained, looking at Su Tan timidly, thinking he was truly angry.

"Then why aren’t you in your cultivation spot? Why are you running around?" Su Tan asked.

"..."

"I’m sorry, Su, but the commotion outside just now was a bit too loud," Chen Xiaoqi said.

"Commotion?" Su Tan perked his ears up and listened closely. There were indeed some people moving about outside the courtyard, but they weren’t making much noise, which was why Su Tan had overlooked them. People passed by his door every day, and some from the nearby villages would still come to ask for fortune-telling. Therefore, he wasn’t surprised by the sound of footsteps and people outside. Usually, he didn’t mind people coming to watch, as long as they didn’t make a racket.

"You’re not just saying that on purpose because you want to slack off, are you?"

"It’s true, I’m not lying! There really was a conflict just now!" Chen Xiaoqi hurriedly explained when he saw that Su Tan didn’t believe him. "Master Yun Buliu got into a conflict with someone, and they almost fought. They agreed on a location to fight later and then left, which is why it quieted down."

"Oh?" Su Tan raised his voice.

"I secretly listened just now. It seems the one who got into a conflict with Master Yun Buliu is actually his disciple," Chen Xiaoqi said.

"His disciple? Shangguan Xiu’Er?" Could Yun Buliu really get into a conflict with Shangguan Xiu’Er?

"No, it’s the other one!" Chen Xiaoqi said.

"What exactly is going on?" Su Tan asked.

"What else could it be? His disciple is ungrateful and turned against Master Yun Buliu. His eldest disciple has come back to seek revenge," Chen Xiaoqi explained.
