Chapter 612: Chapter 260: Secret Treasure

Senior Brother Zhuang chimed in, a smile spreading across his face. "Exactly. Other sects would kill for a prodigy like him... How could we not be aware of that?"

"That’s right. With Junior Brother’s abilities, we have a massive advantage. Think about those Bear Demons just now... If it had been up to us, how much effort would that have cost? We might have even been injured. But Junior Brother? A few quick moves, and they were all dealt with! Think of all the energy he saved us!"

Senior Sister Ji paused, her eyes gleaming. "Junior Brother Qin, with your level of power, you must be in a class of your own here in this Grotto Heaven... If that Seventh Realm Great Power truly left behind a Secret Treasure... it might really be destined for our sect!"

At Senior Sister Ji’s words, the eyes of the other senior brothers lit up as well.

"Exactly!"

Senior Brother Zhuang said with growing anticipation, looking at Qin Fang with a joking smile, "Junior Brother, the Demons from here on out will probably be at the Guizhen Level or higher... maybe even True Blood. That makes you our main pillar of support... Whether we can make it out of here in one piece, or even make some gains, is all up to you..."

The others all smiled as they looked at Qin Fang.

Hearing this, Qin Fang smiled as well and gave a slight nod. "Of course. I’ll give it my all."

"Junior Brother, don’t listen to Senior Brother Zhuang; he’s just kidding... Your safety comes first... I believe that even more strongly now. So, if the situation becomes hopeless, or if you sense great danger, I propose we retreat immediately."

Senior Sister Ji added seriously after a moment.

The others also grew serious and nodded in agreement.

Qin Fang chuckled. "Don’t worry. My master told me the same thing... I cherish my life more than anything. If there’s real danger, I won’t take the risk."

Hearing Qin Fang say this, the group finally relaxed completely.

"Let’s go, let’s go," Senior Sister Ji said suddenly. "Junior Brother’s Profound Nether Nature is incredibly powerful. Just standing here for a bit is making me feel cold... Junior Brother must have expended some energy, so let’s find another place for him to recover. I wonder when the next wave of Demons will appear..."

They hadn’t paid it much mind, but now that she mentioned it, everyone realized they did feel a slight chill.

...Keep in mind, they were Guizhen Level cultivators, long past being affected by heat or cold.

But to actually feel a "chill" at this moment showed just how terrifying the cold of this "Eternal Freeze" Nature was.

Qin Fang nodded, and the group tore through the air and departed.

Only the five Bear Demons were left behind...

「An hour passed in the blink of an eye.」

They flew a great distance further, but still saw no sign of an edge.

...The sheer size of this Grotto Heaven was terrifying.

But a new wave of Great Demons appeared once again.

This time, there were five of them again—five "Extraordinary" Great Demons equivalent to the Guizhen Level.

And this time, they were five Golden Eagle Great Demons!

Their bodies were over fifteen meters long, their sharp talons were imbued with Demon Gang, their speed was astonishing, and their attack power was even more terrifying.

The moment they appeared, they immediately attacked the five of them. Even though he was prepared, Senior Brother Zhuang was still struck by the talons of one Golden Eagle Great Demon.

...The True Gang on his body flared violently!

It had nearly torn his Body Protection True Gang to shreds.

Fortunately... he was from the Nine Hell Lineage, after all. His Physique was formidable, and in the end, he managed to block it.

These Golden Eagle Great Demons were indeed astounding. Their Body Protection True Gang was in no way inferior to the Bear Demons’, and they were extremely fast with shocking attack power... far more dangerous than the Bear Demons, which were strong but relatively slow.

Even Qin Fang had to expend some effort to slay all five Golden Eagle Great Demons one by one.

...Needless to say, his "Eternal Freeze" Nature was once again the key to victory.

Although his senior brothers and sister hadn’t managed to kill the Golden Eagle Great Demons, they hadn’t been injured either... They were an Elder’s True Inheritance disciples, after all, and their skills were considerable.

"The Demons that appear are getting stronger and stronger. I reckon the True Blood Great Demons will show up soon," Senior Brother Zhuang said with a grave expression.

Qin Fang also nodded slightly.

...From the looks of it, this Grotto Heaven really did seem to be a Trial ground.

But what was the benefit of completing the Trial?

That was still unknown.

By his calculations, they had been inside for almost two days now.

Of the agreed-upon seven days, five remained.

...’A True Blood Great Demon is almost here, and it’s only been two days... Can we really hold out for seven?’

With this heavy thought weighing on his mind, Qin Fang considered for a moment, then said decisively, "We’re not going any further. Full speed, back to the entrance... Otherwise, if we run into real danger, we won’t even be able to escape."

Hearing Qin Fang’s words, the others also realized the danger, nodded, and shot off through the air.

Not long after, they encountered a third wave of five Guizhen Level Great Demons.

As expected, Qin Fang dispatched them without any trouble.

"That was nearly the limit for the Guizhen Level... I estimate the next wave will be True Blood," Senior Brother Zhuang said in a low voice.

Qin Fang nodded slightly.

He was still relatively calm, however.

...After all, he had fought a True Blood Great Demon before, so he had a general idea of its strength.

He just didn’t know what tier that True Blood Rabbit Demon ranked among other True Blood Great Demons.

After this encounter with the Guizhen Great Demons, a full two hours passed without any new Demons appearing.

But this only made everyone’s mood heavier... because it meant the next wave would almost certainly be a True Blood Great Demon.

Sure enough, as the third hour arrived, a black mist appeared, and from within it, a behemoth emerged...

It was a white elephant.

It stood likely twenty meters tall, its entire body like carved white jade, yet a terrifying Demon Gang pulsed around it.

It walked out of the mist and looked up at the five of them.

"A True Blood Great Demon!"

All five of their expressions turned grim.

But just then, Senior Sister Ji suddenly cried out in surprise, "Look... What’s on its head?"

Qin Fang and the others were startled and instinctively looked toward the creature’s head.

There, they saw a small stalk of grass emitting a faint Silver Light, seemingly growing right out of its skull and swaying gently in the air.

And as the small plant swayed, the very space around it seemed to ripple...

"Is that... a Treasure Plant containing the Power of the Void?!"

Senior Brother Zhuang’s shocked voice rang out.

Qin Fang’s pupils contracted sharply!

...Two days into the Grotto Heaven, they had finally seen a True Blood!

And then...

The Seven Realms Secret Treasure... seemed to have appeared at the same time?
