Chapter 594 - 593: Seven-Colored Enlightenment Stone

Chapter 594: Chapter 593: Seven-Colored Enlightenment Stone

Witch Master Dan Xue glanced at her disciple, then at Mo Yan, before finally letting out a sigh.

With her disciple’s Tier Three strength, how could a mere Mo Yan possibly have had a chance to escape?

’She clearly went easy on her. Either that or she never truly had any killing intent to begin with.’

She could only hope her good disciple wasn’t developing any... special feelings.

At that moment, Master Mo Yan asked Zi Feng and the others, "Did you really not have to pay any price?"

Zi Feng didn’t answer. Mo Yan spoke up first. "Does being forced to act like someone’s son or granddaughter count as a price?"

At the mention of this, Witch Dan Xue nearly flew into a rage. ’That girl has the gall to bring it up.’

Master Mo Yan sighed and didn’t press further. If she did, who knew what kind of trouble Mo Yan would stir up next.

In any case, it seemed they truly hadn’t paid any significant price.

Afterward, Mo Yan was taken away by her master.

She was injured, so she had to be allowed to recuperate.

She could have ignored it if she hadn’t seen the injuries, but now that she had, she couldn’t just turn a blind eye.

After that, more and more people emerged. Unquestionably, no one had been asked to pay a price.

At most, some were injured, but as for how they were injured, that was hard to say.

Perhaps they were beaten up, or perhaps they were injured while clearing the trials.

In any case, it definitely wasn’t the person who had bestowed the Enlightenment who injured them.

With things as they were, the events at the Celestial Book Tomb were more or less concluded.

It could be said that this opening of the Celestial Book Tomb was the most fruitful one in the history of the Cultivation Realm.

No other Secret Realm could even compare to this opening of the Celestial Book Tomb.

And Jiang Zuo had truly made a name for himself.

Unfortunately, no one knew who it was that had brought about such a great fortune.

The only ones who knew it was Po Xiao were that small group of people. But everyone knew how terrifying Po Xiao was, and they had seen him wearing a mask.

So, being clever, they had no intention of leaking Po Xiao’s identity.

As for this opening of the Celestial Book Tomb, the ones who were probably proudest were the two blind Demon Cultivators.

They could brag to others that they had fought with that senior and even had their hands cut off.

This was a great honor.

If that didn’t work, they could say that the senior had given them some pointers.

And then pointed their fingers into nonexistence.

In short, they could find all sorts of ways to brag about it for the next ten years.

Almost everyone in the Celestial Book Tomb owed Jiang Zuo a favor.

This was especially true for those whose time was running out.

They felt that this was a debt they had to repay.

But Jiang Zuo didn’t care about any of that.

Almost everything he did was on a whim; he never thought about other implications.

As for helping people just so they would owe him a favor?

Jiang Zuo would never even consider such a thing.

The things he was willing to think about were usually related to his wife.

With Jian Shisan’s help, Jiang Zuo quickly returned to Jiang City, arriving very close to his home.

After landing safely, Jiang Zuo let out Sweet Potato and Duan Qiao.

’I barely took them out during this trip. I think it’d be better not to bring them next time, or at most, just bring Duan Qiao.’

’Then I could just seal Sweet Potato and the others in ice.’

As soon as Duan Qiao was out, Jiang Zuo asked, "Is it there?"

Duan Qiao said, "It seems... it seems it’s not as intense anymore."

Jiang Zuo nodded. ’Looks like a lot of it was used up on Celestial Book Mountain. It should disappear soon.’

’This is perfect. I can go to the Holy Land without worrying about something happening on the way.’

Back home, Jiang Zuo put Duan Qiao and Sweet Potato back on the balcony. Hmm, there were some water spots in the house. It looked like the two fish had flopped their way inside.

’Good thing they don’t have claws or anything. Their destructive power is low.’

’Otherwise, I’d be planning to roast them again.’

’As expected, Sweet Potato is the most dangerous one to have at home. Not only does it scratch everything, but it also throws Dandan around.’

’Shi Qi and Shiba would never do that. They couldn’t throw it even if they wanted to.’

After tidying up the room, Jiang Zuo took out the Enlightenment Stone.

’I’m not sure if Su Qi will recognize the Enlightenment Stone. To be safe, I’d better modify it.’

’I won’t change the shape. I’ll just change the color.’

Then, Jiang Zuo flicked his fingers, and a ball of seven-colored flame appeared.

Seven-Color Dyeing Fire, a peculiar Flame Technique he had learned in the past.

A flame that could dye whatever it burned.

Under normal circumstances, the color was difficult to remove. To get rid of it, one would have to burn the object again.

This flame had little destructive power, but its ability to color things was quite a useful one.

He had once used this flame on Jiu Xi. With Jiang Zuo’s strength at the time, if he wanted to burn Jiu Xi, she had no way of dodging.

As a result, Jiu Xi’s entire body, including her clothes, had been turned rainbow-colored.

Especially her face.

Jiu Xi killed herself afterward.

Jiang Zuo had thought he’d finally found a way to deal with Jiu Xi, but alas, the second time he tried to burn her, they just started fighting again.

And then they fought for several more centuries...

’Thinking about it now, what would happen if I used this fire on Su Qi?’

’The thought is... quite thrilling.’

After that, Jiang Zuo stopped thinking about it. ’What if I can’t resist and actually try it?’

Shaking his head, Jiang Zuo placed the Enlightenment Stone in the flame.

The Enlightenment Stone was no ordinary stone, after all. It was impossible for it to be damaged by the fire.

Half an hour later, Jiang Zuo finished with the Enlightenment Stone.

The originally black-and-white stone had now become a seven-colored stone. It was, arguably, much better looking now.

Once he was done, Jiang Zuo went to the balcony and casually tossed the Enlightenment Stone aside. ’Hmm, it certainly adds a bit of color to the otherwise drab balcony.’

’Next is to transplant the Enlightenment Tree back here.’

’There are some other things that aren’t suitable for the balcony. I’ll take a look at them later. If they’re useless, I’ll just get rid of them.’

’Let’s see... the balcony will have one tree, two fish, a duck, an egg, plus a stone and a fishing rod.’

’Seems like the decorations are a bit lacking.’

’Should I get a few potted plants?’

’Like the Celestial God Flower. It looks like a rather pretty, ordinary flower, but eating it can directly increase one’s lifespan by five thousand to ten thousand years.’

’It’s a flower on the level of a Divine Medicine.’

’Theoretically, Su Qi shouldn’t be able to recognize it.’

’It’s also suitable for me to plant.’

’I can consider it.’

’But this flower is pretty hard to get my hands on. That’ll have to wait.’

’For now, I should get some sleep. After all, I’ve pulled several all-nighters.’

’Going to see Su Qi after pulling all-nighters feels awful.’

So Jiang Zuo planned to sleep straight through to the next day, then take a plane to the Holy Land.

’And then, I’ll figure things out from there.’

「Perception No. 1 Group」

Chen Yi asked in the group: "You guys got the stones too? Did you encounter the Door Spirit at the end?"

Liu Yiyi: "[Chin-in-hand emoji] We did. Why do you ask?"

Liu Yu: "Did you have to solve a riddle? Did you get it?"

Liuyue Xue: "We got it. You guys couldn’t?"

Xiao Xiaomo: "[Awkward emoji] None of you have ever gone to school, so how did you guess it?"

Liuyue Xue: "Don’t you know how to search online?"

Hearing this, Chen Yi and the others had a moment of sudden enlightenment.

’It’s true, we could have just searched online.’

’Why didn’t we think of that?’

Soon they remembered: the last time a spare part broke, they didn’t know how to replace it either.

’So, we’ve embarrassed ourselves again?’

Of course, they weren’t the only ones who had been embarrassed.

It was just that Chu Qing’s father had given each of them a Fifth-Grade Spirit Stone and said, "None of you know anything about what happened this time, understand?" ℯℯ𝑙.

They had Chu Qing’s help on the way in, but not on the way out.

No matter what moves they tried, nothing worked.

Chu Qing’s father felt deeply humiliated.

Fortunately, his Cultivation was high, and with his disguise, few people recognized him.

But the benefits were still immense.

It was an open plot; he had nothing to say against it.

However, he had no choice but to raise his assessment of Po Xiao to an even higher level.

’If anything major happens in the future, I must have Chu Qing notify me.’
