Chapter 626 - 625: Po Xiao Gave a Warning

Chapter 626: Chapter 625: Po Xiao Gave a Warning

Was Jiang Zuo bluffing?

Of course not. It was simply impossible for anyone else to know about, let alone conceive of, the Celestial God Five Extremes Pill.

Because this pill existed almost purely in theory.

Jiang Zuo had deduced this theory back when he was a Supreme—a theory he’d also developed for his research on Jiu Xi.

But he couldn’t put the theory into practice.

In other words, even a Supreme would think the Celestial God Five Extremes Pill was nothing but a fool’s dream.

Yes, Jiang Zuo had successfully created this pill before, but only after transcending the Supreme realm.

Setting aside the other ingredients, the Cultivation requirement alone made it impossible for anyone, to say nothing of the required skill in alchemy.

In a world with only a handful of Supremes, the Celestial God Five Extremes Pill was effectively a myth to everyone else.

Jiang Zuo had succeeded, but the Celestial God Five Extremes Pill was ineffective on beings beyond the Supreme realm.

So in his last life, the pill was only somewhat useful to him.

And its only use was on Jiu Xi.

’Have her eat it, then kill her and see what’s different from before.’

’That was about the extent of its usefulness.’

However, he didn’t bother explaining. It was impossible to explain, and he had only mentioned it offhandedly anyway.

’So, their goal might be the Celestial God Flower, or it might actually be the core of the Locking Spirit Star.’

Jiang Zuo didn’t discuss it further. There was still some time, and he had already checked the location of the Celestial God Flower.

’There are plenty of dangerous things in that location.’

’If those creatures can’t stop them, my going there would be pointless. I wouldn’t be able to keep the Celestial God Flower.’

’So, I’d better condense my Innate Three Qi first, and find a way out of this predicament while I’m at it.’

Duan Qiao really wanted to know how to refine the Celestial God Five Extremes Pill. A five-million-year lifespan was nothing to it, but it could grant resurrection.

’If I ate it, could I grow back my other half?’

’If so, I’d be a whole bridge!’

’But... I’d still be a pet.’

Duan Qiao felt a wave of despair.

By now, Jiang Zuo was standing on a mountain summit. The peak formed a boundary, with a desert on one side and a forest on the other.

"It feels close," Jiang Zuo murmured.

"Time to go." Jiang Zuo leaped into the air.

This time, he didn’t plan on walking. He was going to use Sword Flight.

Walking was pointless now; he could no longer replenish his Spiritual Qi that way.

He could absorb it from grass and leaves, but not from dirt.

So, Mo Mingbei was now only expending energy, with no way to replenish it.

He was in despair. Utter despair.

Jiang Zuo opened the Celestial Star Cave Mansion Guide. He discovered the desert wasn’t empty; in fact, it contained a place perfectly suited for secluded cultivation.

’I have to admit, I’m not as familiar with this place as the book is.’

’And I was the master of this place in my past life.’

’Too bad it blew up shortly after.’

After locating the most suitable source of the Power of Earth Attribute, Jiang Zuo flew toward it at full speed.

As he flew, Jiang Zuo glanced back. The forest gave him the feeling that it was about to erupt at any moment.

’Looks like a fight is about to break out.’

Then, Jiang Zuo sent a message on his phone.

Po Xiao: "The forest isn’t safe. Leave as soon as possible."

Meanwhile, Chi Xue Child, who was still fleeing for his life, felt a chill run down his spine the moment he saw the message in the group chat.

’Po Xiao has finally sent a warning.’

Seeing the look on Chi Xue Child’s face, Blade Master Hai Bian asked, "What’s wrong? Did the Perception Department lose their readings of the area?"

Chi Xue Child shook his head. He took out a popsicle, bit into it, and said, "Fellow Daoist Po Xiao issued a warning. We can’t stay in the forest."

’That really is bad news.’

Blade Master Hai Bian said, "Tell Xiaomo and the others to do their best to find the right way out."

Just then, Chen Yi’s voice came through to Chi Xue Child. "Stop hesitating. Just fly straight up. That way you’ll be able to see where the forest ends."

Blade Master Hai Bian frowned. While being pursued, he didn’t have the power to just fly straight up. It was already a struggle just to maintain their current speed.

Just then, Blade Master Hai Bian looked at the Black-robed Demon Cultivator.

Chi Xue Child said, "Looks like there’s no other choice."

"Yeah," Blade Master Hai Bian said with a sigh.

Then, Blade Master Hai Bian said, "Fellow Daoist in Black Robe, let’s make a deal. Let’s work together."

The Black-robed Demon Cultivator was stunned. A moment ago, when he’d suggested they cooperate, they had rejected him without a second thought. Why the sudden change of heart?

’Now’s my chance to raise the price.’

Chi Xue Child said, "Fellow Daoist Po Xiao gave a warning. Staying in this forest means certain death. Feel free to refuse our offer."

The Black-robed Demon Cultivator: "..."

’Alright.’ That one sentence shattered all his plans. ’This is no time to be haggling.’

"What’s the plan? You have a way out?" the Black-robed Demon Cultivator asked. "I just checked. We can’t escape this forest. There’s an array affecting our senses."

Blade Master Hai Bian replied, "We know. For now, let’s fly up and see if we can spot a way out."

The Black-robed Demon Cultivator readily agreed.

None of them wanted to die here.

’Po Xiao is familiar with them, so it makes sense he’d send a warning about something like this.’

’But I don’t know if they’re lying to me.’

’Looks like I need to find a way into that group chat.’

’That way, I can get firsthand information too.’

By joining forces, they finally managed to fly high into the sky, where they could see beyond the forest.

Nearby, there was a Stone Forest.

After relaying this to Xiao Xiaomo’s group, Chi Xue Child asked, "Well? Can you work with that?"

Meanwhile, Blade Master Hai Bian was flying toward the edge of the woods. He was getting closer at first, but then he started moving farther away. This confirmed there was a large-scale Maze Array in place.

Chen Yi’s voice came through again. "We’re picking up the Maze Array’s fluctuations. Just a minute. We’ve studied this type of array before. This won’t take long."

Chi Xue Child acknowledged and said to Blade Master Hai Bian, "They’re still working on a way to break it."

The Black-robed Demon Cultivator asked, "Did Po Xiao say what kind of danger it is?"

Chi Xue Child shook his head. "No, but when Fellow Daoist Po Xiao warns of danger, it usually means a battle between top-tier experts."

The Black-robed Demon Cultivator nodded, then called his master.

Soon, Demon Cultivator Nan Xuan’s voice came from the other end. "Are you dying?"

Her disciple wouldn’t call her if he wasn’t about to die.

The Black-robed Demon Cultivator chuckled. "Master, I’ll sell you a piece of information. One Fifth-Grade Spirit Stone.

I’m not sure if you’re in the forest, Master, but if you are, you should know it’s about to become dangerous. It’s very likely a battle between major figures."

Demon Cultivator Nan Xuan suddenly asked, "And how do you know that I’m not one of them?"

"Er..." The Black-robed Demon Cultivator was struck speechless.

He immediately asked, "Master, what are your plans?"

Demon Cultivator Nan Xuan didn’t elaborate, only saying, "Your information is correct. Some powerful Cultivators have arrived, and there may be more than one. Leave this place as soon as you can."

Then the call ended.

Blade Master Hai Bian asked, "What’s the situation?"

The Black-robed Demon Cultivator replied, "My master said powerful Cultivators have arrived here—possibly more than one."

Alright, now they knew for sure. This place was truly unsafe.

But why would they choose to fight here?

None of them had any idea.
