Chapter 637: Chapter 636: Going Back to Show Off to Su Qi

Celestial Star Cave Mansion

The battle in the forest grew increasingly intense. Any ordinary cultivator who remained inside would surely die.

"Senior Brother, do we really have to go back? Do you think Martial Uncle is still fighting someone?" Chen Yu asked.

The swords in their hands were what helped them; without them, they could never have lingered inside for so long.

And they had remained unharmed.

Chen An shook his head. "No. Martial Uncle was defeated."

Although he didn’t want to admit it, one of the two people fighting now was the same person who had fought their Martial Uncle earlier.

If their Martial Uncle hadn’t been defeated, things wouldn’t be like this.

"Then Martial Uncle... could he have...?" Chen Yu asked. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ

Chen An shook his head. "I don’t know. We’ll find him first and figure it out from there."

"Are we... going to die here?" Chen Yu asked again.

Chen An felt a wave of helplessness. ’If we die here, it’ll be more than half your fault.’

But he would never say such a thing out loud. He simply replied, "I don’t know."

Chen Yu looked at her senior brother. "Senior Brother, I think my poor little heart..."

Chen An immediately clamped a hand over Chen Yu’s mouth, his voice strained. "Junior Sister, I’d really like to live a little longer."

Chen Yu rolled her eyes but said nothing more.

’Couples who show off their affection die fast? That’s just a rumor. A total rumor.’

’Rumors spread by people who have no one to show off their affection with.’

The two of them had to practically crawl forward the whole way, as the power of the aftershocks far surpassed their imagination.

The aftershocks loomed over them like a dark storm cloud, pressing down so hard it felt like it could crash down upon them at any second.

And they felt they could die at any moment.

Chen Yu clutched the hem of Chen An’s robes, since Chen An needed both hands to crawl forward.

So, all Chen Yu could do was clutch the hem of his robes.

Just then, Chen An said, "I found him."

Hearing this, Chen Yu looked over. She saw Swordsman Beitian, covered in blood and showing no sign of life, lying on the ground at the mercy of the destructive aftershocks.

He looked like a man who had died in solitude, who had passed away right in front of them, just lying there, utterly neglected.

Demon Cultivator Nan Xuan had already reached the shore of the lake, and Gui Jianchou had arrived on the opposite side as well.

Now, it was just a question of who would make the first move.

Although Demon Cultivator Nan Xuan was concealing her aura, she figured it made little difference whether she did or not.

The two people fighting and Gui Jianchou alike all knew she was there.

It was just that she only had a Tier Four Cultivation, so they didn’t pay her much mind.

But this worked to her advantage. With the element of surprise, she just might be able to get the Celestial God Flower.

Once she had it, it would be a matter of whether these people dared to pursue her all the way to the Holy Land.

The Yue Lian Holy Land was not to be trifled with. As long as she made it back to the Holy Land, she would essentially be safe.

At least, she wouldn’t be in danger from the people here.

So, obtaining it was the crucial part.

Gui Jianchou was also staring at the Celestial God Flower.

There was only one flower in the lake; no one could mistake it for anything else.

’But isn’t it growing a bit too conspicuously?’

This was what he had been hesitating about.

Otherwise, he would have snatched it long ago. As soon as he obtained the Celestial God Flower, he would open a portal and go straight back.

’None of these people could compare to him.’

’So how can I determine if the Celestial God Flower is real?’

’This is really so difficult.’

’Taste-testing it is out of the question.’

After hesitating for a moment, Gui Jianchou had an idea: he would use poison.

’The Celestial God Flower would definitely not be harmed by poison.’

With this in mind, Gui Jianchou began to release his Ghost Qi. For plants, Ghost Qi was a type of poison, and he could also receive feedback from the plant through the Ghost Qi.

’It was simply perfect.’

As for the woman on the other side of the lake, he paid her no mind at all. ’Her? She thinks she’s worthy of snatching the Celestial God Flower?’

’What a joke.’

The other three people naturally detected the emergence of the Ghost Qi.

But no one stopped him. They weren’t fools; they also weren’t sure if the Celestial God Flower was real.

Using Ghost Qi was certainly one way to test it.

After that, all four of them focused their attention on the Celestial God Flower in the middle of the lake.

Other plants would always wilt slightly when they encountered Ghost Qi—even Spirit Grasses and Spirit Medicines infused with Spiritual Qi were no exception.

Soon, the Ghost Qi diffused toward the Celestial God Flower, then enveloped it completely.

At that moment, even Hei Ye and Mo Mingbei stopped fighting. Everyone was waiting, holding their breath for that one instant.

Then, the moment came. The Celestial God Flower showed no change whatsoever.

That’s right—it was completely unaffected.

Seeing this, all four of them moved at once. Their target was the Celestial God Flower.

In a flash, all four had reached the Celestial God Flower, their hands about to touch it.

However, all four had come prepared to attack, as each of them wanted to prevent the others from touching the Celestial God Flower.

Thus, just as they were about to touch the Celestial God Flower, their powers slammed into one another.

BOOM!

The four streams of power instantly radiated outward from around the Celestial God Flower, and in that moment, the entire forest vanished.

Everything was swept clean.

Even the nearby Stone Forest was affected.

Blade Master Hai Bian had already given up on comprehending the Nine Heavens Divine Fist. He hadn’t been at it for long, but it was enough.

He immediately went to find Chi Xue Child. Chi Xue Child, on the other hand, hadn’t been trying to comprehend anything; he was busy looking at a stone tablet.

He felt there was nothing here suitable for him, so he didn’t bother looking.

The short stories on the tablet, however, were quite interesting.

But they were all just fragments. The author would write a little bit and then just abandon the story. He really hated people who did that.

"Looks like the shockwave is about to reach us. Let’s get out of here," Blade Master Hai Bian said to Chi Xue Child.

Chi Xue Child walked over to Blade Master Hai Bian, shaking his head as he went. "Another one that’s only half-finished. This author is so annoying."

Then he said to Blade Master Hai Bian, "I still can’t get in touch with Fellow Daoist Po Xiao. I wonder if he’s in the forest."

It was normal to be unable to contact Po Xiao. Blade Master Hai Bian was more curious about what Chi Xue Child was reading, so he asked, "What are you looking at?"

Chi Xue Child took out two popsicles, handing one to Blade Master Hai Bian while starting to gnaw on the other. "Reading short stories," he said. "There are a lot of short stories on the stone tablet."

Blade Master Hai Bian refused the popsicle. ’That thing is probably made with gutter oil,’ he thought. He wasn’t a fan. "What’s the story about?"

Chi Xue Child said, "The one I was just reading was about two people who liked each other, but they didn’t end up together. The woman got married, and the man left. A few years later, he returned, having already achieved great success and fame.

Then, he ran into his ex-girlfriend again."

Blade Master Hai Bian asked, "And then what?"

Chi Xue Child spread his hands. "That’s it. It’s gone."

In the end, Blade Master Hai Bian said nothing more and prepared to leave with Chi Xue Child.

Just then, the Black-robed Demon Cultivator appeared again.

The Black-robed Demon Cultivator said, "My escape skills are top-notch. Want me to get you out of here? One First-Grade Spirit Stone per person."

Blade Master Hai Bian: "Not interested."

Chi Xue Child: "No money."

The only one missing was Mo Yan. If it had been Mo Yan, he would have just said, "Get lost."

As the massive battle erupted in the forest, Jiang Zuo opened his eyes in the desert.

His cultivation had now reached Tier 3.4.

Moreover, he was now a Four-Element Mage.

The best part was, he could go back and show off to Su Qi.

Because now, he could fly.
