Chapter 1575 – Divine Galaxy Sand

While Liu Wuxie searched for the next stone door, he sneezed several times in quick succession.

“Who’s cursing me?” Liu Wuxie murmured, sweeping his gaze around in bafflement, yet finding not a single soul nearby. If those experts realized they were running in the opposite direction, who knew what expressions they would wear?

“Young Master, why aren’t we chasing along the trail left behind by Liu Wuxie and are heading in the opposite direction instead?” asked the Peach Blossom Gate elders, who had fought Liu Wuxie earlier.

Tao Xuanming stiffened at the question. He couldn’t possibly admit that Liu Wuxie’s tricks had made them paranoid, to the point they had convinced themselves Liu Wuxie would repeat the same deception.

Even Nalan Qiuhe felt helplessness wash over her. They had lost every trace of Liu Wuxie, and they would need someone to find him again before they could rush over.

After all, wandering blindly solved nothing, and splitting up wasn’t an option either. If they scattered, they still couldn’t do anything to Liu Wuxie even if they found him. With Liu Wuxie’s combat strength, a single pinnacle Heaven Gaze Realm expert couldn’t stall him. That left them at a disadvantage, while Liu Wuxie held the upper hand.

“He can’t escape anyway. Even if we fail to find him, he won’t be able to escape as long as we seal off the exit,” said a Peach Blossom Gate elder.

Nalan Qiuhe and the Nalan Clan elders rolled their eyes at that Peach Blossom Gate elder, as if the thought had never occurred to them. They feared Liu Wuxie would seize a pile of treasures and use them to break through in cultivation.

If that happened, what good would sealing exits do? Liu Wuxie would still kill them. After all, he had already proven his strength by slaughtering over a hundred people in just one minute, so their best option remained killing him before he could grow stronger.

“There are divinekin over there!” Tao Xuanming said, turning his gaze toward the distance where over a dozen divinekin were searching for something.

“I have an idea!” Nalan Qiuhe’s eyes brightened the moment she spotted the divine race.

People across the Spirit Martial Astral Domain had long believed Liu Wuxie and the divine race were enemies, and his battle with the divine son had become a blazing topic throughout the four astral domains. There was a strong chance the divine race had come to the Spirit Martial Astral Domain to avenge their divine son.

Nalan Qiuhe moved toward the divine race without hesitation.

“Young Lady, don’t!” The Nalan Clan elders panicked. The divine race and mankind were mortal enemies. Was she really going to start a war with the divine race?

Divine energy served as the nemesis of humanity, and humanity rarely gained the upper hand in a direct fight with the divine race.

When the divinekin saw a human rushing over, they immediately became alert.

“Please don’t misunderstand. I have no hostile intention, and I only wish to form a cooperation with the divine race,” Nalan Qiuhe said calmly. To keep her safe, the Nalan Clan elders closed in and guarded her at the center.

“You humans want to cooperate with us? Am I hearing it right?” asked the divine race’s leader, giving Nalan Qiuhe an odd look.

“As long as we have a common interest, why can’t we cooperate?” Nalan Qiuhe asked.

“Speak. How do you want to cooperate?” asked the divine race’s leader, studying Nalan Qiuhe with curiosity.

The divinekin possessed high cultivation and clearly stood among the divine race’s elites. Since they had come to the Spirit Martial Astral Domain, there was a high chance they had come here for Liu Wuxie.

After learning Liu Wuxie had entered the Spirit Martial Astral Domain, the Grand Unity Sect had already stationed experts at the borders between the two astral domains, waiting for Liu Wuxie’s return.

“Let’s join forces to kill Liu Wuxie,” Nalan Qiuhe said, biting down hard on her words, especially when she spoke Liu Wuxie’s name.

“You also want Liu Wuxie dead?” The leader of the divine race asked, puzzled by what Nalan Qiuhe proposed. He began to wonder whether these people truly harbored such a deep grudge against Liu Wuxie.

“To be honest, we’re locked in a life-and-death feud with Liu Wuxie. But that brat is too cunning and keeps slipping away from our hands. Does your divine race have any way to lock onto his exact position?” Nalan Qiuhe asked. The Peach Blossom Cave was too massive, and they didn’t have time to scour it blindly.

If they could pinpoint Liu Wuxie’s location, they would save a great deal of time.

“Why should we trust you?” The divine race’s leader asked, sneering. They held no trust in humans.

“I believe you should know about the Nalan Clan. I’m the Nalan Clan’s third young lady, and this is the Peach Blossom Gate’s young sect master. Do you think we would joke about this with our status?” Nalan Qiuhe asked, revealing her identity and pointing at Tao Xuanming to prove they did not need to lie.

The leader of the divine race hesitated, then communicated with the other divinekin. If they cooperated with the Nalan Clan and the Peach Blossom Gate, they would have a higher chance of killing Liu Wuxie.

“We will cooperate, but after you kill him, you must hand his corpse to us,” said the divine race’s leader. After all, they had to bring Liu Wuxie’s corpse back to the divine race to strip away the Ancestral Tree.

“I agree,” Nalan Qiuhe said without hesitation. She only wanted Liu Wuxie dead, and where his corpse ended up meant nothing to her.

“We have already locked onto Liu Wuxie’s location, and he’s five hundred thousand meters up ahead,” the divine race’s leader said. They had already pinpointed Liu Wuxie, and they had simply been passing through when Nalan Qiuhe had stopped them.

Upon hearing that the divine race had pinpointed Liu Wuxie’s location, Nalan Qiuhe and the others lit up with joy. Nalan Qiuhe didn’t ask how the divine race managed it because it clearly had its own methods.

A segment of the Ancestral Tree’s trunk appeared in the divine race leader’s hand, and through it, they could sense one another.

Likewise, Liu Wuxie could sense the divine race because the Ancestral Tree had already warned him of approaching danger within the desolate world.

Liu Wuxie asked with a frown, “The divine race has found me?!”

Up ahead, he spotted a stone door where two cultivators were struggling to break the restriction. They had been at it for a long time, yet the door remained unmoved. Gradually, they began to pace in mounting panic.

“It looks like I have to make my breakthrough as quickly as possible,” Liu Wuxie murmured, his brows drawn tight.

With the Nalan Clan, the Peach Blossom Gate, and the pirates of the Seventy-Two Caves hunting him, the consequences would be dire if they found him. Now, even the divine race had joined, and he practically faced enemies on all sides.

“Kid, get over here and help us!” the two cultivators shouted when they spotted Liu Wuxie.

The two cultivators stood only at the pinnacle of the Earth Immortal Realm, so it was no wonder they couldn’t crack the restriction after trying for so long. If they had reached the Heaven Gaze Realm, they would have broken through by now.

“Deal with it yourself!” Liu Wuxie said. He had no intention of helping others and wasting time. He could wait until they failed and open it later, and if they succeeded, he wouldn’t snatch it either because treasures naturally belonged to the capable.

“Damn it!” After two hours of failure, fury boiled in their chests, and Liu Wuxie’s words ignited it completely. One of them didn’t hesitate and struck Liu Wuxie with his palm.

Liu Wuxie froze at the sudden attack. He hadn’t said anything harsh. He had only told them to handle it themselves, so how had he become the one in the wrong?

They had failed to break the restriction for so long that Liu Wuxie’s refusal became the final straw that snapped them. If Liu Wuxie had stood at the Heaven Gaze Realm, they wouldn’t have dared, because the cultivation world was that cruel.

The palm strike had already closed in on Liu Wuxie.

“Die!” Liu Wuxie said, and the Heretic Blade flew out on its own. Before the attacker could react, he was already dead.

The remaining cultivator trembled in terror at the sight and fled into the darkness without hesitation. He didn’t even dare to think about revenge for his companion.

“Uh…” Liu Wuxie frowned, creases gathering on his forehead. Since the man had already run, Liu Wuxie saw no reason to kill him.

With no one else nearby, Liu Wuxie walked up to the stone door. He could feel the divine race’s aura drawing closer, so he had to move fast. He cleaved down with the Heretic Blade and shattered the restriction, then executed the Dragon-Grasping Hand and tore the door open by force, sending stone fragments flying outward.

The instant the stone door opened, a terrifying aura surged out of the stone chamber and nearly sent Liu Wuxie flying.

“Earth-attribute energy!” Liu Wuxie exclaimed as earth-attributed energy flooded the entire cave, explaining why the stone door had exploded so violently.

He strode into the cave and saw a lump of golden sand hovering in the air, like a galaxy of gold suspended in darkness. Liu Wuxie stared with widened eyes as he recognized the Divine Galaxy Sand.

People could buy Divine Galaxy Sand, but they could get only eight or ten grains at most. The Divine Galaxy Sand before him wasn’t a mere handful; it was a suspended river, and its visual impact struck like a hammer.

Eight or ten grains of Divine Galaxy Sand wouldn’t help Liu Wuxie at all, but this river was different because each grain contained powerful earth-attribute energy, and each grain weighed six hundred kilograms.

“This is perfect! The Divine Galaxy Sand here contains Great Dao of Earth’s fragments, and I can use it to make a breakthrough in my cultivation to the seventh-level Earth Immortal Realm,” Liu Wuxie murmured with a faint smile.

The Divine Galaxy Sand had appeared at exactly the right moment. With a wave of his hand, the Divine Galaxy Sand swirled and danced, then flowed toward him. He immediately summoned the Sky Devouring Divine Cauldron and swallowed all the Divine Galaxy Sand in one breath.

Without hesitation, Liu Wuxie vanished, planning to leave this place first. He shuttled through space and crossed thousands of miles in mere minutes, then immediately entered the Heavenly Deity Monument and isolated himself from the outside world.

The Heavenly Deity Monument’s laws differed completely from the outside, so it wasn’t suitable for comprehending the heavenly dao or treating injuries. The only benefit lay in the time saved during breakthroughs, because he didn’t need to harmonize with heaven and earth.

With the support of the Divine Galaxy Sand, Liu Wuxie didn’t need to comprehend the heavenly dao at all, and he could use the sand to push his breakthrough to the seventh-level Earth Immortal Realm. Those who comprehended the heavenly dao would require true harmony with heaven and earth.

Treating injuries required absorbing the laws of heaven and earth, and the Heavenly Deity Monument couldn’t provide them.

Fifteen minutes later, Nalan Qiuhe and the divine race finally arrived at this stone chamber. They fell into silence as they stared at the empty chamber and the lingering traces of Liu Wuxie’s aura.

“The treasure in this chamber has probably fallen into Liu Wuxie’s hands by now,” Nalan Qiuhe remarked reluctantly.

“Let’s hope that it’s not a treasure that can increase the cultivation,” Tao Xuanming said. He had already acknowledged Liu Wuxie’s terror, and the consequences would be dire if he obtained treasures that could raise his cultivation.

So far, most of the treasures found had been weapons and manuals, and none had directly helped Liu Wuxie increase his cultivation.
