Chapter 829 - 800: Immortal Cave Mansion

Sun Zhe’s voice echoed between heaven and earth, like a divine judgment handed down by a god.

The Earth Martial Artists looked up at his figure, only feeling that he shone with boundless radiance.

Then.

Under the shocked gazes of everyone, Sun Zhe, brimming with killing intent, flew toward the odd peak ahead and shattered the Array barrier with a single punch.

Not long after, shrill screams echoed among the strange peaks.

"W-who... who exactly is he?"

Chu Chenglong’s face was pale, sweat pouring down his forehead, as if he was still immersed in the might of that punch Sun Zhe had just thrown.

Madman Zhang laughed and said, "Who he is doesn’t matter. What matters is, he’s one of us Earthlings, he’s from Hua Country!"

"..."

...

The screams coming from that strange peak continued intermittently for nearly twenty minutes before finally dying out.

About ten minutes later, that peak suddenly burst into raging flames, sealed and roasted entirely within that barrier until it turned into lava.

"Boom!"

Sun Zhe descended from the sky, landing with a crash in front of Zhu Yan. He had just steadied himself when Zhu Yan threw herself into his arms like a swallow returning to its nest.

"Are you alright?"

Sun Zhe pinched her nose, then looked over at Madman Zhang and asked, "Senior, for the Cultivation resources found in the Outer Wilderness, if we hand them over to the Changwu Pavilion, how are the points calculated?"

At that, Madman Zhang was stunned for a moment, then quickly stepped up in front of him and patiently explained it in detail.

After a short while.

After listening to Madman Zhang’s explanation, Sun Zhe took out an ancient-looking copper ring and handed it to him, saying, "This is a Storage Treasure I took from some Sect Master from the Outer Domain earlier. There are also supplies I stripped from his disciples inside. I’ll have to trouble Senior to help tally them and convert everything into points."

"Uh... no problem. But I don’t know your name; under whose name should these points be recorded?"

Sun Zhe glanced at Zhu Yan. "Just put them under Yan’Er’s name."

Madman Zhang smiled. "Alright, leave it to me. Rest assured, my friend, I, Zhang, will record every single point under Miss Zhu’s name without missing a bit!"

Sun Zhe then looked at Grandmaster Tianyun and Old Man Meng on the other side, lowered his voice, and said, "Seniors, might I borrow you three for a word in private?"

A short while later.

The three followed Sun Zhe into a small grove not far away.

Seeing that there was no one around, Grandmaster Tianyun spoke up, "My young friend, you called us over—do you have any instructions?"

Sun Zhe smiled. "Not exactly. It’s just that I, junior as I am, have some questions I’d like to consult the three of you about."

He paused, then added, "It’s about the Taiyin Sacred Body."

Ever since he learned from Wu Zheng that Zhu Yan possessed the "Taiyin Sacred Body," this question had been lingering in Sun Zhe’s heart.

It was just that he had never heard of any "Taiyin Sacred Body" before, and with Little Dragon Girl and Long Youyou not by his side now, there was no one to explain it to him, so he could only ask the old fellows like Grandmaster Tianyun.

Madman Zhang thought for a bit. "I seem to have heard of the Taiyin Sacred Body, but I’m not too clear on it. Tian Yun, you brat have been well-read since childhood, you should know, right?"

Grandmaster Tianyun said, "What I know is all based on records in ancient texts. It’s said that the Taiyin Sacred Body is a constitution on par with the Pure Yang Holy Body, but it’s unimaginably rare, even rarer than the Pure Yang Holy Body."

He added, "According to what’s recorded, once someone with this kind of constitution trains the Power of Taiyin to its limit, they can even freeze time and space."

Sun Zhe was astonished. "That terrifying?"

Grandmaster Tianyun chuckled. "It’s just what’s written in the records. Whether it’s true or not is impossible to verify. That’s all this old man knows; as for anything else, I have no way of knowing."

Sun Zhe nodded. "Thanks."

Madman Zhang laughed. "Speaking of which, what you did today, my young friend, has shaken the world! Those little brats, seeing what you did today, will definitely get fired up and awaken the blood and guts of our Hua Country!"

Hearing this, Sun Zhe merely gave a modest smile and said nothing.

At this moment, Grandmaster Tianyun asked, "I wonder what my young friend plans to do next?"

Sun Zhe said, "After all this fuss, I’m tired. I want to find a place to rest for a few days first. What about you, Seniors?"

Old Man Meng said, "You may not know this, young friend, but we were originally planning to go explore opportunities in an Immortal Cave Mansion. It was only because of the upheaval at the Fire Lake Islands that we detoured here to take a look. Now that matters here are settled, we naturally have to hurry to the Immortal Cave Mansion."

Hearing this, Sun Zhe frowned slightly. "Immortal Cave Mansion—just from the name, it doesn’t sound simple."

"Of course not!"

Madman Zhang laughed. "It’s said that this Immortal Cave Mansion is a cave where one of Earth’s ancient ancestors once lived and cultivated in his lifetime, with countless treasures inside. If you can find any treasure in there, just taking one out at random would be enough to set the Martial world ablaze."

Hearing that, Sun Zhe’s interest was instantly piqued. "Alright then, after I rest a few days, I’ll head over and take a look too. Seniors, let’s meet at the Immortal Cave Mansion when the time comes."

"Good, it’s a promise!"

"..."

After bidding farewell to the three Seniors, Sun Zhe wrapped an arm around Zhu Yan’s slender waist and flew into the sky under everyone’s watchful gazes, disappearing in an instant.

Zhu Yan put her arms around Sun Zhe’s neck and asked curiously, "What were you talking about with those three just now?"

Sun Zhe told her honestly, "Nothing much, just asking about the Taiyin Sacred Body."

Zhu Yan’s expression turned odd. "I didn’t even know I had some Taiyin Sacred Body."

Sun Zhe said, "So from childhood till now, you never felt that you were different from other people in any way?"

Zhu Yan shook her head. "Nope."

"Alright, we’ll talk about it later."

Zhu Yan reached out and removed the mask from his face, then leaned in and gave a light, dragonfly-like peck at the corner of his lips before putting the mask back on him. She then asked, "By the way, why did you register all the points under my name?"

Sun Zhe grinned. "Because I came to the Outer Wilderness through other means and never officially registered. Besides, you’ve always been the one managing the household and the money for me."

"Tch."

Zhu Yan snorted softly, her tone a bit sour. "You sure are generous, huh? You collected so many goodies, and you really handed them all over to the Changwu Pavilion?"

Sun Zhe wore a mysterious look on his face. "Relax, I kept all the real good stuff for myself. Only the useless things got handed in for points."

"It only took me five minutes to slaughter all those people, but it took me almost half an hour to loot their stuff. You think I’m dumb enough to hand everything over?"

Zhu Yan’s expression turned odd. "At least you know what you’re doing."

Sun Zhe’s hand misbehaved, slipping toward her waist as he slowly pulled out the hem of her tight short-sleeved top tucked into her pants.

"Hey, we’re flying in the sky, behave yourself." Zhu Yan twisted her waist to dodge his groping hand and asked, "Where are we going now?"

Sun Zhe hugged her even tighter and suggested, "Why don’t we find a place to Cultivate first?"

Zhu Yan’s pretty face flushed red. She pinched him in annoyance. "What about Shuqing, Yu Shu and the others? Have you found them?"

"Relax, not only are they fine right now, they’re having a pretty carefree time."

Sun Zhe connected his Divine Sense to the White Jade Ring, checked on the situation of Lin Shuqing and the other girls, then suddenly hugged Zhu Yan and glided toward a forest below.

"Yan’Er, I’ve been holding back for so long I really can’t take it anymore. Let’s go Cultivate first!"

"Mm... fine... I really can’t do anything about you."

"..."
