Chapter 1283 - 1383: The Speed of the Substitute Magical Treasure

After all, inside the Chaos Divine Pearl, Ye Tianfan is like a god.

Even if Taichu Zhenren enters the Chaos Divine Pearl, though Ye Tianfan won't directly obliterate him, he can still use any manipulatable aspect within the Chaos Divine Pearl to deal with Taichu Zhenren.

So if Taichu Zhenren is truly captured by Ye Tianfan and taken into the Chaos Divine Pearl, defeat is only a matter of time. After all, there's not much spiritual power or resources for Taichu Zhenren to absorb inside the Chaos Divine Pearl.

Everything inside the Chaos Divine Pearl is dictated by Ye Tianfan. Though everyone lives comfortably here, they all realize their lives are in Ye Tianfan's hands. They believe that Ye Tianfan won't harm them, but knowing their lives are controlled by others is unsettling. No one would feel comfortable having their life in another's hands.

Furthermore, for those cultivators, who take life lightly, it's sometimes preferable to die than to lose freedom. They understand that once freedom is lost, they may fall from their path, learning to compromise.

This would make them lose their true self, causing their cultivation to stagnate.

After all, cultivation begins with the heart. Without the heart, no matter how much spiritual power you have, it's useless, as the more spiritual power, the more likely you'd lose control.

At this moment, the leisurely martial contest has ended, and the victor is Zhichu Zhenren.

Moreover, in the final match, Zhichu Zhenren didn't make much effort—his opponents yielded with minimal exertion. Though Zhichu Zhenren was a medical cultivator, his own strength was formidable.

Next comes the free combat, allowing time to pass quicker, as Yuan Chu Zhenren needs several more days to create the Substitute Magical Treasure.

In these few days, Ye Tianfan did not fight with others, as he understood that against those he couldn't defeat, he stood no chance, and those he could beat, he could easily defeat.

Such battles offer no training value.

In such cases, either Ye Tianfan humors others, or others humor Ye Tianfan because within these elites, there's a vast disparity. Only when they fight can it serve as training. For someone of Ye Tianfan's level, battling here holds no purpose.

This is one of the pains of Ye Tianfan's ability to fight beyond his level.

Sometimes, being too powerful may place you awkwardly in front of true masters, neither here nor there, as on one end, you can't match their level, yet you're far stronger than those of relatively lower strength.

Yet, these days Ye Tianfan hasn't been idle, training his spiritual power while observing the vine monster outside.

After all, that vine monster is the culprit behind their entrapment, so Ye Tianfan constantly observes it to see if it might just leave.

Ye Tianfan doesn't believe that vine monster would just stay here without attacking other extraneous beings, given its characteristic of devouring and absorbing outside beings to strengthen itself.

Remaining here constantly contradicts the vine monster's nature since it ought to seek other prey rather than waste time on a single target, defying its core trait.

Moreover, extraneous beings are driven by devouring and killing, with no extraneous being likely to stay put for long.

Unless this extraneous being is injured or resting, it won't remain in one place. Even slightly wounded extraneous beings keep moving, patrolling their territory continuously.

Hoping to encounter some other extraneous beings trespassing in their territory, so they can continue killing.

But evidently, this vine monster is neither injured nor resting. It doesn't care about enhancing power or other extraneous beings invading its territory.

Even Ye Tianfan sensed no aura of killing intent or frenzy from this vine monster. It seems rather serene, as if nothing catches its attention. If attacked, it retaliates, otherwise acts indifferently.

Yet, if this is the vine monster's mindset, it shouldn't keep pursuing them, since Taichu Zhenren has already fled.

Yet, the vine monster pursued endlessly. Even as Taichu Zhenren kept fleeing, the vine monster relentlessly chased, forcing Taichu Zhenren to enter the Chaos Divine Pearl to evade its pursuit.

And the vine monster waited patiently at Taichu Zhenren's vanished location, much like waiting to catch prey.

Although Ye Tianfan found this slightly amusing, as someone involved, it was far from funny.

While Ye Tianfan was feeling a bit irritable with his observations, he received news from Taichu Zhenren that the Substitute Magical Treasure Yuan Chu Zhenren forged had succeeded.

And as Taichu Zhenren delivered this news to Ye Tianfan, he also brought the Substitute Magical Treasure, informing Ye Tianfan that once released, everything follows pre-adjusted plans.

Meaning, this treasure has been pre-set, programmed on actions post-release from the Chaos Divine Pearl.

Hearing this, Ye Tianfan hurriedly released the Substitute Magical Treasure from the Chaos Divine Pearl, then focused on it to see the effect.

Naturally, he allotted viewing rights to Taichu Zhenren and Yuan Chu Zhenren.

Soon many others requested Ye Tianfan to share viewing permission, prompting him to project a large screen at the martial contest venue, displaying the situation externally.

They saw the Substitute Magical Treasure speedily darting in a direction once released from the Chaos Divine Pearl.

Radiating a soft glow.

"This glow can ward off negative energies like demonic qi and evil qi, lasting for a week which is sufficient for us," explained Yuan Chu Zhenren as he saw the Substitute Magical Treasure emit light.

The glow then vanished, and in mere breaths, the Substitute Magical Treasure disappeared from everyone's sight.
