Chapter 2221: Chapter 2221: A Surging Tidal Wave
Netherworld Points contest is a competition within a certain boundary. Although Inspector Ao Hong, representing the region’s Mystic Moon Trading House, failed, the headquarters of the Mystic Moon Trading House can’t say anything about it.
However, Jing Yan now killed Lu Chun from the regional Mystic Moon Trading House headquarters within the Yellow Spring Cave, which will undoubtedly enrage the Mystic Moon Trading House headquarters. If the Mystic Moon Trading House does not respond to this, that would be strange.
Yuantong Immortal Venerable opened his mouth but ultimately did not say anything. Like Clan Chief Xin Si, he didn’t know what to say. He didn’t know how the Mystic Moon Trading House headquarters would react; if their old nest sent out a few strong elders, how could he help Jing Yan?
Yuantong Immortal Venerable shook his head and sighed helplessly. Some matters, even he cannot oppose. Like when Elder Kuo Lian of the Mystic Moon Trading House sent him a message before, he also had to give face to the other party.
"Perhaps... Jing Yan is confident in dealing with this issue. He should be aware of the power of the Mystic Moon Trading House." After pondering for a while, Yuantong Immortal Venerable said.
Clan Chief Xin Si showed a wry smile.
Inside the Yellow Spring Cave.
At this time, Jing Yan and Xin Ruikun had already parted ways. Since the Yellow Spring Cave has not yet closed, everyone naturally continued to search for Netherworld Crystal Stones. Even if they can’t find ore veins, finding scattered Netherworld Crystal Stones is still good. Outside, even low-grade Netherworld Crystal Stones are difficult to buy. If one were to truly sell a low-grade Netherworld Crystal Stone, it could easily fetch billions of Black Crystal Stones.
After retreating, Black River Heavenly Monarch arrived at a corner of the Yellow Spring Cave and took on a human form.
"Damn it!" Black River Heavenly Monarch’s face was somewhat pale.
During the confrontation with Jing Yan, he was repeatedly attacked by Thunder Light Shining. Although he relied on the strong defensive capability of the Black River body to save his life, he was still greatly injured.
"What is that spell?"
"The thunder attribute spell with such power, how did that kid acquire it? And...how did he cultivate and master it? During the first confrontation, he did not use this spell. Could it be that he successfully cultivated it during the time he was hiding?" Black River Heavenly Monarch’s expression changed.
"How hateful!"
"This time entering the Yellow Spring Cave, I paid a great price. The Netherworld Map indeed appeared, and I successfully entered it, but in the end, I only obtained one Netherworld Heart. This one Netherworld Heart is simply insufficient for me to transcend into the Immortal Venerable level."
Black River Heavenly Monarch was fixated on the Netherworld Heart, almost certain that Jing Yan had more than one Netherworld Heart on him. However, he simply couldn’t snatch them; he couldn’t defeat Jing Yan. Thinking about the terrifying Thunder Light, he felt deeply powerless. Even his Death Lotus couldn’t withstand the Thunder Light.
The thunder attack restrained him too strongly. If his primary attribute Dao technique were of another type, perhaps the result wouldn’t be as it is now.
"Little bastard! Just wait; once I transcend to the Immortal Venerable level, the first thing I’ll do is settle accounts with you! If I don’t kill you, I won’t rest!" Black River Heavenly Monarch sat cross-legged and took out several elixirs to ingest.
He needed to heal his injuries first, to fully restore his body. When the Yellow Spring Cave closes, he might still face Yuantong Immortal Venerable’s assault; he needed to maintain peak state. If his body is injured and he simultaneously faces Yuantong Immortal Venerable and Jing Yan, even if transformed into Black River, it poses considerable danger.
At this moment, Jing Yan continues his search for Netherworld Crystal Stones. Netherworld Crystal Stones greatly benefit his cultivation; understanding Dao skills, practicing spells, and even realm enhancement can all utilize Netherworld Crystal Stones. The more, the better for this resource.
Jing Yan has now restored to the Immortal Rhythm Netherworld realm level, and further advancement is not restoring the realm but breaking through it. In the Chaos World, Jing Yan is also at the Immortal Rhythm Netherworld realm level, known as the Title Controller.
Jing Yan does not plan to spend time continuing to cultivate the Great Demon Seal Suppression Technique inside the Yellow Spring Cave; it’s too wasteful. Once he leaves the Yellow Spring Cave, he can slowly cultivate the Great Demon Seal Suppression Technique and deduce the Virtualization Technique.
Regarding the reaction of the Mystic Moon Trading House, Jing Yan has considered it. He knows that the Mystic Moon Trading House headquarters’ old nest possesses some Immortal Venerable level experts. But Jing Yan believes that with his current strength, even when facing sieges from several Immortal Venerable level cultivators, he can still escape. His achievements in Void Dao Technique are not poor. With the assistance of Virtualization Technique and Ancient Tree Inheritance, in terms of physical defense, he dares to directly withstand one or two Immortal Venerable attacks.
It’s important to know that as his realm restores to the Immortal Realm level, the power from Ancient Tree Inheritance can be almost fully manifested. The body refining technique of the Immortal Venerable level with its power completely erupting should be able to withstand several attacks from Immortal Venerables without any problem.
...
"Elder!"
Inspector Ao Hong stands alone in a room within the palace, communicating with Elder Kuo Lian at the headquarters’ old nest.
"Ao Hong, is there something again?" Elder Kuo Lian asked.
Previously Ao Hong had sent him a message, asking for help in practicing Yuantong Immortal Venerable, to let Cao Zhiqun, a Peak of Netherworld realm cultivator sent by the Mystic Moon Trading House headquarters, participate in the Netherworld Points contest.
Inspector Ao Hong heard the impatience in Kuo Lian’s original tone.
He cautiously said, "Elder, this time when the Yellow Spring Cave opened, I only got one entry quota here. It was Lu Chun who I let enter the Yellow Spring Cave."
"Hmph, you let me down!" Elder Kuo Lian snorted coldly.
Last time the Yellow Spring Cave opened, Inspector Ao Hong’s region’s Mystic Moon Trading House had four quotas. This time, only one quota was given, and naturally, Elder Kuo Lian was dissatisfied. Not just him, but many in the headquarters’ upper echelons would not be satisfied with such a result.
"Elder, I indeed miscalculated this time. I didn’t expect a suddenly emerging kid named Jing Yan to completely disrupt my plan. This kid is truly hateful, specifically opposing our Mystic Moon Trading House. Elder, now I’m reporting to you a major event. Lu Chun is dead!" Inspector Ao Hong said solemnly.
"What did you say?" Kuo Lian’s voice changed abruptly.
Mystic Moon Trading House only had one Lu Chun enter the Yellow Spring Cave, and now he’s dead?
"Elder, please listen to me as I explain the details!" Inspector Ao Hong quickened his pace, narrating the course of events in detail.
After hearing that Black River Heavenly Monarch also entered the Yellow Spring Cave, Elder Kuo Lian at the headquarters’ old nest was moved. He instinctively thought Black River Heavenly Monarch killed Lu Chun. But later he heard that Lu Chun was killed by Jing Yan. And that Jing Yan, directly confronted Black River Heavenly Monarch and even defeated him.
This information made Elder Kuo Lian feel unsettled and incredulous.
Finally, Inspector Ao Hong transmitted the relevant footage to Elder Kuo Lian.
Of course, Elder Kuo Lian watched the relevant footage immediately. When he saw the Thunder Light Shining displayed by Jing Yan, his pupils suddenly enlarged; he even held his breath.
"Is this...could it be the Thunder Emperor’s..." Kuo Lian’s heart surged with a great wave.
