354: This is probably a mineral vein!

Time is almost up. Purple-tier profound body crystal stones are truly rare and hard to come by.

At this moment, the Cultivator, as burly as a mountain, suddenly spoke.

As he spoke, his body remained completely still. He was like a Vicious Beast lurking in the shadows, ready to unleash the most terrifying hunt at any moment!

In his eyes, everything seemed to be prey.

The armored Cultivator and the White Face scholar both turned their gaze towards the distant deep valley, no longer paying attention to Holy Son Tian Que.

It was as if, from this moment on, Holy Son Tian Que no longer held any interest for them.

A glint flashed in Holy Que's eyes. The aura of these three people was very strong!

They were the only opponents he had encountered since coming to the Inner Sea!

These three are definitely not from the Inner Sea. It seems that people from the Immortal Great Sects of the other three Great Domains have already arrived in the Inner Sea.

During this period of seclusion, besides healing his injuries, he was primarily Cultivating and hadn't paid much attention to outside information.

In fact, many Great Sects from the four Great Domains—Eastern Continent, Southern Domain, Western Ridge, and Northern Barrens—had already dispatched their experts.

Even Golden Body Realm powerhouses had made appearances, so experts of other Realms naturally existed as well.

From the way these three spoke and their attitude towards him, it wasn't difficult to discern their origins!

Hmph, arrogant and overconfident. Who will emerge victorious is still unknown!

Having understood these crucial points, Holy Son Tian Que had no interest in interacting with them.

At their Realm, each had their own way of doing things. Even though the three opponents seemed to know each other, when they started fighting, it was likely no one would hold back, and they would ruthlessly try to kill the others.

This was what he was happy to see!

Swish, swish, swish!

At the same time, in the Void Realm, waves of powerful auras surged forth. Distant streaks of light rapidly approached.

Those experts who had detected the purple light anomaly had finally arrived. Some were farther away, so they naturally didn't arrive as quickly, but others intentionally slowed down, waiting for many experts to gather before revealing their presence.

This was also to prevent themselves from being singled out as the first target.

It seems we arrived just in time; the purple-tier profound body crystal stone has not yet appeared!

Not so fast. Even if it's about to emerge, wouldn't those nightmare Divine Souls be stirred?

That's right. The higher the tier of the crystal stone, the more those nightmare Divine Souls will be disturbed. There will be another bloody battle here!

Nightmare Divine Souls are born in this Forbidden Ground. They are few, but all are very strong!

Especially with the Divine Soul Law they participate in, which possesses the miraculous ability of dream-stealing. Even during a great upheaval, they can easily enter a Cultivator's Divine Soul through the Divine Soul Law.

Within a Cultivator's Divine Soul, they construct dreams, making it difficult to distinguish between illusion and reality.

Those with insufficient Cultivation will never wake up under these nightmares, and may even become puppets for them to control, killing Cultivators!

And Cultivators with powerful Divine Souls, if they cannot be controlled, will suffer attacks from the nightmare Divine Souls. Various Divine Soul secret arts will erupt, and even if they don't die, they will be severely wounded!

At this time, strong Physical Body strength is needed. A powerful Physical Body can, to a certain extent, resist the damage of Divine Soul secret arts.

Those with powerful Divine Souls, on the other hand, have a high probability of deterring nightmare Divine Souls.

Rumble!

Intense rumbling sounds continuously came. In the deep valley in the distance, the purple light became increasingly dazzling. Clusters of purple Qi emerged, like a dream, making it impossible to see through the purple Qi how many profound body crystal stones lay beneath.

But experienced Cultivators already felt that the purple Qi here was extraordinary!

Such dense purple radiance, already forming a halo! There must be more than one profound body crystal stone inside!

Indeed. Ancient records mention that when profound body crystal stones form a halo, it's due to crystal rock. This is probably a mineral vein!

Hiss!!! If it's a mineral vein, the output must be considerable, at least dozens of pieces. The value would be terrifying!

Everyone knew the preciousness of purple-tier profound body crystal stones. Purple-tier ones, almost impossible to buy on the market, were held by major powers. If a mineral vein was confirmed, an unimaginable battle was likely to erupt here!

All the Cultivators looked at others with different eyes, a cold glint in their pupils.

Everyone who came here was an expert, and no one was foolish. They could tell at a glance that some people harbored ill intentions. The many Cultivators who had gathered together quickly dispersed, each finding a safe area to wait.

These people were all Heavenly Phenomenon Realm Cultivators. Many were Heavenly Phenomenon Realm First and Second Level experts, while the largest number were Third and Fourth Level.

Those above Heavenly Phenomenon Realm Third or Fourth Level were Saint-level figures, who didn't even put other people in their eyes.

However, their individual vigilance was not diminished in the slightest!

Everyone feared being ambushed.

At present, only Holy Son Tian Que and the three experts from other Great Domains paid no attention to the minor movements of these Cultivators, their gazes fixed on the enormous valley.

Boom!!!

Suddenly, a dense purple light erupted.

Immediately after, cold winds swirled around, and wisps of icy Qi abruptly emanated, causing layers of snow-white frost to condense everywhere on the mountains and ground, chilling to the bone!

Ah!!!

Suddenly, someone let out a shrill scream. He was clutching his head, and his entire body fell from the mountainside. His tormented face was incredibly distorted, veins bulging, and his hands flailed, powerful true Qi indiscriminately bursting forth from his body.

Bang, bang, bang!

His fists, like wind, unleashed terrifying Qi, striking at the surrounding experts.

Ah!!!

Everyone dodged too late. No one wanted to be entangled by this Cultivator who had suddenly turned savage.

On the other side, another mournful scream was heard.

But this was only the beginning. Screams rose and fell continuously, making all the surrounding Cultivators look solemn.

Dream-stealing!

This is the nightmare Divine Soul's dream-stealing technique!

Once hit by the dream-stealing technique, unless one can break free with their own Divine Soul, they will be controlled and become a walking corpse.

Once all their Divine Soul is exhausted and their essence, Qi, and spirit dry up, they are doomed.

Cultivators who frequently came here knew the power of these nightmare Divine Souls, and no one dared to underestimate them.

Boom!!!

Someone brought out a soul banner, enveloping themselves within it.

Someone used a Formation Flag to create a barrier, guarding against those nightmare Divine Souls taking advantage of the vulnerability.

Piercing roars rose and fell, and more and more terrifying sounds came from all directions.

Kill!!!

Some Cultivators couldn't help but attack, directly striking at the Cultivators controlled by the nightmare Divine Souls.

Puff, puff, puff!

The strength of nightmare Divine Souls lies in their control over the Divine Soul. In reality, they are just incomplete Divine Souls, and it's not certain how strong their actual power is. What's terrifying is their pervasive, mysterious, and unparalleled Divine Soul secret arts!

Even Heavenly Phenomenon Realm Cultivators inevitably fell victim, but Heavenly Phenomenon Realm Cultivators who had cultivated their Dharma Idol were completely fearless!

...Shen Tianxing led Liu Xianyun and Nie Qingxue into the abyss. In the dark space, there was a damp smell, and corpses were everywhere.

The bones of demons, ghost Cultivators, and the Human Race were scattered everywhere, along with some Deep Sea Race bones. Traces of fierce battles were all over the ground, making it imaginable that for the profound body crystal stones here, there had never been a moment of peace.

Along the way, they didn't encounter any trouble or the presence of other Cultivators, easily entering the depths of the valley.

Upon arriving, the few of them felt intense Qi fluctuations from afar. Looking from a distance, brilliant purple light floated in the vast space, shining like a scorching sun, incredibly conspicuous.

It seems we arrived at just the right time. An extraordinary Treasure Trove has appeared.

There are many treasures in the Inner Sea, especially within the Forbidden Ground. Many treasures are rare and hard to come by, and entering the Forbidden Ground is not easy.

Especially since Shen Tianxing is generally at odds with various forces, it's even harder for him to get in.

However, for him, it was quicker to snatch those treasures than to search for them himself. Why bother with all that trouble?

It's a purple-tier profound body crystal stone. It's almost impossible to see them outside; they are all in the hands of major powers.

With the temperament of those from the Holy Heaven Demon Sect, they definitely won't miss this opportunity. We just need to go there, and we're sure to run into him.

Liu Xianyun, after all, came from Dianxing Academy and knew a lot about the situation in the Inner Sea. She recognized at a glance that the purple light signified the emergence of the finest profound body crystal stone.

Then what are we waiting for? Let's go and meet this Saint of the Holy Heaven Demon Sect!

He wanted to kill people, and he wouldn't let go of the treasures. This was Shen Tianxing's way of life. Taking their things, he didn't feel guilty at all.

Might makes right; this is the Law of survival in the Inner Sea!

Nie Qingxue, beside him, looked at Shen Tianxing with a hint of surprise, a strange feeling welling up inside her.

My lord's style of doing things is completely different from others. He eagerly pursues things others disdain, and he does so very efficiently.

Things others dare not do, he never hesitates to do. This style of action is far better than that of reckless individuals.

This was her first time going out with Shen Tianxing, and also her first close-up experience of his way of doing things.

It was very new and deeply moving.

In her opinion, this was the Dao of dealing with the world, the wisdom of action!

She felt increasingly that she had followed the right person.

Soon, the three arrived at a mountain peak. Thousands of miles away, the battle was in full swing!

So many nightmare Divine Souls!

I heard that nightmare Divine Souls can steal dreams, and their Divine Soul Law is incredibly mysterious. I didn't expect even Cultivators who have entered the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm to suffer losses.

Just then, Nie Qingxue saw several Heavenly Phenomenon Realm First and Second Level Cultivators being controlled by the nightmare Divine Souls and pouncing on the surrounding Cultivators, a hint of surprise in her eyes.

Shen Tianxing, hearing this, smiled and said, "They look fierce, but in reality, they're not that scary. These Divine Souls are useless against Cultivators who have cultivated their Dharma Idol."

Cultivators who have cultivated their Dharma Idol are unshakeable within a hundred zhang radius. With the Divine Soul power of these remnants, they can only deal with those who have just entered the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm.

Huh?

Upon hearing this, Nie Qingxue quickly observed carefully and found that the facts were indeed as Shen Tianxing had said.

This made her breathe a sigh of relief.

I only heard of its fearsome reputation before, but never witnessed it. It seems my knowledge was shallow.

Nie Qingxue was a little embarrassed, and a rare blush appeared on her face.

Liu Xianyun shook her head from the side and said, "You will see many more scenes you haven't seen before. It's nothing big, and you are still very young. To have this level of insight now is already quite good."

Shen Tianxing also nodded in agreement, then turned his gaze to the distance.

The battle was still ongoing. What kind of scene was it when hundreds of Heavenly Phenomenon Realm Cultivators attacked?

In that deep valley, Qi surged, dust rolled, and mountains were blasted apart. Many Heavenly Phenomenon Realm First and Second Level Cultivators suffered.

However, as Shen Tianxing said, those Cultivators who had cultivated their Dharma Idol were incredibly stable, able to eliminate many nightmare Divine Souls with hardly any effort.

In fact, nightmare Divine Souls have never been the most terrifying existence in the Ten Thousand Monster Valley.

Cultivators are!

Mixed with powerhouses from major forces, Loose Cultivator powerhouses, and powerhouses from the Deep Sea Race, this place was completely a chaotic, ungoverned zone!

You never knew when you would be killed, nor did you know when, as you were smiling broadly after obtaining a profound body crystal stone, a fatal blade would extend from your side.

He really came. Heavenly Phenomenon Realm Seventh Level, the Saint of the Northern Barrens Immortal Sect. Truly extraordinary.

Shen Tianxing spotted Holy Son Tian Que at a glance. At the same time, sensing the aura emanating from his body, he easily recognized him.

It wasn't his first time dealing with people from the Holy Heaven Demon Sect, so recognizing them wasn't difficult.

Liu Xianyun nodded and said, "Yes, he's much stronger than that Holy Son Fufeng. It seems this guy has gained quite a lot of good fortune in the Inner Sea."

The Saints of Dianxing Academy would also be dispatched to the Inner Sea. In reality, they came here for experience and to improve their Cultivation!

The Inner Sea has many Forbidden Grounds and countless Treasure Troves. Compared to the dangers that might be encountered by traveling to other Great Domains, the risks here are much lower, making it most suitable for the Prodigies and Saints of various forces to gain experience.

Tian Que's growth already clearly illustrated the point.

Your Dianxing Academy, being close to the Inner Sea, must have nurtured quite a few Saints. This Inner Sea is almost like your backyard.

Shen Tianxing already knew Liu Xianyun's background. Liu Xianyun herself had brought it up. As their relationship grew closer, Liu Xianyun felt no need to constantly hide behind an impenetrable wall in front of Shen Tianxing.

There were no longer any secrets needed between them.

The Inner Sea attracts the Immortal Great Sects from all Great Domains, and various forces have long since intervened.

Look at those three. They are all experts from other Great Domains. The guy covered in full armor is from a Great Sect in the Eastern Continent. The scholar is the Saint of the Tianjue Dharma Sect from the Western Ridge. The brute is an expert from the South Sea Divine Sect in the Southern Domain.

Their tentacles have already reached over. It can be foreseen that the turmoil in the Inner Sea will continue until one side falls.

Liu Xianyun had visited many Great Domains and met far more people than Shen Tianxing, who came from Great Qi, could compare to.

She recognized the origins of those three isolated individuals at a glance.

Shen Tianxing nodded upon hearing this.

These people's strength is not bad, but it's only not bad.

I heard that among these Immortal Great Sects, there is a level above Saint called 'Companion Emperor,' whose Cultivation has entered the Golden Body Realm.

I wonder when I'll have the chance to witness them.
