616: Do you think cultivators at the Heaven and Earth King Realm are as common as cabbages?
Above the great river, divine vessels floated.
These divine vessels were enveloped by wondrous Formations, their divine light beautiful.
Only such divine vessels from powerful Sects could fly within this Celestial River; relying solely on Cultivators themselves, unless their Physical Bodies were strong enough to ignore the attacks of the great demons in the Celestial River, no one would willingly become a target.
There were dozens of divine vessels, each very large, carrying experts from various powerful forces.
Among them, the most conspicuous was the one from You Province's Spiritual Underworld Sect, which was considerably larger than the others.
A ruddy-faced old man with silver hair stood on the deck of a divine vessel, stroking his beard, his gaze fixed on the distant island with a gloomy expression.
"It's already been three days. We finally managed to split the alliance between the Shattering Sect and the Three Lives Sect, yet we can't even deal with a remnant of the Three Lives Sect. Is it possible that this divine medicine is truly fated not to be mine?"
The old man was named Dugu Ao, a Half-step Heaven and Earth King Realm expert, just one step away from the Heaven and Earth Sealing King Realm.
Perhaps with a single clear thought, he might step into that realm.
But he might also be stuck in the Half-step Heaven and Earth King Realm his entire life, unable to ever enter it.
What he lacked was an opportunity.
An Epiphany, or a divine medicine!
The appearance of this white tiger divine medicine was perfectly timed; for Dugu Ao, it was his chance to Breakthrough to the Heaven and Earth Sealing King Realm!
However, this opportunity seemed to have come a bit late, as the Three Lives Sect had seized the initiative.
Dugu Ao was extremely vexed.
Now, not only had numerous Sect experts been drawn here, but even the great demons in the Celestial River had mobilized, and the troubles were growing.
"Elder Dugu, we can't wait any longer. Three days are enough for Yuan Fei to relay the news here to the Three Lives Sect and the Shattering Sect. Their movements are not slow; once their reinforcements arrive, we might..."
At this moment, a grim-faced middle-aged man stepped forward. He was very tall, holding a blood-red long spear, radiating killing intent.
Nanchengzi was also an expert from You Province.
However, he was not a figure from any Sect, but one of the few powerful Loose Cultivators in You Province!
He was considered an expert!
At the same time, some other experts on the same divine vessel were also discussing in low voices.
"Alas, if such a divine medicine falls into the hands of the Three Lives Sect, I'm afraid it will enable the Three Lives Sect and the Shattering Sect to produce a few more Heaven and Earth Sealing King Realm experts."
"How can it be that simple? Do you think Heaven and Earth Sealing King Realm Cultivators are as common as cabbages? It would be good if one divine medicine could allow two senior experts to step into the Heaven and Earth Sealing King Realm."
"That's not necessarily true. The reason a divine medicine is a divine medicine is because of the divinity and the Laws of Heaven and Earth it contains. No one knows how many Cultivators a divine medicine can truly allow to step into that realm. Ancient records state that those who obtain a divine medicine can at least reach the Venerable Realm! This is not just talk!"
"That makes sense! It's probably impossible for us to obtain the divine medicine. Too many Sects have come this time, and the great demons are also eyeing it greedily. If we have a chance to get even a single divine medicine leaf, it would be enough for us to advance further!"
Many Cultivators had self-awareness, as many Sect experts had come, and their strength was also very formidable.
With their strength, it was simply impossible to contend with these great Sects for anything.
divine medicine fruits were hard to come by, and divine medicine leaves were also treasures, equally rare.
One divine medicine would cause so many Cultivators to fight over it, but only a few major Sect forces truly had a chance to obtain it.
Dugu Ao suddenly turned around and glanced at everyone indifferently.
This gaze seemed to freeze this space-time, making the air unable to flow. All the Cultivators choked.
They felt an inexplicable panic wash over them.
The unparalleled suppressive force made all the strong individuals lower their heads.
Dugu Ao was too strong!
He filled everyone with fear.
Having such a powerful individual here to deal with the experts of the Three Lives Sect and the Shattering Sect was naturally a good thing.
But when it came to sharing, it might not be a good thing.
"The divine medicine goes to the capable. If the time is not right, what good is it even if the Three Lives Sect got the upper hand?"
Dugu Ao said, then turned his head back and continued, "Besides, it's not just us who are anxious; those great demons should be even more anxious than us!"
This was, after all, the Celestial River, which belonged to the great demons!
They inherently needed this divine medicine the most.
With the help of the divine medicine, great demons had a chance to undergo transformation.
Dugu Ao had endured until now precisely because he wanted these great demons to be the first to act.
Upon hearing this, Nanchengzi and the others did not say anything further.
After all, the most important thing right now was to secure the divine medicine. If even Dugu Ao wasn't anxious, their anxiety was useless.
Thump, thump, thump!
Suddenly, a rapid roar came.
All the Cultivators looked up at the distance.
They saw a terrifying phantom suddenly appear in the sky, its indifferent eyes like two abysses, staring at the many Cultivators on the dozens of divine vessels.
"White Spirit great demon, we mind our own business. Why do you come here to show off your power? What do you want?"
Looking at the enormous phantom, Dugu Ao said coldly.
That White Spirit great demon was also a Half-step Heaven and Earth King Realm expert, incredibly powerful. Among the many Cultivators present, few were its match.
Dugu Ao happened to be one of them!
They had all clashed before and were aware of each other's cultivation and strength.
If the other party were to act now, it would be an extremely unwise move.
"Dugu Ao, I'm not here to argue with you. If you want to fight, let's fight after we get the divine medicine; it won't be too late!"
"Now that the divine medicine is about to appear, if we continue to let the people of the Three Lives Sect control it, once the divine medicine matures, those two fellows could use it to enter the Heaven and Earth Sealing King Realm. At that time, not to mention you all, we great demons won't have it easy either."
"You should understand the outcome!"
The White Spirit great demon's words were very clear, and its meaning was also very explicit: do not let the people of the Three Lives Sect obtain the divine medicine.
Of course, this was something both sides understood.
However, in the current situation, it seemed that its words, as a great demon, were of no use.
"Hmph, I naturally understand this, and I don't need you to remind me!"
Dugu Ao sneered coldly and said, "I also understand your purpose in coming here, but why should we cooperate with you? As fellow Human Race Cultivators, wouldn't it be better if we annihilated you, and then we and the Three Lives Sect competed for the divine medicine based on our own abilities?"
This was precisely the point the White Spirit great demon feared most!
Otherwise, it wouldn't have bothered to come here.
"Hahahahaha!"
The White Spirit great demon suddenly burst into laughter, causing many Cultivators to show angry expressions.
"What are you laughing at?"
Dugu Ao said coldly.
Shouldn't it be worried at this moment?
"I laugh at your foolishness!"
After laughing, the White Spirit great demon said, "You Human Race are inherently chaotic internally, fighting among yourselves. You still want to join forces against us? Isn't that a joke?"
"You're thinking of joining forces with the Three Lives Sect? Why would they? Once they step into the Heaven and Earth Sealing King Realm, they'll probably be the first to annihilate you all!"
