261: Chapter 261 Departure

If not for Gao Feng during this trip to the Secret Realm, they would have likely died long ago under the deadly poison of the Green-Scaled Snake, or within the lethal formation of the Tianyan Sect.

Gao Feng was the one who contributed the most to this operation!

Watching the eyes of the group filled with trust and respect, Gao Feng couldn't help but feel a warm current flow through his heart.

Although he was used to walking alone.

But this feeling of being trusted and relied upon by others seemed not bad at all.

He pondered for a moment, then slowly spoke:

"Senior Brother Lin is right, we are a team."

"Since we are a team, we should naturally distribute the rewards based on contribution."

He walked to the white jade platform, reached out, and picked up the spirit gathering bead emitting vast Spiritual Qi, as well as the vajra sword exuding endless sharpness.

"These two items are useful to me."

He did not stand on ceremony at all.

Because he knew that these two items were indeed crucial to him.

The spirit gathering bead could increase the concentration of Spiritual Qi in his portable space, accelerate the growth of Spiritual Plant, and further assist in Cultivation improvement.

And this vajra sword could perfectly make up for his fatal weakness of lacking long-range attack methods!

Seeing this scene, no one raised any objections.

Because they knew that Gao Feng had the qualifications!

Then, Gao Feng cast his gaze toward "The General Outline of Ancient Talismans".

He reached out, picked up the ancient-feeling tome, and walked over to Tian Xin.

"This is yours."

He gently placed this tome, which would drive all Talisman masters crazy, into the girl's hands, which were trembling slightly from excitement.

"High... Gao Feng..." Tian Xin's eyes instantly reddened. She looked at the tome in her hands, then at the calm-looking young man, and for a moment, she didn't know what to say.

She knew what this tome meant to her.

It was not just a Cultivation Technique; it was her lifelong dream!

"Alright, don't cry." Gao Feng looked at the girl's tearful appearance and smiled helplessly. "If you really want to thank me, then work hard to Cultivate and strive to become a powerful Talisman master who can stand on her own as soon as possible."

"Mm!" Tian Xin nodded heavily, holding the tome tightly in her arms as if she were holding the most precious treasure in the world.

"As for the rest..."

Gao Feng's gaze swept over the low-grade Spiritual Plant and Medicinal Pill scattered on the floor of the tomb chamber.

"Let Senior Brother Lin, Junior Sister Yun Xi, and Senior Brother Shi Lei split them equally."

"This..."

Lin Hao, Yun Xi, and Shi Lei looked at each other, seeing deep gratitude and admiration in each other's eyes.

They never expected that Gao Feng would be so selfless.

He clearly had the qualifications to take everything.

Yet he chose to share with everyone.

This broad-mindedness and demeanor made everyone present admire him.

In the end, under Gao Feng's insistence, everyone accepted his distribution plan.

Although Lin Hao did not get the spirit gathering bead, he received most of the high-grade Spiritual Plant.

Yun Xi and Shi Lei also had a bountiful harvest.

The entire team was happy.

After distributing the loot, Gao Feng couldn't wait to put the spirit gathering bead into his portable space.

Boom!

The moment the spirit gathering bead entered the space!

The entire space shook violently!

A surge of pure Spiritual Qi, ten or a hundred times richer than before, burst out!

Nourished by this vast Spiritual Qi, the mysterious spirit tree grew wildly; its branches and leaves became more lush, and the spiritual rhyme fruit hanging on it grew even more, like bamboo shoots after a spring rain!

The spring eye of the spirit spring expanded again, and the life energy contained in the spring water became even purer!

And that small spiritual field expanded outward by several times, turning into a huge herb garden dozens of meters in radius!

"Hahaha! Good! Good! Good!"

A wave of wild joy surged in Gao Feng's heart!

With this spirit gathering bead, his portable space was equivalent to having a perpetual motion machine that could continuously produce Spiritual Qi!

His future Cultivation speed would once again increase to a shocking level!

However, just as everyone was immersed in the joy of the harvest.

Lin Hao discovered a forgotten ancient Jade Slip in the corner of the white jade platform.

He curiously probed his Divine Sense into it.

The next moment, his expression changed drastically!

"What's wrong? Senior Brother Lin?" Yun Xi keenly noticed his abnormality.

"See for yourselves."

Lin Hao handed the Jade Slip to everyone.

Everyone took turns probing their Divine Sense into it.

Soon, everyone's face revealed a look of extreme gravity.

The Jade Slip recorded two shocking secrets that would shake the entire Cultivation world!

First, this Secret Realm would completely close in three days!

At that time, everyone still remaining in the Secret Realm would be completely torn to pieces by the violent spatial turbulence!

Second, and most importantly!

A large-scale war involving ten thousand races was about to break out, sweeping across the entire great world!

And their Wuxiang Temple had already received a request for help from the border, planning to select a group of the most elite Disciple after this Secret Realm trial ended, to go to the border battlefield, which was like a meat grinder, to provide support!

"War..."

Gao Feng softly spat out these two words.

A trace of complex light flashed in his deep eyes.

He knew that a more chaotic and cruel great era was coming.

And he must possess absolute power sufficient to protect himself, or even become the Dominator of his own destiny, before this huge storm that swept across the world arrived!

When the words "War," heavy as mountains, were branded into everyone's minds from that ancient Jade Slip, the entire tomb chamber fell into a deathly silence.

The joy previously brought by the huge Treasure Trove was instantly replaced by a cold and oppressive gravity.

War of the ten thousand races!

That was not just a minor scuffle between Cultivator.

It was a bloody catastrophe that swept across the entire great world, involving all races and all living beings!

On that cruel battlefield, which was like a meat grinder, even those at the Golden Core Stage, or even the Old Ancestor at the Nascent Soul Stage, could fall at any time!

And they, these small Qi Refinement Stage Cultivator, were even more fragile like ants in the face of such a war.

"Three days... we only have three days left."

Lin Hao's voice carried a hint of dryness, "We must leave here immediately and return to the Sect!"

"That's right!" Shi Lei also nodded heavily. His honest face was filled with unprecedented gravity, "War is coming. We must become stronger!"

Everyone no longer hesitated and immediately began to pack their gear, preparing to evacuate.

Gao Feng carried the heavy vajra sword on his back. The cold touch and the invincible sharp aura gave him an inexplicable sense of security in his heart.

He knew that this sword would become one of his greatest reliance for survival in this coming chaotic world.

"Let's go!"

With Lin Hao's command, everyone turned into streams of light and flew rapidly toward the entrance of the ruins.

However, just as they were about to leave these ancient ruins.

Several figures filled with greed and hostility surrounded them from all directions like sharks that had smelled blood.

"Stop!"

"Hand over everything you obtained in the ruins!"

"Otherwise, die!"

These were several teams of Disciple from other Sect, who, although unable to break the Restriction of the ruins, had been waiting outside to reap the benefits.

At this moment, seeing Lin Hao and the others returning fully loaded, they naturally would not let them go easily.

"A bunch of things that don't know whether to live or die!"

A trace of cold killing intent flashed in Lin Hao's eyes.

If it were normal times, he might still deal with these people for a bit.

But time was tight now, and he had no time to waste with these clowns here!

"Junior Brother Gao Feng!" He shouted in a low voice.

"Understood."

Gao Feng nodded, slowly stepped forward, and drew the heavy vajra sword from his back.

Hum—!

The moment that golden longsword was held in his hand!

A terrifying Sword Intent, domineering and peerless, as if it wanted to split the entire world, burst out!

He poured all his Body Refining Seventh Layer blood and Qi power, as well as the golden Spiritual Qi that had become more condensed and domineering after Cultivating the "Vajra Subduing Demon Art", into the vajra sword in his hand without reservation!

The golden longsword instantly lit up with a dazzling golden halo, like a small sun that no one dared to look at directly!

"Vajra Subduing Demon — Break!"

Gao Feng let out an earth-shattering shout!

He did not use any fancy sword moves, just a simple sword strike, sweeping horizontally forward!

A golden Sword Qi, dozens of feet long, half-moon shaped, and condensed to the extreme, instantly detached from the sword body, carrying a terrifying momentum that cut through everything and destroyed everything, slashing fiercely toward those Cultivator who dared to block the way!

"Not good!"

"Quick, dodge!"

Those Cultivator who were originally arrogant, upon feeling the terrifying Sword Intent that made their Soul tremble, instantly turned pale as paper, let out screams of horror, and wanted to retreat without thinking!

But it was too late!

That golden Sword Qi was simply too fast!

So fast that they couldn't react in time!

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

Sounds like cutting melons!

Blood shot into the sky like a water column!

Those Cultivator blocking at the very front couldn't even let out a scream before they were cut in half by that domineering golden Sword Qi!

Severed limbs flew all over the sky!

The whole scene was bloody to the extreme!

Just one sword strike!

Seven or eight experts at the Qi Refinement Seventh Layer, or even the Eighth Layer, fell on the spot!

The remaining Cultivator, looking at the terrifying scene like a Shura Hell, and the young man holding the golden longsword like a demon god descending, were scared out of their wits. How could they dare to have any thoughts of snatching the treasure?!

They let out screams of terror, scattering like stray dogs, wishing their parents had given them two more legs!

"Let's go!"

With one sword strike, Gao Feng shocked everyone and opened a bloody path to the outside world for everyone!

Lin Hao and the others, suppressing the shock in their hearts, followed closely behind him and rushed out of these ancient ruins without any obstruction.
