34: Chapter 34 Is this still the barren Southern Region?

Shen Yuanshan was stunned, and then his eyes also lit up.

Right!

Little Nine!

Although that kid is lazy all day long and looks like a dissolute playboy who doesn't attend to proper business, he has quite a few tricks up his sleeve.

Maybe... Little Nine can really see what problem has arisen with Shen Chong!

"Go!" Shen Yuanshan rushed out and grabbed Shen Chong. "Go, come with us to a place!"

Shen Chong raised his head blankly; before he had time to ask where they were going, he was dragged away by Shen Yuanshan.

The three of them walked through the Shen Mansion and headed quickly towards Wutong Garden.

Shen Chong was sandwiched between the two Elders, feeling both apprehensive and bewildered.

He did not know where the Third Elder and Sixth Elder were taking him, but judging by their urgent expressions, it seemed... they had found some solution?

He did not dare to ask, nor did he dare to harbor too much hope.

Over the past year, he had fallen from the clouds to the bottom of the valley, experiencing too much hope and disappointment.

Soon, the three of them arrived in front of Wutong Garden.

The courtyard gate was ajar, and it was quiet inside, with only the rustling sound of the wind blowing through the Wutong leaves.

"Little Nine, we are here!" Shen Yuanshan shouted loudly as he walked in.

He reached out and pushed, and the gate opened in response.

The next moment—

A rush of Spiritual Qi, so thick it almost condensed into substance, hit them in the face!

Although Shen Yuanshan and Shen Yuanhe had been to Wutong Garden more than once, every time they stepped in here, they were still shocked by this astonishing concentration of Spiritual Qi.

And Shen Chong—

He was completely stunned.

He widened his eyes, his mouth slightly agape, and his face was full of disbelief.

This... Is this still the Shen Family?!

How could the Spiritual Qi be so dense?!

He took a deep breath, and that cool energy surged into his body through his nasal cavity, circulated through his Meridians, and his entire being felt invigorated!

It was as if parched seedlings had encountered sweet rain; every pore on his body was cheering!

Even—

He could even feel that the Spiritual Qi constantly flowing out of his body had actually stopped dissipating at this moment!

No, it had not just stopped dissipating...

It was growing!

Although the growth rate was extremely slow, it was indeed growing!

Shen Chong trembled all over, and his eyes instantly turned red.

It had been over a year.

He Cultivated every day, desperate to hold onto the Spiritual Qi in his body, but that Spiritual Qi was like quicksand between his fingers, impossible to grasp.

But now, he was just standing here, having done nothing, and his cultivation had actually started to grow?!

"This... This..."

Shen Chong's lips trembled, his voice was shaking, and he was too excited to speak.

And the changes within his body were far more violent than what he had felt.

Deep in his Dantian.

That illusory Saint remnant soul suddenly opened its eyes!

"What is going on?!"

The old man's voice carried a hint of shock and suspicion.

He had just been sleeping, and suddenly, a massive wave of Spiritual Qi surged into this body like a tide!

The richness and purity of that Spiritual Qi far exceeded what he had devoured before!

Even—it was higher than the concentration of Spiritual Qi when he Cultivated in the Holy Land of the Central Plains during his prime!

"Could it be that this kid's Treasure Body has been discovered by someone?"

The old man's face changed drastically, and he extended his Divine Thought to find out what was happening.

The next moment—

His Divine Thought penetrated Shen Chong's body and probed into the outside world.

The scene of Wutong Garden was reflected in his perception.

The golden wutong treasure tree, the Spiritual Qi so dense it was almost condensed into substance, the faint fragrance permeating the air, and that fragrance contained some profound Dao charm that even his remnant soul felt a sense of comfort.

"This is... wutong treasure tree?!"

The old man's pupils shrank, his face full of disbelief.

He had lived for over two thousand years and had seen countless Heaven And Earth Treasure, but a divine object of the wutong treasure tree level was extremely rare, even in the Central Plains!

Not to mention that the aura emitted by this wutong treasure tree was more ancient and powerful than any he had ever seen!

"No... This place..."

The old man's Divine Thought continued to expand, wanting to explore more.

However—

His Divine Thought had just touched the edge of Wutong Garden when it slammed into an invisible barrier!

That barrier was as vast as the sky and as solid as imperial gold; his Divine Thought slammed into it and didn't move an inch!

Even—

There were some profound runes faintly circulating on the barrier, emitting an aura that made him palpitate!

"Formation?!"

The old man gasped.

With his knowledge at the Saint Realm, he could not see through the depth of this Formation at all!

The trajectory of the runes and the laws of the Spiritual Qi operation were more exquisite and profound than any Formation he had ever seen!

"What on earth is this place?!"

A strong sense of unease welled up in the old man's heart.

He had been hiding in this boy's Dantian for over a year, so he naturally knew Shen Chong's identity.

Shen Chong was a disciple of the Shen Family in Guangnan City.

And the Shen Family was just a small Family in the Southern Region, with the strongest only at the Primal Chaos Realm, not worth mentioning at all.

But what was going on with the scene before him?

Was he still in that barren Southern Region?

Just then, the old man was shocked, "What is going on? Why do I feel like someone is watching this Saint?"

That feeling of being stared at made him feel uncomfortable all over.

"No... This is not right..."

He muttered to himself, and his Divine Thought probed out again, cautiously extending towards the source of that gaze.

Under the Wutong tree, there was a soft couch.

A young man was lying lazily on it, his hands behind his head, his expression languid.

But those eyes seemed to pierce through heavy Restrictions, cross layers of obstacles, and land straight on him.

Their eyes met.

The old man's remnant soul stiffened, and his pupils shrank!

How is that possible?!

He had been hiding in this boy's Dantian for over a year and had never been discovered by anyone!

Even those two Primal Chaos Realm Elders of the Shen Family had used the Dongyou Cheming Technique to probe three times and failed to discover his existence!

But this young man—

Hmm? Sixth level of the Meridian Opening Realm?

"It must be an illusion!"

How could an ant at the Meridian Opening Realm discover him?

That look just now was probably just a coincidence.

The old man soon calmed down.

He was a remnant soul of the Saint King Realm!

Even though his strength was less than one percent now, and he was only a remnant soul lingering on, the essence of his Divine Soul was still at the Saint King level.

In a backwater like the Southern Region, there were not even many Saints, let alone any strong person who could discover his existence.

"It was all an illusion."

The old man muttered to himself, closed his eyes again, and continued to devour the massive amount of Spiritual Qi that had suddenly surged into Shen Chong's body.

This Spiritual Qi was too pure, even purer than what he had absorbed when he Cultivated in the Holy Land of the Central Plains.

If he could devour more, his soul body's recovery speed would be at least three times faster!

Once he recovered, he would seize this kid's Treasure Body.

It wouldn't take many years before he could return to his Peak!

"If I could seize this treasure land..."

A greed suddenly arose in the old man's heart.

"Heh—"

"So it was a remnant soul!"

Just then, the young man's voice reached the old man's ears.
