Chapter 1549: Chapter 359_4
Cao Zhen interrupted the Immortal Qianjun with disdain before he could finish, “Become friends with you? You are not worthy! I’m afraid you’ll stab us in the back of our Hundred Peaks Sect someday!”
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly struck a palm down, and in the void, purple lightning fell again.
The Immortal Qianjun had already been severely injured before, and now, facing the attack of the Five-thunder Righteous Method again, he couldn’t even defend against it. He watched helplessly as the purple lightning fell and struck his body.
With a loud bang, his entire being was blasted into powder.
All around, those who had been searching for the majestic energy here looked at the dead Immortal Qianjun and gasped one after another, feeling immensely grateful. Fortunately, they hadn’t acted before; otherwise, since Cao Zhen killed even the Immortal Qianjun of the Firmament Sect, there’s no need to mention what he’d do to them!
They had also heard before that Cao Zhen was extremely domineering, and now they finally knew to what extent Cao Zhen’s dominance was.
No matter who it was, even from a Great Teaching, if they wanted to seize people from the Hundred Peaks Sect, Cao Zhen would directly seize them completely.
And those who acted, he would directly kill!
He seemed not to fear offending these Great Teachings at all!
“Senior Brother!”
The five Earth Immortal level cultivators from the Firmament Sect, who had already taken to the skies, looked on as those who were blasted to powder, even gathering the remains being difficult, and their eyes were bloodshot with rage.
Cao Zhen didn’t even glance at these people but instead turned his head to look at Ru Wenlin and the others.
Before he could speak, Ru Wenlin controlled the majestic energy with immortal energy and let it fall in front of him, saying, “Sect Leader, you should keep this majestic energy.”
“Oh?” Cao Zhen was slightly surprised, looking at Ru Wenlin as he asked, “Why let me keep it? Are you not planning to continue with me?”
“Yes, it is better for us to walk our path alone.” Ru Wenlin gently nodded, saying, “We also want to train ourselves outside; we can’t always rely on you, the Sect Leader.”
Before entering the Fourth Dangerous Terrain, they had all agreed on this, not just themselves, but all the Earth Immortal level cultivators of the Hundred Peaks Sect felt the same way.
They couldn’t always rely on the Four Treasures Peak and Cao Zhen.
Just like now, although following Cao Zhen made them much safer, what kind of training could they actually gain?
Moreover, with Cao Zhen by their side, he had to be distracted to protect them, and sometimes, because of concern for their safety, Cao Zhen didn’t dare to venture or fight for treasures. Then how could Cao Zhen seek his own fortuitous encounters?
So even after meeting Cao Zhen, they planned to part ways with him.
“Alright, since you wish to go on your own, I won’t stop you. But I’ll wait until all your injuries are healed before you leave.” Cao Zhen nodded slightly and then looked at the distant crowd, loudly proclaiming, “Now, the majestic energy is with me. You can spread the word; anyone who wants to snatch the majestic energy can come find me.”
The majestic energy could be absorbed and cultivated by Earth Immortal level Scholar Cultivators.
But after absorption, one would need to retreat for an unknown duration, and this perilous place was not suitable for retreating to cultivate majestic energy. Who knew if they would be discovered while cultivating? If interrupted during cultivation, it was very easy to go astray.
That is why Ru Wenlin handed the majestic energy to Cao Zhen, knowing that if he needed to cultivate, he would also have to wait until returning to the Hundred Peaks Sect to do so.
Hearing Cao Zhen’s words, no one around dared to speak a word.
Given Cao Zhen’s strength, even if they spread the word that Cao Zhen had the majestic energy, there likely wouldn’t be anyone who would risk bothering him.
Unless the Bleeding Tears Assassin was also in this Fourth Dangerous Terrain and happened to enter the same passage as them!
Following Cao Zhen’s actions, killing the Immortal Qianjun, news quickly spread about Cao Zhen appearing in the Fourth Dangerous Terrain and his terrifying power.
Cao Zhen stayed with Ru Wenlin and others for three days.
During these three days, he also studied a few of the people he recently connected with.
Especially, the Daoist Lu Ya.
He was someone Cao Zhen had specifically connected with. In theory, he should have been able to directly use Lu Ya’s experience; whatever level Lu Ya’s spells reached, Cao Zhen’s should have reached too.
But he found this was not the case.
The Daoist Lu Ya he chose to connect with behaved just like a randomly connected supporter.
Thinking about it for a long time, he felt it was likely because the Daoist Lu Ya was not in this world. For those in this world, he could directly use the other’s cultivation experiences, winning by virtue of their experiences. But because Lu Ya was not in this world, he couldn’t win by virtue of Lu Ya.
Anyway, this designated user and a random user had no difference.
As for his other randomly connected user, that Immortal Ruo Yun, she most likely was from within their world because this Immortal Ruo Yun and designated supporters shared many similarities. He discovered he could actually communicate with Immortal Ruo Yun, although he hadn’t connected to communicate through the China Cloud yet.
Moreover, Immortal Ruo Yun provided him with extra experiences, and the spells she cultivated allowed him to benefit without effort as well.
The only difference was that Immortal Ruo Yun’s Talisman Levels and Alchemy Levels did not allow him to benefit without effort.
