Chapter 345: Chapter 321: I Have an Objection
"Phew!"
After finally devouring all the Elixirs, Nie Yun let out a helpless sigh.
Even after consuming so many Elixirs, his Qi Sea was only about eighty percent full, still a fair distance from being completely restored.
’Oh well, I can’t be too greedy. According to my previous calculations, it would have taken a century to refill it completely. To reach eighty percent in a single night is already incredible!’ Shaking his head, Nie Yun stood up.
By now, the sky outside was completely bright. Sunlight streamed into the room, pleasantly warm and exceptionally comfortable.
"Xiaotong, come over here. I’m going to help you increase your strength!"
Last night in the Treasure Vault, Nie Yun had found three gourds of Essence Energy. Although the names Essence Energy and Primordial Essence Spirit Liquid sounded similar, they were two different things.
Essence Energy could increase muscle activity and boost physical strength. Nie Yun had relied on this very substance to cultivate his Spirit Rhinoceros Body Refining Technique to the Third Layer Great Success.
"Brother, you’re going to boost my strength? Awesome!"
Nie Tong walked over with a smile.
After more than a month of careful nurturing from Nie Yun, Nie Tong’s current strength could already rival that of the Potential List Powerhouses. Coupled with the Spiritual Soldier Nie Yun had equipped him with, it was hard to say who would win in a fight even against someone like Huangg Ling.
Advancing in Cultivation grew more difficult with each level. For many, rising from the strength of the Celestial List to that of the Potential List was a lifelong, unattainable goal. Yet his brother had helped him achieve it in just one month without any hidden drawbacks. In his heart, Nie Tong already saw his brother as a Divine Spirit who could grant him promotions. Thus, hearing about another advancement, he came over immediately without the slightest surprise.
"Absorb all of this Essence Energy. I’ll stand guard for you!"
Nie Yun casually tossed out three gourds.
"Alright!" Nie Tong didn’t refuse. He opened a gourd and began absorbing the Spiritual Qi within.
CRACKLE! CRACKLE!
Nearly an hour later, Nie Tong finally finished absorbing all the Primordial Essence Spiritual Qi. His entire body’s muscle activity increased, and his face began to shed its aged appearance, reverting toward that of a young man.
BOOM!
Once his strength had increased, Nie Tong threw a casual punch. With a loud RUMBLE, a hole was blown in the air before him!
"So strong!"
Feeling that his strength had multiplied several times over, Nie Tong was so excited he nearly jumped for joy.
With such power, forget Potential List Powerhouses—it was doubtful if even those old monsters who had failed to break through to the Secret Realm could withstand a single punch from him!
"Alright, let’s go!"
Seeing that it was getting late, Nie Yun chuckled, said goodbye to his parents and the others, and flew toward the Imperial Palace with Nie Tong.
They had just arrived at the Imperial Palace when they saw everyone else gathering one after another.
"Since everyone is here, let’s prepare to depart. We will all be cooperating for the next month or so. To avoid any unfamiliarity, let’s first get to know each other and introduce our respective abilities. That way, we can look out for one another later on!"
Inside the grand hall of the Imperial Palace, Huangg Ling stood up and said with a smile.
Everyone knew that this trip to the Zihua Cave Mansion was both an opportunity and a crisis. Therefore, each Sovereign had brought their nation’s strongest people, many of whom were new faces that even Huangg Ling had never seen before.
"Allow me to introduce my two companions. This is my Demon Pet, the Golden Armored Hong Ape, and this is the expert I’ve invited, Venerable Xintu!"
Huangg Ling introduced the man and beast by his side.
"Heh heh!"
Hearing the introduction, Nie Yun secretly activated his Celestial Eye and swept it over the man and beast, instantly seeing their true identities.
They were none other than Tuxin and the Qi Emperor!
Although he saw through their disguises, Nie Yun didn’t expose them. He just smiled faintly and gave a casual nod as a greeting.
As everyone introduced themselves, Nie Yun also introduced Nie Tong. When everyone learned that this Nie Tong was his younger brother, they all twitched again.
After more than a month of investigation, everyone in the hall knew that this terrifyingly strong young man was actually only seventeen years old. His younger brother was naturally even younger. For a single family to produce one monster was frightening enough; now there were two!
Unbelievable!
Nie Yun also took note of the people the other four Sovereigns had brought. There were several old monsters who had failed their breakthrough to the Secret Realm, as well as a few experts from the Secret Realm Potential List. He had no idea what kind of promises the Sovereigns had made to convince them to come.
One of the old monsters who had failed their breakthrough resembled Qii Yang somewhat. Golden Light glittered in his eyes, and his aura was condensed and stable. With a single glance, Nie Yun knew this was Qii Yang’s grandfather—the very same person who had thrown a punch at him during the fight for the Demon Saint Ancient Corpse.
The man probably still had no idea that his grandson’s killer was standing right in front of him.
Although all the old monsters who had failed their Secret Realm breakthrough had astonishing track records, their strengths varied. This grandfather of Qii Yang, Qii Tao, was definitely among the cream of the crop.
With his proud and aloof bearing, complemented by the constantly flashing Golden Light around his body, even with his own great increase in strength, Nie Yun still felt he would be difficult to fight against.
The man’s true strength was likely no less than that of the Secret Realm Powerhouse, Huangg Chen!
’Celestial Eye X-ray Vision!’
At that thought, Nie Yun secretly activated his Celestial Eye again and scanned him.
The power of his Celestial Eye Observation was related to his soul strength. Since Qii Tao’s soul was not much different from his own, a brief, secret observation probably wouldn’t be detected.
’What dense True Qi. Although it can’t compare to my current self, it’s even stronger than I was before!’
As his Celestial Eye swept over the man’s Qi Sea, Nie Yun was shocked.
Qii Tao’s Qi Sea was incredibly vast, and the density of his True Qi was no less than what Nie Yun himself had possessed when he had ten Dantians.
’I have the Nameless Technique to expand my Qi Sea, making it far wider than others at the same level. For this man to have developed such a vast Qi Sea without a similar Technique is truly terrifying!’
After a single glance, Nie Yun stopped looking to avoid being detected.
Experts had powerful souls and could sense when they were being watched. A quick, secret glance was one thing, but if he stared for too long, he would surely be caught. If his trump card, the Celestial Eye Dantian, was exposed, he would definitely face even greater trouble.
"Alright, now that everyone has been introduced, let’s discuss the matter of treasure distribution!"
After everyone had finished their introductions, Huangg Ling continued, "Currently, there are six powers here that control a Jade Seal: Divine Holy, Divine Cloud, Divine Heaven, Divine Mountain, Divine Rise, and Divine Wind. Celestial Eye Master Moh Wudao was specially invited, and although he doesn’t have a Jade Seal, he will also receive one share. That brings the total to seven parties for the division. This means that after we enter the Zihua Cave Mansion, any treasures we find that come in multiples of seven will be divided equally, with each power receiving one part. I trust no one has any objections to this distribution method!"
"No objections!"
"I have no objections either!"
Everyone else expressed their agreement.
"I have an objection!" Suddenly, Nie Yun chuckled, stepped in front of the crowd, and spoke. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian.com to vote for recommendation and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
