Chapter 338: About the Treasure Land
After a moment, Jiang Yue and Yu Nianzhen suppressed the discomfort in their hearts and forgot about Wang Hui.
From their perspective, Wang Hui made bad choices and ended up in a bad situation.
The impact on them was a flash in the pan and didn’t deserve more attention.
"XiaoYue, can you speed up?"
[Originally, Bei Chengling and I could arrange the formation in two days but said three days. We are almost done.]
[That was smart of you.] Yu Nianzhen said and rubbed his husband’s hair.
When Jiang Yue heard the praise, he blushed and chuckle lightly.
"Are you to tempt me?"
"What tempting?" Jiang Yue said and rolled his eyes.
After that, he focused on the formation while Yu Nianzhen dealt with the enemies that came to them.
In this way, three hours passed and Jiang Yue heaved a sigh of relief.
’Finally done.’ He thought and looked at Bei Chngling.
The two smiled and nodded before Jiang Yue activated the formation.
A moment later, a transparent barrier appeared around the origin purifying fruit tree.
"Is it done?" Yu Nianzhen asked.
"It is." Jiang Yue smiled.
The barrier they arranged was an ancient defence formation.
Without a unique jade token, it was impossible to enter unless one had an innate ability to ignore formations.
"Azhen, let’s go to help the others."
"You have been arranging the formation for several days and haven’t had a chance to rest. You should rest."
At that, Jiang Yue looked around and shook his head solemnly.
"I am not tired. I can rest when the situation calms down." He said.
"XiaoYue..." Yu Nianzhen started but Jiang Yue didn’t let him finish.
"I won’t push myself. If I can’t hold on, I will immediately withdraw from the battlefield."
"Good."
After that, the two found some members of the Death Flower Ascension Front and began fighting.
In this way, time passed and the fight didn’t end until five days later.
Fortunately, the orthodox side had more cultivators and the Death Flower Ascension Front was eventually defeated.
However, some of the key leaders of the Front, including Shen Ru managed to escape.
"It’s too bad." Jiang Yue lamented.
"There will be a time in the future." Li Futian said and frowned.
"Brother Li, is there something?" Xuan Ke asked.
"I will talk about it later. What about your merit points?" He asked instead.
"I almost forgot about that." Jiang Yue said excitedly and immediately sunk into his consciousness.
The others also did the same and the area turned silent for a moment.
A moment later, Xuan Ke was the first to rouse and had an excited expression on his face.
"I have forty-three points." He said when the others regained themselves.
"I have fifty-nine points." Jiang Yue said and looked at Yu Nianzhen.
"I have fifty-seven."
"Azhen, did I defeat you?"
When Yu Nianzhen heard that, his eyes turned soft and a doting smile curled his lips.
"XiaoYue is amazing."
"Don’t worry. I will still like you even if you are not as great as me." Jiang Yue said proudly.
"I am relieved to hear that."
"Stop it right now." Xuan Ke shouted and the others tried to suppress their smiles.
"I only asked about your points. Why did you digress so much?" He sneered and looked at the two in disgust.
"I also have forty-three points." Bing Lan jumped in to round the scene.
"I have sixty-three." Yang Xu said and everyone turned to Li Futian.
"Seventy-nine." Li Futian said and everyone looked at him in shock.
"Brother Li, are you so amazing?" Xuan Ke asked the question that was on everyone’s mind.
Rather than answer, Li Futian chuckled and changed the subject.
"We still have a long way to go if we want to eliminate all the Death Flower Ascension Front in the Nine Treasures secret realm." He said and then hesitated a little.
"What’s the matter?" Jiang Yue asked.
"Senior Yang, senior Bing, brothers, if you trust me, you will do your best to earn merit points."
"We plan to do so." Xuan Ke said and everyone nodded.
It was rare to get a chance to earn merit points.
Let alone them, every orthodox cultivator in the Cangxing world was planning to kill as many members of the Death Flower Ascension Front as they could.
"Do you remember the treasure map we previously fought over?" Li Futian asked and the others looked at him in surprise.
Without waiting for them to ask, Li Futian continued.
"The treasure land will appear within one hundred years of us leaving the Nine Treasures secret realm. Before then, I hope you can fulfil two conditions."
"What are they?" Jiang Yue asked curiously.
"The first condition is the nascent soul realm. Before the treasure land appears, all of us must be in the nascent soul realm."
"Junior Li, can only nascent soul realm cultivators enter the treasure land?" Bing Lan asked.
"My master divined it that way. Only nascent soul realm cultivators will be able to enter. Also..." Li Futian started but frowned.
"Also?" Xuan Ke urged.
"According to my master, all nascent soul realm cultivators must enter. No one can avoid it."
When the others heard that, their eyes flew wide open.
No matter which, there was no secret realm in the Cangxing world that forced others to enter.
"The treasure land is not simple." Jiang Yue muttered and the others nodded.
"How long will it be open?" Yang Xu asked.
"I am not sure about this. My master was also not sure. He only said that it wouldn’t be less than a thousand years."
"A thousand years is a long time even for a nascent soul realm cultivator." Xuan Ke stated.
"What about the second condition?" Yu Nianzhen suddenly asked.
"The second condition is about merit points. I don’t know the reason but I have a feeling that ten thousand points is a critical number."
"Ten thousand points..." Jiang Yue muttered and shuddered.
If he killed one-point members of the Death Flower Ascension Front, he would have to kill ten thousand of them.
This was not a small number and the thought of it chilled him to the bone.
"If you don’t have ten thousand points, you can still enter the treasure land. However, I always feel that having ten thousand points will bring unprecedented benefits."
"It’s good to have a goal in mind." Yang Xu started and continued when he heard everyone’s attention.
"Let’s do our best for that goal. If we don’t achieve it, it only means we don’t have a fate with the opportunity in the treasure land."
"Master is right. Fortunately, the hunting of the Death Flower Ascension Front is condoned by the heavens. Otherwise, we would all breed heart demons from killing too much." Jiang Yue said.
"Still, we should take precautions. We harvested a lot of clear-heart fruits. Don’t forget to refine them every once in a while." Bing Lan advised.
After that, everyone sunk into their thoughts until Xuan Ke broke the silence.
"It’s not easy to break through to the nascent soul realm in less than two hundred years." He said and sighed.
"Two hundred years is an optimistic estimate. We don’t know when exactly the treasure land will appear." Yu Nianzhen said and some urgency appeared in his heart.
He didn’t know why but he felt it was extremely important for him to enter the treasure land.
Just when he was trying to figure it out, he received a soul transmission from Jiang Yue.
[Azhen, I don’t know why but I feel that I must enter that treasure land.]
[I also feel the same.] Yu Nianzhen said and frowned.
He involuntarily recalled the matter of their transmigration.
For some reason, Yu Nianzhen felt that failing to enter the treasure land would result in the failure of their purpose of coming to the Cangxing world.
[XiaoYue, although there is some urgency, let’s cultivate steadily. When we refine the origin purifying fruits, our aptitude and cultivation speed will improve. It may not be impossible to break through to the core formation realm before we leave the Nine Treasures secret realm.]
[Okay.] Jiang Yue said and nodded.
While the two were speaking to each other, Li Futian was looking at them.
His eyes were solemn and the depths were filled with countless mysteries.
Although he didn’t show it on his face, his mind went back to when his master was alive.
For all his life, his master was dedicated to unravelling the mysteries of heaven.
Maybe because of his dedication or because he only thought of benefitting the Cangxing world, the heavens favoured him.
Long before Li Futian met Yu Nianzhen and Jiang Yue, his master had already told him about them.
He never made anything clear but he always said that the two should never be allowed to fall.
When he knew his death was approaching, his master didn’t forget to remind Li Futian about Jiang Yue and Yu Nianzhen.
Among everything his master said, the most important was to let them enter the treasure land.
