Chapter 486: Stealing a Treasure
Unfortunately, when the creature died, the feeling suddenly disappeared.
"What was that?" Yu Nianzhen couldn’t help but wonder.
His eyebrows creased in thought, but no matter what, he couldn’t figure it out.
’At least the demonic plants have returned to their passive state.’ He thought and sighed.
Soon after, he left the area and continued walking towards the core of the jungle.
Outside the gourd, Zhang An did not look good.
Although the plants and beasts gourd was powerful, it consumed a lot of qi.
In ancient times, the gourd was usually placed on the eye of a spiritual vein to facilitate training.
Since he had no spiritual vein, Zhang An could only supplement using his qi and reincarnation stones.
Fortunately, captives rarely survived long enough to exhaust his reserves.
"Since he has already begun fighting, it’s only a matter of time before he dies." Zhang An muttered and took out a pile of reincarnation stones from his storage ring.
Seeing this, the spectators immediately reacted.
"Is something happening in the gourd?" Someone asked, his voice laced with excitement.
"Something should be happening. If not, why did fellow Daoist Zhang take out a pile of reincarnation stones?"
"I also think so. Mountain master Yu is resisting."
"As expected of mountain master Yu. After defeating so many opponents, how can he capsize at this stage? This match also belongs to him." A male cultivator spoke with a fanatical look in his eyes.
"At the same level, mountain master Yu is invincible." Another said.
Over the years, Yu Nianzhen had gained a fanatical following.
For these fans, Yu Nianzhen was the most powerful, and no one could defeat him.
When others said otherwise, these fans would rise up in revolt and teach the dissidents a terrible lesson.
After several incidents, the more rational cultivators no longer dared to say anything.
In this way, seven days passed.
During the seven days, Zhang An consumed millions of reincarnation stones, and his expression turned from bad to worse.
His face was pale, his eyes were red, and his lazy temperament was heavily stained with murderous intent.
"Why is he still alive?" Zhang An spoke through gritted teeth.
Logically, Yu Nianzhen should have already exhausted himself and died in the gourd world.
However, things went beyond Zhang An’s expectations.
Not only was the mountain master alive, but Zhang An could feel that the man seemed to be doing something detrimental to him.
Thinking of this, his heart skipped a beat.
’I should take him out.’ Zhang An decided.
However, before he released the person from the gourd, Zhang An had to replenish his strength.
After all, even exhausted, mountain master Yu was a powerful opponent.
If Zhang An faced him without making preparations, he would likely suffer a loss.
After deciding, he diverted most of the reincarnation stones from the gourd and absorbed them to replenish his qi.
Ten hours later, his qi reserves returned to half, and Zhang An felt confident.
After exhaling a turbid breath, he prepared to release the person from the gourd.
However, before he could do anything, the gourd began to shake.
"This...., what is going on?" He asked with a frown on his face.
At the same time, the spectators and Jiang Yue saw the shaking.
"Azhen, are you finally going to make your move?" Jiang Yue muttered with a relieved look in his eyes.
Although he knew his lover was alive, his heart was never at ease.
After all, he didn’t know what Yu Nianzhen was experiencing in the gourd.
When he saw the shaking gourd, he knew the swordsman would soon return to a place where Jiang Yue could see him.
"Azhen, I am waiting for you." He said and sat cross-legged with his eyes on the main stage.
"Cangxing mountain master, don’t go too far." Zhang An suddenly roared with a desperate look in his eyes.
Unfortunately, everything was too late.
When Yu Nianzhen fought the rabbit creature, he had a strange feeling in his heart.
At that time, he didn’t know what the feeling was.
However, the more he fought, the clearer the feeling became.
The first thing he discovered was that he only had the feeling when he used space-related attacks.
After that, Yu Nianzhen stopped using other attacks and only used his space-related intent.
Soon after, he realised his space attack intent was resonating with something in the small world.
Knowing this, Yu Nianzhen saw a light at the end of the tunnel.
Although his qi and sword intent were running low, he did not back down.
He fought all the monsters he couldn’t avoid and continued to make his way to the core of the small world.
However, his qi was only so much, and the beasts were inexhaustible.
When he was at the end of his rope, Yu Nianzhen released his sword world, and that’s when everything changed.
Unexpectedly, his sword world was not restrained by the rules of the gourd world!
After figuring it out, Yu Nianzhen entered his sword world to heal, and replenish his qi and sword intent.
Most importantly, he could bring the creatures into the sword world to deal with them.
Since then, Yu Nianzhen was no longer so desperate and restrained.
He fought his way through the jungle and eventually reached the core of the small world.
As it turned out, the core of the small world was a space embryo that had already cultivated a spirit.
Seeing the space spirit, Yu Nianzhen had a sudden idea and didn’t hesitate.
In the following days, he fought the space spirit and refined it into his sword world.
After he refined the space spirit, the gourd world began to merge with his sword world, which caused the gourd to shake vigorously.
"Cangxing mountain master." Zhang An continued to shout and tried to drag Yu Nianzhen out of the gourd world.
However, half the gourd world had already merged with Yu Nianzhen’s sword world.
In the current situation, Zhang An no longer had the authority to control the gourd world.
"How could this happen?" He asked with a confused look on his face.
After all, the plants and beasts gourd was an ancient treasure.
When he found it, he was at the third level of the reincarnation realm, and it took more than a year to refine the treasure.
"Why can he refine it in a matter of days?" Zhang An screamed.
The gourd was his trump card.
Without it, treasure hunting would become difficult, and he may not retain his place in the team.
Considering this, Zhang An was filled with fear and anger.
In desperation, he activated his fan and began to attack the gourd.
"Die for me." He screamed.
"Fire wind blade."
"Dragon’s breath."
"Seven turn wind fire dance."
He used attack after attack.
However, none of his attacks left a mark on the gourd.
Soon after, he felt something disappear in his chest, and he spat a mouthful of blood.
"The contract is gone." He muttered, and his eyes turned dim.
Simultaneously, Yu Nianzhen appeared on the stage with a gourd in his hand.
"Give it back to me." Zhang An said crazily, but Yu Nianzhen sneered and didn’t answer.
Although he had yet to complete the refining, the gourd world was already part of his sword world.
In that case, what reason did he have to spit out something that was already his?
"Does the fellow Daoist admit defeat?" Yu Nianzhen asked.
When Zhang An heard the question, a dangerous light flashed in his eyes.
However, he quickly suppressed his anger and took a deep breath.
"The Cangxing mountain master is good." The man said with a lazy smile on his lips.
A moment later, he jumped out of the stage, but Yu Nianzhen knew the matter was not over.
After all, the gourd world was a priceless treasure.
No matter who, it was impossible to accept such a loss.
However, Yu Nianzhen was not worried.
When he initiated the event, he was prepared to make a lot of enemies.
Although he couldn’t defeat Zhang An outside the martial stage, the Reincarnation world was big.
Maybe when they met again, Yu Nianzhen would have no reason to be afraid of him.
[Azhen, is it okay to refine that gourd world? Will it affect your sword world?] A concerned voice suddenly sounded in his head.
[Don’t worry. Absorbing the gourd world will only make my sword world more complete.] Yu Nianzhen assured his lover.
[...but that gourd seems to need a lot of qi and reincarnation stones to maintain.] Jiang Yue was still worried.
[I don’t intend to absorb every aspect of the gourd world. I have a plan.]
[Good.] Jiang Yue said and smiled.
Now that Yu Nianzhen was out of the gourd, Jiang Yue’s mood was a lot better.
However, he couldn’t forget the look on Zhang An’s face before the man left the martial stage.
[That Zhang An will be a problem.] He said.
[I know.] Yu Nianzhen nodded, but the two didn’t dwell on the matter.
