NOVPUBThe battle ended swiftly, and the skies above Wind Clear Mountain Range once again returned to tranquility, leaving only the mountains and forests reduced to flying ashes as proof that a great battle had occurred here.
"Elder Su!"
At this moment, Su Changkong had come back to the gathering point, and Jiang Yao’s face lit up with a smile when he saw Su Changkong returning.
The unexpected appearance of Gu Ming had nearly resulted in Jiang Yao returning fruitlessly, but thankfully, Su Changkong took action and delivered the Blood River Sect’s defeat, making this trip a huge success!
"Let’s head back first."
Su Changkong suggested, not wanting to linger.
"En, let’s return first."
Jiang Yao also nodded in agreement.
Gathering Yu Xing and the others, they cleaned up the battlefield and then took the Heavenly Ship back to Skyfire City, Heavenly Saint Mountain.
Along the way, Jiang Yao communicated with Su Changkong through voice transmission, "Elder Su, we owe this victory against the Blood River Sect to you. Your Primordial Spirit... is truly mystical!"
Jiang Yao was quite astounded by Su Changkong’s current strength; he was just an Entering Saint Warrior with two Divine Seeds, yet he managed to slay a Divine Body warrior from the Blood Jade Hall. This is the power of the Primordial Spirit!
"It’s nothing... I did what I had to do."
Su Changkong shook his head.
Su Changkong had taken action partly to repay the kindness he owed to Jiang Yao and the Jiang Family, and partly because slaying a Divine Body warrior would surely yield significant rewards!
Even though this warrior from Blood Jade Hall was relatively weaker among those with Divine Bodies, surely not as profound as those from great sects like Gu Ming, he was still of the Divine Body Realm and undoubtedly had many treasures on him. These were all things Su Changkong currently needed. Even if he could not use them himself, exchanging them for resources was also good!
"I need to forge my Divine Body quickly... Once I’ve forged my Divine Body, even Gu Ming might not be stronger than me!"
An urgency surged in Jiang Yao’s heart.
Among the Jiang Family, Jiang Yao was considered elite, with an extraordinary background and exceptional talent. However, the extraordinary prodigy Su Changkong, who had emerged from a barren land, put pressure on Jiang Yao, who held pride in his heart and did not believe he was inferior to anyone.
Once he forged his Divine Body, Jiang Yao’s deep cultivation would result in a sudden surge of combat power!
"What kind of holy figure is Lord Su, after all? No wonder the Mountain Master holds him in such high regard!"
Yu Xing and the others couldn’t help but feel shocked; a Divine Seed Saint Warrior like Su Changkong managed to slay someone from the Blood Jade Hall, regardless of the means used, it was truly astounding!
The group returned to Heavenly Saint Mountain discreetly.
"Let’s see what kind of treasures this Blood Jade Hall has!"
Inside Floating Cloud Cave Mansion on Heavenly Saint Mountain, Su Changkong anticipated the treasures of a Divine Body warrior.
On the body of the warrior from Blood Jade Hall, Su Changkong found a jade-colored ring, which was the Storage Treasure of Blood Jade Hall.
He removed it and carefully investigated the treasures stored within.
There were a variety of items inside the storage ring, including Primordial Liquid and various jars and vials, among other miscellaneous objects.
"Is this the Blood River Holy Pill?"
Su Changkong took out a porcelain bottle and gently opened the stopper, releasing a thick scent of blood that wafted out like blood-colored long rivers in motion, inside were pills sculpted out of blood jade.
Su Changkong knew these were the Blood River Holy Pills—over two hundred in total!
More than two hundred Holy Pills, this was undoubtedly a tremendous fortune.
Even though they were less effective than true Holy Pills, the fact that they were simple to produce, made in large quantities by sacrificing human lives, ensured that they were the Blood River Sect’s lifeblood!
"The medicinal power of these Blood River Holy Pills is too mottled, and there’s an odd aura within. Too much consumption is definitely harmful."
After some research, Su Changkong shook his head, knowing that consuming too many would damage one’s foundation. He would never do something that would harm his own foundation, so he stored all these Blood River Holy Pills away.
Besides these, Su Changkong also found the Pill Recipe for the Blood River Holy Pill, which the Yama Hell Sect had decided to accept Blood Jade Hall for its valuable recipe!
"But it’s of no use to me..."
Su Changkong felt helpless; the Blood River Holy Pill recipe was worthless to him. He couldn’t stoop to using the lives of the innocent to produce Blood River Holy Pills.
There were over two thousand taels of Primordial Liquid in the storage ring of Blood Jade Hall—a considerable sum!
"Only this much..."
Nonetheless, Su Changkong was somewhat disappointed. The haul wasn’t small by any means, but for a Divine Body Saint Warrior, it was only average.
Yet, it was also normal. Even though Blood Jade Hall had forged a Divine Body, he was still like a rat crossing the street, not doing so well, so to have saved up this much was already not easy.
"Hm? What is this?"
Suddenly, Su Changkong felt something stir in his heart. He carefully examined the multitude of treasures in the storage ring and soon felt an unusual attraction to one item.
It was an iron piece, palm-sized and irregular.
Su Changkong took it out, his brow furrowing as he examined it closely, "This thing... resembles a page of a book but is already damaged."
The iron piece was black and looked as if it had been shattered, its edges jagged. Made of an unknown material, it was impervious to damage even as Su Changkong applied some force.
On the iron piece, Su Changkong saw tough and fierce lines resembling text. As he concentrated on these lines, his pupils suddenly contracted sharply, and he felt an extreme sense of danger!
"Shh!"
As if they were alive, the lines on the iron piece suddenly moved, turning into countless Divine Weapon blades, crazily slicing and attacking Su Changkong!
