Jianchen, Zhou Chuyun, and the others strolled through the divine realm aimlessly. They had no plans of leaving.
"Esteemed senior Yang Yutian, you've already obtained the divine water of the world in the divine realm. A second portion shouldn't appear anytime soon," Zhou Chuyun said from behind Yang Chen. He had already ingested the Class 6 Radiant Divine Hall that Jianchen had given him, so most of his injuries from the shockwaves of the battle had already healed. He was fine now.
After a moment of thought, Jianchen took out a small portion of the divine water and gave it to Zhou Chuyun and Liu Jun. He also took out a few 15th Star thunderstones and said, "I don't want to leave anytime soon. Your lives will be in danger if you follow me in the depths of the divine realm. You should leave first."
"Senior Yang Yutian, we can't accept that. We've followed senior Yang Yutian all the way here, and we've already obtained extremely great benefits along the way. How can we accept senior Yang Yutian's things?" Zhou Chuyun and Liu Jun were flattered. They did not dare to accept Jian Chen's things.
"Take it. If it weren't for you leading the way, I wouldn't have been able to find this divine water of the world. Moreover, I did say before that I would share some with you." Jianchen forcefully shoved a small portion of the divine water and a few 15th Star thunderstones into their hands before bidding farewell to them. The divine water of the world he had obtained was nowhere near enough. It was probably only enough for Honglian to recover her strength. There were also several dozen elites of the Flame Mercenaries waiting for his divine water to transform, increase their potential, and refine their souls so that they could reach Saint Ruler.
As a result, Jianchen needed to find even more divine water of the world.
Zhou Chuyun, Liu Jun, and the Heaven Saint Masters of the Blue Sky Adventurers parted with Jianchen reluctantly and set off on their way back. During the days they spent with Jianchen, they had experienced the unprecedented joy of roaming the divine realm. It filled them with nostalgia and passion. However, they also knew that this feeling would not last forever because their relationship with Jianchen was not particularly deep. It was just a form of cooperation.
"Senior Yang Yutian, I, Zhou Lin, will remember you for the rest of my life." Before leaving, Zhou Chuyun's daughter, Zhou Lin, looked at Jianchen with both admiration and respect. Her eyes were filled with reluctance.
Jianchen watched Zhou Chuyun and the others leave. He had only silently helped Zhou Chuyun so much because they were both humans.
In this foreign land, Jianchen seemed to see his past self when he encountered people of the same race who were struggling to increase their strength.
Jianchen dismissed his thoughts and suddenly said, "The four of you have secretly followed me for so long. It's time for you to appear."
With that, four old men silently emerged from the forest behind Jianchen. They did not cause any disturbances at all, just like ghosts.
Jianchen turned around and looked at the four of them calmly. He coldly asked, "Why are you following me?"
The four old men said nothing. They calmly stared at Jianchen. A while later, one of them said, "Sir, you seem to have only come to the divine realm for the divine water of the world?"
"So what if I have?" Jianchen was emotionless.
"Sir, if you want to obtain even more divine water of the world, we might be able to work together," the old man continued.
"Work together? Do you know where the rest of the divine water of the world is? "A gleam of light flashed through Jianchen's eyes as he immediately became interested.
"We don't know where the rest of the divine water of the world is, but we do know where it originates," said the old man.
"What? Where it originates?" Jian Chen was surprised. He was no longer able to maintain his composure. He said, "Tell me what the place of origin of the divine water of the world looks like."
"Many years ago, we ventured into the depths of the divine realm. From afar, we saw a lake that gave off a seven-colored, auspicious light. The divine water of the world constantly sprayed out from the center of the lake, but most of it fell into the lake. Only a tiny portion floated out of the lake before drifting aimlessly through the divine realm," said the old man. He did not reveal the location of the place at all.
"A lake that gives off a seven-colored, auspicious light. I- is this the spirit sea?" Jianchen was greatly shocked. He was unable to remain calm. According to what the old man had said, it was extremely likely that this place was the spirit sea that produced the divine water of the world. Once they found the spirit sea, they would not have to worry about the divine water of the world at all.
"I can work with you. What do you want?" Jianchen agreed without any hesitation. This information was just too tempting for him.
"We don't have any requests. We just want to travel together. The place where the divine water originates is protected by a powerful formation. It's very difficult for the four of us to break through it, so we need help. Once we break through the formation, you can take your divine water of the world, and I'll take what we need," said the old man.
Jianchen pondered for a moment. He stared at the four of them with shining eyes and gently smiled, "I think the things you need must be very valuable."
"They are indeed valuable to us, but they're just a bunch of useless trash to sir." As he spoke, an iron sword appeared in the old man's hand. He said, "This is the weapon used by the four of us. It is not condensed from energy. Instead, it is forged from meteoric iron. It took us several years to forge. What we want to obtain is the material for practicing the sword, to make this iron sword stronger."
Jianchen stared at the metal sword closely. After staying in this world for so long, all the weapons he had seen used by experts were condensed from energy. Even Emperor Armaments were condensed from energy, yet the four old men actually used metal swords. They clearly did not fit in with the weapons of this world.
"It's a very extraordinary metal sword. I can actually sense the souls of quite a few living beings in there," praised Jian Chen. The four old men before him were not simple at all. They walked an unusual path of cultivation, which could be seen from the weapons they used.
Jianchen successfully walked with the four old men. Although he was very curious about their cultivation method, he did not pry. Every single person had their own secrets.
The four old men led the way, bringing Jianchen to the place where the divine water of the world originated. After some small talk, Jianchen learned their names. They were very strange names, A 'Da, A' Er, A 'San, and A' Si. Those were their real names.
Jianchen also learned that the four of them were actually brothers, born from the same father and mother.
The three middle-aged men Jian Chen had killed in the cave a few days ago did not have any ties with A 'Da and the others. They were only followers he had encountered in the divine realm. They had just met by chance.
Jianchen did not talk too deeply with the four of them. The four of them had always been taciturn and did not talk much. They always maintained a cold expression.
Roar!
Suddenly, a deafening roar rang out in the distance. The ground began to tremble as a hundred-meter-tall divine ape furiously rushed toward Jianchen with a huge axe on its shoulder.
Jianchen's expression changed slightly, "He's coming for me. I never thought he'd be able to find me. Let's go." With that, Jianchen and the four of them quickly left. They all pushed their speed to the limit and left the giant ape far behind very soon.
"This divine ape is one of the most powerful existences in the depths of the divine realm. He's reached the peak of the 16th Star and is extremely terrifying. Fortunately, speed is his weakness, or we'll be in deep trouble," A 'Da said in a deep voice. Ah Da said in a deep voice. There was deep fear in his eyes. He knew a lot about the situation in God's Domain.
However, the ground rumbled again soon after. The giant ape had actually chased after them again.
The four of them and Jianchen had no choice but to run again, leaving the giant ape far behind.
This time, they only stopped after running over a hundred kilometers. A 'Si could not help but ask, "Yang Yutian, how did you provoke this divine ape? Why is he so concerned about you and unwilling to let you go?" The four of them all looked at Jianchen. They felt extremely wronged. They had done nothing at all, yet they were actually suffering with Jianchen, being chased by a terrifying ape.
"I took their child away when we were fighting for the divine water of the world earlier. Their child must have returned to their side by now. I never thought that the giant ape would be so vengeful, still thinking about me," Jianchen said.
The four of them looked at each other. They could not help but admire Jianchen's boldness for daring to take their child away right before them.
A 'San took out a bag of powder from his Space Ring and said, "This is bone powder ground from the bones of vicious beasts in the divine realm. Sprinkle it on yourself and it'll cover your scent, making the giant ape lose its sense of smell."
Jianchen accepted the bone powder doubtfully and quickly checked it. Only after confirming that there was nothing wrong with it did he gently sprinkle some on himself.
He had to admit that A 'San's bone powder was extremely effective. After Jianchen sprinkled the bone powder on himself, the giant ape really did not chase after him anymore.
"These vicious beasts have a very sensitive sense of smell. The bone powder can only cover our scent temporarily, but it can't make us completely disappear from their sight. The journey ahead is rather long, so let's keep our presence concealed and not disturb the vicious beasts. Very few people come to the depths of the divine realm to clear out the vicious beasts. As time goes on, many extremely powerful existences will naturally appear. They're very difficult to deal with," A 'Da said as he carefully made his way to the very depths with Jianchen.
The four of them clearly frequented the depths of the divine realm often, so they understood the place extremely well. Not only could they infer what powerful vicious beasts would appear here from the traces left behind on the ground, but they could even infer what powerful species lived nearby from the terrain and environment, which saved them a lot of trouble.
There was even one time when Jianchen's group entered the territory of the Soaring Ants, but A 'Da and the others were able to see through something in advance. They retreated early to avoid the danger of being surrounded by the Soaring Ants.
Even Jianchen was impressed by A 'Da and the others' rich experience. He even suspected that the four of them were born in the divine realm because they knew this place far too well. They were basically capable of finding opportunities and avoiding dangers.
