Mo Cheng turned a deaf ear to the exclamations that came from all around him. Even the various envious and worshipful gazes were ignored by him. His heart was calm and composed, and was as firm as a rock. He was completely unaffected by the outside world.
This was not because of his mental fortitude or cultivation. Instead, he had already become accustomed to being the center of attention no matter where he went.
Mo Cheng stared at Yun Daolai coldly and said coldly, "Although I don't need the Spiritual Root of Heavenly Ways, the people around me do."
Yun Daolai's face was vicious as he stared at Mo Cheng resentfully. He roared out reluctantly, "In order to obtain the Spiritual Root of Heavenly Ways, we've paid an extremely heavy price. Six out of the sixteen Divine King in the clan have died. Have they died for nothing?"
Mo Cheng's face did not change at all. He said coldly, "The strong prey on the weak. This has always been the law of survival in this world. Although you discovered the Spiritual Root of Heavenly Ways first, you don't have the strength to protect it at all. As a result, you can only pave the way for others. You might even end up as food. "
"And I'm more powerful than you. Whether I want you to become food or not is up to me."
Mo Cheng acted like he was above everyone else. He did not take Yun Daolai seriously at all.
However, he did indeed possess the right to do so now. With his strength, even if Yun Daolai was at his peak, he would not take him seriously.
This was because he, Mo Cheng, was the supreme Overgod who ranked first on the Overgods' Plaque. His battle prowess was unrivalled, and there was no Overgod who could stand up to him.
"Considering how you've lost so many people in order to obtain the Spiritual Root of Heavenly Ways, I can spare your life if you hand it over. Otherwise, die!" When he spat out the word "die," a dense killing intent immediately radiated from his body. He did not bother to hide it at all.
Everyone in the Divine Medicinal Garden had stopped what they were doing long ago. They all watched this quietly. Even though the Spiritual Root of Heavenly Ways made them envious, none of them dared to do anything, including the few late Divine King.
As the person who ranked first on the Overgods' Plaque, Mo Cheng's background was so great that he was not someone they could provoke.
Moreover, even though the green-clothed old man behind Mo Cheng had concealed his aura so that no one in the garden was able to discern his cultivation, the more he did that, the more unfathomable they felt him to be.
"Hahaha, you want the Spiritual Root of Heavenly Dao? Even if I die, I won't give it to you." Yun Daolai laughed aloud as determination filled his eyes. A Space Ring appeared in his hand. He wanted to detonate the Space Ring with the consciousness he had left in it.
Mo Cheng's gaze turned cold. He let out a cold harrumph and formed an incantation gesture with his left hand before pointing at Yun Daolai.
The finger contained a mysterious and great power. Yun Daolai only felt his body tighten. At that moment, he was actually unable to move at all. He had been trapped by a mysterious power.
Even though the imprisonment only lasted for a short moment, Mo Cheng had already arrived before Yun Daolai during that moment. He swung his sword and chopped off Yun Daolai's right arm mercilessly, taking away the Space Ring.
"What is this secret technique? A late Overgod can actually make an early Divine King pause for a moment."
Many Divine Kings in the Divine Medicinal Garden were secretly shocked. Their gazes towards Mo Cheng were filled with deep fear.
Even though it was just a split second, it was enough to turn the situation around.
Yun Daolai grunted painfully as he staggered backwards while clutching his severed arm. His face was pale.
On the other side, Yunxin's eyes were completely red. She felt like a knife had been twisted in her heart when she saw Mo Cheng cut off Yun Daolai's arm.
Yunxin clenched the Space Ring in her hand tightly. She was conflicted inside. She was hesitating over whether she should hand over the Space Ring to save her uncle's life or not.
However, after learning about the effects of the Spiritual Root of Heavenly Ways, she also understood just how important it was to the Yun family.
If she gave the Spiritual Root of Heavenly Ways to a great elder, not only would the great elder's cultivation increase from one Heavenly Layer to three Heavenly Layers in a short amount of time, but it was extremely likely for the great elder to become a Chaotic Prime in the future.
Once the Yun family possessed a Chaotic Prime, they would immediately become a peak organisation in the Sky Empire. They would basically stand on equal footing with the imperial family.
The Spiritual Root of Heavenly Ways was directly related to the hopes of the Yun family rising up.
Yunxin carefully extended the senses of her soul into the Space Ring. She wanted to confirm whether the Spiritual Root of Heavenly Ways was in her hands or not.
The Space Ring was empty. There was only a root that was less than a foot long at the very centre. It radiated with the power of ways as if it contained the truths of the world.
Yunxin confirmed that it was the Spiritual Root of Heavenly Ways the moment she saw it.
After some hesitation, Yunxin shoved the Space Ring into Jianchen's hands and said secretly, "Jianchen, there's something I really hope you can help me with. You must have guessed it already. There really is a Spiritual Root of Heavenly Ways in this Space Ring. I'll give you the Spiritual Root of Heavenly Ways right now. Immediately leave the Azure Poseidon Palace with the Spiritual Root of Heavenly Ways and give it to the great elder of our Yun family. From today onwards, you will be the greatest benefactor of our Yun family. Our Yun family will never mistreat you. "
Yunxin felt extremely helpless when she made this decision. She knew that Mo Cheng would learn that the Spiritual Root of Heavenly Ways was in her hands very soon. She had no confidence in escaping from Mo Cheng. The only thing she could do was place her hopes on Jianchen.
Even though she knew that this decision would also lead to the risk of Jianchen taking the Spiritual Root of Heavenly Ways for himself, she really had no other choice.
"Even if the Spiritual Root of Heavenly Ways really does end up in Jianchen's hands, it's still better than it ending up in Mo Cheng's hands," Yunxin sighed inside.
Jianchen was stunned. He turned his head slightly and stared at Yunxin in surprise.
"I won't leak the news that the Spiritual Root of Heavenly Ways is in your hands. I'll create an illusion that the Spiritual Root of Heavenly Ways is in my hands to keep Mo Cheng busy and buy you some time, but it won't be for much longer. Hurry up and leave the Azure Poseidon Palace as quickly as you can, "Yunxin said again. Determination filled her eyes.
"If you trick Mo Cheng, it's impossible for Mo Cheng to spare you. Only death awaits you. You need to consider this carefully," Jian Chen replied.
Yunxin gritted her teeth. She said with determination, "If my death can give the Yun family a brand new future, then I'll die with no regrets."
Jianchen stared at Yunxin for a very long time. In the beginning, he was extremely repulsed by the young lady of the Yun family. However, only now did he truly see the other side of Yunxin.
"Hmm? You don't have it! " Mo Cheng's eyes became colder and colder. Killing intent shone from his eyes. He casually tossed the Space Ring he had taken from Yun Daolai to the ground and said coldly, "Tell me, where is the Spiritual Root of Heavenly Ways hidden?"
"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and leave," Yunxin's face changed as she immediately urged Jianchen. She knew that she could not keep it a secret for much longer.
Jianchen handed the Space Ring back to Yunxin.
He said through his voice, "They're blocking the exit. You can't leave even if you want to. Moreover, do you think anyone will be able to leave before Mo Cheng finds the Spiritual Root of Heavenly Ways? Although Mo Cheng's strength isn't enough to catch the attention of some Divine Kings, the old man beside him is extraordinary. "
Jianchen was unable to see through the old man's strength as well. This was because the old man hid his strength far too well. No matter how he looked at him, he seemed like an ordinary person. However, Caia could even see through hidden Infinite Primes, so the old man obviously could not hide from Caia.
Caia had already told Jianchen that the old man was extremely powerful, far more powerful than any Divine King she had encountered so far.
"Fellow Mo Cheng, I saw this person hand a Space Ring to this woman earlier. If I've guessed correctly, the Spiritual Root of Heavenly Ways should be in there," at this moment, a Divine King in the garden clasped his fist and said before pointing towards Yunxin.
Not only was Mo Cheng first on the Overgods' Plaque, but he would definitely become an expert on the same level as the Divine King in the future. Moreover, his background was tremendous, so many people were willing to befriend him. Clearly, the Divine King in the garden wanted to befriend Mo Cheng by telling him this.
Yun Xin's face immediately became extremely pale.
Mo Cheng slowly made his way towards Yunxin as a powerful pressure slowly radiated from him.
"Hand over the Spiritual Root of Heavenly Ways," Mo Cheng's gaze was as sharp as a sword as he stared right at Yunxin. Yunxin did not dare to look him in the eye.
Yunxin tightened her grip on the Space Ring. She was also unwilling to accept this. After all, this was related to the hopes of her Yun family rising up.
However, she also knew that even though she possessed the Spiritual Root of Heavenly Ways right now, she could not keep it.
"The hopes of our Yun family rising up have been destroyed by my hands just like this." Tears flowed uncontrollably from Yunxin's eyes. She looked at the Space Ring in her hand reluctantly. She was about to hand it over to Mo Cheng.
At this moment, she had no other choice at all.
"The Spiritual Root of Heavenly Ways already belongs to someone, and it's related to the hopes of her clan rising up. Mo Cheng, it's best if you don't force her," at this moment, Jianchen walked over and blocked Yunxin's path. He stared at Mo Cheng calmly.
Mo Cheng was surprised when he saw Jianchen block his path. Jianchen did not conceal his presence, so he could clearly sense that Jianchen's cultivation was the same as his. They were both late Overgods.
Who knew how many years it had been since a late Overgod had dared to disobey him.
All the Overgods and the Divine King gathered in the Divine Medicinal Garden were stunned when they witnessed this. Disbelief filled their faces.
"Who is this kid? He really doesn't know his place. Does he think he's the Divine King? How dare he talk back to Mo Cheng …"
"In Mo Cheng's eyes, he's nothing compared to the Divine King.
So what if he's a Godking? Didn't you see the battle prowess he displayed earlier? It's far greater than many early Godkings … "
"Don't tell me this wild kid hasn't even heard of the Overgods' Plaque. He's only a late Overgod, yet he dares to talk back to Mo Cheng. He really is looking for death …"
.....
Discussions rang out in the Divine Medicinal Garden. Many people mocked and mocked Jianchen. Of course, there were a few people who looked at Jianchen sympathetically.
It was indeed praiseworthy to lend a helping hand in the face of injustice, but they had to act within their means.
