The four experts of the Meng Huang tribe reluctantly handed their Space Rings to Nubis before leaving with wounds all over their bodies.
Jianchen did not take their lives. He withdrew the strand of Chaotic Force that was wreaking havoc in three of them. Ignoring the fact that he did not have any irreconcilable grievances with the people of the Meng Huang tribe, one of the clansmen of the Meng Huang tribe was a member of the Serpent God Hall. Killing them would inevitably lead to some trouble.
Jianchen obviously did not wish for something like that to happen as he only wanted to seek refuge in the sea realm and gain more time to increase his strength.
"Patriarch, since the matter of the Meng Huang tribe has been dealt with, the two of us have basically completed our mission. We'll part ways here." Jianchen clasped his hands at the patriarch of the Dahl tribe after the people of the Meng Huang tribe had left.
"My two brave warriors, you must be tired from the previous battle. Why don't you rest in our tribe for a few days? Let us, the Dahl tribe, thank you for your kindness." The chief of the Dahl tribe tried to persuade them to stay.
Jianchen shook his head, "Thank you for your kindness, patriarch. We do indeed have important matters to attend to, so we can't waste any more time."
Jianchen and Nubis immediately left after declining the patriarch's invitation. They had come to the sea realm to increase their strength, not to play. They could not waste too much time on these miscellaneous matters.
The patriarch of the Dahl tribe gently sighed inside as he watched Jianchen and Nubis leave. He murmured, "How great would it be if such powerful warriors could remain in our tribe? It's a pity that our tiny Dahl tribe can't accommodate powerful warriors like them."
The Great Elder of the Dahl tribe walked up to the chief and said, "Chief, the two warriors have injured the four emissaries of the Divine Hall. Do you think the Divine Hall will blame them?" There was a trace of worry in the Great Elder's expression.
The chief shook his head and said, "The fact that the emissaries of the Divine Temple have participated in the battle between the tribes is already a violation of the Divine Temple's commandments. The fact that the four emissaries of the Divine Temple are not punished by the Divine Temple after they return is already a very fortunate thing. Why would the Divine Temple hold the Dahl tribe accountable for such a small matter?"
"Our Dahl tribe is equivalent to the people of the Serpent God Hall. The divine hall won't interfere with the conflicts between the people unless the situation is too big. That's why the divine hall will intervene. However, we won't help either side for no reason."
… …
Jianchen and Nubis flew a thousand meters in the air. Nubis played around with the eight Space Rings in his hand as he snickered from time to time. He constantly guessed how many crystal coins were stored in there.
Along the way, Jianchen and Nubis came across quite a few groups of Saint Rulers. There were even Holy Emperor Saint Rulers searching everywhere. They were all searching for traces of the Eight Wastelands. Any human or magical beast Saint Ruler that they came across would be stopped and questioned carefully. There were even a few Holy Emperor Saint Rulers who would forcefully search through their Space Rings.
Jianchen and Nubis were stopped a few times as well, but since they both possessed the presence of the Sea race, very few people would purposefully make things difficult for them. However, they did come across a group of Saint Rulers that was unreasonable once. They wanted to forcefully search through their Space Rings, which almost led to a battle.
Jianchen and Nubis traveled for an entire day. In the end, they arrived at a desolate mountain range with very few people. They carved out a cave in the depths of the mountain range and settled down temporarily. They planned on cultivating there for the time being.
Jianchen was not in a hurry to find the divine hall of the Eight Wastelands. Right now, the entire sea realm was filled with experts searching for the Eight Wastelands. If people learned that the two of them possessed the Eight Wastelands, they would definitely become the target of everyone. At that time, it would be extremely difficult for them to keep the pieces of the Eight Wastelands.
Jianchen embedded a luminous pearl into the ceiling of the cave to provide some light in the pitch-black cave. Nubis crouched on the ground and began to count the items in the eight Space Rings.
It had to be mentioned that Nubis's harvest this time was extremely plentiful. The eight Space Rings contained a large number of crystal coins and a few other miscellaneous items. Adding all the crystal coins in the eight Space Rings together, it amounted to over thirty million crystal coins. The amount surprised Jianchen and Nubis.
Other than that, there were some notes on cultivation and cultivation methods. There were even two Heaven Tier Battle Skills. However, while these things were of some use to Heaven Saint Masters, they were completely useless to Jianchen and Nubis. Nubis casually tossed them to one side.
At this moment, an extremely obscure pulse of energy appeared from the pile of items. Nubis' curiosity was immediately piqued. He dove into the pile of items he had poured out of his Space Ring and began rummaging through them.
Very soon, Nubis pulled out an ordinary metal box that was around a foot long. He studied the box in his hand curiously and said, "The things inside must be extremely valuable." With that, Nubis slowly opened the box.
The material of the box was extremely unique. It clearly had the effect of isolating pulses of energy. When the box was tightly shut, it was very difficult to sense any pulses of energy, but as soon as the box was opened, a tremendous pulse of energy immediately radiated out.
This energy was majestic and powerful, as if it was an emperor that could command the world. With its appearance, the water elemental energy within a radius of dozens of miles quieted down, as if they had been frightened by something, or as if they had met their own king, all of them prostrating themselves on the ground and submitting to him.
"The disturbance is far too great. It'll definitely attract the attention of other experts. Let's enter the artifact space," Jian Chen called out. Before he could study the contents of the box, a golden light shot out from between his eyebrows and turned into a golden pagoda. Afterward, he and Nubis entered the artifact space together with the box.
After the two of them left, a woman silently appeared in the empty cave. She was tall and wore a veil over her face, so it was impossible to make out her appearance. If Jianchen and Nubis saw her, they would definitely recognize her as the mysterious person who had given them the Water Spirit Pearl.
A light flickered through the woman's eyes. Her gaze was cold as she softly murmured, "I never thought that an emperor would venture into the depths of the Sea of Despair and obtain an Abyssal Crystal while I was slumbering. He used a secret technique to forge a key. Hmph, do you think you can find me with this key?"
Jianchen and Nubis suddenly appeared in the central hall of the artifact space. However, as soon as they appeared, a cool presence immediately radiated into the surroundings from the two of them. It filled the surrounding several dozen kilometers with dense water elemental energy.
"Master, what's this?" The Artifact Spirit silently appeared beside Jianchen. The light in her eyes flickered as she studied the item in the box curiously.
Jianchen and Nubis stared at the item in the box. At that moment, the box had been completely enveloped by a layer of blue light. Through the light, they could vaguely see a palm-sized key lying there. The powerful blue light came from the key.
Jianchen carefully picked up the key from the box and studied it. The powerful blue light from the key illuminated Jianchen's entire face, dyeing him and Nubis in a deep blue. It seemed extremely demonic.
"It's actually a key. Is it the key to some treasure?" Nubis guessed.
Jianchen stared at the key in thought for a while before placing it back into the box. He slowly closed the box and said with a heavy voice, "This key must be something important to unlock something. It's definitely not simple. I just don't know if this key belongs to the emissary or to the Serpent God Hall. If it belongs to them, it'll be easy, but if it belongs to the Serpent God Hall, we'll probably be in trouble."
"Jianchen, it looks like we need to go to an even further place to cultivate in seclusion, just in case the people of the Serpent God Hall come looking for us," Nubis suggested.
Jianchen nodded. "Artifact Spirit, I'll leave the box with you for now. Take good care of it for me."
"Yes, master," the Artifact Spirit replied in a hurry.
Afterwards, Jianchen and Nubis left the artifact space and reappeared in the cave. The two of them were no longer in the mood to remain there. They quickly stowed away a large pile of useful items in the cave into their Space Rings and immediately left, flying off into the distance.
At the same time, Jansen and the other emissaries returned to the Serpent God Hall in dejection. They reported everything that had happened on the way to a hall elder.
The hall elder was a burly man with bare arms. He had a ferocious look on his face and gave off a valiant presence. All the emissaries standing before him could not help but tremble. They felt fear from the depths of their souls. This was similar to the pressure of a bloodline. It was a phenomenon that would only occur when a lower lifeform faced a higher lifeform.
"What? You've actually lost something?" The hall elder was infuriated when he heard that the four of them had lost their Space Rings. His gaze immediately sharpened, piercing through space like two sharp swords, causing it to tremble.
The four emissaries all knelt on the ground as they trembled. Their faces were filled with fear.
"You four pieces of trash! Our Serpent God Hall sent the four of you out to bring the item back just to fool others. Didn't those useless elders tell you just how important the item was to our Serpent God Hall before you left? You pieces of trash actually brought something so valuable out to stir up trouble, and you even lost it in the end. What's the point of keeping you pieces of trash around?" The middle-aged man roared in exasperation. Towards the end, he directly swung his palm at the four emissaries.
"Charlie, calm down!" An old voice rang out. Immediately, a blue barrier of light suddenly appeared, protecting the four emissaries.
When the middle-aged man's palm strike collided with the blue light, the blue light immediately shook violently. In the end, it was unable to withstand the heavy pressure and shattered. However, the remaining force of the middle-aged man's palm strike still mercilessly struck Jansen and the other three emissaries, causing them to spurt out a mouthful of blood. Their bodies were sent flying backwards like cannonballs. In the end, they fiercely hit the wall behind them.
An old man with a walking stick walked in from the outside unhurriedly. The middle-aged man stared coldly at the old man and said in a low voice, "Look at your good disciple. He actually lost such an important item. You should know how important this item is to the Palace Master. If the Palace Master blames us, neither you nor I will be able to bear the responsibility."
