In the plum blossom forest!
There were a total of 9,999 plum blossom trees in the plum blossom forest. The distance between each plum blossom tree was three meters, and the length of the forest was only a few thousand meters. In other words, the entire plum blossom forest was not large.
Therefore, in less than three minutes, Yu Haoran and Qian Bumai arrived at the deepest part of the plum blossom forest.
"This is …!"
Qian Bumai was so shocked that he did not know what to say when he saw a kind old man with a head full of silver hair and a plum blossom robe sitting cross-legged in front of a wooden house in the deepest part of the plum blossom forest. He had a serene expression and his eyes were closed.
"Junior Yu Haoran greets Senior Plum Blossom!"
Ignoring the shocked Qian Bu Mai, Yu Haoran walked in front of the silver-haired old man. Then, under the reminder of the Sea of Consciousness Pagoda Spirit, he respectfully bowed and said.
"Elixir Emperor Yu, Elder Plum Blossom was an expert from the Middle Ages. How could his body be preserved until now?"
When Qian Bu Mai saw Yu Haoran respectfully greet and call out the silver-haired old man's origins, he walked to Yu Haoran's side and asked with confusion in his eyes.
After all, even the body of an immortal Martial God expert could not survive the erosion of countless years in the Middle Ages and Recent Ages.
"It's because of his cultivation and formation!"
After bowing respectfully, Yu Haoran examined Elder Plum Blossom's body carefully and explained.
"According to the records in the ancient books, Elder Plum Blossom was not only a Formation Master at the peak of the Formation Emperor realm, but also an expert who had reached the peak of the Third Tribulation of the Quasi Martial God realm.
"Although an expert at the peak of the Demigod realm could not live forever like a Martial God expert, with the nourishment of the pure Spiritual Qi provided by the Four Seasons Reincarnation Formation, he could basically achieve an indestructible body and formation."
"I see!"
After hearing Yu Haoran's explanation, the confusion in Qian Bumai's eyes disappeared. He looked at Elder Plum Blossom's body, especially the hands on his abdomen.
But he found nothing.
Elder Plum Blossom's hands were empty, and there were no valuable treasures on him.
Then, he looked up at the wooden house behind the corpse with anticipation in his eyes.
However, considering that the defense of the Four Seasons Samsara Formation had been broken by Yu Haoran, he was able to enter the wooden house in the depths of the plum forest.
As a result, Qian Busai didn't enter the wooden house rashly. Instead, he turned his head to ask Yu Haoran if he could enter the wooden house. However, he discovered that Yu Haoran was still staring at Plum Blossom Elder's corpse.
Aside from a long robe embroidered with plum blossoms, there was nothing valuable on Plum Blossom Elder's corpse. Qian Bumai couldn't understand why Yu Haoran was still staring at the corpse.
However, at this moment, Yu Haoran, whose expression suddenly turned serious, turned his head and instructed him.
"Senior Bu Mai, retreat thirty-six meters!"
"Yes!"
Perhaps it was because Yu Haoran's expression was too grave, or perhaps it was because he had just displayed his astonishing talent in formations, but even though Qian Bumai was full of questions, he nodded without hesitation and retreated thirty-six steps when faced with Yu Haoran's instructions.
"Thaling, I'll have to trouble you!"
After Qian Bumai retreated thirty-six meters, Yu Haoran first activated the defenses of the Ancestral Shaman's body, then fused the Wishful Bell with his body. Finally, he signaled to Thaling in his sea of consciousness.
Thaling nodded solemnly, then used his Demigod spiritual sense to set up a powerful defensive barrier around Elder Plum Blossom's body.
Once everything was ready, Yu Haoran took out a high-grade sage weapon from his storage ring and slashed at Elder Plum Blossom's abdomen.
"Boom!"
Just as the weapon touched Elder Plum Blossom's hands on Elder Plum Blossom's abdomen, a terrifying aura that far surpassed the heavens not only blasted Yu Haoran back nine meters, but also turned the high-grade sage weapon in his hand into white powder.
"Pill Emperor Yu, this is …!"
The range of the terrifying aura's strongest power was exactly thirty-six meters.
Therefore, Qian Bumai, who had retreated thirty-six meters in advance, relied on his strength as a peak eighth-grade Martial Venerable to successfully withstand the terrifying aura's bombardment.
However, the doubts that emerged in his heart made him unable to help but ask in horror.
"Divine Might!"
With the protection of the Ancestral Shaman's body, the Wishful Bell, and Thaling's spiritual sense, although Yu Haoran was blasted back nine meters by the terrifying aura, he did not suffer any injuries. Therefore, when faced with Qian Bumai's questioning, he had a slightly excited expression as he explained.
When he had used the Heavenly Way's rules to annihilate the Gu Liang Clan, he had used the short-distance teleportation formation on the top floor of the treasury to enter the valley space where the Gu Liang Clan wanted to revive their ancestor.
In the valley space, other than a peerless expert at the peak of the ninth-grade Martial Venerable who was about to be revived, there was also the corpse of a Demigod who had just advanced to the quasi-Martial God realm.
Yu Haoran remembered very clearly that the corpse of the quasi-Martial God realm expert had unintentionally emitted a terrifying aura that had almost torn his Divine Soul and mind apart. It had made him truly feel the terror of a Demigod expert's divine might for the first time.
Under normal circumstances, even the corpse of a Demigod who had just entered the quasi-Martial God realm from the Gu Liang Clan could emit a terrifying aura that far surpassed the heavens' might.
Then, the Plum Blossom Elder, who was already at the peak of the third-tribulation quasi-Martial God realm, and the corpse of a peak Demigod that was continuously nourished by the pure spiritual energy provided by the Four Seasons Reincarnation Formation, should not appear so ordinary.
Therefore, Yu Haoran suspected that the Plum Blossom Elder's corpse must have a secret treasure that could conceal the terrifying aura. That was why he had taken the risk of using a weapon to attack.
After hearing Yu Haoran's slightly excited explanation, Qian Bumai's heart immediately surged with shock like a stormy sea.
He was shocked by the terror of a peak third-tribulation quasi-Martial God expert, as well as Yu Haoran's sharp observation skills. He was even more shocked by the terrifying strength that he had just revealed.
Although he had the advantage of retreating thirty-six meters in advance and had not been suppressed by the most terrifying aura, just by the power of the aftermath of the terrifying aura, Qian Bumai knew that the divine might emitted by the corpse of a peak Demigod expert was definitely enough to severely injure a peak ninth-grade Martial Venerable expert.
On the other hand, Yu Haoran!
Facing the pressure of a peak Demigod expert's terrifying divine might, not only did he not suffer any injuries, he was also only forced back nine steps. This meant that he had been hiding his strength all along.
Only now did Qian Bumai finally understand why the number one expert of the clan valued Yu Haoran so much. He even took the initiative to invite him to participate in the Battle of Mount Tai when his cultivation was only at the peak of the ninth-grade Martial Saint realm.
