Now that they had arrived at the top of Tianshan Mountain, Jiang Chen had to be extra careful. He controlled the Zulong Tower and slowly moved towards the aura of the experts. At this moment, the Zulong Tower had become a grain of sand that had completely merged with the void, making it impossible to detect.
At the center of the peak of Tianshan Mountain, there was a translucent pillar made entirely of glaciers. It was as beautiful as a pure crystal. This was the coldest place on Tianshan Mountain. The Regenerative Lotus was growing on the top of this pillar.
It was a blooming snow lotus. The snow lotus wasn't big, only the size of a palm. It was completely transparent and emitted a resplendent light. The aura it emitted was intoxicating. This was a peerless divine medicine, a true treasure. There was no one who wouldn't drool over it.
The eight experts surrounded the Regenerative Lotus from eight different directions, leaving no gap. They didn't stay on the ground, but instead floated in the air at the same height as the Regenerative Lotus. This was the tightest defense they could muster.
Their eyes were filled with greed when they saw the Regenerative Lotus. However, they didn't dare to have any improper thoughts about it.
"The eight of us are very lucky. Although we can't consume the Regenerative Lotus, it's still beneficial to our cultivation by absorbing its aura at such a close distance."
An old man said.
"That's right. The Regenerative Lotus is a peerless divine herb. Its entire body is a treasure. I can feel my blood qi improving after staying close to the Regenerative Lotus for the past few days."
Another person said.
Jiang Chen, who was hiding in the dark, couldn't help but frown when he saw all of this.
"F * ck them. Do they really need to guard it so tightly?"
Jiang Chen had the urge to spurt out blood. The eight experts were guarding the Regenerative Lotus too tightly. Even if Jiang Chen could use the Zulong Tower to get close to the Regenerative Lotus, he wouldn't have the chance to attack. Once he did, he would be immediately detected. The aura of the eight experts had completely enveloped the Regenerative Lotus.
"We won't have the chance to attack at all if these guys keep guarding it like this. We can only give up in the end."
Da Huang Dog shook his head. Judging from the scene before him, there was no chance of success at all. He didn't even have the chance to make a move.
"Little Chenzi, I don't think we should take the risk. It's not too late to retreat now."
Said Han Yan, feeling somewhat apologetic in his heart. It was mostly because of him that Jiang Chen risked his life to steal the Regenerative Lotus. If any accident happened to Jiang Chen, he wouldn't regret it even if he died, but if Jiang Chen was implicated, he wouldn't feel good even if he died.
"There's no turning back. Let's wait and see. If we don't have a chance by daybreak, we'll retreat."
Jiang Chen's eyes were full of determination. He wasn't a man who would give up easily. If there was no chance, he would wait for it. He believed that there would always be a flaw for him to exploit. If there really wasn't a chance, he would retreat at daybreak. Jiang Chen wouldn't joke around with his life.
Just like that, Jiang Chen waited for another three hours. It was already late at night, but the eight experts still hadn't revealed a single flaw. In the Zulong Tower, Da Huang Dog and Han Yan couldn't sit still anymore. Da Huang Dog paced back and forth, seeming very agitated.
Jiang Chen still had an indifferent expression on his face. It was a calmness that wouldn't change even if the sky collapsed in front of him. This was the demeanor of a true superior.
"The most precious part of the Regenerative Lotus is its heart. I heard that it can bring the dead back to life. It's very heaven-defying. However, other than the heart, the other parts of the Regenerative Lotus are also treasures among treasures. I've done a meritorious service in guarding the Regenerative Lotus this time. When we get our hands on the Regenerative Lotus, the patriarch will surely reward me with some parts of the Regenerative Lotus. At that time, my chances of breaking through to the half-step Immortal King realm will be higher."
An elder of Yun Family spoke. His eyes were staring unblinkingly at the Regenerative Lotus. Judging from his tone, it seemed as though the Regenerative Lotus already belonged to his family.
"How shameless! How dare you Yun Family boast like this? In my opinion, the Regenerative Lotus will surely belong to our Huangfu Family. At that time, I'll surely benefit from it."
An elder of Huangfu Family retorted. Huangfu Family and Yun Family had always been at odds with each other. Even their subordinates were always against each other. Although they had been guarding the Regenerative Lotus together these days, the elders of both families had quarreled with each other. It seemed like they would have fought each other if it wasn't for the Regenerative Lotus.
"The two of you should stop fighting. Our Sect Master has made sufficient preparations for the grand ceremony and is determined to get it. There won't be a share for you two. If our Sect Master is happy, he might even give you two a lotus leaf."
The elder of Xuanyang School said while stroking his beard.
"Haha! I can't help but laugh out loud after seeing how confident you two are. Your patriarch and Sect Master are getting old. Our Sect Master Tian is the truly powerful one. He has already reached the half-step Immortal King realm at such a young age. He's even a little stronger than our Sect Master Ouyang. I'm sure the winner will be decided in this grand ceremony."
The elder of Tianyun Pavilion burst into laughter.
"Humph! Tian Muyun isn't a good guy either. "
Someone harrumphed coldly. Tian Muyun was indeed a headache-inducing existence. The patriarchs and sect masters of the other three major powers were all from the older generation, the same generation as Ouyang He. Only Tian Muyun was a junior, but it was precisely because of this junior that he was even scarier. In this era where geniuses were everywhere, a true genius couldn't be judged by common sense. Just like what the elder of Tianyun Pavilion said, Tian Muyun had surpassed his master. After the fall of Ouyang He, Tian Muyun's cultivation base had improved once again. No one knew how strong he had become.
More importantly, the patriarchs and sect masters of the three major powers knew each other very well. They had fought with each other before, so they knew each other's means and trump cards very well. However, the three of them knew very little about Tian Muyun. They didn't know what kind of powerful means and trump cards this legendary genius of One-Line-Sky had. This was undoubtedly disadvantageous to the three of them.
"Everyone, we have been guarding the Regenerative Lotus for such a long time. In fact, it's meaningless to do so. Who would dare to covet the Regenerative Lotus in One-Line-Sky? Plus, we have absorbed a lot of essence of the Regenerative Lotus these days and gained some benefits. Now that we're at the last moment, let's retreat. If the patriarchs find out that the essence of the Regenerative Lotus has decreased, they will certainly despise us. "
At this time, an elder of Huangfu Family suggested.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen, who was about to give up, suddenly became spirited.
