Long Yu didn't linger in the same place for too long after he'd reached the third level of the divine ability realm and killed the emperor realm beast of the Wood God Race. He simply took the beast crystal and left immediately.
"This is an emperor realm beast's crystal. It contains a lot of wood attribute divine runes. Although it can't be used to comprehend the divine runes, it can be absorbed by a martial or monster cultivator of the corresponding attribute to quickly recover the power of the divine runes …"
Long Yu put away the beast crystal. Since it came from an emperor realm beast, it was definitely valuable. He didn't think about how much he could sell it for, because he didn't lack money at all.
"Let's go."
Long Yu immediately used Divine Concealment and left the forest that was completely destroyed. In this area, it would only take a few days for it to completely recover to its original state. The giant trees that were destroyed would quickly recover on their own. It could be seen how strong their life force was.
Alone, he returned to the entrance of the cave where the Wood God Race had set up the ambush. He wanted to go in and see what was going on inside, but he heard a few familiar voices.
"The Cracked Tooth Squad?"
Long Yu frowned slightly. Why would the Wood God Race let the Cracked Tooth Squad go?
The four members of the Cracked Tooth Squad came out of the cave one after another as he thought about it. None of them looked very well.
"Thank goodness we were careful. Otherwise, we would've been tricked by those beasts."
Qiao Ziying said with lingering fear.
"Mn, we'll be fine as long as we follow the captain."
Nanmen Yingxia forced a smile.
"But we wasted four Mirage Pills," Captain Gu Wenshan said solemnly.
Captain Gu Wenshan said in a low voice, "Of course, losing the four Mirage Pills is better than us all dying. I didn't expect Nian Cai 'er to really lead us into a trap, and everyone in Tian Rui's team died …"
"Let's go back quickly. There was a battle at the edge of the wellspring just now. Some experts must've come to deal with that emperor realm beast. There's no point in staying here any longer. Why don't we go back as soon as possible?"
Gu Yixian said faintly. He stood up and flew towards the direction of the Spring Heavenly Pagoda.
Long Yu listened to the conversation of the four and took the opportunity to run into the cave to take a look. Only then did he know what had happened. It turned out that the four members of the Split Tooth Squad who had followed Nian Cai'er to this cave were just phantom doppelgangers condensed after taking the Phantom Pill.
The Mirage Pill that even an emperor realm cultivator couldn't detect was worth at least a hundred shenbi!
But if it was used to save a life, the 400 shenbi was well spent.
Long Yu entered the deepest part of the cave and saw Nian Cai'er's corpse buried in the depths of the cave. It seemed that she had been severely injured by the Wood God Clan's strange beast and had not been able to revive.
The people in the Split Tooth Squad were kind-hearted, and they even helped to bury Nian Cai 'er. If it was any other training squad, they wouldn't have cared about Nian Cai' er's corpse.
As for the assets left behind by the Heaven Rui Squad that Nian Cai'er had mentioned, they naturally didn't exist. They had only been used to deceive the Split Tooth Squad.
The strange beasts of the Wood God Race might have wanted to use this method to retrieve the divine runic crystals and divine runic source stones. Unfortunately, they didn't know that Long Yu was the one who had obtained the divine runic crystals and divine runic source stones, and that he had even given the divine runic source stones to the Death Envoy.
… …
Long Yu didn't greet the Split Tooth Squad. Instead, he returned to the Spring Heavenly Pagoda and continued converting the divine runic crystals.
The Death Envoy urged him to leave as soon as possible, but Long Yu wasn't in a hurry. Even if the strange beasts of the Wood God Race really did attack, the Spring Heavenly Pagoda wouldn't fall so easily.
Long Yu wanted to take this opportunity to temper himself and increase his martial dao realm.
Just like this, for the next month, Long Yu began to cultivate in seclusion. But while cultivating and converting the divine runic crystals, he would also put on his mask and go to the first floor of the Spring Heavenly Pagoda to buy pills he hadn't taken yet.
Even if he had taken a pill once, he would buy another one. Although the effects would be halved, it was still effective. He didn't lack money now, so he wasn't afraid of wasting a little.
All the medicinal efficacy of the pills he had previously stored up had been used up when he stepped into the Third Path Transcendent realm. If he wanted to increase his martial dao realm again, he would need to take even more pills.
In this way, just the pills from the first floor of the Spring Heavenly Pagoda weren't enough.
It wasn't that there wasn't enough, but that there wasn't enough variety. Long Yu had already taken some common pills twice, so taking them again wouldn't have any effect at all.
Therefore, Long Yu quickly invested a thousand shenbi to buy an identity crystal from the second floor of the Spring Heavenly Pagoda. With this crystal, a Martial Cultivator could freely enter and exit the second floor of the Spring Heavenly Pagoda and enjoy a 50% increase in cultivation speed.
To Long Yu, a short-term increase in cultivation speed wasn't of much use. What he cared about was the second floor's trading area. There were many more items being traded than the first floor!
There were even several types of great desolate grade pills that Long Yu hadn't seen before. After spending a thousand shenbi, Long Yu bought several great desolate grade high and middle grade pills and directly absorbed their medicinal efficacy and Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.
There would be rich kids like Long Yu coming to the Spring Heavenly Pagoda almost every day. They all wanted to come to the Spring Heavenly Pagoda to train, so Long Yu's actions didn't attract anyone's attention.
A month passed. Long Yu used the Void Nether Dragon Blade to absorb the medicinal efficacy of more than a hundred great desolate grade pills. However, he was still a long way from stepping into the Four Daos Transcendent Realm.
He wasn't in a hurry. Instead, he focused on converting the divine rune crystals.
A month later.
Long Yu converted all 240 wood elemental divine rune crystals into Nine Nether Divine Rune crystals. This way, the 240 first-class divine rune crystals had all become second-class divine rune crystals. The strengthening effect of the building was only a tenth of the original.
Long Yu didn't want to convert them a second time. Not only would the strengthening effect of the building completely disappear, it wouldn't have any obvious effect on his comprehension of the power of the divine runes.
Beyond the Death Envoy's expectations, Long Yu's comprehension of the Nine Nether Divine Rune rose to 50% after converting the 240 divine rune crystals!
This was clearly due to Long Yu's compatibility with the Shadow Attribute Divine Rune. Now, Long Yu's compatibility with the Shadow Attribute Divine Rune had reached level 4. He was only one level away from comprehending the God Chain like Shu Chan had done.
After comprehending fifty percent of the Nine Nether Divine Text, Long Yu's various techniques related to it were more than twice as powerful as before. For example, the Nether Dragon Nine Explosions, the Nine Nether Heavenly Light, and the innate divine ability he had just comprehended a month ago, the Nine Nether Dragon Breath.
In addition, Long Yu had stepped into the Three Daos Transcendent Realm. Now, he wouldn't be at a disadvantage even if he faced a Seven Daos Transcendent Realm expert head-on.
Of course, this was only for ordinary Seven Daos Transcendent Realm experts. If it were the elites among the Seven Daos Transcendent Realm experts, it would be very difficult for Long Yu to deal with them, especially if they had comprehended the complete Divine Rune inscription. Then their combat power wouldn't be too weak.
For example, the leader of the Cracked Tooth Squad, Gu Wenshan. Now, if Long Yu wanted to sneak attack him, the success rate would be very low. This was not only because Gu Wenshan had rich combat experience, but also because he had comprehended the complete Divine Rune inscription and had comprehended it completely!
"If I want to protect the Heavenly Mandate Manor, this is far from enough!"
Long Yu thought to himself. There were less than two months until the Imperial Capital Grand Event. He had to improve his strength further.
The best way was to fight and train!
…
After a month, Long Yu left the Source Heavenly Tower for the first time. He brought enough healing elixirs and recovery elixirs with him. He headed towards the source of the tower, ready to enter it and fight against the exotic beasts.
This time, he didn't plan to rely on the Asura Ancient Palace. Only by doing so could he truly improve.
The Asura Ancient Palace couldn't use the Asura Thought Killing Matrix or the Asura Sealing Matrix, but its defense was extremely strong. As long as Long Yu hid in it, he would be able to sleep peacefully. This was obviously contrary to his idea of training.
More importantly, Long Yu didn't want others to see the Asura Ancient Palace. Otherwise, they would be able to guess his true identity.
However, what Long Yu didn't expect was that when he flew to the edge of the source of the tower and arrived at the vast, dry riverbed, four figures suddenly flew out from the giant forest in front of him.
"The Cracked Tooth Squad?"
Long Yu frowned slightly, and he couldn't help but be slightly puzzled when he saw the slightly panicked expressions of the four members of the Split Tooth Team. Even Gu Yixian from the King Road Secret Realm had a wisp of anxiousness between his brows!
"Mountain ghosts? Run! "
When Gu Wenshan saw Long Yu, who was about to step into the forest, his complexion slightly changed, and he immediately shouted loudly.
"What's going on?"
Long Yu didn't run away immediately. Instead, he flew up and flew side by side with the four members of the Cracked Tooth Squad, waiting for them to come closer.
"The strange beasts from the withered branches are on a rampage. Several Emperor Realm strange beasts are leading the charge, leading countless strange beasts to charge out!"
Gu Wenshan described the current situation at the source of the tower in one sentence. When he passed by Long Yu, he grabbed him and flew far away.
In less than a breath's time, a black mass of strange beasts from the Wood God Tribe waded out from the giant forest. In an instant, they occupied the entire dry riverbed. There were probably millions of strange beasts from the Wood God Tribe!
The strange beasts of the Wood God Tribe wantonly counterattacked. Countless martial and yao cultivators who were training at the source of the tower suffered a calamity. They were drowned in the endless sea of strange beasts.
If the four members of the Cracked Tooth Squad hadn't coincidentally escaped, Long Yu might have already charged into the sea of strange beasts. If that had happened, it would have been impossible for him not to use the Asura Ancient Palace. If he had been even a little slower, he might have died.
"Hurry up and inform the Spring Heavenly Tower to prepare. There are several Emperor Realm strange beasts coming to attack. There is even the aura of a Great Emperor Realm strange beast!"
Gu Wenshan roared at everyone and then ordered them to scatter and escape in the direction of the Spring Heavenly Tower!
