A multicolored light descended from the sky, wrapping around the Flowing Light Marigold. Multicolored light floated down from the sky like snowflakes. This was an auspicious sign. The pure Spiritual Energy in the surroundings contained even more Essence than an Inferior Grade Spirit Stone.
"The Flowing Light Marigold actually blossomed, an auspicious sign from the heavens. This is actually an Immortal Grade Spirit Herb," Xiao Chen said as he looked at the multicolored light in the sky. "I cannot waste this auspicious sign, I have to collect it."
A large flock of birds flew over and swallowed the auspicious signs. In an instant, the sky was covered with the figures of flying Spirit Beasts.
Xiao Chen summoned out the silver warship and leaped onto it, joining the fighting army. Xiao Chen took out a jade bottle and faced the multicolored light falling from the sky. He gently waved his hand and drew it into the jade bottle.
"Rumble …!"
Suddenly, loud sounds came from the ground. Xiao Chen looked down and discovered that the Scarlet Crown Snake was being surrounded. Eight Rank 6 Spirit Beasts were fighting the Scarlet Crown Snake intensely.
A Rank 6 Spirit Beast was equivalent to a Martial King. When nine Rank 6 Spirit Beasts fought, the scene was extremely chaotic. The loud sounds came one after another. Many hundred-year-old herbs were destroyed in large amounts.
Even though it was one against eight, the Scarlet Crown Snake was not at a disadvantage. It was evenly matched. When its mountain-like body moved, the entire ground trembled.
These nine Spirit Beasts also knew that their area of battle was too wide. They had a tacit understanding and avoided the Flowing Light Marigold, fighting from a distance.
On the Flowing Light Marigold, a golden flower bud slowly blossomed. It gave off a bright light and the dense Spiritual Energy was like a mist, making everything hazy.
Xiao Chen looked at the nine Spirit Beasts fighting in the distance. Then, he looked at the Flowing Light Marigold blossoming on the Flowing Light Marigold. His heart skipped a beat, It seems like this is an opportunity.
If I am fast enough, I can descend from the sky and pluck the Flowing Light Marigold before they can react. After that, I will quickly leave this place. After all, this herb field was becoming less attractive to me. It would not be a pity to leave.
"Hu chi!"
Just as Xiao Chen was thinking about this topic, a black dot was approaching from the horizon. It was flying towards him like a bolt of lightning. Its speed was as fast as a ribbon, leaving a long ray of light in the sky.
It was a large blue bird with a wingspan of ten meters. It tore through the air, bringing with it a violent airflow as it flew towards the Flowing Light Marquee.
What he was doing was exactly what Xiao Chen was thinking. Xiao Chen cursed in his heart. He was thinking too much. He should have just rushed forward.
The big blue bird had already seized the initiative, and its speed was even faster than Xiao Chen's. Even if he attacked with all his might, he wouldn't be able to catch up. He could only watch as the Flowing Light Flower was snatched away by the strange bird.
Bang!
Just as the giant blue bird opened its mouth and was about to take away the Flowing Light Flower, a gust of wind blew. The Scarlet Crown Snake swept its tail across the sky and sent the big blue bird flying.
Swish swish swish!
The other eight Spirit Beasts stopped attacking the Scarlet Crown Snake and each of them attacked the blue bird. The blue bird that was struggling to escape in the air immediately fell to the ground.
"Pa!"
The Scarlet Crown Snake's tail smacked down heavily, and the huge blue bird immediately turned into a bloody mess, turning into a pile of meat paste.
Xiao Chen was startled. When he saw the bloody corpse of the huge blue bird, he felt a chill run down his spine. These Spirit Beasts were not stupid. They knew that there would be other Spirit Beasts taking advantage of their fight to snatch away the Flowing Light Flower.
If other Spirit Beasts came to snatch the Flowing Light Flower, they would stop fighting and attack together. The combined attack of nine Rank 6 Spirit Beasts was unstoppable in this underground world.
Xiao Chen's back broke out in a cold sweat. If it were not for this anxious bird, he would be the one lying on the ground.
Recollecting his thoughts, Xiao Chen focused all his attention on the five-colored Auspicious Signs in the sky.
In the blink of an eye, most of the Auspicious Signs in the sky had been devoured.
Xiao Chen quickly piloted the silver warship and turned it into a silver bolt of lightning, collecting the five-colored Auspicious Signs in all directions. However, it could not compare to the dense flock of birds; there were simply too many of them.
Xiao Chen only managed to collect twenty Auspicious Signs before the rest were all devoured. Xiao Chen shook his head and closed the jade bottle. He glanced at the nine Spirit Beasts fighting non-stop before leaving this place.
After finding a quiet place, Xiao Chen took out the jade bottle containing the Auspicious Signs. He revealed a faint smile on his face.
Although the Essence contained in the Auspicious Signs was not as much as a Medial Grade Spirit Stone, it was what Xiao Chen needed urgently.
The Essence contained in a Medial Grade Spirit Stone was very vast. However, one could only use it after advancing to Medial Grade Martial Saint. Otherwise, the Essence would cause one's body to explode.
As for the Essence contained in the Auspicious Signs, although it was much weaker than a Medial Grade Spirit Stone, it was very gentle.
Cultivators of any cultivation realm could directly absorb it without worrying about their body exploding.
Even an Inferior Grade Martial Disciple could directly absorb this energy, which far exceeded what their body could handle. If Xiao Chen took these twenty Auspicious Signs to the market, they would be worth two thousand Inferior Grade Spirit Stones.
Right now, Xiao Chen lacked everything except Spirit Stones. Naturally, he would not use them to exchange for Spirit Stones.
Xiao Chen sat down cross-legged and opened the jade bottle containing the Auspicious Signs. He slowly circulated the Purple Thunder Divine Incantation. The five-colored Auspicious Signs slowly floated out and entered Xiao Chen's nostrils.
Streams of gentle and majestic pure Essence flowed into Xiao Chen's meridians. The Qi whirlpool in his dantian spun quickly, absorbing all this Essence.
The speed at which the Qi whirlpool absorbed Essence was much faster than what Xiao Chen had done in the past. Soon, a drop of clear liquid Essence dripped below his dantian.
"Di da, di da …"
The Qi whirlpool spun quickly. Drops of pure Essence dripped continuously, transforming the Spiritual Energy in the five-colored Auspicious Signs into his own energy.
The Essence contained in the twenty Auspicious Signs was equivalent to five Medial Grade Spirit Stones. After Xiao Chen absorbed all of them, his energy reached a horrifying level.
Furthermore, the most important thing was that there was no danger. This surging energy was extremely gentle. It was like a spring breeze as it infused into Xiao Chen's body.
After two hours, Xiao Chen finally absorbed all of this energy. Xiao Chen opened his eyes. There was a purple glow in his eyes; it was as sharp as a solid object.
When Xiao Chen got up and felt the surging energy in his body, he said ruefully, "I am finally a Superior Grade Martial Grand Master. My cultivation realm is still a little low, but my energy is sufficient."
If one wanted to advance to Martial Saint, aside from energy, one needed some comprehension. Their understanding of Essence had to reach a corresponding level before they could use Essence to injure others.
After absorbing twenty Auspicious Signs, Xiao Chen's current strength was comparable to that of a regular Inferior Grade Martial Saint. He was only a step away from advancing to Martial Saint.
"Ka ca!"
Xiao Chen drew the Lunar Shadow Saber and a blazing saber light appeared. With a thought, Xiao Chen infused his Essence into the saber in an endless stream. The saber light suddenly doubled in size, reaching ten meters.
Xiao Chen shook his head and casually waved his hand, scattering the Essence on the saber. He said indifferently, "It is condensed but not solid. It is too gorgeous. There is no way to send out saber Qi like this."
Martial Saint was the first hurdle of a cultivator. In this Tianwu Continent, one could not be considered a true expert without becoming a Martial Saint.
Some people would never be able to overcome this hurdle, spending their entire lives in mediocrity. The earlier one advanced to Martial Saint, the greater the potential one had. Otherwise, it would be the opposite.
Xiao Chen was almost seventeen years old. To be able to advance to peak Martial Saint at this age, his talent would be considered at the peak of the Great Qin Nation. Of course, he had to exclude those proud sons of heaven with inherited Martial Spirits.
However, in the context of the entire continent, this kind of talent was nothing much.
"I might not be a genius, but I have never slacked off. The so-called geniuses are just slightly better than me. Sooner or later, I will surpass those people," Xiao Chen thought to himself.
"Rumble …!"
In the herb field in the distance, the battle of the nine Spirit Beasts had not ended yet. Loud explosions resounded continuously. Even though Xiao Chen was standing far away, he could feel the fluctuations of Spiritual Energy in the air.
Xiao Chen took a look and said, "It is time to leave this place. I have already collected all the Spirit Herbs that increase Qi and blood in the herb field. If I do not return soon, Elder Sister Ruyue and the others will be worried."
"Bang!
Bang! "Just as Xiao Chen was about to leave, there were two explosions that were even louder than before. The ground trembled continuously. Even Xiao Chen's body was shaking left and right.
"What a horrifying force! Has the victor been decided?" Xiao Chen was horrified.
Xiao Chen's Spiritual Sense shot out like an arrow. In the next moment, the situation there was clearly imprinted in Xiao Chen's mind.
A poisonous fog spread out. The black poisonous Qi was like black threads lingering around. The surrounding Spirit Herbs no longer had any signs of life under the black Qi.
Large patches of poisonous Qi covered the herb field. Several hundred-year-old herbs were all destroyed. Xiao Chen thought to himself, What a pity. Any one of these herbs would be worth tens of thousands of gold coins in the outside world.
As Xiao Chen's Spiritual Sense moved through the fog, he saw the corpse of a Rank 6 Spirit Beast. Its entire body was black, and its head was separated from its body.
As Xiao Chen continued to look, he saw the corpses of another seven Rank 6 Spirit Beasts. They all died in different ways, but their bodies were all black; they looked very scary.
Xiao Chen thought to himself, This is a poison that even Rank 6 Spirit Beasts cannot withstand. If I were to come in contact with this poisonous Qi, I would probably die immediately. "Pu!
Pu! "
The poisonous Qi slowly scattered. The Scarlet Crown Snake, which was the size of a small mountain, slowly slithered towards the Flowing Light Marigold Tree. When Xiao Chen looked carefully, he discovered that this Scarlet Crown Snake was not completely unscathed.
Its huge body was covered in wounds of varying depths; it was dripping with blood. Every time it took a step, blood spurted out and splashed on the ground.
It was clear that although it defeated the other Spirit Beasts, it was severely injured. Xiao Chen thought quickly, thinking of all sorts of possibilities.
If this Scarlet Crown Snake is only as fast as it is now, then I should be able to dodge it with my Blue Dragon Cloud Soaring Art.
Xiao Chen stretched out his hand, and five Ice Ape sculptures appeared in his hand. There were still five Ice Apes; he should be able to delay for a while.
These five Ice Apes were carved before Xiao Chen came to the underground world. He had not had a chance to use them. Perhaps they could be of great use at this moment.
Even so, Xiao Chen still felt like he was fighting with himself. He hesitated. As the saying goes, a starving camel is still bigger than a horse. Although this Scarlet Crown Snake was severely injured, it was hard to guarantee that it did not have any trump cards up its sleeves.
