The ant tide was still going on. Salt ants swarmed down from the mountains, flooding the wastelands, villages, and mines like a tidal wave. The barren Salt Five Star did not have many animals or plants to begin with, and now that the salt ants had ravaged it, it became even more desolate.
However, there were still three figures hovering above the salt peak where the ant tide was. Zhou Xiaohai was already a Great Overarching Golden Celestial so it was fine for him to float in the air for a long time. At this moment, he was sitting cross-legged in the air.
Zhou Xiaohai was fine, but his two followers were not. They had been hovering in the air for three days, and they were already at their limit. Moreover, the poisonous snow salt could appear at any time. They were overwhelmed.
They did not know when the endless ant tide would recede. If they did not find a place to rest, they might not even have the strength to return. At this moment, the two of them were relying on Celestial Jades to keep themselves afloat.
"Senior Zhou, we can't take it anymore," one of the Golden Celestials finally said.
"Then you can go back. Remember to come here once every five days," Zhou Xiaohai said.
The two Golden Celestials thanked Zhou Xiaohai profusely as if they had been pardoned.
They did not expect Zhou Xiaohai to look up and say, "Wait … Actually, it's quite exhausting for me to hover here. I can't do anything about the poisonous snow salt. Look at my trash Celestial Armor. It's almost rotting."
The two Golden Celestials nodded and quickly took out Celestial Jades and grade one Celestial Armors.
Zhou Xiaohai nodded in satisfaction and said, "Alright, you can go now. Remember to come here once every five days."
"Yes, yes, yes." The two Golden Celestials quickly flew away.
Zhou Xiaohai smiled proudly. He had earned over 100 Spirit Stones with just a wave of his hand. If he continued to earn like this, he would have enough money to upgrade his equipment when he became an Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial.
Meanwhile, in the belly of the mountain, Ye Kong was cultivating the Heaven Dao Energy and the Flying Catkin Energy while using Celestial Jades to nurture the Nether Soul Celestial Herb.
Ye Kong did not expect the belly of the Great Snow Mountain to be made of salt crystals. The entire mountain was a salt mountain. It seemed like although the Salt Star was barren, it was still rich.
There was a moonlight stone in the room that was made of salt crystals. The moonlight reflected off the salt crystals and made them glow in all kinds of different colors. In the middle of the stone room, Ye Kong was sitting cross-legged. In the square wooden box in front of him, the Nether Soul Immortal Grass was much bigger than before.
Grinding immortal jades to ripen immortal herbs was Ye Kong's specialty. Back in Cangbei, he was forced by Golden Immortal Shanben to do the same thing every day. However, at that time, Ye Kong was very depressed. But now, he was very happy.
A stalk of Nether Soul Immortal Grass did not require much Immortal Jade. After grinding a piece of Immortal Jade, it could be used for many days.
Ye Kong raised his hand and used his fingertips to pick up some immortal jade powder and sprinkled it on the immortal grass. However, in his heart, he was thinking: What kind of relationship does the Immortal Emperor of the South have with the Zhai family? Since Fairy Zhi Ning had already decided to kill him, why did she give him the Nether Soul Immortal Grass? Wouldn't it be convenient for her to arrange for someone to capture him the moment she entered the door? There was another important question. Why did the five Immortal Emperors want to be enemies with him?
"I really can't figure it out. Why do they all want to be enemies with me? There are no good people in Hongdong County. Is there only one Hongdong County in the Immortal World? "Ye Kong could not understand how he had offended the five Immortal Emperors.
In the end, he could only smile bitterly. "F * ck the ancestors of the Immortal Emperors. It's reasonable for them to rebel! Since you all forced me, I won't be polite with you! Whoever wants to kill me, I'll kill them without mercy! "
Of course, with Ye Kong's current ability, challenging the Immortal Emperors was tantamount to a fool's talk. To be honest, those Immortal Emperors did not even bother to deal with this little Golden Immortal. Another one was because of Uncle Hong. Otherwise, as long as one of the five Immortal Emperors came, they would not care about the ant tide at all. They would just rush in and kill Ye Kong.
Ten days passed.
The Nether Soul Celestial Herb finally blossomed into a small white flower. The flower was only the size of a grain of rice, but its fragrance was strong. Upon closer inspection, one could see glimmering lights outside the flower, illuminating Ye Kong's pleasantly surprised face.
With this, he could cultivate his Celestial Consciousness and increase his Celestial Origin Power. At that time, he would be able to raise his grade and use a grade-nine Celestial Bow!
Ye Kong quickly stood up and sealed the passage with salt crystals. With this, the stone chamber was completely sealed. The fragrance would not leak out at all. After that, Ye Kong sat cross-legged in the stone chamber and cleansed his mind. He allowed the fragrance to enter the depths of his purple mansion through his nose and nourish his Celestial Consciousness.
In the beginning, Ye Kong was worried that the flower would wither after a few days. However, after a long time, he discovered that the flower would not wither as long as it was sprinkled with Celestial Jade Powder every day. With the nourishment of the Celestial Herb, the Nether Soul Celestial Herb would not wither and would continue to emit fragrance for a long time.
Ye Kong thought greedily to himself. If he could plant a large patch of the Nether Soul Celestial Herb and live in it, he would be able to cultivate and become an Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial in no time.
Just like that, Ye Kong sprinkled Celestial Jade Powder on the flower every day to nourish his Celestial Consciousness. He could feel his Celestial Consciousness becoming stronger and the Celestial Origin Power in his body gradually increasing. The Celestial Origin Power was seven-colored Celestial Qi that was stored in his sea of Qi.
In truth, Ye Kong was slightly worried. After all, there were five Yuanying in his sea of Qi. If one cultivated in the lower realm and ascended, there would only be one Yuanying after the Form Synthesis Stage. After the Tribulation Stage, the Yuanying would fuse with the body. This was why Celestials did not have Yuanying! However, Ye Kong had five Yuanying.
This made Ye Kong feel like he was a freak. He was afraid that the dense Celestial Origin Power would harm the Yuanying. However, the truth was not as serious as he thought. After entering the Celestial World, the five Yuanying seemed to be asleep. At this moment, they were being nourished by the seven-colored Celestial Origin Power and looked normal.
Ye Kong did not know what would happen in the future. He had no choice but to let it be and cultivate in peace.
He was immersed in the joy of making progress every day. The days passed by quickly.
In the blink of an eye, a year had passed.
Gao Wenpeng and his wife were sitting in the meeting hall of the stronghold on Sunspring Mountain. The dark-skinned girl, Little Cai Xin, was standing in front of them.
Gao Wenpeng frowned and said, "Cai Xin, you'd better be obedient and follow the southern merchant to other places. It's not safe for you here."
Over the past year, Gao Wenpeng had told Cai Xin countless times that it was not safe here. The Zhai family would come to inquire about Ye Kong's situation here every few days. Although Cai Xin and Ye Kong had not been together for long and she was only Ye Kong's maidservant, the Zhai family still suspected that Cai Xin had some relationship with Ye Kong.
Fortunately, the Zhai family believed that Ye Kong was 99% dead. Therefore, they did not make things too difficult for Cai Xin.
Ni Yuqing also persuaded, "Actually, we're also worried about Friend Ye. We don't want you to leave either. However, we recently heard that the Zhai family is going to send people into the caves on Salt Peak to search again. This time, they're doing it on a large scale. They've vowed to thoroughly investigate the caves in the mountains … It's fine if Fellow Daoist Ye is dead, but if they discover that Fellow Daoist Ye is still alive, they might capture you and use you to threaten Fellow Daoist Ye … "
Gao Wenpeng also agreed, "That's right. Little Cai Xin, you know that Friend Ye is a loyal person. If you're taken by the Zhai family, Friend Ye will inevitably encounter a dilemma …"
In fact, Cai Xin refused to leave because she was worried about Ye Kong. Now that she heard Gao Wenpeng say this, she quickly said, "I understand. I'll go."
Ni Yuqing nodded and said, "You should hurry up and pack up … It's all thanks to Fairy Zhining this time. Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to leave the White Fur Region even if you wanted to."
At the foot of the Salt Peak, a small village had been temporarily built. It was different from the other villages on the Salt Peak. The people who lived here all had white skin. Immortals flew in and out of the village.
At this moment, on the central platform of the village, Di Dongliang was standing against the wind. His pair of cold eyes looked at the tall snowy mountain outside the village.
The sun shone and the thick poisonous salt on the snowy mountain reflected a seven-colored halo.
Di Dongliang didn't expect that this Ye Kong was so important. Even so, the West Deity was still worried. She wanted to find out whether this Ye Kong was dead or not!
Di Dongliang was a little depressed. He didn't know how this Ye Kong had offended the West Deity. She actually wanted him dead. What Di Dongliang couldn't figure out the most was that in the past year, several groups of people had quietly entered Salt Peak. Di Dongliang investigated and found out that these people were all from the various Immortal Emperor Residences. There was no exception.
It was all about whether Ye Kong was dead or not! Was he really dead? Could he still come back to life …
Di Dongliang really wanted to shout at them: You're still not dead after being drowned by the ant tide? Go and try it yourself!
However, he couldn't say it out loud. Wasn't there a hole in the mountainside? If Ye Kong was really dead, why would there be a hole?
Di Dongliang hated Ye Kong in his heart. If you said you were dead, then so be it. Why did you leave a hole?
Di Dongliang had gone to that hole more than once or twice. It was too small. It was obviously a salt ant hole. How could Ye Kong enter? One had to know that there were countless deadly salt ants inside!
However, the West Deity was still worried. Di Dongliang could only send death warriors down. In the past year, there were eight batches of more than twenty Golden Immortals who climbed in. However, none of them came back.
The furthest one crawled for half a mile and was finally eaten by the salt ants. Di Dongliang couldn't understand. How could Ye Kong survive in such a terrifying hole?
He felt that Ye Kong was dead. He couldn't be more dead. However, the West Deity still didn't believe it. Therefore, the largest digging operation began.
For this, the West Deity specially ordered her son to send some specially made equipment.
"Di Family Head, I've already had people teach them how to use the Flamethrower. As for the ten Anteaters, they've already recognized them as their masters." A handsome youth dressed in luxurious robes led a group of people onto the stage.
"Oh, thank you, Your Highness." Di Dongliang hurriedly bowed to Peng Wenkao. He thought to himself that he had to thank him for helping him work.
"Ah, Patriarch Di, look at what you're saying. This is our spirit of helping each other out of friendship. There's no need for you to thank us." Peng Wenkao's tone was polite, but his tone was still arrogant.
