If he obtained the essence and took it out for auction … This thought flashed through his mind once before disappearing.
Even if he could obtain it, he would be courting death if he took it out.
Essence was different from Heaven-grade weapons, warships, and even Saint-level demons.
The first two could be bought with money. At most, he would have to spend some spirit stones. The Saints would not be so shameless as to snatch it.
As for Saint-level demons, although rare, they were not non-existent. Hence, they could be restrained.
However, the essence of the plants couldn't be restrained. If Mo Tiankong didn't have the system in his hands, he would definitely fight to the death for such a precious medicine.
In a world that worshipped martial arts, everyone's pursuit was nothing more than strength, longevity, and so on. Hence, they would not give up.
When the Sacred War ended, many warships, including some Wu Sheng powerhouses, spread out to search for the essence.
The reason why the Saints let so many powerhouses in came in came in handy at this time.
There was strength in numbers.
Even Saints had their limits. The Chaotic Ocean was too big.
The power of the soul was not that abnormal. Plus, the essence was good at hiding. It was not that easy to find it.
It was not that easy to find a Saint playing hide-and-seek with you.
Mo Tiankong instructed Ruyi to lock onto these Saints so that he could be the oriole.
Then, he returned to his cabin to sleep.
At dawn, Ruyi gave a warning. This group of people moved.
However, they were not far away, about a few hundred nautical miles.
Mo Tiankong secretly steered the Huaxia Ship and followed them.
However, he stopped about a hundred nautical miles away.
After analyzing last night, Mo Tiankong felt that he had determined the general direction of development.
Wait for an opportunity to snatch the essence.
When the time came, he would have to do it himself. Even if Auspicious and the other beasts hid their auras, their combat forms would have been exposed.
Last time on the floating island, Baxia, Auspicious, and the other beasts had participated in the battle.
This time, many of the Saints were familiar with them. Even if they managed to snatch it, they would be able to guess.
Since he had decided to snatch it, he naturally had to get rid of these troubles.
However, there was still a problem. He had fought with Yan Qing before. Yan Qing might be able to guess his method of hiding his aura.
Although Yan Qing did not come, it seemed that he was in seclusion during this period of time.
But if this were to spread out, it would be a problem.
He shook his head. He hadn't even managed to snatch it yet, so there was no need to think so much.
All in all, even if other Saints managed to get their hands on it, it wouldn't pose much of a threat to Mo Tiankong.
Auspicious, he had enough spirit stones to reach the Martial God Realm.
If they really didn't manage to snatch it and dared to cause trouble in the shop, they would still have to kneel.
As for why he didn't ask Auspicious to raise her cultivation base, the main reason was that he hadn't thought of this when he first arrived.
If they wanted Auspicious to break through after coming here, it would cause too much of a commotion. These Wu Sheng experts might not let Auspicious break through.
As Auspicious's cultivation base increased, the time needed to break through was also longer.
The situation didn't allow it.
Mo Tiankong felt that Auspicious's breakthrough this time was not so simple.
There would be a qualitative change, and by then, many uncontrollable things would happen.
Otherwise, Mo Tiankong would have let Ji Xiang break through long ago. Then, he would have swept through and snatched the essence of the plants.
Close to a hundred battleships worked together to seal this space, and Wu Sheng experts on the periphery were also sealing the space.
Both sides tacitly chose to work together, and this was to decide who would get it.
Sealing the space to prevent the essence from escaping, and as for who would get it in the end, it would depend on their own methods.
From the Southern Xuan Region to the Eastern Xuan Region, so many days had passed, and both sides were running out of patience.
They didn't want to drag on like this. Mo Tiankong didn't feel much, and he didn't feel that strongly.
But he could understand the mentality of these people. It was like something was right in front of you, but you couldn't get it.
Obviously, patience would run out, and now, both sides were running out of patience.
But there were exceptions to everything, and it was hard to say whether the essence was in this area or not.
Of course, it wasn't, and this area was equivalent to laying out a white cloth.
Not only that, but to prevent the oriole from behind from appearing.
Many Sages even took out array formations to set up.
But this action also made the demonic beasts a little wary.
"Roar!"
A huge sea serpent soared into the sky.
"Human, are you setting up an array to kill me?"
This sea serpent was the same as Little Black, and it had a trace of dragon bloodline. Its entire body was blue, and its snake head was showing signs of transforming into a dragon's head.
Fine blue scales covered its entire body, and its two forked horns were meandering.
Its cultivation was definitely much higher than Little Black's, and its bloodline purity was naturally much higher than Little Black's.
Mo Tiankong glanced at Little Black, and they were both sea serpents, and their appearances were quite different.
This blue sea serpent was obviously much stronger than Little Black.
If he could do it all over again, Mo Tiankong would definitely choose to subdue this sea serpent.
But it wasn't easy, after all, this sea serpent's cultivation was already at the peak of Wu Sheng's level.
Even Mo Tiankong found it tricky.
But now that he had Little Black, Mo Tiankong didn't have any thoughts of subduing it.
But its flesh was something that could allow Little Black to quickly purify its bloodline.
If the conditions were right, Mo Tiankong felt that it was necessary to kill this blue sea serpent.
With the contract, and after being together for a few months, Little Black was also his hired thug.
The fights between demonic beasts were actually more brutal than human martial artists, and Little Black might be able to increase its cultivation and purify its bloodline after swallowing this blue sea serpent.
Fights between the same race weren't uncommon, and humans weren't the same, but demonic beasts were still much more brutal than humans.
Just the fact that human empires were governed by law, and the environment was relatively safe, it wasn't something that demonic beasts could compare to.
"This array can't hurt you, right?"
The Sage who set up the array glanced at the blue sea serpent and said indifferently.
Mo Tiankong recalled that he hadn't seen this Sage before, so he should have come this time.
Gu Yan and the other two were guarding the void on the left and right, and a middle-aged martial artist was guarding the rear.
They were both attacking and defending, and even the array was protecting each other.
A large array gradually evolved, and the array directly covered the depth of tens of thousands of miles under the sea.
"Roar …"
The blue sea serpent glanced at the Sage with its two huge eyes, then sank into the sea.
"Everyone, you should leave too."
Seeing this, the old man in charge of the array continued.
This was obviously not meant for the Demonic Beast experts, but for the various major forces of the Human Race.
Because if the essence of plants appeared again, a holy war would definitely break out, and the experts on both sides wouldn't be able to divert their attention to protect these people.
There were quite a few forces here, and they were all experts and reserve Sage Realm martial artists. If they were all wiped out, it would be a huge loss.
The martial artists of the various forces were all old and experienced, and didn't say much, and directly drove the warships away from a certain range.
Even if they wanted to take advantage of the situation, now was definitely not the time. Once the Sages started fighting, it would be difficult for them to protect themselves.
These forces were also clear in their hearts, so one by one they drove the warships away.
"Boom!"
With a loud sound, the array was like a huge bowl that was buckled on the sea surface.
The array covered thousands of nautical miles of the sea, and the seawater could only flow through from both sides.
Mo Tiankong flew high enough, so even if he was within a thousand nautical miles, he was not covered by the array.
However, it was hard to choose whether to enter the array or not. If he didn't enter the array and the Green Light came out, he might not be able to get it immediately.
After all, this array was not weak, and Mo Tiankong needed a few breaths of time to break it, but for an expert like Wu Sheng, a few breaths of time was enough for him to finish what he needed to do.
If he entered the array now, it would be quite serious, as there were nearly a hundred Sages in the array.
This force could even tear a peak Sage Realm expert apart.
When the quantity reached a certain level, there would be a qualitative change.
Even a peak Wu Sheng expert would fall if he was surrounded by dozens of Sages.
For example, dozens of people were holding ordinary machetes, and one person was holding a divine weapon.
Then, even if you could kill one person, you would have to withstand the attacks of dozens of people. Even if you had a bulletproof vest, you would be cut up after a long time.
That was more or less the case. When the quantity reached a certain level, there would be a qualitative change.
One had to know that with Mo Tiankong's combat strength comparable to a peak Sage Realm expert, he still felt a sense of danger. This was the reason why.
Mo Tiankong did not drive the Huaxia Warship to descend. It was broad daylight, and only crazy people would descend.
Visibility was high, and the range of vision would also be far. Of course, Mo Tiankong did not look.
After all, they were all Sages, and their six senses were very sharp. If they stared for a long time, the other party would be able to sense and even lock on to his position.
Then, wouldn't that expose Mo Tiankong's three-dimensional map in his mind with the help of the Ruyi?
Ahem, to put it simply, since the Ruyi could scan images, it could also record videos. Now, the target was clear, and they were not moving.
If the Sages traveled through space, then the Ruyi would have no choice but to scan the three-dimensional map.
Scanning the other party would attract the other party's attention, and recording videos would be much more secretive.
On the surface of the deep blue sea, there was a large formation that seemed out of place.
It was like an invisible bowl, upside down on the surface of the sea.
Because they had not reached the deep sea region, the color of the sea was still deep blue.
In the depths of the Chaotic Ocean, the color of the sea was almost black.
It was a little scary just looking at it.
The base of the formation was in the hands of a Wu Sheng. With a Wu Sheng as a part of the formation, the formation could be set up in the sea.
Otherwise, the range of the formation would not be enough. If the base of the formation was set up at the bottom of the sea, the formation would not be able to cover the position of the sea surface.
In fact, not wanting to drag it out was actually everyone's idea. Very few of those Martial Grand Emperors could recognize that the green light was the essence of plants.
Because the green light appeared and disappeared quickly every time, some Sages could not be sure.
But the four peak Wu Sheng were sure. After living for a long time, he had seen a lot.
This formation was not an offensive formation, but a defensive one. Even if a Sage attacked, it could last for more than an hour. In addition, the formation was activated by a Wu Sheng, so it was even more powerful.
The Sages present were also afraid that other Sages would rush over. The main purpose of this formation was to prevent external Sages from entering.
An hour, an hour, if they really wanted to fight, it would be enough.
At that time, after refining the essence of plants, it would not matter even if a few more peak Sages came.
On the Huaxia ship, Mo Tiankong also frowned as he looked down. How would he enter the formation when the time came?
He did not have any foundation in formations, so he could only break the formation by force.
However, if he broke the formation by force, he would definitely alarm the people inside.
Generally speaking, when two sides fought, the onlookers would be cleared away. Moreover, it was a Wu Sheng. These Sages might join forces with the demonic beasts to attack him first.
He could wait for the essence of plants to fly to the edge of the formation, snatch it the moment he broke the formation, and then run away.
However, this depended on luck. It might not even fly over after the battle.
Mo Tiankong was not interested in such probabilities. He was not a gambler.
"That's right!"
Mo Tiankong finally remembered the half-god artifact, Hollow Shadow Stab.
This artifact had the power to break through formations and break through space.
However, could it break this large formation? A large formation controlled by a Sage was not something that those fixed formation bases could compare to.
Furthermore, Hollow Shadow Stab was an incomplete half-god artifact. Mo Tiankong did not have much confidence in it.
However, it seemed like there were only two options left.
One was to use Hollow Shadow Stab to see if he could secretly break the formation in the midst of the chaos.
As for the other option, he could only break the formation by force. However, even if it was a chaotic battle, there would be many Sages who would attack him.
However, if he really wanted to snatch the essence of plants, there would definitely be battles.
At that time, even human Sages would attack him. There was no other choice. There was only one stalk of essence.
With a thought, Hollow Shadow Stab turned into a stream of light and flew out. It was as thin as a cicada's wing and almost transparent.
Although it was an incomplete half-god artifact, as long as he gathered the other parts and used his origin energy to nourish it, it would not be difficult for it to transform into a divine artifact.
If it was not for the foundation, Mo Tiankong might not even be interested in it.
If it was a divine artifact, the more the better. Moreover, Mo Tiankong had a complete divine artifact.
Let's do it like this. I'll try to use Hollow Shadow Stab to break the formation. If it doesn't work, then I'll have to break it by force.
However, if he wanted to break the formation by force, then he would have to wait for the right opportunity. After all, he would be easily surrounded. Therefore, he had to wait for the right opportunity to strike.
However, whether it was Mo Tiankong or the Sages, the demon beasts and the others, the foundation of their plans was that the essence of plants would be trapped in the formation.
If it was not in the formation, then Mo Tiankong, as a Sage who had not entered the formation, would have the advantage of attacking first.
This also needed to be discussed. This time, the Sages had joined forces to seal the space. They must have found some clues.
It was very likely that the essence of plants had already been trapped in the formation.
Now, he just had to wait for it to appear.
Mo Tiankong activated Huaxia Ship and flew thousands of nautical miles away before stopping.
This time, he could not continue to sleep. He had already missed an opportunity.
The three Auspicious beasts could not show up this time, so Mo Tiankong put them back into the card space.
It was better to fight alone this time to avoid being exposed. Moreover, even with the three beasts, they could not fight so many Sages head-on, so there was no need to take the risk together.
Huaxia Ship was also put back into the space backpack. Mo Tiankong planned to wait in the sea.
Plop!
Mo Tiankong fell into the Chaotic Sea and swam toward the formation with the strength of his body.
Entering the sea was the best choice, but he could not use his cultivation. There were many Sages there.
