Ch 164: A Battle Of Fate
Lu Ye carried two Treasures from the Fourth Strange Night Restricted Area.
One was a Seven-Inch Sword Chest.
One was the Void Concealing Star Disk.
At this moment, the thing producing the abnormality was the Void Concealing Star Disk.
This Treasure, refined from the carapace of the “Void Concealing Spirit Turtle”, was jet black, the size of a palm, shaped like a compass, with dense Dao Pattern naturally occurring on its surface.
When Lu Ye held this item in his hand, he saw the Dao Pattern on the surface of the compass flicker with starlight, gathering into an “arrowhead” that spun around and around.
In the end, the “arrowhead” pointed remotely towards the depths of the Mountains.
Lu Ye couldn’t help but be surprised.
Sect Leader Wen Xiujue had said that holding this Treasure could allow one to pass through some of the strange and abnormal misty areas of the Fourth Strange Night Restricted Area.
Even if one were trapped in a certain Place, they could use this Treasure to find A Line of Life.
But now he was within the Spirit Medicine Valley Secret Realm.
What did the direction indicated by the Void Concealing Star Disk foreshadow?
Lu Ye asked, “Junior Brother Meng, are there any dangerous Places distributed in this Spirit Medicine Valley?”
Meng Hao shook his head, giving a definite answer, “No.”
In the past Years, the Spirit Medicine Valley Secret Realm was opened once every ten years and has long been repeatedly scoured countless times.
Not to mention danger, even the “Strange Night Living Being” that once occupied the Secret Realm had long been wiped out.
Meng Hao said, “Junior Brother Lu, you can treat this Place as a natural medicine garden, which will breed a batch of Spiritual Medicine every ten years. The real danger is only other competitors.”
Lu Ye nodded, “Then we’ll follow the previous plan. Everyone act separately. If we encounter a Threat from other opponents, we’ll contact each other with Sect Message Talisman.”
The Nine Royal Sword Sect people all agreed.
The disadvantage of acting together was that it was difficult to collect enough Spiritual Medicine.
Therefore, no matter which Various Forces’ Successor, when exploring for Spiritual Medicine, they would act separately.
“Three days later, we’ll meet at the Entrance.”
After speaking, everyone dispersed and started acting on their own.
The Mountains stretched endlessly as far as the eye could see.
Lu Ye trekked through the mountains, using “Feng Shui Secret Art”, observing the celestial phenomena, surveying the Feng Shui trends, and discovered quite a few Spiritual Medicine along the way.
They were indeed rare and difficult to see in the outside world, but most of them could not be considered precious. According to Grade, they could only be classified as Purple Palace Grade Spiritual Medicine.
No wonder the Big Shot of Various Forces all chose to wait outside.
Clearly, they regarded the “Spirit Medicine Valley” as a Place only for their Successor to undergo a Trial.
In this way, Lu Ye traveled all the way to the depths of the Mountains, occasionally picking a Spiritual Medicine.
During this period, he also encountered some Descendants of the Star Spirit Sect and the Xie Clan.
What made Lu Ye speechless was that as soon as those guys saw him from afar, they decisively retreated.
They clearly regarded him as a flood or a wild beast, avoiding him as if they couldn’t get away fast enough.
In just half a day, Lu Ye had collected hundreds of rare Spiritual Medicine!
This kind of harvest made Lu Ye a little addicted.
There was no danger, and no one was competing with him. Whoever found it got it, so the more the better!
“Hmm? What a fine Silver Silk Green Essence Grass!”
Near a Cliff, Lu Ye’s Gaze lit up, seeing a Spiritual Medicine rooted deep in the cracks of the Cliff.
“Judging by the age, it’s at least a hundred Years old!”
Lu Ye leaped over.
Cultivate in the Nine Royal Sword Sect, one really did not have to worry about Cultivation resources.
But after all, it was only temporary.
When he Meditate and Cultivate in Qingyun Abode, simply refining the Spiritual Energy gathered in the Spirit Vein was not enough.
He also consumed about thirty High-Grade Spirit Stone every day.
By now, most of the High-Grade Spirit Stone he had accumulated had been consumed.
And among the Spoils of War he had gained after defeating those Enemy before, most were Golden Platform Grade Treasures and Spiritual Medicine needed for healing.
The Spirit Stone and Spiritual Medicine needed for Cultivation only accounted for a very small portion.
Lu Ye also understood.
When going out for training, no one could possibly bring all their belongings with them.
Especially this time coming to the Fourth Strange Night Restricted Area, everyone was coming for Opportunity, wishing they could only bring an empty sack, who would bring those extra Cultivation resources?
In the blink of an eye, Lu Ye came to one side of the Cliff.
“Dao Friend Lu, I also have my eye on this Silver Silk Green Essence Fruit.”
Suddenly, a voice came from above the Cliff.
Lu Ye looked up and saw a Gray-Haired Young Man appear, Hua Tianfeng indeed.
Thousand Night Blade Sect Core Successor!
“What a coincidence.”
Lu Ye laughed, “Then how do you think we should divide it?”
Hua Tianfeng’s Gaze revealed a dazzling Blade like lightning, saying, “Have a fight?”
Lu Ye rubbed his brow and sighed, “You respect my Lu Family and my Second Uncle. How can I be embarrassed to Act against you?”
He pointed to the Spiritual Medicine, “You can take it.”
But Hua Tianfeng shook his head and said, “Opportunity is not something to be given away, and I don’t accept such refusals.”
Lu Ye laughed, “I see, you just want to fight!”
He jumped up and came to the top of the Cliff, saying, “Then let’s Spar!”
When he first saw Hua Tianfeng, Lu Ye noticed that this Blade Cultivator who had been Demon Slayer for nineteen Years was extremely extraordinary.
He was a natural Blade Cultivator, with a domineering and solid Blade intent restrained within him, like a Blade hidden in a Sword Chest.
Outsiders could not see it, but Lu Ye could feel that this Person’s Fierce Aura was extremely astonishing!
Hua Tianfeng drew his Long Saber and sheathed it, his Gaze calm, “Please!”
In an instant, his entire Person seemed to transform into a Heavenly Blade, its Sharpness soaring into the sky, tearing apart the Long Sky clouds.
That Golden Platform Realm Late Stage Cultivation was even more terrifying than some Profound Furnace Realm Mortal Martial Ancestor!
“I am also skilled in Blade techniques, but as a Nine Royal Sword Sect Successor, I should Act with Sword Dao.”
Between Lu Ye’s raised hand, a sword appeared.
The sword was three feet two inches long, and the Blade was clear and bright, like a pool of autumn water.
When held in Lu Ye’s hand, the snow-bright Blade, as thin as a cicada’s wing, quietly bloomed with a dazzling crimson fire glow.
This sword was called Scarlet Glow.
Like the Star Stream Saber, both were from Old Zhao’s handiwork.
It was a pity that on the night Outer Sect Grand Elder Xiang Qingzhou Assassination Lu Ye, the Star Stream Saber had been destroyed.
Hua Tianfeng couldn’t help but say, “Are you a Blade Cultivator or a Sword Cultivator?”
Lu Ye laughed, “If you can win, I’ll tell you.”
Hua Tianfeng nodded, “Agreed.”
The two faced each other on the Cliff, ten zhang apart.
The ethereal clouds in the void suddenly shattered and disappeared silently.
Hua Tianfeng slowly raised the Long Saber in his hand.
Bang!
The void cracked open like cloth, creating a huge rift.
A scene like a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood emerged, staining the surroundings red.
This was what Hua Tianfeng’s Fierce Aura had transformed into!
An unparalleled and domineering Killing Aura even diffused from Hua Tianfeng, firmly locking onto Lu Ye.
That kind of Oppression made Lu Ye involuntarily think of a Personโ
Nine Royal Sword Sect Outer Sect Grand Elder Xiang Qingzhou.
In that night’s Assassination, Xiang Qingzhou, in the Profound Furnace Realm Late Stage, completely crushed Lu Ye!
But at this moment, Hua Tianfeng, a Golden Platform Realm Late Stage Blade Cultivator, already possessed a Presence comparable to Xiang Qingzhou.
How terrifying!
Spiritual Pivot Dao Sect Saint Nie Wenchuan, Xiang Clan Imperial Family Xiang Jiansong, simply could not compare to Hua Tianfeng.
Lu Ye’s skin tingled faintly, but his Gaze was deep and bright.
As he had expected, Hua Tianfeng’s Talent was special and his Foundation was strong. If those Ancestor-Level Figure saw him, they would also look at him with favor!
As his thoughts turned, Lu Ye twisted the hilt of his sword, and the Blade swept through the air, pointing remotely at Hua Tianfeng.
In this instant, Lu Ye’s Presence also changed abruptly.
