Chapter 841: Chapter 829 Ground Fire Heart Palace

Swish swish swish!

More than forty pairs of eyes from Establishment Kings pierced towards Ye Zhen, like sharp swords, in an instant, making Ye Zhen feel suffocated.

King Zhenshan looked at Ye Zhen with a cold sneer, as if wishing to devour Ye Zhen whole after driving him away!

Green Flame Gentleman Zhe Yang’s expression slightly moved; with his keen eye, he most likely understood that Ye Zhen was the one who caused King Zhenshan such a significant loss as rumors claimed.

However, Zhe Yang had set the rules, insisting on clearing all the Vein Forging Martial Artists away. If he didn’t follow through, it would be like slapping his own face.

King Zhenshan seized this opportunity to suddenly strike.

As for any plans or schemes after Ye Zhen’s departure, those remain unclear!

Suddenly, Ye Zhen boldly stepped forward to meet the gazes of over forty Establishment Kings, pointed at King Zhenshan and laughed mockingly, "King Zhenshan, you’re a defeated general under my command. If I am not qualified to search for treasure, how about you, a defeated general, what qualifies you to participate?"

"How about it? Not satisfied? If you’re not satisfied, step up, and I’ll teach you a lesson!" Ye Zhen cocked his head, looking extremely arrogant!

"You bastard, I’ll tear you apart!"

King Zhenshan’s face suddenly turned crimson, and with a furious shout, spiritual power erupted from him, ready to strike. But just as he was about to make a move, a blaze of green flames landed beside him, blocking King Zhenshan from launching his attack!

"Gentlemen, we are all Establishment Kings. Among those present, who doesn’t have grievances? There might be quite a few arch-enemies here!

However, today we are only treasure hunting, regardless of grudges!

If you want to fight, do so after finding the treasure or entering the secret mansion below, making it easier for us to hunt for treasures. But now, it’s not possible!

Everyone here has family and career, and none of you wants your precious time wasted by others, right?" Zhe Yang said.

Palace Master Zhe Yang’s words immediately gained the support of many Establishment Kings present.

Indeed, each Establishment King has a family, but also countless enemies watching them closely, ready to stab them viciously given any opportunity.

Hence, no one dares stay away from home too long because a leaked departure can ruin everything.

Under such circumstances, no one wants to waste time!

If you want to fight, go fight elsewhere, but don’t delay our treasure hunt!

This made King Zhenshan’s face flush with embarrassment, not expecting that his spontaneous idea to vent would instead make him lose face!

Unable to act but reluctant to sheathe his sword, he certainly wouldn’t want to pull Ye Zhen aside for a deadly duel.

Why bother so much effort to come here if not for treasure hunting to seek breakthroughs?

To waste an opportunity for spiritual treasures over a minor grudge, that would be foolish!

Ultimately, compelled by Zhe Yang’s persuasion, amidst Ye Zhen’s mocking laughter, King Zhenshan grudgingly dropped a few nonsensical phrases, swallowing his resentment!

However, many Establishment Kings present now looked at Ye Zhen with new eyes.

Being able to defeat King Zhenshan Hu Zhen, or rather, take advantage of him, was indeed significant.

From today, King Zhenshan’s title as the defeated opponent of Ye Zhen, a Third Stage Vein Forging Martial Artist, will haunt him for life, ready to be mocked by enemies whenever possible.

"Alright, since Young Hero Ye is so exceptionally gifted, able to rival Old Hu, Young Hero Ye will gain the qualification to search for treasures! But, I am curious and looking forward to the chance to spar with Young Hero Ye, to see how Old Hu got bested!" Zhe Yang said.

Of course, Zhe Yang’s words were merely offering King Zhenshan a graceful exit. Not waiting for Ye Zhen to speak, he immediately continued, "Based on the intelligence gathered from fellow practitioners, although the magma pit below is only ten thousand meters in radius, it’s five hundred meters deep. Breaking it open is easy; cleaning it up is not!"

"I have a plan here. I invite all fellow practitioners to cooperate, in hopes of revealing the treasure below as soon as possible!" Zhe Yang said.

Zhe Yang’s proposal naturally received a positive response from the Establishment Kings present!

"In this case, I’ll take charge of the coordination. I request those skilled in Earth Element Techniques to raise a isolation passage from the magma and pit edge in the shortest time.

Meanwhile, those proficient in Water Element Techniques and Ice Element Techniques should cooperate by rapidly cooling the magma below as the passage is being created. We need to excavate this entire magma pit to reveal the treasure beneath!"

The prestige of Zhe Yang was undeniable. With a single command from him, everyone present complied. Among the more than forty Establishment Realm Kings, eight were practitioners of Earth Element Techniques, and eleven were practitioners of Water Element Techniques, including four Establishment Realm Kings with Ice Element Spiritual Power.

Under the organization of Zhe Yang, these nineteen individuals began the excavation simultaneously from four different directions. Those Establishment Realm Kings primarily cultivating Earth Spiritual Power, including King Zhenshan, pressed their hands to the ground and shouted mightily. The soil at the edge of the pit began to churn and roll as if an earth dragon was turning the soil.

In just a few breaths, a massive trench over ten meters wide and two hundred meters deep extended along the edge of the magma pit. Simultaneously, as another Establishment Realm King behind them exerted more force, a great amount of dirt was excavated again, deepening the pit by over two hundred meters, revealing the magma below that had not yet fully solidified.

Martial Artists specializing in Water and Ice Spiritual Power simultaneously charged forward. Water vapor surged downward, instantly forming frost, causing the entire Tiger Mouth Gorge to fill with a white mist.

However, the most astonishing sight was not King Zhenshan, Hu Zhen.

In other directions, it required the cooperation of two Establishment Realm Kings to excavate a trench more than four hundred meters deep. Yet, here, merely King Zhenshan alone, with unparalleled ease, excavated a trench nearly five hundred meters deep, revealing the fiery red magma below.

Having easily excavated a pit several kilometers long and five hundred meters deep, King Zhenshan looked up and gave Ye Zhen a sinister grin.

This profound Cultivation Power left Ye Zhen utterly amazed.

On that day, it was fortunate that Ye Zhen acted first; otherwise, it’s uncertain who would have suffered.

Of course, this further solidified Ye Zhen’s belief that whenever encountering King Zhenshan, preemptively striking without hesitation was absolutely the right choice!

Apart from this, there were two other Establishment Realm Kings whose displayed power astounded Ye Zhen.

One was Chii Yulong, known as the King of Hengjiang, with a Cultivation realm reaching the Sixth Stage of Establishment. However, his Water Spiritual Power Divine Power Secret Technique was terrifyingly powerful.

In Ye Zhen’s view, the Divine Power Secret Technique demonstrated by Chii Yulong, known as the King of Hengjiang, seemed somewhat similar to his Earth Escape Skill and could truly be considered a Divine Power Secret Technique!

With a mere gesture, streams of water fell from nothingness, continuously and unceasingly, enough to fill a trench a thousand meters long and five hundred meters deep.

The other was Luo Zhu, known as the Ice Fiend King, whose Cultivation level wasn’t high, peaking at the Fifth Stage Establishment, yet his Ice Fiend Cultivation was terrifyingly powerful!

Without any noticeable movement, the boiling water above the trench, scorched by magma, instantly froze within a kilometer radius around him.

Moreover, as the chilling air dispersed around him, the fiery red magma beneath the ice rapidly vanished, a scene that made the present Establishment Realm Kings look on with amazement.

Only these two demonstrated Divine Power Secret Techniques that somewhat resembled true Divine Powers, while the performance of the other Establishment Realm Kings, though strong, did not surpass the realm of Martial Skills.

According to various Cultivation Classics, the Establishment Realm is a barrier. Once a martial artist surpasses the Establishment Realm, they will see a wider world. However, there are a few martial artists who can glimpse this wider world even before breaking through.

Ye Zhen thought that Chii Yulong, the King of Hengjiang, and Luo Zhu, the Ice Fiend King, were likely such individuals.

Ye Zhen did not count, as Ye Zhen’s Earth Escape Skill was truly a Divine Power, but currently, it was not Ye Zhen’s own skill. It was an ability obtained through the Essence Spirit Pearl of the Shadowless Mountain Penetrating Beast King inside the Mirage Dragon Pearl.

Should a day come when Ye Zhen, relying solely on the Essence Spirit Pearl of the Shadowless Mountain Penetrating Beast King, comprehends the skill of Earth Escape on his own, then Ye Zhen could be considered one of those individuals.

Under the command of the Green Flame Gentleman Zhe Yang, all forty-seven present Establishment Realm Kings, including Ye Zhen, exerted themselves to cool down the magma that would have taken several days to cool, within less than three hours.

It must be said that the Palace Master of Green Sun Palace, Zhe Yang, handled affairs fairly, at least on the surface.

For instance, those Establishment Realm Kings who exerted great effort using Earth Element and Water Spiritual Power, before lifting the magma shell completely, Zhe Yang specifically allowed them two hours to restore their consumed Spiritual Power.

Once their Spiritual Power was mostly restored, Zhe Yang gave the order, and all forty-seven Establishment Realm Kings, including Ye Zhen, collectively exerted force, flipping the mountain-heavy magma shell of ten thousand meters square and five hundred meters deep.

The scene of the ten thousand meters square magma shell being flipped over was truly spectacular.

However, no one paid attention to this. At the instant the magma shell was flipped, everyone was astonished by the five-colored treasure light that burst out from below, resembling clouds and mist.

Like a dense fog, the five-colored treasure light burst out of the massive pit as the magma shell flew up, filling the sky with colorful light.

Within the colorful light, there seemed to be an even more dazzling glow, but the dense Spiritual Power within the five-colored treasure light obscured the eye power of the martial artists, making it impossible to see clearly for some time.

As the dense five-colored treasure light gradually thinned, beneath it, a gigantic palace gate, twenty zhang high and a hundred zhang wide, appeared before everyone.

Above the palace gate was a giant plaque shimmering with colorful light.

"Ground Fire Heart Palace!" someone exclaimed in surprise! (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, please visit Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read on m.qidian.com.)
