Chapter 333: Chapter 321 Terrifying Cultivation Movements (1/3)

"Zhou, the next time I’ll join you in making a fortune!" After leaving the Three Yang Ancient Land, Black Donkey immediately took off running.

Given its greedy nature, it would normally stick to Zhou Heng like glue, trying to steal the Crystal Peach. However, with Huo Tian present, its fear completely overwhelmed its greed.

Watching the donkey dash off as if its tail were on fire, Zhou Heng couldn’t help but burst into hearty laughter.

Although Huo Tian possessed unfathomable strength, her Cultivation Level was as low as it could get. Zhou Heng either had to hire a horse-drawn carriage to travel slowly or carry her on his back; relying on her legs to traverse the full distance was utterly impractical.

As he sat in the swaying carriage, he began to miss the Ice Phoenix Lady’s Flying Artifact, with its provisions for both food and shelter. How nice that was!

He had to get one for himself!

Zhou Heng suddenly remembered that he hadn’t yet attempted the sixth challenge of the Nine Mystic Trial Tower, and now he was at the Cultivation Level of the Spirit Sea Realm!

Thinking of this, he quickly spoke to Huo Tian and asked her to wait for him alone for a while.

"Go ahead!" said Huo Tian with imposing magnificence, as if she were a high and mighty Queen. In just a few days, she had developed her own commanding presence, majestic and dignified, commanding with every gesture.

If anyone else had been so haughty, it surely would have provoked aversion. Yet Huo Tian’s beauty surpassed her haughtiness, as if everything she did was inherently correct, and those who opposed her were the truly unforgivable ones, deserving to be pierced by a thousand arrows.

The Queen’s aura grew increasingly powerful!

Zhou Heng mused to himself and in a thought, he had entered the Nine Mystic Trial Tower, taking on the challenge of the Seventh Layer.

Bang, bang, bang! With a few swift moves, he took down the enemies on that layer, and immediately an item fell from the sky. Zhou Heng quickly reached out, caught the object, and instantly received information in his mind.

Blazing Heaven Wings!

Two massive wings, each measuring a ’zhang’ in length, which could be attached to the back. With just a thought, one could break through the air and fly swiftly. As long as Spiritual Stones were provided continuously, one could fly non-stop, even to the Ends of the Earth.

Zhou Heng involuntarily grimaced. What he wanted was a large flying vessel like a boat or ship, not for a single person!

Could it be because he had not reached the Second Layer Heaven of the Spirit Sea before taking on the challenge, and that’s why the reward had diminished?

Yet even with diminishment, it had been greatly exaggerated. The flying vessels like boats or ships were much larger and heavier, and by comparison, these bird wings were pitifully small!

Zhou Heng sighed. But the Nine Mystic Trial Tower, even if it was a merchant, was a cunning one; once goods were sold, they were strictly non-returnable, and he had no choice but to accept it.

Leaving the Treasure Pagoda, he saw Huo Tian lying in an extremely seductive yet supremely elegant pose, beautiful from every angle. It wasn’t just her face that was stunningly beautiful; her body was flawless too.

Her firm, high breasts, her slender waist just big enough to encircle with one’s hands, her round and protruding hips, all exuded irresistible charm.

For a moment, Zhou Heng was completely mesmerized.

He always considered himself not lustful, surrounded by many women for various reasons, and not because he truly fell for any particular woman. However, in the presence of Huo Tian, he finally realized he was quite ordinary after all.

This Peerless Heavenly Maiden had successfully captured his heart!

Yet unlike Ma Buqian, who was utterly infatuated, or the Three Yang Heavenly Venerate, who outright denied her gender, Zhou Heng would never grovel or become a pervert. He simply liked this woman, feeling a strong desire in his heart to spend his life with her.

Love at first sight defies reason; feelings that grow over time amount to kinship, not love.

Zhou Heng smiled and said, "Are you that idle?"

"Hmm!" Huo Tian straightened up and stretched, her body curving in a way that was unspeakably graceful. The Peerless Heavenly Maiden’s every move was filled with beauty, heart-lifting and pleasant to behold.

Zhou Heng couldn’t help but wonder what sort of stir she would cause if she simply walked down the street.

Meng Fan, a woman so beautiful she only comes once in a hundred years, already drove the people of Bright Moon Country’s Imperial Capital mad. When she disappeared years ago, many men killed themselves out of "unrequited love." If it were Huo Tian instead...

Perhaps just showing her face on the street would compel countless people to end their lives immediately.

Having beheld her unparalleled beauty, everything else seemed unbearably ugly by comparison—how could one endure such contrast? Only those with great fortitude, like Sang Qingshan, Yang Zhan, or the Ice Phoenix Lady, could manage not to gaze upon her, trying their hardest to forget her.

Setting aside her strange abilities, her mere beauty was an unbeatable weapon!

Zhou Heng believed that if she wished to unite the Xuanqian Continent, she wouldn’t need the power the Great Eternal Emperor had to suppress the past and future; simply standing there and speaking softly would be enough—who could refuse her?

Her beauty was universal, indiscriminate of gender—obliterating!

It was uncertain whether it would be equally effective on the Alien Races, but considering even the Black Donkey drooled profusely over her, the Alien Races would be no exception.

"Let me teach you Cultivation!" Zhou Heng said.

"Alright," Huo Tian responded indifferently, her composure and nobility intensifying each day, as if she were born to a line of ancient nobles, every hair brimming with elegance.

Zhou Heng began teaching her the Falling Snow True Scripture. After only one recitation, Huo Tian had memorized it thoroughly and grasped its essence completely, not requiring any explanation from Zhou Heng.

She closed her enchanting, gem-like eyes and began to cultivate.

Boom!

Nature’s spiritual energy began to whirl, madly rushing into her body.

All of Xuanqian Continent plunged into chaos!

Every Martial Path Holy Land experienced an overflow of Spiritual Energy; even their formations designed to gather Spiritual Power were useless. It was as if Xuanqian Star itself was a small pond being easily drained dry.

The distant East Spirit Mountain, with its five peaks bathed in radiant light, transformed into a snow-white jade hand, luminous as a fairy, shimmering with Divine Radiance. Majestic power surged, seeking to halt the escape of Spiritual Energy, but when compared to the overpowering force of extraction, it appeared utterly insignificant and powerless!

The East Spirit Immortal Pond trembled violently!

...

Death Forest.

Black mist swirled, taking on the vague form of a human figure, its features difficult to discern. Nonetheless, one could see the extreme shock on his face as he murmured, "What is happening? Isn’t there supposed to be about three more years?"

"Could it already be time? It seems that I, Venerate, must take action!"

"Shi Shang, I have healed your wounds. You will leave today and survey the situation in the world for me!"

...

The mysterious underground world.

Kong Aokun, whose tireless running suddenly halted, was enveloped in a swirling red demonic aura like dancing flames: "Which Immortal is this, cultivating in the Mortal Realm? Such a terrifying speed of absorbing Spiritual Energy, even I am far from being a match!"

"Do they not fear that the depletion of Spiritual Energy will lead to the death of all things?"

His eyes suddenly flashed blood-red, and his expression turned fierce. With a maniacal laugh, he roared, "Die, let them all die, everything in the world is killable!"

...

In some corner.

"Big sister, I see a shadow over your brow, foretelling a catastrophe of blood and light!" Old Swindler was energetically peddling his useless Talismans under a footbridge, calling out to a middle-aged woman in her forties.

"Old man, who are you calling ’big sister’?" the middle-aged woman retorted unhappily.

"Old man—huh!" The sleazy look on Old Swindler’s face vanished instantaneously, replaced by a demeanor brimming with the air of an Immortal, "People from the Immortal Realm? What’s causing such a commotion? Do they want to destroy Xuanqian Star?!"

"I must go and see for myself!"

Whoosh, his figure flickered and vanished into thin air like a specter.

"Master!" Watching this miracle, the middle-aged woman immediately regretted her earlier skepticism.

...

The entire Xuanqian Continent was shaken. Such a terrifying overflow of Spiritual Power was nothing short of a disaster; in just a few hours, perhaps even less, the entirety of the continent’s Spiritual Energy would be drained dry, turning it into a barren and dead star, and the Martial Path would wither completely!

In ancient times, the Great Eternal Emperor alongside several Divinity Transformation Realm Heavenly Venerates fought a great war, likewise depleting countless Spiritual Energy from Xuanqian Star, leading to martial prowess’s peak and subsequent decline. It took tens of thousands of years for vitality to barely recover. Yet, to this day, not a single Divinity Transformation Realm Heavenly Venerate has emerged, which shows the terrifying impact of that battle!

But compared to the present situation, the actions of the Great Eternal Emperor back then would seem like child’s play!

Everyone displayed anxious expressions, yet with no power to change the tide, they could only hope in their hearts.

"Stop! Stop now!" Zhou Heng too was deeply startled. He did not realize that the Spiritual Energy of the entire Xuanqian Star was being drawn by Huo Tian, but he could sense just how terrifying the absorbed Spiritual Energy was!

The Spiritual Energy condensed into liquid, compressing, compressing, compressing until it formed chunks of Spirit Stones!

No, not Spirit Stones. Even Upper Grade Spirit Stones were not so solidified!

This was a Spirit Core!

Heavens, she was merely practicing the Falling Snow True Scripture!

How does a Spirit Core form? It requires at least a Middle Grade Spirit Stone Mine, billions of years of transformation, nourishment from nature, before potentially taking shape. And from one Spirit Stone Mine, only one Spirit Core can emerge!

Yet she... merely cultivated for a bit, oh, the mercy of the heavens!

One must know that prior to this, she hadn’t even stepped onto the Martial Path, not reaching the Body Refinement First Layer, logically unable to directly absorb nature’s Spiritual Energy, only capable of Refinement of the food she consumed!

Directly absorbing nature’s Spiritual Energy is something that only a Martial Artist in the Spirit Gathering Realm can accomplish!

But a prodigy is a prodigy!

At Zhou Heng’s shout, Huo Tian stopped, opening her captivating phoenix eyes with a natural stern momentum, and asked, "Why?" Her brows furrowed slightly, seemingly quite displeased.

Zhou Heng was momentarily tongue-tied, simply staring at this being who was even more of an anomaly than he, but then his eyes narrowed sharply, and said, "Why hasn’t your Cultivation Level changed at all?"

She was still in the Body Refinement Realm, not even breaking through the Body Refinement First Layer!

How could this be!

Even though she was interrupted by Zhou Heng while she was cultivating, the sheer amount of Spiritual Energy that had gathered was terrifying, terrifying to the extent that it even surpassed the total Zhou had accumulated throughout his Cultivation!

Far surpassed it!

Had that amount of Spiritual Energy been forcefully bestowed upon him, he would not have immediately become an Immortal, but he would definitely have breached the Divinity Transformation Realm!

Yet this woman had not even broken through the Body Refinement First Layer!

Zhou Heng felt like fainting! (To be continued. If you enjoyed this work, please visit qidian.com to cast your vote for recommendation or monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to continue reading.)
