Chapter 394: Chapter 380 Treasure Fluid (3/3)

Chapter 380: Treasure Fluid

The Sea of Consciousness boiled as the golden figure operated the Overturning Heaven Palm, causing his bones to continuously emit the sounds of the great Dao, like a grand gong or drum.

Fortunately, due to Black Donkey’s earlier disturbance, everyone had sealed their hearing with spiritual power and no one heard the grand Dao chanting within Zhou Heng’s body. Otherwise, they could have guessed that he was either about to break through or was about to master an incredible Immortal Technique!

Hum!

Zhou Heng’s eyes suddenly snapped open, and a flash of Divine Light vanished in a blink. A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, for he had finally completely mastered the Overturning Heaven Palm!

"Donkey!" Zhou Heng picked up Black Donkey, which was still hum and hawing, and walked toward the stone door.

Just as Black Donkey was about to speak, it quickly covered its mouth with its hooves, as its sly nature allowed it to guess Zhou Heng’s intention—he had learned the Overturning Heaven Palm!

What a monster!

Even as the Divine Donkey, it had only mastered a little over one-third of the technique and would need at least another five days and nights for full comprehension!

But for Greedy Black Donkey, treasure was the most important thing. Matters like face and pride... could they be eaten? What use were they? Even if Zhou Heng hadn’t dragged it along, had it discovered what was happening, it would have clung to Zhou Heng’s trouser leg and followed!

Zhou Heng arrived at the stone door, set Black Donkey down, and transformed his palms, forming an extremely complex palm seal that he ferociously slapped onto the stone door.

Something eerie happened—his palm struck as if it were a mud cow entering the sea, both hands completely absorbed into the stone door. A torrential, unstoppable force pulled him through, dragging his whole being inside.

Upon seeing this, Black Donkey hurriedly bit onto Zhou Heng’s leg, wanting to follow him in, but with a thud, it slammed into the stone door, which was extremely hard, while Zhou Heng had already disappeared.

Turns out, the door wasn’t open, but those who learned the Overturning Heaven Palm could pass through!

Black Donkey felt like crying without tears; was this not tricking the donkey? They couldn’t play like this!

Hiss!

The other competitors, though engrossed in studying the Overturning Heaven Palm, enveloped the whole room with their Divine Intent, monitoring every move. They weren’t familiar with one another; some were even mortal enemies. How could they lower their guard?

They all saw the scene of Zhou Heng entering through the stone door!

This kid has mastered the Overturning Heaven Palm!

Such a fiend!

No good, they must speed up, otherwise Gu Yan’s inheritance would inevitably fall into Zhou Heng’s hands! This kid was already defying heaven, and if he gained an Immortal-level inheritance, who else could contend with him!

...

Zhou Heng involuntarily plunged through the other side of the stone door, and with a splash, he fell into a pool, causing countless water splashes.

Huh?

He had intended to stand up immediately, but upon sensing the boundless pure energy in the water, he immediately discarded the thought and instead sat cross-legged, operating the Falling Snow True Scripture to absorb and refine this treasure fluid.

It seemed to be Gu Yan’s reward to those who passed the trial. Since that was the case, he, of course, saw no reason not to accept it.

But before that, Zhou Heng still glanced around, taking in the surrounding environment at a glance.

This room was also made of stone, not large, about two zhang long and half a zhang wide, appearing very narrow. The stone door he came through was at one end, but the other end was open, with no indication of where it led.

Presumably, there were more trials to come. Gu Yan had many requirements; it was naturally impossible to obtain his inheritance by merely passing a single trial.

Zhou Heng was not in a hurry. He was the first to arrive, and even if someone else broke in, he could assess the situation and leave the room with them, without falling behind.

Vast, pure energy flowed into his body, easily absorbed and refined into his own spiritual power, rapidly boosting his accumulation of spiritual power. Not only that, but the water seemed to nourish him like a womb does a child, nurturing both his Divine Sense and spiritual power in tandem.

With every insight, profound mysteries of the starry sky unfolded, leading to deep realizations.

This water was a treasure, able to enhance a martial artist’s spiritual power, Divine Sense, and comprehension in all aspects!

Zhou Heng rejoiced, intending to take out containers like bowls or cups from the Nine Mystic Trial Tower to scoop up some of the treasure water to take back for his parents, loved ones, and friends. However, he tragically discovered that he couldn’t access the Nine Mystic Trial Tower with his Divine Sense.

Space Artifacts couldn’t be used!

That Gu Yan really was stingy!

Since that was the case, he just had to absorb as much as he could now—better yet, all of it!

Zhou Heng became determined; every pore in his body opened, ceaselessly drawing in energy from the water. Who knew when the second person would come in? With each additional person, naturally, he would absorb less, so he had to scoop up all the benefits for himself as much as possible.

His accumulation of spiritual power kept rising, and the golden figure grew stronger as well.

Due to his Dantian space being vast—six hundred forty times that of an ordinary Nascent Soul Realm martial artist—he could indeed crush all Nascent Soul Realm competitors. However, this also meant that the time he needed to accumulate spiritual power was six hundred forty times more than that of an ordinary Nascent Soul Realm martial artist!

If he were to rely on his own cultivation, his nearly three thousand year lifespan wouldn’t be enough to complete the accumulation of spiritual power. But the world was not short of heavenly and earthly treasures, which gave Zhou Heng the opportunity to maintain rapid advancement in cultivation while also crushing competitors of the same realm!

After four days and nights, he suddenly opened his eyes, his body wrapped in an incomparably dense spiritual power, like an immortal descending from the ninth heaven.

He had reached the Peak Second Layer Heaven of the Nascent Soul Realm!

Zhou Heng closed his eyes again, without hesitation, he began to break through to the Third Layer Heaven of the Nascent Soul Realm, confident in his own strength.

Breaking through minor realms was easy for him; after half a day, his body trembled, and he had entered the Third Layer Heaven of the Nascent Soul Realm with nature’s spiritual energy cleansing him, as he swiftly stabilized his realm.

Continue!

The water still contained a vast amount of energy; perhaps enough to support his breakthrough to the Divine Infant Realm!

If he could really break through to the Divine Infant Realm, then, looking around the present world, who would be his match?

Thud!

Water splashed about as the second person to have learned the Overturning Heaven Palm finally emerged, just like Zhou Heng before, plummeting straight into the pool as if all cultivation had left her.

Her wet clothes clung to her body, revealing every detail.

Zhou Heng could not help but choke up because this second person was none other than the Moon Shadow Saintess!

She was already a super beauty on the same level as Ying Mengfan, a ravishing beauty that appeared once every few decades or centuries. Now, her wet clothes clung to her body, outlining her perfect figure.

Already breathtaking, her partially wet hair and snow-white skin dotted with water droplets made her beauty even more heart-stopping, enough to turn even a virtuous gentleman into a beast in a heartbeat.

"Ah—," the Moon Shadow Saintess let out a short, sharp exclamation. She hadn’t expected that behind the door would be a pool, and even less so that she would lose control and plunge headfirst into it!

And to top it off, Zhou Heng was still here!

She had already suffered a loss at Zhou Heng’s hands, having been spanked by this scoundrel of a kid, which was a humiliation! Now alone with him, she immediately remembered that blush-inducing incident. She quickly knelt down and shielded her chest with her hands.

But she also knew that with the memory of someone at the Nascent Soul Realm, how could he forget something he had seen just once?

Why was that guy still here? Just as the Moon Shadow Saintess raised this question, she immediately felt the astonishing energy fluctuations within the pool and was both shocked and elated, realizing why.

She could break through the Divinity Transformation Realm by absorbing this energy!

To break through to the Divinity Transformation Realm!

In an era where the Martial Path was declining and the Divinity Transformation Realm had disappeared, to be the first to break through to the Divinity Transformation Realm, to become the strongest in the world, what a massive temptation that was! And, with such a breakthrough, she would be able to suppress Zhou Heng, this truly despicable person, in the palm of her hand!

With this thought, the Moon Shadow Saintess naturally refused to get up and leave; instead, she wanted to take out a piece of clothing from her space container to cover and layer herself, to prevent Zhou Heng’s thieving eyes from seeing more of her springtime beauty.

However, she immediately discovered with astonishment that she couldn’t use her space artifact at all!

After a moment of shock, she understood that if that were not the case, Zhou Heng would have already taken all the treasure water for himself, leaving none for her!

Now the question was, should she immediately start absorbing the benefits, or should she leave the pool to prevent Zhou Heng from taking more advantage of the situation?

But she quickly found that Zhou Heng was not paying her any extra attention. He was closing his eyes, desperately absorbing the energy from the water!

This scoundrel!

The Moon Shadow Saintess’s thoughts were indeed peculiar; on one hand, she did not want Zhou Heng to take advantage of her, but when Zhou Heng truly ignored her, it stirred up a strong feeling of indignation within her.

This blind wretch!

She hurriedly suppressed this restlessness, now was not the time to think about such random things!

Time should not be wasted, with each passing second, Zhou Heng would absorb more of the pool’s energy. Her best form of revenge was to absorb as much of the pool’s benefits as possible, and let Zhou Heng cry about it!

And what’s more, there might be a third or a fourth person entering soon; should she let so many people see her nearly naked state?

The Moon Shadow Saintess forcefully pressed down her feelings of humiliation, sat cross-legged, absorbing the endless benefits through every pore. Such an opportunity was too rare; she couldn’t even care about revealing too much in front of Zhou Heng!

Neither of them made a sound, but inside their bodies, there was significant activity, frantically absorbing the benefits of the pool without a moment’s pause.

One hour, five hours, ten hours!

Both stopped at the same time, not out of courtesy to each other, but because the energy in the pool was ultimately devoured by them both.

The Moon Shadow Saintess immediately leaped out of the pool, her spiritual power steaming around her; her long dress instantly dried, fluttering lightly like a fairy untouched by the dust of the world.

Thud! Thud!

Just then, two more individuals collided into the place, tumbling into the pool.
