Chapter 731: 729, Soul Snatching

Lu Hanmo threw out a Formation Flag again, and the little grove suddenly vanished, revealing a spacious grand hall in front of him; in the center of the hall was a huge sacrificial altar.

In front of the altar stood a long rectangular table with seven wooden boxes arranged in sequence.

Lu Hanmo walked towards it, glanced at a few wooden boxes, and just as he was about to pick one up, he heard footsteps behind him. Turning his head, he saw Luo Qianyu, disheveled, also entering the grand hall.

"Hanmo," Luo Qianyu said with a smile as he approached. He had already taken a healing elixir and initially thought he would face several more battles, but, unexpectedly, he found himself in this grand hall.

"These wooden boxes must correspond to something; you can only pick the one from the passage you came from," Lu Hanmo said, pointing at the wooden boxes on the table in front of him.

Luo Qianyu stretched out his hand to try and found that indeed he couldn’t pick up the wooden boxes not corresponding to the passage he came from. He then reached for the wooden box belonging to his own passage and, as expected, was able to grab it directly.

Opening the wooden box, he saw inside it three Immortal Crystals, a drop of the Undying Tree’s essence, and a Tribulation Pill.

Luo Qianyu picked up the Jade Bottle containing the Tribulation Pill and handed it to Lu Hanmo, "Give this elixir to Shushu." Even if his strength reached the peak of tribulation transcendence in the future, he wouldn’t choose Ascension. With such a huge gap in strength between Xiao Xuexue and him, what would happen to Xiao Xuexue and the children if he ascended?

He knew Shushu needed this Tribulation Pill since she had mentioned Xiao Qing and the Long Jing to him. In the future, she and Lu Hanmo would surely ascend to the Immortal Realm to help Xiao Qing and the others.

"Sure!" Lu Hanmo reached out and took the Jade Bottle. Given the relationship between Luo Qianyu and Shushu, there was no need for him to stand on ceremony with Luo Qianyu.

After putting away the Jade Bottle, Lu Hanmo reached for his own wooden box and opened it to find six Immortal Crystals, three drops of the Undying Tree’s essence, plus a Tribulation Pill and an Immortal Charm Pill.

"The contents of your wooden box are double mine," Luo Qianyu said in surprise.

"Shushu said the more dangerous it is, the greater the reward," Lu Hanmo replied with a curve of his lips. The trials he had just experienced had improved his Formation skills to a new level.

"You are here too?" Just as Lu Hanmo put away his wooden box, a voice carrying a hint of surprise came from Hua Mengran behind him.

"We just arrived; the wooden boxes on the table are our rewards for this time, but you can only take the wooden box corresponding to the passage you came from," Luo Qianyu explained, pointing at the wooden boxes on the table.

Hearing this, Hua Mengran looked at the wooden boxes with excitement, "What are the rewards?"

She opened the wooden box with anticipation and saw only two Immortal Crystals inside, which made her a bit disappointed, "That’s it? Well, it’s better than nothing." These were at least Immortal Crystals, which were hard to come across on an ordinary day.

"You have all arrived," Yun Han’s voice emerged from nearby.

"Just did," Hua Mengran shook the wooden box in her hand, pointing at those on the table, "These are our rewards for this time. You take the wooden box corresponding to the passage you came through. Go on, open yours and see what the reward is. My reward was only two Immortal Crystals." She also wanted to know what rewards Lu Hanmo and Luo Qianyu had received but didn’t feel comfortable asking since she wasn’t well-acquainted with them.

Yun Han nodded with a smile, stepped forward, and picked up the wooden box corresponding to him, opening it to reveal two Immortal Crystals, a drop of the Undying Tree’s essence, and a Tribulation Pill.

"Indeed, you got more than me," Hua Mengran muttered sullenly, pouting as she put away her wooden box. The rewards must have been allocated based on the difficulty of the tasks; considering how easily she passed her challenge, getting two Immortal Crystals wasn’t too bad.

"Let’s get out of here," Luo Qianyu said.

Hua Mengran looked around, "The passages we came through have all disappeared; how do we leave?"

"The altar," Lu Hanmo spoke. Long Jing had already told him the way out.

Luo Qianyu and the other two looked towards the altar together.

Lu Hanmo stepped forward, ascending the steps to the altar to find that four meditation cushions had unexpectedly appeared.

Stopping beside one of the meditation cushions, Lu Hanmo sat down cross-legged.

Luo Qianyu and the others followed him onto the altar, taking their seats on the meditation cushions as well.

"There’s a teleportation array here," Lu Hanmo glanced at the three of them, waved his hand, and scattered several Formation Flags.

Then, a dazzling white light emanated from the altar.

The white light enveloped the four of them and they felt their bodies lighten, being swept into it.

When Lu Hanmo opened his eyes, he found he was still sitting on the altar, but Luo Qianyu and the others had vanished without a trace.

"I’ve waited so long, and finally, a suitable body has come, hahaha..." The voice that had appeared earlier echoed once more.

Then, a white figure appeared in front of Lu Hanmo, laughing triumphantly.

"Where are my companions?" Lu Hanmo asked calmly.

"You’re still worried about others now? Rest assured, they’ve all gotten out. But as for you, you have to stay here," the white figure squinted its eyes, scrutinizing Lu Hanmo contentedly. It had waited so long and had finally found a body it was satisfied with. Once it took over this body, it believed it wouldn’t be long before it could ascend to the Immortal Realm again.

"You want to snatch my body?" Lu Hanmo immediately understood the other’s intention.

"You’re smart. Since you’re so clever, I’ll tell you the truth; I built this relic just to find a suitable body to possess," the white figure said with a smile. It had been in the Qiushan Mountain Realm for tens of thousands of years, and the relic had been activated countless times, but it had never found a body that satisfied it. If it had to wait another hundred years without success, its soul would dissipate.

"That depends on whether I’m willing to let you possess me," Lu Hanmo spoke indifferently, his voice cold and emotionless.

"I admit you’ve got some skills, but this isn’t for you to decide," the white figure chuckled coldly. Although its cultivation had decreased substantially, could it, a Golden Immortal, truly not deal with a youngster in the Mahayana Realm?

"Stop struggling. Just let me possess you nicely, and I will grant you a comfortable death. Otherwise, don’t blame me for refining your soul and condemning you to an eternity without transcendence," the white figure cackled and lunged at Lu Hanmo.

But in the next moment, it was bound by an overpowering presence.

"You want to possess a body, but have you asked for my opinion?" An ice-cold and bone-chilling voice came from behind.

Long Jing walked slowly towards the white figure, eyes frigid as he observed it.

The white figure couldn’t help but tremble, its already pale face turning even whiter, "Who... who are you?" It felt an aura more powerful than its own coming from the other.
