Chapter 209: Chapter 194: Integration Ground!_1

Under the veil of night.

Pang Jian gazed at the giant umbrella as he thought of the hypocritical visage of Liang Ying, as well as her pursuit of him at Jade Lake.

"It looks like everyone has received the message, knowing that the Alien Tribes are at the end of their tether, planning to switch from defense to offense at the moment the Alien Tribes are completely defeated, to hunt the Alien Tribes and Ferocious Beasts to accumulate wealth."

Huang Qi chuckled with a sinister grin, his mouth wide, "Level five, level six Ferocious Beasts, their whole bodies are treasure, the scale armor of a level six Devil Scale Tribe warrior, the sole eye of the Cyclops, as well as the heart of the Wood Tribe, and the skin of the Ghost Clan."

"Tsk, tsk, these physically mighty Alien Tribe warriors, every inch of their bodies is a fine material."

"The Blood Moon is particularly skilled at skinning and deboning, handling these powerful Alien bodies."

Huang Qi’s pupils showed a ferocious glint.

It was clear he also planned to take a share of the spoils when the Alien Tribes fell apart.

Pang Jian kept silent.

All of a sudden!

Despite not having established a perception with the Mysterious Turtle, and without actively communicating on its part, he somehow sensed the Mysterious Turtle.

"Boom!"

The Yuan Mang Fragmented Land trembled slightly.

Pang Jian saw clearly that the Nameless Fragmented Land in which the Mysterious Turtle was hidden was now upside down and merging with the Yuan Mang Fragmented Land from below.

The Mysterious Turtle had actually arrived successfully!

In an instant, a profound and mysterious feeling of Enlightenment also emerged in Pang Jian’s mind.

He suddenly acquired a high-altitude perspective.

All the warriors from the Heaven Clan and the Devil Scale Tribe gathered around the first peak, including those from the Wood Tribe hidden in the dense foliage and even within tree hollows, as well as the Ghost Clan warriors lurking inside certain caves.

None could escape his concentrated gaze!

Cao Mang, Madam Hua, Jiuyuan, Yang Rui, and all cultivators congregating at the summit of the first peak were also within his sight!

The various clan elders from great families and individual cultivators scattered in valleys, forests, and lakes were all clearly visible to him, no matter how they hid their presence.

With a bit more focus, he was even able to listen to their conversations, to feel the vitality of their flesh and blood, to discern the strength of the Spiritual Power within their Spiritual Sea.

He was like a God Spirit governing the Yuan Mang Fragmented Land, able to see all creatures within his domain.

He also saw a sinuous, crystalline thread, like a snake winding around, deep within the heart of the first peak.

"Underground Spirit Vein!"

He immediately knew that it was the Spirit Vein hidden deep within Yuan Mang, which was also the key to the miraculous abilities of the "Heavenly Killing Spirit Array."

He soon spotted, within the smaller fragmented lands beneath Yuan Mang, the Mysterious Turtle which had grown many times larger, restlessly moving about, planning to divert this Spirit Vein in its own way.

"Wait a second!"

Pang Jian hastily called out in his mind.

The Mysterious Turtle, which was aiming for the Spirit Vein and suppressing its own Divine Skills, sent out an inquiring thought.

"The Spirit Vein will definitely belong to you, but we must wait for a better opportunity."

Pang Jian soothed the Mysterious Turtle, urging it to not be hasty.

Then, he surreptitiously listened to the conversations of the invading Alien Tribes as well as those of Cao Mang, Jiuyuan, and the others.

He quickly learned that Cao Mang, relying on the strange power of the "Heavenly Killing Spirit Array," was not worried at all now.

Cao Mang and people like Jiuyuan were discussing that after these Alien Tribes launched another attack on the mountain summit, after another batch of elite warriors perished, after killing one or two more level six Ferocious Beasts, they were preparing to launch a counteroffensive against the Alien Tribes.

The group composed of clan elders from the Third Realm families and individual cultivators, along with Liang Ying who had returned from afar, intended to coordinate with them.

Pang Jian saw that beneath the giant umbrella controlled by Liang Ying, there was Fang Boxuan of the Blood Moon, communicating with Jiuyuan through a Blood Talisman.

On another side.

The Alien Tribes, led by Yu Gu of the Heaven Clan, called together the leaders of the Ghost Clan, Devil Scale Tribe, and Wood Tribe, also deciding to hold back and try again later.

They always felt that the immense strength of the Underground Spirit Vein, the core of the "Heavenly Killing Spirit Array," was about to be exhausted, so they were not willing to give up.

They planned to use the remaining combat strength to make one last assault on the mountain peak, aiming to kill key figures like Cao Mang.

From the mouths of some deceased Human Race cultivators, they learned that people like Cao Mang and Madam Hua, as well as a few others like Jiuyuan at the Spirit Condensation Realm, held items desperately needed by their people in the Lower Realm.

If they could kill Cao Mang and the others and obtain the storage bracelets in their hands, they would not need to wait for such an opportunity like this one.

The warriors of the Lower Realm might even have the hope of breaking the millennia-long seal of the Heavenly Tribulation Pillar, sending stronger tribe members to the Upper Realm.

As the Heaven Clan could fly, and the Devil Scale Tribe had black winged dragons, the moment the "Heavenly Killing Spirit Array" was announced broken, they planned on a desperate gamble to quickly kill Cao Mang and the others, grab the more precious Spiritual Materials, and immediately retreat from Yuan Mang at top speed.

A great battle was on the verge of erupting.

The key to this battle was the "Heavenly Killing Spirit Array" firmly held by Cao Mang, and the Underground Spirit Vein!

Pang Jian, seeing through the grand scheme, after soothing the Mysterious Turtle once more, began to experience the mystery of "Integration."

He tried to observe Huang Qi in front of him through the Mysterious Turtle.

He saw that beneath Huang Qi’s heart, there was a special place filled with roiling blood mist, forming an expansive sea of deep red fog.

"Creation Divine Pool!"

Pang Jian exclaimed inwardly, recognizing that Huang Qi was also cultivating the Great Creation Sacred Body, and to a high level at that.

After a moment of silent sensing, he believed that the surging Qi and Blood emanating from Huang Qi’s body could compare to a level six Ferocious Beast!

Apart from that, inside Huang Qi’s not-so-vast Spiritual Sea, each thread of Spiritual Power was extremely refined.

He deduced that each thread of Huang Qi’s Spiritual Power contained strength potentially several times over his own.

"Reaching the Spirit Condensation Realm, the Spiritual Sea will expand once more, and the Spiritual Power will condense even more essences."

A verse from the "Pot Heaven Nourishing Qi Spell" flashed through his mind.

Pang Jian instantly understood that Huang Qi was not at the Hollow Profound Realm at all, but was a greatly accomplished Great Cultivator from the Spirit Condensation Realm.

With a Creation Divine Pool meant for storing Blood and Flesh Essence Energy, this individual’s combat prowess was so formidable it could likely rank at the forefront in the entire Yuan Mang!

No wonder he dared to vehemently criticize Cao Mang and Madam Hua at the trading venue, no wonder he dared to seek revenge in Yuan Mang’s territory.

With a thought, Pang Jian, perceiving with a godlike vision, once more turned his attention to Liang Ying of the Star River Alliance.

He saw at a glance that Liang Ying’s Spiritual Sea was similar to Huang Qi’s, with exceptionally pure and condensed spiritual power, but Liang Ying didn’t have a special acupoint reserved for storing Qi and Blood.

With her Spirit Condensation Realm cultivation, above Liang Ying’s Spiritual Sea, there were seven dazzling stars.

The stars within Liang Ying’s Spiritual Sea, though fewer in number than those in his own, were noticeably larger.

His curiosity piqued, he cast another glance at Xie Xiwen’s Spiritual Sea.

In Xie Xiwen’s not-so-large Spiritual Sea, there were dozens of stars, far surpassing the number in Liang Ying’s, appearing resplendent and mysterious.

They were just slightly smaller.

Concentrating his consciousness, he then set his sights on Fang Boxuan of the Blood Moon, observing the extraordinary Blood and Flesh Essence Energy stored in an acupoint above Fang Boxuan’s navel.

Connected to that acupoint, every one of Fang Boxuan’s tendons and blood vessels were being refined, radiating splendid blood light.

Clearly, Fang Boxuan was also practicing Body Refining Spirit Spells, his physical body extremely strong.

"Strange..."

Huang Qi, who had been focusing on the first peak, suddenly became alert and murmured softly, "Could Cao and that bitch have used some array to spy on me? Just now, I distinctly felt a gaze sweeping through my body. Truly bizarre."

Pang Jian was immediately startled.

The Individual Cultivator Huang Qi could faintly sense his probing, indicating that this person was extremely formidable.

At that moment,

"There’s someone halfway up the fourth peak."

Xie Xiwen of the Star River Alliance grasped the star disk that hung by her waist in her hand.

Her bright eyes shone with captivated brilliance, and she immediately saw Pang Jian and Huang Qi.

"Whoosh!"

She once again gathered Star Power, calling upon the strength within the star disk, her pupils shining like diamonds.

"Pang Jian!"

Not recognizing the transformed Huang Qi, she blurted out Pang Jian’s name.

She suddenly turned around, looking at Liang Ying with an odd expression and asked with confusion, "Elder Liang, didn’t you say that he was targeted by the Cyclops’s single eye and had died long ago?"

Liang Ying frowned deeply, also feeling that something was amiss, and said in bewilderment, "When I turned back to find you all, he had just passed under the crotch of a sixth-level Cyclops. Since he was targeted by that Cyclops, I thought he was surely dead."

"Could it be that he escaped from the Cyclops’s pursuit?" Xie Xiwen said with newfound respect.

Fang Boxuan shuddered and hurriedly looked towards the midsection of the fourth peak, indeed spotting a somewhat familiar, blurred figure.

"Pang Jian..."

Fang Boxuan’s gaze was strange.

He and the people of the Star River Alliance hadn’t spoken a word about what his senior brothers and sisters had done to Pang Jian.

Nor had he mentioned that he had met Pang Jian.

When they had passed by that deep valley previously, he had deliberately avoided the place where the remains of Bai Guanjie and the others lay. He didn’t even want to take a second look, and he longed for no recollection of that moment.

It was as if a piece of humiliation was buried there, deep within his heart.

He hadn’t expected to arrive at the fourth peak, when suddenly, Xie Xiwen discovered Pang Jian, greatly souring his mood.

"You’ve also seen him?"

Xie Xiwen asked in surprise.

Fang Boxuan nodded, his expression unchanged as he said, "After leaving the first peak of Yuan Mang, I had, in a sense, an encounter with him."

Halfway up the fourth peak.

Having realized he was exposed, Pang Jian pondered for a moment then said, "I’ll go down and have a chat with the people from the Star River Alliance."

"Suit yourself, I don’t like the people from the major sects anyway. I’d rather go ahead and find those Individual Cultivators."

Huang Qi went in a different direction.

Before long.

Pang Jian descended from the midsection of the fourth peak, dressed in that blue robe bearing the Sword Tower insignia, silently awaiting the arrival of the Star River Alliance party.

"At that time at Jade Lake, there was no one around. If I had worn this robe..."

Pang Jian shook his head.

At that time, he had not yet advanced to the Hollow Profound Realm, and with Liang Ying hot on his heels, he hadn’t had the time to change into another robe.

Moreover, he felt that even if he had changed his robe, it would not have altered Liang Ying’s intent to kill.

Liang Ying’s realm was at the time two whole levels above his, giving her the ability to kill him instantly.

Besides, an Elder of the Star River Alliance who was cultivated to the Spirit Condensation Realm would hardly fear a Sword Tower disciple of the Innate Realm.

"Pang Jian, huh? Sword Tower!"

Xie Xiwen exclaimed in surprise.

"Sword Tower!"

The survivors from the Star River Alliance, upon seeing the reemergence of Pang Jian dressed in the Sword Tower’s robe, were also greatly taken aback.

"Greetings to Elder Liang."

Pang Jian bowed his hands, as if he hadn’t seen Fang Boxuan of the Blood Moon, just looking into Liang Ying’s eyes, he said solemnly, "I had to leave in a hurry last time, failing to accept your kind invitation to unite for warmth. What was it that you wanted to ask me?"

Pang Jian appeared as if nothing had happened, as if he knew nothing at all.
