Chapter 1310: Chapter 1310: A Trivial Matter

"Being alive is wonderful!"

This was the first sentence uttered by the middle-aged man after he burst out from the earth and landed, filled with emotion.

Immediately afterward, his gaze wandered around. When he saw the horrific scene of a Corpse Mountain Blood Sea Killing, his brows furrowed slightly, then he showed an understanding expression and muttered, "It’s the Essence Stone Mine again causing trouble... In these ten-plus years, who knows how many martial artists have perished because of it... How sad! How lamentable!"

With a sympathetic sigh for the world, he turned to pat the shoulder of the young man beside him, a sincere smile on his face, and said, "Brother Fang, thank you for saving my life!"

The young man grinned, revealing a row of white, even teeth, and said, "I saved your life, and you helped me achieve Universe Level perfection, we just made use of each other, each getting what we needed. So, Brother Li, no need for thanks."

Hearing this, the young female martial artist beside the young man raised her fist and gently punched him, her voice tenderly complaining, "Fang Bai, you... talking about mutual use and getting what we need, it sounds terrible... Brother Li, Fang Bai isn’t good with words, please forgive him!"

The three people who had emerged from the underground were none other than Fang Bai, Xia Chenyu, and that Innate Expert Li Chenzhou, who had been "brought back to life" by Fang Bai’s magical hands.

Previously, Fang Bai, while in the deep pit of the underground Essence Stone Mine, expended a significant amount of Chaos Origin Energy to finally awaken Li Chenzhou. Afterwards, exploiting his own Innate perfection level and powerful Self-Healing abilities, along with Fang Bai’s assistance, and the astonishing reserves of the underground Essence Stone Mine for cultivation, not only did his body quickly recover, but his strength also returned to its peak.

Having healed and helped Li Chenzhou to regain his strength, Fang Bai had similarly taken advantage of the underground Essence Stone Mine and the nearly half a Spatial Ring full of rare Cultivation Resources given to him by Li Chenzhou, rapidly advancing his Cultivation Level from the initial Universe Level to the perfection of Universe Level.

Although Fang Bai had yet to enter the Innate Realm, with his ability to challenge beyond his level, he was fearless even against Innate perfection realm experts like Li Chenzhou.

In other words, Fang Bai, now with his Universe Level perfection cultivation, could roam the True Martial Realm with few opponents.

Li Chenzhou, who had been given a second lease on life by Fang Bai, naturally held boundless gratitude for Fang Bai. Knowing the deep connection between Xia Chenyu and Fang Bai, he took the time to instruct Xia Chenyu in cultivation while Fang Bai was focused on his own, gifting her a wealth of rare Cultivation Resources, bringing immense benefits to Xia Chenyu. She too had successive breakthroughs, reaching Cosmic Level perfection.

Although Xia Chenyu couldn’t challenge opponents across a great realm like Fang Bai, comfortably taking on martial artists one or two minor realms higher than her own was still easy.

Therefore, with her Cosmic Level perfection cultivation, Xia Chenyu could now contend with early or even mid Universe Level experts, and was on par with the higher-ups of first-class Sects.

All three were genius martial artists with extraordinary talents. While cultivating, the speed at which they absorbed energy from the underground Essence Stone Mine was astonishing to the point that, when Fang Bai finished cultivating, the Fire Elemental Stones’ Essence Energy within a ten-mile radius underground, centered on the three of them, had all been drained, turning into piles of dust.

After their cultivation ended, there was no point in staying underground. Li Chenzhou was eager to go out and see the world he had left nearly twenty years before, so he directly punched towards the ceiling above.

Above their heads was originally a thick layer of Fire Elemental Stone, but once that layer turned into falling dust, a several meters thick hard surface lay above.

The strength of an Innate perfection realm expert is something martial artists below the Innate Realm can hardly imagine. Although Li Chenzhou’s punch was casual, the several meters thick ground couldn’t withstand the force of that punch. The ground bulged upwards and exploded, creating a huge hole, and the three of them soared up through it, landing on the surface.

Hearing Xia Chenyu’s rebuke, Li Chenzhou burst into hearty laughter and waved his hand, saying, "No worries, no worries, I actually appreciate Brother Fang’s forthrightness!"

Fang Bai touched the Spatial Ring on his finger and reminded, "Brother Li, I’ll gladly accept the cultivation resources you gave me! And don’t forget about the promise you made to me too!"

Before awakening Li Chenzhou, Fang Bai thought he had perished and thus took his Spatial Ring, intending to keep it for himself. But after awakening Li Chenzhou, Fang Bai returned not only the Lover’s Tears Jade Pendant but also the Spatial Ring to its rightful owner, under the condition that he could take half of the cultivation resources within.

He exhausted his own Chaos Origin Energy to awaken Li Chenzhou and even helped him return to his peak strength; this favor was tenfold or a hundredfold greater than the commonplace act of saving a life. Even if he took all the cultivation resources inside Li Chenzhou’s Spatial Ring, he wouldn’t have any psychological burden, and only taking half was, in Li Chenzhou’s eyes, the embodiment of kindness and benevolence.

Hearing Fang Bai mentioning his own promise, Li Chenzhou said confidently, "Rest assured, it’s a mere trifle!"

He took a step forward, his gaze sweeping around once again, with bright and sharp eyes like lightning bolts, appearing as if they could penetrate the thoughts and intentions of everyone present.

"All disciples from Golden Crow Manor, stand behind me now!"

Li Chenzhou cleared his throat and spoke in a deep voice.

His voice wasn’t loud, yet his words clearly reached the ears of every martial artist present.

Shi Cheng and several other high-ranking members of Golden Crow Manor had descended through the entrance of the Essence Stone Vein to the bottom of the deep pit more than once, but had never seen Li Chenzhou in person. Seeing him standing with Fang Bai and Xia Chenyu, they were filled with confusion and couldn’t figure out how this man came to be there.

However, during this critical moment, Shi Cheng and the others had no mood to ponder other matters. The appearance of the trio Fang Bai, Xia Chenyu, and Li Chenzhou delighted them to the extreme, presenting them with a hope for survival.

Shi Cheng, Lei Hu, and Yu Huang, the three elders of Golden Crow Manor, had been fighting the Sect Master of Tianji Sect, Xuan Tianji. Even though they were fighting three against one, the huge gap in strength not only prevented them from gaining the upper hand but also left them covered in wounds. The fact that they had managed to hold on till now was already a desperate struggle.

Hearing Li Chenzhou’s shout, Shi Cheng and the others looked at each other with hesitation. However, as soon as they saw Fang Bai gesture to them, they immediately flew over without any further hesitation.

In their eyes, Fang Bai, who was equal in status to the Manor Master, merely making a gesture was much more effective than an unfamiliar Li Chenzhou’s words.

"Senior, I ask you not to intervene in the grievances between Tianji Sect and Golden Crow Manor! I promise that the Tianji Sect will offer a generous amount of cultivation resources afterward!"

Xuan Tianji might not be as strong as Dongguo Zongheng, but he had an eye for detail. He knew that Li Chenzhou, who seemed to have no Essence Energy fluctuations around him as if just an ordinary person, was also unpredictable; no one could guess whether his cultivation level had already reached the Martial Dao’s ultimate state of returning to simplicity and truth.

No matter whether Li Chenzhou was an Innate Expert or not, Xuan Tianji decided not to offend this person. With victory within reach, he did not want any mishaps to occur and cause unnecessary trouble.
