Chapter 32: Peerless Treasure

Another Spirit Sea cultivator?

Seeing the immortal-like man appear in the sky, gratitude filled Lin Xuns heart.

If the man hadnt rescued them in time, he and the little girl would have been killed.

Lin Xun finally saw who was their attacker.

It was an unusually built man with muscles that emitted a pale golden hue. Every one of his muscles appeared as hard as rocks and was filled with explosive power.

His hair and beard were sharp as a spear and his eyes flashed like lightning. Even just standing there, he exuded an imposing, mountain-like bearing.

When the azure-robed man appeared, the blue pine patterned sword at his feet buzzed and shot into the air with incredible speed.

Shua!

The sword flashed like a rainbow as it slashed down from the sky!

Lin Xun felt stabbing pain in his eyes. The sword qi, as strong as the scorching afternoon sun, seemed capable of wiping out the world.

Almost at the same time, the mighty man acted. With a thunderous roar, he wielded his flaming golden fist through the air

Rumble

The sky shook and the clouds were torn apart. The impact from the collision of aeth power made the world lose its color.

The collision was too terrifying. Of course, how could the battle between two top Spirit Sea cultivators be trivial?

There was a saying in the Ziyao Empire: once Spirit Sea cultivators acted, the impact of disaster would engulf everyone and bring unimaginable damage!

Even if the battle didnt take place in a populated city, the destructive power was enough to crumble rocks and trees and cause the ground within a radius of hundred meters to crack like a cobweb. The beasts who couldnt escape in time exploded in a rain of blood and flesh.

Lin Xun didnt dare to look at such a horrifying scene. He rolled the little girl under him, shielding her while he circulated all his strength to protect them.

The difference in strength was too tremendous!

Lin Xun was only at the third-layer True Martial Stage. It was difficult for him to even survive the impact from the battle of the Spirit Sea Stage cultivators, let alone escape.

It was as though his life and death were already beyond his control!

Right now, Lin Xun could only pray that the battle would quickly end.

Rumble

The battle continued fiercely, and the collisions echoed like thunder, quaking the surroundings. Lin Xun felt his eardrums throb with pain as his qi and blood tumbled violently within his body and his spirit shuddered endlessly. He almost coughed up blood from the discomfort.

He didnt dare to think too much. He subconsciously operated the Star Cycle of the Little Divine Meditation Art. Combining his heart and mind into one, he began to visualize the stars shining and revolving in the sky.

Following that, his spirit no longer throbbed and his consciousness became empty and clear. All negative emotions faded like the tide, disappearing.

Suddenly, Lin Xun realized that the outside world was clearly reflected in his mind even with his eyes closed.

Under the sky, the azure-robed mans sleeve billowed around him as he wielded an ancient blue sword. The sword, fierce and swift as lightning, produced a dragon-like roar as it radiated and filled the sky with terrifying sword qi.

Opposite the azure-robed man stood the mighty burly man, who looked a little discomposed. His rock-like skin was riddled with sword wounds and his muscles were flowing with blood. In particular, his fists were torn open with bone-deep wounds.

Even if the mighty man was covered with wounds, he still looked fearsome and exuded the same murderous aura like he didnt notice the wounds.

Ruling Sword Art!

Suddenly, the azure-robed man seemed a little impatient and unleashed a long roar. The ancient azure swords aura suddenly changed.

Chi!

Like a streak of lightning piercing the darkness, it disappeared in a flash.

This sword was unbelievably fast. Lin Xun failed to even capture a trace of it in his mind!

The mighty man grunted. His arm was slashed off and blood jetted across the sky!

Ruling Sword Art!

The azure-robed mans aura grew stronger and stronger. Like a legendary sword immortal, his sword could turn the world upside down!

It was obvious that he wanted to kill the ferocious man.

Li!

At that critical juncture, a giant bird swooped down and cut the clouds with its blade-like wings.

Its entire body glistened with golden light, as if it was constructed from gold, and its wings spanned over tens of feet.

It rescued the mighty man with unbelievable speed like a bolt of lightning as if it was a mirage!

The sudden change caught the azure-robed man off guard. Just as he was about to give chase, the golden bird had already vanished into the horizon.

The golden light eagle of darkness!

The azure-robed man uttered bitterly, I didnt expect the brute warrior to come from there

The battle came to an end.

Lin Xun didnt care about the brute or the golden light eagle, He couldnt help but breathe a long sigh of relief when the battle ended. It was only then that he felt the burning pain on his back. He stroked his back to find blood flowing down rapidly. He was clearly wounded from the battle.

Fortunately, it was just an external wound and no bones were damaged.

He pulled the little girl up and was relieved to see her unwounded.

Are you two okay? asked the azure-robed man as he came over. The area was already destroyed with signs of the earth shaking battle everywhere.

Lin Xun hurriedly bowed his thanks. Thank you, Lord, for your help.

It was only then that he realized that the azure-robed man was young and handsome. His every movement and gesture exhibited a noble aura.

Im glad you two are okay. I didnt expect there to be brute warriors in the Great Three Thousand Mountains. Could they also be here for the peerless treasure? The azure-robed man lightly sighed, as if he was mumbling to himself.

Peerless treasure?

Lin Xun was taken aback.

You two should quickly leave.

The azure-robed man swept a glance over Lin Xun and the little girl. From their appearance, he guessed they were villagers from the mountains and so he gave up on asking them about the current situation.

Can we ask for your name? If theres a chance in the future, I will definitely repay your kindness, said Lin Xun seriously and with a cupped fist salute.

The azure-robed man looked prideful but he was a good person. At the very least, he had saved their lives. This was a huge debt.

Repay me?

The azure-robed man was first taken aback as though he found it very interesting. Then, he shook his head. You just need to take good care of yourself. As for mejust think of me as a passerby.

With a flash, he soared into the air, his clothes billowing.

Passerby?

Lin Xuns gratitude intensified. From the mans words, it was clear that he helped Lin Xun out of good will and he had never expected Lin Xun to repay him.

What a nice guy, exclaimed Lin Xun admiringly.

The little girl next to Lin Xun seemed a little strange. She had blankly stood there like a lost soul since the battle had ended. She paid no attention to everything around her and just stared dazedly into the forest. Her stunningly beautiful face was flickering with deep sorrow.

Lin Xun couldn't help but ask softly, Little girl, did you lose your parents?

Yiyi yaya.

The little girl shook her head while uttering some complicated and incomprehensible sound.

Lin Xun was startled. What language is that?

Seeing that Lin Xun didnt understand, the little girl bit her lip and sighed. She said nothing else after that.

By the way, thank you for helping me just now.

Lin Xun remembered how the little girl carried him and fled in the forest. Although he found it strange, he still expressed his gratitude to the little girl.

Yiyi yaya.

The little girl raised her head and her jet-black, crescent moon-shaped eyes widened. Her expression was extremely blank as though she didnt understand what Lin Xun said.

Uh

Lin Xun scratched his head, muttering to himself, s this little girl a child of the wild men in the mountains?

He had heard from the villagers of Feiyun Village that in the depths of the Great Three Thousand Mountains were not only all kinds of monsters, demons and beasts, but also many primitive people and savages.

However, the little girls delicate and beautiful appearance made Lin Xun dispel that thought. How could a savage look so pretty?

Suddenly, the little girl furrowed her eyebrows. Her eyes dropped and everything darkened. Her slender and delicate body fell forward.

Lin Xun subconsciously held the little girls body. He immediately checked her condition, and seeing that she had just passed out, he inwardly breathed a sigh of relief.

Without further delay, Lin Xun hurried back to Feiyun Village with the little girl on his back.

Along the way, Lin Xun couldnt help but shake his head and sigh as he recalled his experience in the mountains. He was rather speechless. He had just wanted to hunt some beasts for food. Who would have thought that he would suffer a great upheaval.

First, the brute warrior killed a barbarian bear and created chaos amongst the beasts. Then, he witnessed a world-shaking battle between the brute warrior and the azure-robed man and he almost lost his life.

He luckily survived in the end and he saved a little girl who couldnt even speak

He had to abandon his hunt and take the unconscious little girl back home. He was between laughter and tears at the thought of his encounters.

However, Lin Xun felt it was a lucky coincidence that he had the opportunity to witness a battle between two Spirit Sea cultivators. As a result of this, he realised just how powerful cultivators were and that increased his dedication to cultivation even more.

If he possessed the power to destroy the world, he wouldnt be as helpless as he was today!

I must become stronger! Lin Xun vowed to himself.

Hundreds of miles away, the azure-robed man took out an exquisite jade edict while flying in the air.

The Heavenly Seer, the empires stargazing platform, issued the edict more than a month ago, and only the most powerful figures in the Ziyao Empire knew about it and had it.

A phenomenon will descend upon the Great Three Thousand Mountains in the southwest of the empire. The phenomenon is mysterious and unpredictable. Even with my powers, I cant possibly pry into its mystery. A peerless treasure will likely appear. I hope Your Majesty will treat this matter with caution

The azure-robed man recited the edict as a ruminative expression crept into his eyes. Could the brute warrior have come for it also?

He couldn't help sighing softly, But where is the peerless treasure? I have searched the Great Three Thousand Mountains for more than twenty days
