Chapter 716: Seven Leaves
Su Jingzhen took another look at the battle between Bai Suzhen and the four symbols in front of him.
Without any hesitation, he continued towards the treasures emitting colorless Dao essence that he could see.
As he continued, he found himself getting closer and closer to Bai Suzhen’s battlefield.
“Damn, the aftereffects of this battle are getting stronger and stronger.
Even with the Immovable Tortoise Seal fully activated, my skin still feels a bit painful. @@novelbin@@
Bai Suzhen has already used her all strength, but she still hasn’t been able to break through the protective barrier of that ancient demon king.
If things continue like this without any progress, it will be really difficult for us to leave the Divine Kingdom this time.”
Feeling this, Su Jingzhen sighed again, and his desire to collect the Dao essence grew even stronger.
Time gradually passed. While Su Jingzhen was collecting these treasures, nearly a hundred more people entered through the crack in the outer protective shield.
However, neither Su Jingzhen nor Bai Suzhen had the time to pay attention to these newcomers. They were almost instantly transformed into blood mist and absorbed by the central palace.Inside the protective barrier that Bai Suzhen had condensed, Yan Xia and the others became more and more solemn.
Their strength might not be great, but they were not without an understanding of the situation.
“This is not good. Su Jingzhen’s white python seems to be struggling more and more.”
“Another hundred or so people have been sacrificed and became a nourishment for that entity in the palace.
It seems that with only one protective barrier, it can keep Su Jingzhen’s contracted beast at bay. Once it comes out of seclusion, we will all be in grave danger.”
“I wonder if there’s anything we can do to help them.”
“…”
These people knew that only if Su Jingzhen or his contracted beast won would they have a chance to survive. This realization gradually turned into a desire to take action.
Their gazes all turned to Yan Xia.
Among them, Yan Xia was the closest to Su Jingzhen.
“Miss Yan Xia, is there anything we can do?”
The expressions on the faces of the various factions were relatively sincere.
Yan Xia, however, curled her lips in contempt.
“Just stay inside this protective barrier and don’t do anything. That would be a great help.”
Her words weren’t entirely sarcastic; it was true that as long as these people didn’t run around and become the entity’s food, they would indeed help Su Jingzhen. 𝔯âNô𐌱ΕS
The crowd was speechless, retreating to their positions with a sullen expression, but their faces remained filled with worry.
At this moment, Su Jingzhen stood on a pile of ruins and threw a plain-looking stone tablet in his hand. A relieved smile appeared on his face.
“The seventh leaf has finally sprouted. Everything will be much easier.”
Su Jingzhen’s face remained calm, but his heart was full of extreme excitement.
In the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, his consciousness witnessed the Dao essence on Little Green’s sixth leaf reach saturation, and the bud of the seventh leaf finally began to grow slowly.
Little Green exuded a stronger aura of vitality.
This vitality also brought about changes in the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.
With Su Jingzhen’s current authority in the Pure Land, he could clearly sense that the area filled with vitality had nearly doubled in size.
The initial dead silence he had encountered upon entering had been almost completely dispelled.
At this moment, Su Jingzhen’s consciousness could even sense two rather sacred auras within the Pure Land.
They seemed to be incredibly far away from Creation Peak, but they were undeniably real.
Su Jingzhen was quite familiar with these two auras. They belonged to the Fire Dragon and Ice Phoenix that he had brought to the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss before.
“Little Green, your seventh leaf has finally sprouted. Now… now can you bring me the Fire Dragon and the Ice Phoenix? They are really crucial to the current situation.”
Su Jingzhen said excitedly to Little Green.
In truth, he wasn’t sure what to do with the Fire Dragon and Ice Phoenix after he found them, since they were just hatchlings.
However, he had a strong feeling that these two little creatures were extremely important.
Little Green sent out another wave of energy, and Su Jingzhen’s expression changed abruptly after understanding its meaning.
Little Green’s message was clear: it still needed a lot more Dao essence, at least enough to mature the seventh leaf.
For now, it could only allow Su Jingzhen to sense the presence of the Fire Dragon and the Ice Phoenix, but it couldn’t bring him to them or bring them to him.
Su Jingzhen had expected this, but when Little Green told him directly, he still felt a bit disappointed.
“All right, Little Green, I’ll find what you need. I’ll be back soon.”
After getting this response from Little Green, Su Jingzhen wasted no time and began his treasure hunt once again.
Fortunately, the Divine Capital was huge, and there were many treasures containing Dao essence.
Since the seventh leaf required much more Dao essence than the sixth, the strange behavior Su Jingzhen had shown earlier, as seen by Yan Xia and others, reappeared.
To save time, he even used the Netherworld Ghost Technique.
His afterimages continued to flicker over the ruins.
“Su Jingzhen, I’m certain that I can’t break through this guy’s defenses right now.
Even though this guy is at a critical moment, and even though he has just been resurrected, his strength is indeed too strong.
In order to defeat him, I need to absorb the Pearl of Four Elements.”
As Su Jingzhen sprinted through the four ruins, Bai Suzhen’s voice suddenly echoed in his ear.
Upon hearing these words, Su Jingzhen’s heart once again shook.
He had thought that even if Bai Suzhen needed some effort, the end result would at least be up to their expectations.
If Bai Suzhen couldn’t even break through the opponent’s defenses, then even with the help of the Fire Dragon and Ice Phoenix, there seemed to be no hope.
Although Bai Suzhen’s transmission seemed to ask what to do next, it was actually a message to retreat.
“Is there no other way?
What if I find the Fire Dragon and Ice Phoenix soon?”
Su Jingzhen paused for a moment.
His gaze shifted to the thousand meter long white python in front of him.
Upon hearing his words, Bai Suzhen’s thousand-foot body hesitated for a moment, her azure eyes flashing with a gleam of determination.
She transmitted back to Su Jingzhen, “How much longer do you need?”
“One incense stick!”
“Alright!”
Bai Suzhen didn’t hesitate, and her aura intensified once more.
Countless Dao patterns emanated from each scale, making her attack against the enemy even more formidable.
At the very least, she couldn’t let the opponent’s defenses grow stronger.
Meanwhile, Su Jingzhen moved even faster through the ruins, collecting the treasures imbued with Dao patterns.
As time passed, Little Green’s seventh leaf shone brighter and brighter in the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.
