Chapter 18: Obtaining the Five-Needle Pine! A battle for the Sacred Treasure!

“I’m so excited!” Yuan Lian looked at the Five-Needle Pine in a daze.

It turned out that the Dao Domain didn’t dissipate, but gathered, and the Dao Domain that was a huge as a million miles concentrated into less than half a mile.

But in this half a mile, the huge light that was almost condensed into substance completely shattered Yuan Lian’s delusion of approaching easily.

BOOM!!

“Can you communicate with it for me?” Yuan Lian asked Huang Zhongli in surprise.

‘Rustle!’

The hazy consciousness expressed an affirmative meaning.

Yuan Lian was overjoyed, and immediately manipulated the formation to reveal a corner of Penglai Immortal Island, so that Huang Zhongli’s will could be spread.

“Rustle, rustle, rustle.”

“Swish, swish, swish…”

After a friendly exchange, Yuan Lian was pleasantly surprised to see that the Five-Needle Pine’s Dao rhyme completely dissipated, and all the bright light was withdrawn into the tree.

“Rustle!!”

Huang Zhongli sent a will to Yuan Lian to open the island’s protective formation.

Yuan Lian was overjoyed and, without any hesitation, opened the gate of the Pocket dimension, shouting ‘OPEN!’

BOOM!!

Under Yuan Lian’s surprised eyes, the Five-Needle Pine bloomed brightly, and its tall body rose from its roots, rushing straight into the Penglai Immortal Island, and settled down less than ten thousand miles away from Huang Zhongli.

Although Yuan Lian didn’t understand why the Five-Needle Pine agreed to move, but this was not important, he hurriedly manipulated the formation again, hiding Penglai Island inside the Pocket Dimension.

At the moment when the formation was activated, Huang Zhongli faintly uttered a word, but it made the corners of Yuan Lian’s mouth twitch uncontrollably.

“Is there some mistake? I have to give the Five-Needle Pine a drop of The Divine Water of Three Glories every ten thousand years?!”

Yuan Lian’s heart was bleeding.

One drop every ten thousand years, one Yuan hui will be twelve drops, 12 Yuan huis will be…..

This is simply outrageous.

Yuan Lian really wanted to swear, but now the situation was urgent, so he had to leave here first.

In the Primordial World, a location less than ten thousand miles away from Yuan Lian. location.

Li Yuan, who was walking quickly, sensed the bright light coming from ahead, and his face was ecstatic.

“It’s an Innate Spiritual Root. Such vast Law and Daoism, it is at least a Spiritual Root above the middle grade!”

The distance was so close that he instantly understood the origin of the treasure.

A mere ten thousand miles away, under his frenzied speeding up, he arrived in a blink of an eye.

But suddenly, an Innate Sacred Being in front of him rushed over, giving Li Yuan a pause.

“I was careless, I should have changed the direction.”

Yuan Lian was also taken aback looking at the oncoming cultivator, his face remained calm, but he was cursing in his heart.

He pretended to be calm and prepared to deny everything, but he heard the other side say: “Fellow Daoist, have you ever seen anything?”

“No.”

BOOM!!!

Before the sound of the two fell, two extremely bright immortal lights collided, and in an instant, the endless area shattered inch by inch.

“Shameless!”

“Shameless!”

Yuan Lian held the Sea Calming Pearls and looked at Li Yuan who was also holding a black halberd.

The two said the same words in unison.

“Hand over the Spiritual Root.” Li Yuan immediately and angrily reprimanded when the sneak attack failed.

‘Innate Sacred Beings are so dignified and holy, how could there be stupid people?’

The location of the Innate Spiritual Root was only ten thousand miles away from here, but there was a Yuan Lian who claimed to have seen nothing in front of him.

And taking a ten thousand step back, no matter whether the Yuan Lian had the Spiritual Root or not, he chose to attack.

In case Yuan Lian got the Spiritual Root, he would be easily exposed.

Better to kill the wrong person than to let one go.

Yuan Lian was also very speechless, and he wanted to go back to the East China Sea.

“Take it!” Yuan Lian channeled his spirit energy into the Sea Calming Pearls and threw them with full power.

Li Yuan had already seen through Yuan Lian, and quickly reacted with his halberd.

The vast spirit energy was colliding, time and space were collapsing, and one black hole after another was forming and collapsing, annihilating everything around.

The celestial light that destroys the world was stirring, and one after another bright light penetrated into the universe of billions of universes like the sands of Ganges, and the worlds shattered and turns into nothingness.

Both of them are Innate Gods with the strength of the Mid-stage Golden Immortal Realm, and their spirit energy collided between them.

Yuan Lian could clearly feel that the opponent’s power was not as vast and pure as his own, and that the spirit treasure in his hand was only a low-grade innate spirit treasure, far less powerful than the Sea Calming Pearls.

But even so, how can there be a weak person among the Innate Sacred Beings at the Golden Immortal level?

Yuan Lian desperately wanted a quick battle, but Li Yuan had the upper hand and did not show defeat.

“It’s so pure and surging spirit energy, where is he from?”

Li Yuan was suppressed, tried to remain calm, but he was shocked in his heart.

Both of them were the Mid-stage Golden Immortal, he already had all Five Qi, and he had condensed all of the top-rank Innate Five Qi, yet he was still faintly inferior to the other party.

The most hateful thing was that the other party actually had a Top-Grade Innate Spirit Treasure, and now he had another Innate Spirit Root.

This made Li Yuan very angry, and he vowed to stall for time until the nearby cultivators arrived.

‘I can’t delay any longer, let’s make a killing move!’ Yuan Lian secretly calculated in his heart that the longer the delay, the more dangerous the situation would be.

They were all messing around in the Primordial World, how could he not be clear about Li Yuan’s schemes.

Although he had made up his mind, Yuan Lian still used the Sea Calming Pearls, but didn’t use his full strength.

On the contrary, he used spirit energy to activate the Pearls, bursting out bright Five-Color Light.

The Sea Calming Pearls, in addition to the physical offensive with the power of the four seas, have a five-color brilliance that can also confuse people, disrupt the five senses, and charm people’s minds.

“Haha, how can a mere trick of delusion mess with the mind of a Diety? Burn it for me!”

Seeing this, Li Yuan was not surprised but pleased.

Under the five-colored brilliance, he only felt the blurring of the five senses at the flick of his fingers, but the original divine fire in the primordial spirit was burning brightly, which instantly woke him up.

He inherited the Innate power of the Nine Nether Deep Flame when he gained sentience, and the Nine Nether Deep Flame has long been his original divine fire.

This is why it’s said that Innate Sacred Beings were the darling of Heaven and Earth.

Every Innate Sacred Being carries part of the Laws and Principles, and thus forms the original supernatural power as soon as it is born.

For example, Dong Wanggong’s Primordial Yang Divine Flame, Li Yuan’s Nine Nether Deep Flame, and Yuan Lian’s own World Purifying Aura are also the same.

The five-color brilliance was broken, and Li Yuan took advantage of Yuan Lian’s gap to approach him in an instant.

The Nine Nether Deep Flame instantly enveloped Yuan Lian, and the blue flame radiated vast power.

“Hahaha, Nine Nether Deep Flame, uses the soul and true spirit as fuel, if one does not reach Perfected Immortal rank, it would be hard to save!”

Li Yuan was overjoyed and couldn’t help but mock Yuan Lian to let him know.

Li Yuan looked at Yuan Lian who had been burned by the Nether Flame as if he was looking at a dead body, but strangely saw the corners of the other party’s mouth slightly raised.

‘Is he laughing?’

‘Why is he laughing?’

“Really? You are indeed hopeless!”

Under Li Yuan’s puzzled gaze, Yuan Lian’s indifferent voice came from the flames.
