Chapter 254: Two Multicolored Entries, Isn't That Too Extravagant? (Part 1)



Fatty Dragon, standing at the edge of the deep pit, gazed at the scene before him, his eyes instantly turning red as he let out a heart-wrenching roar, "Qiu!"

But he had only uttered a single word.

The scholar standing beside him quickly covered Fatty Dragon's mouth and turned to Xing Dou, who was already prepared, saying with a slightly urgent tone, "Quickly, take him down for treatment."

"Understood."

Xing Dou took a deep breath, feeling a bit anxious. He led his disciples down into the pit, his heart racing slightly, but he still had some confidence.

After all, the Sect Master had fainted once on the Profound Heaven Continent, and he had been unconscious for ten days. It was them who had taken care of him then. Although this time he seemed to be slightly more severely injured than before, his cultivation base had increased, making him more resilient. For now, he wouldn't die.

As long as there were no sudden enemy attacks, it would be fine. Otherwise, with their combat power, it would be a bit difficult to handle.

He himself was the Sect Master of Xing Dou Zong from Daxia Kingdom, later incorporated into Mock Heaven Sect, where he had been serving as the Hall Master of the Alchemy Hall. His talent was average, but his pill refining skills were among the best in the Vast Continent. He believed he could easily rank within the top hundred.

There was no other reason.

It was simply because Mock Heaven Sect had such a deep foundation that they frequently received large quantities of medicinal herbs, more than they could use. These precious herbs were used casually for pill refining, all to improve his skills, something other sect's pill refiners couldn't afford.

There was no time to move the Sect Master to the Celestial Palace.

They would treat him nearby.

The Mock Heaven Sect disciples, under the scholar's arrangement, stood guard around the area, while Xing Dou led his disciples to the bottom of the pit to provide emergency treatment for the Sect Master. Then, they would take him to the Celestial Palace for a peaceful recovery. Originally, Fatty Dragon should have given this order, but he was too emotionally agitated at the moment, and the scholar took the initiative to do it himself.

Knowing Fatty Dragon's character, he probably wouldn't mind this.

Although the scene was a bit chaotic, it remained relatively orderly.

The Sect Master of Heavenly Axe Sect, standing among the crowd, watched the scene before him, his eyes gradually narrowing as a sudden thought crossed his mind. He clenched his teeth, and a hint of fear flashed in his eyes.

He was not content with his current situation and yearned to reach greater heights.

For this, he was willing to use some underhanded means, as long as he could keep them hidden. The chances of being discovered were low, and he was well aware of the consequences if he were found out. But he was willing to take the risk!

The senior was already unconscious, having lost all his combat power. If an enemy were to attack at this moment, it wouldn't take an extremely high cultivation base to pose a threat; even a Refinement Void Realm cultivator would be a challenge for the Mock Heaven Sect members.

After all, in Mock Heaven Sect, only the senior had a Refinement Void cultivation base, and he was now at the Body Fusion Stage. The others had, at most, a Soul Transformation Realm cultivation base.

In other words, this was the weakest moment for Mock Heaven Sect and the best opportunity for him!

His eyes flashed with determination, and after taking a deep breath, he slowly retreated to the back of the crowd. Unobtrusively, he took out a sound transmission talisman from his pocket and crushed it.

To succeed, one must dare to do what others cannot and be willing to take risks that others dare not.

Those who had reached his level were not ordinary; they had their moments of glory. He, too, was once a renowned old monster in Mystic Heaven State. It was just that after the senior's appearance, he seemed a bit insignificant in comparison.

After spending so many years in Mystic Heaven State, the faction he had cultivated was the strongest in the state, and he had some connections.

In an instant, as the sound transmission talisman was crushed, a hidden message shot towards a corner of Mystic Heaven State. He bid farewell to Fatty Dragon and the others, using the excuse of conducting an external investigation.

Half an hour later, at the bottom of the pit, Xing Dou let out a long sigh of relief. After wiping the sweat from his forehead, he turned to Fatty Dragon and reported, "Elder, there's no major issue. The injuries are under control for now."

"It's just a case of spirit energy depletion and severe physical injuries leading to unconsciousness. The Sect Master has already broken through to the Body Fusion Stage. A moment ago, his body started absorbing spirit energy on its own, which is a good sign, indicating that the Sect Master's internal state isn't too chaotic."

"I estimate that he'll wake up in three or four days."

"Actually, if we were to force him awake now, we could do it. For example, we could cut the Sect Master's neck with a knife or poke his head, and his body would force him to wake up. Right now, he's in a state of protective coma."

"In layman's terms, the Sect Master's subconscious wants him to rest for a while to avoid death."

"Mhm."

Fatty Dragon nodded, and the worry in his eyes lessened. He shook his head and said, "That won't be necessary. As long as he's fine, send the Sect Master back to the Celestial Palace and let him rest for a while. If anything happens during this time, just report it to me promptly."

When he saw the fragments of spirit treasures on the ground, including an alchemy furnace used by pill refiners, he knew the situation had been urgent. At that time, Qiu probably didn't have the luxury to distinguish between defensive spirit treasures and those for attack or other functions. He had thrown out everything he had.

And now, these spirit treasures had all turned to dust.

In the past, he always felt that these spirit treasures were too low-grade and not very useful. But now, he realized that if it weren't for this batch of spirit treasures helping Qiu withstand the tribulation, the situation might have been more severe, or even...

He shook his head, not wanting to think further. With a wave of his hand, he summoned a group of Mock Heaven Sect disciples to transport Qiu back to the Celestial Palace for a period of rest.

Just at that moment—

A sinister and arrogant laughter suddenly rang out!

"Hahahahahaha!!!"

"Chen Qiu, Chen Qiu, this is your fate. King of Xuantian, how laughable."

A black streak of light shot through the sky towards the deep pit, revealing the late-stage Profound Void cultivation without any attempt to conceal it. Soon, a man in a black cloak, wearing a mask that could block divine perception, hovered in the air, looking down at the Mock Sky Sect disciples below with a cold smile.

"A mantis stalking a cicada, unaware of the oriole behind."

"I bear no grudge against your Mock Sky Sect, but I too desire to sit upon the Heaven Sovereign Throne. However, in your current state, what power do you have to oppose me?"

"Damn!"

Fat Dragon, standing at the bottom of the pit, paled, a hint of panic flashing in his eyes. He hadn't expected a petty thief to dare to attack at this moment. With his protective spiritual energy at full force, he drew his long sword from his chest and was about to charge forward!

"I'll hold them off, you escort Brother Qiu back to the Celestial Palace!"

The mysterious man in the sky was at the Profound Void cultivation stage, while Fat Dragon was only at the sixth layer of Soul Transformation. He knew he was no match, but he had to fight anyway. His cultivation was already the highest in the Mock Sky Sect, and if he didn't step up, no one else could.

"That won't be necessary."

Xing Dou, kneeling on the ground, took out a dagger from his chest and prepared to stab Chen Qiu's neck, "Let's just force the Sect Master to wake up."

"Wait—"

Ao Tian, who appeared from nowhere, stopped Xing Dou's hand and pressed down on Fat Dragon with a sigh, "Don't force him to wake up. Brother Qiu is already severely injured, and forcing him awake will only worsen his injuries."

"And you, Dragon Son-in-Law, don't rush forward either."

"Have you forgotten about your 'Father Cannot Be Defeated' entry? All the injuries you receive will be transferred to your dragon cubs. The Dragon Clan has finally produced a new generation, so be careful. If you get injured, these dragon cubs will suffer the same fate."

"Leave this to me."

Ao Tian patted the non-existent dust on his shoulder and said calmly, "In the entire Mock Sky Sect, I'm the only one at the Profound Void cultivation stage. It's only the first level, but it's still Profound Void."

"I'm the only one who can fight."

"I'm quite clear about my own abilities. In this life, it's hard for me to keep up with Brother Qiu's pace. It's better to rest here for a while."

"Don't try to stop me."

"I've been waiting for this opportunity. It's time for my good-for-nothing son to see if his old man is truly a coward."

"After breaking through to Profound Void, the Dragon Clan's heritage has a secret technique that can defeat opponents several levels higher!"

"From now on, let my good-for-nothing son call you his foster father. When you go to the Third Rank Continent, take him with you if possible. He'll be a help in the future."

He wanted to accompany Chen Qiu to the Third Rank Continent, but he couldn't bring himself to do it. Whether it was the Mock Sky Sect disciples or Fat Dragon and the others, they all considered themselves Chen Qiu's juniors. Naturally, wherever Chen Qiu went, they would follow without a second thought.

But he was already of an advanced age, and it was a bit embarrassing for him to go and freeload at his age. However, if he could save Chen Qiu's life with his own, it would be a great merit. Letting Chen Qiu take care of his good-for-nothing son was not a problem.

Although the Dragon Clan now had many dragon cubs, his favorite was still Black Dragon.

It had nothing to do with talent or bloodline; Black Dragon's personality reminded him of his younger self. They had spent many years together, and unlike most dragons who slept most of the time, they had been awake, constantly communicating and bonding. Over the years, their relationship had grown stronger.

Human hearts are made of flesh.

Dragon hearts are the same.

"Father!"

Black Dragon suddenly appeared, his eyes red and teary, and rushed forward, his voice trembling with emotion, "Father, I'll go with you to face the enemy. If you leave, I won't know what to do, I'll be completely lost."

"Stop it."

Ao Tian, full of affection, embraced Black Dragon as he rushed forward, stroking his head, "When I'm not here, listen to Fat Dragon and the others, and listen to Brother Qiu. They are your family."

"You must strive to live on."

"Your father will watch over you from above. If you live well, I'll be content."

"I owe Brother Qiu a great debt, and I can only repay it with my life."

". . ."

Fat Dragon, deeply moved by the scene before him, suddenly noticed the scholar beside him pointing at his head. He didn't react at first, but following the scholar's finger, he saw the cloaked man quietly observing them from above.

Wait a minute—

He suddenly realized, weren't they under attack? How could they have been chatting for nearly twenty breaths, and this noisy man had been quietly waiting for them all this time?

At that moment!

The cloaked man, suspended in the air, coldly mocked, "Before coming, I was worried that Chen Qiu might not have lost consciousness completely. But seeing you like this, I can confirm that he's truly unconscious.

"Since that's the case!"

"Then, all of you shall die!"

Just then, an overwhelming and terrifying surge of spirit qi emerged, engulfing the Mock Heaven Sect members at the bottom of the pit. Clearly, the unfamiliar visitor had lost patience and was ready to annihilate the entire Mock Heaven Sect.

Ao Tian took a deep breath and stepped forward, preparing to engage in battle.

But—

At that very moment!

"How dare a lowly mortal offend a senior! You're asking for death!"

A furious roar echoed from the horizon, and a towering killing intent enveloped a figure with Refinement Void peak cultivation, rushing towards them from a distance. It was the long-missing Sky Axe Sect Leader, and he didn't hesitate for a moment.

"Fourth Axe, Chopping Heaven!"

A giant axe shadow, comparable to a mountain, instantly enveloped the unfamiliar visitor who had been shouting moments ago. The man in the cloak was locked in place by an overwhelming aura, unable to move a muscle. Despite wearing a mask, his eyes clearly showed intense fear.

In almost an instant, he was reduced to a cloud of blood under the giant axe shadow, completely merging with the heavens and earth!

"Huff!"

Holding a crimson giant axe, the Sky Axe Sect Leader slowly descended from the air and glared at the group of Fat Dragon and others, saying indignantly, "Fortunately, I arrived just in time. Otherwise, if the unconscious senior, who was still unaware, had fallen for the schemes of these lowly mortals, the consequences would have been unimaginable."

"These damn lowly mortals, it's hard to imagine. If I hadn't suddenly felt a sense of unease and returned, I wouldn't know what kind of unmeasurable consequences would have occurred."

".

The scholar, who had been standing in place, remained silent for a while before speaking in a low voice, "I tried to contact you with a sound transmission talisman, but I couldn't reach you."

"Huh?"

The Sky Axe Sect Leader was slightly startled, then he extended his divine perception into the Heavenly Path Ring in his hand, then slapped his forehead, "I just saw that I did contact you. I was lost in thought earlier and didn't pay much attention to it."

"Um, should we quickly help the senior back to the palace?"

Fat Dragon and the others beside him also reacted and didn't dare to delay. Together, they used their spirit qi to lift Chen Qiu into the air and headed towards the Celestial Palace.

Soon.

The Sky Axe Sect Leader, standing at the entrance of the Celestial Palace, looked inside, where Xing Dou and the others were busy attending to the senior. He turned to Fat Dragon and the others beside him and sighed, "It's good that the injuries are under control. It's also good to be unconscious for a few days, it's like a well-deserved rest."

"Speaking of which, I don't even remember when I last slept. You know, although sleeping is a behavior for mortals, it's actually quite comfortable at times. It's just that when you sleep without feeling tired, it's a bit boring."

"Um..."

"Why aren't you guys responding to me?"

The Sky Axe Sect Leader continued talking to himself, and when he saw that no one picked up on his words, he shrank back and cautiously asked, "Did I say something wrong?
