Chapter 34  Kidnap Someone from a Holy Land? A New Harvest!

After wrapping everything up, the four of them boarded the flying boat. Soaring through the void, they once again set off on their journey to recruit disciples.

“Hiss… this flying boat is seriously luxurious. A treasure like this isn’t something an average person can afford to use, right?”

The remnant soul of the Saint Sovereign widened his eyes, smacking his lips. Looking at the power chamber filled with tens of thousands of spirit stones, he almost drooled.

Recalling his previous life, even as a Saint Sovereign, he was actually quite poor. He often had to sneak around just for a few resources. There were even several times he almost got killed in battles over resources!

A thousand high-grade spirit stones are equivalent to ten thousand mid-grade ones—or ten million low-grade ones!

And here they were, just casually piled up, fueling the flying boat. How insanely wealthy did one have to be?

Lin Chen pursed his lips, his eyes glued to the sight. Although he had once been a young master of the Lin family, he’d never even seen high-grade spirit stones before—let alone this many.

If used for cultivation, how long would it take to absorb all of them?

“Lin Chen, your drool is about to fall.”

Su Xiaorou covered her mouth and giggled.

“Hehe, sorry, I lost my composure.”

Lin Chen smiled awkwardly. By nature, he wasn’t someone so easily fazed. But having lost all his family, his hunger for power had greatly intensified. So when he saw tens of thousands of high-grade spirit stones, he couldn’t help himself.

“Kid.”

The Saint Sovereign’s remnant soul leaned in close to Lin Chen and whispered, “Your aptitude isn’t bad—top-tier Dao-grade talent, and you’ve got the Thunder Battle Physique.”

“In this age of dwindling spiritual energy, there are hardly any who can match you…”

Lin Chen looked at him and asked, “What are you trying to say?”

The Saint Sovereign remnant grinned and glanced toward Chu Tian, who sat calmly at the front of the flying boat.

“That guy’s strength is unfathomable, and he’s filthy rich. Why don’t you take him as your master?”

“Take him as my master?”

Lin Chen looked over at Chu Tian. Hadn’t he thought about that already?

Ever since he realized how powerful Chu Tian was, the thought had crossed his mind. He knew his own talent was solid. The man had not only saved him, but was also taking him back to the sect. If he pushed further and asked for more, it might backfire and annoy the man instead. He planned to train at Saint Demon Mountain for a while before considering it further!

The Saint Sovereign remnant said, “What are you afraid of? If you’re too nervous, I’ll say it for you!”

“Sure.”

To his surprise, Lin Chen agreed right away.

“Uh…”

The Saint Sovereign remnant was caught off guard by how quickly Lin Chen said yes.

A bit embarrassed, he muttered, “This Saint thinks… maybe we should take our time with this.”

Clearly, he was scared too.

Lin Chen rolled his eyes at that.

If you’re scared, just say so—why so many excuses?

He could tell this Saint Sovereign remnant, despite his status, was timid and overly cautious. Whenever danger came up, he always stayed far away.

“What kind of look is that?”

The Saint Sovereign remnant stood with his hands on his hips, trying to look fierce. Even a kid was starting to look down on him—how was he supposed to maintain his dignity?

“Don’t scare Lin Chen! Or I’ll go tell the Senior that you’re bullying us!”

Su Xiaorou raised her tiny fist and shook it.

She was completely on Lin Chen’s side, even willing to go through fire and water for him. Dressed in a light green dress, she moved with grace. Her skin was fair and her features delicate.

While not a stunning beauty, she was definitely pleasing to the eye.

“Xiaorou.”

Lin Chen chuckled and shook his head, pulling her hand gently, signaling her to spare the Saint Sovereign remnant a little face.

Su Xiaorou froze as Lin Chen took her hand. Her pretty face turned red. She could feel that Lin Chen’s attitude toward her had changed.

“Ooooh~”

The Saint Sovereign remnant let out a teasing whistle, smacking his lips and instantly ruining the tender atmosphere between the two.

Lin Chen said irritably, “Honestly, we don’t really need to save him face in the future.”

“Since he doesn’t care about his own dignity, giving him face is pointless anyway.”

“Pfft!”

Su Xiaorou covered her mouth and chuckled softly. As she looked at Lin Chen’s profile, her heartbeat couldn’t help but quicken.

This guy… really has changed.

At the front of the flying vessel, Chu Tian lounged leisurely on a chair, sipping tea. Although the three of them were deliberately speaking in hushed voices, how could they hide it from him?

“If this kid really asks… should I refuse him or not?”

Chu Tian was still hesitant. Lin Chen had good character and decent talent. He also possessed a special physique—overall, he was qualified to become his disciple. However, Chu Tian was still weighing the decision.

Because once he accepted, he would be responsible for Lin Chen’s future. Their karma would become intertwined. For someone like him, who followed the philosophy of “cautious cultivation”, too many karmic ties were not a good thing.

In the following two months, the flying vessel traversed Gu Luo Prefecture and finally entered Qing Prefecture. This was within the sphere of influence of the Heavenly Jade Sacred Land.

The Great Ruins (Da Xu) were divided into Gu Luo Prefecture, Qing Prefecture, and Cang Prefecture. The other ultimate sacred land, Ancient Star Sect, was located in Cang Prefecture!

“So hard to find…”

Chu Tian stood with his hands behind his back at the front of the flying vessel, gazing at the sea of clouds ahead with a hint of helplessness. In two months, he hadn’t encountered even a single person with low-level Saint-grade talent. It was truly difficult.

“If it doesn’t work, maybe I should go kidnap someone from the Extreme Dao Sacred Land!”

“They must be hiding a few geniuses with Saint-grade low-level talent!”

This thought had just flashed through Chu Tian’s mind before he dismissed it.

What a joke—I’m a cautious cultivator. How could I do something like that?

What if they got angry and summoned their patriarch to track down his identity? That would just bring trouble to his sect.

Still, the two months weren’t without harvest. The flying vessel had gained two new passengers. Both had Dao-grade talent and were a pair of twins.

Chu Tian planned to take them back to the sect for training. With proper cultivation, they should be able to enter the Ancestral Mausoleum one day!

Name: Tong Yi

Age: 20

Realm: None

Identity: Mortal

Cultivation Talent: Medium Dao-grade

Other Talents: Medium Dao-grade Earth attribute, Low Dao-grade Blade Path talent, High Heaven-grade Formation Path talent

Physique: Black Fiend Yin Body (Unawakened)

Luck: Purple!

Name: Tong Er

Age: 20

Realm: None

Identity: Mortal

Cultivation Talent: Medium Dao-grade

Other Talents: Medium Dao-grade Earth attribute, Low Dao-grade Blade Path talent, High Heaven-grade Formation Path talent

Physique: Black Fiend Yang Body (Unawakened)

Luck: Purple!

Other than the difference in their special physiques, the two were nearly identical in every way. It was worth mentioning that the Black Fiend Yin Body and Black Fiend Yang Body, when considered individually, weren’t particularly powerful.

Even though their physiques were perfect, they were still inferior to Lin Chen’s incomplete Thunder Battle Body. But this only applied when considered individually!

When the Black Fiend Yin Body and Black Fiend Yang Body appeared together—And the two worked in tandem—then under the same cultivation realm, even against a Reincarnation Sacred Body, they could put up a fight!

These two physiques were complementary and capable of fusion, allowing them to evolve Yin and Yang and perform unique Dao techniques—immensely powerful!
