Chapter 261: Stunning Harvest

Just as the three Cosmic Venerables of the Meng Yao Zu began exploring the Qing Kong Secret Realm, Lu Qingshan, Kuang Dao Zun Zhe, and Tie Ying Zunzhe were also exploring the same region.

The direction in which Lu Qingshan and his two companions advanced was precisely the direction where the three Meng Yao Zu Venerables, led by Hei Lang Zunzhe, were located.

Of course, at present, the distance between their two teams exceeded one light-year, so they naturally could not meet in the short term.

However, if neither side changed their direction of travel, they would definitely meet within the next few years.

Of course, encountering powerful figures from an opposing camp while exploring a Cosmic Secret Realm was still relatively common; at the very least, the probability was far greater than encountering a treasure.

Yet, unlike on the Borderlands of the Outer Regions, existences at the Venerable Realm level, even when meeting powerful figures from an opposing camp, would generally not engage in combat unless there were massive conflicts of interest or deep grudges.

Therefore, even if Lu Qingshan and his two companions met the three powerful figures of the Meng Yao Zu, it would most likely amount to nothing more than shouting insults and mocking each other.

Of course, since neither Lu Qingshan nor the Meng Yao Zu camp had discovered the other's whereabouts at present, everything was naturally no different from usual.

Just like that, time passed continuously, and in the blink of an eye, more than two years had gone by.

During these more than two years, Lu Qingshan's side and the Meng Yao Zu camp basically maintained a flight speed of tens of thousands of kilometers per second; although they occasionally rested, they never changed their direction of travel.

Precisely because of this, the distance between the two teams had already dropped to less than one billion kilometers.

However, both sides had used small detectors to shield themselves, so their large detectors were completely unable to detect the other's whereabouts.

At this moment, Lu Qingshan, Kuang Dao Zun Zhe, and Tie Ying Zunzhe were still continuously flying forward while simultaneously using large detectors, small detectors, and divine power to probe the surroundings.

Although they had not encountered any gains during these more than two years, they felt no impatience whatsoever.

After all, such an experience was the normal situation when exploring a Cosmic Secret Realm; their previous lucky discovery of that Purple Ling Yunxin Grass was the more special case.

"I have been in this Qing Kong Secret Realm for over one hundred thousand years, and I have only engaged in real combat twice!"

As Lu Qingshan continued flying forward alongside Kuang Dao Zun Zhe and the other, he sighed inwardly: "At the Venerable Realm level, engaging in combat with powerful figures of the same level is far, far more difficult than at the Immortal Divine Spirit stage!"

"Even if one truly encounters a powerful figure from an opposing camp, in most cases, they will not fight!"

"Simply exploring and seeking treasures endlessly within this Cosmic Secret Realm is truly too boring!"

Yes, boring!

For most Venerables of the Cosmos, obtaining numerous treasures during such a plain adventure would absolutely be a matter of very good luck;

but for Lu Qingshan, it was somewhat boring.

If he could, he would prefer to slaughter powerful figures of opposing camps recklessly as he did during the Immortal Divine Spirit stage; even if his avatar perished, it could be nurtured again.

But unfortunately, at the Venerable Realm level, even powerful figures from mutually opposing camps rarely engaged in combat when they met in ordinary times.

Moreover, he could not encounter powerful figures of opposing camps as frequently as he did on the Borderlands of the Outer Regions, unless he directly rushed into the territories of alien races like the Meng Yao Zu or the Insect Race to slaughter on a massive scale.

But doing so would surely result in the Cosmic Overlords of these opposing races moving to eliminate him, and there might even appear a Cosmic Master proficient in soul attacks!

"Enough!"

Lu Qingshan sighed inwardly: "Boring is boring; anyway, I have other avatars in deep cultivation!"

"This second avatar slowly roaming the cosmos to accumulate some wealth is also quite good; this way, when my strength is even greater, I can exchange for more powerful supreme treasures!"

But just as Lu Qingshan was sighing inwardly, Kuang Dao Zun Zhe beside him suddenly cried out in surprise: "Something is happening!"

Hearing Kuang Dao Zun Zhe's words, Lu Qingshan and Tie Ying Zunzhe beside him quickly looked at the situation displayed on the large detector.

On that illusory screen, more than three hundred million kilometers ahead of them, three dazzling streaks of light were cutting through the void, even leaving behind trails of void tracks.

"That is..."

After observing the specific treasures within those three streaks of light clearly through the large detector, Tie Ying Zunzhe was stunned.

"It is Void Sand!"

Kuang Dao Zun Zhe beside him shouted with immense excitement: "It is definitely Void Sand! And there are three of them!"

Lu Qingshan also saw the objects within those three streaks of light at this moment.

They were three red, strange objects with irregular shapes and diameters of dozens of kilometers, looking just like small meteorites.

And where these three red treasures, resembling meteorites, cut through, they left behind void tracks that looked quite strange.

"That's right! It is definitely Void Sand!"

Lu Qingshan's face also broke into a smile: "Void leaving traces; this scene is completely consistent with the description of Void Sand's emergence recorded in the Virtual Universe!"

Void Sand: A strange treasure that can only be born in extremely special places within the vast universe; when formed, it appears in irregular shapes, and if it cuts through the void, it can achieve the effect of leaving traces in the void.

Void Sand is one of the precious materials for forging supreme treasures; the selling price of a single Void Sand in the Human Race's treasury is even as high as one hundred Heavy Treasure Points.

You must know, even if a powerful figure within the Human Race breaks through to the Venerable Realm, the Human Race would only grant one hundred Heavy Treasure Points.

Now that three Void Sands have appeared simultaneously, that is three hundred Heavy Treasure Points, enough to make High Venerables go mad.

"Hahaha!"

Kuang Dao Zun Zhe laughed heartily: "It seems we are going to get rich this time!"

"That's right!"

Tie Ying Zunzhe said with equal excitement: "As long as we get hold of these three Void Sands, it will be enough to equal our accumulation over countless ages!"

While saying this, Lu Qingshan and the other two almost instantly accelerated their flight speed to sub-light speed, then rushed rapidly toward the direction where the Void Sands were located.

It was not that they did not want to use teleportation to immediately reach the Void Sands and claim them; it was simply that once Void Sand appears, the void within a range of billions of kilometers around it is completely sealed, and except for a very few powerful figures possessing special means, others are completely unable to approach via teleportation.

Fortunately, the flight speed of those three Void Sands was not very fast, and the distance between them was not too great.

They only needed to increase their speed to sub-light speed, and it would not take long to catch up with those three Void Sands.

And while Lu Qingshan and the other two were rapidly flying toward the direction of those three Void Sands, on the other side, the three Meng Yao Zu Venerables led by Hei Lang Zunzhe also quickly discovered the whereabouts of the Void Sand through their large detectors.

"It is Void Sand!" Hei Lang Zunzhe's face was filled with excitement.

"That's right!"

Long Diao Zunzhe beside him said with equal excitement: "And this time three appeared at once; it seems our previous guess was correct!"

"Hurry and rush over to get hold of that Void Sand!"

Hei Lang Zunzhe instantly increased his speed to sub-light speed, then transmitted a voice saying: "If other powerful figures snatch it first, it will be disastrous!"

"Look at what you're saying!"

Long Diao Zunzhe likewise increased his speed to chase after them, then casually said, "This Qingku Secret Realm is so vast; how many powerful experts are there in total wandering it? How could it possibly be such a coincidence that we run into them?"

"That is true!"

Qing Lang Zunzhe nodded slightly, then likewise said, "However, it is better for us to obtain these three Void Sands as soon as possible; that way, we can feel more at ease!"

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The three powerful experts of the Meng Yao Zu instantly transformed into three streaks of light, flying toward the direction where the Void Sands were located.

However, the distance between Qing Lang Zunzhe and his two companions and the Void Sands was clearly greater than the distance between Lu Qingshan and his two companions; if no accident occurred, Lu Qingshan and his two companions would definitely catch up to those three Void Sands before them.

On the other side, Lu Qingshan, Kuang Dao Zun Zhe, and Tie Ying Zunzhe rapidly flew through the void, soaring over the wasteland, soaring over the mountains and forests, and very soon arrived near the three Void Sands, whose speed had already decreased significantly.

Hum!

Kuang Dao Zun Zhe directly let his divine power spread out, quickly completely enveloping the three Void Sands that were flying through the void.

Under the control of Kuang Dao Zun Zhe's divine power, the speed of these three Void Sands instantly began to drop rapidly until they came to a complete stop.

"Hahaha, we've got them!"

With a mere thought, Kuang Dao Zun Zhe instantly stored the three Void Sands into the world ring he carried with him.

Meanwhile, on the other side, although Qing Lang Zunzhe of the Meng Yao Zu side did not have the same speed as Lu Qingshan and his two companions, he had now arrived at a location over a million kilometers away from Lu Qingshan and his two companions.

For a Universe Zifeng Zunzhe, such a short distance, even if it could not be detected by a detector, could still allow one to sense the enemy's information through spatial fluctuations and the spread of divine power.

And after seeing Kuang Dao Zun Zhe instantly completely take away the three Void Sands, Qing Lang Zunzhe and his two companions on the Meng Yao Zu side became thoroughly enraged.

"Damn humans, hand over the Void Sands, or we will fight to the death!"

Qing Lang Zunzhe, whose whole body was surrounded by green light, instantly roared.

"It is experts of the Meng Yao Zu!"

At the moment when Qing Lang Zunzhe and his two companions discovered the whereabouts of Lu Qingshan and the others, Lu Qingshan and his two companions naturally immediately detected the whereabouts of the opponents as well.

"It is the Meng Yao Zu's Qing Lang Zunzhe, Long Diao Zunzhe, and Hei Lang Zunzhe!"

After detecting the aura of the arriving people, Kuang Dao Zun Zhe quickly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart: "Fortunately, the Void Sands have now fallen into our hands; these three Meng Yao Zu scum will definitely have made this trip for nothing this time!"

"Hahaha!"

Tie Ying Zunzhe, standing nearby, quickly said with a laugh, "Looking at their flustered and desperate appearance is truly gratifying! These Meng Yao Zu scum, in terms of strength, are not even comparable to us; they are just relying on their massive divine bodies to exhaust us!"

Hearing the words of Kuang Dao Zun Zhe and Tie Ying Zunzhe, Lu Qingshan could not help but be slightly stunned in his heart.

Judging by the words of Kuang Dao Zun Zhe and the other two, it seemed they did not take Long Diao Zunzhe and his two companions before them at all.

However, judging solely by strength, Kuang Dao Zun Zhe and the other two should be roughly equal to Qing Lang Zunzhe and Long Diao Zunzhe.

And since the Meng Yao Zu side has massive divine bodies, once a real battle breaks out, their side would definitely suffer losses.

But now, Kuang Dao Zun Zhe and the other two displayed an air of boldness, which naturally made Lu Qingshan quite puzzled.

Tie Ying Zunzhe, standing nearby, seemed to detect the puzzlement in Lu Qingshan's heart, then quickly said, "Wan Jie, you do not need to worry too much!"

"The two of us have dealt with Qing Lang Zunzhe and Long Diao Zunzhe before; although their divine bodies are slightly larger than ours, they are not to be feared!"

"Especially now that the Void Sands have fallen into our hands, their desire to snatch them is nothing but a fool's dream!"

At this time, Qing Lang Zunzhe and his two companions also rapidly rushed to the front of Kuang Dao Zun Zhe and the other two.

And upon seeing Lu Qingshan for that moment, a trace of killing intent flashed through Long Diao Zunzhe's heart, but he still restrained it for the time being.

"Damn human scum!"

Qing Lang Zunzhe, who had long since sealed off this region of space-time, instantly roared: "Hand over those three Void Sands, or we will fight to the death!"

"Qing Lang, you fool!"

Tie Ying Zunzhe directly spoke out in mockery: "You don't think you still have a chance to get those Void Sands, do you?"

"I originally thought that after seeing the Void Sands taken away by us, you would not waste any more time; I never expected you to be so stupid!"

"Seeking death!"

After hearing Tie Ying Zunzhe's words, Qing Lang Zunzhe, whose height reached ten kilometers, directly stomped a claw toward the direction where Lu Qingshan and his two companions were located.

Splash!

Tie Ying Zunzhe directly unleashed a blade of light, blocking the hoof-claw that was stomping toward the three of them, then directly transmitted a message to Kuang Dao Zun Zhe: "Kuang Dao, fighting these Meng Yao Zu scum is truly disadvantageous; this time, it will depend on you!"

"Rest assured!"

Kuang Dao Zun Zhe nodded slightly: "Storm God Temple!"

As soon as the words fell, a massive temple instantly appeared behind Kuang Dao Zun Zhe; this temple was over ten kilometers high, entirely green in color, and looked extremely ancient and simple.

At the same time this temple appeared, Kuang Dao Zun Zhe also quickly transmitted a message to Lu Qingshan: "Wan Jie, enter the temple quickly!"

At the same time, Kuang Dao Zun Zhe and Tie Ying Zunzhe instantly transformed into two streaks of light and rushed into the green temple behind them.

"It is actually a flying palace-type treasure!"

Lu Qingshan was slightly stunned, then likewise transformed into a streak of light and rushed into the green temple behind them.

Palace-type treasures are absolutely life-saving divine artifacts; except for soul attacks, they can almost resist and withstand all material attacks within their range.

And among the three powerful experts on the Meng Yao Zu side, none were proficient in soul attacks, and the power of their material attacks was insufficient to destroy this palace-type heavy treasure, so naturally, they could not pose any threat to them.

Indeed, after flying into the green palace, Kuang Dao Zun Zhe and Tie Ying Zunzhe also breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.

"I didn't expect such a twist to occur this time!"

Tie Ying Zunzhe said with a laugh: "However, the result this time is still good; we obtained the three Void Sands without much effort; this luck is truly too good!"

Kuang Dao Zun Zhe, standing nearby, looked at Lu Qingshan and said: "Wan Jie, just rest assured!"

"We have also dealt with Long Diao Zunzhe and Qing Lang Zunzhe before; with their strength, they are simply unable to harm us while we are inside a palace-type heavy treasure! Once they lift the space-time blockade, we can directly leave via teleportation!"

Tie Ying Zunzhe spoke out in mockery: "Damn Meng Yao Zu scum, didn't you say you would fight to the death? If you have the ability, then smash this palace-type heavy treasure of ours!"

And after hearing Tie Ying Zunzhe's mockery, Long Diao Zunzhe and Hei Lang Zunzhe both showed expressions of anger on their faces.

They wanted to give Tie Ying Zunzhe a heavy lesson, but with their strength, they were simply unable to harm Lu Qingshan and his two companions who were inside the palace-type heavy treasure.

Only Hei Lang Zunzhe remained calm; just as Long Diao Zunzhe and the other two were about to give up, he finally spoke.

"Kuang Dao, do you not think I know you possess a heavy treasure in the form of a flying palace?"

Hei Lang Zunzhe said with great disdain: "Last time in the Wu Hua Secret Realm, you escaped from my Meng Yao Zu's Tian Ming Zunzhe by relying on this very move!"

"What a pity! This time you have met me; you can only count yourself unlucky!"

Hearing these words, Kuang Dao Zun Zhe, who was inside the palace-type heavy treasure, immediately burst out laughing.

"Hei Lang, do you not think you are stronger than that Tian Ming Zunzhe?"

Kuang Dao Zun Zhe said with great disdain: "Even he could not do anything to me; what about you?"

"Yes! Because of me!"

The moment Hei Lang Zunzhe finished speaking, a three-story treasure tower, entirely crimson, instantly appeared behind him.
