Chapter 82: Holy Land Assassination
Upon these words, everyone fell into silence, and all loose cultivators were filled with grief.
Lost!
All lost!
Savings accumulated over decades or even centuries were wiped out in an instant. With the Sacred Land Families setting the example with their treasures and jades, many had even staked their lives and fortunes. However, the powerhouses of the Sacred Land Families showed a hint of joy on their faces, for they had long since made up their minds; victory or defeat meant nothing to them. To them, the better the items cut from the stones, the happier they were. This Immortal Treasure Black Iron was truly excellent, its value incalculable. Even if all the Sacred Land Families split it evenly, each would still gain a substantial share. They never expected that this youth, Jiang Tun, would bring them such a surprise before his death. Truly... he died a fitting death.
"Impossible, impossible to lose!"
"Didn't you Sacred Land Families say Jiang Tun would definitely lose? You're lying."
"Impossible, absolutely impossible, ahhh! This is all my property. How am I supposed to live now?"
Over ten thousand cultivators wailed in unison, unable to accept reality. The people of the Sacred Land Families watched coldly, sneering in their hearts. These people rose early and worked late to gather spirit medicines, earning only ten thousand or several thousand jin of Source per year. They pinched every penny to gamble on stones, dreaming of striking it rich overnight, but they had no idea who the true winner was.
"Fellow Cultivators and Seniors, it seems the next two stone materials need not be cut."
Jiang Xuan spoke slowly, stepping forward, preparing to take all the Source, magic treasures, and materials for himself.
"Wait, we haven't lost yet. Although this Immortal Treasure Black Iron of yours is indeed an Emperor Exclusive Sacred Object, we bet on Divine Medicine Immortal Gold. Black Iron is not among the Nine Great Immortal Golds, so we haven't lost." An impassioned voice rose from the crowd.
"Right, we haven't lost."
"We haven't lost."
The voices surged like a tide, shaking the heavens. Unexpectedly, there was still a turn of events, and all the loose cultivators were instantly invigorated, shouting together.
The powerhouses of the Sacred Land Families were stunned. They had all been preparing to arrange for Jiang Tun's enemies to appear and kill him, then seize all his wealth. The thieves were fierce and well-prepared, but the Sacred Land Families were momentarily careless and failed to keep him.
As for whether this group of loose cultivators believes the truth or not, does it matter?
Jiang Xuan was also startled by this sudden outcry. He didn't expect there to be such experts. Good, good, good, so this is how you want to play?
"What you all say is not without reason. Since that is the case, let us continue cutting the stones." Jiang Xuan seemed completely indifferent and did not argue. The stone material known as the Magic Embryo hovered in the air, held aloft by Jiang Xuan's magic power.
This time, the stone cutting was not as crude as before. Yin-Yang Two Qi circulated, slowly cutting around the Magic Embryo. The stone skin was peeled away, revealing the Divine Source within. However, unlike the black light Divine Source that appeared when the Immortal Treasure Black Iron emerged, this Divine Source rippled with dazzling purple light.
The Divine Source was valuable, but at this moment, no one paid attention to the Divine Source itself; instead, they cared about what was inside it. Now everyone's mood became anxious, and the previously unwavering belief vanished completely at this moment.
This youth Jiang Tun was too strange. He had already cut out Emperor Sacred Objects three times in a row. Strictly speaking, the previous Immortal Treasure Black Iron was a case of them going back on their word.
However, between keeping faith and fairness and going back on their word to save their lives and fortunes, they chose the latter without hesitation.
The stone skin on the surface of the Magic Embryo was gradually worn away by the Yin-Yang Two Qi. Then, a dazzling purple radiance soared into the sky, and a rich medicinal fragrance spread throughout the Dao Yi Stone Workshop, as if an Immortal Beast had descended to the Mortal World.
"Quick, look, what is inside the Divine Source? Please, don't let it be Immortal Gold!"
"Purple radiance soars into the sky, the light is dazzling. What is inside the Divine Source cannot be seen clearly. What exactly is it?"
The Divine Source gradually stopped radiating light. The brilliance receded, and what was inside gradually appeared.
"What kind of demon beast is this?"
"Dragon head, deer antlers, lion eyes, carrying the map of heaven on its back. This is a Purple Qilin. Heavens, the legendary Immortal Beast Qilin actually exists."
The Purple Qilin inhaled the Spirit Qi of Heaven and Earth, and the essence of the sun and moon all entered its mouth. It emitted a pungent medicinal fragrance. Just smelling this fragrance made every cultivator present feel refreshed and invigorated, as if they had taken a hundred spirit materials, and even more like undergoing a world-shaking baptism.
"It really is a Qilin, a being said to stand equal to a True Dragon. The legends are actually true. This is heaven-defying."
"Strange, why is this Qilin so small? And what is this pungent medicinal fragrance?"
Everyone was shocked and doubtful, unsure if this was truly the Immortal Beast Qilin. Someone wanted to refute it, but the appearance of this purple little beast could not be faked. It was exactly like the Qilin of legend. That auspicious aura made people feel as if they were in the Immortal Sacred Realm of the Immortal Realm, supremely divine and supremely holy.
"I understand. This is the Qilin Immortality Medicine. More precisely, it is the seed of the Qilin Immortality Medicine. It is said that in Ancient Times, a God War swept across the Northern Dipper Great Land. The Qilin Divine Medicine was robbed, and the Qilin Immortality Medicine in the midst of Nirvana was sealed within the Divine Source. I never expected it to be cut out here." A powerhouse of a Holy Land suddenly spoke, his eyes burning with heat, wishing to immediately seize this Divine Medicine.
"What, the seed of the Qilin Immortality Medicine!"
"It really is a Divine Medicine!"
After a silence.
"No, I don't believe it!"
"It must be fake. It cannot be a Divine Medicine."
"Return my Source, my two hundred jin of Pure Source!"
"How is it possible, how is it possible for someone to cut out four Divine Medicines and Immortal Golds in one day? This is fake, this is a scam, I don't believe it!"
"Fellows, it seems I have won again." Jiang Xuan once again slowly approached Source Mountain, cupped his hands, and his magic power swept across, taking all the Source, magic treasures, and spirit medicines away.
"Indeed, a bet is a bet. These things are all yours now." A powerhouse spoke, his gaze indifferent. The people of the Sacred Land Families around him, except for the powerhouse of the Jiang Family, all looked at Jiang Xuan filled with coldness, as if looking at a dead man.
Suddenly!
A Heaven Swallowing Gourd appeared in the Void, stirring the wind and clouds. From its spout spurted a streak of pitch-black silk, heading straight for the top of Jiang Xuan's head. Then, a black-clad man whose face was shrouded in a misty light appeared, and with another grab of his hand, he wanted to take Jiang Xuan away entirely.
This was a Hua Long Realm cultivator. A secret treasure within him concealed his aura and appearance, and he was not affected by the attack.
"Jiang Tun, you killed my parents. This hatred is irreconcilable. Die!"
Two strands of Yin-Yang Qi soared into the sky, like two Heavenly Knives spanning the heavens. Pitch-black and crimson light illuminated Heaven and Earth. Two utterly opposite powers surged out like a World Annihilation Millstone.
The Yin-Yang Mirror Light crisscrossed, and an overwhelming momentum pierced through the Void.
Jiang Xuan thought there might be some twists, but he didn't expect the methods of the Sacred Land Families to be so simple and direct. However, if he hadn't been well-prepared, how could he dare to face so many powerhouses head-on?
"Ah!"
The Yin-Yang Power directly pierced through the black-clad man's entire body, and along with it, this Heaven Swallowing Gourd was shattered and fell into Jiang Xuan's hands.
"What?"
"A Hua Long Second Layer Heaven actually couldn't withstand a single move from him?"
Several powerhouses of the Holy Lands were secretly surprised. They really hadn't expected this youth to also be in the Hua Long Realm, and to have progressed so far in this realm. How is this possible? Even the most outstanding younger generation of their Sacred Land Families was only at the Four Extremes Realm. Among the younger generation of the Eastern Wasteland Land, how could anyone reach such a realm?
Several powerhouses exchanged glances, and one of them quietly disappeared.
The powerhouse of the Jiang Family secretly sighed in relief. Just now he had been about to step in to block, but he didn't expect Jiang Xuan to resolve it himself. But is he really just a youth? A Hua Long Second Layer Heaven actually had no power to resist.
