Chapter 207: Trap

After Zhou Taihu used the spiritual talisman, the surrounding spiritual energy frantically poured into his body.

In an instant, his injuries healed, and the true energy within him thickened by more than double.

However, this talisman was too crudely made; once used, it would damage the foundation, causing his realm to drop.

Unless absolutely necessary, Zhou Taihu didn’t dare use it lightly.

“Zhou Taihu, do you really think that with just a mere spiritual talisman, you can compete with this Saint Son? You’re simply naive!”

The Young Man in Purple Robe sensed Zhou Taihu’s change and not only was he not shocked, but a hint of mockery crept onto his face.

“Wang Jiuyang, don’t forget, your family’s Great Saint Ancestor was merely a dog of my family once; how dare you oppose this Emperor Son!”

Zhou Taihu was right; the Wang family was indeed once a vassal power of the Zhou family, but that was tens of thousands of years ago.

Later, the Wang family gained a great opportunity; many talented members of the family returned to their ancestral lineage, awakening a large number of ancient divine bodies, thereby rising to prominence and gradually breaking free from Zhou family’s control, becoming a major Great Saint force.

Wang Jiuyang was provoked by this remark and immediately got angry.

“Relying on mere words is the act of a small person! Watch how this Saint Son suppresses you today!”

Wang Jiuyang spread his arms, and a dazzling golden sun appeared behind him.

Suddenly, his aura surged to the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage!

Even Lu Lingxi, who was nearby, couldn’t help but be shocked, her beautiful eyes wide open.

Having also practiced for a month, Wang Jiuyang had actually reached such a realm, completely crushing all his peers!

Zhou Taihu, illuminated by the golden light, felt a layer of fear creep into his heart unconsciously.

“Suppress!”

In the next moment, Wang Jiuyang made his move, golden light swirling on his palm, slamming down.

“You!”

Zhou Taihu was taken aback, wanting to dodge, but found that the golden light actually confined him.

With no choice, Zhou Taihu urged his full strength to withstand Wang Jiuyang’s palm.

“Bang!”

As their fists and palms clashed, Zhou Taihu’s figure was sent flying, his entire body’s bones shattered.

“Jumping clown.”

Wang Jiuyang indifferent withdrew his palm, exuding an air of being unrivaled in the world.

On Linghu Island, Chen Ansheng and Chen Yuling also witnessed this scene.

“It seems today is not suitable to deal with Lu Lingxi; it’s better to leave for now.”

Feeling the strength of Wang Jiuyang, far surpassing his peers, Chen Ansheng began to have second thoughts.

“That guy is really powerful; why is his talent so strong? I’m envious.”

Chen Yuling sighed softly beside him.

“Envy my foot.” Chen Ansheng snorted, saying, “If I’m not mistaken, that fellow’s physique just happens to align with the rules of the spiritual realm; while everyone else is becoming mortal, he still retains his former qualifications.”

“Ah?” Chen Yuling was surprised, “So you’re saying this Wang Jiuyang still retains his Jiuyang Divine Body? No wonder that golden sun behind him has appeared, greatly boosting his combat power!”

“Aren’t you also fortunate enough to accidentally awaken a inherited physique? With a bit more training, you won’t be worse than him. Let’s go find a place to hide and cultivate.”

“That’s true; my Taihuang Holy Body is no worse than his Jiuyang Divine Body.”

After saying that, Chen Yuling jumped onto Chen Ansheng’s back.

Since she had previously been teased for being too small, this time she deliberately pressed against his back, wanting to prove she’s not as small as he thought, humph.

Chen Ansheng didn’t think much of it, only feeling a plumpness on his back, which was somewhat comfortable.

About two hours later, the two had already traveled hundreds of miles away from Linghu.

“This place has thin spiritual energy and rarely anyone comes here, perfect for our cultivation.”

Chen Ansheng found a hiding spot and counted the resources he had acquired once more.

Then, they began their cultivation.

Chen Ansheng sat cross-legged in the valley, while absorbing the essence of the moon and refining and absorbing the spiritual liquid, his realm improved at a speed more than three times that of the other talents!

Unknowingly, half a month had passed.

On this day at noon, Chen Ansheng awoke from his meditation.

“Mid Foundation Establishment!”

With constant absorption of the essence of the sun and moon, along with the refinement of pure spiritual liquid, Chen Ansheng successfully established his foundation in just six days and reached mid Foundation Establishment in the subsequent nine days.

He was quite satisfied with his speed of cultivation.

He wanted to continue his training, but unfortunately, the spiritual liquid had run out.

Mainly because of Chen Yuling’s Taihuang Holy Body, which absorbed the spiritual liquid too voraciously; two-thirds of it had been used by her.

For this reason, Chen Yuling repeatedly apologized and promised not to use the spiritual liquid for cultivation anymore.

However, Chen Ansheng didn’t mind; without the old, the new wouldn’t come. With their current cultivation, seizing a spiritual mountain would be completely justified, so what were a few bottles of spiritual liquid?

“Yuling, accompany me on this expedition!”

“Understood, giggle.”

After discussing their plans, they decided to go out and scavenge. If they encountered a suitable spiritual mountain, they would occupy it as their base camp.

Then, the two strode confidently out of the valley.

Not far into their journey, they discovered a spiritual herb, a blue lotus, on a cliff.

“Eh? This place has thin spiritual energy; how can a blue lotus be born here?”

“This means we have extraordinary luck; I’ll go pick it!”

Chen Yuling dashed toward the blue lotus directly.

Just as she was about to touch the flower, red threads shot out, ensnaring her.

“Hiss, so painful!”

Chen Yuling was startled and immediately urged her spiritual power to try to break free.

But the harder she struggled, the tighter the threads bound her until she couldn’t move, hanging on the cliff.

“Hehehe.”

Then, a fit of delicate laughter resounded, and a girl in a red dress flew in from the cliff.

She grabbed Chen Yuling and looked at Chen Ansheng, “Young man, if you don’t come to rescue her, do you want to just watch this little one be devoured by me?”

Chen Ansheng frowned; this woman exuded a demonic aura and her cultivation was uncertain, definitely not like an Empress level talent entering the realm!

“Brother Ansheng, run! This demoness’ red threads are very powerful; don’t be deceived!”

Chen Yuling shouted anxiously.

Chen Ansheng roared in response, “Demoness, if you dare to kill, you will face heavenly punishment; quickly release her!”

“Hehehe.” The demoness laughed again, saying, “Fool, punishment for killing is for outsiders like you; it has nothing to do with this royal lady.”

“Mm?”

Chen Ansheng’s heart sank.

From the demoness’ tone, it was clear she was not an outsider without an army of talents.

When did a monster appear in this spiritual realm?

“Wait.”

Chen Ansheng recalled carefully; when he first entered the spiritual realm, he had used divine sense to scan most places, and aside from some spiritual insects and beasts, there was no trace of any demon repairs.

This indicated that this demoness had only appeared after the assessment began.

“Must be a test arranged by that spirit in control.”

Spiritual materials are often guarded by ferocious beasts or monsters, which is quite normal in the cultivation world.
