Chapter 670 -233: The Chao Tian Sect’s Collective Retreat (10,000 words). _3
All disciples of Chao Tian Sect and the giant dragons of the Dragon Clan were mobilized. After clearing the ruins completely, they placed the Heavenly Palace at the peak of the mountain, built a fence around it, and then constructed some basic facilities. Afterward, they prepared to begin this session of closed-door cultivation.
These fences could hardly be said to have any defensive effect; they were built at Fat Long’s request. According to Fat Long, with the fences, there was a sense of home.
Chen Qiu didn’t object, as he somewhat agreed with this idea.
Deep down, he felt that just by enclosing an area, even if it was only with a fence that provided no defense, there was still a warm feeling.
After everything was done!
The top-notch Spirit Gathering Array was activated.
The Demon Suppression Tower situated within the Heavenly Palace began to operate, and the Ascending Dogs and Chickens Domain totem was activated.
All members of Chao Tian Sect, including the Dragon Clan, immediately entered a state of seated cultivation; this closed-door session was a collective one for everyone.
Soon—
Everyone started circulating their mental methods and entered into cultivation. At that moment, the entire Heavenly Palace was enveloped in mist, a sign of the rapid flow of Spiritual Energy. Majestic Spiritual Energy flowed swiftly above everyone’s heads.
And the surrounding Spirit Stones were constantly shattering
The top-notch Spirit Gathering Array was already consuming Spirit Stones, especially with so many people using it concurrently, which increased the consumption.
In one day, about 30,000 Spirit Stones were needed. Chen Qiu alone consumed over 10,000. It was originally 10,000, but with the amplification from the Demon Suppression Tower and the Ascending Dogs and Chickens Domain, among other techniques, his cultivation speed had increased, and thus, the speed at which he absorbed Spiritual Energy had also quickened.
The Spirit Stones in the Spirit Gathering Array needed to be replenished once depleted.
So…
Chen Qiu released the entire Brown Bear Clan, tasking them with the replacement of Spirit Stones and, incidentally, allowing these brown bears to cultivate as well. The brown bears’ Cultivation was only at the Golden Core Stage, and even if they absorbed as much as they could, the consumption would be minimal.
After everyone entered the state of cultivation, Chen Qiu stood up and walked outside the Heavenly Palace with Ao Tian.
…
High up hundreds of miles in the sky.
Chen Qiu opened the Heavenly Mechanism Umbrella and stood suspended in mid-air, looking at Ao Tian and softly said, “Don’t be afraid, cross your Void Refining Heavenly Tribulation with ease. If you feel you can’t withstand it at any moment, just transform into your dragon form, shrink down, and hide in my embrace. I’ll protect you.”
“Okay!”
Ao Tian took a deep breath, adjusted his state to its peak, and then said hoarsely, “Unless it’s a life-threatening danger, I will still try to withstand the Heavenly Tribulation myself. Lightning tribulations are quite helpful for the Dragon Clan, as they can make our physical bodies stronger after the Body Refining from the Heavenly Thunder.”
“Mhm.”
Chen Qiu nodded lightly and didn’t say much more.
Immediately afterward, Ao Tian turned into a streak of light and shot tens of miles away. Roughly a thousand breaths later, the entire sky began to slowly gather dark clouds, and the sound of Heavenly Thunder rumbled faintly in the sky.
Then, a terrible White Heavenly Tribulation fiercely streaked across the night sky and slammed down on Ao Tian!
At this moment, Ao Tian already transformed into his dragon shape to confront the Heavenly Tribulation.
Even though they were tens of miles away, one could clearly see Dragon Blood already spattering, and three or four Dragon Scales had been shattered and scattered in the sky.
“…”
Chen Qiu’s lips twitched slightly; he finally understood why Ao Tian had always been so apprehensive about the Void Refining Heavenly Tribulation. Although he had passed the Void Refining Heavenly Tribulation, even the 99th layer of it, this was his first time watching someone else undergo the tribulation up close.
During his own Void Refining Heavenly Tribulation, to be honest, he didn’t feel much. Except for the last strike, which was a bit painful, the earlier parts felt like he was bathing naked in a pool of Szechuan pepper—tingling all over without much pain.
But…
Why did Ao Tian’s first bolt of the Void Refining Heavenly Tribulation look like it was going to directly strike Ao Tian dead?
Was the Void Refining Heavenly Tribulation this terrifying?
Right after that.
“Boom, boom, boom…”
Several more layers of the Void Refining Heavenly Tribulation struck Ao Tian, with Dragon Blood and Dragon Scales flying everywhere. Chen Qiu looked down towards the forest below Ao Tian; a lot of Dragon Blood was sprinkling down from the sky.
In a few hundred years, or perhaps even longer,
this Dragon Blood might have a chance to catalyze “Dragon Blood Grass,” “Dragon Blood Fruit,” and so on—valuable natural treasures. For example, Dragon Blood Fruit was an excellent ingredient for refining Foundation Establishment pills, and one fruit priced around 200 Mid-grade Spirit Stones.
Using Dragon Blood Fruit to refine Foundation Establishment pills could make one’s Foundation Establishment sturdier, strengthen one’s base, and even enhance physical strength to a certain degree. freewёbnoνel.com
It was like leaving a bit of fortune in Xuantian State.
Perhaps a few hundred years later, a young man might stumble upon this place.
This young man, belonging to a certain familial sideline, might have lost his parents who died protecting the clan, while the clan always sidelined him, denying him any Cultivation Resources. The children from the main family might even bully and insult him every day. Then, by chance, this young man wanders into this place and discovers a stash of Dragon Blood Grass and Dragon Blood Fruit, marking the beginning of his own rise to power.
Thinking of this,
Chen Qiu couldn’t help but let out a light chuckle. It seemed that the world itself was a cycle; while seizing opportunities, one would also unwittingly leave some opportunities for others. These Dragon Blood Fruits held no value or use for him,
but for those at the Foundation Establishment and Golden Core stages, that was a considerable amount.
After all, breaking through from Foundation Establishment to Golden Core required forty-nine Mid-grade Spirit Stones. Back in Da Xia Country, many people at the peak of Foundation Establishment were held back by these forty-nine Spirit Stones, and one Dragon Blood Fruit was worth 200 Mid-grade Spirit Stones.
