“As for the other treasures, let’s wait until we've finished exploring the seven-color treasure location before we divide them.” Chu Qing flung his sleeve and put away all the treasures.
Others also nodded, knowing that this was not the time to divide the treasures.
“The thing guarded by the dragon lizard is the most important treasure in this seven-color treasure location.” Li Qingchan cast her beautiful eyes to the depths of the cave where there was a crevice in the mountain wall. It was exuding incredibly pure energy.
Others also looked at it with blazing eyes, but that direction was the place where Tuntun was battling the dragon lizard.
Evidently, the dragon lizard was the last guardian beast.
Roar!
Under everybody’s gazes, the battle between Tuntun and the dragon lizard intensified. Both sides used their incredibly tough physical bodies to fight, causing the mountains to rock and the ground to quake.
While Zhou Yuan and others were watching intently, Yaoyao’s voice suddenly rang out, “Tuntun, stop playing around.”
In the battlefield, Tuntun, who was happily fighting the dragon lizard, suddenly released a majestic roar when it heard Yaoyao’s voice. The next moment, a beam of black light gushed from its tremendous mouth.
The black light whizzed out, wrapping around the golden dragon lizard’s body.
While that black light was twisting, everyone could see that it was engraving a mysterious mark onto the dragon lizard’s body.
Roar!
When the mark took shape, Tuntun lifted its head skywards and let out a deafening roar. The black light fully wrapped around the fiercely struggling dragon lizard, and then it ultimately returned to Tuntun, bringing the wrapped dragon lizard with it. Tuntun swallowed the gigantic dragon lizard into its stomach in one mouthful.
After swallowing the dragon lizard, Tuntun’s huge body also rapidly shrank and finally resumed its usual mini-form. But at this time its belly was bulging. It stretched out its claws and gently patted its stomach. Its flesh suddenly rippled like waves, and Tuntun let out a loud, satisfied belch.
Inside the cave, it was utterly quiet.
Even the numerous Chosen felt a chill surge in their hearts. It was clear that watching Tuntun swallow the dragon lizard, whose strength was comparable to that of a Chosen, had a great impact on them.
Li Qingchan, Kong Sheng and the others exchanged glances with one another, noticing the flicker of shock in each other’s eyes.
What Genesis Beast is that Tuntun? How could it be this terrifying...
Chapter 628 Flame Lotus
In the depths of the cave.
All eyes of the Cangxuan Sect disciples were wide with shock as they stared at Tuntun patting its bulging belly with a satisfied look on its face.
It was evident that the shock of Tuntun swallowing a dragon lizard wasn’t small at all.
Tuntun, however, paid no attention to their gazes. Rubbing its belly, it leapt up and landed on Zhou Yuan's head, and no matter how he shook his head, Tuntun was still lying steadily on it.
Seeing this, Zhou Yuan could only helplessly purse his lips and ignore Tuntun.
Chu Qing’s eyes lit up as he looked at Tuntun. “Tuntun can fight, and it is so cute. Junior brother Zhou Yuan, if you give Tuntun to me I will give you the position of Chosen in exchange!”
Li Qingchan and others couldn’t help but roll their eyes.
Tuntun, who was lying on top of Zhou Yuan's head, also cast a sidelong glance at Chu Qing and sneered.
Zhou Yuan also didn’t know whether to cry or laugh. He did not care for the position of Chosen. Moreover, the position of Chosen couldn’t be given away as one wished and required the agreement of the sect master!
Moreover, if Sect Master Qingyang knew that Chu Qing had traded this position away, he would most likely release a torrent of abuse.
“Don't act stupid here!” Li Qingchan said snappily. This Chu Qing was really enough to give her a headache sometimes.
Chu Qing gave an embarrassed chuckle when he saw that everybody was staring at him. “I’m joking...let's hurry to the last cave.”
While speaking, he quickened his pace and headed straight for the last cave.
Seeing this, the rest of the people also hastened over.
A moment later, the crowd gathered outside it. Chu Qing bravely took the lead and broke in.
The last cave was extremely spacious and vast, but after investigating and reaching its deepest parts, they found that it was completely empty. There wasn’t a single strange object inside, but the Genesis Qi was much more abundant than the outside.
“Where's the seven-color treasure location?” Everybody looked at each other in puzzlement. This was the place that the dragon lizard had guarded, and it was bound to be the most important place in the seven-color treasure location, but why was there nothing?
Chu Qing also rubbed his shiny head, a confused look crossing his face.
Kong Sheng and the other Chosen were almost unable to bear it any longer. They had worked incredibly hard to defend the seven-color treasure location. They found it difficult to accept this result.
“After we came here, nobody else had entered, and Tuntun fought the dragon lizard as soon as we came inside.” Tang Muxin knitted her brows.
“Should we search more carefully?” someone suggested.
During the chaos, Yaoyao left and went to the innermost mountain wall, stretched out her beautiful hand and closed her eyes.
Seeing this, Li Qingchan also turned her head to study the mountain wall but immediately scrunched her brows because she couldn’t sense anything strange.
After a moment, Yaoyao withdrew her palm and said slowly, “Break this wall.”
Everybody exchanged puzzled glances with one another, and finally Shang Chunqiu came forward, grinning. “Leave this kind of rough work to me.”
He came to stand in front of the mountain wall. He clenched his hands, and his body suddenly swelled up. His skin glowed with a jade light, and an indistinct silver light appeared within his blood and flesh.
A very terrifying force was surging in his body.
At the very back of the group, Zhou Yuan’s eyes narrowed as he studied Shang Chunqiu’s body. His flesh and blood were silver, which suggested he was at the silver bone stage, but the silver color was much purer than Zhou Yuan’s.
This was a true Mythic Saint Body.
Boom!
Shang Chunqiu thrust his fist out like an enraged dragon roaring into the air. His fist fiercely slammed into the solid mountain wall.
Kacha!
The mountain wall directly cracked, and countless fractures branched from where his fist had hit. In just a few seconds, they covered the entire mountain wall.
Rumble!
In the end the mountain wall collapsed.
Chu Qing flicked his sleeve, sending out Genesis Qi to sweep the crumbled boulders away.
All eyes were fixed on the mountain wall. Behind was an expanse of red gushing over towards them. The temperature inside the cave rocketed, and even the air approached sizzling.
A look of horror came to everybody’s eyes because behind the mountain wall was a magma lake.
Violent and scorching Genesis Qi gushed towards them endlessly, and even the air seemed to be burning.
“There is indeed something hidden here!” Li Qingchan exclaimed.
“The wall here is strange, and it isn’t made up of ordinary rocks. It can block the detection of Genesis Qi,” Chu Qing said with a smile as he picked up and for a moment studied a piece of rock that had tumbled off the wall.
“It’s thanks to Yaoyao.” Li Qingchan smiled. Even Chu Qing’s perception ability might not be able to match Yaoyao’s. At least, Chu Qing couldn’t sense the strangeness behind the mountain wall.
The crowd nodded, and they then carefully stepped through, stopping at the edge of the magma lake.
And when they came here, sweeping their eyes around, they immed
iately saw that in the center of the magma lake was a fiery red lotus floating on the lake’s surface.
“The treasure is there,” Chu Qing said with a smile as he rubbed his palms together.
The others’ eyes were also blazing. They were evidently also aware of the magnificent Genesis Qi inside the fiery red lotus flower.
Under everyone’s fiery gaze, the red lotus flower bloomed slowly, revealing a flame light in its centre. Surrounding it was a seven-color halo.
Everybody was emotionally moved when they laid eyes on the seven-color flame light.
“Seven-color Divine Establishing Treasure!”
Looking at the seven-color flame light, even Chosen would be unable to control their excitement, let alone ordinary disciples. Once one obtained a seven-color Divine Establishing Treasure, one could at the very least open a seven-color divine palace once one stepped into the Divine Dwelling stage.
There were only a few people among the Chosen who would have absolute certainty in opening a seven-color divine palace.
While all eyes were intently staring at the seven-color flame light, the flame lotus once again bloomed with a dazzling light. More than a dozen lotus seeds were near the lotus’ heart, and they were swallowing the light and constantly absorbing pure and powerful Genesis Qi from the magma.
The flame lotus seeds were emitting the purest Genesis Qi, causing the numerous Chosen’s hearts to pound rapidly. Their lips were dry, and their mouths were parched.
These lotus seeds were clearly also extremely rare treasures!
Under numerous blazing gazes, Chu Qing made a move. Transforming his Genesis Qi into a huge hand, he directly harvested the flame lotus from the magma lake.
The flame lotus floated over, hovering in front of the crowd.
Gazing at the lotus flower born from the spiritual qi of the heaven and the earth, Chu Qing smacked his lips, “Everyone, we should next split the treasures, which I believe everyone is looking forward to doing…”
Chapter 629 Debt
Blooming with seven-color light, the flame lotus floated in front of the crowd. The pure surging Genesis Qi radiating from within the lotus made everybody present unable to hide their greed anymore.
“Ahem, I will leave the important responsibility of dividing the treasure to junior sister Qingchan.” Chu Qing made a cough and turned to Li Qingchan with a wide smile.
Li Qingchan shot an irritated glance at him. Evidently, he found it troublesome and was worried that he wouldn’t be able to distribute them well.
However, she understood Chu Qing's character far too well and knew that there was no point in wasting time to persuade him. With the flick of her slender, beautiful fingers, the flame lotus flower, as well as the seven-color flame lotus seeds, was slowly raised into the air.
“These seven-color flame lotus seeds are greatly beneficial for cultivation and can enhance one’s Genesis Qi. All the Chosen here made a contribution and should each get one,” Li Qingchan said.
Li Qingchan flung her robe, and thirteen seven-color lotus seeds flew out. In addition to the ten great Chosen, Yaoyao, Tuntun and Zhou Yuan also each received one.
The other Chosen’s faces lit up with joy as they tightly clasped their seven-color lotus seeds and fondled them affectionately.
Yaoyao simply glanced at it before indifferently storing it away. Tuntun opened its mouth wide and immediately swallowed the seven-color lotus seed into its stomach.
Zhou Yuan curiously caught the flame lotus. Sensing the surging Genesis Qi contained within, emotions flickered across his face. If he could refine it, there would certainly be great improvements to his Genesis Qi foundation.
But unfortunately the share was too little. If it was a little more, perhaps he could have used it to make a breakthrough into the eighth layer Alpha-Origin stage and greatly strengthen his Genesis Qi foundation.
“The rest of the lotus seeds will be distributed according to one’s contribution in defending the seven-color treasure location.” Li Qingchang paused for a moment before she continued, “Yaoyao blocked the interference of the Sacred Palace and should receive another one.”
“Tuntun led the disciples to clear the seven-color treasure location and also killed the guardian beast, so it should also receive another one.”
She finally cast her beautiful eyes over to Zhou Yuan, opened her red lips and said, “I don’t need to speak about Zhou Yuan. If he hadn’t beaten Chai Ying, the situation now probably wouldn’t be as good, so he should also get another one. If there is an objection or suggestion please raise your hand.”
Chu Qing was the first to raise his hand, saying lazily, “I have no problem.”
Ye Ge also smiled, raising his hand.
Shang Chunqiu and the other Chosen were silent for a moment, and then nodded in agreement. After all, what Li Qingchan said was completely true and was indeed fair.
Kong Sheng wanted to express his opinion, but after seeing the others nod, he had no choice but to agree.
Upon seeing this, Li Qingchan flicked her finger, sending another three seven-color flame lotus seeds skimming through the air to Zhou Yuan, Yaoyao and Tuntun.
Zhou Yuan was overjoyed to receive the flame lotus. This distribution was really too advantageous for him.
“Senior sister Qingchan, it’s rare to see such a beautiful and fair person like you,” Zhou Yuan remarked with flatter.
Li Qingchan teasingly smiled. “Oh? Then compared to Yaoyao?”
Yaoyao, who was fiddling with the seven-color lotus seeds, suddenly lifted her stunning face, which was beautiful enough to make a person’s heart race. She stared curiously at Zhou Yuan.
Zhou Yuan’s forehead suddenly beaded with cold sweat. He had only spurted that out from excitement and hadn’t expected Li Qingchan to twist his words and push him in the deep end.
Women really are terrifying.
Seeing Zhou Yuan’s situation, the other Chosen watched on with a gloating look on their faces.
A charming smile spread across Li Qingchan’s face. “I’m just joking.”
Zhou Yuan forced a smile and hastily hid to one side as he held his seven-color lotus seeds. He was worried that Li Qingchan would give him another deadly question.
“As for the remaining seven-color flame lotus seeds, I will set them aside for now and observe everyone’s contribution after this. I suggest we save one to grant to the chief disciple who contributes the most.”
Li Qingchan smiled, looking at Zhou Yuan, and added, “Of course, Zhou Yuan is not on this list.”
Zhou Yuan was not surprised. He had already gathered a lot of attention from receiving two seven-color flame lotus seeds. If he were given another one, it would most likely raise a lot of dissatisfaction.
The other Chosen nodded, lighting up Tang Muxin’s face with joy.
“Next is the seven-color Divine Establishing Treasure.” Li Qingchan darted her eyes over to the seven-color flame light, hesitation flickering across her face.
This thing is too precious, it really is difficult to divide.
The other Chosen were also staring at the seven-color Divine Establishing Treasure with undisguised yearning.
Li Qingchan pondered for a moment before she added, “This thing isn’t easy to divide, but if a Chosen is interested in it, I suggest that we use twelve six-color Divine Establishing Treasures to exchange for it.”
Kong Sheng, Shang Chunqiu and others looked at each other in dismay. Twelve six-color Divine Establishing Treasures? This requirement was not easy. Even in this seven-color treasure location, they had only managed to obtain nine six-color Divine Establishing Treasures.
But they also knew what Li Qingchan meant. Since this object wasn’t easy to distribute among them, it might be better to let people directly exchange for it so that the six-color Divine Establishing Treasures could be divided equally with other Chosen.
There was only a small profit if twelve six-color Divine Establishing Treasures were used to exchange for a seven
-color Divine Establishing Treasure.
All the chosen went into deep thought. After all, it wasn’t a particularly easy thing to obtain twelve six-color Divine Establishing Treasures; it would no doubt consume a lot of time and energy.
“You do not need to hand over the twelve six-color Divine Establishing Treasures right away. The time limit will be before we leave the Mythic Utopia. If one is unable to complete it before then, you can choose to return the seven-color Divine Establishing Treasure or use other things of similar value in exchange for it,” Li Qingchan added when she saw the hesitation in everybody’s eyes.
Zhou Yuan licked his lips. Although he was salivating at the seven-color Divine Establishing Treasure, he would also shrink back if he needed to use twelve six-color Divine Establishing Treasures to exchange for it.
Moreover it was like carrying a huge debt...and all the other Chosen were his creditors.
The thought of the Chosen urging Zhou Yuan to quickly hand over six-color Divine Establishing Treasures whenever they saw him made him tremble a little.
So, after thinking about it, he kept silent.
Who wants it, can have it. There must be another chance to get a seven-color Divine Establishing Treasure later.
However, while Zhou Yuan kept silent, suddenly a clear and pleasant voice sounded, “Zhou Yuan wants that seven-color Divine Establishing Treasure.”
Zhou Yuan froze, twisting his head around to see Yaoyao smiling.
“Wait, I don't want it!” Zhou Yuan shouted in a hurry.
Li Qingchan clapped her hands and exclaimed with a smile. “Well, then this seven-color Divine Establishing Treasure belongs to Zhou Yuan. Congratulations.”
She waved her beautiful hand and sent the seven-color flame light drifting over to Zhou Yuan.
The other Chosen also applauded, smiling insincerely at Zhou Yuan. “Junior brother Zhou Yuan, we hope you can hand over twelve six-color Divine Establishing Treasures in time. Otherwise, we'll keep reminding you.”
