Shocking the Nine Heavens With My Sword-Chapter 811 - 788 Chi Wei Appears (3/3)

Heavenly Mysterious Spirit Crystal!

As soon as these words were spoken, both Dragon Sovereigns revealed a look of surprise. Seeing their expressions, Zhou Heng knew that his guess was correct without needing further confirmation.

Previously, he had encountered a terrifyingly powerful woman named Wang Youyue in the Forty-Nine Immortal City, who was certainly from the Bright Realm and had been tasked with searching for the Heavenly Mysterious Spirit Crystal in the Immortal Realm. Since one faction was doing this, why not a second or third?

Otherwise, why would the dignified Dragon Clan need to advance into the Immortal Realm aside from the Heavenly Mysterious Spirit Crystal? Moreover, over three million years ago, when the Dragon Emperor aimed to unify the Immortal Realm and exterminate all clans, was the true goal not the Heavenly Mysterious Spirit Crystal?

Zhou Heng looked at the two Empresses, expecting them to provide him with answers.

"Indeed!" Seeing Zhou Heng mention the Heavenly Mysterious Spirit Crystal, the Blue Dragon Empress no longer concealed the truth and readily nodded in agreement. Furthermore, Zhou Heng had two incredibly powerful Bright Realm Big Shots beside him, who were entitled to know about the matter of the Bright Realm.

"What exactly is the Heavenly Mysterious Spirit Crystal?" Zhou Heng could not fathom the answer.

"The Heavenly Mysterious Spirit Crystal contains the mysteries of heaven and earth, and is indispensable for martial artists in the Bright Realm to break through realms!" said the Blue Dragon Empress.

"Can’t one rely on personal comprehension?" Zhou Heng asked, perplexed, as breaking through realms was as natural as eating and drinking to him; he had never encountered any difficulties and could not imagine being hindered by a lack of comprehension.

"Only a very few, a very few people, can rely on their own comprehension to break through. People like us cannot, as our bloodline is not pure enough, making it impossible to draw sufficient understanding from it!" said the Blue Dragon Empress.

"But Dragon Clan members with pure bloodlines can advance effortlessly without the constraints of realm comprehension!" the Red Dragon Empress continued.

"In the Bright Realm, bloodline determines the ultimate height one can reach!"

"Unless they obtain the Heavenly Mysterious Spirit Crystal!"

The two Dragon Empresses spoke alternately, as if performing a seamless dialogue.

"A treasure indeed!" The Black Donkey drooled on the side, then reached out with two hooves to strangle Zhou Heng’s neck, "You wastrel, actually giving such a precious treasure to an Old Swindler!"

It knew about Zhou Heng trading the Heavenly Mysterious Spirit Crystal for an Immortal Level Doll, which seemed like a fantastic deal back then but now appeared as a big loss!

However, Zhou Heng smiled slightly; what treasure could compare to the life of his beloved wife?

"How is the Heavenly Mysterious Spirit Crystal obtained?" Zhou Heng asked.

"It is nurtured by a planet undergoing countless years of development, from creation to natural destruction, and even then only a small piece of Heavenly Mysterious Spirit Crystal is produced!" The Blue Dragon Empress gestured with her hands, about the size of a fist.

"Star Core!" Zhou Heng immediately understood.

"A Star Core is not a Heavenly Mysterious Spirit Crystal, but the Crystal is housed within the Star Core!" explained the Blue Dragon Empress.

Zhou Heng understood that while he could not absorb the Heavenly Mysterious Spirit Crystal, the Star Core had previously propelled him to the Moonlight King of Twenty-One Wheels in one go. The true entity absorbing the Heavenly Mysterious Spirit Crystal was actually the rune on his forehead—now given to Zhou Yuhe.

This indicated just how incredibly precious the Heavenly Mysterious Spirit Crystal was, as even the rune gifted by Huo Tian could benefit from it.

Evidently, many forces from the Bright Realm had indeed entered the Immortal Realm to search for the Heavenly Mysterious Spirit Crystal. But with the great battle that erupted millions of years ago, all the planets in the Immortal Realm were destroyed, making it impossible to nurture any new Heavenly Mysterious Spirit Crystal, only to search for those that drifted in the Starry Sky after the ancient destruction of a planet.

Thus, the Bright Realm did not deploy too many people, just one or two, perhaps four or five, relying on the "natives" of the Immortal Realm to search, unlike the Mortal Realm which even had Big Shots like the Old Swindler personally searching.

This suggests that both the Immortal Realm and Mortal Realm should be equally precious to the Bright Realm, akin to a herbal garden providing abundant, inexhaustible Heavenly Mysterious Spirit Crystal.

What, then, was the reason for blasting the Immortal Realm?

What irreconcilable grudge caused the opposing sides to erupt into such a level of battle back then, ultimately leading to the collapse of the Immortal Realm?

This reason was unknown to the two Dragon Empresses, as they were suppressed long before!

"You brat, you absorbed an entire Star Core, spit it out for me!" The Black Donkey was even more envious; Zhou Heng had obtained a whole Star Core! No wonder even Rong Jianlong from the Bright Realm was tempted by greed back then.

"Let’s not worry about this for now, let’s quickly snatch the Seven Stars Fruit!" Zhou Heng kicked the Black Donkey to the side.

Although their speed was not fast at the moment, they did not need to rest at all. Furthermore, the island was small, and after more than an hour, they reached the depths of the island, which was a gorge surrounded on three sides by mountains, with only one accessible entrance.

Though flying was not prohibited here, the poison fog over the heights discouraged many from recklessly traversing through it, making the single entrance the preferred route.

"Then—" With the bloodline’s sense, the Blue Dragon Empress immediately pointed to the mountain peak.

But actually, it wasn’t the peak, rather a cliff near the summit, protruding to form a giant platform, with a nest made of five-colored stones, containing two peculiar demon beasts.

Dragon head with a fish body, their mouths continuously opening and closing, seemingly swallowing something, each time they opened their mouths, a poisonous mist spewed out as if stirring up trouble.

Is the entire swamp’s poisonous mist formed by these two demon beasts?

"So these are Chi Wei, your relatives?" Zhou Heng looked at the Blue Dragon Empress.

Although Zhou Heng was correct, it sounded somewhat awkward. The Blue Dragon Empress glared at him, saying, "Distant relatives!"

Zhou Heng nodded, these two Chi Wei looked only ten zhang long, fish bodies covered with fist-sized scales, entirely bright green, yet their dragon whiskers were pitch-black, exuding a stern aura.

They couldn’t possibly be the first here; Zhou Heng’s gaze swept across, seeing at least four other groups, but the group that previously ambushed them in the swamp had not appeared.

Counting the two Chi Wei, Zhou Heng’s group of three plus one donkey made six factions.

There must be several factions hidden in the shadows yet unexposed, thus when the Seven Stars Fruit matures, a big battle is inevitable, potentially even compared to the siege of the Dragon Clan’s one Emperor and five Sovereigns three million years ago!

Of course, this time the ones being besieged won’t be the two Dragon Clan Empresses, everyone’s first target will undoubtedly be the two Chi Wei. First, they are closest to the Seven Stars Fruit, second, they are the local tyrants, certainly with the strongest battle power here, and need to be eliminated first.

Speaking of Seven Stars Fruit, Zhou Heng focused his gaze, only to see at the edge of the platform indeed growing a strange plant, barely two feet high, stem having seven sections, each with a fruit the size of a longan, emitting charming starlike luster.

"Haha, two more fairies have arrived!" A middle-aged man laughed, his power absolutely terrifying, surrounded by dark currents indicating his power is nearly uncontainable by this world, ready to take the final step to ascend to the Bright Realm at any moment!

Their faction has another presence with unfathomable strength but inferior to him, along with a strikingly beautiful lady, black hair like clouds, skin white as jade, as if she stepped out of a painting.

This faction only had three people, if the black donkey was dismissed, their numbers matched Zhou Heng’s group.

The two Dragon Clan Empresses glanced at this man, revealing a hint of shock. Even they had to be moved by such an expert—seems that despite the general decline of the Martial Path level in the Immortal Realm over three million years, the standard of top experts had not decreased but improved!

This kind of presence had already qualified to confront them!

"Boss Fang, aren’t the people almost enough?" Another faction’s middle-aged beautiful woman spoke with a smile, her figure luscious, with a seductive charm.

The mentioned Boss Fang was the middle-aged man who spoke earlier; they were Star Sea bandits, naturally less formal, more wild.

Obviously, this "Boss Fang" held considerable prestige among the factions, as everyone focused their gaze to him, seemingly waiting for him to give orders.

"Two fairies, shall we first team up to kill these two Chi Wei? As for how to distribute the Seven Stars Fruit, that’s a matter for later, otherwise eliminating Chi Wei is futile even with grand plans!" Boss Fang evidently had already spoken with the other factions, now only needing Zhou Heng’s group’s consent.

"Moreover—" Boss Fang didn’t wait for the Dragon Sovereign to express, he continued, "Surely everyone knows there are other factions coveting from the shadows; we can temporarily form a defensive alliance to sweep away those cowards!"

The two Dragon Clan Empresses simultaneously looked at Zhou Heng, clearly indicating reliance on his decision.

Zhou Heng thought for a moment, then nodded, saying, "Boss Fang, let’s temporarily ally!"

Witnessing this, members of the other four factions expressed surprise!

This kid was only a Sublimation Emperor, yet those two women were genuine Bright Immortals, why did they let Zhou Heng decide? It looked as if a wife were asking a husband!

Completely irrational!

Could a mere Sublimation Emperor catch a Bright Immortal’s eye? Even if in favor, should it not be as a plaything, how could he earn respect?

Did this boy possess extraordinary talent, conquering these super experts in bed?

For a moment, everyone’s expressions were indescribably strange.

"Humans, you are courting death, I advise you to escape while you can; otherwise, soon there won’t be a chance!" At this moment, a Chi Wei atop the mountain spoke, a true divine beast, speaking was easy as transforming human, no difficulty at all.

"How arrogant!" The beautiful woman coldly snorted, a Four Aspects Bright Immortal, her gaze filled with chill. With a flick of her slender fingers, an embroidery needle shot forth. Swish swish swish, the needle split into two, two into four, four into eight, instantly transformed into a torrential rainstorm, shooting towards the two Chi Wei atop the mountain. (To be continued.
