Chapter 667: Creating Confusion

Three days passed.

Chen Huaian had Gu Changsheng keep an eye on Muscle Tyrant.

This evil entity was actually quite well-behaved—ever since returning to the C Province Exorcist Division, it had been diligently playing the role of Muscle Tyrant.

Little did it know that aside from Zhao Ying, Xiang Xiaoyuan, and a few others who remained unaware, everyone in Containment Area 0—Nine-Turn Spirit Orchid, Little Qing, even Strawberry Bear and Shrimp King—had all detected something wrong.

They simply refrained from exposing it due to Chen Huaian's instructions.

But they still maintained their distance from Muscle Tyrant, no longer as familiar as before.

Judging by the inner thoughts of the evil entity that had possessed Muscle Tyrant, this fellow felt quite pleased with itself, completely unaware that its performance had any issues.

Chen Huaian decided to let it be.

Over these three days, he spent almost every day cultivating for 30 hours in the Cangyun Realm.

His time was roughly split equally between normal cultivation and dual cultivation with Li Qingran.

Li Qingran was being thoroughly "fed," and her cultivation level was skyrocketing. Both of them had now reached the mid-stage Nascent Soul realm.

Even Zhang Yibai was secretly astonished by their cultivation speed.

After reaching mid-stage Nascent Soul, the highest-level Moon Shadow Sect cultivator he could summon using the Sect Summoning Token had reached the fifth level of Void Shattering.

And this fifth-level Void Shattering cultivator was the key to seizing the Celestial Jade Marrow this time!

Additionally, to create confusion, he had prepared a little surprise for that demon immortal's avatar.

...

The north wind swept across the land, withering all vegetation.

At the site of the Celestial Jade Marrow eruption, Hua Jin the True One had already led the Kunlun Immortal Palace disciples to assume defensive positions.

This time, she showed no courtesy whatsoever, directly occupying all possible locations where the Celestial Jade Marrow might erupt.

When ascenders from other sects finally calculated the locations and rushed over, they discovered the areas where the Celestial Jade Marrow would erupt were already covered by a massive formation.

And the Kunlun Immortal Palace members were right in the center of the formation.

"This... what does Kunlun Immortal Palace mean by this!" someone complained quietly. "Previously, Hua Jin the True One would inform us in advance about Celestial Jade Marrow eruption locations. Now she's bringing her disciples to set up formations and occupy them ahead of time? How selfish!"

"Exactly! But I heard Hua Jin the True One was crippled, right? Why does her aura feel even stronger than before?"

"Heh, you guys don't know about this?

A centipede dies but never falls down—what would be a fatal blow for us is actually an opportunity for someone like Hua Jin the True One!

Wasn't there turmoil in Kunlun Immortal Palace before? Everyone said Kunlun Immortal Palace had good treasures, but I haven't seen any fellow cultivators who went to seize things come back."

"Do they just not like returning? I'm afraid they simply can't come back..."

...

Hua Jin the True One could faintly hear the discussions of these ascenders on the mountain ridge.

But she currently held no favorable opinion of these ascenders.

The memory of these sects kicking someone when they were down during Kunlun Immortal Palace's crisis remained vivid in her mind.

That she hadn't slaughtered them all or driven away these sect ascenders already counted as mercy.

Moreover, last time Kunlun Immortal Palace failed to obtain much Celestial Jade Marrow, as it was mostly seized by a group of mysterious entities.

Today, she absolutely must secure more for Kunlun Immortal Palace.

During the second Celestial Jade Marrow eruption, there were typically ten pieces of premium Celestial Jade Marrow.

Her demands weren't high—she'd be quite satisfied with seizing seven or eight pieces. Additionally, she wanted to see whether Senior Zhang and Senior Gu had any connection to those mysterious entities that seized the Celestial Jade Marrow.

A doubt always lingered in her heart that she couldn't resolve.

Only if Zhang Yibai and Gu Changsheng stood by her side today could she truly feel at ease.

...

The daylight gradually slanted, the crimson sunset gathering its final remnant glow at the mountain's edge.

Hua Jin the True One sat alone in meditation on a rock, her divine sense expanding to commune with the rules of heaven and earth, her plain white daoist robe gently billowing in the invisible energy field.

In the air, invisible to the naked eye, the concentration of spiritual energy was gradually rising.

The Purple Star flickered in the sky above, while faint purple energy approached from the east.

Experienced cultivators would recognize these as signs that treasures were about to appear.

The richer the purple energy at the horizon, the more precious the emerging treasure. This time, the gathered purple energy was much stronger than during the first Celestial Jade Marrow eruption.

"They're here."

Hua Jin the True One opened her eyes, a cold light flashing deep within them.

It wasn't the Celestial Jade Marrow that had arrived, but the people from Great Thunder Temple!

The moment her words fell, a terrifying pressure as heavy as a mountain range surged forth like tangible tidal waves from the mountain pass on the western side of the basin.

The loose cultivators who had been quietly discussing and harboring their own thoughts suddenly fell silent like ducks with their necks wrung.

Those with slightly weaker cultivation grunted, their faces turning pale as they staggered backward, feeling as if a massive stone were pressing on their chests, making even breathing extremely difficult.

The air seemed to solidify into ice, carrying a heart-palpitating coldness and killing intent.

At the western mountain pass, space slightly distorted as a massive figure slowly manifested.

The newcomer was an extremely obese great monk.

Nearly ten feet tall, his body was as massive as a moving mountain of flesh, draped in a large red kasava embroidered with swastikas in gold thread, yet unable to conceal the surging evil aura beneath.

The kasava stretched taut over his enormous frame as if it might tear at any moment, his bloated face piled with horizontal flesh that nearly squeezed his eyes into thin slits.

Yet the gaze emanating from those slits was like eternal ice—cold, authoritative, and carrying the indifference of one looking down upon ants.

He held one hand vertically before his chest, his thick fingers adorned with a string of prayer beads that were neither metal nor wood, faintly glowing with a dark red bloody light.

Boom! Boom! Boom—!

With each step he took, the ground seemed to tremble slightly.

Dark golden Sanskrit characters floated around the fat monk that Chen Niu had transformed into, dyeing half the sky pale gold.

The surrounding sect cultivators stared dumbfounded at Chen Niu, their lips and teeth growing cold.

Although they couldn't discern Chen Niu's exact cultivation level, just the oppressive pressure he exuded was beyond their ability to resist.

"Hua Jin the True One, it's been a while~"

Chen Niu stared at Hua Jin the True One, completely ignoring the formation patterns drifting around the basin.

So what if they set up a formation in advance? He only needed to destroy it.

Setting up a formation while leaving the formation patterns visible showed just how foolish the person who arranged it was.

Hua Jin the True One's expression darkened as she looked at Chen Niu. "It's you?!"

She recognized Chen Niu—he was the strongest among the five demon immortals.

She had thought a different demon immortal's avatar would be sent down this time. If it was Chen Niu, then things would be difficult...

This showed that the existence behind Great Thunder Temple was determined to obtain the Celestial Jade Marrow this time.

In the past, she might have shown Chen Niu some courtesy.

But now she had Zhang Yibai and Gu Changsheng, so she had nothing to fear!

At this moment, Zhang Yibai and Gu Changsheng, stationed at the formation core within the earth veins, frowned slightly.

They also sensed the bizarre aura of Buddhist energy and demonic energy fused together on Chen Niu.

It even made the sword qi within their bodies stir restlessly.

But they had already discussed matters with Chen Huaian.

They wouldn't need to take action in today's battle—they would only control the formation without openly displaying their strength. On the surface, they would definitely help Hua Jin seize the Celestial Jade Marrow.

And today, the true main character was still sitting obediently before Chen Huaian in the Cangyun Realm, waiting for the ancestor's instructions like an elementary school student.

...

Burned out.
