Inside the Chaos Divine Palace.
Xu Nian watched the Sky Splitting Divine Dawn scurry about, a slight smile curling at his lips.
With a casual gesture, he effortlessly controlled the Sky Splitting Divine Dawn.
Xu Nianâs true body approached the divine dawn, easily sensing the pulse of the Chaos Green Lotus within him.
The Chaos Green Lotus seemed eager to devour the Sky Splitting Divine Dawn.
Naturally, Xu Nian wouldnât let the Chaos Green Lotus do so. Devouring the divine dawn now wouldnât greatly benefit the lotus, perhaps only marginally strengthening it.
The Chaos Green Lotus could grow by absorbing the Heaven and Earth Divine Qi, making it unnecessary to consume the divine dawn.
He intended to nurture the Sky Splitting Divine Dawn, allowing it to grow and see if it could eventually cultivate true Chaos Mother Qi.
True Chaos Mother Qi was something produced at the dawn of chaos, possessing immense power unattainable even by a Divine Emperor.
Should he manage to control this power, his own strength would reach an astonishing level.
Of course, if his own Chaos Green Lotus Universe developed, it could also create such Chaos Mother Qi in time.
This, however, would require a long process.
"Stay in my Chaos Divine Palace for now. Once I find a suitable wind attribute body, Iâll devour you," Xu Nian mused to himself.
Through the Chaos Divine Palace, the Sky Splitting Divine Dawn could continue to absorb Heavenly Dao Power.
With the altered flow of time, it would also save him a considerable amount of time.
Having done all this, Xu Nianâs mind returned to his avatar.
With the divine dawn gone, the Wind Blades in the Divine Wind Mountain Stream vanished as well.
This event naturally caught the attention of many.
"What did you do? Why did the Wind Blades disappear?" The crocodile-headed, human-bodied divine asked Xu Nian suspiciously.
Lu Qingyue and the elder from Wuwan Valley also turned their attention to Xu Nian.
Even Song Ren and Fang Yu looked curious.
"I didnât do anything, I just used my Divine Sense to investigate the rift," Xu Nian replied.
"Is that really all?" the mid-stage Divine-level expert from Wuwan Valley skeptically asked.
The others were also clearly unconvinced.
"I truly did nothing. Perhaps the space rift healed itself?" Xu Nian insisted.
Those around him remained somewhat skeptical.
"Itâs possible the space rift healed. Didnât we previously investigate and conclude it was a space rift?" Lu Qingyue remarked, glancing at Xu Nian.
"Itâs indeed possible, but no one has seen the space rift with their own eyes. What if there was a treasure inside, and he just happened to take it?" the mid-level God expert from Wuwan Valley said.
At these words, everyone promptly looked warily at Xu Nian.
Xu Nianâs brow furrowed.
"Hmph, Chen Qing, are you trying to use someone else to do your dirty work? What treasure could there possibly be inside? Even if there were treasures inside and Xu Nian got them, they belong to our Black Mountain Territory. Do you intend to rob him?" Song Ren immediately stepped forward.
"Exactly, with Lord Feng Ye here, youâre taking this opportunity to massacre our Black Mountain Territoryâs geniuses. Are you disregarding Lord Feng Ye?" Fang Yu added.
"If he has treasures, he can hand over his storage ring to prove it. As for killing and robbing? Treasures naturally belong to the strong; this place is on our Wuwan Valleyâs border. If there are treasures, we have every right to fight for them," said the middle-aged man named Chen Qing.
Upon hearing this, Song Ren and Fang Yu clenched their fists in anger.
The crocodile-headed creature and Lu Qingyue watched with a spectatorâs attitude.
Xu Nianâs eyes sharpened as he looked at the man named Chen Qing.
It was clear this guy wanted to create trouble for their Black Mountain Territory.
The Sky Splitting Divine Dawn was something Xu Nian obtained with effort; how could he easily hand it over?
"Iâll say it again, I didnât obtain anything. If you donât believe me, feel free to make your move. But I wonât hold back then," Xu Nian said sharply.
"Are you threatening me?" Chen Qing sneered.
Did this late-stage Divine-level really intend to kill him?
"You could interpret it that way," Xu Nian said sharply.
Tensions mounted, ready to boil over.
The crocodile-headed creature sneered disdainfully; just another reckless youth, it thought?
Even the elder showed a hint of contempt in his eyes.
The young Female Celestial also thought Xu Nian was courting death.
Only Lu Qingyue paused in thought, considering that if a fight broke out, this late-stage Divine-level might not necessarily lose.
Though this idea seemed absurd, intuition told her this young man was not simple.
"Enough, this matter is settled; no further discussion,"
At this moment, Feng Ye Master suddenly spoke.
Having now recovered from his injuries.
With Feng Ye Masterâs intervention, the man named Chen Qing dared not say more.
Xu Nian also tempered his killing intent.
In reality, heâd already decided that if Chen Qing made a move, he would kill him outright, then focus on the elder from Wuwan Valley.
Since enmity was established, there could be no holding back.
Hearing Feng Ye Masterâs words, Song Ren and Fang Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, they were at a significant disadvantage.
"Alright, here is the promised Mid-grade Heavenly God Pill for you to accept." The elder said.
He then took up the body and residual soul of the Sky Splitting Divine Butterfly, waved his hand, and nine pills appeared in the air.
Everyone received a red Pill, emanating a powerful divine energy wave.
"This is the Fierce God Pill?" Everyone, upon seeing the pills, looked delighted.
"The Fierce God Pill! With this pill, I can surely break through to the Late Stage of God." Chen Qing, too, was excited.
The elder, Lu Qingyue, and others also had brightened eyes.
Xu Nian felt a bit surprised; he didnât expect the elder to give them a Fierce God Pill.
This pill was considered decent among Mid-grade Divine Pills.
"As promised, naturally, you wonât be shortchanged. Now that youâve received the pill, be on your way," Feng Ye Master said.
"Thank you, Lord Feng Ye, we from Wuwan Valley take our leave." The elder from Wuwan Valley spoke.
He bowed to Feng Ye Master in thanks.
Chen Qing did likewise, then left with the elder.
However, as he left, Chen Qing looked back at Xu Nian, as if to say, "Boy, wait for it, next time will be your end."
With Wuwan Valleyâs departure, the Ice Snow Mountain group also took their leave.
Seeing this, Xu Nian quickly bid farewell.
He hadnât yet discussed the Red Moon Snow Gold with Lu Qingyue.
So he promptly chased after them.
Song Ren and Fang Yu exchanged looks, felt a bit uneasy, and decided to follow as well.
"Lu Divine, wait a moment," Xu Nian quickly sent a mental message.
Lu Qingyue froze, stopping in her tracks, and looked at Xu Nian with surprise.
"Boy, are you looking for trouble?"
The crocodile-headed creature and another Early Level of God youth also stopped, with the creature immediately threatening coldly.
At this, Song Ren and Fang Yu hurried over to protect Xu Nian.
Xu Nian, undaunted, looked at Lu Qingyue and said, "Lu Divine, I mean no harm, could we speak privately?"
Lu Qingyue froze, puzzled as to why Xu Nian was suddenly seeking her out.
