Chapter 668: Chapter 37: Tide Surge Erupts, Hong Chuan Falls!
This object has such a miraculous use, its own strength is naturally extraordinary.
According to scripture records,
the ability of this "Illusion Spirit" is very similar to the "Nether Illusion Spirit Butterfly", with strength far surpassing it,
and the strength of the Nether Illusion Spirit Butterfly is something ordinary Great Cultivators find challenging to match, hence the power of this "Illusion Butterfly" is evident.
Looking at the distant "Tier Five Spirit Medicine" and the "Illusion Butterfly"!
Zhou Xun was extremely tempted.
But he still suppressed the impulse in his heart.
As the ancient saying goes, people die for wealth, birds die for food,
Zhou Xun naturally understood this principle, and after thinking it over, he decided to leave.
On the other hand, even if Zhou Xun played all his cards to take in this spirit medicine and Illusion Spirit, he wouldn’t be able to use them shortly,
so, retreating for now was actually the best choice.
What is even more ingenious is that although the "Illusion Spirit" is powerful, it has a strong attachment to its old place, and unless there’s a significant change,
generally speaking, it wouldn’t easily relocate.
Thus, Zhou Xun can wait until his strength grows stronger to return here,
then and there, he can capture the Tier Five Spirit Medicine and the "Illusion Spirit" in one go.
Thinking of this, Zhou Xun cautiously retreated backward, fearing to alarm the "Illusion Spirit."
Soon, Zhou Xun smoothly withdrew, returned to the foot of the mountain, and exhaled deeply.
He tapped his waist and took out the sheepskin scroll,
his right hand formed a sword finger and started writing on the sheepskin scroll, updating all the information on the Tier Five Spirit Medicine and Illusion Spirit.
So in days to come, he can find them again according to the map.
After doing this, Zhou Xun put the sheepskin scroll away.
He glanced around, black clouds pressed the sky very low, and everywhere was a blue-purple hue.
"Calculating the time, twenty-one days have passed since I came in. According to True Monarch Thunder Prison, the outbreak of the Thunder Tide will happen in these few days,"
"And it will still take some time for me to rush back to the exit,"
"Well, since the most crucial purpose has been completed, staying longer has no necessity, rather it enhances the risk, it seems it’s time to leave!"
Thinking of this, Zhou Xun’s mind shifted,
"Boom——"
two blue-purple wings with a span of four to five meters spread out from his back, precisely the Thunderbolt Wings he had refined before.
With a flash of the wings,
Zhou Xun transformed into a stream of light, appearing hundreds of meters away in the next moment, moving at a speed almost comparable to instant teleportation!
Just like this, Zhou Xun raced with full force, heading towards the place he originally entered.
Two days later, Zhou Xun once again arrived at the plain where he parted ways with others that day.
He decided to return via the original route.
Although other routes were recorded in the sheepskin scroll, because there were still companions like True Monarch Thunder Prison,
he did not want to expose the existence of this map.
When he arrived at the Thunder Element Purple Gold Ore at the foot of that mountain, he found it had been significantly expanded,
no doubt due to the handiwork of a fellow companion who returned early.
But this was normal; after all, what one excavates alone belongs solely to oneself and need not be shared.
Thinking about it, Zhou Xun also swallowed a "Purple Gold Thunder Core" himself.
He quickly passed through this underground passage,
when he returned to the original entrance, he found three figures waiting there,
they were none other than True Monarch Thunder Prison, True Monarch Profound Thunder, and True Monarch Profound Time.
Seeing Zhou Xun come out, the three were extremely delighted, and True Monarch Thunder Prison greeted first:
"Brother Zhou is out, it seems you gained quite a bit from this trip!"
"Thanks to Brother Chenglin’s good words, it was fairly perfect!" Zhou Xun replied with a happy smile,
it was evident from the expressions of the other three that their gains were also quite abundant.
"Daoist Profound Thunder, Daoist Profound Time!" Zhou Xun cupped his hands again towards the other two.
"Now we’re just waiting for Daoist Hong Chuan, and all five of us will be here; then this trip will be complete!"
True Monarch Profound Thunder said with a smile.
"I reckon Daoist Hong must have encountered some remarkable treasure and is reluctant to leave!"
Daoist Profound Time said with a smile,
"Once he comes out, the five of us can perhaps hold a small exchange meeting, sharing what we have with each other."
"After all, we are all Thunder Cultivators; perhaps someone has a treasure not immediately useful, but of great use to others!"
"That’s a great idea!" Zhou Xun nodded.
Then, the few of them began to chat casually while waiting for the arrival of True Monarch Hong Chuan,
just like this, another day passed, but by that time the ease on everyone’s faces had disappeared,
in the distance, in the sky, the originally low-pressed dark clouds appeared as if being wildly stirred by an invisible giant hand.
"Boom——"
The dark clouds surged like tumultuous waves, rolling and tumbling, threads of blue-purple Thunder Arcs shuttled between,
every lightning flash seemed as though it would tear open the sky, weighing heavily on one’s heart!
Simultaneously, an extremely powerful suppression descended upon everyone, as if an invisible giant mountain pressed on their hearts, making it hard to breathe.
Zhou Xun and the others unconsciously straightened their postures, a strong sense of unease swelling in their hearts.
"Is this the Thunder Tide? Such great power of heaven and earth, let alone Great Cultivators, even Divinity Transformation Celestial Monarchs amidst it may not survive unscathed!"
Zhou Xun secretly sighed in his heart!
True Monarch Thunder Prison looked grim; at this time, True Monarch Hong Chuan still hadn’t appeared,
and the Thunder Tide was about to explode,
True Monarch Hong Chuan was in peril!
Just like this, after roughly half an hour,
suddenly——
the thunder in the sky began to rage, a massive blue-purple lightning bolt fell like a celestial pillar, illuminating the entire land.
