Chapter 552: The Astonished Dao Ye

An Lin felt like he had fallen in love with the feeling of flexing. Aside from the absorption purpose, the golden Realm Essence Crystals were also ideal for flexing.

After flexing his massive horde of golden Realm Essence Crystals, he felt like his whole body had been rejuvenated, and he stowed the Realm Essence Crystals away with a satisfied smile.

Even though the blinding golden light had disappeared, but everyone could still feel the feeling of dizziness. They didn’t know whether this was because their eyes were in shock, or their hearts were in shock.

Lü Dongbin muttered to himself, “I forgot to count just then. How many were there?”

Qin Sheng massaged his brows as he replied, “It was something like forty.”

“Fourteen is fourteen, forty is forty…” Liu Chuchu’s brain was starting to shortcircuit on her as she desperately tried to recalibrate her cognitive functions.

Why was there such a monstrous disparity between one person to another?

Mi Ya hung her head in shame. She was a little disgruntled at being referred to as poor by An Lin, but now…

She felt like he was completely right! She was just a mere beggar next to Filthy Rich An!

“So now you all know that I’m telling the truth when I say my target is to collect one hundred golden Realm Essence Crystal. If any of you find golden Realm Essence Crystals in the future, you can exchange for other items with me; I’ll even be willing to pay over their designated price,” An Lin announced with a smile.

Lü Dongbin nodded in response. He was initially quite skeptical of An Lin’s words, but he firmly believed them now; An Lin really was going to try and collect a hundred golden Realm Essence Crystals!

Sigh… Why is there such a disparity between Return to Void Stage and Soul Formation Stage cultivators… Huh? Somehow… that doesn’t feel quite right…

He heaved a long sigh before turning to An Lin. “What plans do you have now, Mr. An Lin?”

An Lin didn’t hide his intentions as he told everyone what Mi Ya had told him.

Lü Dongbin nodded upon hearing this. “Seeing as you’re going to a mystic realm to search for Realm Essence Crystal, then I’ll be taking my leave. Liu Chuchu should stay with me for safety purposes.”

Liu Chuchu nodded in agreement. This was the Void Star Section, after all. At her current level, she knew that it would be best to band together with someone strong.

Qin Sheng also bade farewell to everyone. He had to go to another area to search for a lost treasure.

Liu Chuchu, Lü Dongbin, and Qin Sheng all left in quick succession, leaving An Lin and his team, which comprised of Xue Zhantian, Tina, the three Blood Tribe mighty figures, and Mi Ya. This was likely to be the most powerful team in the entire Void Star Section.

“Alright, we can go dig up some treasure now!” Tina exclaimed excitedly.

“Dig up treasure?” Cassidy aimed a perplexed look at Tina.

Tina didn’t elaborate any further. Instead, she flew toward the black tower before slashing out a sword projection at the base of the tower with her Heart Lotus Ice Sword.

A blue sword projection of over a thousand feet in length sliced into the base of the tower.

Boom!

The tower, which had stood for countless years, fell under the attack of Tina’s sword projection.

The tower fell to the ground with a resounding boom, sending dust and debris flying like shrapnel through the air.

No one knew what Tina was up to, but they still followed behind her.

Immediately afterward, they were greeted by the sight of Tina digging for something in the ground. Soon, she dug out a circular hole that was thirty feet deep.

Another blue sword projection slashed down upon the massive hole, which was followed by a resounding boom before boundless golden light burst forth, instantly making the space around everyone to be more viscous.

Everyone looked down before their eyes widened in shock.

At the center of the hole, a black object had been sliced into pieces. Within the black object lay ten golden Realm Essence Crystals clustered in a circle while glowing with a dazzling light. Around the golden Realm Essence Crystals, there were thirty blue Realm Essence Crystals which glowed with the light of the ocean, making it appear as if the golden Realm Essence Crystals were floating on a scintillating blue sea.

“You’re a lifesaver, Little Na!” An Lin’s eyes lit up as he happily stowed away all the Realm Essence Crystals.

Tobias was a little dumbstruck. “The Holy Leader’s luck truly defies the natural order!”

Mi Ya also wore a vacant expression on her face. “So… just digging a hole could reveal so many Realm Essence Crystals? Do I have some sort of misunderstanding toward this world?”

“Phew… we’re halfway there to our target; let’s keep it up!” An Lin offered words of encouragement to his party.

Everyone: “…”

“Oh… right, Mi Ya, I hope the mystic realm you were referring to won’t disappoint me.” An Lin turned toward the mermaid beside him with an expectant gaze.

Mi Ya: “…”

What could Mi Ya do? She could only force a smile onto her face and pray to her lucky stars that the mystic realm wouldn’t let her down.

These Realm Essence Crystals were materials that the two red-robed elderly men had set aside as building blocks for the new world they were about to create. However, no one could have foreseen that they would receive holy redemption from Tina before they had a chance to construct the new world. As a gesture of gratitude, they decided to gift all their Realm Essence Crystals to her.

Thinking about it now, Tina seemed to have taken everything from the two elderly men! Not only the fragment of the realm core and the Realm Essence Crystals, but even the entire city of wandering souls and the two elderly men themselves were also taken by Tina! What a thorough job she did…

After dealing with the matters at Qi Lou City, An Lin and the others continued onward to the mystic realm Mi Ya had mentioned.

Mi Ya led the way at the forefront of the party as they headed toward their destination—the Black Sea!

The purple grassland directly neighbored the Black Sea. As such, they had to go all the way back after traveling all this way to the Realm of Dead Souls…

On the boundless Black Sea, there was a huge island.

There was a vast array of fluorescent plants on the island that was glowing with red, green, blue, and golden light, thus making the island appear as if it were the venue for a spectacular light show in the middle of the ocean.

At the center of the island, there was a white cave, and at the opening of the cave was a black dragon that glowed with a faint metallic hue. The dragon had a pair of crimson eyes, and its body was over a kilometer in length. Its aura was extremely vast and formidable, and the Spiritual Energy of Heaven and Earth surged with its inhalations and exhalations.

None of the ferocious beasts on the island dared to even venture into a five-kilometer range of the dragon as they were afraid of being accidentally blasted to death by a sneeze.

However, there was a black shadow that was surreptitiously surveying the lizard dragon from within a five-kilometer radius.

He had a pair of black wings, bronze skin, and a huge saber tied to his waist.

This black shadow was Dao Ye, who had fled at the sight of An Lin on the purple grassland and had now escaped to the Black Sea.

He discovered this peculiar island on the Black Sea, and his instinct told him that there was definitely a massive treasure lying on this island! Not taking into account other matters, just the fact that there was an extremely powerful black dragon guarding that white cave was a strong indication of how extraordinary the cave was!

He was quite cautious, and he had already observed the black dragon in secret for a few days, thereby getting a rough idea of the black dragon’s power. As such, he felt like he needed to call for some reinforcements now…

He was really pissed off. This was the treasure island that he had discovered, but he was forced to share the treasure with others.

He recalled that his teammates were on this tectonic plate, so he should be able to find them through the use of his presence-detection talisman.

Right at this moment, a faint energy fluctuation appeared in the air nearby, and immediately after, a spatial rift opened up.

Dao Ye’s body tensed up as he immediately curbed his aura.

How could this be… There were other Return to Void Stage mighty figures who knew of this place?!

An exquisitely beautiful mermaid flew out from the spatial rift. Right behind her were three black-robed individuals who turned to face the rift as they bowed their bodies slightly, as if they were welcoming someone extremely important.

Dao Ye drew a sharp intake of breath upon seeing this.

Even though those four were curbing their auras as well, Dao Ye could see that they were Return to Void Stage mighty figures.

They were simply too familiar to him! The mermaid was the Spirit Fish Clan mighty figure, Mi Ya, with a cultivation base of Return to Void Intermediate Stage. Alongside her were the Blood Tribe Return to Void Stage mighty figures, Merlin and Cassidy, as well as their team leader, Tobias, who was at the pinnacle of the Return to Void Intermediate Stage! Since when did the West Sea sea monsters forge an alliance with the Blood Tribe?

And what kind of important figure could demand such respect from all four of them?

A young man in a white robe walked out from the spatial rift with a smile on his face. There was also a white furball in his arms as well as a beautiful fairy who was sitting on his shoulder.

Dao Ye’s eyes widened in astonishment upon catching sight of the white-robed man.

His lips trembled as he spat out a name in a soft voice, “An… An Lin?”
