Chapter 161 Awakening The Disaster
While Long Ming chose to stay behind, he asked Mu Qinglian and Ming Yuexin to go to the center of the underground realm.
After all, he was still thinking whether he should accept the mission of saving Jiang Wanxue or not. And the meantime, he used his heavenly comprehension to comprehend a part of the ancient runic word 'Seal'.
However, Seeing Jiang Wanxue finally pushed into a corner, Long Ming finally accepted the mission at the last moment and rescued her.
Jiang Wanxue was still pretty cunning. Even when she couldn't use her True Qi, she used an Earth grade Wind Shutteling Talisman to escape. But after she left, Long Ming summoned his Illusiory Lightning Bow and shot the assassin who was fighting against the old guard.
Long Ming realized that he could now tap on to more than 60% power of the Illusiory Lightning Bow, which was a Royal grade weapon. The consumption of True qi also increased, but the power didn't disappoint Long Ming at all.
' Even if I just used my bow physically with my Intent of Arrow, I can easily assassinate a Low stage Harmonization Realm cultivator who is wearing armor.' Long Ming pondered.
He doubted, without any special means, even a Peak stage Harmonization Realm cultivator could only draw out around 40% power of a Royal Grade treasure.
However, Long Ming can easily draw out 60% of power even in the True Core Formation Realm.
But then, he had to admit that his cultivation was simply abnormal. Tru Core Formation Realm qi cultivation, An Initial Completion Spatial Light Physique and a Minor Completion Great Mystic Mountain Physique then spiritual qi powerful as a Primordial Spirit Unification Realm.
Then, he also has things like Desolate Immortal Aura, Heavenly Revelation Eyes, and heavenly comprehension heart.
When the entire cave rumbled, Long Ming understood that the *selected people* might have already reached the center. Looking at Jiang Wanxue, he asked, " How long it will take to detoxify your poison?"
" At least an incense stick of time." Jiang Wanxue replied honestly. Long Ming directly took out a 50,000 Year old Water Curing Herb and stuffed it into Jiang Wanxue's hand.
" Take this. I think it can easily shorten the duration of your detoxification."
" Are you really giving me a 50,000 year old herb casually?" Jiang Wanxue was surprised.
" I will still take 1 Million high grade spirit stones from you, don't worry." Long Ming added. Jiang Wanxue was speechless, yet she hurried and ate the herb without any time. After all, the longer she remained vulnerable, the more the chances of her death would increase.
" Alright, Miss Jiang, Hold me tight."
" Huh?"
Jiang Wanxue didn't expect Long Ming to lift her up like that. Without saying anything, his invisible Raging Storm Wings crackled with lightning and wind as Long Ming turned into a blur, flying towards the center.
There were still many treants blocking the path. However, Long Ming used his mountain like weight to crush them before rushing forward.
Jiang Wanxue was completely focused on detoxifying herself and regaining her strength. However, she couldn't help but feel the presence of Long Ming.
It was the first time a man acted so boldly before her, even taking her liberties. Not to mention, she even agreed to be his bed warming maid.
' This rascal… Just let me come out of this secret realm. I will teach you a lesson.' She snorted inwardly.
' This girl is no mean an easy girl. Hehe, could it be she is plotting for revenge?' Long Ming grinned viciously. ' If she dares to do anything funny, I won't hold back to draw the first blood.'
It was natural that both Jiang Wanxue and Long Ming were thinking about drawing different bloods.
' Ah, Now I think, I should have the relationship panel of Max Level Affection System, no?'
Long Ming thought inwardly as a pink colored screen appeared before him. He quickly searched and found something interesting.
Qin Chen: 10 (Malicious Intent)
Qin Zhong: 40 ( Suspicious)
Jiang Wanxue: 40-60( Suspicious/Favorable)
" Well?"
Long Ming was speechless when he saw Jiang Wanxue's mood.
' No wonder one would rather tame a millennium demonic beast than understand the heart of a woman.'
" Strange, You are moving far too smoothly. As if… You know the underground passageway too well." Jiang Wanxue glanced at Long Ming.
" Do I? I wonder."
Long Ming grinned, making Jiang Wanxue even more doubtful.
Along with them, she could see other cultivators were also rushing towards the center.
*BOOOM BOOM*
Long Ming paused his movements when he saw a towering sword intent crash on the ground, killing a dozen treants instantly.
" Bring it on! You wooden dummies!"
Long Ming saw Ling Yuan holding a radiant sword which was shining with a sharp sword intent. Adobe him, a dark figure materialized, giving out immense fighting spirit.
' He almost reached the threshold of Minor Tribulation of Sky Fighting Royal Body. With his Sword Intent, he can put up a fight against Mid stage Harmonization Realm.' Long Ming pondered.
Royal grade body is still a grade lower than Imperial grade physique.
If Long Ming reaches the Primordial Spirit Unification Realm, he will be able to jump an entire realm and even crush a Peak stage Harmonization Realm cultivator.
Jiang Wanxue and Long Ming saw giant demonic trees lurking in the center of the underground place, attacking cultivators without any scruples.
Ling Yuan's sword intent along with his physique destroyed everything in his path. Meanwhile, Xu Jian who was the son of the sect leader of Six Sword Pavilion, he was wielding a Royal grade sword with high proficiency.
" Damn it! Qin Chen and Blissful Heaven Temple's group already saw a strange light in the center. There must be a mystical treasure hiding!"
" Hurry up and charge!"
Ling Yuan raised his sword and it turned into a gigantic sword pillar. " Great Earth Destructive Sword!"
The sword pillar rumbled with sword intent as its power was amplified with Ling Yuan's Sky Battling Royal Physique. The pillar descended, slashing every demonic tree into pieces.
" Brother Ling, Do you need a helping hand?"
Long Ming shouted as he placed Jiang Wanxue on the ground. Ling Yuan turned around and looked at Long Ming.
" Ah, Brother Long, You came at the right time." Ling Yuan laughed. " These Giant Tree Demons are blocking the final passage. Besides, each of them has a tree core. We should clean up here fast, else those Imperial Clowns will take all the treasures."
Long Ming laughed out loud as he took out his Noble grade sword. After using it for a while, he grew quite fond of it. Besides, now, he can unleash the full power of a Noble grade sword.
" Don't be hasty, Brother Ling." Long Ming smiled mysteriously. " Who knows, There might be a greater peril lurking rather than a treasure?"
" Huh? What do you mean?" Ling Yuan's eyes narrowed when he heard that. He knew Long Ming wasn't the type who jokes casually.
" Radiant Flame Shower!"
Ling Yuan was shocked when he felt Long Ming's erupting sword intent. Different from Ling Yuan's, Long Ming's sword intent was simply pure and dominating.
The Noble grade sword buzzed with a radiance as several dazzling swords appeared around Long Ming. Swirling around him, they showered on the Giant Tree Demons like sharp meteors.
*BOOM BOOM BOOM*
Everyone from Six Sword Pavilion paused when they saw the scene. The sword technique was enough to shake their heart.
' What a power! He is butchering down several Half Step Harmonization Realm tree demons so easily!"
" That Noble grade sword is completely under his control!"
" Oh my!"
Ling Yuan's eyes burned with a strange passion when he looked at Long Ming's technique. His battle intent exploded as he jumped into the army of tree demons, killing them with his sword.
Jiang Wanxue was surprised when she finally saw Long Ming in action. Besides, he wasn't using his physique at all.
' Long Ming of Four Seasons Valley, How many secrets are you hiding?'

" Haah! HAHAHAHA!"
Qin Chen and his subordinate laughed as they finally reached a large clearing. In front of them, a giant gret color tree was standing, dazzling with multicolored rays.
" Damn it, We reached first!"
" Look at that! Is that a pearl? That's emitting such great aura!"
" Look! There is even a sword. It already refined with Sword Dao!"
" This tree must be a heavenly treasure itself."
Suddenly, they noticed other groups also arrived at the crucial moment.
" Heh, Fourth Brother, You are really fast, huh?" Qin Zhong snorted when he saw Qin Chen.
" Well, I can only say that you are slow and dumb. Nothing unusual." Qin Chen snorted.
Soon, Jia Qing of Green Cloud Mountain and Shu Yanlin of Zhongye Sect also arrived.
" Fellow Daoists, We reached this place first." Qin Chen spoke coldly. " I hope everyone can back down."
" Fourth Prince, I don't think Imperial Family owns this place?" Shu Yanlin snorted.
" Heh, Why do you care?" Qin Zhong snorted as he already pulled out his saber.
" The one with a bigger fist shall win, right?"
Shun Yanlin laughed loudly. " How true, Third Prince Qin Zhong. Then don't mind my impoliteness."
Without any delay, Shu Yanlin tore a talisman as he vanished from his position.
" Bastard! Stop!"
The old protectors were looking for hidden dangers. But they felt strange as there was none. How can a place filled with treasure would appear themselve without any traps.
Shu Yanlin appeared right before the sword stabbed inside the tree. However, before he could grab it, he got kicked by Qin Chen.
Shu Yanlin drew out his sword as he retaliated. Soon, Qin Chen and Shu Yanling engaged in a fierce battle.
However, at that moment, Three Giant Tree Demons appeared before them. Each of them was powerful as a Mid stage Harmonization Realm cultivator.
" How about this? Let's kill them." Qin Zhong finally spoke. " As for treasure, That would depend on one's ability."
" Very well."
Arranging their groups, they attacked the tree demons. Soon, more and more cultivators gathered there, looking at the treasured tree with greedy eyes,
However, none of them saw the subtle red veins all over the tree pulsing subtly.
Not only the tree of treasures, the other cultivator noticed that there were plenty of spirit stones, natural ores, and energy jades scattered around. Soon, a bloody fight erupted over these treasures.
Since they can't eat the chicken, they can at least get some drops of soup.
However, at that moment, Jia Qing suddenly made a move. Sneaking around, he took the divine pearl hovering above the grey tree.
But then, the pearl cracked as its radiance dimmed.
" Huh?"
Suddenly, everyone felt a cold chill in their heart.
