Chapter 443: Thearch Mystic Realm, Sacred Battle Abode!
Shortly after Shen Tian had defeated Great Thearch Evil Fire, the Great Sage of the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty arrived in East Sea City.
That Great Sage completely destroyed the Blood Sacrifice Formation and stayed there to guard the city.
Speaking of which, that Great Sage was someone Shen Tian was also familiar with.
It was the one that had brought Shen Tian to Middle Ground.
That Great Sage was the War King!
He was a Nine Tribulation Great Sage and had unparalleled strength!
With him here, even if an Evil Spirit Sect’s Great Sage came back, there would be no need to fear!
“Kid, you’re indeed extraordinary. Looks like you’ve learned quite a bit in the academy!”
The War King smiled as he looked at Shen Tian.
The War King could also be counted as Shen Tian’s old acquaintance, and he also knew Shen Tian quite well.
Back in the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, Shen Tian had sent a Six Tribulation True Sage flying!
Meanwhile, he even defeated a Great Sage!
The War King was astounded when he heard such a feat.
One had to know that the difference between a True Sage and Great Sage was so great it was poles apart.
Shen Tian’s improvement could be said to be extremely great as he could actually drive back a Great Sage.
Shen Tian cupped his hands together. “Senior War King, you’re flattering me! It’s my responsibility to fight against the Evil Spirit Sect!”
“Very well, I shall report this matter to His Highness Huang Shi after I return.”
The War King heartily laughed as he became even more satisfied with Shen Tian.
He’s neither conceited nor rash, such great disposition!
“Thank you, Senior War King!”
Shen Tian knew what the War King meant. The War King would help Shen Tian obtain some rewards since he had basically saved East Sea City.
Since it was for free, of course Shen Tian would not refuse.
“Senior War King, we still have some matters to settle, so we’ll take our leave first.”
Shen Tian and Qi Zhan left as they still had to search for the mystic realm!
In East Sea...
Two figures were advancing rapidly.
They were as fast as lightning, and they left behind a trail of a resplendent divine rainbow.
They traveled for tens of thousands of miles before stopping.
Those two people were Qi Zhan and Shen Tian.
Looking at the vast and boundless sea, Qi Zhan was in a daze. “Boss, there’s really a mystic realm here?”
Although he knew that Shen Tian had paramount providence and would definitely be able to find the mystic realm, Qi Zhan still could not help but doubt as he scanned the area.
Not even land could be seen, so where would there be a mystic realm?
Shen Tian said calmly, “Wait for me here for a moment.”
After saying that, he directly stepped into a void pocket and left only a monkey unsure of what to do on the spot.
...
Shen Tian appeared gradually in the void.
Another figure appeared in front of him.
“You’re here?”
“I’m here!”
“It’s all thanks to you in East Sea City!”
“You’re flattering me. It’s because our main body has foresight.”
“I’ve already discovered the location of the mystic realm!”
“Alright, we’ll head over there now.”
...
Shen Tian left the void and flew toward Qi Zhan.
“Boss, what did you do?” Qi Zhan asked out of curiosity as he saw that Shen Tian returned.
He looked toward Shen Tian with golden light shining in his eyes.
Qi Zhan could sense that Shen Tian seemed to have changed. However, he did not see anything strange even if he activated his Penetrating Insight.
Shen Tian shook his head, smiled, and said, “Nothing much, I’ve found the mystic realm. It’s at the bottom of the sea.”
Qi Zhan was extremely excited as he spoke. “Then let’s hurry and head there!”
Splash!
Qi Zhan dived into the sea and started swimming toward the bottom!
Shen Tian also followed behind him. A human and a monkey started heading deeper into the depths of the sea.
They were extremely fast, reaching 660,000 miles deep into the sea.
The water pressure here was as heavy as a mountain.
The water pressure could easily crush a Heavenly Venerable, and even a Sage would not be able to last for too long.
However, their physical bodies were extremely powerful. Thus, they paid no attention to the water pressure and continued swimming smoothly!
...
Shortly after, they reached the bottom of the sea.
It was spacious and boundless without anything.
Qi Zhan asked in surprise, “Boss, where is the mystic realm?”
He scanned the surroundings and did not even see anything that resembled a mystic realm.
Shen Tian smiled and said, “Don’t be fooled by its appearance. There’s more than what meets the eye. You’ll know once you activate your Penetrating Insight!”
Qi Zhan hurriedly activated his Penetrating Insight once he heard that.
His pupils became extremely dazzling as blazing firelight, and golden light spiraled in them, emitting an impressive aura.
The surrounding scenery instantly changed once he used his Penetrating Insight to scan the surroundings.
A Primordial Mountain instantly appeared on the originally empty ocean floor.
That towering mountain stood tall and erect, emitting an immense aura!
It was in the bottom of the sea, but the seawater was pushed back, and not even one drop of water could enter.
A few huge bright golden words were carved on the mountain!
The words were written vigorously and emitted a majestic aura.
Those three words were—Sacred Battle Abode!
Qi Zhan was completely astounded and exclaimed, “OMG, there’s really more than what meets the eye!? This is the Sacred Battle Thearch’s Sacred Battle Abode?”
The Sacred Battle Thearch had lived in the Primordial Era and had been one of the top Thearch 180,000 years ago!
He was the second Sacred Battle Ape in the world to obtain his Dao from battling and successfully ascended from a Thearch!
One had to know that the Sacred Battle Thearch possessed outstanding battle prowess.
Even amongst other Thearchs, he had definitely been the most lawless and arrogant Thearch that loved acting cool!
Qi Zhan did not expect that Shen Tian could actually find this Sacred Battle Abode!
One had to know that Qi Zhan also had the Sacred Battle Ape bloodline!
The Sacred Battle Thearch’s heritage was the most compatible for him to cultivate!
If he could obtain the Sacred Battle Thearch’s heritage, his strength would definitely increase greatly!
...
Qi Zhan was delighted and said with gratitude, “Boss, I’m really fortunate to be able to follow you!”
If not for Shen Tian, he would not be able to find this Sacred Battle Abode no matter what!
Shen Tian shook his head with a smile. This was originally Qi Zhan’s fortuitous opportunity.
At that moment, the space suddenly distorted.
Energy surged out of the mouth of the mountain’s cave, and a bright light was emitted and swirled around the whole place.
The light sparkled and became twisted with an immense aura, turning into a black whirlpool that stopped the two of them from entering!
“There’s also a formation?”
Qi Zhan frowned. It looked like it was not that simple to enter the Sacred Battle Abode!
Not only did one need an art to see through the illusion, but they also must have a certain amount of strength to be able to enter!
It was no wonder that news of the Sacred Battle Abode had never appeared in the outside world.
The conditions for entering were simply too harsh, and no ordinary people could satisfy them!
“Boss, let me try!” Qi Zhan volunteered. He was determined to obtain his old ancestor’s heritage!
Shen Tian nodded. Although this formation was powerful, it could not stop Qi Zhan.
That black whirlpool was completely destroyed under Qi Zhan’s full strength.
Afterward, a powerful spatial energy ripple burst out and enveloped them instantly.
The two of them were blinded and disappeared.
When they regained their line of sight, they had already appeared in another space. This place was very peculiar. Spirit Qi was abundant, and heavenly aura filled the place, making the place seem hazy and dreamy.
Magnificent tall mountains were in the distance, towering into the clouds.
The dozens of mountains seemed endless as they surrounded each other.
It was a perfect place to nurture talented people!
Numerous trees were as thick as a bucket on the mountain, making the scenery seem lush and green.
There were also rivers with running water, singing birds, and the fragrance of flowers. It was just like an otherworldly paradise.
“The Spirit Qi here is so dense!? It’s even denser than the Mountain of Flowers and Fruits in my clan!”
Qi Zhan took a deep breath and sensed the surge of Spirit Qi rush into his body, making his whole body relaxed!
“Also, the structure looks extremely similar to the Mountain of Flowers and Fruits too!”
Qi Zhan knew that they had already entered the Sacred Battle Abode.
The Golden Eyed Fire Ape was the descendent of the Sacred Battle Thearch, so their race had imitated the Thearch’s final resting place.
The Sacred Battle Abode was extremely similar to the Mountain of Flowers and Fruits. Or it could be said that this is the real Mountain of Flowers and Fruits!
Qi Zhan was overjoyed. Being here felt like he had returned home.
...
The two of them continued moving forward. They arrived in an orchard after traveling through towering mountains.
Spirit Trees were planted in rows, and the greenery was lush, emitting powerful Spirit Qi.
There were also all kinds of Spirit Fruits of various colors on the Spirit Trees. They looked fresh and tender, emitting a rich fragrance.
“This place is just too awesome!”
Qi Zhan could not take his eyes off those Spirit Fruits at all and could not help but gulp down his saliva.
It was just that those fruits were too tempting to a monkey.
However, Qi Zhan was not impatient. He looked around first.
He discovered that there was a stone tablet in front of those Fruit Trees, recording the type and year of those Spirit Trees.
Those fruits that had just ripened were all superior-grade Spirit herbs!
Some fruits that had grown for quite some time could even reach the level of a Sage herb.
It could be said that there were treasures everywhere in this place!
After reading through those tablets, Qi Zhan was on the brink of tears. “I’ve never seen so many high-grade fruits in my life!
“Although there are some in my clan, they are all under those old fossils’ control, and I can’t eat them at all!
“Today, I have to eat to my heart’s content!”
Those fruits had completely aroused Qi Zhan’s appetite, and he could not help but want to have his fill!
However, Qi Zhan was quickly stunned as he looked toward the back row of the orchard.
There were no Spirit Trees with different shapes there!
Only a row of banana trees!
Those banana trees were split into three rows.
The first row of banana trees was filled with bright yellow bananas that hung on the trees. Each banana emitted a rich fragrance and immense Spirit Qi. They were all inferior-grade Sage herbs.
At the same time, there was also a tablet in front of those banana trees. Those tablets recorded the information of the bananas.
Name: Mixed Sacred Golden Banana
Year: Ripe Every 3,000 Years
Grade: Inferior-Grade Sage Herb
Qi Zhan was completely dumbstruck.
All those golden bananas were Sage herbs!?
He did not even dare to dream such a thing.
But that was not all!
There were three rows of bananas, and the Spirit Qi the back two rows emitted was even more powerful!
There were also tablets in front of those two rows.
Name: Mixed Sacred Golden Banana
Year: Ripe Every 6,000 Years
Grade: Middle-Grade Sage Herb
Name: Mixed Sacred Golden Banana
Year: Ripe Every 9,000 Years
Grade: Superior-Grade Sage Herb
...
“I must be dreaming!”
Qi Zhan’s eyes were full of astonishment. He did not dare to believe it at all.
The Mixed Sacred Golden Banana contained a large amount of Spirit Qi and vitality.
It could be said that countless cultivators would fight for just a single banana and cause bloodshed!
If they were used to create pills, Sage pills could even be created in bulk.
Also, the most important point was that it was not only a Sage herb but also an extremely delicious fruit!
To a monkey, the temptation of the Mixed Sacred Golden Banana was absolutely irresistible!
If a few ripened 3,000-year-old Mixed Sacred Golden Bananas were to be brought to the Golden Eyed Fire Ape race, even a True Sage would become reverent and respectful.
If they were willing to take the 9,000-year-old Mixed Sacred Golden Bananas, then even the Mighty Sage of the Golden Eyed Fire Ape race would be willing to become brothers with one.
After the Sacred Battle Thearch had brought the parent tree to seclusion and disappeared, the Sacred Golden Banana Trees in the Sacred Battle Ape race had withered.
Powerful cultivators of the Golden Eyed Fire Ape race had been coveting such extremely delicious fruits for hundreds of thousands of years. If they could really taste the bananas that their ancestors had been obsessed over, then even death was worth it!
...
Not only did Qi Zhan see a large number of Sacred Golden Bananas, but all of the bananas were also ripened.
Just the 9,000-year-old Sacred Golden Bananas, which were superior-grade Sage herbs alone, there were hundreds of them.
Such a large number of bananas made Qi Zhan so overjoyed that he was over the moon!
However, shortly after, Qi Zhan discovered that there were two additional lines carved on the tablet in front of the 9,000-year-old banana trees.
“I’ve tried finding the Immortal Peach Herb for half my life, but it’s a pity that I’m not fated to see it in my lifetime.
“I’ve only obtained the Immortal Banana Herb, which is not what I like. So what if I have countless Sacred Golden Bananas?”
Qi Zhan was confused and scratched his head as he said, “Boss, what does this mean?”
The Sacred Battle Thearch had left those two lines, and he seemed extremely regretful and disappointed!
Shen Tian’s mouth twitched.
“It’s very obvious. He wants to eat peaches!”
“Peaches, I also like them! However, there are no peaches here. There are only bananas!”
Qi Zhan’s eyes lit up when he mentioned food.
Shen Tian felt resigned.
Just what does this macaque not like to eat?
His eyes are fixated on the fruits, and his saliva is about to drool onto the ground. Why do I feel like he’s going to eat all the fruits here?
How could a monkey fend off the temptation of bananas?
Indeed, Qi Zhan finally could not hold it in anymore.
He shouted, “I can’t, I can’t resist anymore! Bananas, here I come!”
After finishing, Qi Zhan charged toward the orchard.
He jumped up, and his furry hands reached for the banana tree.
Boom!
Divine energy surged!
A golden light curtain appeared and covered the whole orchard before Qi Zhan could reach the bananas.
Meanwhile, his hand was blocked by the light curtain, and he was knocked back, falling to the ground!
“F*ck, there’s also a protective formation here?
“See how I destroy this array formation!”
Seeing that he was unable to eat the Spirit Fruits, Qi Zhan was frustrated.
He took out his golden cudgel, determined to break through the formation!
“Supreme Cudgel Sweep!”
Qi Zhan swung his cudgel while his aura surged as ferocious power burst out.
The huge cudgel smashed onto the formation heavily and formed endless ripples on the light curtain as aura surrounded him.
Divine light overflowed. It was like a stone being thrown into a still water surface.
Surprisingly, Qi Zhan’s attack had no effect. Instead, he was sent flying once again, smashing a deep hole in the ground!
“I don’t believe that I can’t handle this formation!”
Qi Zhan gnashed his teeth, and his golden fur stood up as his aura surged out like torrential waves.
He attacked once again with immense strength, smashing his cudgel toward the formation with full strength!
“Supreme Cudgel Sweep!”
“Total Annihilation!”
“Cudgel Stabilization!’
...
Qi Zhan instantly used his set of cudgel arts, which was so powerful that even a True Sage would be easily killed.
He had not been this feisty even when facing a Seven Tribulation Great Sage!
The feeling of only being able to look from afar made him impatient as he itched to eat it!
Bang!
The deafening sound shook the skies!
Each time his long cudgel landed, the space would be crushed into pieces from the fearsome strength.
However, he still could not damage the formation. Instead, he was knocked extremely far away by the rebound effect!
Qi Zhan hit the ground head first and finally gave up.
“Why did the Sacred Battle Thearch set such a powerful formation in the orchard? He’s too stingy, not even allowing me to eat one fruit!”
Qi Zhan was enraged, but he could only stare at the bananas from outside the light curtain.
His eyes gradually lit up as if he had thought of something.
Qi Zhan begged. “Boss, could you help me open this formation?”
He had no choice. The temptation of the bananas was too irresistible to him.
Seeing that Qi Zhan’s face was full of anticipation, Shen Tian was caught between laughter and tears.
“Alright, I’ll try. But I can’t guarantee that I can definitely open it!”
The Sacred Battle Thearch had set up this formation, so even Shen Tian did not have the confidence to open it.
“Okay, you can do it, Boss!”
Qi Zhan nodded. There was still hope since the strength that Shen Tian had showcased was so extraordinary that he could even suppress a Great Sage.
Although Qi Zhan could not open the formation, he could sense that the formation was not strong and had at most the battle strength of a Great Sage!
Shen Tian had beaten up a Seven Tribulation Great Sage before with his 10 clones, meaning his strength was not weaker than a Mighty Sage.
He would definitely be able to do it if he struck a few more times!
Shen Tian did not waste time speaking. He directly took out his Sky-Shaking Hammer to have a try.
He swung his Sky-Shaking Hammer and stepped forward with all his strength!
Bang, bang, bang!
Shen Tian hammered thrice and made the formation’s divine light ripple and laws linger. He was indeed much more powerful than when battling Qi Zhan.
Even so, there were no signs of the formation cracking.
Shen Tian frowned when he saw such a scene.
Looks like this formation is quite strong!
Just nice. I can use it to try my skills.
Shen Tian did not hold back anymore. He unleashed his full strength and activated Heavenly Wilderness 36 Hammers as he charged toward the array formation.
Blazing Sun Hammer!
Moon-Lifting Hammer!
Star-Smashing Hammer!
...
Shen Tian’s aura erupted, and he attacked using a full set of hammer arts with imposing momentum!
At that instant, a loud sound that could even make the deaf hear was stirred up by the space!
Shen Tian was like an invincible God of War as he repeatedly hammered without hesitation and divine light circulated around him, outlining his brilliant and splendid look!
Bang!
As the last sound faded, all the 36 hammer techniques had been unleashed.
Shen Tian put away his Sky-Shaking Hammer and heaved a sigh of relief as he spoke. “Finished!”
The array formation was not destroyed, but the light became slightly dimmer.
Qi Zhan became dejected. “That old thing is too stingy. He even set up a formation in his own orchard. He really didn’t give us any hope at all? I’m his blood-related great-great-great-great-great grandson!”
He would not be able to eat the bananas if the formation was not destroyed, so he would naturally be depressed.
However, at that moment, the sound of a crack suddenly echoed!
He saw that there was a small crack in the light curtain.
“Mmm? He’s going to succeed?”
Qi Zhan instantly widened his eyes and stared at that crack. He saw that the crack kept on enlarging and even spread through the whole protective light curtain!
Boom!
A loud explosion resounded!
The formation was completely destroyed!
Qi Zhan’s jaw dropped from astonishment!
“I-it really opened? Boss is simply too powerful! It feels like he is even more powerful than before!”
Qi Zhan was astounded. He realized that Shen Tian was even stronger than when he was battling that Evil Fire Great Sage in East Sea City!
Is it possible that Boss hid his strength?
Qi Zhan was dumbstruck, but then he discarded such a thought. That was because it meant he could enter to eat the bananas once the orchard’s formation was opened!
“Hehe, here I come!”
Qi Zhan was so happy that he was on cloud nine and skipped about as he entered the orchard.
Shortly after, Qi Zhan started to feast in the orchard and kept on stuffing fruits into his mouth!
Shen Tian also started collecting in the orchard.
Although those Sage herbs were not that useful to him, they were in large quantities. Thus, he could use them to quench his thirst and give them to other prodigies. Or he could also use them to create pills as they were quite good materials.
More importantly, even the heavens would forbid him from not collecting treasures when he could!
...
Therefore, Shen Tian did not stand on ceremony and started to gather the Spirit Fruits with Qi Zhan.
Meanwhile, Qi Zhan was eating while he collected the fruits. As for the seed of the fruit or banana skins, they were thrown all over.
The orchard, which was originally filled with Spirit Fruits, was quickly emptied.
Meanwhile, Qi Zhan even burped!
Awesome, such a feeling is just too awesome!
I haven’t eaten so many fruits before.
As expected, I’ll be able to benefit greatly just by following Boss Shen Tian!
I’m really filled to the brim with happiness now!
