Chapter 626 - Sealing Magic Treasures, Catching Minor Demons
y this again: the Ah Zi family has done us a favor. No matter what happens, you mustn’t let her down and should look after her well in the future," said the grandmother suddenly while in the car."Mom,...Chapter 626: Collecting Treasures, Capturing a Little Demon!
This old man was Xu Ke's sixth senior brother, the sixth disciple of that Taiyi Cave's cave lord.
The Golden Dragon lineage valued master-disciple succession, but once cultivators reached Kunqian level, they had to actively separate from their masters. By reaching the Qian rank, one could establish their own sect—the master wouldn't always support their disciples financially.
When Wang Shitong arrived in Donghai City this time, his ostensible reason was Jiang Yuan's painting exhibition, but in reality, he came to capture a little demon king.
A little demon king was a monster that had passed the tribulation of transforming into human form via lightning strikes. Although their strength wasn't strong yet, as they were monsters surpassing the tenth level, their value could be easily imagined.
If the little demon king were in or near the Sea of Ten Thousand Demons, he wouldn't dare to act on it, but mingling in a city without any great demon kings around, with his peak Qian rank realm, he was worth trying.
This time when he just arrived in Donghai City, Xu Ke contacted him and asked for help to retrieve his master's Heaven-Piercing Shield.
Wang Shitong had the title of being a fellow disciple with Xu Ke, but they didn't have any brotherly bond. Two hundred years ago when he left Taiyi Cave, Xu Ke hadn't even been born yet.
However, since it was his master's treasure, as a disciple, he should at least make an effort.
Hum… hum…
In Hao Ren's interspace, the Golden Light Shield sensed the aura of a powerful cultivator and became somewhat restless again.
"Come out!" Wang Shitong cast his gaze towards Hao Ren’s necklace and reached out to grab it.
Without Hao Ren's spiritual energy control, the interspace suddenly became unstable, causing the Golden Light Shield to fly out with a snap.
He knew that Hao Ren was a great general in Donghai, but the Golden Dragon and the other four dragon lineages had almost no interaction. A Qian rank peak cultivator like him wouldn't be intimidated by Donghai's might.
Upon learning from Xu Ke that Hao Ren was only a Gen rank cultivator, he felt somewhat displeased; a mere Gen rank cultivator asking for his help as a Qian rank peak cultivator seemed rather presumptuous.
At this moment, Hao Ren's body had no spiritual energy at all. Wang Shitong didn't have the patience to investigate what exactly happened and was already locked onto the little demon king’s location, planning to act in the evening.
The Golden Light Shield rose up, while Xiao Bai seized the opportunity to carry Hao Ren off into the sky.
"Heaven-Piercing Shield, return!" Wang Shitong recited the incantation and reached out his right hand towards the Golden Light Shield.
This heavenly treasure had been used by him several times in the past; he still cherished it fondly. He never thought that after two hundred years, he would have another chance to use it again.
If this Golden Light Shield weren't his master's precious treasure, even a Qian rank peak cultivator like himself might have thoughts of coveting it!
Ha ha! Having retrieved the Golden Light Shield, it was perfect timing to go after that little demon king as well!
A little demon king would be excellent material for alchemy and treasure forging!
The Golden Light Shield followed Xiao Bai far away with a whoosh.
"How… could this happen!" Wang Shitong's eyes widened in astonishment.
Although it had been more than two hundred years since he last used the Heaven-Piercing Shield, he still remembered its incantation clearly!
And when he used the Heaven-Piercing Shield back then, he was only Xun rank. Now he was at peak Qian rank; there should be no reason for him to fail in retrieving it!
Just as he was slightly taken aback, Little White had already carried Hao Ren and flown into the sky! The speed of Little White could match that of a cultivator in the Core Formation stage!
"Hmph! Do you think you can escape" Wang Shitong’s feet touched the ground before suddenly flying up.
Donghai City was the main city of the Donghai Dragon Palace. In theory, it shouldn’t have been possible for him to act so arrogantly on their turf, but he had reached Peak Heaven Grade and thus felt unafraid!
Previously, the Donghai Dragon Palace also had a Peak Heaven Grade cultivator named Zhao Kuo, which made Wang Shitong somewhat hesitant. However, now who could stop him
The region inspector of Donghai City was inferior to him in cultivation realm.
In the Golden Dragon lineage, the teacher-student system was prevalent; even if the Donghai Dragon Palace felt aggrieved, they couldn’t find a corresponding dragon palace. They would only be able to find his Purple Profound Grotto!
And he, as a Peak Heaven Grade cultivator, what did he have to fear of the Donghai Dragon Palace’s displeasure
With the expansion and contraction of Wang Shitong’s feet, he stepped into mid-air and chased after Little White. This was the realm technique of the Peak Heaven Grade—Heavenly Distance in an Instant!
The Golden Dragons were famous for their ascetic practices; over half of them didn’t even reach the Exchange Stage due to their fervent cultivation methods. The proportion of cultivators at the Heaven and Earth stage among them was the highest, as was their variety of techniques!
Wang Shitong, who looked like he was over 60 years old, was actually already 500 years old! And being able to reach Peak Heaven Grade at 500 years old was a prodigy among the entire dragon race!
Hence, although the Purple Profound Grotto that he occupied couldn’t compare with one of his teacher’s Five Great Celestial Realms—the Supreme One Grotto—it still ranked as part of the Thirty-Six Great Celestial Realms.
"Seize!" Wang Shitong once again reached out to grab the Golden Light Shield.
The Golden Light Shield spun around and appeared in front of Little White.
It was an artifact that connected heaven and earth; it possessed its own consciousness. However, it wasn’t something a Peak Heaven Grade cultivator could just seize if they wanted to. In this world, only a cultivator at the Spirit Transformation stage would be able to completely control it.
"Return!" Wang Shitong reached out once more towards the Golden Light Shield.
The Golden Light Shield quickly spun and appeared on Little White’s side.
Little White was startled, its four paws moving rapidly as it ascended to even higher heights in the sky.
Hao Ren sat atop Little White and looked down at the towering skyscrapers of the city hundreds of meters below. He felt slightly panicked.
He currently had no spiritual energy, so if there was any slip-up… he would fall off Little White’s back!
"Hmph!" Wang Shitong’s hands suddenly emitted dazzling light as they reached out for the Golden Light Shield.
The Golden Light Shield swirled out a streak of golden light, circling in mid-air without allowing Wang Shitong to seize it.
Wang Shitong tried to grab again; the Golden Light Shield escaped. It was almost as though they were playing hide and seek in mid-air!
Bang!
Finally, Wang Shitong lost his patience and released the power of a Peak Heaven Grade cultivator.
The Golden Light Shield trembled slightly, seemingly stunned by this display of might.
"Then come with me!" Points of golden light appeared in Wang Shitong’s parched hands.
He spread his hands out, welcoming the Golden Light Shield.
Indeed, one must release the aura of a super powerhouse for such treasures to submit or pledge allegiance!
His hands slowly approached the Golden Light Shield. Just as his fingers were about to touch it, the shield suddenly moved again and shot up abruptly.
The so-called fear was nothing but an act!
"Rubbish!" Wang Shitong's kind-looking old face instantly showed signs of embarrassment and anger.
The previous Golden Light Shield hadn't been this sentient yet!
"Who are you Bullying our master!"
Lu L琳琳 and Lu 莉莉's cute voices suddenly appeared in the thin clouds at the bottom.
A green and a blue ray of light shot toward Wang Shitong directly.
The Yin-Yang Rings, one black and one white, struck out left and right at Wang Shitong!
Wang Shitong waved his hand, producing a golden net in the palm of his hand that covered down towards Lu L琳琳 and Lu 莉莉 sisters and their treasures.
The Lu sisters hurriedly dodged to either side, but their treasures were caught by Wang Shitong's golden net.
Just as Wang Shitong was about to gloat in triumph, the Yin-Yang Rings immediately shrank into finger ring sizes and escaped through the holes of the net. They then transformed back into a black one and white one pair of long swords, gripped by Lu L琳琳 and Lu 莉莉 sisters who thrust them at him from both sides.
The golden net changed into a harpoon, blocking Lu L琳琳 and Lu 莂莉莉's long swords.
"A mere Earth Rank, don't disgrace yourself!" Wang Shitong jabbed out with his left and right hands simultaneously.
Two rays of golden light struck Lu L琳琳 and Lu 莉莉 sisters' shoulders, sending them flying away directly.
"Seize!" Wang Shitong grasped both hands out at the same time; the Yin-Yang Rings that had transformed back to their original forms were instantly received into his palms by him.
"Master..." Lu L琳琳 and Lu 莉莉 sisters順勢彈開到郝仁身邊,順勢took advantage of the momentum and bounced over to Hao Ren. Hao Ren hurriedly supported their backs with his arms, then quickly used his strength to embrace them in his arms.
Little White slid out another dozen meters before finally managing to hold up the weight of all three of them.
"Haha! The materials of these two treasures are quite good!" Wang Shitong looked at the two treasures in his palm, saying with satisfaction.
Linelin and Lilily had been using the "Poison Pill Plan" on Hao Ren, causing their cultivation levels to drop from Heaven Rank to Earth Rank. Their bodies hadn't fully recovered either; they were still in a weakened state.
If it had been an ordinary Heaven Rank, they would have managed to defeat him together, but this Heaven Rank Apex was a formidable enemy beyond what they had anticipated.
The Yin-Yang Rings had never been lost before as their life-bound treasures, yet now they were taken away by the Heaven Rank Apex old man. The Lu sisters' faces instantly flushed red with humiliation and anger.
"Are there any injuries" Hao Ren looked at their shoulders and asked.
“We are fine, master!” They answered in unison to Hao Ren.
The moment Wang Shitong had fired out the two rays of golden light, their Yin-Yang Rings had defended separately, just managing to block the golden rays but also causing them to be flung up and taken away by him.
This old man's strength far exceeds their expectations.
"This Heaven-Soaring Shield is my master’s treasure, and I only need to retrieve the treasure; I won’t be bothered by anything else!" Wang Shitong looked down at Hao Ren and Lu sisters from a height, saying so.
The Golden Dragon lineage has never followed the rules of the Dragon God Temple. Instead, it adhered to the primitive law of survival of the fittest. If anyone provoked the Golden Dragon, they would be exterminated without hesitation.
However, Hao Ren was still somewhat different; he was a great general of the East Sea. Therefore, Wang Shitong only wanted to reclaim the Heaven-Soaring Shield belonging to Taiyi Cave and did not intend to injure or kill Hao Ren.
As for Hao Ren’s Mystic Water Sword Technique, Xu Ke feared that his sixth senior brother, who had already established his own faction, would intervene, so he didn’t mention it.
"Alright then, let's see if it wants to go back with you." Sitting on Little White's back, Hao Ren said loudly.
The Golden Light Shield emitted a humming sound and remained between Hao Ren and Wang Shitong.
Wang Shitong’s whole body trembled as he released a thick aura of spirit energy.
All spiritual treasures would automatically seek out places with dense spirit energy and also choose to follow powerful beings.
He knew that his master regularly fed the Heaven-Soaring Shield with spirit energy. He wouldn’t believe that a cultivator below the pinnacle of the Dryn level could also nourish a divine-grade spiritual treasure!
Hum… hum…
The Golden Light Shield emitted golden ripples.
Spiritual treasures choosing their masters!
It spun around, releasing large amounts of spirit energy while remaining calm and quiet.
Zs…
It glided through the clouds slowly and drifted towards Hao Ren!
Hao Ren’s Quantum Space had a certain concentration of spirit energy, and the Mystic Peak in the fifth layer was even more abundant with spiritual energy! There was also Little White to play with it. Weighing everything up, it preferred following Hao Ren!
Joo joo joo… Little White cried out. It actually didn’t want the Golden Light Shield to return.
"Since a spiritual treasure has chosen its master, what’s there left to talk about" Seeing the Golden Light Shield circling around him, Hao Ren shouted at Wang Shitong.
"Eliminating you would mean no more master!" Wang Shitong's whole body was engulfed in golden light as it surged.
"Don’t you fear the Dragon God Temple when causing trouble on East Sea City’s territory" Hao Ren shouted at him again.
"Dragon God Temple! Hmph! I really don't take them seriously!" Wang Shitong glared and loudly replied to Hao Ren.
His trident transformed into three and floated up by itself.
"Is that so You don’t even care about the Dragon God Temple"
