592: Chapter 416 592: Chapter 416 As Elder Xuanyuan pondered, it seemed that some other elders had also thought of this issue.
In an instant, more than a dozen elders transformed their spiritual energy into swords, or arrows from bows, and shot them towards the sun and the moon.
Just as they had speculated, the sun and the moon seemed to sense the danger and went into hiding, with clouds concealing them.
In reality, they had already dispersed, turning into individual stars that were different from the stars in the sky, shining brighter and more dazzling.
The white energy creatures emitted white energy and hid deeper, mingling with some stars in the sky, and had not yet been quickly detected by people.
The golden energy elves, twinkling in the sky without moving, were realized to be different from other stars and couldn’t hide themselves.
The great power holders attacked these golden energy creatures first.
The great power holders began choosing their targets, casting a wide net, and embarked on a pursuit of tracking across thousands of miles, vowing to not relent until they achieved their goal.
These prideful beings had ruled the cultivation world for over a thousand years and had finally become the most capable beings in the realm.
This pride had been maintained for several centuries.
In just a day or two, they had been played with, which displeased them.
They were determined to capture the person and the desired creatures.
The golden energy creatures realized that people had begun attacking them and they were not weak; besides having tails that could spray fire and poison mist, they could also turn invisible and transform.
However, their abilities to shift and change were recognized by the great power holders.
The golden energy creatures, now enraged, began summoning their companions to set up formations, and used their suction ability to directly gnaw away at the large nets cast by the power holders.
Before, people used the net either to flee or to attack, but never to gnaw like this; “crunch, crack,” any weapon made of power would be chewed up with holes by the creatures, completely failing to contain the golden ones.
As the golden creatures exhibited their strength, the silver creatures didn’t fall behind; they transformed their silver light into energy stones to block attacks from the great power holders, either dodging or escaping.
In a short time, the dozen or so power holders could neither catch them nor entrap them with magical treasures.
Jiang Tang had sensed the changes in his creatures; the energy of these creatures was not that formidable.
It was during the time of his contract and training that he had shaped them into leech-like beings with the ability to suck blood and chew.
With the two types of creatures occupying the sky’s great powers, he was able to control his magical treasure and enter the sea world without distraction.
While some powerful beings were battling these creatures, they used their magical treasures and mana, attempting to capture them in the sea as well.
Unfortunately, all they managed was to churn the sea; the only thing they came into contact with were various fishes, and they were unable to locate the trace of the magical treasures.
They assumed the treasures had moved far away, not realizing they had actually descended into the depths of the sea, right where they started.
Jiang Tang erected an invisible wall, resembling the sea itself, frustrating the efforts of the searching power holders and blocking them at the sea’s surface or at its center.
Jiang Tang did not constantly engage in battles of magic with them, nor was it entirely out of fear—these people’s families, the Immortal Sects, had alliances with him.
Only a few of the power holders’ Immortal Sects had yet to extend the hand of friendship.
The web of interests here was too complicated.
To ensure the safety of the hundreds aboard his flying sword, he couldn’t take the risk to fight with these people or meet them.
Jiang Tang possessed two spatial realms and the Hell Palace within him.
In truth, whether it was a prolonged fight, a retreat, or an attack, he couldn’t lose; it was just that some of his hidden abilities must remain unknown to others.
Even towards his subordinates, he held back.
That saying held true, “Hand over all your abilities and you might starve your master.”
Jiang Tang believed he wouldn’t use his mana to harm others, but he couldn’t guarantee that others wouldn’t use it to harm people.
What mattered most was whether teaching someone the Star-absorbing Spell would lead them to use that power against him.
“Wow, a palace…!”
As Jiang Tang controlled the magical treasure, he ventured deeper into the ocean floor.
Just as they had predicted, there indeed was a surprise waiting.
At the entrance of the palace, colorful lights shone brilliantly.
Only a few had ever seen such a light; among the hundreds on the flying ship, some were witnessing it for the first time.
The rainbow light was as beautiful as an actual rainbow, shimmering and gorgeous.
Those who had experienced this light brightened at the sight—it was the same Immortal Qi light they had seen before.
Those who had never seen such a light found it beautiful, while others speculated that this beauty must signify something valuable.
The stones that had shimmered before had already provided them benefits, all being particularly useful items.
The shining entrance of the Dragon Palace Hall could be an indication of treasures inside, or perhaps it was the legendary Dragon Palace, housing a Demon King of the palace?
While inside the flying ship, people were unaware of the benefits the rainbow light might hold.
Only Jiang Tang, the one controlling the magical treasure, secretly absorbed the power of the rainbow light into his two spaces, using his treasure.
Jiang Tang had learned to store things covertly; such Immortal Qi was not encountered every day.
Seizing the opportunity, both he and his subordinates were fortunate.
But being the superior, how could he let his subordinates surpass him in power?
He must be more formidable than others, and what he did in secrecy was even more.
His family and clan waited for him to lead a change, to guide them into the ranks of the Immortals.
