1259: Chapter 311_2 1259: Chapter 311_2 Gradually, the Sect Hierarch of the Cloud Reaching Sect and the others also took their seats and began to recover.
Array Sound looked at the seated crowd, then glanced at Xiang Ziyu, who was still making his selection, his face filled with a sense of helplessness.
What kind of situation was this?
You want to pick slowly, that’s fine, but aren’t you picking way too slowly?
Could it be that selecting a treasure could take an entire day?
You are here selecting treasures now, and we simply cannot put the treasures away.
After all, what the Five Sounds Sect had promised was, after they had selected twenty treasures, the remaining ones would be chosen by others.
Currently, as Xiang Ziyu had not finished selecting the treasures, theoretically any of the remaining items could potentially be chosen by him.
Hence, until Xiang Ziyu finished his selection, they truly couldn’t take those items away!
Thankfully, Xiang Ziyu didn’t take a whole day; he only took from dawn until midnight, picking until the sky darkened before he finally chose his item.
It was a piece of Immortal Mine.
The reason he chose that particular Immortal Mine was that it had a mark on it made by a bolt of lightning.
Choosing a treasure as an Immortal, his reasons were indeed quite peculiar!
Other people would either pick what’s right or what’s expensive, but he did not pick what’s right, only what’s odd.
Finally, the people from the Five Sounds Sect could take away all the treasures.
The crowd did not leave immediately, as they needed to recuperate.
That night, Cao Zhen returned to the courtyard he had been staying in before, where he rested while contacting Yi Sheng through the China Cloud.
After making an inquiry, he learned that the Eastern Wasteland was still moving forward at its usual pace, and they were still very far away from the mist.
Only the experts at the Golden Core Stage could see the mist.
Those below the Golden Core Stage, with their vision, couldn’t even see the mist.
That mist was not ordinary in its expanse; this proved that they were still a long way from connecting to the Eastern Province.
Cao Zhen felt at ease with this information.
After another day of recuperation, they bid farewell to the people from the Five Sounds Sect.
Cao Zhen initially wanted to take his own disciple to the southern part of the Eastern Province, but Immortal Bi Yue insisted on following Cao Zhen.
With Bi Yue following, Yu Long and his thirty or so members of the Dragon Chant Sect also wanted to come along.
This didn’t surprise Cao Zhen; what did surprise him was Jiu Yin’s intentions?
Aboard the Flying Boat, Cao Zhen looked at Jiu Yin, who was snugly by Xiang Ziyu’s side, with a perplexed expression, then looked at Immortal Bi Yue next to him, wanting to ask if the women of the Eastern Province were all so bold?
Even compared to Jiu Yin, Bi Yue was more reserved.
This Jiu Yin had actually gone to Xiang Ziyu and directly stated she wanted to dual cultivate with him!
“No, stop following me,” Zi Yu said with a headache looking at Jiu Yin trailing behind him.
“I’ve told you many times already, I’m not interested in women.
I’m only interested in cultivation.
What’s that?
That’s also cultivation?
Then I’m no longer interested in cultivation either.
I know I am the protagonist.
I’m very charming, but you should know, as the protagonist, lots of women will like me by destiny.
Jiu Yin, this is meaningless for you, don’t waste your time on me.
Women will only affect the speed of my sword draw!”
“What?
I don’t use a sword?
Then women will affect the speed at which I draw my sword!”
No matter what Zi Yu said, Jiu Yin was fixated on him, determined to stick by his side.
Unexpectedly, Immortal Bi Yue admired Jiu Yin’s forthrightness and then left Zi Yu be.
“Let it be, if you must follow, follow.
After all, that is also a presence at the limit of the Golden Core Stage; one more person gives us additional strength.” Cao Zhen decided not to bother with these issues, instead, he returned to his own room and started to contact Yi Sheng again.
Before long, the image of Yi Sheng appeared in his sight.
This time, Yi Sheng was neither on Four Treasures Peak nor near any spring or lake, but on a Flying Boat.
“Yi Sheng, why are you on the Flying Boat?
And all these people around you, these are the Disciples of Hundred Peaks Sect, where are you guys heading?”
Cao Zhen was surprised to see a group of Disciples of Hundred Peaks Sect inside the Flying Boat.
Yi Sheng wouldn’t normally leave Hundred Peaks Sect so casually.
“Master, you finally contacted me!” Yi Sheng immediately responded upon hearing his master’s voice.
“Master, just yesterday evening, something strange happened.
For some reason, our Eastern Wasteland, as well as East Breeze and the Eastern Border, and other large domains, suddenly accelerated their speed flying towards the white mist.
Previously, those below the Golden Core Stage couldn’t see the mist, but overnight, as dawn broke, even those at the Core Formation Stage could see the mist.
At this rate, we might connect with the mist very soon.
Therefore, we are now rushing towards the mist with the greatest speed.”
“What!
How is our Eastern Wasteland dealing with this now?”
Cao Zhen hadn’t expected that when he contacted Yi Sheng yesterday noon, everything was still fine, but by evening, an unexpected event had occurred.
Yi Sheng’s face showed a determined expression: “The major Immortal Sects of our Eastern Wasteland have discussed this.
Now, each major Immortal Sect is sending out experts to head to Desolate Cold Country, as we need to stand guard at the place closest to the mist.
If any power attempts to attack our Eastern Wasteland, we will fight to the last drop of our blood!”
Desolate Cold Country is the northernmost country of the Eastern Wasteland, home to only one sect, the Falling Frost Sect.
But relying solely on the Falling Frost Sect, one sect naturally cannot withstand potential attacks from the Eastern Province.
