Chapter 678 - 677: The Holy Spirits of the Taichu Ancient Mine Are Still So Arrogant [Part 2]
A terrifying presence roared with anger at Lin Heng’s intrusion.
But that was the extent of it.
It was unwilling to emerge, and could only stare fixatedly at the intruder, trying to use its terrifying pressure over the highland to warn the other party to leave.
But clearly, this was not realistic.
Lin Heng didn’t even acknowledge it, his indifferent eyes scanning around.
Throughout the highland, divine light shone everywhere, with heaps upon heaps of rare celestial materials stacked in various peculiar forms.
Some seemed like a treasure tower.
Some like mountain peaks.
And others like thorny jungles, gleaming with a biting cold light.
Without a doubt, this was a natural treasure trove, with rare celestial materials inside, some of which could rival sacred weapons, never to be diminished.
"Wow, this highland is full of treasures..."
"Red Flame Phoenix Gold, Red Lotus Blood Gold, Dragon Pattern Black Gold, tsk tsk tsk, these are all supreme celestial materials that can be used to forge extreme sacred weapons!"
"Qingqiu still has such places?"
Within the Little World, the Red-bottomed Macaque couldn’t help but click its tongue, naming each material as it looked around, almost drooling in astonishment.
"So many treasures left here is simply wasteful."
The Six-Eared Macaque’s eyes also shone with greed, feeling a strong urge to grab just anything.
But the terrifying pressure of this place kept them rational.
They could only look at Lin Heng expectantly.
Yet Lin Heng paid no heed to anything in his sight, focusing his gaze on the sacred Jinshan at the peak of the highland, and directly asked:
"Where is the Immortal Slaying Sword?"
The presence hidden within Jinshan was startled, but responded coldly:
"What Immortal Slaying Sword? I don’t know!"
Hearing this, Lin Heng’s gaze turned slightly cold.
"I have no intention of causing trouble, but I advise you to think carefully before answering." In Lin Heng’s hand, an Order Chain appeared, and in the sky, a Thunder Pool had already been summoned.
Terrifying momentum spread, causing the whole area to hum together.
The presence within Jinshan hesitated, a hint of anger crossing its face, and finally said with some irritation: "Take it and go!"
Clang!
The earth cracked as a ringing sound sliced through the air from a pile of Immortal Artifact materials.
The Immortal Slaying Sword shot out, arriving at Lin Heng’s side, trembling incessantly as if expressing joy and excitement.
Lin Heng gently caressed it, then put it away, turning to look at the presence within Jinshan.
"Wanting to steal a holy weapon is a punishable offense."
"However, considering your timely explanation, I won’t hold it against you."
"Let this pile of Immortal Soldiers be a minor punishment for your greed."
As Lin Heng spoke, he calmly swept his sleeve and swiftly took away half the celestial materials from the highland.
The terrifying presence within Jinshan went berserk at the sight, its immense fury sweeping across Qingqiu, triggering panic among countless beings outside.
It bellowed in anger: "Stop! Don’t be too excessive! Do you really think I’m afraid of you?"
Lin Heng replied without turning his head: "If you’re not convinced, feel free to come out for a battle."
No need for unnecessary words.
Lin Heng took the celestial materials right in front of that presence, leaving gracefully without a care.
Even with the overwhelming fury and roars behind him, he paid no attention.
Ultimately, it’s just one phrase.
If not convinced, feel free to come out for a battle!
Eventually, the Immortal Gold Highland gradually returned to peace.
That terrifying presence, though trembling with anger at Lin Heng’s arrogance, was overtaken by reason over impulsiveness.
No choice.
Setting aside whether emerging in rage could indeed reclaim the celestial materials from him.
Even if reclaimed, it would lead to a state of imperfection.
Not to mention, it would likely be futile to retrieve them...
After all, that guy is a headache even for Zhunti Jieyin!
"Damn Daoist, taking a little is fine, but taking half? That’s just unreasonable!"
Ultimately, this terrifying presence with eight hundred strands of Saint’s Breath could only stew in anger within the highland.
...
The mountain of celestial materials, thrown by Lin Heng into the Little World with a flick of his hand.
Instantly incited a cacophony of monkey cries.
The Red-bottomed Macaque found its mouth cracking into a gigantic grin, repeatedly exclaiming Celestial Venerable’s might.
While the Six-Eared Macaque wore a conflicted expression, wanting to steal a piece or two, but feeling it utterly disgraceful.
Nezha and Black Rakshasa, confronting these rare celestial materials, remained relatively unwavered.
The former, known for his indifference towards everything, wouldn’t have been overly thrilled even if a real Holy Soldier landed in front of him, let alone materials for forging Holy Soldiers.
The latter, instead, was preoccupied with matters concerning the Great Dark Asura Highland.
...
Leaving the Immortal Gold Highland, Lin Heng once again crossed the void, heading to another highland.
Previously, when he initiated the Immortal Slaying Sword Array against Zhunti Jieyin.
The Candle Dragon’s sudden collision scattered the four celestial swords across the Qingqiu Border Desolation.
Undoubtedly.
The Heaven-Reaching Sect Leader’s most terrifying divine weapon was naturally seized by powerful presences.
So the four celestial swords were taken by beings within the four highlands, respectively.
And Lin Heng was now heading towards the Innate Saint Realm.
The presence within this highland, with an even more explosive temper, wasn’t like the guy in the Immortal Gold Highland, who only dared to make threats.
The entity here was truly fierce in battle.
"Desist from advancing further, or I shall not hesitate to emerge for a battle!"
A terrifying presence shouted, shaking the Celestial Domain in the highland, with stars falling like rain.
Lin Heng couldn’t help but chuckle, recognizing a familiar aura from his travels in ancient history, that of the Taichu Ancient Mine he’d witnessed.
The Taichu Ancient Mine had been entirely relocated to this highland.
Lin Heng could feel several pairs of cold eyes watching him, poised to strike at any moment.
This reminded him of the scene where Lady Nuwa sought stones to mend the heavens.
The Innate Holy Spirits in the Taichu Ancient Mine were just as irritable back then, ready to battle a saint of their time over a mere disagreement!
Such a temper.
Truly formidable!
"Ladies and gentlemen, this humble Daoist intends no trouble, merely here to retrieve the Immortal Extinction Sword." Lin Heng explained calmly, his tone gentle.
Unexpectedly, the Innate Holy Spirits boldly retorted: "We didn’t go out to take it, the Immortal Extinction Sword simply landed here, now it’s ours since it’s in our territory, leave!"
"..."
In the Little World, Red-bottomed Macaque and others, upon hearing such audacious claims, couldn’t help but smirk and exclaim how impressive they were.
And Lin Heng too, found himself amused and at his wit’s end, ultimately resorting to bringing up Sun Wukong:
"Ladies and gentlemen, perhaps you don’t know, but the Holy Spirit who once accompanied Lady Nuwa in mending the heavens, now follows me."
