Capítulo 1691: Chapter 1693: A Slip-Up
Feng Jun set his sights on the Vermilion Owl Gel, mainly due to its exceptional defensive capabilities.
After acquiring it, he quietly slipped away. Initially, he flew slowly and cautiously, but as he got further from Netherworld Island, his flying speed increased, and eventually, he decided to use the flying boat.
After flying over ten thousand miles, he looked around and planned to stop the flying boat in mid-air.
But after reconsidering, he piloted the flying boat directly into the sea and then took out a piece of Mystic Turtle at.
This was from a Golden Core Demon Beast, and if it were to be thrown into the sea, who knows how many Spirit Beasts and wild beasts would be attracted.
The at of a Golden Core Demon Beast not only provides great nourishnt but might also elevate one’s cultivation level—as long as one doesn’t explode from it, that is.
However, Feng Jun took out the Mystic Turtle at inside the flying boat, so both the spiritual energy and blood scent didn’t disseminate into the seawater; only the faint pressure of the Golden Core Demon Beast did.
A small piece of at exerted a minor pressure, and part of it was blocked by the flying boat, but even so, ordinary wild beasts instinctively felt so discomfort. The ocean is vast, so why swim where they feel uneasy?
Strictly speaking, this situation wouldn’t last long in the Endless Sea. If a Golden Core Demon Beast were to pass by, or a group of wild beasts brave enough to fight a Golden Core, Feng Jun’s flying boat wouldn’t remain undisturbed.
But he just wanted so peace for a short while, without any unexpected factors disturbing his plans.
Just as he expected, the flying boat settled at the bottom, resting on the seabed without any surprises.
Before leaving Netherworld Island, Feng Jun synchronized his ti with Feng Jing. He sat in the flying boat, calmly waiting for ti to pass.
When the agreed ti arrived, he exited to the Earth Realm to fetch a branch of the Red Wood Essence.
There was no other way, as the Red Wood Essence is extrely sensitive to its own branches. Even if Feng Jun stored it in a storage bag, the essence could vaguely sense its presence, tracking it over millions of miles and pestering him to return it.
This ti, seeking revenge, and to avoid the essence sensing his whereabouts, he left the item in the Earth Realm.
Actually, Feng Jun felt this might be due to the low grade of his storage bag. If there were a higher-grade storage bag—like the storage ring that a Big Boss uses, which can stack space—he believed the chances of being exposed would be much lower.
After retrieving the branch, he began to deduce—it was at this mont he believed the other party had already sensed it.
Sure enough, the Red Wood Essence instantly felt its split branch appear not far from itself—really quite close, just a little over ten thousand miles.
At this distance, it rely needed to move its mind to retrieve its branch.
But right now, the head of the Red Wood Essence was truly wooden—it was never one to be good at thinking in the first place. After all, who could expect a piece of wood to possess strong cognitive abilities? Worse yet, Master Dang was fooling it.
At this mont, the overseer of the Ten Directions platform had changed from a standing to a sitting position—this pose better conserved spiritual energy.
Master Dang had been trying to earnestly communicate with the other party, but in his view, his attempts at misinformation were ineffective.
Yet in the heart of the Red Wood Essence, doubt had grown, believing this human before it to be too cunning—dammit, Feng Jun hasn’t even arrived, and yet you deduce from our idle conversation that it was him who hard , and thus you threaten with him?
Humans… truly untrustworthy, so many wicked and deviant thods, it’s easy to get caught unexpectedly!
It really wanted to first deal with this creature to avoid unsettling its own mind.
But… it genuinely was quite heavily injured, and the spiritual energy environnt of the Kunhao Plane was extrely unfriendly to a Nascent Soul level being.
It must be noted that the Red Wood Essence could easily eliminate the ten directions overseer in a very short ti—in less than a minute.
But it had to consider that while it could preemptively eliminate the overseer, it could temporarily ignore the Kunhao Plane’s reaction to a True Immortal taking action. Still, trying to forcibly eliminate Master Dang, besides attracting enmity, would also incur additional spiritual energy costs.
Indeed, it had already planned to start by harvesting from Qi-Refining Disciples, and as its cultivation level grew, it could then harvest from Transcendents, and finally collect from the Golden Core five.
This plan was very rigorous, having fully considered its maximum absorption capacity—those Golden Cores weren’t unmanageable, but prioritizing them wasn’t beneficial, as it wouldn’t handle unexpected events well and would seriously disrupt its plans.
Cultivators familiar with spirit monsters knew best that the mindset of wood elent spirit monsters was rigid—”wooden skull” wasn’t just a nickna.
Take for instance: A wood elent spirit monster believed that a peer growing two annual rings in one year was an aberration, and must be burned at the stake.
No other way, wood elent spirit monsters were just that stubborn; they wouldn’t consider any unexpected events, sticking to procedures was best—including the severest punishnt being “must be burned,” drowning absolutely wouldn’t work.
All being of the wood elent, who didn’t know? Drowning wouldn’t necessarily kill, but proper burning… survival was basically impossible.
Anyway, the redwood spirit took it seriously and felt that Master Dang was belittling its intelligence, causing it to be angry — how dare you, a minor Golden Core, try to deceive ?
However, just as it eliminated so distractions and proceeded to absorb its blood food thodically, it suddenly sensed that its doppelgänger branch was nearby — put yourself in its shoes, how would it feel?
Its first reaction was: You people of the Ten Directions Platform are really damn annoying, first you deceive , then you create a fake Feng Jun outside, do you really think I have a wooden brain?
The redwood spirit suspected that the Feng Jun outside was a fake, but there’s no way to fake its doppelgänger — that’s its own possession!
Therefore, it calmly maintained everything on Netherworld Island but couldn’t help paying attention to what was happening ten thousand miles away.
The distance of ten thousand miles to it is equivalent to an ordinary person on Earth seeing a distance of about ten ters, it could cover that distance in the blink of an eye.
But it could take a look first, see what’s going on ten ters away, retrieving the doppelgänger is necessary, but the ans must be considered — it’s right in front of its own house, what’s there to be unexpected?
Feng Jun really didn’t know that the redwood spirit had so many inner dramas — when he took out the verdant branch, he was already prepared for an attack, this thing is really too sensitive, there’s no way it couldn’t sense it.
So he waited on the flying boat, fully vigilant, waiting for soone to ambush him.
Don’t underestimate this waiting; this is their “bait” discussed among the three. Ji Buseng was eager for such opportunities — he felt this kind of thing was exciting enough.
However, Feng Jun didn’t give him this opportunity, because Feng Jun knows very well that once a True Immortal attacks, there’s no defense against it, he might possibly dodge it, but others would really stand no chance.
But now he was very puzzled: I’ve already taken out the branch, why is there no response?
About this doppelgänger branch, he had skimd through so miscellaneous books, and had a rough idea of its price — let’s put it this way, in the Kunhao Plane, anything related to a True Immortal isn’t just about Spirit Stones.
First, you need to see if you are qualified to buy it — if you’re not qualified, don’t even think about it. Then you talk about the price.
However, the price isn’t about regular Spirit Stones, the trade currency starts at Middle Spirit, most of the ti, it’s about how much resource you can exchange for — those who own these things rarely trade them for Middle Spirit.
Feng Jun didn’t have the mind to calculate how much this thing was worth, he was puzzled because even if just talking about the price, the redwood spirit shouldn’t have no reaction, what’s happening now?
Anyway, the less reaction the opponent had, the higher his vigilance beca.
At this mont, he was very thankful for choosing the seabed, if he had chosen the midair, just the uncertain waiting would have left him uneasy and restless.
At the seabed, he only needed to guard against attacks from above, there was no need to be so panicked.
The spirit monster was suspicious about the doppelgänger branch but couldn’t ignore it. Although it was deceived badly, it ultimately was at the Nascent Soul Level, so it still had its own judgnt.
It decided to calm down first and not follow the other’s rhythm… Guiding the rhythm, after all, was the most annoying thing.
Before that, it first accelerated the absorption of the blood essence of two Qi Refining Disciples, even though it was insignificant, it could increase a little bit of power, the most crucial thing was… having sothing to do stopped the impulse to check the doppelgänger.
Under Master Dang’s furious glare, it sucked the two Qi Refining Disciples from the Ten Directions Platform dry into human husks.
This process took about twenty minutes, it operated neither fast nor slow, and the two Qi Refining Disciples were tough, they were tortured to death without making a sound.
After finishing this, the spirit monster slightly digested the blood essence and then discreetly released its Divine Sense, moving quickly yet stealthily — it was very curious, after all this ti had passed, why the opponent hadn’t made a move, were they brewing so nasty plan?
After releasing a faint Divine Sense, it imdiately beca furious: the person sitting in the flying boat was actually that bastard Feng Jun!
In other situations, it might have calmly considered it, but since it was Feng Jun, and he was already here, not far from it, holding its doppelgänger branch!
This was absolutely intolerable, kid, you’re seeking death!
Feng Jun had waited nervously for more than half an hour, becoming more nervous as ti passed, and it was quite torturous.
When an extrely weak Divine Sense swept by, triggering the warning formation subtly, he finally perked up — it’s coming!
It really ca, and aggressively, but to Feng Jun’s speechlessness, the first attack ca from underground!
Yes, several thick roots brutally pierced through the flying boat’s hull, attempting to entangle him without hesitation, and crucially, they appeared without any sign!
“Mistake!” Feng Jun cursed himself inwardly, his opponent this ti was not an ordinary Cultivator, but the redwood spirit, why hadn’t he thought that it could attack from underground?
In fact, in the water at that mont, countless branches and leaves had also pierced through, skewering those sea beasts caught off-guard onto the branches as they passed by.
