After killing the nine disciples of the Tai Chu Holy Land, the powerful aura on Xiao Yun gradually subsided. The divine projection behind him also disappeared, and the radiant golden light returned to his body, no longer shimmering.
Not far away, Tang Yunyun looked at Xiao Yun with a pale face. Her body was stiff and trembling. She couldn't bring herself to speak.
The scene was too bloody, with broken bodies, severed limbs, and scattered flesh and organs everywhere, resembling a purgatory.
And Xiao Yun was the god of slaughter in this purgatory, inspiring awe in everyone.
Even though Xiao Yun now appeared harmless, with a smile on his face and no trace of killing intent, he still frightened Tang Yunyun.
Xiao Yun cleaned up the battlefield, took off the spatial rings of the nine disciples of the Tai Chu Holy Land, and then approached Tang Yunyun. He asked lightly, "What? Do you think I'm cruel?"
His gaze was somewhat cold, and his eyes were slightly sharp as he looked at Tang Yunyun.
Tang Yunyun took a deep breath and shook her head, whispering, "No, they wanted to kill Senior Brother Xiao, so it's only right for Senior Brother Xiao to kill them."
"Let's go, let's continue on our way!" Xiao Yun said, and the coldness on his face disappeared instantly. He returned to his previous smiling expression and left with Tang Yunyun.
Fortunately, Tang Yunyun was not like Mu Qianxue, who was self-righteous. Otherwise, even if the other party was a disciple of her future master, she would have kept her distance and ignored them.
...
As they continued on their way, Xiao Yun checked his system.
Among the nine disciples of the Tai Chu Holy Land that he had killed, six of them had special constitutions. Therefore, he obtained a total of 60 opportunities for enlightenment.
This was truly delightful!
Xiao Yun couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation. If he could kill more geniuses with special constitutions here, perhaps he could achieve the creation of the Chaos Body in one fell swoop.
After another hour of traveling, Xiao Yun and Tang Yunyun came across some heavenly treasures.
"This is a thousand-year Vermilion Fruit. Consuming it can enhance cultivation." Xiao Yun saw several ripe and red fruits dripping with colorful radiance on a small tree, and he was filled with astonishment.
"Senior Brother Xiao, come and look! There's a ten-thousand-year Ginseng here. Ah... it's actually running away!" Suddenly, Tang Yunyun's cry of astonishment came from not far away.
Xiao Yun turned his head and saw an old ginseng using its roots to flee, moving faster than a person.
However, Tang Yunyun was a cultivator in the Physical Refinement Realm after all, so she quickly caught the old ginseng.
"A ten-thousand-year Ginseng that has already become sentient!" Xiao Yun couldn't help but sigh. In the outside world, treasures of this level were already extremely rare. Even in their Holy Land, only the Holy Son was qualified to obtain them.
It had to be said that this place was truly a treasure trove.
Xiao Yun quickly put away the thousand-year Vermilion Fruit in front of him, and then, with Tang Yunyun, continued on their way, searching for treasures.
As they delved deeper into the True Dragon's Nest, their harvest grew bigger and bigger, and both of their faces were filled with smiles.
"Senior Brother Xiao, our gains this time are incredible. I'm afraid that after we leave, I'll be able to step into the Divine Bridge Realm immediately," Tang Yunyun said happily, chattering like a joyful bird by Xiao Yun's side.
Although Xiao Yun was also very happy, he was not entirely satisfied.
After all, he was now the Holy Son of the Chaos Holy Land and fully qualified to obtain these treasures to enhance his cultivation in the Chaos Holy Land.
Xiao Yun had only two purposes for entering the True Dragon's Nest this time. One was to obtain a treasure that could transform his physical body, reaching the limit of one million kilograms of strength.
The other purpose was to obtain a treasure that could enhance his lifespan, which he planned to give to his cheap Master. Otherwise, his cheap Master would be on the verge of death in a hundred years.
Therefore, Xiao Yun was not satisfied with his current harvest. He said to Tang Yunyun, "Let's go, let's speed up and hurry to the core of the True Dragon's Nest."
Tang Yunyun nodded and followed closely behind Xiao Yun.
The two of them quickened their pace, advancing along the way, and continued to search for treasures they encountered.
Soon, they reached the core edge of the True Dragon's Nest.
"Senior Brother Xiao, come and take a look. Is this the legendary Nine-Leaf Heavenly Lingzhi?" Tang Yunyun exclaimed with joy, her face full of excitement, next to a green vine.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yun, who was searching for treasures not far away, immediately changed his expression. In an instant, he transformed into a flash of lightning and appeared next to Tang Yunyun.
Xiao Yun gazed at the green vine in front of him. There, a huge Lingzhi grew, different from ordinary Lingzhi. It was crystal-clear, translucent, and had eight golden leaves. The ninth leaf was already halfway formed.
In the Chaos Holy Land, Xiao Yun had also browsed through many books about heavenly treasures and earthly treasures. After all, if you were about to enter the True Dragon's Nest, what was the point if you didn't even recognize the heavenly treasures and earthly treasures inside?
Therefore, Xiao Yun was quite familiar with the heavenly treasures and earthly treasures of the cultivation world.
Almost at first glance, Xiao Yun recognized this Lingzhi. It was indeed the Nine-Leaf Heavenly Lingzhi that Tang Yunyun mentioned, a supreme holy item of legend.
Most importantly, it was a treasure capable of transforming one's physical body.
Xiao Yun's face immediately lit up with joy. "Indeed, it is the Nine-Leaf Heavenly Lingzhi. Although it is not completely mature yet, it will only take a few more days. This is a treasure that can cause a complete transformation and evolution of the physical body."
Tang Yunyun, who was standing beside him, also looked very happy. She smiled and said, "Senior Brother Xiao, you are already very strong. If you refine this Nine-Leaf Heavenly Lingzhi, your strength will further advance."
Although Tang Yunyun was the one who discovered this Nine-Leaf Heavenly Lingzhi first, she was well aware that without Xiao Yun leading her, she wouldn't have been able to come here, let alone obtain this Nine-Leaf Heavenly Lingzhi.
So, Tang Yunyun tactfully handed it over to Xiao Yun.
Xiao Yun was not polite about it. He wouldn't let go of such a treasure, and besides, he had already helped Tang Yunyun obtain many treasures along the way. He owed Tang Yunyun nothing.
"Tang Junior Sister, you are truly my lucky star. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have come across this Nine-Leaf Heavenly Lingzhi."
Xiao Yun nodded with a smile at Tang Yunyun, then said, "You go and rest first. I'll stay here and guard it until this Nine-Leaf Heavenly Lingzhi is fully mature."
Tang Yunyun nodded and sat down cross-legged on the side, calming her mind.
Xiao Yun remained by the side of the Nine-Leaf Heavenly Lingzhi, his eyes sharp as he scanned the surroundings, showing great vigilance.
The Nine-Leaf Heavenly Lingzhi was about to mature, and at this critical moment, he didn't want anyone to disrupt it.
However, it happened that just after Xiao Yun had guarded it for an hour, a powerful aura suddenly emerged from the forest ahead, and a figure was rapidly approaching this location.
Xiao Yun's eyes narrowed, his gaze as sharp as a blade, directed towards the forest in front of him.
No matter who the person was, daring to snatch his Nine-Leaf Heavenly Lingzhi would only lead to one outcome: death.
"Hahaha, my great opportunity has arrived! I actually encountered the legendary Nine-Leaf Heavenly Lingzhi!"
"With this treasure, Ye Wuchen will no longer be my opponent, even the Time-Space Avatar of the Primordial Holy Land. I'm confident I can fight against them."
Before the person arrived, their voice had already reached Xiao Yun's ears.
A tall figure emerged from the forest. He carried a war sword on his back, and his long hair flowed without wind, exuding a strong and sharp aura.
He was Liu Nanshan, the Holy Son of the Heavenly Blade Holy Land, possessing an innate body of the blade.
Xiao Yun recognized this person at a glance.
