Chapter 139: Alarming Refining of the Treasure

  Zhao Zhuo couldn't help but burst out laughing, waving his hand to set up the Sky-Covering Array Formation. Even if it couldn't stop powerful cultivators, at least it could block some scattered cultivators.

  Thrown into the trunk, Zhao Zhuo flew close to ten thousand miles before entering the heart of the astonishing wood. What appeared in front of him was a towering pillar of light, and at its core was the heart of the astonishing wood.

  The tree is towering high, with a trunk as thick as tens of meters, containing an enormous and unparalleled essence of wood.

  "Oh dear, if this opportunity is missed, it will definitely be a regret that cannot be undone"

  Zhao Duo excitedly rubbed his hands together, his eyes fixed intently on the astonishing Mu Mu Xin in front of him.

  Zhao Huo's eyes shone brightly as he slowly released a bit of his heart fire to refine the towering wooden core that reached up to 10,000 feet. As Zhao Huo refined it, the wooden core gradually shrunk in size.

  When Zhao Zhuo received the Shocking Wood's Wooden Heart, the towering Shocking Wood underwent a drastic change. The tall Shocking Wood began to sway violently, and its originally withered tree crown snapped off in large areas. Many scattered cultivators were caught off guard and fell down.

  In the Jing Tian Mu, Zhao Shuo didn't know about the commotion outside and focused on collecting the wood core. As he watched the wood core become smaller and smaller, it finally turned into a long stick that was entirely green with a fluorescent glow. He raised an eyebrow and said, "No way, are you trying to refine a rod-shaped magic treasure? I'm not a monkey, I'm not used to this."

  At this time a voice came from the treasure tower: "Zhao Suo, you can refine the wood heart of this shocking wood into a pair of shocking sticks."

  Zhao Duo knew that was the voice of Bai Jing, and upon hearing this, his heart skipped a beat. He then burst out laughing and said: "You're absolutely right! I'll split it into two and refine a pair of shocking sticks."

  Zhao Zhuo split the wooden core in two, and at the same time took out several heavenly treasures from the treasure tower, apparently wanting to take advantage of the opportunity to refine them into magical artifacts.

  Zhao Duo was not the first time to refine the method of treasure, had refined the nine sons ghost mother yin and yang sword laid the foundation, so when Zhao Duo began to refine a pair of shocking sticks, there was no unexpected situation.

  At the same time that Zhao Gang was refining the Heaven-Defying Staff, the Heaven-Defying Wood, which had been extracted of its wood heart, was withering at a speed visible to the naked eye. The originally lush green leaves were turning yellow and falling down like rain, and even the branches were snapping off one after another.

  Such a strange phenomenon attracted many cultivators to watch, but the entire tree withered and died, its crown falling down like rain, yet no cultivator was able to get close.

  Two days passed and the originally majestic tree withered and died. In its place, a large mountain appeared, formed by the accumulation of the tree's crown.

  On this day, a shocking long whistle came from under the Great Mountain, and at the same time, a figure broke through the mountain, holding a long stick in his hand. The person who came out was none other than Zhao Zhuo, who had refined the shocking stick.

  Excitedly, he threw the surprising stick into the air and shouted loudly: "Big, big, big!"

  Only to see that the Heaven-Shocking Stick, under Zhao Zhuo's control, rapidly expanded like a giant pillar supporting the sky, then slowly shrunk back down, finally falling into Zhao Zhuo's hand like a needle for embroidery.

  Zhao Zhuo saw that he had finally succeeded in refining the shocking stick and couldn't help but laugh loudly towards the sky.

  The Heaven-Defying Rod, although it was divided into two due to the material's properties, resulted in the cultivation of two rods that were one grade lower than expected. Originally, it could have cultivated a single top-grade acquired Spiritual Treasure, but now it had cultivated two high-grade acquired Spiritual Treasures instead.

  Although it seems like a loss, Zhao Xiao didn't think so. Originally, these two Heaven-shocking Sticks were refined by Zhao Xiao for Jing Bu Si and Jing Bu Mie to use. The level of high-grade acquired spiritual treasures was already quite powerful, even among those who had returned to the first stage, not many cultivators possessed such a treasure.

  "Hey, isn't this person Zhao Shuo who had a falling out with Chong Xuanzong?"

  "Wow, it's actually Zhao Zhuo. I heard he single-handedly killed nearly a hundred elders of the Chongxiao Sect, he's simply a great killing god!"

  ……

  Luckily, Zhao Zhuo didn't hear these people's words, otherwise he would have been shocked and fallen from the sky. However, with so many cultivators surrounding him, after his initial joy, Zhao Zhuo also knew that one shouldn't reveal their wealth too openly, and quickly put away the Heaven-Shocking Stick.

  Although Zhao Zhuo didn't know that with his current "ferocious name", there weren't many cultivators who dared to find trouble with him. Those with high cultivation and no grudges against Zhao Zhuo, especially those who feared his North Ming Kunpeng Fa Xiang, naturally wouldn't easily make enemies with Zhao Zhuo. As for the weaker cultivators, just thinking about how miserable the Chong Xiao Sect was made by Zhao Zhuo made them lose all their ideas.

  Suddenly someone shouted, "Ah, I understand! The wood core of this Shocking Wood was taken away by Zhao Zhuo and refined into that treasure, how could I not have thought of this point..."

  As soon as he said that, the cultivators present immediately reacted and looked at Zhao Xiao with envy, jealousy, and reverence.

  Zhao didn't know what these people were thinking, but he knew it was better to leave first. If one of them shouted something, the crowd would rush up and he would be torn apart.

  Think about how the over 100 elders of the Zhongyuan Sect ended up, Zhao Zhuo knew that he should never offend the masses at any time. One person may not be noticeable, but the principle that many people have great power is still known to Zhao Zhuo.

  There was no need to say anything, Zhao Zhuo released the North Ming Kunpeng method and disappeared immediately. However, he didn't expect that the moment the North Ming Kunpeng method appeared, it would attract countless scattered cultivators to exclaim in surprise one after another.

  More and more cultivators are gathering in the Fudi Cave Heaven, and the heavenly materials and earthly treasures that can be found are gradually being discovered. As fewer and fewer treasures can be found, many cultivators have begun to set their sights on other cultivators.

  Rather than searching for treasure with great difficulty, it would be faster to rob other cultivators directly. As a result, the Fowu Cave Heaven was immediately filled with blood and gore, and everywhere could be seen cultivators killing each other.

  Killing and robbing is so natural for cultivators, no one thinks there's anything wrong with it, they rob things with such a strong sense of righteousness.

  All the way, Zhao Zhuo was intercepted several times, but unfortunately, those who dared to intercept Zhao Zhuo were all slapped flying by Zhao Zhuo. Their cultivation had not reached the Return to One period and could not enter Zhao Zhuo's eyes.

  Looking at the slaughter along the way, Zhao Zhuo sighed and said: "Jian Ge, why are these people so persistent? Is it really worth risking their lives for a single treasure?"

  "Every time a blessed land appears, it will trigger a decades-long massacre, during which countless cultivators will fall, and many sons of heaven will emerge, their cultivation advancing by leaps and bounds, giving birth to many powerful beings. For cultivators, this is both an opportunity and a calamity."

  Zhao Zhuang looked at the group of cultivators guarding the entrance, these cultivators were not weak and had a strong killing aura around them. In front of them lay many corpses of other cultivators, it was clear that they had just robbed a batch of scattered cultivators who wanted to leave Funiu Cave Heaven.

  There were still a few scattered cultivators who persisted in their bitter struggle under the siege of several people.

  Zhao Zhuo fell from the air and saw the scene in front of him, frowning involuntarily. He walked up step by step, among dozens of robbers, a cultivator who had reached the middle stage of Returning to One period sneered: "Hand over all the treasures on your body, and I can spare your life, otherwise..."

  Zhao Duo coldly snorted and said: "What a big tone, what else can you do?"

  The monk's face was covered with a sinister aura, and he smiled gloomily: "Since you don't know how to behave, then you can stay here forever."

  Two Qi Refining stage cultivators of the Returning to One sect rushed towards Zhao Cheng with a ferocious smile, and just by looking at the thick bloody aura on their bodies, it was clear that their hands were stained with fresh blood.

  Zhao Duo has also killed people, but he kills with a clear conscience and asks himself if he has done it right. However, these people rob and kill, which is what Zhao Duo despises the most.

  Nine Heaven-killing swords shot out, and two Return-to-Oneness stage cultivators were turned into minced meat by the Nine Heavens Sword Formation before they could even react. Neither their Dharma Bodies nor their Ancestral Spirits had time to fly out.

  Above the North Mi's head floated the giant Nine Heavens Sword Scabbard, while above Zhao Chu's head floated the Nine Sons Ghost Mother Yin Yang Sword. Coldly, he said: "If you want to kill me, first ask my treasured sword for its opinion."

  Wan Long's eyebrows involuntarily furrowed, his eyes gleaming with a sharp light as he stared at Zhao Zhuo: "You... you're Zhao Zhuo?"

  Zhao Duo coldly snorted and said: "I am Zhao Duo, what's with all the nonsense? If you want to fight or kill, come on over!"

  Wan Long suppressed the anger in his heart and forced a difficult smile, saying: "I thought it was who, turns out it's Zhao Zhuo Dao friend ah, since it's Zhao Zhuo Dao friend, then Wan Long will give Dao friend a thin face, if Dao friend wants to leave, then please do so"

  Wan Long turned sideways and gestured for the people behind him to make way.

  When Wan Long let the way, although many people did not understand why Wan Long was so, they were intimidated by Wan Long's evil name and no one dared to ask why, and they all gave way.

  "Oh no, Zhao Shuo, you little scoundrel, come and help me quickly, or else your uncle is done for"

  Just as Zhao Zhuo frowned, a loud shout came, and when he looked around, he saw Gu Yong being surrounded by two Divine Transformation stage cultivators, his body covered in wounds.

  A sword light flashed, and the two cultivators who were besieging Gu Yong were beheaded by Zhao Zhuo on the spot. Gu Yong fled to Zhao Zhuo's side in disarray, his face pale.

  Zhao Duo hastily gave the Zhuangyuan Dan to Gu Yong, who took it and saw his complexion improve slightly, and the bleeding from his wounds also stopped.

  "Uncle, what's going on? How did you end up being blocked here too?"

  Zhao Duo looked at Gu Yu with curiosity, greatly surprised in his heart. It had only been a short while since they last met, and yet Gu Yu's cultivation had already advanced to the middle stage of the Divine Path. Compared to before, it was like heaven and earth apart. Clearly, he must have obtained some kind of opportunity within the Caverns of the Heavens.

  Gu Yong smiled wryly and said, "What else could it be? I accidentally got a few Broken Boundary Fruits. These people want to rob me, can I just give them to them?"

  "Big explosion is ongoing, subscribed brothers, Hua Hua should have come out by now, please burst out, target hit the top ten of Fresh Flower, one person one flower is not a small amount of flowers!"
