Volume 1 Chapter 133: Divine Ability Not as Good as a Dog's

  When they saw Zhao Zhuo, they didn't immediately shout and kill. The woman with the highest cultivation in the group gathered her courage and stepped forward: "Su Ying has seen Senior, I don't know what business Senior has for stopping us?"

  "Senior?"

  Zhao Duan was taken aback, rubbing his nose with his hand. He was only in his thirties, yet his cultivation had already reached the initial stage of Unity Return. Which cultivator in the Unity Return period hadn't lived for tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years? He could be called a senior, but he wasn't that kind of old monster.

  However, Zhao Zhuo didn't bother to explain. Words that are spoken out loud may not be believed by many people, and might even attract unwanted attention from others. As the saying goes, "A tall tree in the forest will be blown down by the wind." Zhao Zhuo didn't want to be a target.

  With an air of seniority, Zhao Zhuo said in a deep voice, "I see you're all in such a hurry, what's the meaning of this?"

  Su Ying let out a breath of relief and stole a glance at Zhao Zhuo, saying in a low voice: "Does senior not know?"

  "What do I know?" Zhao Duo said in confusion.

  Su Ying said, "Just two days ago, someone suddenly spread the rumor that two young Azure Luan birds were found on the Shocking Heaven Tree. Now all cultivators who can hurry over are rushing to the place where the Shocking Heaven Tree is located. Perhaps senior hasn't heard this news yet."

  Zhao Duo's eyes lit up, and he muttered to himself: "Hmm, I didn't expect a young Qing Luan bird to actually appear. The Qing Luan Law Body, who wouldn't be moved by it?"

  Coming back to his senses, Zhao Zhuo looked at Su Ying and the others and said: "You should also want to join in on the fun, but since we've met by chance, I advise you not to go. At this moment, that place has probably become a den of dragons and tigers. With your current cultivation level, if you go there, you won't even know how you died."

  As he spoke, Zhao Zhuo released the aura on his body, and the powerful aura of Returning to One immediately suppressed Su Ying and others, pressing them to the ground, motionless. Even several cultivators were knocked unconscious by the aura in an instant.

  Zhao Zhuo knew that all those who cultivated had a proud air in their hearts, and they always thought they were no worse than others. For these people, Zhao Zhuo knew his words might not be listened to, but the pressure of his aura could shatter their pride, making them understand how formidable a true strongman was. In this way, unless they were fools, these people wouldn't foolishly go to their deaths.

  After Zhao Zhuo left, Su Ying and the others woke up from that terrifying pressure, but everyone's face was still filled with shock and disbelieving expressions.

  Only to see Su Ying's eyes flashing with a yearning expression, muttering to herself: "So powerful, is this the strength of the Return to One stage? It seems that our cultivation is really nothing."

  After witnessing Zhao Zhuo's strength, Su Ying and the others no longer dared to be arrogant and presumptuous. No matter who they met, they maintained a respectful attitude as much as possible. As a result, they were able to safely persist until the end. Not only that, but they also found some rare treasures and became one of the few teams that could leave Funiu Cave Heaven safely and smoothly.

  Zhao Duo didn't know the impact of his unintentional actions and instead rushed in the direction where the astonishing tree was located.

  After obtaining the Qing Luan egg on the top of Jing Tian Mu, Zhao Shuo and Bai Jingjian came down from Jing Tian Mu, but they didn't expect that not long after, someone would discover the young of the Qing Luan bird on it.

  The Qing Luan law phase is not much different from the Kun Peng law phase, and it can be seen that the struggle for the young chicks of the Qing Luan bird will be so fierce.

  On the way, Zhao Zhuo adapted to the improved cultivation that came up, thinking about whether there was an opportunity to snatch a young cygnus bird.

  Qing Luan Fa Xiang, even if I don't use it to cultivate myself, it's fine to give it to Zhao Luan or Jing Qingyi later.

  Not even close to the Shocking Tree, a strong aura of death had already pierced through the clouds from above the Shocking Tree. Zhao Xiao couldn't help but exclaim: "Good grief, how many people must have died to form such a thick aura of death?"

  That shocking aura is something that people with poor cultivation can't even sense, and the higher one's cultivation, the clearer they can feel it.

  Zhao Duo's eyebrows furrowed together, and just by looking at the soaring evil energy, he knew that at this moment, the top of the Shocking Wood had probably become a deadly whirlpool. People who went in would be almost certainly dead, unless their cultivation was extremely strong, or they were incredibly lucky to the point of defying heaven.

  Even Zhao Cheng was hesitant, after all, he wasn't arrogant, and in his heart, he knew that his current strength was far from enough. If he were to encounter a true master, he would be no match at all. Any ordinary cultivator of the Unity stage who put in some effort could easily kill him.

  With a bitter smile at the corner of his mouth, Zhao Shuo whispered: "Confidence is not equal to arrogance, I really don't know if these people are in a hurry to reincarnate or what, do they not know that this trip is equivalent to stepping halfway into the ghost gate?"

  Looking at the occasional group of people entering the shocking wood, Zhao Zhuo couldn't help but sigh repeatedly.

  A group of people flew past Zhao Zhuo's side, and the leading man among them shouted: "Fellow Taoist, a young phoenix has been born on the Shocking Wood, why don't you hurry up and go, what are you doing here in a daze?"

  Zhao Duo swept his eyes and found that the overall strength of this team was not bad, at least their cultivation had reached the Divine Transformation stage, but there was no top expert who could calm the scene, not even a single cultivator in the Return to One stage.

  Such a group of people would be fine if they didn't encounter an expert, otherwise, even if Zhao Zhuang wanted to kill these people, it wouldn't take much effort.

  With a faint smile, Zhao Zhuo glanced at the astonishing wood and said: "That's not a good place, it's easy to get in, but it's hard to get out"

  They were stunned for a moment, and then a group of people reacted, only to hear one person laugh loudly: "We are the kind of people who do things against heaven, it's just a matter of life or death. We've already left our dharma bodies outside, at most we'll lose our true body or dharma body. Besides, such an opportunity has arisen, if we don't seize it now, when will we?"

  Zhao Duo was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly clapped his hands and laughed loudly: "Good, well said! If not now, when? Just for this sentence alone, if possible, I will ensure your safety."

  After saying that, Zhao Zhuo suddenly appeared on the Jing Tian Mu, and the Jing Tian Mu in front of Zhao Zhuo was no longer the one he had seen before. It's unknown what kind of tragic battle took place here, but countless branches of the enormous Jing Tian Mu were broken.

  If the previous Shocking Wood was like a continent, then the current Shocking Wood that had been destroyed was like a small island.

  In the center of the small island were several dull-plumed kingfishers, two of which had chicks that attracted everyone's attention.

  These are nothing, but what makes Zhao Zhuang's heart ache is the countless corpses of cultivators all around him. Many cultivators have died in battle, and magical instruments and spiritual instruments can be seen everywhere. Countless cultivators have even fought each other to death over these treasures, only to lose their own lives, and their own magic weapons have become a part of the earth.

  Zhao Zhuo couldn't help but sigh, it had only been a short while, and the number of cultivators who had died in battle was probably not less than tens of thousands. Some cultivators' bodies still hadn't fully dissipated their aura after death, and they were actually Return to Unity stage cultivators.

  Zhao Zhuo felt a chill in his heart. What kind of tragic situation would it take for all the cultivators at the Return to Unity stage to fall here? He had thought that once he reached the Return to Unity stage, he could barely protect himself, but now it seemed that even the Return to Unity stage was not safe. Who knows when he might lose his life like the cultivators who fell here.

  One word: chaos; two words: tragic.

  Fortunately, the vast majority of cultivators gave up their intention to fight for the young Qing Luan bird after seeing the strength of the Jiyuan period powerhouse, and instead turned their attention to the lost treasures on the battlefield.

  As a result, many cultivators began to fight each other fiercely. When Zhao Zhuo was stunned, the group of people from earlier also appeared on the battlefield. Upon seeing the numerous ownerless magical artifacts on the ground, it's likely that not many cultivators could remain calm.

  Zhao Zhuo watched as the others rushed into the killing field to fight for the treasure, and he slightly shook his head. Although their cultivation was not weak, there were few weaklings in this killing field, and a slight carelessness would cost them their lives.

  Even Zhao Zhuang didn't dare say he could keep his life intact in this chaotic battle filled with killing intent.

  Sure, here is the translation:

  As expected, it wasn't long before Zhao Zhuo saw someone get injured. Remembering what he had said earlier, Zhao Zhuo suddenly appeared in the killing field, his fierce aura overwhelming everyone. Using the seven-colored tail feathers of the Qing Luan bird he had obtained earlier, Zhao Zhuo swept up the crowd and charged out of the killing field.

  Looking at the disheveled group of people on the ground, Zhao Zhuo said: "This is not a place you should come to, it's better to leave"

  After saying this, Zhao Zhuo ignored these people and walked towards the group of cultivators who surrounded the Qingluan bird.

  Although it can't be said to be densely packed, at a glance there are actually no less than several thousand people. What makes Zhao Zhuo's scalp feel numb is that among so many cultivators, the most cultivated ones are also in the early stages of the Unity period, and even strong ones who have reached the Unity period's Great Perfection exist, and there's not just one person like that.

  Zhao Duo couldn't help but feel an urge to curse loudly, normally he hadn't seen so many strong people appear at the same time, how did they suddenly emerge in such large numbers.

  It's not surprising that Zhao Zhuo was shocked, after all, he had been staying in the remote and isolated city of Wang Hai, where he couldn't see any strong practitioners. Later, he unfortunately entered the Death Island, where he saw some Return to One stage cultivators, but their strength seemed mediocre. Although the power of Chong Xiao Sect later made Zhao Zhuo aware of the strength of Return to One stage cultivators, there were only a few hundred such cultivators in the entire sect after accumulating for tens of thousands of years. But now, suddenly, there are thousands of Return to One stage cultivators appearing, among whom are even those who have reached the Great Perfection realm of Return to One stage. How could this not shock Zhao Zhuo, who had just broken through to the initial stage of Return to One and thought he had the ability to protect himself?

  Zhao's cultivation was only at the initial stage of returning to one, and among so many cultivators, he was absolutely the most inconspicuous existence. So even if Zhao walked over, not many cultivators would give him a second glance. After all, Zhao's cultivation didn't enter their eyes, that bit of cultivation was just enough to join in the excitement, but wanting to compete with them for the Qing Luan bird was absolutely impossible.

  It's fortunate that not many people paid attention to Zhao Zhuo, so even the people from Chong Xiao Sect didn't focus on him either. Otherwise, who knows if Luo Kai Shan would have directly killed Zhao Zhuo on the spot after discovering him.

  Just as Zhao Zhuo's heart was filled with shock, he heard Bai Jing's voice say: "What's wrong, are you scared?"

  It's clear that Bai Jingjing also noticed the situation outside from within the treasure tower, and even guessed Zhao Zhuo's psychological changes to a certain extent.

  Zhao Duo's mouth twitched into a bitter smile as he transmitted his voice, "You also saw it, this is too ridiculous, isn't it? Suddenly gathering so many powerful people, does anyone still want to live? I thought that once my cultivation reached the Unity Realm, at least I would have the ability to protect myself. Who knew that now, in comparison, nothing seems to be enough."

  After hearing Zhao Zhuo's words, Bai Jing couldn't help but say: "You shouldn't be too self-deprecating either. Don't you think about how long you've been cultivating? These people have cultivated for tens of thousands of years, and compared to them, it should be them who are ashamed."

  After hearing Bai Zhi's words, Zhao Zhuo's mood improved a lot, and he chuckled: "Indeed my good wife, after you said that, I think these people are not that impressive either."

  Seeing Zhao Zhuo's knot untied, Bai Jingjing let out a slight sigh and said: "With so many powerful people around now, it's unlikely that we can snatch the Qing Luan bird. You must not intervene, otherwise with so many strong people here, even if you want to run away, you won't be able to escape."

  "Don't worry, I know what's at stake."

  With Zhao Zhuo's guarantee, Bai Jingchu put his mind at ease and devoted himself to cultivation. However, Zhao Zhuo didn't do as he said, a surge of arrogance rose in his heart, looking at those powerful cultivators who were indifferent to him, the corner of his mouth revealed a cold smile, secretly thinking: "Even if I don't get the Qing Luan bird in the end, no one will have it easy, at most, we'll all scatter after a big fight!"

  It's not that there aren't many cultivators who share Zhao Zhuo's thoughts at this moment, even though his idea is somewhat unorthodox.

  Although there are thousands of practitioners, if you observe carefully, you will find that these thousands of practitioners can be divided into several parts.

  Among them, dozens or even hundreds of cultivators gathered together, and without looking, it was clear that these cultivators belonged to some powerful sects or ancient aristocratic families.

  More than a dozen sects and aristocratic families' powers suddenly occupied about 40% of the cultivators present, leaving behind a rather chaotic group of scattered cultivators.

  It has to be said that the power of individual cultivators is actually still very strong, but unfortunately, because they are individual cultivators, this powerful force at this time seems insignificant. Perhaps among individual cultivators, a few people can form a group due to friendship, but it's impossible to gather more than ten people into a team. As a result, the strongest side has become the weakest side.

  "The big explosion is ongoing, subscribed brothers, Hua Hua should be out by now, please rush out, the goal is to hit the top ten of Fresh Flower, one person with one flower is not a small number of flowers!"
