Chapter 181: Grasping with Hands

like a spiderweb, spread from his heart outward, instantly engulfing his entire body. Even his face was covered in these sinister markings, making him look ferocious and terrifying.But his figure was...On the fourth sacred mountain, in front of an exquisitely built attic, Xia Fairy stood there quietly waiting. After a while, a savage man with a giant axe on his back walked out from inside the attic.

Xia Shimei's little sister, a wild man, smiled as he came before Xia Xianzi.

"Brother Sān Fǔ, this time I'll leave it to you," Xia Xiǎnzi said.

"Junior sister, rest assured. That Lei Xin domain is different from our Qing Xuan domain. There are no top forces inside, and there aren't too many strong cultivators."

“And the most important thing about the Jiuzhuan Shenglian are those nine lotus seeds. Even if people fight over it, they're all after those seeds. But what you want, Junior Sister, is the mature Shenglian itself. By then, there shouldn't be anyone fighting with you for it. With my help, I will definitely get that Shenglian for you,” said the savage man, the Three Axes Venerable.

Then, I'll leave it to you, Senior Brother. Xia Xianzi also smiled and was very confident in her third-axe Senior Brother.

The Venerable Sanshou, among the many Nirvana Venerables of Jiusheng Mountain, was easily among the top three strongest. In terms of strength, he was slightly stronger than the Blood Jade Demon Venerable who went to the Fourth Realm to rescue Su Xin back then.

And he is also qualified to be on that list of Eastern Desolate Venerables, although his ranking is lower, his strength is unquestionable.

This time, she specifically asked San Axe Venerable to make a move because the Nine Turns Holy Lotus was too beneficial for her own physique. She had to get it, and this Nine Turns Holy Lotus itself was harder to find than those lotus seeds.

Although lotus seeds are more versatile and precious, at least they can be preserved. As long as you keep searching, there's a chance to get them. But the sacred lotus, once it matures within ten days, will wither and completely lose its effect, making it impossible to preserve.

Now it's rare to encounter a Nine Turns Holy Lotus about to mature. This summer fairy naturally wants to seize this opportunity well.

"Time waits for no one, Xia Shimei. Let's set off now," said the Venerable Three Axes.

Haoxianzi nodded.

The two of them also quickly left Jiusheng Mountain and headed for the Leixin Domain.

……

The Lei Xin Region, one of the twenty-two regions in the Eastern Wasteland, is not inferior to the Qingxuan Region in terms of territorial area. However, it is the only region among the twenty-two regions in the Eastern Wasteland that lacks a top-tier force as its ruler.

To be precise, this Leixing Domain was originally also inhabited by top-tier forces. It's only because the former top-tier force declined and perished that no new top-tier force has emerged within this domain.

Although it lacks top-tier powers, the Ley Heart Domain boasts a multitude of sects and factions, large and small. Many are led by Transcendent powerhouses, making its overall strength comparable to other domains.

Moreover, due to the abundance of various powerful factions, the internal struggles and battles within this Leixing domain became even more intense.

Within the Lei Xin domain, there is an ordinary lake called Jingyue Lake. It is just an ordinary small lake near a nearby town, but no one would have thought that such a small lake would actually nurture a treasure like the Nine Turns Holy Lotus.

As the news spread, the area around Jingyue Lake also became extremely lively.

Many powerful individuals, eager to obtain the nine lotus seeds, flocked from all corners. They came not only from within the Lei Xin domain, but also from several bordering regions, having heard news of the opportunity.

"That is the Nine Turns Holy Lotus"

Those who arrive at the vicinity of Jingyue Lake can immediately see in its center, a majestic lotus flower enshrined amidst fiery red lotus leaves. Its dazzling beauty and unique aura are undeniable.

This holy lily is too beautiful and gorgeous.

“It's beautiful, but it's only because the nine lotus seeds on top haven't fully matured yet. Once those nine lotus seeds are fully mature, there will undoubtedly be a frenzied battle for them. By then, who will even care if this sacred lotus is pretty”

"Wait a little while, it should be ready in a few days. This sacred lotus is about to mature."

Powerful figures gathered around Jingyue Lake, discussing things casually.

...But because too many strong contenders arrived, several temporary tea stalls were opened around this Jingyue Lake.

In a tea stall.

"Distinguished guests, I am Qi Luo from the Wan Ying Gate. This tea stall is run by our Wan Ying Gate. If any of you wish to rest here and have some tea, we, the Wan Ying Gate, naturally welcome you. However, should anyone cause trouble here, or fight with others, damaging property in the process, then the Wan Ying Gate will also have a word or two with them." A purple-clad woman smiled as she spoke.

"Ten Thousand Shadows Gate"

A commotion arose within the tea stall.

The Wan Ying Gate is a sect with thousands of years of history and deep foundations within the Lei Xin Domain. This sect currently has several Transcendent Realm experts, making it one of the most powerful sects in the Lei Xin Domain. Naturally, few dare to provoke them.

No wonder they dare to set up a tea stall around this quiet moon lake, it turns out that there's a powerful sect backing them.

In a corner of the tea stall, a cold and stern young man with a sword on his back sat alone drinking tea. This cold and stern youth was naturally Su Xin.

"This Wan Ying Gate purposely opened a tea stall around Jingyue Lake. They probably aren't just doing it for profit, there must be other uses as well," Su Xin smiled faintly. "However, speaking of which, the strong individuals attracted by this Nine Turns Sacred Lotus are indeed numerous."

Su Xin looked around. In this tea stall alone, nearly a hundred powerful figures had gathered. The aura emanating from these powerhouses was particularly formidable. The weakest among them were at the three-step or four-step level of Nirvana Realm, and there were also some Nirvana Venerables above the five-step level.

Even the Six Steps Venerable, who created a unique and powerful technique, had one or two disciples among them who were not truly devoted.

As for outside the tea stall, there were even more powerful individuals.

Although the Nine Turns Sacred Lotus seeds are precious and have many uses, it shouldn't attract so many powerful beings to fight over them specifically. Su Xin thought secretly, "Most of these powerful beings gathered around Jingyue Lake probably came here just for the excitement."

He was well aware that the Nine Turn Sacred Lotus seeds were precious, there was no doubt about it. But their use was greatest and most coveted by those who had cultivated powerful fleshly arts.

For example, Su Xin himself was quite eager to cultivate the second layer of the Indestructible Secret Art.

But for ordinary Nirvana Lords who have not cultivated flesh-refining techniques, although obtaining a lotus seed can greatly enhance their physical bodies, comparable to powerful treasures, it is not enough to make them frantically fight for their lives.

Just then...

Clack clack clack!!

Three burly figures walked into the tea stall in a row, making heavy footsteps. The floor of the tea stall vibrated under their steps.

Everyone inside the teahouse turned to look at the three of them.

These three individuals, each with physiques as sturdy as brown bears, possessed dark skin that emanated a menacing aura. A faint golden hue shimmered across their surfaces, revealing they had cultivated incredibly powerful body refinement techniques.

"They are the Three Great Bone Kings of Gushengzong!"

"It was them..."

These three Bone Kings are said to have cultivated the *Golden God* secret art within the Bone God Sect to an extremely high level. Their physical bodies can rival those of high-grade divine artifacts, and their individual strengths are also incredibly powerful. They are all formidable Six-Step Venerables. I didn't expect that for the sake of the Nine Turns Sacred Lotus seed, all three Bone Kings would arrive simultaneously!

"Normal, it is said that the Golden Body secret art needs nine-turn Holy Lotus seeds to cultivate to a higher level. Of course they desire to obtain them.

Inside the tea stall, people were whispering to each other.

Su Xin, who had been silently sipping tea, also raised his head to glance at the three Bone Kings.

Before he came to the Leixin Domain, he had deliberately collected some information about the Leixin Domain. Naturally, he also knew about the might of the Gu Shenzong and the three great Bone Kings, but Su Xin didn't care much. He just glanced up briefly before looking away.

When the three Bone Kings entered the tea stall, they found a place to sit down. The leading Bone King glanced around and sneered, "How come even cultivators of the third and fourth stage of Nirvana realm are here in such numbers Are you all also going to fight for the Saint Lotus seeds Hmph, do you all want to die"

The first Bone King's voice was loud, booming throughout the entire tea stall.

Many cultivators at the San-bu and Si-bu Nirvana Realms gathered in the tea stall, their faces looking grim upon hearing this. However, due to the strength of these three Bone Kings, no one dared to say anything more.

"Interesting," Su Xin only smiled faintly, but remained silent as well.

But soon after the three Bone Kings entered the tea stall, another man in silver robes carrying a battle knife came out.

As soon as this silver-robed man entered the tea stall, he saw a lone figure sitting in the corner. His eyes instantly turned bloodshot.

"The old fox, I finally found you!"

"Death to them!!"

A furious shout erupted, and this man in silver robes instantly unsheathed his sword, unleashing a terrifying killing intent that spread throughout the air.

"Didn't he just directly take action"

"This tea stall is run by the Wan Ying Sect, isn't it"

Everyone at the tea stall was startled.

The woman in purple from the Wan Ying Gate, named Kira, also changed her expression and flickered to block the silver-robed man.

"

Get out of here!

"

The silver-robed man roared in anger, but instead of engaging the woman in purple, he transformed into a silver phantom and swept past her.

Subsequently, the war saber in his hand instantly slashed out, a menacing blade of light, slashing straight down. The terrifying aura made the entire tea stall tremble.

"What impressive footwork..."

"He is the Venerable Five-Step Nirvana, and his strength is also extremely powerful!"

Everyone at the tea stall immediately sensed the power of this man in silver robes.

And the silver-robed man's bladelight caused the sword-browed old man to be greatly alarmed, but fortunately, the purple-clothed woman intervened at the first moment. He reacted quickly and hurriedly dodged out of the way.

The silver-robed man's blade did not strike the sword-browed elder, but instead cut straight towards the cold and stern young man at the table in front of him.

"Not good!" The man in silver robes' face changed.

He only wanted to kill the old man with the sword brows, but he didn't want to harm anyone else.

But his sword was already drawn, and at such close range, there was no time to retract it.

The peak of the Four Steps, he who carries a sword, is about to fall out of favor. All those gathered in the tea stall couldn't help but think upon seeing this scene.

However, just as the blade was about to strike the opponent...

The cold and aloof young man, who had been sitting there silently sipping tea, suddenly shot out his hand like lightning.

"Bang!"

A metallic clang echoed.

The silver-robed man's battle saber halted mid-air, and the very edge of its blade was firmly gripped by a pale hand, frozen in place.

"How is that possible"

The silver-robed man glared.

And the entire tea stall fell silent instantly, a pin could be heard dropping.
