Eternal Life as False Emperor
Chapter 335 - 300: The Second Martial God
"Martial God...!"
Inside the Yin Yang Treasure Mirror Fragment, Zheng Yi retracted his Divine Thought and murmured softly.
He didn’t expect that Chen Hu, like Xu Mujun, was actually a Martial Artist of the Martial God Realm!
Even though the power was very faint, he still clearly felt it.
Martial Dao Will!
Chen Hu... also awakened the Martial Dao Will and advanced to Martial God!
"Truly cultivators... Even in such dire straits, they can continuously break through and advance to Martial God."
"And... what is the plan they three mentioned?"
"Do they want to leave Spiritless Island?"
"They’ve allied with the other two biggest forces on this island for action, and they need a lot of cannon fodder for this..."
Zheng Yi thought to himself: "It seems Spiritless Island is becoming restless... but this is just my opportunity!"
He spread out his Divine Thought, placing it on Zhang Shaoyang.
At this moment, Zhang Shaoyang had been assigned a hoe and seeds, told to follow an old man to farm.
Other cultivators were given machetes and led by the old man to cut trees in the forest.
Some were assigned to slaughter work, to butcher the corpses of Desolate Beasts.
A day’s labor, and Zhang Shaoyang didn’t feel particularly tired.
After all, as a cultivator, his constitution was much stronger compared to ordinary people.
The sky was getting dark. After a simple meal, he returned to his makeshift tent.
Listening to the breathing and low discussions of the people around him, Zhang Shaoyang also closed his eyes to rest, yet his heart couldn’t calm down.
"I must leave here!"
"Spiritless Island is not my place of belonging!"
"Gao Meijing said she would come to find me... but I can’t just rely on her."
"I have other ways...!"
His right hand clenched tightly around the Yin Yang Treasure Mirror Fragment.
This was his confidence.
He tried, finding that his Divine Thought had long been completely exhausted, now unable even to leave the body.
Even so, he was not disheartened but used the moonlight to hold the Yin Yang Treasure Mirror Fragment up to his eyes, examining it carefully.
The Marketplace system was still open.
A multitude of Chaotic level cultivation techniques, Innate Spiritual Treasure level magical treasures, and Heaven and Earth Spiritual Objects were all tempting him, making his eyes light up.
Unfortunately.
A series of ’0’s after the exchange prices were completely beyond his current ability to exchange.
"Can’t exchange, can’t exchange, still can’t exchange!"
After looking for half an hour, his eyes were a bit sore, but he still couldn’t make any exchanges.
Currently, he had no magical power, couldn’t open his storage bag, and couldn’t take out any Spirit Stones.
Moreover, on this Spiritless Island, he couldn’t use Spirit Stones at all.
What should he do? Could it be that he would hold onto this supreme treasure and be trapped here for the rest of his life? 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
His eyes were filled with despair, but he quickly thought of something, exited the exchange menu, and then opened the task interface.
On the current task interface, there was only one task.
[Challenge Task: Guiyun Wanderer’s covetous eyes on you haven’t faded. Either kill him yourself or wait to die at his hands.]
[Task Deadline: One hundred days.]
[Task Reward: One randomly selected top-grade magical artifact.]
The life-and-death task involving the Netherworld Wolf was already completed, and a Golden Core Stage cultivation technique named "Thousand Waves Technique" was quietly lying in his sleeve.
In the past, a Golden Core Stage cultivation technique would have delighted him.
Unfortunately now...
Even a Nascent Soul Stage cultivation technique is not as useful on Spiritless Island as a sickle or a hoe!
"Task, task..."
"If I kill Guiyun Wanderer, I can get a top-grade magical artifact!"
Zhang Shaoyang murmured, "Guiyun Wanderer... he seemingly got sucked onto this Spiritless Island too!"
"Also in Chen Hu’s tribe, reportedly entering the settlement with Chen Hu and Gao Meijing."
"If I can kill Guiyun Wanderer, I can get a top-grade magical artifact."
"A top-grade magical artifact!"
Zhang Shaoyang’s eyes suddenly lit up: "Any top-grade magical artifact contains Spiritual Qi upon birth, which can be activated with a Dharma Seal."
"Although this Spiritual Qi would be swiftly absorbed empty on Spiritless Island, during this time, I could kill everyone else!"
"Some top-grade magical artifacts even have an automatic protective ability, as long as..."
Zhang Shaoyang murmured, "Kill Guiyun Wanderer!!!"
"Hoo..."
He exhaled deeply, finally finding a hope to break the impasse.
He reluctantly glanced at the Yin Yang Treasure Mirror Fragment: "Hmm..."
"There’s another task!"
He thought excitedly and saw a new line of text appear on the Yin Yang Treasure Mirror Fragment.
[Detected that the host is currently in a predicament, the Marketplace has exceptionally opened a special item discount sale targeted at the host’s current predicament.]
[Item 1: Dragon Elephant Pure Yang Skill. Martial Arts Cultivation Technique, a total of twelve levels. Every level of Dragon Elephant Pure Yang Skill mastered increases the strength of one dragon and one elephant. Complete mastery of twelve levels allows entry into the Spirit Communication Realm. Value: one random top-grade magical artifact.]
[Item 2: Golden Core Stage Puppet usable for one quarter of an hour. Value: one Storage Bag (must be intact and unopened in the current world).]
[Item 3: A trace of Innate Qi, originating from primordial times, possessing infinite marvels. Value: one Storage Bag (must be intact and unopened in the current world).]
"Hmm...?"
Zhang Shaoyang’s eyes suddenly brightened.
Dragon Elephant Pure Yang Skill!
Golden Core Stage Puppet for one quarter of an hour!
And... a trace of Innate Spiritual Qi!
These... are exactly what he urgently needs right now!
"A trace of Innate Qi..."
Zhang Shaoyang quickly opened the Marketplace and indeed found the exchange interface for Innate Spiritual Qi.
[Innate Spiritual Qi (a wisp): A wisp of Innate Spiritual Qi, originating from primordial times, possessing infinite marvels. Value, five hundred top-grade Spirit Stones.]
The Marketplace’s Innate Spiritual Qi exchange value is five hundred top-grade Spirit Stones, and it is a wisp.
But the current special discount is only a trace.
And its exchange value is a Storage Bag!
"Current world... could it be that the item has spirit, and this Ancient Mirror Fragment can detect my current predicament?"
Zhang Shaoyang exclaimed excitedly: "Truly a nurturing treasure..."
He steeled his heart, thinking that no matter what, enhancing his current strength was the priority.
With this in mind, he directly took out his Five-colored Smoke and Mist Sword and chose to exchange it!
With a flash of light, the Five-colored Smoke and Mist Sword disappeared, replaced by a very ancient-looking line-bound secret manual.
Dragon Elephant Pure Yang Skill!
He eagerly opened it to examine, and characters no larger than tadpoles appeared before his eyes.
"Inhale as the dragon rises, exhale to the depths of the sea, breath and form unite as one..."
In the dark night, Zhang Shaoyang sat cross-legged, silently reciting the mantra.
After a long while, a faint stream of heat appeared in his meridians, following the circulation path of the Dragon Elephant Pure Yang Skill, starting cultivation.
That night.
Several more people jointly attempted to escape, yet the whole settlement remained silent, as if no one noticed.
The next day, Hea Wang continued to lead people out and soon returned with a few bloody magical artifacts.
Desolate Beasts devoured people but didn’t consume the gold and iron of magical artifacts, profiting Hea Wang and his group.
A few days later, inside the settlement, Gao Meijing suddenly found Zhang Shaoyang.
"Junior Brother Zhang, Senior Sister has a Martial Arts Secret Manual, I wonder if you want to practice it?"
Seeing Zhang Shaoyang’s strange gaze, Gao Meijing smiled faintly: "Spiritless Island cannot sustain Spiritual Qi, but it is possible to convert to practicing martial arts, thereby resisting Desolate Beasts."
"Chen Hu, the major chieftain, is a martial arts expert. Senior Sister happens to have a Martial Arts Secret Manual, so she thought of Junior Brother."
"Junior Brother must not let down Senior Sister’s expectations..."
