Bachelor [EN]: Chapter 911

“It’s unique, but not something of great use to us. It’s not like we don’t have better surveillance magic tools than this.”

The fish-eyed race sneered and used a dark blue aura to instantly freeze the Myriad Dragon Pearl.

*Crack!*

The bead shattered into pieces and disappeared.

“Brother Gan is right. There are flaws everywhere. But isn’t this proof that the Bi Ling race’s alchemy is more advanced than what’s known? It seems that what we know isn’t entirely true.”

The horned young man calmly stated his opinion.

“Oh, listening to Brother Su, it seems we should capture the one who uses this and interrogate them.”

The fish-eyed race rolled his eyes and smiled slyly.

“That’s enough. We came this time to negotiate with the Bi Ling race, not to declare war. We can learn about their alchemy gradually, so it’s best not to do anything unnecessary.

Judging by this person’s cultivation, if they are a disciple or family member of a Bi Ling race old monster, we might ruin our important mission. Besides, we have more urgent matters at hand.”

The horned young man stared at the black mist with greedy eyes.

“Haha, that’s a valid point. It’s foolish that they left such precious True Spirit Yin Qi [a type of potent spiritual energy] unattended; we’ll benefit from it.”

“Even if ordinary Bi Ling people don’t know, some old monsters must know the use of this mist. So, we must be careful. Frankly, if it wasn’t urgent, we wouldn’t have done something so reckless here before our mission.”

“Hehe, Brother Min! Are you afraid that the Bi Ling people will attack us? We came this time representing both races to visit the Bi Ling race. Unless the Bi Ling race old monsters are crazy enough to annihilate both races, they won’t do anything to us. Even if we take the True Spirit Yin Qi, they can’t do anything about it.”

“Maybe so. Anyway, I don’t know if it’s good luck or bad luck that we crossed the Great Ocean to come here. Originally, even after finding the place where the Profound Heaven Slashing Spirit Sword [a legendary powerful sword] appeared and performing a blood sacrifice, we couldn’t summon the Profound Heaven treasure. If the great priest in the clan hadn’t made another prediction, we wouldn’t have known that it had been moved to the Bi Ling people’s territory. It’s strange.

Could it be that the Profound Heaven Slashing Spirit Sword has fallen into the hands of the Bi Ling people?”

The horned young man sighed.

“Perhaps. Or maybe some weak races deliberately sent people to move the Profound Heaven treasure from its original location to the Bi Ling race’s territory. But it doesn’t make much difference to us.”

“That’s right. The two races combined their strength and spent a huge amount of spirit stones [currency used by cultivators] to teleport us to this continent, so we absolutely cannot let the Profound Heaven Slashing Spirit Sword fall into the hands of another race. If it were another treasure, it might be different, but the Profound Heaven Slashing Spirit Sword is a treasure that made it onto the Chaos Myriad Spirit Board [a ranking of powerful artifacts] as soon as it appeared in the world. If any race on the Heavenly Origin Continent dares to hide this sword and not offer it to us, they will be annihilated by the allied forces of both races. Although the Bi Ling race has established a force on the Heavenly Origin Continent, they are no match for our two races. If we weren’t separated by the Great Ocean, we wouldn’t have come here with such courtesy.”

The horned young man’s eyes flashed coldly, revealing his killing intent.

“Even if Brother Su’s Horned Chi Clan and our Sea King Clan move only one-tenth of our forces, annihilating the Bi Ling race would be simple, but the problem is that if we move such a long distance, we don’t know what the surrounding races might do. So, the best way is for the Bi Ling race to obediently follow our orders.”

“That’s enough talk. Since neither of us can give up the True Spirit Yin Qi, let’s move quickly. After that, we need to hurry to meet the Bi Ling race old monsters.”

“Hahaha! Brother Min, let’s do as you say.”

The fish-eyed race burst into laughter and clasped his hands together. Then, a dark blue wave rose from his entire body, gradually spreading and covering the sky. The light of spirit energy flickered, and the calm dark blue ripples surged violently.

The fish-eyed race opened his mouth and took out a gourd about a few inches in size, shaking it towards the waves.

*Rumble!*

The waves began to swirl around the gourd, and the fish-eyed race was hidden by the dark blue waves.

Watching this from the side, the horned young man grinned and hit the back of his head with one hand.

*Whoosh!*

A sharp sound echoed, and a whirlwind flew above the young man’s head, becoming a vast vortex that soared high into the sky. From the vortex that seemed to pierce the sky, a horned monster with a body of a hundred yards appeared.

The monster had silver horns growing from its head, and it wore blue-green armor, revealing sharp teeth.

Its arms were long and its legs were short, and it held a black blade in one hand and a blue jade bottle in the other.

The monster immediately threw the blue jade bottle into the air. Then, a phantom identical to the jade bottle appeared, growing in size and tilting towards the black mist.

At the same time, something amazing happened in the dark blue waves. A huge pillar of light erupted from the center of the dark blue waves, and the waves surged greatly. Then, a large dark blue gourd floated up, spinning and opening its mouth towards the Black Nether Mist.

*Thump! Thump!*

The two races successively threw magic seals into their treasures. From the jade bottle, a thick blue pillar of light flowed out, and from the gourd, a dark blue aura flowed out. The moment the pillar of light and the dark blue aura penetrated the black mist, the Black Nether Mist surged and gathered.

The black mist, split into two streams, was gradually sucked into the two containers. The two treasures were incredibly fast at absorbing the black mist, and they continued without hesitation even while absorbing a large amount of black energy.

The amount of black mist the two treasures were absorbing was astonishing, but the vastness of the Black Nether Mist was even more impressive.

They waited for two days and nights, but they had only gathered a few dozen parts of the Black Nether Mist. It seemed it would take one or two months to completely absorb the entire Black Nether Mist.

However, the two races were not impatient and continued to gather the black mist.

While they were gathering the black mist, Han Li observed them from afar, biding his time.

How could he cultivate in peace while they were staying here! It would be good if they gathered enough Black Nether Mist and left, but there was also the possibility that they had other intentions.

So, he decided to wait for the right moment rather than acting rashly. Of course, he had already retrieved almost all the items from his residence.

Except for the Golden Thunder Bamboo, where the 72 flying swords were sealed, all the other items were placed in the Demonic Treasure Table, preparing for any eventuality.

Another day passed, and the two races used secret techniques to double the size of their containers and began to gather the black mist at a faster rate. In addition, they used other secret techniques to increase the number of streams of black mist flying towards them from two to a dozen.

As a result, the speed of gathering the black mist increased significantly. The fish-eyed race, who had been watching the progress, chuckled and turned to look at the horned young man.

“Brother Min, judging by the speed of our Yuan Gathering Technique [a technique to gather spiritual energy], we should be able to collect all the True Spirit Yin Qi here in ten days.”

The young man smiled and was about to answer when his expression suddenly changed.

*Kee ha haak!*

A furious cry was heard from the distant black mist.

*Boom boom boom!*

As the cry was heard, the black mist that had been pouring into the gourd and jade bottle burst out as if attacked by an invisible force.

No matter how hard the blue pillar of light and the dark blue aura tried to stir the black mist, it remained tightly bound together and did not budge. Seeing this, the expressions of the horned young man and the fish-eyed race became serious.

The cry grew louder, and something was flying towards them at high speed from deep within the mist.

“Could it be that?”

“Probably!”

The horned young man immediately understood the fish-eyed race’s question and frowned.

“I wondered why the Heavenly Peng people left the True Spirit Yin Qi alone, and it was because of that. They have always worshiped avian true spirits like gods, so it’s likely that this is also the remains of an avian true spirit.”

“That’s highly likely. The problem is that we don’t know how far it has evolved. If it has evolved to the end, we should run away right now.”

The horned young man sighed at the fish-eyed race’s words.

“That’s right! If we get eaten by something like that, our primordial spirit and soul will be destroyed, and we won’t even be able to reincarnate.”

The horned young man didn’t respond to the fish-eyed race’s words and immediately formed a hand seal, pointing at the huge jade bottle shadow.

*Pop.*

The jade bottle shadow burst like a bubble, turning into a blue light that fell into the young man’s hand. The jade bottle had returned to its original form. At this, the fish-eyed race also quickly reduced the gourd and put it in his hand.

After that, the two races stood shoulder to shoulder, silently watching the direction from which the cry was coming. The sound was coming from not far away, but it was a full quarter of an hour before a whirlwind blew out of the mist and a white shadow emerged.

A vast object, hundreds of yards in size, exuding a strong fishy smell from its entire body, glared at the two cultivators from the boundary of the black mist.

It was surprisingly a white bone monster bird with nine heads. The two eyes on each head flickered with green ghost flames, and its vast body was surrounded by black yin energy, writhing. Just looking at it made one feel ominous.

“Nine-Headed Bird, to think that what was hidden here was the remains of such a ferocious bird!”

The fish-eyed race, who recognized the white bone monster bird at a glance, shouted in surprise.

“Fortunately, it hasn’t fully evolved yet and isn’t a Nine Nether Corpse [a powerful undead creature]. It’s at a similar level to us. The only thing that’s concerning is how much of the Nine-Headed Bird’s ferocious killing aura remains, and if more than half remains, we need to run away quickly.”

Fear was evident in the horned young man’s eyes, but his voice was very calm.

“We’ll know if we attack it! Brother Min, can you just leave the True Spirit Yin Qi like this?”

“Of course, it’s a waste. It’s something we urgently need to learn our cultivation techniques. Then, let’s deal with it for now.”

The horned young man raised his eyebrows and answered resolutely. At that moment, the middle head of the monster bird raised its head and wailed mournfully, and the other eight heads opened their mouths at the same time.

*Crash! Boom! Rumble! Whoosh!*

An enormous sound was heard, and attacks such as fireballs, wind blades, ice spikes, and lightning rushed in at once, covering the sky. However, the horned young man and the fish-eyed race did not waver even after seeing that.

“I’ll do it.”

The fish-eyed race shouted and formed a hand seal, boosting his dark blue aura. Then, with one hand, he shot out a dark blue beam of light towards the attacks flying towards them.

At first, the thin beam of light cut through the sky and spread out widely, enveloping them in a blue light curtain. Then, the light curtain shone brightly and turned into a thick dark blue ice barrier.

At that moment, all the attacks poured down like a torrential rain on the dark blue ice barrier, and explosions erupted one after another. Colorful lights covered the area.

The Nine-Headed Bird’s white bones chirped and became triumphant. However, the other heads did not stop attacking for a moment and increased their power even more than before.

*Thud.*

But then, a snort was heard, and a deep dark blue light pierced through the colorful lights.

The dark blue light flickered and spread out to a range of about a hundred yards around with a mysterious speed. Wherever the dark blue light touched, the space was vaguely distorted, and any attack that reached that area disappeared without a sound.

Within it, the fish-eyed race’s chanting continued incessantly.

The dark blue light spun in the air and shot towards the huge white bone monster bird. Its speed was so fast that it reached the monster bird’s vicinity in an instant.”
