บท 151: Chen Xia in the Dead Star
On the periphery of the Heavenly Sword Sea, hundreds of thousands of miles away.
A dead star was pulsating continuously, like the sound of a heartbeat. The dust and ruggedness on its surface had already been smoothed out by the constant pulsation and it no longer looked like a dead star.
Not far away, a ferry was sailing in the star domain. As if with a purpose, it headed straight towards the dead star and stopped in front of it.
Six people got off the ferry one by one. Led by an old man in golden armor, they hovered above this dead star, frowning as they looked around.
"Is this the abnormal activity of the dead star that you observed?" The old man in golden armor asked the people behind him.
A three-eyed boy behind him quickly replied, "I observed it with my Heavenly Eye. As soon as I discovered the abnormality, I immediately informed you, Elder."
"Indeed abnormal." The old man in golden armor nodded. It was the first time he had seen a dead star pulsating like this, as if something alive was brewing inside it.
"Have you guys ever seen such a situation before? It's just like the preparation before farting."
The old man in golden armor asked again, although his words were a bit vulgar.
"There are some records in ancient books." A tall woman in green replied, "When a dead star pulsates before it's about to collapse, it means that a rare treasure is brewing inside. As the pulsation speeds up, the rare treasure is about to be formed!"
"What level of magic weapon is it?" The old man in golden armor became interested. He crossed his arms and asked curiously.
"Judging from the size of the dead star, the rare treasure brewing in this dead star should be at least at the Dao Artifact level. And if it can be called a rare treasure, its supernatural power should be even more overbearing than ordinary Dao Artifacts."
The tall woman in green replied. Her eyes were fixed on the constantly pulsating dead star, and there was anticipation in her tone.
"Good, good, good!" The old man in golden armor said three "good" in a row. Looking at the dead star, his mouth was almost crooked with a smile.
"If there's really a Dao Artifact-level rare treasure inside, I'll definitely give you guys benefits when I get it."
"It's all because of your good leadership, Elder." The three-eyed boy took the opportunity to flatter.
"Haha." The old man in golden armor laughed loudly and turned to look at the boy. "For this treasure hunt, your contribution is the greatest."
The three-eyed boy was overjoyed and quickly clasped his fists to express his gratitude. "It's still because you're so wise, Elder. Otherwise, in such a large star domain, why is it that you, Elder, are the one who got this rare treasure instead of others?"
"Quite right, quite right." The old man in golden armor's face was flushed with excitement. These flattering words were very pleasing to his ears.
The two cultivators behind them looked a bit worried. They frowned and asked.
"If we go a few thousand miles further, it'll be the territory under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Sword Sea. Will it really be okay for us to take the rare treasure right in front of the Heavenly Sword Sea?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the others also began to worry. Their gazes towards the dead star were tinged with a bit of fear.
The old man in golden armor snorted coldly. "What are you afraid of? The Heavenly Sword Sea is far from what it used to be now. In the past few thousand years, it has been harassed by the White Emperor and also has to face the end of the great era."
"They're already having a hard time protecting themselves. How can they have the time to take care of us? I heard that the Sect Master of the Heavenly Sword Sea went into a death seclusion hundreds of years ago, trying to break through to the Great Sage or Quasi-Emperor realm."
"Using his own life to ensure that the Heavenly Sword Sea can survive the end of the great era. The other Great Abilities at the Heaven-Mending Realm also stay behind closed doors to guard against attacks from other major sects and the White Emperor."
The three-eyed boy's eyes lit up, and he looked excited. "So, the Heavenly Sword Sea has no time to take care of us?"
"Of course!" The old man in golden armor nodded firmly and then said confidently, "Now in the Heavenly Sword Sea, it's all some elders at the Sea-Reversing Realm who are taking action. Even if they really come, I'm not afraid!"
"Of course. With your strength at the sixth level of the Sea-Reversing Realm, Elder, you're no worse than those Supreme Seed elders in the Heavenly Sword Sea at all."
The three-eyed boy seized the opportunity and started flattering vigorously.
The tall woman in green beside him also nodded. "For this kind of Dao Artifact-level rare treasure, from the perspective of the Heavenly Sword Sea, they might not necessarily take a fancy to it. Moreover, the Heavenly Sword Sea can hardly protect itself now."
The old man in golden armor grinned and nodded vigorously.
"I've got the right timing, the right place, and the support of people. It seems that this Dao Artifact-level rare treasure really belongs to me!"
The Heavenly Sword Sea might not take a fancy to it, but that was from the perspective of the Heavenly Sword Sea.
What kind of existence was the Heavenly Sword Sea?
Even though it had declined by more than half now, it was still a top sect in the star domain, with such profound heritage that ordinary cultivators couldn't even imagine.
There was even a celestial sword directly placed across the Sword Sea, and even the White Emperor had to avoid its edge for the time being.
It was normal for an existence of this level to not take a fancy to a Dao Artifact-level rare treasure.
But from the perspective of the old man in golden armor at the Sea-Reversing Realm level, this Dao Artifact-level rare treasure was really an excellent thing. If it was powerful enough, it could at least increase his combat power by 30%!
"After I get this rare treasure and return to the sect, I'll be able to get rid of that bastard who's competing with me for the position and take another step forward!"
The three-eyed boy stood beside him, his eyes burning with enthusiasm. If the old man in golden armor could take another step forward, as his number one lackey, he would naturally reap many benefits.
"Three-Eyes, go down and take a look first. Help me find the location of the Dao Artifact-level rare treasure." The old man in golden armor suddenly said in a calm tone.
The three-eyed boy was stunned. A bead of sweat appeared on his forehead. "Elder, I can observe it from here too, and I can see it more clearly."
"How can you see clearly like this." The old man in golden armor shook his head. "You can only see clearly when you go down. Don't talk back. Obey the elder's order."
The three-eyed boy swallowed hard and looked at the others with a pleading look in his eyes. But all he saw were cold gazes.
His expression darkened, and he shook his head.
This was probably how people got along in the world of cultivators.
The three-eyed boy didn't delay any longer. He gritted his teeth and rushed towards the dead star, landing on its surface and rising and falling with its pulsation.
Three hours later.
The old man in golden armor landed on the dead star with a smile and asked the three-eyed boy, "Have you observed the location of the rare treasure?"
"It's right under your feet." The three-eyed boy replied with a flattering smile, not showing any sign of the previous unpleasantness at all.
"How can I get this rare treasure?" The old man in golden armor turned to ask again.
"Probably just dig it out. For a rare treasure, usually the first one to get it gets to keep it." The tall woman replied.
The old man in golden armor nodded and smiled at the others. "Then I'll have to ask you guys to leave first and protect me. After it's done, I won't forget your benefits."
The others nodded, expressionless, secretly cursing the old guy in their hearts.
He was just finding an excuse to send them away for fear that they would snatch the rare treasure and claim it for themselves.
After the others left, the old man in golden armor didn't hesitate any longer. He gathered spiritual energy in his hands and carefully started digging, preparing to welcome the birth of the rare treasure.
He was halfway through digging when a chill suddenly hit him from behind. He was startled, and instantly, a tiger-headed divine statue condensed on his golden armor.
Boom!
A heavy blow hit, shaking the entire dead star and also sending the old man in golden armor flying.
"How could you not inform me about the treasure hunt?" A somewhat feminine voice came, and then a flamboyantly dressed figure with swaying hips walked out.
The old man in golden armor's hair was in disarray, and a trace of blood oozed from the corner of his mouth. He gritted his teeth and cursed, "You effeminate thing, you always like to use such despicable means!"
"But you just can't defend against it, haha." The feminine figure sneered. "You're so useless."
The old man in golden armor took out a spirit medicine that could quickly heal injuries from his storage magic weapon and quickly swallowed it. He then turned his eyes to the people not far away, his expression gloomy, and cursed.
"Which bastard betrayed me!"
The others looked at each other, but no one said a word.
The feminine figure pinched his orchid fingers and giggled. "Don't be afraid. You'll follow me from now on. Are you worried that I won't be able to win in a fight later?"
The others looked at each other again, and then, except for the three-eyed boy, the other four people flashed to the back of the feminine figure in unison.
"Good!" The old man in golden armor gritted his teeth tightly, his eyes fierce. "How wonderful! You ungrateful bastards!"
The tall woman shook her head. "There was never any kindness in the first place, so how can there be any ungratefulness?"
The feminine figure laughed loudly, and his shrill voice continued, "You old thing, you don't win people's hearts. No wonder the people under you betrayed you."
The old man in golden armor looked at the remaining three-eyed boy and felt a bit of comfort in his heart. "Three-Eyes, you're still the most loyal. I really didn't misjudge you."
"No... Yes, but... How..." The three-eyed boy hadn't recovered from the sudden change yet and couldn't even speak clearly. At this moment, there was only one thought in his mind.
Was it still too late to defect?
Why didn't these guys tell him when they ran away?
"I'm determined to get this rare treasure today, and this dead star will be your burial place too!" The feminine figure sneered, and the spiritual energy in his hands was churning, ready to strike.
"Even if I die today, I'll kill all you bastards!"
The old man in golden armor's face was fierce. He tapped his golden armor with one hand, and a thousand-zhang tiger-headed divine statue appeared behind him, emitting a fierce tiger's roar!
During the confrontation between the two, the originally pulsating dead star began to gradually stop.
"The pulsation has stopped. The rare treasure should be about to appear!" The tall woman quickly said.
The old man in golden armor instantly clenched his fist and smashed it towards the surface of the dead star, creating a huge pit. Then his body rushed forward again, quickly diving into the dead star.
As long as he got the rare treasure, he would have a chance to turn the tables.
The feminine figure was not to be outdone and quickly followed.
In just a moment, the two cultivators at the Sea-Reversing Realm had smashed up 30% of the dead star and were constantly diving towards the center.
Finally, they collided with each other and each backed off several thousand meters, staring at each other nervously.
"Futile struggle." The feminine figure sneered with disdain.
The old man in golden armor clenched his fists tightly and didn't say a word.
The other several cultivators arrived one after another and were about to observe.
Suddenly, the entire dead star trembled.
The hard layers and veins in the center began to break, and cracks appeared one after another.
Boom!
A hand suddenly stretched out, and then half of a body slowly crawled out. There was a hint of anger in the tone.
"Can't you let me sleep?"
He was still a bit sleepy-eyed. It wasn't until he had crawled out most of his body that he opened his eyes. When he saw that almost half of the dead star was gone, his expression froze.
After a while, there was even more anger in Chen Xia's tone.
"Fuck you! Did you guys demolish my house?!"
