Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 1496: Chapter 1495: Divine Sense on the Golden Line!

Su Han gathered medicinal ingredients, while Chen Zhonghai and others took the blame. It seemed to have become a recurring cycle...

In the next three hours, the expressions of Chen Zhonghai and the others had turned from sullen to ashen, then from ashen to a liver-like hue.

They were already at a depth of around one hundred thousand fathoms underwater, with spirit beasts emerging endlessly. Chen Zhonghai and his companions were struggling to fend for themselves, let alone clean up after Su Han.

Furious spirit beasts appeared with increasing frequency, while Su Han’s aura vanished and reappeared time and again.

There were several moments when Chen Zhonghai and the others considered giving up, but they were really unwilling to surrender.

Just the Demon-Repellent Incense alone had cost them three sticks, plus considerable danger.

The most crucial point is...

They clearly felt that Su Han was just a First Grade Spirit Transformation Realm!

They were extremely confident in this cultivation base, because Su Han had passed the examination not long ago, and at that time he was merely in the Mortal Realm.

Back then, Su Han’s strength was already formidable. In Chen Zhonghai’s eyes, he was likely on the verge of the Spirit Transformation Realm, or how else could he have single-handedly caused the hundred thousand assessment disciples of the Sect of the Supreme Shadow to flee in panic?

So, during this time, Su Han’s breakthrough to the First Grade Spirit Transformation Realm was perfectly logical and natural.

Yet, it was this mere Spirit Transformation Realm that had cost them three sticks of Demon-Repellent Incense and placed them in numerous perilous situations. Could they simply give up?

”That’s absolutely impossible!”

Chen Zhonghai snorted coldly, ”Unless a Third-Grade Spirit Beast appears, the Demon-Repellent Incense is effective against any Second Grade Spirit Beast. Even if it’s comparable to a Seventh Grade Spirit Body Realm, the incense would still draw them; without the emergence of a Third-Grade Spirit Beast, I absolutely won’t give up!”

”Moreover, not only will I not give up, but I will also torture this person to death, causing Heavenly Mountain Pavilion immense loss and letting him understand the cost of trifling with us!”

Listening to Chen Zhonghai, the other two also showed anger. The chubby one said, ”Indeed, giving up like this is definitely impossible. The reason he has provoked so many spirit beasts to rage is surely not intentional. We’ve seen plenty of medicinal ingredient remnants along the way; he must have gathered the ingredients, drawing these spirit beasts’ wrath!”

”Regardless, in the end, it’s like making a wedding dress for us. I refuse to believe that he, a mere Spirit Transformation Realm, could escape from our grasp.” Chen Zhonghai said through gritted teeth.

...

”What a thrill!”

Su Han held a Second Grade Medicinal Herb ’Green Heart Leaf’ and gleefully watched the enraged Second Grade Spirit Beasts charging towards Chen Zhonghai and the others, feeling a deep sense of satisfaction.

”That’s why they say, no matter where you go, it’s essential to find a backer; having someone clean up after you feels quite nice...”

If Chen Zhonghai and his friends heard this, they might be livid.

”Only seven thousand fathoms left.”

Pondering, Su Han emerged from the Xumi Ring of the Holy Son, hurrying downward at the fastest speed.

When the sky outside turned completely dark, the endpoint marked on the map finally arrived.

But Su Han frowned because he found no trace of the Nine-Heart Lotus.

This was the seabed, with thick layers of dust soaked by water, resting on the ground. When Su Han stood there, he felt as if he was being encircled by the mud.

”If the recordings are accurate, then this should be the endpoint.”

Reflecting, Su Han’s silhouette flickered, and he moved a full three thousand meters in the directions of east, west, south, and north but found nothing.

Ultimately, Su Han returned to the original spot.

By calculation, spanning three thousand meters in any of the directions had already diverged from the endpoint, and the correct recording was right here.

”Could this map indeed be a fraud? Is it fake? Is there simply no Nine-Heart Lotus here?”

Su Han’s brows knit tightly. He murmured, ”Could someone at the extremity of the Spirit Body Realm, on the verge of stepping into the First Grade Void Heaven Realm, create such a map merely to exchange for fifty thousand Spirit Crystals?”

”Not fifty thousand, it’s seventy thousand.”

Just at that moment, a sudden voice rang beside Su Han’s ear.

Su Han shuddered, his expression tensing, and he shouted with furrowed brows, ”Who?!”

”Whoosh!”

There was no reply, but the golden lines on the map split apart and slowly formed into a figure right before Su Han.

It was the elder who sold Su Han the map!

Su Han’s pupils contracted, and he immediately understood that those golden lines, which he thought were inscribed with the extremity of Spirit Body Realm power...were actually this person’s Divine Sense!!!

Though it was just a Divine Sense, Su Han was unafraid, even if the elder himself appeared, Su Han would not fear.

After a brief moment, Su Han calmed down, ”What do you want?”

”Quite astute!”

The elder looked at Su Han with a smile, ”I won’t reveal your secret, including the ring with the special space.”

”Are you threatening me?” Su Han’s expression turned icy.

”You’re too cautious.”

The elder shook his head, ”I just want the thing I want. Others have no relation to me.”

”Speak clearly.” Su Han said coolly.

He despised the feeling of being deceived.

This elder, using Divine Sense, followed him all the way here, forming golden lines unnoticed...

”I want the Lotus Throne of the Nine-Heart Lotus.” the elder said.

”Lotus Throne?”

Su Han’s face turned somewhat somber, ”You’re quite audacious!”

In usual circumstances, the Lotus Seeds of the Nine-Heart Lotus are naturally the most precious.

But that depends on the age!

For Nine-Heart Lotus under thirty thousand years, indeed the Lotus Seeds are most precious, but over thirty thousand years, the value of the Lotus Throne also becomes significant.

It’s just that very few Nine-Heart Lotus specimens older than thirty thousand years exist. Such Nine-Heart Lotuses are either picked or wholly devoured by spirit beasts.

Besides the spirit beasts, even if previously picked, the Lotus Throne’s effectiveness diminishes greatly.

All things considered, Nine-Heart Lotuses surpassing thirty thousand years are extraordinarily rare, and finding one is a matter of luck, not skill.

Of course, securing it depends on skill.

At this point, Su Han was deeply certain that where he stood, there was undoubtedly a Nine-Heart Lotus, and it surely exceeded thirty thousand years!

That’s why he accused the elder of being audacious.

”So you’re aware?”

The elder paused in surprise and looked toward Su Han’s chest, where an unhidden Alchemist Badge caught his eye.

”Even if you’re a top-grade Pill Master among the First Grade, you have no business knowing about the Lotus Throne, do you?” the elder questioned.
