Chapter 74 The True Water of Taiyi: Open Abduction
In another area filled with waterways, a woman in a turquoise dress walks through a light drizzle, holding an oil-paper umbrella.
She was surrounded by mist, making it difficult to see clearly, but her beautiful figure could be vaguely discerned.
The entire area was shrouded in mist and extremely humid. Most people would probably find it difficult to get used to, but some ethnic groups might thrive here.
Shi Zhao watched quietly as the Rain Clan expended great effort to set up the magic array, showing no urgency whatsoever, and waited patiently on the side.
"The 'one body, three parts' approach is indeed useful, but why does it feel like I'm squeezing myself dry?" She sighed softly, feeling like she was competing with herself.
After breaking through the Inscription Realm, he cultivated diligently for several months and naturally achieved considerable success. He gained new insights into the One Body Three Division, and could freely mix essence, energy, and spirit. He could create any realm he wanted and maintain separate actions for a relatively long time.
By simply sealing the excess blood energy, magical power, and primordial spirit into three special grottoes, one can easily bypass the rules of Hundred Broken Mountains and sneak in.
For example, this body is based on the spiritual body formed by the fusion of ten grotto heavens, with some blood energy and primordial spirit power integrated, and the super-limit magic power sealed in the grotto heavens. It is no different from an ordinary grotto heaven realm cultivator.
The other two bodies did the same, each entering different areas of Hundred Broken Mountains, each eyeing certain treasures...
Several days later, Shi Hao rode the nine-headed lion he had forcibly subdued through the passage, crossing realms and alarming many living beings.
As they stepped into a mountainous region, thousands of runes suddenly flashed, and various divine lights intertwined, transforming into weapons such as swords, axes, and spears that surged and engulfed the area.
The man and the lion fought with all their might, breaking through five layers of rune-based killing formations, but inevitably sustaining some minor injuries.
Then ten more people arrived, all of them teenagers. They used the favorable weather and location to unleash the Rain Clan's special techniques, but unfortunately, Shi Hao's Suanni special technique was specifically designed to counter them.
Lightning flashed through the water and rain, blasting the ten people to death with the force of thunder.
As the saying goes, enemies are especially hostile when they meet. Shi Hao hates the Rain Clan the most because Shi Yi's mother is from the Rain Clan. The two sides are destined to have no good ending.
"There are many Rain Clan people here. Let's go and attack them," Shi Hao said calmly.
At this moment, he no longer seemed like the mischievous child who caused trouble everywhere; he was like a different person, exuding a chilling murderous intent that even made the nine-headed lion tremble.
Riding a nine-headed lion, Shi Hao killed eighteen people along the way, charging forward with overwhelming force.
"That brat actually came here on his own initiative. It seems he knew we were going to deal with him. Could he really be the child who disappeared back then?" someone whispered.
"It's alright, I'll take care of it," Yu Ziming said.
As a member of the Rain Clan, she had been ordered by her elders before arriving to do everything in her power to stop and kill that brat, even if it meant killing the wrong person rather than letting him go.
"Clap clap clap!"
Just then, a round of applause suddenly rang out from somewhere.
"Very good, very spirited, worthy of being one of the two outstanding talents of the Rain Clan." A clear and melodious voice followed, causing Yu Zimo's delicate body to tremble.
She knew that voice all too well; it was a nightmare that haunted her for the rest of her life.
In an instant, a woman holding a paper umbrella appeared before her. Her face was obscured, but her aura was unmistakable; she was the very woman who had abducted her in the capital.
"What are you doing here?" Yu Ziming subconsciously took a half step back.
"Didn't someone say they would follow me? What, have they changed their mind?"
The woman gave her no chance to hesitate or think, and directly reached out, grabbed her slender white neck, and forcibly dragged her away.
"Let her go!" Many Rain Clan members around saw their clan's most outstanding prodigy being kidnapped and instinctively stepped in to stop them.
Then the mysterious woman threw the paper umbrella in her hand, and it exploded with a bang.
Suddenly, a Suanni (a mythical beast) erupted from the hazy mist, its lightning reaching the heavens and the earth, and its flashes falling like a galaxy, one after another, magnificent to the extreme.
Everyone was blasted away, and some were almost torn apart by the raging Suanni. They fell into the nearby lake like raindrops, no match for the beast.
When Shi Hao arrived, he saw the mess everywhere. He immediately laughed and clapped his hands in delight. Then, without saying a word, he took the initiative to beat the dog that had fallen into the water.
If it weren't for the intervention of the four sealers, he would probably have killed all the Rain Clan members.
Every time Hundred Broken Mountains opens, there are always some overage people who try every means to sneak in. They seal their cultivation at a great cost and replenish a lot of essence to make their physical functions like those of teenagers, all for that great opportunity to obtain sacred medicine, heavenly bones, and the inheritance of saints.
Of course, most of these people met a tragic end; over 90% of them died.
The Rain Clan is plotting a sacred artifact, which is why they have deployed four people who are over the age limit.
"Damn it, Zi Mo has been kidnapped by thieves, and that brat ran away too!"
"Alright, let's go back first. We've made progress on the Taiyi True Water. Its importance to our clan surpasses everything else; it's enough to allow our clan to rise again!"
Taiyi True Water is a top-tier divine liquid containing the laws of water. It has miraculous effects whether used in medicine or for refining weapons, and it is especially significant for the Rain Clan.
Few people know that the Taiyi True Water is not by the great lake or the spiritual spring, but in the deepest part of the only desert in this area.
The reason why a desert appears out of place in this land of water and marshland is that the Taiyi True Water has drained the surrounding spiritual energy, resulting in this desolate place.
The Rain Clan had located the divine liquid, but dared not approach it easily. The Taiyi True Water was spiritual, and had evolved runes and laws, allowing it to fly and disappear into the earth. If it was forcibly taken without the approval of the Clan, it would be impossible to obtain the entire pool of water; at most, they could only seize a few handfuls of the divine liquid.
They wanted everything, and that's exactly what Shi Zhao thought too.
"Do you know what's here?" Yu Ziming was thrown down and knelt in the yellow sand. Her divine power was sealed, and she was powerless to struggle. The nightmare from before was playing out again.
"The True Water of Taiyi, that's what I came for." Shi Zhao's body also changed its appearance, becoming very similar to when he was in the capital.
Having followed the Rain Clan deep into the desert, they could already sense that mysterious fluctuation.
Of course, if she were willing to put in the effort, she might have been able to find it earlier, but how could it be as easy and effortless as she is now, reaping the benefits without lifting a finger?
Not far away, a sacred pool stands out prominently in the golden desert.
Although the divine pool was small, it possessed a vast and undulating energy, like a boundless ocean. The divine liquid radiated a sacred light, almost as if it possessed a spirit.
The Rain Clan is still using various methods to try to get close, praying, chanting incantations, and preparing all sorts of treasures to deal with the situation. They are extremely careful in their attempt to gain the approval of the Taiyi True Water.
Shi Zhao smiled faintly. After the Rain Clan resolved most of the troubles, he appeared from another direction and walked away leisurely in front of them, his main purpose being to infuriate them to death.
"It's her again! After kidnapping Zi Mo, she still wants to steal the Taiyi True Water?!"
"Where is the beast guarding the Taiyi True Water? Quickly stop her! Kill her!"
The Rain Clan members on the other side were nearly frantic with worry. When they saw a spirit vine rising from the ground, resembling a green dragon dancing in the air, they couldn't help but cheer for it.
The next moment, the spirit vine was slapped into the desert by Shi Zhao, turning into a limp vine. She picked it up, straightened it, and tied it around her waist.
The Rain Clan members felt as if they had been doused with cold water, their entire bodies turning cold.
"Who are you?" Taiyi Zhenshui asked in a puzzled voice.
It has already become spiritually connected, but its will is still very weak and vague, revealing a sense of confusion. However, it has already evolved runes and laws, showing signs of transforming into a sacrificial spirit.
"You want to become a sacrificial spirit, and I happen to know an incredibly powerful sacrificial spirit. If you follow me, you will surely grow further and become a god or ancestor in no time."
Shi Zhao revealed the aura he had acquired from spending time with Liu Shen, which made Taiyi Zhenshui feel extremely close to and in awe of him. Without hesitation, he agreed to follow.
On the other hand, even when the Rain Clan brought out their most treasured Rain God decree, it was still to no avail.
The mere hairy god, whose origins are unknown, is not even worth a fraction of a hair on a single leaf of the Willow God. Taiyi Zhenshui naturally knows who to choose.
The Rain Clan members were terrified, so they steeled themselves and charged forward, intending to forcibly seize the loot.
"A fight is about to break out, what should we do?"
A little further away, Shi Hao's eyes widened in disbelief at this dramatic turn of events.
He really wanted that divine elixir too!
