Chapter 59

Zhao Shuo held the Zhou Tian Ruyi Purple Light Pagoda in his hand and said, "What are you afraid of? Now that your strength has reached its peak, I'm not far behind either. Even if there are demonic beasts, whether it's my Zhou Tian Ruyi Purple Light Pagoda or your Oriental Yi Wood Azure Dragon Seal, they are both extraordinary spiritual treasures. Even if we can't defeat them, we should be able to protect ourselves. Besides, this small island has treasures like the White Jade Spirit Fruit. Do you really think the small island in the center of the lake wouldn't have precious treasures?"

Bai Jianjia's strength had surged, and she was eager to try her hand. Her delicate face lit up with excitement, and she nodded, saying, "You're right, let's go to the island!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Zhao Shuo felt a massive force envelop him. The scenery before his eyes changed, and he suddenly found himself on the small island in the center of the lake.

Zhao Shuo looked at Bai Jianjia in surprise and said, "Instant teleportation technique?"

Bai Jianjia nodded and said, "My cultivation has reached the initial stage of the Divine Technique, so naturally, I have mastered the instant teleportation technique. In the past, my magical power was insufficient, so this is the first time I've used it."

Zhao Shuo looked at the small island a dozen miles away and marveled, "A Divine Technique is indeed a Divine Technique. A simple instant teleportation can instantly cross dozens of miles of space. I wonder what it would be like to use the great instant teleportation technique."

Just as Bai Jianjia was about to speak, a bird's cry came from the sky. Soon, thousands of water birds flew out from the small island in the center, quickly forming a dark cloud above the two of them.

"Black-feathered Cranes!"

Bai Jianjia sighed in relief at first, then frowned and said, "Although these Black-feathered Cranes are not powerful demonic beasts, their population is very large, with no less than ten thousand in a single flock. Even some powerful demonic beasts wouldn't easily provoke these Black-feathered Cranes."

Zhao Shuo, however, laughed heartily and said, "If it were a powerful demonic beast, that would be one thing, but these Black-feathered Cranes, though numerous, are far too weak!"

As he spoke, Zhao Shuo suddenly summoned the Zhou Tian Ruyi Purple Light Pagoda, made a hand seal, and shouted, "Zhou Tian Ruyi, absorb!"

The small, exquisite pagoda instantly grew to a massive size, floating high in the air. As Zhao Shuo's words fell, an endless purple light enveloped the area, binding hundreds of Black-feathered Cranes. Before the cranes could react, the purple light sucked them in, and nearly a third of the Black-feathered Cranes were instantly absorbed into the pagoda by Zhao Shuo.

The massive pagoda spun and shrank, landing in Zhao Shuo's hand. Zhao Shuo's face was somewhat pale, as he had expended a lot of energy to drive the pagoda.

Waving at the stunned Bai Jianjia, Zhao Shuo smiled and said, "I just helped you a lot. Try to deal with the remaining Black-feathered Cranes. I don't believe these demonic beasts can do anything to us."

Bai Jianjia's gaze swept over the Black-feathered Cranes that were screeching and diving at them. Her eyes flashed, and a wave of magical power caused lightning to rain down from the sky, crackling and sizzling. The Black-feathered Cranes, like roasted chickens, smoked and fell from the sky.

"Small Divine Technique — Great Lightning Strike!"

With the support of her vast magical power, the lightning rained down like a storm, and the Black-feathered Cranes, like drenched chickens, could not avoid the lightning and were struck one by one.

Gradually, Bai Jianjia's magical power waned, and the lightning became sparse. Despite this, the number of Black-feathered Cranes in the sky had drastically decreased, leaving only about a hundred. Nearly ten thousand Black-feathered Cranes had been absorbed by Zhao Shuo, and at least five thousand had been struck dead by the lightning, with nearly two thousand fleeing. In just a short while, the Black-feathered Cranes that dominated the small island in the center of the lake were almost wiped out.

After a few mournful cries, the remaining hundred or so Black-feathered Cranes were struck by the lightning and fell, smoking. Looking at the ground covered with the corpses of Black-feathered Cranes, Zhao Shuo looked at Bai Jianjia in amazement.

Bai Jianjia, with a pale face, also looked surprised, clearly not expecting her small divine technique to have such an effect.

Regaining his energy, Zhao Shuo walked to the stunned Bai Jianjia and said, "What are you thinking about? I didn't expect you to be so powerful when you get angry!"

Bai Jianjia took a deep breath and said, "I didn't expect the Great Lightning Strike to be so powerful."

Zhao Shuo smiled and said, "It's not that the Great Lightning Strike is powerful, but that these demonic beasts are too weak. The Great Lightning Strike is a group attack, so it had this effect. If you used other divine techniques, it wouldn't have been the same."

Bai Jianjia nodded and said, "Since the Black-feathered Cranes on the island have been eliminated, let's look for the treasures that could have nurtured so many demonic beasts."

Zhao Shuo nodded. It was indeed surprising that a small island could support a demonic beast population. After all, a large number of heavenly materials and treasures would be needed to sustain a demonic beast population.

As they turned a corner in the forest, a dense wave of elemental energy hit them, increasing by nearly ten times. The elemental energy even formed a mist that floated in the air.

A pond appeared before them, with clear water and a field of blooming lotuses.

Each lotus was in full bloom, and many lotus pods emitted a refreshing fragrance. The mist condensed into dewdrops that rolled on the lotus leaves, creating a scene that seemed to be from a fairyland.

"Crystal Lotus Seeds!"

Zhao Shuo exclaimed, and Bai Jianjia, hearing Zhao Shuo's words, looked at him in surprise and trembled, "You... you mean these are Crystal Lotus Seeds?"

Zhao Shuo swallowed his saliva and nodded fiercely, "Yes, these are the legendary Crystal Lotus Seeds. I didn't expect there to be so many. Heaven, a whole pond of them! How many Crystal Lotus Seeds can we harvest? We're rich, we're rich!"

Zhao Shuo, overwhelmed with excitement, rushed to Bai Jianjia and tightly embraced her, laughing and shouting wildly.

Bai Jianjia was much calmer than Zhao Shuo, but she was also very excited. After a while, she realized she was being held by Zhao Shuo and her face turned red. She waved her hand and pushed Zhao Shuo into the pond.

Zhao Shuo, falling into the pond, was refreshed by the clear water. He thought about his actions, realizing he had hugged Bai Jianjia, and the soft touch lingered in his mind.

Noticing Zhao Shuo's gaze, Bai Jianjia's face turned bright red, and she glared at him fiercely.

Zhao Shuo chuckled, dove to a Crystal Lotus, and carefully picked out a dozen ripe Crystal Lotus Seeds from the lotus pod.

The Crystal Lotus Seeds emitted a faint lotus fragrance, were crystal clear like glass, and most amazingly, a small lotus could be seen inside each seed, indicating they were fully ripe.
