The Divine Stone in Hand

When the Heavenly Emperor saw Zhang Xingfeng heading towards the Star Brilliance, he immediately said, "Xingfeng, what are you doing there? That Star Brilliance belongs to my Tianlong Sect, and the Divine Stone also belongs to my Tianlong Sect. Don't get any wicked ideas."

Zhang Xingfeng said indifferently without turning his head, "Hmm? I admit that Star Brilliance is yours, but is this Divine Stone also your Tianlong Sect's? It seems that you can't even get close to it even if it's placed in front of you. By the way, you know that I can't get close to it either. I just went to take a look. Can't I even take a look? Oh, there's something else. Didn't you just ask Li Qiang to deal with the Purple Cloud Realm? Why didn't he do it?"

The Heavenly Emperor glanced at the cool-looking Li Qiang beside him and immediately sent a telepathic message to the Azure Emperor: "Why aren't you making a move with such a good opportunity? Let's just seize this chance and establish our dominance in the Immortal Realm! Make your move!"

The Azure Emperor then transmitted his voice, saying, "Hmph, Chi Yang, we are good brothers, but I am also the sect leader of Fengyuan Gate. You should know that the number of experts in the Purple Cloud Realm is greater than that of my Fengyuan Gate. Even if Li Qiang can deal with Ziwei, it won't be a quick matter. Most importantly, won't Ziwei escape? I believe that neither of our sects can catch up with his speed. Without absolute certainty, you want me to ask Fengyuan Gate to take action? Chiyang, you seem to be going a bit too far!"

Although Ziwei was a late-stage Immortal Emperor, she was the fastest in terms of speed thanks to her Seven Star Robe, Teleportation, Great Teleportation, or piloting the Star Brilliance. Only the unfortunate Yang Lang was faster than her, but now that Yang Lang was gone, who could keep Ziwei alive?

This is why Li Qiang didn't take action!

"Zhang Xingfeng, why are you still heading towards Star Brilliance? Do you really want to make things difficult for my Tianlong Sect?" The Heavenly Emperor's face was gloomy. Now, his Tianlong Sect was indeed the weakest one. After losing Yang Lang, their status had been greatly reduced.

Standing at the entrance of Star Brilliance, Zhang Xingfeng turned to the Heavenly Emperor and said, "Oh, everyone, do you think this Divine Stone belongs to his Tianlong Sect? Does he have the right to forbid me from seeing it?"

Ziwei was the first to speak, "Of course it's not his. Hmph, Chiyang, go ahead and take it. If you're so capable, then take it. As long as you take that Divine Stone, my Purple Cloud Realm will acknowledge that it belongs to your Tianlong Sect. But you have to take it!" Ziwei looked like she was looking forward to a good show.

Gourd Venerable scoffed, "Hmph, kid, don't overestimate yourself. Even that old bastard Huang Yan could only get within five meters. Forget it, well, it's better if this Divine Stone is unclaimed. Nobody can get it, nobody can get it!"

Huang Yan and his old buddies exchanged smiles but remained silent.

Fengyuan Gate was, after all, allied with the Tianlong Sect, and Azure Emperor didn't want Tianlong Sect to suffer too much loss. He immediately transmitted his thoughts to Chiyang, saying, "Chiyang, you're really stupid. Can't you even see the situation clearly? Yang Lang is gone. What does your Tianlong Sect have left to intimidate others? Forget it, forget it. This Divine Stone is not something your Tianlong Sect can obtain. Even if you manage to seize it, Ziwei, Gourd Venerable, Huangyan True Person will all come to snatch it. At that time, how will you withstand these experts? Be careful that you don't end up not getting the Divine Stone, but instead causing a great loss to the strength of the Tianlong Sect. Then, you will be the sinner of the Tianlong Sect!"

Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Emperor was immediately jolted awake. The words, "At that time, you were a sinner of the Tianlong Sect," jolted Heavenly Emperor back to his senses.

Just now, after Yang Lang seized the Divine Stone Divine Stone, the Heavenly Emperor was overjoyed, believing it belonged to his Tianlong Sect. His fantasies of dominating the Tianlong Sect Realm and leading all immortals vanished, and his former sagacity vanished. After Yang Lang left, the Heavenly Emperor frantically tried to protect the Divine Stone, Divine Stone, in his eyes, represented that dream! But he forgot the consequences if he couldn't protect it and was besieged by various powerful forces!

Now, the Azure Emperor's words Yu Rang the Heavenly Emperor to his senses and made him calm down!

"Thank you, Yuanmu, thank you so much, I was just..." The Heavenly Emperor immediately transmitted his thoughts to the Azure Emperor.

The Azure Emperor then transmitted his voice, saying, "Hehe, I understand. No matter who obtains the Divine Stone and then loses it in an instant, such a disparity would cause them to lose their composure. I probably won't be much better off than you. Yuanmu, it's the right path for our two sects to join forces to deal with that Purple Cloud Realm in the future!"

The Heavenly Emperor understood, and turned to the crowd, saying, "Hehe, that Divine Stone is certainly not something my Tianlong Sect can control now. Whoever can take it, can take it!"

Zhang Xingfeng then entered the Star Brilliance.

After unleashing Absolute Space, Zhang Xingfeng easily walked towards the Divine Stone, and after a few steps, he arrived in front of it.

Zhang Xingfeng shrunk the Absolute Space range from three meters to just touching his skin. As soon as Zhang Xingfeng touched the Divine Stone, a powerful force immediately rushed into Zhang Xingfeng body. Zhang Xingfeng clearly felt his whole body trembling, as if he were bathing in hot water, a wonderful feeling.

However, Zhang Xingfeng still focused his mind, and with a flash of light, the Divine Stone entered the Mustard Seed Space.

"Sigh, this Divine Stone is indeed powerful, truly powerful! It's impossible to get close to it. Anyone want to try?" Zhang Xingfeng walked out from the Star Brilliance, shaking his head and sighing.

Ziwei scoffed, "Hmph, of course it's impossible to get close. It goes without saying. First, only a storage bracelet of divine artifact level can hold this Divine Stone. Second, even if you possess a divine artifact-level storage bracelet, it's useless. The owner must be able to get close to Divine Stone and touch it for it to have any effect. Heh, with the god Yang Lang gone, unless another god emerges in this realm, no one will be able to lift that Divine Stone!"

Huangyan True Person coldly said, "Ziwei, stop your babbling. Let me tell you, there may be some divine beings in this realm, but some of them aren't interested in immortal crystals and are staying in their lairs. If they knew there were Divine Stone here, they would probably all come over, and then the Divine Stone would belong to someone else!"

The Gourd Venerable suddenly looked at Zhang Xingfeng and said, "What's wrong with you? Are you leaving?"

Zhang Xingfeng smiled and said, "Alas, that Divine Stone is not something we can possess. Since there's no hope of obtaining Divine Stone, what are we still doing here? Everyone, I'll take my leave first!" Zhang Xingfeng immediately took out the Star Brilliance.

Upon hearing this, some Immortal Monarch and Immortal Emperor in the distance also said, "We're leaving too. There's nothing more for us to do with these Divine Stones. Oh, and we don't want to take any more of Young Master Bu's high-grade Immortal Stone. Farewell!"

Immediately afterwards, the various Immortal Monarch and Immortal Emperor took out their Star Brilliance and left one by one.

"Not good!"

The Gourd Venerable shouted. He had sensed something strange about Zhang Xingfeng earlier, so he scanned him with his Divine Sense. He immediately discovered that the aura of the Divine Stone was gone!

The Gourd Venerable flashed and arrived outside the Star Brilliance.

"Gourd Venerable, what are you doing!" Ziwei and the others shouted.

Gourd Venerable entered the Star Brilliance, he found that the Divine Stone was indeed gone. He immediately shouted, "The Divine Stone is gone! The Divine Stone is gone! It was that kid from before! It was him!"

Ziwei and the others were immediately shocked and rushed into the Star Brilliance. Sure enough, there were no more Divine Stone in the Star Brilliance.

"How could that kid possibly get close to the Divine Stone? Even if he did, it doesn't make sense. When that kid came out, he didn't have the Divine Stone in his hand. What did he use to hold the Divine Stone?" Huangyan True Person incredulously.

"That kid is Pangu's disciple. The only artifact-level storage bracelet in this realm belongs to Pangu. It must be on Zhang Xingfeng now. Everyone, hurry up and chase after him!" Ziwei shouted, immediately taking out Star Brilliance to prepare for pursuit.

Gourd Venerable, Huangyan True Person, and others also took out their Star Brilliance and chased after them.

Zhang Xingfeng put away the Star Brilliance and began to move forward using the Great Teleportation. Fortunately, the Great Teleportation was flexible, and Zhang Xingfeng Great Teleportation with ease.

"Hehe, once Yang Lang is gone, who among you can still detect me with your Divine Sense? I'm not in a hurry, and I won't use Star Brilliance. Star Brilliance Radiance is too conspicuous. Hehe, I 'Great Teleportation back and see how you find me!"

"This harvest is truly substantial. Once this Divine Stone is returned, won't the cultivation speed of my Tianxin Sect disciples increase dramatically? Hmph, I am currently in the mid-stage of Immortal Monarch. When I reach the late-stage of Immortal Monarch, who among them will be able to deal with me?" Zhang Xingfeng thought to himself.

Due to Zhang Xingfeng's low cultivation level, his Fire Blade could only function as a mid-level Saint Artifact. Currently, with the Fire Blade, Zhang Xingfeng could easily deal with late-stage Immortal Emperor experts, but... even so, Zhang Xingfeng would find it difficult to handle Gourd Venerable, Ziwei, and the others. After all, Ziwei and the others were far stronger than ordinary late-stage Immortal Emperor experts.

However, even with the Eight Divisions Heavenly Dragon, Zhang Xingfeng could still deal with Ziwei and the others. But Gourd Venerable and Huangyan True Person came together. At that time, several experts might attack together, and that would be terrible!

"Oh no! If I go back now, they won't be able to find me. They'll definitely be waiting for me on my way back from Tianyan Star. If that happens, I'll be walking right into their trap!" Zhang Xingfeng thought anxiously, but then Zhang Xingfeng panicked. "What if those guys capture my Tianxin Sect disciples and use them to threaten me?"

"No, those disciples are the future of my Tianxin Sect. No matter what, nothing can go wrong with them. Ziwei, Gourd Venerable, you mustn't touch my Tianxin Sect disciples, otherwise..." Zhang Xingfeng's murderous intent rose, and he immediately increased his speed, rushing directly towards Tianyan Star...

"Zhang Xingfeng is too cunning. How come we can't sense his presence? How are we supposed to find him?" Ziwei said anxiously to someone else.

The Heavenly Emperor and the Azure Emperor, recalling that they also couldn't sense Zhang Xingfeng's aura that day, immediately transmitted their thoughts to everyone, saying, "Everyone, Zhang Xingfeng is the disciple of the Fire God. The Fire God passed on many wondrous Cultivation Method to him, and we couldn't sense his aura back then either. Now he may have used these Cultivation Method as well. What should we do if we can't find him?"

Huangyan True Person and Gourd Venerable were shocked. "Fire God? Is that the one who likes to unleash divine fire?"

"Yes, it's him!" even Ziwei answered.

Gourd Venerable stammered, "Uh... Fire God, well, since Zhang Xingfeng is the Divine Stone of Fire God's disciple, it seems we... Heh... Huang Yan, what do you say? I think I can't take it, after all... after all, we can't afford to offend the Fire God! When the God of Fire God fire burns, even countless experts in the entire Immortal Realm combined are no match for him!"

Upon hearing this, everyone felt a tremor in their hearts.

The Fire God's reputation is known to almost every immortal who has cultivated for a long time. Back when the immortals and demons fought in the Dead Zone, the Fire God came to investigate. With a single kick, his divine fire was unleashed, and whoosh! Anyone who touched it was doomed! Whether it was a minor immortal like Luo Tian Heavenly Immortal or an absolute master like a late-stage Immortal Emperor, none of them had the slightest power to retaliate against the divine fire.

The Fire God is capricious; he can kill or burn at will!

No matter who is the most powerful person in the immortal realm or the most powerful god, no one dares to offend the Fire God. The Fire God is an invincible being. What's even more terrifying is... why doesn't this guy ever go to the Divine Realm!

"I'm withdrawing from the pursuit of Zhang Xingfeng!" Gourd Venerable said decisively.

After thinking for a moment, Huangyan True Person said, "Since he is the disciple of Senior Fire God, it's fine to keep the Divine Stone. I will withdraw like the old gourd!"

The Azure Emperor and the Heavenly Emperor had an agreement with Zhang Xingfeng, and they didn't want to offend the Fire God, so they immediately said, "In that case, we'll withdraw too!"

Ziwei was taken aback. He hadn't expected that the name of the Fire God would scare away all these experts. He didn't dare to offend the Fire God either. He only had the courage to do it because he had pulled everyone along.

"Ziwei, are you going alone? But let me tell you, the Fire God isn't the kind of person who has any Fire God. Who knows, one day he might suddenly get the mood and go to the Purple Cloud Realm to unleash divine fire, and your Purple Cloud Realm will be gone. By the way, if Purple Cloud Realm gets burned by divine fire, don't blame me for not warning you! Hehe, we're leaving!" After saying that, Gourd Venerable led his men away one by one.

One by one, Huangyan True Person, Azure Emperor, and Heavenly Emperor's forces also departed in their Star Brilliance.

Ziwei, however, was unwilling to give up. She suddenly ordered the experts of the Purple Cloud Realm in the Star Brilliance, "Remember, once we return to the Immortal Realm, mobilize the power of my Purple Cloud Realm and spread the word that Zhang Xingfeng obtained the Divine Stone. You must spread the word! Hmph, I don't believe there are no divine beings in the Immortal Realm. Those reclusive divine beings will not be tempted! As long as one of them is tempted, Zhang Xingfeng will be finished. Alright, let's go!"

"Where are we going? To chase after Zhang Xingfeng?" Zi Yan asked from the side.

Ziwei immediately flew into a rage and said, "Chase Zhang Xingfeng? Are you stupid? Do you want that Fire God to set off a divine fire that burns down Purple Cloud Realm one day? Let's go to the Immortal Realm!"
