"It's probably because this space is too vast, and the eight corners of the Elemental Altar represent eight areas of this space. Therefore, the Necromancer, the Ajax Emperor, and other powerful figures Teleport to other areas," Sun Fei could only guess.
However, since they were Teleport into this space at the same time, they will inevitably meet again sooner or later, and Sun Fei believes that this time will not be too late, so there is no need to rush.
"Ah... Heavens, what is that? Dragon Knot Grass? Am I seeing things? This is impossible, there's actually Dragon Knot Grass here, and there's so much of it all at once!" An elderly powerhouse standing next to Sun Fei glanced casually into the distance, and suddenly his eyes almost bulged out of their sockets. His face was filled with horror, as if he had seen the most unbelievable thing in the world, and he couldn't help but exclaim in shock.
Sun Fei followed the gaze of the elderly powerhouse who had screamed in surprise, and his gaze immediately sharpened, his pupils contracted, and an incredulous light flashed in his eyes.
They stood atop a precipitous, solitary peak, and saw a large patch of crimson, mushroom-shaped strange grass growing on the Rock of another mountain a hundred meters away. The grass swayed in the wind, releasing wisps of faint red mist, each more than ten meters in diameter, that permeated the mountains. A sweet, cloying smell wafted from the mist, and inhaling it made one dizzy.
This is... Dragon Knot Grass!
It really is Dragon Knot Grass?!
And so many appeared all at once?
Sun Fei was dumbfounded, and the legend of Dragon Knot Grass almost instantly popped into his mind—the legend says that there is a strange magical beast called the Crimson Dragon Serpent on the Azeroth Continent. They are born with extraordinary abilities, are rare in number, and cannot reproduce. From birth, there are fewer than a hundred of them, and even after thousands of years, there are still only a hundred. They do not die. There is an instinct hidden in their bloodline—they will crawl towards the sea their whole lives. Legend has it that as long as they can swim across the sea, they can transform from serpents into dragons, soar through the sky, and become the top of the food chain.
Unfortunately, these magical beasts are lazy and lack perseverance. They are also vindictive and easily harbor resentment. They often become too weak to continue halfway across the sea, yet they are unwilling to return. Unable to vent their resentment, they linger for a long time, spitting out venom and expelling all the poison and gas from their mouths onto the Rock in the sea. This spitting continues for thousands of years, eventually transforming the Rock into mushroom-shaped objects with a herb-like texture.
This herb is known as Dragon Knot Grass.
The process by which Dragon Knot Grass is formed is terrifying, but it has extremely wonderful medicinal effects.
It is said that this thing tastes incredibly delicious. After being cooked, even the gods in the heavens crave its flavor. Moreover, after martial artists consume it, they can increase their fighting Dou Qi and even cultivate an incomparably powerful thousand-year dragon aura within their bodies. It is truly miraculous. Several lucky individuals on the Azeroth Continent have had the opportunity to obtain Dragon Knot Grass. After consuming it, they all became masters in their own right, and almost everyone advanced to the ranks of Great Sun-Rank Venerable.
Of course, nothing in the world is perfect.
Dragon Knot Grass also has its drawbacks.
Its only flaw is that it only ripens once every thousand years, and can only be eaten after it has matured. If it has not grown for a thousand years, it will be extremely poisonous. Even if an omnipotent god accidentally eats it, he will be killed by the venom and resentment accumulated by the Crimson Dragon Serpent within the Dragon Knot Grass over nearly a thousand years, and there will be absolutely no cure.
Sun Fei had learned a great deal about potions and herbs from Sister Akara, and he had also seen the legend of Dragon Knot Grass many times in books in the real world. Therefore, at a glance, combined with the red mist in the air and the sweet smell, he immediately determined the origin of the strange grass on the lonely peak a hundred meters away.
Swish swish swish!
With a flash of movement, the five powerful figures flew to the opposite mountain peak almost simultaneously.
The five people stood before the Rock covered with Dragon Knot Grass. Even Sun Fei was incredibly excited. However, as powerful and experienced individuals, they remained cautious, their bodies shimmering with Dou Qi to repel the red, poisonous mist.
"Reddish-brown color? Sweet smell... What a pity, it's only nine hundred years old, not ripe yet." Sun Fei observed it closely for a while, and couldn't help but feel greatly disappointed.
"Sigh, it seems we're not meant to be."
"I hate it! I only have less than ten years left to live, but this Dragon Knot Grass takes a hundred years to mature. I hate it so much..."
"Is it possible to miss out on a treasure so close at hand? No, since we've encountered it, we must gain something. This is Dragon Knot Grass..." A powerful figure was extremely unwilling. He carefully dug out a small piece of Dragon Knot Grass, along with a Rock from the ground, and put it into his storage ring. He said he would wait for it to mature, and even if he didn't need it, he could leave it to his descendants.
This action made the other extremely disappointed experts realize something, and they each took a few pieces of soil and stones and put them into their own spatial containers.
However, during this process, the four elderly powerhouses restrained their greed well, taking only a small amount and not plundering the entire Dragon Knot Grass. Firstly, excessive plundering would be tantamount to wasting a treasure born from the essence of heaven and earth, which would definitely harm their own fortune. Secondly, they were able to enter this place entirely with Sun Fei's help, so it was only natural for the four of them to give the remaining large portion to Sun Fei.
After thinking for a while, Sun Fei gently shook his head and did not dig.
"Why doesn't Your Majesty also collect some for future use?" the elderly, powerful man with white hair and beard suggested to Sun Fei.
"Let them stay here and grow naturally. I'll have another chance later." Sun Fei is only eighteen years old this year, but he has already entered the Moon Class. His lifespan is at least three hundred years. If he can go further and become Great Sun-Rank Venerable in the future, he will have a lifespan of six hundred years. Naturally, he will be able to wait for the Dragon Knot Grass here to mature.
The four elderly powerhouses were suddenly struck by Sun Fei's strength, which made them overlook the fact that he was only eighteen years old. Thinking about it now, they were filled with envy, but they also had to admit that he really didn't need to rush at all.
After harvesting the immature Dragon Knot Grass, the five of them set off together into the depths of the forest.
The thirty-sixth difficulty area of the God and Demon Palace Complex is known as a martial artist's Paradise, free from any danger and full of hope. It seems to be true now. There is no omnipresent pressure from heaven and earth here. The five of them can fly through the void at full power when they use their Moon Class strength. Their forward speed is extremely fast.
Less than half an hour later, Sun Fei and his group of five were once again shocked.
Along the way, they encountered many extremely rare and exotic flowers and herbs, each with its own value. In the outside world, they would be priceless. Some of them were even comparable to the Dragon Knot Grass in terms of quality, and some were even mature specimens. As they traveled, the five of them went from initial ecstasy and excitement to a somewhat numb and mechanical way of stuffing their storage rings with the contents, as if they were in a dream.
The elderly, powerful man with white hair and beard, whose lifespan was nearing its end, was fortunate enough to obtain a [ Silvery White Charlie ]. This rare and divine herb could directly increase a martial artist's lifespan by fifty years, which was considered heaven-defying. Overjoyed, the elderly man Zongheng joy. For him, fifty years of lifespan meant fifty years of cultivation time, during which he might be able to make a breakthrough and further extend his life.
Sun Fei and the other three powerful individuals also reaped considerable rewards.
As Sun Fei traveled along, he could clearly sense that this world was different from the outside world. The air was filled with rich energy of various elements, and these energies were very gentle and peaceful, unlike the chaotic and disordered energy outside. This made it more suitable for martial artists and mages to cultivate and integrate their energy. For martial artists who were at a bottleneck, it was obviously a Paradise for cultivation.
In addition, the laws of heaven and earth in this space seem to be much clearer. If the laws of heaven and earth in the outside world feel like a wild and unrestrained ink wash painting to martial artists, and only geniuses with extremely high comprehension can understand its artistic conception, then the laws of heaven and earth in this space are like an extremely detailed watercolor painting, with every stroke extremely clear. Anyone with a little martial arts talent can feel and comprehend the laws of heaven and earth here, and quickly improve their realm and strength.
This place is filled with countless rare and precious treasures, and it's also the perfect place for cultivation. No wonder so many people are vying to enter the [ Elemental Gate ].
However, Sun Fei quickly snapped out of his reverie.
"Everyone, I have something very important to attend to, so I must leave alone. We part ways here." Sun Fei waved to the four elderly powerhouses, preparing to depart alone to search for the [ God and Demon Altar ].
Hearing Sun Fei's words, the four elderly powerhouses felt a little reluctant, but they couldn't stop him any longer. The white-haired powerhouse named Lineker thought for a moment and kindly said, "Your Majesty still needs to be careful on the journey. After what happened at the Elemental Altar, I don't think that King Kromkamp of Eindhoven will give up easily. He might harm Your Majesty in this space."
"Yes, I'll be careful about this matter. You all should also be cautious. The King of Eindhoven is incredibly cruel, and I'm worried they might take their anger out on you. Try to avoid him and don't go too deep. I suggest you find a safer place to cultivate in seclusion. After all, we can only stay here for less than a month."
After saying that, Sun Fei's figure flashed, and sword wings composed of hundreds of silver giant swords appeared behind him. With a tremor, he turned into a streak of light before the three of them and disappeared into the distant horizon, as fast as a shooting star.
"This young man is no ordinary person. The King of Eindhoven has been arrogant all his life, but I'm afraid he'll really suffer at the hands of the King of Chambord." Lineker looked thoughtfully in the direction where Sun Fei disappeared.
