Condemning the Heavens

Chapter 367: 367

The others from Chang’an were shocked to see how casual Xue Wei was with handing over the storage treasures, but upon closer inspection, they noticed that only they were given some storage treasures .

Xue Wei gave nothing to his own team, keeping everything for himself . They could not help but feel odd about this . Why would his companions allow Xue Wei to manage their resources?

But no one said anything . It was as if this was a natural occurrence to them, and that it was as it should be .

"Well then, let us move further into the inner reaches of the summer section of this realm," Xue Wei said as he put away their part of the loot before he tossed a few resources to his friends .

Bai Tinayi and Luoluo both received a herb called a Soul Reaping Lily . It was a herb that consumed soul power and stored it .

This was one of the most beneficial things for Luoluo and Bai Tianyi that Xue Wei had in his storage treasures, and he carelessly handed it over .

At the same time, he took out a feather of the Vermilion Bird and gave Hei Gou a Death Stalker . Death Stalker was a herb that was different from other herbs . It had the aura of death and would be able to allow Hei Gou to increase the element of death in his attacks .

Lin Xiao was given some herbs, which focused on Qi cultivation . Although he had touched upon a dao as a Diviner, he was not able to use a particular trait of an element to his Qi just yet .

There were five primary elements . Earth, Metal, Water, Wood, and Fire . Apart from these, there were also a lot of mutated elements, such as death and darkness, as Hei Gou had touched upon .

There was also wind, lightning, light, and so on, as long as one could think about it, then it existed . However, all of them originated from the five primary elements, and these five elements were the strongest of them all, had an overwhelming power and purity that other elements could night fight against .

Elements were connected to Qi . Qi was able to be pure and without an element, but it could also have the assistance from an element, elevating the strength .

Above Qi was the daos . The daos were unable to be easily explained . A dao was a path that one specialized in . There were thousands upon thousands of daos in the world .

When one began to cultivate a dao, they were able to transcend the regular cultivation . Their energy would no longer be mainly controlled by Qi but by a Dao .

Dao was the intent of a path . The dao of the sword meant that one now controlled the energy of a sword . It was no longer just pure Qi .

Xue Wei had not managed to understand a dao just yet . It was not before one had transcended the Saint Realm that one would begin comprehending a dao .

But he did have an elemental affinity to his Qi . Usually, elemental affinities would come when one turned into the Saint Realm or if someone had a sudden breakthrough in one’s strength, which could unlock the elemental affinity .

Just like the mutation for Hei Gou, or Xue Wei’s sudden boost in strength .

A flying ship appeared in the sky, and Xue Wei boarded it before the others followed .

While his friends were now used to this method of transport, the people from Chang’an were deeply shocked, even more, shocked when they realized that essence stones fueled it .

Essence stones were immensely precious back in Chang’an . There were not many mines that produced them, and most of these mines were located deep within danger zones, governed by Primordial Beasts .

As such, essence stones were very hard to get their hands on, but now this Xue Wei was using them for the sake of transport! Such a waste!

Although they were shocked, no one mentioned anything about it . This was Xue Wei’s matter; they had no right to complain about it .

Instead, they began looking through the storage treasures they had gained . Some had a brilliant harvest, while others were not as lucky .

Wang Xiaoyun was the luckiest of them all . She had gotten a whole mountain of essence stones, pills, and herbs .

Xue Wei had given a quick glance into the storage treasures when he threw them out, and although he had been fair, he also felt that Wang Xiaoyun had the most significant accomplishment in the battle apart from Xue Wei and his friends .

The ship was quiet . Everyone was cultivating slowly, using the resources they had gotten their hands on during the time in the Ascended’s Realm .

Although they were more eager to getting cultivation resources than they were of the actual training, they still took the time they had now to cultivate .

The stronger they were, the bigger the chance they had to survive in this hellish place .

Although they had managed to overwhelm the Dongfang and Ouyang families somewhat easily, the truth was that it was not as simple as it had seemed .

Dongfang and Ouyang families had given up on fighting back the moment they knew that they were against a Sovereign Beast, alongside his cultivation base is higher than theirs .

They had thought it would be a big group of cultivators against a small group of five people, but then it had proven to be completely different .

Not only were the five experts much stronger than they had expected, but they also had the support of ten other experts, all of which were highly ranked too .

The Ouyang and Dongfang families were amongst the weakest in the eight great families . Although they were still renowned, they were nothing when compared to the top family, the Nangong family .

Apart from the Nangong family, the other five families also had their own strengths .

The Guan family was known for their explosive battle ability . Although they could not fight a prolonged battle, they could explode with strength, unlike any other .

Even the Nangong Family would have problems dealing with the Guan Family if they ignited their bloodline .

The top three families in the five great families were no laughing matter . If Xue Wei and the others met with just one of the top three families, they would have no chance of survival .

This was after they had teamed up with Wang Xiaoyun and the Chang’an team .

So even though they could handle the weaker groups and teams, they could not easily take on the true hegemons of this world .

Maybe they would have a chance if they once more would manage to team up with the Vermilion Bird Clan . However, the chances of meeting them again were rather small .

Since this was the case, they might as well continue to hunt for treasures in Summer until the time was up .

They were lucky that they had a small treasure finder with them . Luoluo was a spirit, and she was immensely sensitive to energy .

She could feel the places where much essence had gathered, or if there was a place with dense Qi or soul energy .

Everywhere she sensed the energy; their team would descend and pick up the treasures . They left all the more common things and only went for what could be considered seriously rare .

It was not that he was snobbish, but because that after thousands of years being secluded, this world was simply a treasure trove filled with things that no one else could imagine . Some of the items within this realm were even extinct in the outside world .

Sometimes they had to fight against a ferocious beast that would not let them quickly take their treasure; other times, they had to enter tricky environments with powerful inscriptions put up to protect the items . Clearly, some of this had been done by the vermilion bird in a test to the descendants that came to the realm .

Xue Wei was usually standing aside, letting the people from Chang’an out on the front lines . Although they were not happy at the beginning, their displeasure quickly changed to gratitude .

By letting them do the battles, they were getting more and more proficient in using their skills to the best of their abilities .

They also got a bigger cut of the resources . All of them could easily see that Xue Wei was helping them .

But even so, no one complained about it . The friends of Xue Wei would also stay back, killing random beasts that were attracted by the scent of blood or sounds of fighting, ensuring that the Chang’an experts were not rushed or interrupted .

"Liu Jingsheng, I am going to attack it from behind, take some of its focus away!" one of the young Elder’s called out . At this point in time, although they were unhappy with Xue Wei, all of them were genuinely amazed by his strength and maturity .

Even in the face of so many treasures were he able to stay calm and collected, even able to let others benefit more than himself .

What they were unaware of was that Xue Wei had already gotten the biggest harvest of the entire Ascended’s Realm .

Back in the underground world, Xue Wei had emptied room after room and gotten so many rare herbs, pills, weapons, inscriptions, formations, and anything else that he could possibly need .

These few treasures were really nothing to him .

Liu Jingshen, who had been called out, looked at the big snow-white wolf beast that they were currently fighting .

All of them were much braver now than before . They knew that Xue Wei would step in if it became too dangerous, and thus they focused on doing their best to train their skills .

Shadow Clone Duplication!

Liu Jingshen was an ordinary Saint at the first layer . He was touching upon the threshold of having an elemental affinity but was not there entirely yet .

The elemental affinity that he was close to having understood and acquired was the shadows .

Only when using a technique that focused on the element of shadows would he be able to display his strength fully, and this technique was very profound .

Although it had very little battle ability, it was great at confusing the opponent . Instead of one Liu Jingshen, now ten Liu Jingshens were now standing on a line .

All of them moved as one, wielding their swords as they charged at the snow-white wolf beast .

The wolf was not easily defeated though, moments after it saw the ten figures rushing towards it, it bared its fangs and howling loudly before it pounced at the figures that were making it feel pressure .

While Liu Jingshen was giving it his all to attract the attention of the younger Elder, the younger Elder, whose name was Zhang Moyun, snuck up behind the wolf .

Wind Evasion!

Sword Drawing Arts!

He used his movement technique and moments after he was right by the through of the wold, the sword in his hands was drawn in a beautiful arc, and blood splashed .

Wind Evasion!

As soon as the first attack landed, Zhang Moyun used the movement technique once more and vanished from the side of the wolf .

"Everyone retreats ten meters!" he called out .

The wolf was going berserk . It had sustained a severe injury . It had been taken completely unaware by Zhang Moyun, and when it sensed the danger, it was too late .

The sword of Zhang Moyun had landed on its neck and caused a bloody wound to appear; blood was gushing out .

The eyes of the snow-white wolf beast turned completely red, as it turned around and started chasing Zhang Moyun .

Sensing the imminent danger, his expression changed, but he stayed calm .

Wind Evasion!

He continued to use his movement technique while not being too far ahead of the wolf, in an attempt to get it to keep chasing him, bleeding itself to death with the overly vigorous movements .

Xue Wei had disliked Zhang Moyun at the beginning considering that he obviously had taken a fancy to Wang Xiaoyun . Still, upon getting along with him, he realized that he was both smart and rather friendly .
