The firegold raven and both the cuisines in the two iron pots had been fully cooked, and the fragrance became stronger.
All the monks rushed toward the cuisines. Everyone tried to get as much food as they could, and after only a short while, everyone was finished.
There was indeed powerful essence in the cuisines. Everyone felt that there was heat ascending in their bodies, and they felt like they were in heaven.
“Pi Pa!”
A great being from Murong clan who was a pinnacle level-seven half saint made his breakthrough and reached elementary level-nine half saint.
Certainly, his cultivation was solid enough that he was only a small step away from a level-eight half saint. The energy contained in the food only accelerated that process.
Murong Yue had just reached level-three half saint, and after she ate the cuisine prepared by Qing Mo, she made another breakthrough and reached upper-class level-three half-saint.
Other monks also greatly improved their cultivation.
Sun Dadi’s face was glowing, and he looked particularly excited. He looked at Qing Mo as if he were worshipping her, and he said, “After eating what Ms. Qing Mo made, I feel like I have taken half a divine medicine pill. I think I’ve made another breakthrough in my cultivation, and I’ll be going through Four Nine Trial lately.”
Everyone was excited, and they all looked at Qing Mo as if she was a goddess.
Only Zhang Ruochen looked very serious. He was standing at the edge of the invisibility formation. He put his hand at his back and looked at the direction of the ground crack.
He heard someone breeze along from behind.
He also smelled a light fragrance with it.
Huang Yanchen was holding a delicate jade bowl, and she gave Zhang Ruochen a bowl of hot meat soup. She asked, “Qing Mo is very good at cooking…do you want to try it? This is the last bowl of soup.”
Zhang Ruochen took the jade bowl, held it in his hand to feel the warmth from the bowl, then he drank the soup up.
“Not angry anymore?”
Huang Yanchen saw Zhang Ruochen drink up the meat soup, and she was relieved.
Zhang Ruochen smiled and said, “Do you really think I’m that petty? I was just pondering how to get the saintly source spring as fast as possible.”
And then, Zhang Ruochen transmitted his voice to call Zhao Shiqi and Blackie here.
“How many savage beasts did you subdue, Zhao Shiqi?” Zhang Ruochen asked.
“Five upper-class level-six savage beasts, six middle-class level six savage beasts and nine lower-class level-six savage beasts. In total, there were twenty of them,” Zhao Shiqi said.
“You have so many of them!”
Zhang Ruochen was a bit surprised, but then, he smiled. He thought, I need to make the best use of these savage beasts.
The power of level-six savage beasts was at the same level as that of half saints of the human monks.
Twenty level-six savage beasts were as powerful as twenty half saints.
“Leave all the savage beasts to Blackie.” Zhang Ruochen made a decision.
After a short while, Blackie took all the twenty level-six savage beasts and walked toward the ground crack. He got into the group of savage beasts.
This was a scheme Zhang Ruochen had designed for Blackie and those savage beasts to seize the saintly source spring. As long as they could succeed, Zhang Ruochen didn’t need to share the spring with Wan Huayu and other human monks in Yingsha City.
Everyone wanted the saintly source spring all to themselves.
If Zhang Ruochen could get the saintly source spring, Sacred Sect would be able to cultivate a large group of half saints.
Of course, that was plan A for Zhang Ruochen. If Blackie failed, he had to resort to plan B, which was to cooperate with other human monks.
After half a day, the ground which was tens of thousands of square miles started to shake again, making rumbling noises.
The continents started to move again.
The crack tens of miles away started extending, and it became wider and wider.
“The saintly source spring is about to come out.”
Zhang Ruochen immediately put away the Universe Spiritual Map, then he arranged tasks for everyone. “Sikong One, Sikong Two, Sun Dadi, follow me to get the saintly source spring. As for the others, leave here immediately to reinforce us in Nisha River three thousand miles away.”
Huang Yanchen moved her lips. She meant to say something, but she didn’t object. She led the rest of the monks out of the invisibility formation and headed toward Nisha River.
After a short while, Wan Huayu, Feng Wanli, Huoyuan Elder and Jing Yi Half-Saint all arrived. They entered the invisibility formation and met with Zhang Ruochen and the others.
Huoyuan Elder looked around with his hoary eyes, smiled and said, “Deity, I admire your bravery. You dare station your forces in a place so close to the savage beasts. Aren’t you afraid that those beast kings might sense you?”
Zhang Ruochen looked confident. He said, “I chose to be stationed here because I’m sure that no savage beast can find us.”
“Perhaps the heir has collected lots of saintly source sacred liquid, right?” Feng Wanli said.
Zhang Ruochen shot a glance at him and said, “The amount of saintly source sacred liquid I have has nothing to do with you, right?”
The tent of Feng family was very far, so the saintly source spiritual Qi there was pretty thin, which was why they couldn’t collect the saintly source sacred liquid.
Feng Wanli was still very jealous.
Feng Wanli looked to Sun Dadi, Sikong One and Sikong Two. He felt that the three masters looked intimidating, so he shut up and stopped arguing with Zhang Ruochen.
“Hong Long.”
There was the sound of hoofs stepping on the ground, and there was yellow sand waving in the air.
Apparently, those savage beasts also knew that the saintly source spring was about to come out, so they rushed toward it in groups, gathering around the edge of the crack in the ground.
There were large groups of savage beast firegold ravens, snow mountain blue eagles and Shizu birds. Each of them was powerful, emanating amazing energy waves.
They were looking down from the sky. The second they saw the human monks, they would kill them instantly.
“Hou!”
Golden Scorpion King climbed out of the desert. The sky and the land were both shaking. It was roaring as if it was making a protest, intimidating those human monks who tried to seize the saintly source spring.
Everyone in the invisibility formation was standing more than one hundred miles away, yet they could still feel their organs quivering. One could imagine how terrific the energy ripples from the Golden Scorpion King were.
“Golden Scorpion King is ranked fifty-sixth on ‘Half-Saint Rank.’ It is a terrifying being,” Wan Huayu said.
Feng Wanli, Jing Yi Half Saint and Huoyuan Elder all looked pale.
With their cultivation, they were likely to die if they fought Golden Scorpion King.
“Perhaps only masters like Sikong One and Sikong Two are powerful enough to resist Golden Scorpion King,” Jing Yi Half Saint said.
After a short while, roaring sounds from beast kings was transmitted from the ground crack again.
Many savage beasts were standing at the front, looking vast and mighty, awing people who saw them.
Facing such an enormous group of savage beasts, even the great masters in the State of Saint would have to flee instead of confronting them directly.
Previously, people still had some hope on seizing the saintly source spring, but now, they felt helpless even with their cultivation.
However, they were already in the warzone now, so even if they only stood a chance of one in ten thousand, they needed to try their best.
“Hua!”
Large amount of seven-colored saintly source spiritual Qi gushed out of the crack.
The sky and the land were connected by the flowing-light waterfall which had seven colors, forming an incredibly miraculous and mysterious scene as if the world were divided into two parts.
Human monks in Yingsha City rushed to the city door from all four directions. Some of them rushed toward the ground crack to seize the saintly source spring.
Some human monks, instead, rushed toward the desert to seize the chance to get out of the encirclement of savage beasts.
“Do you really think you’re qualified to seize the saintly source spring?”
Sky-swallowing Demonic Dragon surged. It was breathing black demonic air. All of a sudden, the human monks gave a blood-curdling scream.
At the same time, hundreds of human masters fell on the ground, and their bodies were sizzling, turning into puddles of puss.
“I’ll fight you, Sky-swallowing Demonic Dragon.”
A trace of golden light shuttle flew out of the group, and it condensed into the figure of Chi Wansui. It surged and rushed toward Sky-swallowing Demonic Dragon.
“You were defeated by me before, and you dare challenge me? Do you want to die?” Sky-swallowing Demonic Dragon said.
“If I’m helping, it should be enough, right?”
Beigong Lan pointed her finger, and a green divine rapier flew out of the sheath. It hit toward the head of Sky-swallowing Demonic Dragon with thousands of sword forces.
The two heirs made attacks at the same time, and they finally successfully suppressed Sky-swallowing Demonic Dragon.
However, the fight on the ground was still wretched. There were much more savage beasts than human monks, so no human monks could even get close to the ground crack.
Most of the savage beasts close to the ground crack rushed toward Yingsha City as they wanted to take the chance to kill all the human monks.
“It’s time for us to act!”
Wan Huayu looked pleased.
Feng Wanli typed a signal first to send a message to the monks from the Feng family.
After a short while, a black cloud hovered over and covered the crack on the ground completely, and the ground turned dark.
Chilly wind blew, and a crying sound came from the wind.
Balls of green ghostly flames fell from the sky and toward the savage beasts.
“Ci La!”
A level-four savage beast started to burn after being touched by the ghostly flames, and it was burned to ashes.
Some savage beasts were attacked by the dead souls and demonic spirits. Their bodies twitched and fell on the ground, breathless.
“Feng family members are also great at ghost cultivation techniques? Did they also descend from one of the Royal Ancient Ghost Cultivation Races?” Zhang Ruochn shot a glance at Feng Wanli and looked confused.
The last name of royal families of the Royal Ancient Ghost Cultivation Race was Feng.
“Wu Wu!”
At this moment, hundreds of thousands of dead souls and demonic spirits were performing all sorts of attacking skills above the savage beasts.
Although they were only powerful enough to kill level-four savage beasts, they caused panic among the savage beasts, who all became fiery.
