Chapter 8 Old Mudskipper, hand over the treasure at once!
Just as Chen Changsheng was astonished, the churning waters suddenly exploded.
"Bang!"
A deafening sonic boom resounded.
In an instant, waves splashed and swirled into the air!
"what?"
Upon witnessing this scene, Chen Changsheng instinctively stepped back a short distance.
"What exactly is going on?"
He muttered to himself, his face full of confusion.
He figured he had come here following the directions on the treasure map.
The treasure hasn't been unearthed yet, so this shouldn't be happening.
Just as Chen Changsheng was stunned, a sound of air being torn apart suddenly came from the exploded waters.
Upon closer inspection, three figures emerged from the water and confronted each other in mid-air!
"Um?"
Upon seeing this, Chen Changsheng was greatly shocked. Without thinking of anything else, he quickly concealed his aura and dodged.
"I knew it!"
"It's not because it's a treasure."
After concealing himself, Chen Changsheng murmured to himself, then turned his gaze and quietly looked at the three figures floating in mid-air.
Upon seeing this, he couldn't help but be shocked.
"That's... a dragon?"
"No! It should be a dragon!"
Chen Changsheng was secretly shocked, his gaze settling on a jet-black dragon.
This dragon was originally a snake that tried to transform into a dragon but failed.
Although it did not transform into a true dragon, it shed its snake body and grew dragon claws and whiskers.
Just one last step away from completely transforming into a dragon!
To Chen Changsheng's surprise, a dragon suddenly emerged from the water.
Shocked, he turned his gaze toward the side confronting the dragon.
There were two people, a man and a woman.
The two were dressed as Taoist novices; the boy wore a green robe with cloud patterns, the sleeves fluttering in the wind.
Although he looks like a child, there is a hint of vicissitude in his brows, indicating that he has been cultivating for quite some time.
In his hand, he held a jade ruler, and on his right wrist was a string of Nine Nether Bone Beads.
The little girl had almond-shaped eyes and a delicate nose; she was petite and exquisite, wearing a seven-colored flowing dress that moved without wind, like surging clouds.
"Who are these two young Taoist disciples?"
"Why are you here?"
"They even got into a fight with a dragon?"
"Could they be after the treasure I haven't even unearthed yet?"
Chen Changsheng secretly guessed.
After thinking about it again, I realized that wasn't the case.
After all, the treasure shown on the treasure map needed to be dug up by him with that shovel.
Even Zhao Gongming hadn't noticed the Three Lights Divine Water that he had previously dug out outside Luofu Cave.
Just as Chen Changsheng was pondering, the young Taoist suddenly pointed the jade ruler he was holding at the dragon:
"You old mudfish, hand over the treasure at once!"
"Otherwise, I'll skin you alive and tear your tendons apart today!"
Upon hearing the young Taoist's words, the dragon swayed its body and glared angrily, coldly snorting:
"snort!"
"I discovered this first!"
"Do you intend to seize it by force or robbery?"
The dragon showed no fear.
In this body of water, a magical herb that has been nurtured for 100,000 years has been born!
In the present-day primordial world, spiritual energy is scarce, and rare and precious materials are no longer as common as they were in ancient times.
A herb that is 100,000 years old can already be called a rare and precious medicine!
He has waited here for a thousand years, hoping that the immortal herb will mature and he can use its medicinal power to transform into a dragon.
But who would have thought that after the immortal herb was picked, two Daoist boys would suddenly appear and try to snatch it away.
Although the two young Taoist disciples were not weak in cultivation, and were at the Earth Immortal level just like him.
However, the dragon would not easily give up such a treasure to others.
Seeing that the dragon had no intention of handing over the treasure, the young Taoist priest's brows furrowed, and he shouted sharply:
"I discovered this a thousand years ago. I never expected that you, you old mudfish, would find it and now you want to keep it for yourself."
A thousand years ago, he and his sister discovered this fruit, but they left it here before it was ripe. Now that it is ripe, it's a pity that someone else has already picked the fruit.
Before the dragon could reply, the female Taoist beside it suddenly interjected:
"Brother, why waste time talking to him?"
"Since he won't hand it over, just kill him!"
After saying that, the female Taoist gave a cold snort and quickly formed hand seals.
"boom!"
Upon closer inspection, a beam of azure light burst forth from her fingertips on her jade-like hand.
The next moment, the countless blue lights transformed into a sky full of vines, heading straight to entwine the dragon!
Seeing this, the young Taoist also acted quickly, swinging his jade ruler with immense magical power, slashing towards the dragon.
"roar!"
The dragon saw this and roared angrily.
"boom……"
The terrifying sound waves rippled outwards, directly repelling the vines that were enveloping him.
Immediately afterwards, its dragon claw swung out fiercely, stirring up towering waves, directly meeting the ruler-like force unleashed by the male Taoist boy.
"Bang bang bang..."
The deafening sonic booms continued, and the force of the ruler that the young Taoist boy wielded was directly broken by the dragon's sharp claws!
"Again!"
Upon seeing this, the young Taoist shouted angrily, and the jade ruler in his hand shone brightly, unleashing even more powerful magic.
At the same time, the female Taoist also made another move, her seven-colored light weaving into a net that enveloped the dragon.
The dragon's expression hardened, its massive body swayed, its magical power surged, and it was fearless.
Next, the three Earth Immortals clashed in battle.
"Boom!"
"Bang! Bang!"
The vast magical power surged endlessly, turning the entire area of the water upside down!
The black tiger, hiding in the shadows, showed no emotion upon seeing this.
He didn't care about the battle between the three Earth Immortals at all; his attention was entirely focused on Chen Changsheng.
……
Seeing such a battle scene, Chen Changsheng was shocked.
"Is this what battles at the immortal level are like?"
"Compared to the mortal realm, it's immeasurably stronger!"
He sighed to himself.
I originally thought that I had broken through to the peak of the mortal realm, the Refining Void and Integrating Dao realm, which was already quite good.
It was only after witnessing the battle between these three Earth Immortals that this was discovered.
Their meager strength in the mortal realm is utterly insignificant compared to that of beings in the immortal realm.
Shocked, Chen Changsheng suddenly sensed something, and his heart trembled.
"this?"
"Why does the magic used by those two young Taoist disciples seem so familiar?"
"It seems to be... the Shangqing Immortal Technique!"
Upon thinking of this, Chen Changsheng was completely astonished.
He hadn't even thought about it yet; his attention was entirely focused on the battle between the three Earth Immortals.
Upon closer reflection, he realized that the magical power wielded by the two Taoist boys was actually of the same lineage as his own!
Zhao Gongming explained it very clearly when he taught him the "Shangqing Immortal Method".
The Shangqing Immortal Method is a unique cultivation method for disciples of the Jie Sect!
"So it is."
"Are these two young Taoist disciples my fellow disciples?"
"I wonder, whose disciples are they?"
Chen Changsheng muttered to himself, never expecting that these two young disciples, like him, were disciples of the Jie Sect.
After a moment's thought, Chen Changsheng composed himself and stopped dwelling on it.
The next moment, with a thought, he directly drew out a celestial sword.
This sword is as white as jade, with a faint purple aura swirling around its blade. It is the Purple Thunder Sword, a top-grade acquired spiritual treasure bestowed upon him by Zhao Gongming!
"Since they are from the same sect, we can't just sit idly by!"
Chen Changsheng said in a low voice, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.
