As Yuan Chen's life force extinguished, the death of this only saint in the entire Zhengde world caused all living beings in the world to notice something amiss.
The saint shed blood, and heaven and earth grieved, sending down a torrential rain as red as blood, which poured down and submerged the earth.
In the blood-red rain, the mountains and rivers lost their color, the sun and moon lost their light, and the once vibrant nature became deathly silent, as if it had lost its soul.
The rivers on earth were stained red with blood, flowing with a sorrowful melody; the mountains and rivers were draped in a blood-red coat, appearing particularly desolate.
Cao Zhengchun coldly observed the situation within the world and suddenly said, "Is this a scene where there is no sage presiding over a Heavenly Dao world?"
“I remember even when I killed several saints in the Boundless World, there wasn’t such a desolate scene,” the sweeping monk said.
"Hmph! That's because I was the first to refine the Heavenly Dao of the Boundless World and was able to control it. I killed the people, so how could I let the world fall into desolation?" Cao Zhengchun said disdainfully.
After the Heavenly Dao disappeared and the world returned to normal, Cao Zhengchun said, "Youxi, there are currently no Saint-level experts in the entire Zhengde World. Choose one of you to harvest the immortal crystals of the Zhengde World here."
Yang Cheng said, "I'll take care of it. You all go to other worlds quickly. I'll leave this place to you."
Cao Zhengchun nodded, occasionally adding, "Yang Cheng, I'm leaving this to you. Remember, it's all the immortal crystals. I'll dig a hundred miles into the ground if necessary. I only want the immortal crystals; I have no interest in anything else!"
Yang Cheng seemed somewhat excited upon hearing this. Immortal crystals were of no use to them, but how could a Heavenly Dao World be without other rare treasures? Although there were very few treasures useful to saints, wouldn't it be wonderful to harvest them all and then bestow them upon the people of his own world?
Since his own world also needs to contribute immortal crystals, he can use the treasures of the Zhengde world to fill his own world, so it's not too much of a loss.
With this in mind, he patted his chest and assured, "Fellow Daoist, rest assured, I will definitely wipe this world clean within a few decades!"
Cao Zhengchun taught him a secret technique. This technique had no other use than to move immortal crystals. Once used, it would directly move the immortal crystals to Meng Fan.
After giving a few instructions, Cao Zhengchun led the remaining people to quickly traverse the Chaos Sea. In a flash, they arrived at another world entrance.
However, they arrived too late; when they got there, only Murong Hao was there.
Murong Hao has been cultivating in the Cloud Palace for many years. With the amplification of the great formation, his cultivation has reached the Great Luo Realm.
"Murong Hao greets the two elders and all the seniors."
Faced with Cao Zhengchun's unfriendly expression, Murong Hao naturally approached cautiously to pay his respects.
"Where is your master, Xiong Ba?"
"Reporting to Elder Cao, my master directly annihilated the two saints of this world, and then wiped out all the quasi-saints in this world. He also wiped out eighty or ninety percent of the Great Luo realm. After that, he left me here to harvest immortal crystals and went to other worlds."
Cao Zhengchun's face was as cold as ice, and he snorted, "Which elder did your master travel with?"
Murong Hao hesitated and said, "Elder Cao, my master specifically instructed that this matter should not be discussed."
"You bastard! How can you be so ungrateful?"
Murong Hao quickly bowed and said, "I cannot disobey my master's orders. I hope the elder will not make things difficult for me!"
Upon seeing this, the sweeping monk laughed and said, "Old Cao, take a look. Our third-generation disciples of Yunxiao Palace are several times stronger than that chosen one you took in."
"Hmph!" Cao Zhengchun snorted coldly and said no more.
Murong Hao looked at the sweeping monk gratefully and said, "This disciple thanks the elder."
The sweeping monk said kindly, "Murong Hao, I see that your cultivation is somewhat unstable and not steady enough. What's going on?"
Murong Hao replied, "Elder, I have just broken through to the Great Luo realm, and my cultivation level is somewhat unstable."
The sweeping monk said, "As a third-generation disciple of Yunxiao Palace, the right path is to accumulate experience naturally and advance in cultivation. Is your cultivation somewhat unstable because you forcibly broke through your realm?"
Murong Hao quickly replied, "Elder, I have accumulated enough experience, but I was in seclusion when you came. I forced myself to come out of seclusion, which is why my cultivation level is like this."
The sweeping monk said with a look of satisfaction, "Studying is like farming; you know whether you are diligent or lazy. I am very pleased that you have such a respectful heart. Here's what I'll do: I will personally straighten out your foundation. This twelve-petaled golden lotus of merit will help you return to your original state and reach the realm of oneness with heaven and man. In this way, your cultivation speed will definitely rank among the top among the third-generation disciples."
With a flick of his sleeve, the sweeping monk conjured a dazzling golden lotus throne beneath Murong Hao.
The moment the rich golden aura emanating from the golden lotus touched Murong Hao's body, he immediately felt a powerful and mysterious force continuously flowing into his body.
Under the influence of this strange power, his previously somewhat unstable cultivation began to solidify at an astonishing speed!
Murong Hao felt as if he were in a warm ocean, his entire body enveloped in an indescribable sense of comfort.
In a daze, he saw himself become the number one among the third-generation disciples of Yunxiao Palace, and even received praise from Meng Fan, who personally gave him a sermon...
At this moment, what the outside world saw was Murong Hao's eyes losing focus, and he muttered to himself like a madman, "Thank you very much, Elder."
Seeing Murong Hao's performance, the Sweeper Monk's expression became even more kind and approachable.
He spoke softly, his voice as beautiful as heavenly music, as if it contained all the beautiful emotions in the world.
Every word and every sentence was like a key to unlocking the door of wisdom, deeply imprinted in Murong Hao's mind.
"No need to be polite. As an elder of Yunxiao Palace, it is my responsibility to solve problems for you third-generation disciples."
The sweeping monk emitted a faint glow, and then said, "Let's go to your secluded place."
After speaking, the Sweeping Monk slowly extended his right hand, gesturing for Murong Hao to follow his steps.
Murong Hao was no match for the sweeping monk's spiritual guidance. Hearing this, he became dazed and followed the sweeping monk.
The sweeping monk turned and gave Cao Zhengchun a look.
The two worked together seamlessly and naturally understood what the Sweeping Monk meant.
He said to the dumbfounded Youxi and the others, "One of you stay here to harvest the immortal crystals. If that kid wakes up in the middle, you must not hurt him or fight with him. Just retreat."
Youxi and the others were speechless as they watched the two men's actions. These two were so shameless that they even tried to seduce their own juniors in order to collect immortal crystals!
Of course, they also realized two things: one was that the elders of Yunxiao Palace seemed to be desperately collecting immortal crystals.
The second thing is that, apart from not killing their own people, they will stop at nothing to collect immortal crystals!
