Chapter 2943
“Enough with the games! You two need to focus on your cultivation. With your current strength, you won’t stand a chance in the Celestial Realm,” Kai urged.
“Even though the Gao family is safe for now, it’s crucial to cultivate quickly…”
“I have some Heavenly Thunder Fruits here. Each of you take one; they should significantly enhance your abilities,” Kai said, pulling out two Heavenly Thunder Fruits and handing them to the pair.
“Heavenly Thunder Fruits? Aren’t those exclusive to the Thunder Eagle King’s Heavenly Thunder Tree?”
“How did Master manage to obtain these? The Thunder Eagle King guards the Heavenly Thunder Fruit fiercely,” the Fire Phoenix exclaimed in astonishment.
“You’re familiar with the Heavenly Thunder Fruit?” Kai asked, surprised by the Fire Phoenix’s knowledge.
“Master, I used to live in the Celestial Human Realm before I was banished to the Mundane Realm for a mistake. So yes, I know all about the Heavenly Thunder Fruit,” the Fire Phoenix explained, following Kai closely.
Realization struck Kai as he shared, “I took advantage of the Thunder Eagle King’s absence to secretly gather a few. It’s not easy to pick them.”
“You’re right, Fire Phoenix. We need to make the most of our time to cultivate, or we risk becoming a burden to Kai,” Yu Jia Meng nodded in agreement.
“Alright then, I’ll begin my cultivation…” the Fire Phoenix replied, also nodding.
The two girls accepted the Heavenly Thunder Fruits and set off to cultivate, while Kai focused on regaining his strength and entered into a state of cultivation himself.
He needed to break through quickly; otherwise, he would struggle to find the real treasure and might also end up with the Ice Pill Pill!
Kai concentrated on absorbing the Ice Pill Fragment given to him by Gao Qiqiang, diving deep into the process of refining it.
The absorption of the Ice Soul Fragment was swift, so the refining wouldn’t take long!
As Kai immersed himself in cultivation, a colossal ice mountain crumbled hundreds of miles away from the Gao family!
Where the mountain had fallen, a golden gate emerged, adorned with runes that radiated an eerie aura!
A crowd of cultivators had gathered before this gate!
“This has to be the treasure location; there’s no doubt about it. Can’t you see the jade gap on that gate?”
“Just the scent alone indicates it must be a treasure site!”
“Who would have thought that the treasure would be concealed beneath this entire iceberg? Without its collapse, we would never have discovered it.”
The crowd buzzed with excitement!
However, the gate was sealed by a spell formation that could only be unlocked with a key—a jade tablet!
“I have the key to this treasure; I wonder if any Daoists would like to collaborate with me?” called out a fifth-grade cultivator from the Harmony Realm.
This was Yuan Bao, the individual Kai had saved. He held up a jade token, claiming it was the key to the treasure!
Upon hearing that Yuan Bao possessed the key, the crowd rushed toward him!
Many had tried and failed to force the treasure door open, so when they learned Yuan Bao had the key, they were eager to gather around!
“Step aside, please…”
Just as the crowd closed in on Yuan Bao, a sudden, commanding voice broke through, causing discontent among the onlookers!
The crowd turned to see five men clad in black tunics with dark golden markings on their sleeves approaching!
Recognizing these men, the disgruntled cultivators immediately scattered in all directions, clearly fearful of them!
The leader, a middle-aged man, announced, “We are the Five Elements Heavenly Furies from the Demon Sealing Alliance. I am the Golden Fury. Hand over the treasure key to me…”
Yuan Bao’s expression turned anxious, his face drained of color as cold sweat dripped down his forehead!
He hadn’t anticipated encountering members of the Demon Sealing Alliance in this remote northern land!
