The Lord of Void and Real
Chapter 1495

Chapter 1495: Chapter 1491: Nothing Else Desired Chapter 1495: Chapter 1491: Nothing Else Desired “Just now, who was that figure? We must pursue quickly!” Tao Xiang called out in a low voice, leading the two of them to chase after it immediately.

Although they were affected by the Soul-Devouring Demonic Sound earlier, their senses were not lost; they witnessed the scene where Wanshui Zhenren was rescued and naturally didn't want to let such an easy prey slip away.

Lady Yunxia also recovered, but instead of chasing after them, her gaze flickered, and she turned around to flee into the distance.

If Wanshui Zhenren had fallen into her hands, risking a battle with Fangjin Pavilion and others for Donghua Freelance Immortal's treasures would still be worth it. But now that Wanshui Zhenren was snatched away by a mysterious figure, and since she had already offended Tao Xiang and the others, the risk of continuing to get involved was too great, even life-threatening. Withdrawing was the more prudent course of action.

On the other hand, the Bearded Giant, Tian Sanqi, and Ghost Teng Master didn't give up. After exchanging a glance, they chased in the direction Wanshui Zhenren had left.

The ruins that were just in fierce battle returned to tranquility in a split second.

The Red sword rainbow flew out tens of thousands of miles, changing direction several times along the way. Finally, it landed on a sand dune within the Boundless Sand Sea, revealing Shen Luo's figure, still maintaining the image of a middle-aged man with a charred-yellow complexion.

The ground flashed with Black Qi, and Zhao Feiji's figure emerged from underground, holding the Dragon-burying Flute in his hand.

“Master, this Dragon-burying Flute is too powerful. Paired with my Soul-Devouring Demonic Sound, it more than doubled the potency of the demonic sound,” Zhao Feiji said joyfully.

“Hmph, of course it is. Who do you think crafted this magical treasure?” Fire Spirit Child's proud voice came from within the Netherworld Furnace.

“As long as you're comfortable using it.” Shen Luo nodded, then stimulated the Free and Easy Mirror with a magic spell.

A flash of red light passed, and Wanshui Zhenren materialized, completely immobilized as if under a Binding Talisman.

Shen Luo had sealed his senses and motion when taking him into the Free and Easy Mirror, conveniently affixing a Binding Talisman on his body.

The Free and Easy Mirror contained most of Shen Luo's possessions, and although it was protected with prohibitions, letting Wanshui Zhenren, a stranger, enter necessitated extra precautions.

The Li Huo Beads and Golden Dragon Scissors also appeared beside them, with Wanshui Zhenren's mana sealed, the two treasures emitted a faint Spiritual Light.

Shen Luo reached out to take the Li Huo Beads and examined them. Nodding slightly, he waved his hand and cast a magic spell. A white light flashed over Wanshui Zhenren's body, restoring it to normal.

“So it's Friend Shen, thank you for the rescue,” Wanshui Zhenren didn't flee, glanced at Zhao Feiji and the Dragon-burying Flute next to him, and thanked Shen Luo with a bow.

“It's a trivial matter. I have some things to inquire about with Brother Wan Shui. I was planning to speak with you after the Trading Conference, but you left Tianji City immediately and were surrounded by those people, so I stepped in to take you away from there,” Shen Luo said nonchalantly.

“May I know what Friend Shen wishes to inquire about? The Cave Mansion of Donghua Freelance Immortal? You saved my life, so if you desire this Bi Hai Manta Egg, I am willing to offer it with both hands,” Wanshui Zhenren took out the Bi Hai Manta Egg and handed it over.

“Brother Wan Shui appears to be well-versed in water-based Illusion Techniques. Such a realistic Divine Technique is indeed rare, but the Sunflower Water Extinguish Immortal Bead is no less powerful. I lack the good fortune to possess it,” Shen Luo looked at the Bi Hai Manta Egg and said with a slight smile.

Wanshui Zhenren's pupils shrank slightly, his body trembled, and his hands moved as if about to do something.

“Brother Wan Shui, rest assured, I have no particular interest in this verdant sea ray egg, and the matter I wish to consult you about is unrelated to this item. There's no need for such agitation,” Shen Luo's voice rose again.

His voice was not loud, yet it seemed to contain some indescribable pressure. Wanshui Zhenren had already mustered his mana throughout his body, but upon hearing this voice, his fighting spirit suddenly dissipated, and the surging mana scattered as well.

“Brother Shen's magical powers are astonishing; I am in admiration. May I ask what it is that you would like to inquire about?” Wanshui Zhenren was taken aback for a moment, then gave a wry smile, taking back the verdant sea ray egg and cupped his fist in greeting.

Shen Luo felt a surge of joy in his heart; he had been relentlessly studying the Soul Shaking Secret Technique within the Sky Machine Scroll during this period of time, and had indeed made significant advancements–every word and action of his could now carry a soul-stirring force.

“This must be the 'words followed by spells' mentioned in the Soul Shaking Secret Technique. Having reached this realm, my Soul-shaking Divine Technique has finally come to fruition,” he thought silently.

“At the Trading Conference before, Brother Wan Shui was aware that I was seeking Nine Heavens Gold Essence. I heard from another source that Brother Wan Shui might have a lead on this item, and I'd be grateful for your guidance,” Shen Luo said, slightly bowing his hands.

“So Brother Shen seeks this item; you should've said so earlier. Quite coincidentally, I did come into possession of a piece of Nine Heavens Gold Essence not long ago. In order to repay your life-saving grace, I am willing to offer this piece to Brother Shen unconditionally, so please do not reject it,” said Wanshui Zhenren with a relieved look. He took out a gold-colored stone the size of a fist, dazzling with blinding golden light, and handed it over.

A glimmer of delight appeared in Shen Luo's eyes; this golden stone indeed was the Nine Heavens Gold Essence.

“Then I thank Brother Wan Shui deeply. If it's convenient, could Brother Wan Shui tell me where you obtained this treasure? Could it be from the Donghua Freelance Immortal's cave mentioned before?” Shen Luo did not stand on ceremony and took it, then continued to inquire.

“No, I happened to pick up this item by chance during my trip to Tianji City, when I was passing through the Boundless Sand Sea some time ago,” Wanshui Zhenren shook his head.

“Picked up in the Boundless Sand Sea?” Shen Luo was stunned.

The Boundless Sand Sea was quite barren; how could there possibly appear a Heavenly Treasure like Nine Heavens Gold Essence, which was nearly extinct? Moreover, even if it really existed, the Nine Heavens Gold Essence, abounding in spiritual power and radiance, would be very easy to discover, and should have been picked up by disciples of Tianji City or others long ago. Yet, it was picked up by Wanshui Zhenren, a foreigner!

“It really is quite a coincidence to have been told of this. I am also unsure why a piece of Nine Heavens Gold Essence would end up lost in the Boundless Sand Sea. Nearby, there were some yin attribute minerals, casually strewn across the ground, not even buried by sand, appearing as if they had just fallen from somewhere,” Wanshui Zhenren mused, then said.

“Fallen? Yin attribute minerals? Did Brother Wan Shui collect those minerals?” asked Shen Luo suddenly thinking of a possibility.

“Yes, those yin attribute minerals seemed quite rare, so I collected them,” Wanshui Zhenren waved his sleeve and took out several gray-black minerals.

Shen Luo only glanced at them once, and inwardly exclaimed in affirmation.

These gray-black yin minerals came from the deepest reaches of the Black Abyss Mystery Cave, from within that Yin Yang Cave. It seems that both the Nine Heavens Gold Essence and these yin minerals fell from the spatial rift after the Demon Heart used the blood-colored Bone Staff to shatter the Yin Yang Cave.

“That the Yin Cave actually contained such treasured Nine Heavens Gold Essence! Regrettably, when I was there, I had come in haste and left in haste, without making a thorough investigation!” Shen Luo was filled with remorse.

Now that the Yin Yang Cave had already collapsed, and everything inside it was swallowed by the spatial rift, going back to search would be in vain.

“Does Brother Shen know the origin of this Nine Heavens Gold Essence and the yin minerals?” asked Wanshui Zhenren, curious upon seeing Shen Luo's reaction.

“I know a bit, but the source of the Nine Heavens Gold Essence has been devoured by a spatial rift, and it can no longer be found,” said Shen Luo, who did not conceal the fact since the Yin Yang Cave was destroyed.

“Is that so? That's truly such a pity,” sighed Wanshui Zhenren as well.
