Chapter 271: Chapter 262: Severely Injured Zhou Wudao_2

"Can it stack?" Su Youyi who is as sweet as a cookie suddenly seemed to think of something, his face lit up excitedly,

"Would you stop absorbing nutrients after having one meal?" Old man Ju rolled his eyes and retorted weakly. "It only increases in difficulty, from easy to hard, and the difficulty in extracting the essence will continue to increase."

Hearing this answer, Liang Yi and Su Youyi exchanged glances, both realizing the terrifying nature of this method.

"Should we say as expected of the Great Dao? No matter which one, it is a uniquely blessed existence, surpassing the imaginations of ordinary folks." Liang Yi was truly shocked by this Great Dao; it was as if this Dao was tailored for loafing around, with a very low cost to execute, only requiring not to eat randomly, and the gains were quite considerable.

If one were to delve into the Mystical Mechanism Continent and loaf around for a thousand or eight hundred years before coming out, who could possibly defeat them? The ability to supplement whatever you eat is indeed powerful.

However, this thing isn’t quite suitable for players. Players are genuinely good at loafing around. But the time isn’t enough, and they can’t keep extending by another second. In the game, even if they eat all day long, they wouldn’t get much attribute enhancement.

Sugarcake Su also thought of this point, and his expression was inexplicably excited. Eating whatever to supplement whatever, right?

He sneaked a peek at Su Youyi’s dramatic bosom and then at his own utterly flat chest; Sugarcake Su secretly resolved to master this trick in this lifetime!

Between the Snow Mountain ranges, outside Fuhua Palace, two figures stood.

Zhou Yuzhi, heart aching, returned the barely half-jar of Snow Lotus Brew to the hundred-miles-deep frozen ground beneath Fuhua Palace; these two beasts were really not polite when drinking others’ liquor.

This Snow Lotus Brew might sound less appealing than the Almond Brew at an ordinary inn, but only Zhou Yuzhi, Chen Hua, and Fang Zhi knew how rare the ingredients were and how significant this jar of liquor was to them. In the past, the three traveled together, wandered around the mountains, and whenever they survived a life-and-death crisis, they would celebrate with this Snowflake Brew that Zhou Yuzhi brought from the Sword Cleanse Heavenly Pool.

Later on, as the three’s realms gradually deepened, with Chen Hua even becoming the foremost under the heavens, the three combined forces to search for various heavenly materials and treasures, and it took Zhou Yuzhi a lot of effort to finally brew this jar of liquor, which had been diminishing over the years.

"Why did Chen Hua come all this way and didn’t bother to walk a few more steps to check the back?" Fang Zhi sat on the side. Even though his face was flushed from drinking, his robe stained with alcohol, making him look like any ordinary drunk.

But upon closer inspection, Fang Zhi’s profound, narrow eyes, known as the most mysterious in the world, still remained absolutely sober, as if everything was visible in front of him.

"So much time has passed already, why fuss over a little more time?" Zhou Yuzhi carelessly sat down next to him, both overlooking the distant Snow Mountain.

"Luckily Zhou Yuqing is still alive, though something seems off. It’s as if her mind was altered by the Sect Hierarch of the Devouring Spirit Sect, but there’s still hope of saving her." Fang Zhi sighed leisurely; that incident truly changed many people’s fates.

"But what’s the matter with that prince of the Immortal Dynasty of Xuanzhou? How come he sustained a fatal wound in the Purple Cloud Phoenix Extreme Secret Realm and was directly transported back to Qingliang?"

Just now, while the three were drinking, they received a message from Emperor Zhou to Zhou Yuzhi, saying that Zhou Wudao encountered some mishap in the Secret Realm and was forced to use his last resort to save his life.

Being transported back to Qingliang Immortal City, he has remained unconscious with severe injuries until now.

"Who do I ask if you ask me? I also asked Meng Zhan; they haven’t seen Zhou Wudao in the Secret Realm of the Purple Cloud Sect at all, only realizing this issue when I just mentioned it."

"There’s a problem. Both Zhiqing and Yu Gejing, and even Liang Yi, had the same situation." Fang Zhi sensed something wrong. As heirs of a Super Force, it’s fine if Meng Zhan didn’t notice Zhou Wudao, but why didn’t Zhiqing and Yu Gejing notice him either? They even didn’t mention a single word about Zhou Wudao in the narration from Liang Yi and others!

"There must be other cultivators in the Secret Realm that haven’t shown their faces, who have erased Zhou Wudao’s existence."

Zhou Yuzhi’s eyes were deep, his right hand unconsciously rubbing the Mingxin Qian Deng sword at his waist, the murderous intent on his body colder than the surrounding cold wind. If anyone dared to make a move within the territory of the Sword Cleanse Heavenly Pool, they better prepare their wills in advance if he finds out.

"Can’t you calculate it? After drinking my liquor, you should hurry up and figure out what is going on." Watching Fang Zhi leisurely preparing to slack off beside him, Zhou Yuzhi bluntly spoke.

"What do you mean your liquor? It’s our three people’s liquor. Do you think I don’t want to calculate? I calculated as soon as we got the news!" Fang Zhi glared, showing dissatisfaction with Zhou Yuzhi’s monopoly over the liquor.

"Stop the chatter, and what’s the result?" Zhou Yuzhi’s eyes lit up, having a talented and calculating brother was truly refreshing.

"I paid a bit of a price, but I didn’t find out anything. I only knew that Zhou Wudao should have encountered that mysterious cultivator after entering the Purple Cloud Sect, then that segment of the Heavenly Mechanism was concealed until he reappeared in Qingliang City, and his life path became clear again." Fang Zhi lifted the sleeve covering his right hand, calmly extending it towards Zhou Yuzhi.

Zhou Yuzhi then realized, Fang Zhi’s usually snow-white right hand now had his index finger turned jet black!

"This aura..." Seeing Fang Zhi’s blackened index finger and feeling the rising aura, Zhou Yuzhi suddenly stood up, his eyes filled with shock.

"It’s the Abyss!"

Fang Zhi’s expression remained normal as he retracted his finger back into his sleeve.

"It’s unclear whether it was the Abyss itself or some other remaining forces of the Abyss that appeared. They managed to erase Zhou Wudao’s presence under so many eyes, causing everyone to subconsciously overlook his existence."

"Observe Zhou Wudao more in the future. If the Abyss or its remnants took direct action, the matter involved must not be trivial."

"Liang Yi and others mentioned that Cang Dong was already killed, right? There was a Sword Immortal from the Taoist Sect present; there shouldn’t be any mistakes." Zhou Yuqing’s hand subconsciously rested on the hilt of his sword, somewhat puzzled by this issue.

"What if there’s not one remaining force of the Abyss, but two?"

Fang Zhi’s gaze was deep, casually catching two snowflakes slowly falling from the sky.

Strangely, one flake instantly melted upon feeling Fang Zhi’s palm’s warmth.

Yet the other flake quietly lay in Fang Zhi’s palm, perfectly intact.

"A great era is about to begin, and the situation is chaotic, everything is in disarray."
