Chapter 685: Myriad Flower Palace

Moments later.

On the other side of the island, a stocky figure sat cross-legged by a stream. The figure’s back had a row of spikes and six curved black horns on his head. While sitting there, the surrounding space slowly collapsed and then slowly restored.

He sat there silently.

Once upon a time, he was an existence that countless worlds feared in his homeland; his name enough to make deities tremble. Although he was invincible in his homeworld, he felt that he was just short of understanding the Heavenly Dao, Myriad Objects, and their interactions. To seek a breakthrough, he came to the spatial tide in search or stronger opponents.

He was indeed powerful as he became a hunter in the spatial tide. He hunted beings from other universes and sought out the cultivation systems these beings cultivated in.

However, he was eventually subdued at the hands of the Island Lord, and from then on, his life was completely controlled by him.

A once supreme existence who shook entire worlds had been reduced to such a state…

“Brother Mochen.” A silver-haired man came to the side of the stream and smiled at the stocky figure.

The stocky figure looked up as a formless, domineering aura inundated the silver-haired man. He could not help but falter as he thought to himself, “To have his body cultivated to the half-step Primordial realm sure is terrifying.”

Primordial realm.

The beginning of everything; the source of the universe.

The Primordial realm had different names in different places. It was known as the Heavenly Dao realm in the Three Realms.

“Is there a reason why you are looking for me?” asked Mochen indifferently.

“Fifth Supremacy is dead,” said the silver-haired man with a smile. “Island Lord has ordered that you bring your men to kill those murderers.”

“How could she die when she has the Nine Netherworld Ship?” asked Mochen.

“Fifth Supremacy encountered four experts from another universe…” The silver-haired man recounted the situation. “That was what happened.”

Mochen scoffed. “She did not escape immediately after having the Nine Netherworld Ship snatched from her? Did she really think that the enemy couldn’t injure her due to her unique powers? Only when one’s body is truly powerful can one be considered powerful. Just relying on having unique powers is fatal once one encounters an enemy who’s strong against them.”

“Yes, yes,” concurred the silver-haired man. “Brother Mochen doesn’t rely on external objects and has an invincible body. Killing them would naturally be easy for you.”

“Didn’t I still end up being subdued by the Island Lord?” said Mochen indifferently.

“How many in the spatial tide can match Island Lord?” said the silver-haired man with a laugh.

Mochen remained silent.

Island Lord…

He was a monster! An unfathomable monster. Despite having cultivated his body to the half-step Primordial realm, he was still completely trounced by the Island Lord.

“Island Lord wants you, the Third Supremacy, to set off immediately,” said he silver-haired man. “I will tell you in real-time where the four experts are via spatial worms. By the way, the one that’s good at snatching treasures and the one good at archery are to be captured alive. After all, they are of use to Island Lord. The others are mediocre and can be killed directly.”

“Alright.” Mochen stood up and immediately sent a voice transmission command. “Five of you, set off with me.”

Soon.

Mochen led five subordinates and rapidly departed the island on a silver flying boat.

…

The silver flying boat was specially refined by the Island Lord and was meant for flying in the spatial tide. Among the numerous Supremacies under the Island Lord, only the first three were bestowed with such a flying boat.

The flying boat traveled at abnormal speeds, tens of times faster than Qin Yun and company. It was indeed quite frightening.

In a blink of an eye, the silver flying boat traveled for more than two years.

It was very common to spend two to three years traveling in the spatial tide.

Mochen stood at the bow of the flying boat as he looked coldly at the endless spatial tide. Behind him were his five subordinates who were waiting reverently.

“Whoosh.” A spatial worm appeared above the flying boat and manifested the projection of a silver-haired man. He said with a smile, “Brother Mochen, I’m here to tell you something.”

“Speak,” said Mochen coldly.

“From the trajectory the four experts are taking, they are likely headed for Myriad Flower Palace,” said the silver-haired projection. “You should know that Island Lord has always been hoping to capture the Palatial Lord Myriad Flower. However, his life-preservation skills are just too potent, and it’s constantly neighboring a Chaos spatial rift. He can flee into it at any time which makes it difficult for Island Lord to capture him.”

“What are you implying?” Mochen narrowed his eyes.

“Capturing Palatial Lord Myriad Flower is worth ten credits,” said the projection with a smile. “You will only get three credits from dealing with the four other-universe experts. From my point of view, you can first rush to Myriad Flower Palace and hide. Let the four fight Palatial Lord Myriad Flower and then take action when the opportunity arises.”

A glimmer flashed in Mochen’s eyes. “Ten credits…”

“If you could capture Palatial Lord Myriad Flower, giving up the four other-universe experts would be worth it,” said the silver-haired man.

“Yes.” Mochen nodded. “I’m aware of what I should do.”

Credit was very important to him. Credits were a currency set by the Island Lord which could be used to exchange for various benefits. If he amassed a hundred credits, they could be exchanged for his freedom!

Qin Yun and company continued on their journey in high spirits after splitting the treasures. They were headed for their first target.

As for the owner of the Nine Netherworld Ship… she was never in the plans, so for her to suddenly appear in a bid to kill them, they naturally got rid of her in passing.

“We have been away from the Three Realms for twelve years. We will soon arrive at our first destination,” said Goumang with a smile. “There’s very little information about this target, and the only thing we know is that it’s an other-universe expert with immense charms. Even perfected Great Dao experts would be influenced by his allures.”

“Alarming allures usually mean that he cultivates in charming means,” said Hou Yi. “The means available to him would be mostly strange and unpredictable, but that would mean that his direct combat means are weaker.”

“If he has strange means, we will be relying on Brother Kong Xuan,” said Qin Yun with a smile. “No matter what treasures he uses, we will take them first. Immediately, his strength will be halved.”

“There are some treasures that are impossible for me to take,” said Kong Xuan with a smile.

“Don’t be careless. He might be stronger than we expect,” said Hou Yi.

The four of them conversed amid laughter, apparently filled with confidence.

Sword Immortal Qin’s protective means matched with Kong Xuan’s domain allowed them to fend off a Heavenly Dao realm existence. With them in an invincible state, they naturally could have the patience to find the weakness of their opponents and finish them.

“We’ll be reaching soon,” said Kong Xuan suddenly.

Qin Yun and company looked into the distance.

Although they were still rather far away, with the journey still needing another two hours, their eyesight allowed them to see a palace floating in the spatial tide. It was enveloped in a pink barrier of light.

…

Qin Yun and company were about to arrive at Myriad Flower Palace.

Inside the palace, a red-dressed man with astounding charms was leaning on a column weakly. He was looking at a sea of flowers in front of him inside the palace.

“I’ve failed again,” the man muttered.

“I’m good at array formations to begin with and have been studying arduously in the spatial tide. Just my array formations alone have reached the half-step Primordial realm, and that’s considered rare in the entire spatial tide. It’s probably not easy to find someone better than me, but I’m still unable to crack this mountain valley and enter it.

“Despite being able to see it, I just can’t enter it.

“Cracking the array formation either needs great mastery with array formations, or overwhelming force. Perhaps to crack it by overwhelming force, I’ll need to produce strength at the Primordial realm before having a chance of entering the valley. But if an existence of that nature were to enter the valley, none of the treasures inside will be mine.” The red-dressed man shook his head. “The memento that points me to this valley is in my hand. Only I can find this valley. I can slowly wait.”

“I’ll definitely think of a way to enter the valley.”

The man closed his eyes and began thinking of solutions to enter the valley.

“Oh?”

The red-dressed man suddenly opened his slender eyes.

“Enemies are approaching, and four at that?” The man sneered. “Very well. My Myriad Flower Palace can have more fertilizer now.”
