Chapter 99: The Failure to Attain Sagehood

Jieyin and Zhunti chanted their great vows while observing the changes in the celestial order. Each time they recited these grand aspirations, they inevitably garnered the merits of the Heavenly Dao, which condensed from the void to enhance their foundational merits of establishing their teachings. It seemed that through this method, they could accumulate enough merit to reach sainthood.

In the blink of an eye, the two had, with the aid of their great vows, amassed two clouds of seven-colored merit.

Filled with joy, Jieyin and Zhunti beamed.

Long Dao Ling immediately unleashed all his power. The Hundred Ghosts Sword emitted a black radiance, but unlike before, atop this dark energy burned an intense flame—an underworld black flame he had not used in a long time. The entire sword was ablaze, exuding a dangerous aura.

Meanwhile, Ru Xue did not leave. She continued searching for Qian Feifei, uncertain when she might find her, much like salvaging the missing airplane of the Hang expedition.

Rosa also began consulting with the Asura Ghosts about cultivating her strength. With their guidance, she steadily improved.

As for the true identity of the Night Boss—Yan Jue’s subordinate, the undercover agent, or the French teacher—none were truly clear.

Qin Ting nodded to them, not forgetting her purpose, signaling them to return to their posts.

Seeing his goal achieved, a cold smile gradually spread across Yan Jue’s lips. He suddenly stood up, his tall and upright figure blocking the light above Su Jinse’s head. Suddenly, she felt as though dark clouds had enveloped the previously clear sky.

Gou Sheng nodded and cast aside the morning’s events. After all, no matter how fierce Tang Feng was, he was still a brother.

Fortunately, her quick wit and good memory helped her calm down. She already sensed inconsistencies in Jian Feiyang’s words.

“Please, stop talking,” Su Jinse said anxiously, looking toward the shore, hoping to find a tree trunk or something similar to help them climb up.

Time seemed to slow down completely in Xin Ya’s eyes, to the point where he could clearly observe every move of Ye Zheng! This was not a matter of innate talent, but Xin Ya’s admirable perseverance and willpower. With absolute focus, everything became natural.

“Coach Shen Fu, hello. I’m a reporter from XX Television. Your team’s victory opened the door for the Chinese Olympic contingent. Congratulations.”

In the end, the Radiant Team maintained a steady mindset throughout the competition and secured a spot in the top eight with confidence.

At this point, it was evidently impossible to alter the entire formation talisman. Moreover, such immense power should not be wasted. He hastily devised several circuits for qi flow and created a relatively independent sealing formation—believing that with Qing Ming controlling it nearby, its power would be considerable.

Beside Ye Qinghun, Chen Jinsong’s body was pierced through by a steel beam, hanging against the cabin wall.

By a stroke of fate, after acquiring some cultivation techniques from a dying disciple of the Shadow Devouring Sect, his prowess improved, gradually earning him some reputation.

Li Xun approached the dressing table and reached for the drawer beneath it. Just as her hand touched the handle, her gaze suddenly sharpened.

Yuan Zhenxia roared, pushing Tao Qiquan to the ground with one hand, then immediately struck Maxian heavily with the other. Five red finger marks appeared on Maxian’s delicate face.

At this moment, among the three, Darui and Haige were both bare-chested and bare-legged, wearing only animal pelts around their waists—no one knew from which unfortunate beast the skins had been taken. They had no choice; all their clothes had been blasted to ashes by the Thunder Beast’s lightning, not even one shoe remained.

In the leg compartments, there were crystal nutrient agents, deuterium pellets, and mud sticks. The only special item was the deuterium pellets re-refined by Wang Lao Er, containing fifteen percent more deuterium than ordinary sticks. Because they were granular, they could be used in various special reactors, naturally including fusion batteries.
