Fourteen "Postnatal Spirit Treasures"!
A full fourteen "Postnatal Spirit Treasures"!
To say that this mortal realm might be a slight exaggeration, but within the "cultivation world of the Great Tang Dynasty," there definitely aren't this many "Postnatal Spirit Treasures"!
So, where did these "Postnatal Spirit Treasures" come from?
Cheating!
Hacking!
Ouyang Hao and Sima Longgen, along with others, began to doubt the world, doubt life itself!
In the end, Ouyang Hao decided to "break the pot and smash it."
He gritted his teeth inwardly, thinking, "So what if there are fourteen 'Postnatal Spirit Treasures'? What's so great about that? Are you people from the 'Eastern Wilderness Mountains' daring to be even more outrageous?"
His wish was granted!
Before Ouyang Hao's thought could even fully form, a sudden change occurred.
Suddenly, a "disciple of the Heavenly Mystery Holy Land," a "family prodigy," seemed to have seen a ghost and screamed out in alarm.
"Heavens, impossible, what is that?"
Hearing this, Sima Longgen and the others felt a jolt.
"Holy hell!
This plotline feels eerily familiar!
Could there be more 'Postnatal Spirit Treasures'..."
Then, they followed the sound and looked.
"Mother of God, Hallelujah!"
A few "family prodigies" fainted directly from sheer shock.
This couldn't be blamed on their "lack of fortitude."
It was simply that the scene they witnessed was too staggering!
Not far away, in a simple, even somewhat "crude" thatched pavilion... lay one "Azure Origin Immortal Sword" after another.
Spiritual light flashed!
Sword energy surged!
The "radiance of Postnatal Spirit Treasures" was almost blinding!
One, two, three...
So many!
Too many!
Their eyes were nearly blinded by the "radiance of the spirit treasures"!
*Bang!*
The sound of a body hitting the ground heavily echoed.
Ouyang Hao could no longer bear it; he fainted!
Fainted from shock!
Sima Longgen, beside him, was no better off.
Sima Longgen's face was pale, his eyes vacant, his entire being as if drained of its vitality.
"Impossible, impossible, impossible..."
He swayed precariously, not far from fainting himself.
How could there be so many "Postnatal Spirit Treasures"?
All added together, there should be about a hundred "Azure Origin Immortal Swords."
"Holy hell!
Is this a 'spirit treasure clearance sale'?"
This is too outrageous!
They couldn't say this earlier, but now the conditions were ripe.
The entire mortal realm, all the "Postnatal Spirit Treasures" combined, shouldn't amount to this many!
Absurd!
Utterly absurd!
Sima Longgen couldn't comprehend, even if killed, why so many "Postnatal Spirit Treasures" would appear in such a desolate place like the "Eastern Wilderness Mountains"?
*Bang!*
Finally, he completely "crashed"!
Having endured too much "shock," Sima Longgen finally followed Ouyang Hao's footsteps, his eyes rolled back, and he collapsed to the ground, fainting.
The remaining "family prodigies" were at a loss.
Who am I?
Where am I?
What should we do now?
...
Their pitiful appearances were like children weighing over two hundred jin.
In the end, True Lord Qingfeng couldn't bear it any longer. He stepped forward to mediate, instructing a group of "Golden Core cultivators" to escort Ouyang Hao, Sima Longgen, and the others to rest in the depths of the "Purple Jade Bamboo Forest."
The next day, Ouyang Hao and Sima Longgen awoke simultaneously.
They met each other's gaze and said in unison.
"I had a nightmare last night!"
"I had a nightmare last night!"
Ouyang Hao's eyes widened, "You had a nightmare too? What did you dream about?"
Sima Longgen replied, "My nightmare felt incredibly real, as if it had actually happened! I dreamed that we were in the Eastern Wilderness Mountains sending out invitations, entered a bamboo forest, and saw a hundred Postnatal Spirit Treasures. Heh heh, a hundred of them, isn't that incredibly absurd..."
As he spoke, Sima Longgen himself started to laugh.
This "dream" was too ridiculous!
A hundred "Postnatal Spirit Treasures," how could that be possible?
Let alone in the "Eastern Wilderness Mountains," this desolate place, even the entire mortal realm combined wouldn't have so many "Postnatal Spirit Treasures"!
Sima Longgen's smile grew wider.
I've been too tired lately, my dreams are so absurd, it's quite amusing... Wait, wait, wait, what's with Ouyang Hao's expression? What does that look of "seeing a ghost" mean?
At this moment, Ouyang Hao's stammering, incredibly shocked voice came through.
"I had the exact same dream. I dreamed we were in the Purple Jade Bamboo Forest of the Eastern Wilderness Mountains, and I also dreamed of a hundred Postnatal Spirit Treasures..."
"Holy hell!"
This is getting a bit strange!
How could two people have the same nightmare?
"Hey!"
"Wait!"
Sima Longgen and Ouyang Hao's eyes widened simultaneously, and expressions of horror and astonishment appeared on both their faces.
Their "nightmares" were so vivid, could it be that they weren't dreams, but actual events that had occurred?
Speaking of which, where is this place?
Ouyang Hao and Sima Longgen suddenly came back to their senses.
How did they inexplicably appear here?
They scanned their surroundings.
Bamboo forest!
This was a vast bamboo forest!
And not ordinary bamboo; all around were "Purple Jade Spirit Bamboos."
"Holy hell!"
So, this was the "Purple Jade Bamboo Forest"!
This meant that what they thought was a "nightmare" was not a dream at all, but something that had truly happened!
"Heavens!"
This is too preposterous!
Ouyang Hao and Sima Longgen felt their vision darken, and the urge to faint returned.
With great effort, the two managed to stabilize their minds.
"Calm down!
Calm down!
We are 'disciples of the Heavenly Mystery Holy Land,' 'prodigies of the four great families,' what haven't we seen? We can't be fazed by such a 'small scene.' It's just a hundred 'Postnatal Spirit Treasures'..."
"Ah!"
No!
The thought of a hundred "Azure Origin Immortal Swords" made Ouyang Hao and Sima Longgen's vision darken, and they couldn't help but feel like fainting.
This "Eastern Wilderness Mountains," which was said to be a "desolate place," why has it become so formidable?
Unacceptable!
Ouyang Hao and Sima Longgen gritted their teeth, declaring their refusal to accept it!
Their "Heavenly Mystery Holy Land" could never be inferior to the "Eastern Wilderness Mountains."
So what if they have more "Postnatal Spirit Treasures"? It's nothing special!
Ouyang Hao and Sima Longgen began to "deceive themselves," constantly "brainwashing" themselves.
"Postnatal Spirit Treasures" don't represent anything!
Their "Heavenly Mystery Holy Land" has abundant spiritual energy, cultivating countless prodigies and masters; this is the "foundation of the Holy Land."
"Yes, yes, that's the reasoning!"
The long-lost "confidence" returned to Ouyang Hao and Sima Longgen.
Then, a "disciple of the Heavenly Mystery Holy Land," a "family prodigy" nearby, suddenly woke up.
After waking up, the person stared fixedly in a certain direction, as if possessed, muttering to himself.
"Impossible, impossible, I must have seen it wrong..."
*Bang!*
The fellow collapsed again, fainting.
