Unbelievable!
Absolutely preposterous!
Hao Ren took a full half a day to recover, still unable to fully process it.
It was too outrageous!
Originally, he thought Yun Zhenting's acquisition of the "First Bronze Ancient Lamp" was already ridiculous.
The "Dragon Soul Death Warriors" losing the "Bronze Ancient Lamp" right after appearing, and coincidentally letting Yun Zhenting pick it up, how incredibly absurd was that!
But in retrospect, Hao Ren was still too young!
This was nothing compared to the current situation!
Compared to this latest development with Wang Tenglong, Yun Zhenting's was hardly worth mentioning!
Wang Tenglong didn't even bother with the "Bronze Ancient Lamp"; he directly dealt with the "Second Bronze Ancient Lamp."
The process was simple: Wang Tenglong merely saved a girl, described as "I kill, I am cold-blooded, but I am still a good girl," known as "Dragon Soul One."
Furthermore, to heal "Dragon Soul One's" injuries, Wang Tenglong casually engaged in "dual cultivation" with her.
Just casually, truly casually, it was merely "ten thousand words omitted here," taking approximately a day, or rather... one day, just one day!
Then, "Dragon Soul One" was "persuaded."
She decided to abandon her identity as a "Dragon Soul Death Warrior" and live a "shameless" life with Wang Tenglong from then on.
"Dragon Soul One" personally destroyed the "Bronze Ancient Lamp"!
Hao Ren

He knelt!
He knelt before the great god Wang Tenglong!
When it came to "dual cultivation," Wang Tenglong never disappointed!
Awesome!
"Harem Protagonist Template" yyds!
Wang Tenglong had completed his task. Hao Ren wondered about the situation of another "Protagonist Template Character" he had selected, his second disciple, Han Mo.
[Ding! Your second disciple "Han Mo" has been teleported into the "Cave Profound Secret Realm"]
[Ding! Your second disciple "Han Mo" dug a hole on the spot and hid within, concealing his tracks]
...
Dug a hole and hid?
This...
As expected of him, the "old schemer" Han Mo!
Hao Ren was greatly pleased with Han Mo's actions.
Very good!
Extremely good!
As a "hermit cultivator," Han Mo had perfectly inherited Hao Ren's spirit of "hiding."
"Hiding" with style!
"Hiding" with elevation!
...
Han Mo remained "hidden" for a full three days.
During these three days, the "Cave Profound Secret Realm" was bustling with activity and full of excitement.
Many cultivators had fortuitous encounters.
Some found spiritual herbs that were ten thousand years old.
Some discovered ancient divine ability inheritances.
Of course.
More cultivators met with misfortune.
Some were attacked by powerful demonic beasts within the "Cave Profound Secret Realm" and were devoured whole, flesh and bone.
Some found "great treasures," only to be targeted by other cultivators who coveted them, leading to murder for gain.
Within the entire "Cave Profound Secret Realm," bloody slaughter occurred every moment.
Han Mo remained hidden underground, maintaining a "hibernation state," completely still.
And today, not far from where Han Mo was hidden, two "unwelcome guests" suddenly arrived.
One was a grey-robed middle-aged male cultivator.
The other was a blue-robed young male cultivator.
These two were engaged in a fierce battle.
The grey-robed male cultivator had a higher cultivation realm and was more powerful!
The blue-robed male cultivator was constantly suppressed and was already suffering multiple injuries, in a sorry state.
The blue-robed male cultivator glared furiously at the grey-robed male cultivator and shouted.
"Senior Brother Zhou, are you truly going to show me no mercy!"
The grey-robed male cultivator laughed heartily.
"Junior Brother Wu, as long as you obediently hand over that Dragon Pattern Grass to me, I will let you live!"
"Dream on! The Dragon Pattern Grass is a fortuitous encounter I found through immense hardship, my hope for breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm. I will never give it to you!"
"Heh heh, Junior Brother Wu, why are you so obstinate! The Dragon Pattern Grass is good, but life is more important. To lose your life for a spiritual grass is not worth it!"
"Zhou, we are fellow disciples. For a mere Dragon Pattern Grass, you are relentlessly hunting me. After we return, I will report this to the Sect Master True Lord and have you punished!"
The blue-robed male cultivator threatened fiercely.
The grey-robed male cultivator's expression abruptly changed.
Clearly, the blue-robed male cultivator's words had hit a nerve.
Hunting a fellow disciple for a "Dragon Pattern Grass" was a despicable act, scorned by righteous sects.
Once word got out, not only would the grey-robed male cultivator's reputation be ruined, but he would also face the sect's most severe punishment...
The grey-robed male cultivator's expression shifted multiple times, his eyes filled with cold light, and a chilling killing intent emanated from him.
"Junior Brother Wu, thank you for the reminder! I had initially intended to spare your life, but now it seems I must kill you!"
As soon as the grey-robed male cultivator finished speaking, he formed sword seals with his hands.
Clang!
The sound of a sword resonating like a dragon's roar echoed.
His flying sword magical artifact tore through the sky, fiercely attacking the blue-robed male cultivator.
The blue-robed male cultivator, while cursing, met the attack.
Clash! Bang!
Spiritual light flashed!
Sword qi crisscrossed!
...
This "fierce battle" was incredibly brutal!
Both sides were going all out, fighting with their lives on the line.
Although the grey-robed male cultivator was slightly stronger than the blue-robed male cultivator, he did not have an overwhelming advantage.
He ultimately succeeded in killing the blue-robed male cultivator, but the latter's desperate counterattack before death also severely wounded him.
In fact, one of the grey-robed male cultivator's arms was blown off, leaving him with a "permanent disability."
The great battle concluded.
Disregarding his injuries, the grey-robed male cultivator searched the blue-robed male cultivator's storage bag and found a spiritual plant that was pale gold all over and had one leaf.
This spiritual plant exuded a rich medicinal aroma, and the veins on its leaf resembled a majestic golden dragon, appearing quite extraordinary.
This spiritual plant was indeed the "Dragon Pattern Grass."
The Dragon Pattern Grass that could be used to refine "Dragon Pattern Pills."
The fact that this "Dragon Pattern Grass" had one leaf indicated it was ten thousand years old.
Using such a "one-leaf Dragon Pattern Grass" to refine "Dragon Pattern Pills" could increase one "Golden Core Dragon Pattern."
While there was no strict rule that a cultivator could only take "Dragon Pattern Pills" once in their lifetime, it was undeniable that the effect was best upon the first consumption.
Subsequent consumptions varied from person to person.
For some, a second, third, or even ninth consumption might still have an effect.
But for others, a second consumption would be completely ineffective.
Therefore, when the grey-robed male cultivator saw the "one-leaf Dragon Pattern Grass," he felt a slight disappointment.
His innate talent was not particularly good. When he formed his Golden Core, he only condensed a "Four-Dragon Pattern Golden Core." It was highly unlikely he would be able to break through to the "Nascent Soul realm" in his lifetime.
Even if he consumed "Dragon Pattern Pills" refined from a "one-leaf Dragon Pattern Grass," at most, it would only increase his "Golden Core Dragon Pattern" by one.
His "Four-Dragon Pattern Golden Core" would become a "Five-Dragon Pattern Golden Core."
His chances of breaking through to the "Nascent Soul realm" would still be infinitesimally close to zero!
The grey-robed male cultivator sighed.
"Alas, if only it were a three-leaf or four-leaf Dragon Pattern Grass..."
Before his words even finished, a sudden change occurred!
