Chapter 1135

The contract went smoothly, but the compensation didn't immediately arrive. They hadn't expected the Boundless Sect to ask for something as high as a law fragment. Furthermore, the Boundless Sect had asked for so many spirit medicines, and they weren't planning on giving them any yuan elixirs. They simply sent people back to get the spirit medicines.

Both sides were very satisfied with the results. Zi Chen magnanimously said that the Boundless Sect would pay for the food and accommodation of these captives for free.

The contract was signed by the sect master, the family heads, and of course, Xing Dao Li. For a Heaven Origin expert to lower himself, it could be seen how important the Boundless Sect was to Xing Dao Li.

While their subordinates went back to get resources, the family heads expressed that they wanted to tour the Boundless Sect. Zi Chen naturally didn't have a problem with that. Vice sect master Wang Qiong led them around.

During the tour, the expressions and attitudes of these Patriarchs slowly changed. Their expressions were disdainful at first, then slowly turned serious, then serious, and by the time they finished their tour, their faces were already filled with admiration.

Adding on the Heavenly Barbarian Pavilion, the Boundless Sect had only been established for less than five hundred years. However, after so many years, the Boundless Sect had developed to this point. That was enough to prove how extraordinary Zi Chen and the Boundless Sect were.

If they didn't include the Earth Origin and Heaven Origin realms, then the Boundless Sect would be one of the top ten powers on the continent. Furthermore, their foundation wouldn't be any weaker than theirs.

It had to be known that while the Boundless Sect had been established for less than five hundred years, their families had existed for hundreds of thousands of years.

Now, they actually rejoiced that they had negotiated with Zi Chen. If they continued to develop like this, who knew what level the Boundless Sect would reach in the future?

Of course, this was only on the surface. If they were really going to lose an arm or a leg, they wouldn't be afraid of the Boundless Sect even now.

During this time, Wang Qiong brought them to Alchemy Peak. The existence of the Everlasting Pill Cauldron was no longer a secret, so there was no need to hide it. This thing was what the Boundless Sect would rely on to rise.

Seeing the legendary Everlasting Pill Cauldron, these family heads were shocked. Back then, the Everlasting Sect was able to grow to a point where they were extremely apprehensive and even terrified. This cauldron played an important role in this.

Furthermore, as Patriarchs, they naturally knew many secrets. For example, this Infinite Dan Cauldron came from another world, and so on.

After a round of discussion, the patriarchs of the various forces had solemn expressions, because they could see the shadow of the original Everlasting Sect in the current Everlasting Sect.

In addition to Alchemy, there was also Artifact Forging. In the past, the Everlasting Sect had been able to show disdain for these two things. However, the Everlasting Pill Cauldron had disappeared back then, and the Artifact Forging techniques had been snatched away by various powers. But who would have thought that many years later, in the Everlasting Sect founded by Zi Chen, they would see these two techniques that surpassed Artifact Forging once again?

While waiting for the large factions to return the resources, Zi Chen's life was extremely restless. He didn't have any time alone during the day. He couldn't even spend time with the beauties because the monk and the Perfect Body followed closely behind Zi Chen like two tails.

At night, the group of women would gather again, not giving Zi Chen a chance to be alone with any of them.

A few days later, the large factions returned to collect the resources, and the two sides began the exchange.

On this day, the leaders who had been in seclusion all came out and brought their trusted subordinates to wait in the main hall. These people were divided into eight small groups, waiting for the people from the eight factions to arrive. Then, both sides would count the resources.

In the main hall, the patriarchs of the eight factions and Zi Chen's group sat facing each other. This kind of matter naturally didn't require them to do it personally.

As the resources were taken out and the counting began, the main hall became noisy.

"High-grade Origin Liquid. I have 0,675 drops here."

"I have 8,302 drops here."

"I have 3,655 drops here."

"0,675, plus 3,655, plus 8,302, plus 68,175 drops, plus a total of 95,555 drops. The number is correct. Metal Clan, 95,555 drops of high-grade Origin Liquid. Pass."

The final voice rang out. The final tally of the Metal Clan's Yuan Liquefied was completed. A cultivator placed 95,555 drops of high grade Yuan Liquefied into a large barrel with multiple seals. This was not to prevent theft or loss, but to prevent the loss of spiritual energy within the Yuan Liquefied Metal Clan's Yuan Liquefied Metal.

"Spiritual Herbs Inventory. Wood Clan, 605,555 stalks of 8,555-year-old spiritual herbs. The number is correct. Pass. 0,555-year-old spiritual herbs. Pass. 3,555-year-old spiritual herbs. Pass. 65,555-year-old ancient herbs. Pass."

"Fire Clan, the number of high-grade Origin Stones is correct. Pass."

"Fire Clan, the number of spirit liquids is correct. Pass."

"Yes, pass."

"Yes, pass."

"Pass."

"Pass."

The checking of the list was a little noisy, but everyone did things in an orderly manner. Every time the items were counted, they would be sorted and put away.

It took an entire day just to check all the items. Everything was correct and there was no mistake.

Then, the leaders of the eight forces finally took out the Law Fragments.

It was Zi Chen's first time seeing a Rule Fragment, and he found it very novel. At first glance, it looked like a piece of glass placed under the sun, emitting a dazzling light. Although it did not have a complete shape, it was still very beautiful even in the absence of Rule Fragments.

These Law Fragments were of different sizes, but they had all been deliberately chosen. The largest was only the size of a walnut, while the smallest was the size of a fingernail.

When Zi Chen's perfect spiritual sense sensed the Law Force in the fragments, his heartbeat quickened because he had a feeling that these things could help him break through to the Earth Origin Realm.

Zi Chen took the Law Fragment and handed it to Wang Shan. The latter began to count it in front of the Patriarch of the Great Influence. After that, the Everlasting Sect prepared a banquet to celebrate their reconciliation. During the banquet, both sides naturally exchanged the necessary pleasantries.

This was a celebration, and everyone in the Boundless Sect was drinking, including the captives. These captives had been treated even worse than the strange beasts. Today, they had finally encountered a celebration, and after learning that their clans had compensated the Boundless Sect with many things, they ate and drank freely.

The next day, the Patriarchs of the eight forces left with their captives. Zi Chen and the others stood outside the sect to send them off.

After watching the other party's figures disappear, Zi Chen finally let out a sigh of relief. Along the way, he had been under a lot of pressure. There were always enemies to kill, but from now on, he would have no enemies. This kind of situation would last for a thousand years. What did a thousand years mean to the Boundless Sect?

It meant time. Even if the Boundless Sect's slowest speed was a hundred times the speed of light, it would still have a hundred thousand years to develop.

Even Zi Chen didn't dare to imagine what the Boundless Sect would become in a hundred thousand years.

After the large factions left, Zi Chen had to carefully plan for the future development of the Boundless Sect.

However, at that moment, two beams of light flashed in front of Zi Chen. Monk Good and Evil was in front, and the Perfect Body was behind him. They blocked Zi Chen's path.

Monk Good and Evil extended his hand and said, "Now that everything is over, it's time to fulfill your promise."

Zi Chen asked blankly, "What promise?"

The monk was furious when he heard that. He glared at him and said, "Little Zi Chen, how dare you play dirty with me? To think that I helped you so much and treated you as …"

The monk's words came to a halt because an ancient castle appeared in front of him. The ancient castle was in Zi Chen's hand. The blank look on Zi Chen's face disappeared, replaced by a disdainful smile. "A mere ancient castle has exposed your bottom line of not hesitating to fall out with me."

"Cut the crap." The monk had a smug look on his face as he immediately snatched the ancient castle.

At the same time, Zi Chen took out another ancient castle and handed it to the Perfect Body. He said, "Yours is for cultivation of the physical body. The monk's is for cultivation of spiritual senses."

Both sides were quite satisfied with this distribution. The two nodded and then pretended to express their gratitude. Finally, the monk sighed and said, "It's a pity that the third one was taken away by the demons. I say, Zi Chen, you shouldn't have been soft-hearted at that time. When they were about to leave, you should have used your life to threaten them. You definitely could have gotten the item."

Zi Chen glanced at the monk and said coldly, "I'm not as shameless as you. For a mere ancient castle, I exposed my bottom line of being unscrupulous."

"Shameless. If we really want to talk about it, you, Zi Chen, are a hundred times more shameless than me. The reason why you didn't attack that demoness is because you have taken a fancy to her." The monk deliberately raised his voice so that Lin Xue and company could hear him.

"You're really shameless. You're so shameless that there's no hope for you. I just gave you the item and now you're framing me." Zi Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry at the monk.

As they chatted, a heart-palpitating aura suddenly appeared in the world. This aura was filled with destructive power, as though the world was about to be destroyed.

"What's going on?"

"What's happening?"

After sensing this inexplicable aura, everyone's expressions changed instantly.

The clear sky was instantly enveloped by black clouds as an oppressive aura descended. In this aura, there was also the might of the Heavenly Dao.

After everyone present sensed the heavenly might, they immediately exclaimed, "This is the heavenly lightning that only comes from a Lightning Tribulation. But why is there a Lightning Tribulation here?"

"Which cultivator is breaking through to the Essence Core realm? He actually attracted a Lightning Tribulation. However, isn't this commotion a little too vast?"

The crowd couldn't be mistaken. This was the aura that a Lightning Tribulation should have. However, this aura was much stronger than an ordinary Lightning Tribulation. Even if a hundred or a thousand cultivators at the peak of the Imperial Realm were to undergo a Lightning Tribulation at the same time, there wouldn't be such a huge commotion.

The rolling black clouds gathered in the distance. As more and more black clouds gathered, the black clouds got closer to the ground. From afar, the black clouds seemed to have already pressed down on the ground, as though the sky was about to collapse.

"That's the small world where the Thunder Clan lives. The Tribulation Taker should be there."

"Let's go and see who it is."

In the face of this oppressive aura, everyone's emotions became unstable. Among the loud shouts, there was some panic and fear.
