Chapter 2187
Gazing at the energy vortex that appeared once again in the sky, Zambu Haoming's face was full of shock as he sensed the threatening Saint Aura from it. He muttered, "After a year, another Saint Crystal. What kind of speed is this?"
Under normal circumstances, it would take several years for a Harmonious Spirit Master to condense a Saint Crystal, and this time was only based on the success rate. If one counted the number of failures during this period, condensing a Saint Crystal in less than ten years was already very impressive.
However, Zi Chen and the others had only been here for a short period of a year. For cultivators of their level, this period of time was not even the blink of an eye. A mere hundred years was just a very short period of time in their eyes.
Yet, in such a short period of time, he actually saw two Saint Crystals being formed. Of course, he was not naive enough to think that Zi Chen had two Harmonious Spirit Masters.
That kind of existence was truly rare and could not be encountered without a great opportunity. When he was out adventuring in the past, he happened to meet a Harmonious Spirit Master and paid a hefty price for him to refine one for Zambu Haolin. At that time, the two siblings waited for twenty years.
But now …
Zambu Haoming was speechless. At this moment, he even had a strong impulse to immediately rush to Planet 33 to see what was going on.
However, after managing the family's affairs for many years and dealing with all kinds of people, he had also trained himself to be shrewd. He forcibly expelled the impulse in his heart, straightened his robe, and muttered, "Let's wait for two more days. Second Sister and Third Brother are both on Planet 33. I believe this time, they will definitely find out the truth."
With that, he turned and left. Of course, he did not forget to dismiss the enforcers and the other Saints who came after hearing the news.
… …
… …
"Second Sister, look, it's that kind of thing again."
On this day, Zambu Haolin happened to be on Planet 33 again. Zambu Haochu pointed at the vortex above and said.
In fact, it was not appropriate to say that it happened. In this year, Zambu Haolin and Zambu Haochu would come here every day to chat with Guang Yao. Zambu Haochu, on the other hand, was looking for Xing Chen to spar.
Xing Chen and Guang Yao walked out of the room. This fluctuation meant that there would be another Saint on their side. Naturally, the two of them were pleasantly surprised.
The others also noticed this scene one after another, and their faces once again revealed looks of envy.
"It is indeed Zi Chen's residence. If this strange phenomenon is not caused by Zi Chen, then there is a Harmonious Spirit Master living in Zi Chen's residence. But … I have seen the changes in their expressions over the years. Every time they look at this place, there is only one expression. From this point of view, it doesn't seem like there are two people inside. Unless that Zi Chen is a puppet, and their respect and worship is for the Harmonious Spirit Master."
Compared to Zambu Haochu, Zambu Haolin's observation was more detailed. After staying here for more than a year, Zambu Haolin did not think that Zi Chen was a puppet. Moreover, from the information she had obtained, Zi Chen did indeed possess extremely powerful combat strength.
Combined with the current situation, Zamboe Haolin only had one guess in her heart. This guess was somewhat out of line with common sense and went against what the world knew, but it was backed by evidence.
That was Zi Chen, the Harmonious Spirit Master.
At this moment, Zambu Haolin's attention was obviously different from the others. She spread out her spiritual sense and paid attention to the cultivators. Their faces revealed looks of envy. Judging from the changes in their expressions, this was not the first time such a scene had happened, and they knew very well what was going on.
Shortly after, Zambu Haolin keenly noticed that many cultivators were looking at a certain place from time to time. There stood a Heaven Realm expert with an even more excited expression. He was the focus of all the envious gazes.
That person was very excited, and his aura was naturally released. Zamboe Haolin's sharp senses sensed that his aura was actually the same as the Saint Energy that was about to take shape in the sky.
At this moment, the answer was obvious.
This Saint Crystal was tailor-made for him, a Saint Crystal that belonged to him alone.
Retracting her gaze and looking at the energy falling from the sky, Zamboe Haolin murmured, "It seems that Zi Chen has a lot of secrets."
She turned and walked towards Brilliant. After seeing him, she asked with a smile, "Little Sister Yao, the Harmonious Spirit Master here is Zi Chen, right?"
At this moment, Zamboe Haolin's face revealed a sweet smile. Her long and narrow eyes looked at Brilliant with some expectation. This made Brilliant unable to bear to refuse her.
"Tell me, is that Harmonious Spirit Master Zi Chen?" Zamboe Haolin asked again after seeing the change in Brilliant's expression. She looked pitiful.
Recalling the harmonious relationship between the two of them in the past year, Brilliant nodded as he thought that this was not a secret.
Thus, Zi Chen's biggest secret was revealed in front of Zamboe Haolin.
"Yeah, Little Sister Yao, you're the best. I know you're a good person with a good heart. I didn't misjudge you."
Zambu Haolin excitedly hugged Guang Yao. This sudden action made Guang Yao very shy. His face was bright red, which made him look very pretty.
"You little girl, don't be shy. It's Big Sister hugging you, not Zi Chen." Zamboe Haolin snorted.
In another direction, Xing Chen saw this scene and shook his head. In the end, she was too kind.
… …
… …
As the energy fell, the saint crystal in front of Zi Chen gradually became full. His bright eyes revealed a touch of joy.
This time, the refinement was successful in one go. It only took a little more than a month. During the rest of the time, Zi Chen was cultivating. He really did not neglect refining and cultivating.
But soon, his expression became startled, and then a wry smile appeared on his face. "It seems that this state of seclusion is coming to an end."
Just now, he received a message from Xing Chen. The latter told him that his identity had been exposed and that the traitor was Brilliant.
Shaking his head and laughing, Zi Chen had to face reality. During this period, Xing Chen also sent him a message. It was said that Zamboe Haolin was looking for him. It was either for something or for something.
The only possibility was the former. He couldn't even remember what Zamboe Haolin looked like. How could the latter be interested in him?
Although he thought that he was quite handsome, he was not narcissistic to the point of being loved by everyone.
Zi Chen was already very satisfied to have a few confidantes in this life.
… …
… …
Since his identity had been exposed, there was no need to continue hiding. On the same day, Zi Chen walked out of the Universal Origin Cauldron and opened the door.
Xing Chen, Brilliant, Zamboe Haolin, and Zamboe Haochu stood outside the hall. Xing Chen and Brilliant's expressions were normal. Zamboe Haochu's face was full of curiosity and surprise. As for Zamboe Haolin, there was a touch of respect in her surprised expression.
She was not a hothead like Zamboe Haochu. She knew what kind of status a Harmonious Spirit Master had in this Star Path, and even in the Great Thousand World.
Swoosh.
Zi Chen did not disappoint either of them. When he walked out, he took out the Saint Crystal and casually tossed it out. The Saint Crystal turned into a stream of light and landed in the hands of one of the Heaven Realm masters.
That Heaven Realm expert was the one that Zamboe Haolin had noticed earlier.
"Thank you, Master."
After receiving the Saint Crystal, the Heaven Realm expert respectfully bowed in the direction of Zi Chen. Under the envious gazes of other cultivators, he flew back to his residence.
Obviously, he couldn't wait to refine the Saint Crystal.
When Zamboe Haochu saw this scene, there was a touch of worship in his curious expression.
Zan-Bu Haolin, on the other hand, was a little dumbfounded. She clearly remembered that the Harmonious Spirit Master who paid a great price to refine the saint crystal for her was so weak when he came out. Moreover, he was so respectful when he held the saint crystal in his hand as if he was holding a very sacred object.
But today, Zi Chen had just casually tossed it away. His attitude was extremely casual, as if what he had thrown away was not a dream door to enter the Saint's Gate, but a very casual object.
"Why are you all here?"
Seeing that the four people in front of him didn't speak and didn't make way, Zi Chen could only take the initiative to speak. Otherwise, with the gate blocked, he wouldn't be able to get out.
"Zi Chen, you're really a Harmonious Spirit Master! You're too amazing!" Zamboe Haochu exclaimed excitedly.
"Zamboe Haolin greets Master Harmonious Spirit Master." Zamboe Haolin bowed to Zi Chen with a very respectful expression.
Zi Chen waved his hand and said with a smile, "You don't have to be so polite. You're friends with Xing Chen and Guang Yao, so you're Zi Chen's friends. You can just call me by my name. I'm not used to being called Master. Moreover, it's being called Master by a Saint. You should know that I'm just a Heaven Realm expert."
"Impossible, Zi Chen, you're lying. My second sister said that a Harmonious Spirit Master must be a Saint," Zamboe Haochu said.
"My situation is a little special."
Looking at Zamboe Haochu, Zi Chen said, "I've come out of seclusion. If you still want to spar, I don't mind teaching you a lesson."
"Humph, teach me a lesson? Let me tell you, I've improved a lot during this time. Even if I use my body, I can still defeat you." Zamboe Haochu's eyes lit up when he mentioned the spar again. His battle intent rose.
"Let's talk about this later. Your brother is here."
Zi Chen shook his head and walked out of the hall.
"My brother is here?" Zamboe Haochu was slightly stunned.
At this time, Zamboe Haochu's voice sounded from outside the world, "Zamboe Haochu requests an audience with Master Zi Chen."
This time, Zamboe Haochu didn't mention the Zamboe Family. He also addressed Zi Chen as Master Zi Chen instead of Brother Zi Chen. His attitude was very respectful. This was the status of a Harmonious Spirit Master. It was enough to make most forces bow their heads in front of him.
Moreover, mentioning one's family in front of a Harmonious Spirit Master was undoubtedly a slap to one's face. If a Harmonious Spirit Master wanted to, he could build a huge force in a very short time.
In fact, the restriction on Planet 33 had just been destroyed. Zamboe Haochu could've come in by himself, but he still stood outside.
"Come in." Zi Chen's voice sounded.
Zamboe Haochu flew in. After seeing Zi Chen, he once again respectfully saluted Zi Chen, "Zamboe Haochu greets Master."
"I just told the two of them not to be so polite. You can just call me Zi Chen. I'll call you Haochu from now on. Speaking of which, I have to thank you for this period of time. This place is very quiet and no one disturbed us."
"You're too kind, Master. This is what we should do."
After that, they returned to the main hall where Zi Chen was. Brilliant personally served them tea and snacks, while Zambiu Haolin volunteered to help out at the side.
