Chapter 853

After all the contribution points had been exchanged, the old man began to give Zi Chen the items he had exchanged for.

Fruits of Strength, Thunder Essence, Soul Condensing Pills, Soul Melting Pills, and other resources were all given to Zi Chen.

These were all genuine items, without the slightest bit of dilution. They emitted various kinds of brilliant light, dazzling the eyes. Zi Chen's eyes shone as he hurriedly received them, repeatedly thanking the old man.

The old man was very satisfied with Zi Chen, otherwise, he wouldn't have allowed Zi Chen to pester him endlessly and gave him an extra thousand contribution points.

After receiving all the resources, Zi Chen still looked at the old man with eager eyes. He didn't leave, because there was still a big item that Zi Chen hadn't received.

Heaven Splitter Spear Art, a Xiantian level technique. Zi Chen loved spears, so he was very excited to receive a Xiantian level spear art.

The old man stretched out his hand, and a golden light appeared in his hand. "This is the inheritance of the Heaven Splitter Spear Art. The comprehension of a Xiantian level technique is extraordinary. When you have enough time, you can comprehend it on your own."

Without waiting for Zi Chen's reply, the old man pointed at Zi Chen's forehead. The inheritance light spot immediately merged with Zi Chen's spiritual sense, and then quickly merged with his spiritual sense.

The old man did this because he was worried that Zi Chen would sell the Xiantian level technique in the outside world, so he forcibly merged it with Zi Chen's soul.

The light spot could only be used by one person, and Zi Chen was slightly disappointed. In his original plan, he had wanted to give a limitless comprehension inheritance, but it seemed that Zi Chen had thought too much. A mere six thousand contribution points could be exchanged for a one-time use Xiantian level technique, so it was still a profit for Zi Chen.

After the transaction, Zi Chen didn't leave. Instead, he looked at the old man and asked, "Senior, I saw that contribution points can be exchanged for resources. I wonder if the resources recorded on the list can be exchanged for some contribution points?"

"What resources do you plan to exchange for contribution points?" The old man looked at Zi Chen with a smile.

"Mid-grade Origin Liquid. Doesn't the list say that one contribution point can be exchanged for ten drops? In that case, can I exchange ten drops for one contribution point? Or fifteen, or even twenty drops?" Zi Chen asked.

"You little brat, what a good plan. It's a pity that your time is up. Hurry up and scram." The old man laughed and scolded him. Then, he kicked Zi Chen's butt.

Zi Chen's body was sent flying like a cannonball, straight into the sky.

The old man's voice rang out from below, "Brat, don't embarrass the Ancient Race."

Zi Chen soared into the sky and left this world. It was unknown if he had heard the old man's words.

A large hole was torn open in the void, and Zi Chen rushed in due to inertia. After entering the black hole, Zi Chen's eyes were pitch-black, as though he was teleporting through the void. Soon, Zi Chen's eyes lit up again.

"Bang."

When there was light in front of them, Zi Chen landed on the ground, but he was lying on his stomach.

Zi Chen, who was lying on the ground, saw that there were runes under him. These were the runes of the teleportation array that he was very familiar with.

"Hey, brat, get up."

"Hurry up and get down."

After landing on the ground, before Zi Chen could look around carefully, he heard the scolding of a human.

Zi Chen raised his head and saw that dozens of meters away, human cultivators were looking at him coldly. These people had cold expressions, and the corners of their mouths were curled into sinister sneers. None of them had good intentions.

Zi Chen raised his head and got up. When he saw these humans, a hint of excitement appeared on his face. He couldn't wait to go up and hug them.

People, he saw people, and there were many of them. It seemed that the last time he saw so many people was more than ten years ago on the Four Eight Ancient Roads.

Seeing so many humans, Zi Chen guessed that this should be the first gathering place on the Five Nine Ancient Roads.

"Brat, are you stupid? Hurry up and get down."

"If you don't want to die, come down quickly and hand over everything you have."

Seeing that Zi Chen, who was on the teleportation platform, was indifferent, the people outside the teleportation platform were a little impatient. Moreover, he clearly saw that there were more than ten of them, but he didn't show any fear on his face. This made them very unhappy.

The dissatisfied people shouted angrily at Zi Chen, but they didn't take the initiative to step forward, nor did they directly rush up to drag Zi Chen down.

Zi Chen looked at the edge of the teleportation platform and found that there was a layer of energy light shield around them. They were all blocked by the energy light shield.

Zi Chen got up and tidied his robe. He looked at the people outside the light shield calmly and asked, "Is this the first gathering place on the Five Nine Ancient Roads?"

"Idiot, you don't even know where you are."

"He must have encountered danger on the ancient roads and was so scared that he forgot where he was."

"The ancient roads are full of danger. It is simply heaven-defying luck for someone like him to be able to survive."

The group of trial challengers shouted angrily again, their greedy eyes staring at the spirit ring in Zi Chen's hand.

Their expressions told Zi Chen that this was indeed the Five Nine Ancient Roads. Since these people dared to rob outside the teleportation platform, Zi Chen guessed that this was an unruly ancient road.

A trial challenger who seemed to be the leader coldly stared at Zi Chen and said, "Two hours. You can only stay here for two hours at most. During these two hours, we can't do anything to you. But once these two hours are over, you will be forcibly expelled from the teleportation platform. At that time, you will die."

Zi Chen's expression didn't change. He wasn't threatened.

The leader paused and said, "But as long as you come out now and obediently hand over your resources, we can spare your life. Moreover, we will allow you to join our 'Green Peak'. By the way, let me tell you that the leader of Green Peak is a powerful existence comparable to a peak Houtian warrior."

Zi Chen laughed when he heard this. "You want me to join you after robbing my resources? Colluding with you to rob others? What a good plan."

The leader coldly snorted and said, "Boy, what do you know? This is the Five Nine Ancient Roads. There are many trial challengers here, and the powerhouses are as numerous as the clouds. If you want to survive here, you have to unite."

"Unite to rob others' things and resources." Zi Chen's face had a trace of sarcasm.

"What an arrogant boy who doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth. You will never understand our world if you stand here. But as long as you come out and experience it for yourself, you will understand. Here, if you don't have resources, you will die. If you have resources, you will live."

"Is that so? Then I would like to see it."

As soon as the leader finished speaking, Zi Chen sneered and strode out.

Zi Chen walked out of the teleportation platform. Sure enough, he found that this place was very different from the one he had sensed in the teleportation platform. In the teleportation platform, Zi Chen had sensed that the Heaven and Earth Spirit Qi was extremely rich and gentle. It was like a cultivation treasure land.

But as soon as Zi Chen walked out of the transmission platform, he once again sensed that the world's spiritual energy was berserk.

This berserk world's spiritual energy was almost impossible to absorb. Zi Chen tried to absorb it, but he found it extremely difficult. He had a powerful physique and an extraordinary cultivation method, but even absorbing this berserk energy was so difficult, let alone others.

Although there was spiritual energy here, it couldn't be absorbed. It was no different from having no spiritual energy at all. And since so many trial challengers had gathered here, there would naturally be conflicts. And with conflicts, there would be battles. And with battles, there would be consumption.

And if one wanted to replenish their consumption, they could only do so with resources. Therefore, the core of the Fifth Nine Worlds was resources. They had to find a way to obtain all resources.

Seeing the crowd and feeling the berserk world's spiritual energy, Zi Chen understood many things. In this place, resources were everything. In Zi Chen's words, resources were his life.

Just as Zi Chen walked out and tried to refine the berserk energy, more than a dozen trial challengers had already surrounded Zi Chen. The leader shouted at Zi Chen, "Kid, do you understand now?"

Zi Chen nodded and said, "Zi Chen is my life."

"Haha."

The leader laughed. "It seems that your awareness is very high. Very good, very good. Since you are so tactful, I will be benevolent and give you another chance. Hand over your resources and join us, or die."

Zi Chen's gaze swept across the dozen trial challengers and finally landed on the leader. He said seriously, "Resources are my life, but I have never said that I would take other people's lives. If I don't take other people's lives, no one can take my life.

"Since you have just arrived here and it is not appropriate to kill, I will spare you the death penalty today. If you voluntarily hand over your resources, you will also be spared from physical pain."

"What?" The leader was stunned when he heard this, but soon, there was a burst of laughter from all around.

"You want us to hand over our resources? Kid, are you stupid?"

"You are just one person, and there are more than a dozen of us. One against a dozen, do you think you have a chance of winning? Who do you think you are?"

Faced with the crowd's disdainful taunts, Zi Chen only sneered. After that, he turned into a bolt of lightning and charged toward the surrounding trial challengers.

"Attack, kill."

Seeing Zi Chen take the initiative to attack, the leader of the trial challengers reacted quickly and shouted in time.

However, before the others could attack, there were two tremors from the side. Two trial challengers were sent flying by Zi Chen's two punches. The trial challenger who was sent flying by the powerful punch fainted on the way back.

After knocking down two trial challengers, the others' attacks fell. However, the hasty attacks were lacking in both strength and speed. Zi Chen easily dodged these powerful attacks. Then, he dodged and threw punches. The tremors continued to ring.

More than a dozen trial challengers who were not weak were sent flying by a single punch. In the process, they were directly knocked unconscious. Several attacks did not hit the opponent. Seeing that his subordinates were knocked out one by one, the leader's expression became horrified.

In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen tremors were heard. Except for the leader, the rest of the trial challengers were all knocked unconscious.

The leader only saw a flash of light in front of his eyes. Before he could react, his whole body bent like a shrimp. His lower abdomen was hit by a strong force, and he vomited bitter water. As for why there was no food, it was because he had not eaten for a long time.

In the Five Nine Ancient Roads, food was as precious as resources.

"Bang." "Bang."

In the face of Zi Chen's attack, the leader could not make an effective counterattack at all. He was knocked down with two or three punches.

After falling down, the leader did not faint. Zi Chen walked up to him, patted his cheek with his hand, and said, "Is it useful to have more people?"
