Chapter 1354 - Bodhisattva Golden Cicada Flower
A mountain range of several hundred meters tall stretched out from the distant horizon like a giant dragon crawling in a dark swamp. However, it was suddenly cut off several dozen kilometers in front of them. The wide river flowed out from the bottom of the mountain range and flowed into the river from the bottom of the mountain range.
The river flowed underground, and no one knew where it came from or where it flowed to. Only the several dozen li of land between the mountains was visible on the surface. On each side of the river, there was a wide beach. Black sand was spread all over the beach, and they were all brought out by the underground current and kept in this place.
The so-called "Liushi River" was named because of this.
The river was about ten miles long, with a golden color in the middle. Taking a closer look, there were countless golden leaves that were as big as disks floating on the surface of the river, and between the leaves, there were many golden fist-sized flower buds. Through the gap between the bud and the leaf, one could see the black water below.
The Lengsha River was not only as black as ink, it was also as black as ink.
After realising this, Tang Huan who had already arrived at the riverside couldn't help but click his tongue in surprise. However, his attention was quickly attracted by the leaves and flower buds on the river surface.
"Bodhisattva Golden Cicada Flower!"
As Tang Huan muttered this name in his heart, his eyes flashed.
Along the way, Tang Huan had already captured quite a bit of information from the discussions of the many cultivators by the river.
This "Bodhisattva Golden Cicada Flower" would appear every once in awhile, every eight or ten years in this part of the Sand River. It would bear fruit the moment it bloomed, and what it bore were ripe fruits. The fruit was known as the "Golden Cicada". Regardless of whether one plucked the fruit or not, the "Bodhisattva Golden Cicada Flower" would wilt within a few breaths of time.
Each Bodhisattva Golden Cicada Flower would have nine "golden cicadas".
For a Transcendent, one "golden cicada" could condense two Dao Crystals. For a Transcendent, one "golden cicada" could condense one Dao Crystal. For a Transcendent, two "golden cicadas" could condense one Dao Crystal. For those at the fourth form and above, the effect of "Golden Cicada" was quite ordinary.
It was precisely because of this that a majority of those gathered here were people under the fourth form.
Of course, they definitely did not come here to snatch the 'Golden Cicada' for their own use. They most likely wanted to sell it, or to help others steal it.
Tang Huan secretly estimated, there were at least thousands of flower buds in Lengsha River, able to produce tens of thousands of "golden cicadas". However, there were already tens of thousands of Heaven Realm cultivators gathering on both sides of Lengsha River, and there were even more groups gathering on the two sides of the beach.
This meant that once the "Bodhisattva Golden Cicada Flower" bloomed, an intense battle would erupt on the riverbank because of the "Cicada".
Now, the most suitable place to seize the "golden cicada" had already been occupied.
As for the others, they could only fight for it with all their might. At that time, who knew how many people would die here and how many monks would have porridge? In the end, a large number of heaven's cultivators would return empty-handed.
Tang Huan's mind raced, his mind racing. A good thing like the golden cicada, since he had encountered it, he definitely could not miss it.
On the way there, he had already secretly tested the two transformations of the Divine Powers "Yin and Yang Void Method" and "Void Escape" and "Heavenly Invisibility". For the two transformations to be performed in the lower realm, it would require a large amount of True Essence.
The elemental energy contained in the two Dao-Crystals temporarily couldn't support the amount of energy needed to use the divine ability.
Fortunately, although he was unable to use his sacred art, after his primeval essence was converted to Tianyuan, the "Nine Yang Divine Furnace" was able to use it. During the fight for the 'Golden Cicada', both sides of the River Lengsha would be thrown into chaos. At that time, he could take the opportunity to activate the 'Nine Yang Divine Furnace' and ingest some 'Golden Cicada'. The reason why he could rely on the "Nine Yang Divine Furnace" this time was because after transcending the heavenly tribulation, the "Nine Yang Divine Furnace" could not only expand, but also shrink greatly.
As long as they weren't too far ahead, no one would notice its existence.
While thinking, a smile surfaced on Tang Huan's face, and he quietly moved to the back of the crowd, after that he calmed his mind, and carefully distinguished the sounds around him, obtaining some useful information.
"Hmm?"
After a long while, Tang Huan's brows twitched, and his gaze suddenly turned to his left and front.
Just now, there seemed to be someone spying on him. However, he didn't notice anything strange wherever he looked. This was the result of the significant weakening of the Perception Ability! If it was in the lower realms, he would be able to lock on to the person even if they were spying on him from a thousand meters away.
Just as Tang Huan wanted to search the crowd once again, a clamor suddenly sounded out.
Several hundred meters away on the riverbank, there were actually people arguing.
Over there was a beach that stretched ten meters into the middle of the river. It could be said to be the most suitable place to seize the golden cicada on both sides of the river.
No one dared to enter the river, and if they were to fly, it would be difficult for even a Third Transformation Realm Heaven Realm warrior to last long. Only when the flowers bloomed would people rush into the sky to avoid wasting Sky Origin Stage cultivators.
Under these circumstances, the deeper one went into the river, the easier it was for them to seize the 'golden cicada'.
Previously, that small area was occupied by more than ten abnormally tall and sturdy men, all over three meters tall, but after a short period of clamor, the strong men all came out with their faces covered in dust, and were replaced by another group of cultivators, roughly twenty people.
The leader seemed to be a young man wearing a white robe, standing tall and straight, surrounded by the others like stars surrounding the moon.
However, the man was facing Tang Huan, so he could not see his face clearly.
The strength of the strong men before was not to be underestimated. However, they were now easily driven away. The white-cloaked man either possessed overwhelming strength, or his status was extraordinary. But it had nothing to do with Tang Huan, after a while, he retracted his gaze.
Before long, the hubbub in front started again, and it was the group of muscular men who had snatched another person's seat.
The lower realms respected the strong. In the upper realms, the same was true for those weaker than them. No matter where they went, they would inevitably suffer the fate of being oppressed. Tang Huan heaved a sigh of relief. Inside the Dantian, the "Nine Yang Divine Furnace" and the "Dao Nascent Soul" were circulating continuously.
The number of cultivators by the Lengsha River continued to increase.
The two mountain ranges that had been cut in two were completely enveloped in darkness. Only the "Bodhisattva Golden Cicada Flower" in the middle of the Shasha River was emitting a faint golden luster, illuminating the entire riverbank in a dream-like light.
Time flew by …
Suddenly, the golden light of the middle section of the Lengsha River shone brightly. The river bank, which had become rather quiet due to the arrival of night, immediately erupted with noise. The crowd immediately became restless.
