Chapter 456: The Sun and Moon Illuminate Mountains and Rivers (Fifteen)

Wang Shu was speechless.
He was originally an ordinary animal on a technologically advanced planet.
In terrible weather.
He died.
But now, he was alive again.
He was reborn as a tree.
His consciousness had barely formed when a young man reached out and plucked him, placing him here.
This was terrible.
Things soon took a turn for the better.
Wang Shu discovered that within his consciousness was a white sphere of light, displaying something like "+1, +1..." After studying it for a while, Wang Shu realized that he actually possessed the ability to grow stronger simply by lying in the sun.
And so, Wang Shu settled down peacefully on the back mountain.
However, Wang Shu had always harbored a yearning for freedom, so he planned to wait until he had accumulated enough strength before leaving.
Just recently, Wang Shu sensed that he seemed to possess enough power; he could now easily shatter an entire mountaintop with a single branch.
Just as he was preparing to act...
Suddenly, he felt a tremendous, terrifying aura emanating from above the sea of ​​clouds.
Wang Shu carelessly stuffed the tree root he had just pulled out back in.
He could only pray he wouldn't be discovered; otherwise, he would die before even starting his mission, which would be too unfortunate.
Fortunately, the terrifying young man hadn't noticed him.
Wang Shu felt his strength wasn't enough; he needed to wait a little longer. He would definitely make that guy pay!
......
Desolate Realm
"Boy, how did you manage to provoke so many enemies?"
The elder couldn't help but curse.
After countless hardships, Ling Jiuxiao finally obtained the second backup plan he had left behind.
The elder thus fell into a brief slumber.
After waking up.
The elder was dumbfounded.
Dozens of people were closely pursuing Ling Jiuxiao, all of them Saint Realm experts, and they even came from different races.
With so many Saint Realm experts, even if he had recovered some of his strength, going up against them would be a waste.
"Elder, you're finally awake!"
"Help!"
Ling Jiuxiao was overjoyed, as if he had seen a savior.
"You brat, you've provoked so many Saint Realm experts! How am I supposed to save you?"
"Boy, where's that branch? Get it out now!"
"Otherwise, we'll both be buried here. I don't want to die with you, brat."
Seeing that Ling Jiuxiao was about to be caught, the elder quickly reminded him.
"Who wants to die alongside an old geezer like you?"
Ling Jiuxiao retorted irritably, "I already used up the branch the Sect Master left behind!"
The Elder was stunned: "Used up?"
Ling Jiuxiao was on the verge of tears: "I didn't expect the Sect Master to be telling the truth! That branch really did only have the last wisp of sword energy left!"
"After using that wisp of sword energy, the branch completely disappeared."
Elder: "........"
Tired. Destruction it is.
Ling Jiuxiao regretted it.
Showing off was fun for a moment, but now without the branch, they were being relentlessly chased.
However, their immediate priority was to find a way to shake off the group of pursuers. Looking at the ferocious expressions of those Saints, being skinned alive would be the least of their worries if they were caught.
The elder suddenly exclaimed with delight, "Young man, there's a weak point in the spatial barrier here, perhaps a relic left by some great figure. I will do my utmost to help you break through it. Whether you survive or not depends on yourself."
Ling Jiuxiao said guiltily, "Elder, I misunderstood you."
With that, Ling Jiuxiao's figure flashed and disappeared into the starry sky.
The Saint Realm experts chasing after Ling Jiuxiao saw him suddenly vanish.
A tall, one-eyed giant cursed, "That damned thief! He dared to sneak into our clan's treasury and empty it completely! No matter the cost, I, Qingba, will make that damned thief pay!"
Another being, his body billowing black smoke and eyes blazing with fire, said viciously, "That's right! That thief is utterly despicable! He stole our clan's five-thousand-year-old Immortal Elixir all by himself! We must find him at all costs!"
"..."
Most of the other Saints felt the same way.
They were in seclusion.
During their seclusion, chaos erupted within their clan.
"Yes, that guy is utterly despicable! Not only did he steal treasures and resources, he even stole the dragon baby!"
"My poor young master... he was barely born when this thief stole him!"
The numerous saints, upon hearing this, simultaneously cursed, filled with righteous indignation.
They had never seen such shamelessness.
........
At this moment, Ling Jiuxiao opened his eyes.
He seemed to have narrowly escaped death.
However, Ling Jiuxiao quickly began to observe the scene before him.
Everything before him was ruins, as if ravaged by a great war, the entire world destroyed and buried in the void.
However, directly in front of him stood a black palace.
"What on earth did you do, brat, to provoke so many Saints?"
The elder was panting, his voice trembling, as if he had just escaped a calamity. It seemed an entire star field's racial reserves had come to hunt down Ling Jiuxiao.
Ling Jiuxiao said embarrassedly, "Well... Elder, you should know I have a hobby."
"I originally wanted to visit those powerful forces, but I never take the usual route, and I don't know why, but every time I end up at their treasure vaults."
Elder: "..."
"So you looted their treasure vaults clean?"
Ling Jiuxiao said aggrievedly, "Elder, you're slandering me! I just saw their treasure vaults were overflowing with things, and since I was a bit short on cash lately, I took a little bit. It's called robbing the rich to help the poor, it's a good thing, it's just that I took a little too much."
"But I explained to them that it was an investment, and I promised them a favor when I become a saint, but unfortunately they completely ignored me."
Ling Jiuxiao couldn't understand, was a saint's favor so worthless?
Elder: "..."
He felt that this little guy had become increasingly audacious since leaving the Sun and Moon Continent.
"Just how much benefit did you get?"
The Elder was curious.
Ling Jiuxiao opened his hand, each finger adorned with a glittering storage ring.
Completely full.
Elder: "..."
"It's an injustice that you're not being hunted down, kid!"
As the words fell, Ling Jiuxiao took off his boots.
Each of his ten toes was encased in a storage ring.
They were completely full.
A simple, honest smile appeared on Ling Jiuxiao's face.
Elder: "..."
This guy is from the Mountain and River Sect, and has absolutely no relation to Yuan Huang!
