CHAPTER 1068: CHAPTER 1058: PATH ENLIGHTENMENT FLOWER

Perhaps because Fang Ping, a familiar face, was present, Tie Feng, who had not dared to meet Chen Hai’s eyes, finally mustered the courage to look up.

However, at the first moment, he did not look at Chen Hai, but instead gazed towards the Seven Killings Demon Lord and others who were pursuing him.

Originally, the Seven Killings Demon Lord and others had just appeared in everyone’s sight, but after this delay, the distance between them and everyone else had significantly narrowed.

The leading Seven Killings Demon Lord had not yet arrived, but the terrifying murderous aura emanating from him was enough to make one’s blood run cold, like a tidal wave already sweeping toward them.

In this situation, Lu Yingtian and others, who were at a slight distance away from Chen Hai and Tie Feng and distributed in the peripheral areas, remained calm and composed.

The Seven Killings Demon Lord and his men charged aggressively toward them, seemingly without causing any pressure at all.

The murderous aura that had materialized and swept toward them like a blood-red tide didn’t even require Chen Hai to make a move.

Lu Yingtian, with his large bald head still not completely rid of lumps, let out a low roar. His originally normal-sized body instantly swelled against the wind, transforming into a giant towering several dozen feet high.

One punch, two punches, three punches...

Punches like small hilltops were just thrown a few times, and under Lu Yingtian’s fists, the terrifying murderous aura swept towards them had completely recoiled.

Compared to Chen Hai, his strength might be lacking by quite a bit, but among the Quasi-Saint level, his power was truly not weak.

Back then, when facing Tian Can and Di Que, even the dense, all-pervasive notes of light rain were all blocked by his fists.

Now, just the vast murderous aura swept by the Seven Killings Demon Lord was not a real attack. How could it break through his fists’ defense and truly impact everyone?

Seeing this scene, Tie Feng shifted his gaze and finally looked toward Chen Hai.

As if making a difficult decision, he gritted his teeth and said, "Senior, the fact that the Seven Killings Demon Lord and others relentlessly chase me indeed has a reason."

"I snatched an item from their hands, like pulling a tooth from a tiger’s mouth. I can hand it over."

"However, after that item falls into senior’s hands, I hope you can be magnanimous and spare my life."

"After all, that item has long been placed within my Grotto Heaven. Even if I die here, as the Grotto Heaven collapses, there’s a 90% chance it will be destroyed in space turbulence, and it will be difficult to reach senior intact!"

As if thoroughly throwing caution to the wind, after saying this, Tie Feng assumed an expression of a dead pig unafraid of boiling water, lowered his head, and no longer spoke.

After hearing his words, Chen Hai smirked slightly, dismissively, and said with a chuckle, "Taoist Friend Tie, no matter how good the opportunity, you must have the life to enjoy it."

"As long as a person is alive, everything is possible. If one loses their life, thousands of years of cultivation will truly turn into nothing."

"In this situation, what decision you make is the wisest choice; I don’t need to say more, you should know in your heart."

"You and I have never met and have no grievances or enmity. I intercepted your way only because I didn’t want to be used as a tool."

"Kill you? I never intended to. Whether you live or die has no impact on me."

"If you know what’s good for you and are willing to hand over the item you’re talking about honestly, then I naturally have no interest in continuing to make things difficult for you."

"As for whether I will spare your life, that depends on how valuable the item you mentioned is to me and whether it is of use to me."

Chen Hai spoke neither hastily nor slowly.

The item Tie Feng mentioned indeed piqued his interest to some extent.

But not making things difficult for him and sparing his life are two separate matters.

After all, the Seven Killings Demon Lord and others, who are closely pursuing Tie Feng, are eager to kill him.

If Chen Hai wanted to spare his life, he would certainly have to confront the Seven Killings Demon Lord and others.

Those guys had some strength, but being merely Quasi-Saints, Chen Hai was naturally unafraid of them.

However, if the item Tie Feng brought out wasn’t of great value, or its functions were very limited, it wouldn’t be worth it for Chen Hai to risk fighting the Seven Killings Demon Lord and his men for such an item.

"Senior, even though your strength is formidable, I guarantee the item I’m talking about will also be quite significant for you!" Tie Feng nodded in response.

From Chen Hai’s words, although he hadn’t gotten an accurate answer, after a moment of thought, he could understand.

As his words fell, he appeared to be in pain, with utmost reluctance, as he reached into the void before him.

When his hand retracted, a flower the size of an adult’s head, composed of nine petals, appeared in his hand.

Each petal of the strange flower brimmed with endless divine radiance.

Beneath the petals, in the heart of the flower, there was an inexhaustible Taoist rhythm, constantly being born and extinguished.

Even Chen Hai, upon seeing this strange flower, couldn’t help but feel a strange urge to immerse himself in it.

"This is... a Path Enlightenment Flower!"

"For Quasi-Saints like us, not to mention a whole Path Enlightenment Flower, even a single petal could save us at least a thousand years of arduous cultivation."

"No wonder the Seven Killings Demon Lord and others have been relentlessly chasing Tie Feng; so he holds such a Supreme Treasure."

"If this Path Enlightenment Flower were an opportunity that Tie Feng found outside, it would have long been refined by him. Now, with all nine petals intact, it’s clear this item was obtained by him in the Land of Slumber!"

"No wonder so many Primordial Chaos Daluo Realm powerhouses place such importance on this Land of Slumber, as even spiritual objects like the Path Enlightenment Flower exist here."

...

The instant this strange flower appeared, it naturally became the focal point of the world.

Everyone present, including the Seven Killings Demon Lord and others shooting towards here like lightning, halted their steps, their gaze fixed on the Path Enlightenment Flower.

In terms of knowledge, Chen Hai naturally couldn’t compare to the old antiques who had lived countless ages.

Upon seeing the Path Enlightenment Flower, he merely sensed that it should greatly aid in his understanding of the Great Path.

But nearby Lu Yingtian, Ancestor Kugu, and others instantly recognized its origin, and from a distance, they stared at this Path Enlightenment Flower, with a peculiar light continuously flashing in many of their eyes.

Chen Hai, who used the Seven Emotions and Six Desires as the foundation of his path, was extremely sensitive to the emotions of all beings.

At this moment, he could clearly sense the extremely strong desire for greed amassing on those around him.
