You completed the third condensation of Source Power just in time.

Your strength has completely surpassed Yan Zhixue, reaching above top-tier Grandmaster, only trailing Lin Jingzhi’s level.

With your current overwhelming combat power, even among Ultimate Grandmasters, you rank below about a dozen and above two to three hundred.

Although the ranking description is a bit vague, it doesn’t stop you from truly being quite powerful.

That very day, you flew toward Maoxian County.

On the third day, you were flying high in the sky.

You happened upon a flock of migrating wild geese.

You voluntarily helped guide them along their route.

To keep up with you, the geese flapped their wings so hard they left afterimages.

After you left with satisfaction, the geese exclaimed, “That windbreaker today was really something!”

The journey was smooth without any trouble.

On the fifth day, you arrived at Maoxian County.

You activated Divine Micro-Vision and concealed yourself near a mountain forest where the Earth Source was about to appear.

This Earth Source must be known to more than one group; as the saying goes, the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind it. You must be that oriole standing behind them.

On the seventh day, dusk deepened and night completely swallowed the land.

You had been lying in wait for two days and hadn’t seen a single living person.

You began to wonder if Xie Huide was playing games with you.

Finally, two Ultimate Grandmasters flew in from afar.

One wore neat clothing, exuding a violent aura, his tiger-like eyes scanning fiercely around.

The other was a bald man holding a monk’s staff, dressed in bright yellow robes—undoubtedly a monk.

They didn’t hide anything and directly hovered above the spot where the Earth Source would appear.

The two glanced at each other and smiled, then the old monk spoke loudly, “Stop hiding, come out!”

You frowned, thinking to yourself, “Are you kidding? Am I supposed to reveal myself just like that?”

Though puzzled, you didn’t emerge—probably this old monk was trying to deceive you.

Two breaths later, the old monk surprisingly said, “Amitabha, Brother He, come out!”

“No way, is this even reasonable?!”

Your scalp tingled and your eyes widened. “If I get exposed like this, I might as well give up!”

During the previous simulation, except for freely soaring in the sky, you never revealed the combat power of an Ultimate Grandmaster.

You were currently fully operating the Art of Hidden Breath, masking your aura. How could you possibly be discovered?

Resolving to take action, just as you prepared to go out and kill these two, a hearty laugh came from a nearby forest.

“Hahaha, Master Mingjue’s strength is indeed profound and unfathomable. I, He, am impressed!”

Three people emerged from the forest. One had cunning eyes and a sly temperament; that sentence came from him.

You glanced at this sly man and cursed inwardly, “Damn, what level are you? We share the same surname!”

You felt indignant. Because you had exposed yourself often before, you had learned to recognize people who fit your profile. This time, you almost lost your composure.

You warned yourself to be more cautious in the future.

Next to Master Mingjue, the man with the violent aura gave a fierce smile and said, “He Tianlei, you know Master Mingjue has come. Aren’t you going to scram?!”

He Tianlei exchanged a glance with the two behind him, sneered disdainfully, then snarled, “Scram we shall—!”

Whoosh—

The three shot toward the dark horizon like three meteors, disappearing in an instant.

You nodded. “As expected of my He family—cowardly with style!”

Just after they left, the aura beneath Master Mingjue and the violent man suddenly surged.

The surrounding world’s energy was abruptly drawn toward the patch of earth beneath their feet.

The night wind blew sharply, the forest rustled as if countless ghosts lurked within the trees.

In a moment, a faint mist abruptly appeared on the ground, flickering and expanding.

Master Mingjue and the other’s faces lit up with joy, showing expressions of “just as expected.”

The flickering mist swelled with the wind, quickly reaching six or seven meters high.

Then it stopped growing and floated alone, like a spirit of the world.

Master Mingjue looked excited, flipped his wrist, and took out a fist-sized Earth Source bowl.

Source Power was emitted carefully to envelop the delicate Earth Source, as if holding a cup of boiling water about to overflow.

Once fully wrapped, the Source Power retracted, directly sealing the Earth Source inside the bowl.

At the moment it was placed in the bowl, the Earth Source seemed to come alive; the mist surged, then suddenly leapt out in alert.

Snap—

The Earth Source bowl’s lid closed, and the Earth Source was instantly pressed back inside.

“Hahaha, got it!”

Master Mingjue and the other laughed heartily.

“Let’s go!” Master Mingjue was in high spirits.

The two slightly gathered strength, ready to soar into the sky.

“Go? Where do you think you’re going?!” A fierce shout rang out.

Master Mingjue and the other were immediately forced down as five Ultimate Grandmasters swiftly surrounded them.

Your gaze sharpened, guessing these five were the Ultimate Grandmasters Danxia Sect had invited to fight for the Earth Source.

“Hand it over!” one of the five, a ugly man with a handlebar mustache, said sternly.

Master Mingjue’s expression turned serious. “Amitabha, this poor monk does not understand your meaning!”

The handlebar mustache man sneered, trying to threaten them.

A short man among the five cursed angrily, “Why waste words with him!”

Boom—

A huge iron hammer slammed straight at Master Mingjue and the other.

Seeing their comrade attack, the other four also jumped in.

The earth shook with the thunderous battle, waking you from drowsiness.

Soon, Master Mingjue’s agonized screams came, “Amitabha! I admit defeat! I admit defeat!!”

Though strong, Master Mingjue and the other were not a match for five attacking at once.

Their robes were torn and dirty; the bald monk’s violent temper had cooled, and his eyes were simple now.

Actually, neither suffered heavy injuries.

Their strength was part of the reason, but the other five hadn’t gone all out.

Because Master Mingjue was from Vajra Temple, it would be troublesome to offend him fatally.

Finally, Master Mingjue handed over the Earth Source.

They gained nothing and just took a severe beating.

Master Mingjue rubbed his shiny bald head and asked the five, “May we leave now?”

The handlebar mustache man laughed, “Monk, please go ahead!”

Master Mingjue and the other flew away in an instant.

Just as they were about to vanish into the night, Master Mingjue’s resentful warning echoed from afar, “Amitabha! Eastern Sea Pavilion people, I will remember you!!”

The five from Eastern Sea Pavilion paid no mind, carrying the Earth Source as they flew toward Danxia Sect.

From the earlier clash, you could gauge their strength.

You were confident you could kill them all.

But you knew there must be hidden experts still lurking, or else during the previous simulation, the Earth Source would have been successfully delivered to Danxia Sect.

You remained hidden, still not making a move.

You wanted to be the last oriole.

You trailed the five from a distance, unhurriedly following.

With your current power, they couldn’t detect you at all.

On the first day, no one stopped you on the road; you were calm.

On the second day, still no one appeared; you felt slightly strange.

On the third day, no enemies appeared; you grew puzzled.

On the fourth day, the five continued smoothly toward Danxia Sect.

You were completely confused, thinking, “Still going? I’m almost home!”

On the fifth day—

If all went well, the five would arrive at Danxia Sect today.

You thought if they could really deliver the Earth Source to Danxia Sect, it would eventually belong to you.

So you no longer planned to kill or loot anyone, just letting them run to Danxia Sect.

You wanted to see if they could reach Danxia Sect smoothly.
