# Chapter 2556: Sacred Medicines Everywhere
Night Travel Master was filled with indignation and questioned Seven Hands Elder.
How could Seven Hands Elder possibly admit to such a thing? He swore on the spot that whoever leaked his secret would be his grandson.
Night Travel Master was suspicious and naturally didn't believe him, but lacking evidence, after a bout of mutual bickering, the matter was dropped.
Kai Luo Earth Master was indeed an extraordinary figure, yet having fallen into the hands of gods, he was still like an ant. Not a trace of sharpness or pride could be seen on him—he appeared like a walking corpse, decrepit and aged.
His spiritual will had been worn away by more than half.
Moreover, he had been struck by the Wolf Ancestor's Grandson's "Blood Wolf Curse Art." Once he harbored thoughts of resistance, he would suffer the agony of wolves devouring his soul.
At this moment, A Le sat atop a giant wolf covered in blood-red fur, with Kai Luo Earth Master following beside him. The two of them kept close behind Zhang Ruochen and Ji Fanxin, who were at the very front.
They had already left that planet and were now walking along the seabed, leaving footprints in the sand that resembled iron filings.
Of course, these traces were all cleaned up by Xue Tu, who walked at the very back.
Xue Tu feared that other cultivators might follow their path and easily enter the Origin Divine Temple, so he performed the arduous task of erasing traces with great diligence.
Although the Underworld King had opened a path, he seemed uninterested in the treasures along the way, heading straight for the Origin Divine Temple at the center.
Because of this, many divine patterns and formation inscriptions had not been completely cleared.
They posed no threat to gods, but they were dangerous to Saint realm cultivators like them.
Thus, Kai Luo Earth Master came in handy.
Zhang Ruochen and Ji Fanxin, walking at the front, used the Heart of Truth and the Origin Divine Eye to inspect one by one. Whenever they discovered formation inscriptions, they immediately pushed Kai Luo Earth Master forward.
Kai Luo Earth Master had thought about resisting, but when the blood wolf beneath A Le let out a long howl, he immediately trembled in fear, like a mouse encountering a cat or a chick meeting a hawk.
Clearly, the Wolf Ancestor's Grandson's methods had already broken his spirit.
Seven Hands Elder and Night Travel Master walked side by side, communicating secretly with their spiritual power.
Night Travel Master asked, "Where exactly is this place? Along the way, Zhang Ruochen and the others have already broken the formations of several ruins and gained quite a lot."
Seven Hands Elder narrowed his eyes and smiled. "Before answering that question, I want to discuss something with you first."
"Go ahead."
"Do you think the two of us working together could take down Zhang Ruochen and his group?"
Night Travel Master had entertained this thought more than once, but the fact that Seven Hands Elder had brought it up first made him wary. "This old bastard is clearly already aligned with the Blood Absolute Family. Right now, he's probably testing my loyalty on Zhang Ruochen's secret orders."
Night Travel Master smiled. "I have already taken Zhang Ruochen as my master. Once a master, always a master. How could I dare to harbor thoughts of killing my teacher?"
Seven Hands Elder rolled his eyes, realizing that this old fool didn't trust him, so he had to suppress the thought for now.
Without Night Travel Master's help, relying on himself alone was not enough to give him confidence.
"What kind of divine treasure land is this? The ruins are getting denser and quite ancient. The materials used to build these structures back then must have been extraordinary." Night Travel Master couldn't help but ask again.
Seven Hands Elder still acted mysterious and refused to tell him.
As they advanced, ruins and remains became denser, covering the ground everywhere.
There were broken pillars dozens of meters tall, carved with mysterious ancient beasts.
There were shattered stone divine statues, only half their bodies remaining, yet as massive as mountains, with hands forming a life-killing demon-subduing gesture, extremely awe-inspiring under the dim light.
They were as small as ants as they walked past the stone divine statue.
Xue Tu noticed that between the stone divine statue's brows was a purple gem as large as a pool, emitting light that could affect the operation of the sacred dao rules within one's body.
It was clearly a supreme treasure.
He wanted to take it, but Zhang Ruochen stopped him.
Seven Hands Elder sneered, "The area around the stone divine statue is covered with divine patterns too powerful to describe in words. Even ordinary gods might not dare approach. If you want to die, go ahead, but don't drag us down with you."
Everyone felt regret but continued onward.
Four days later, they finally reached the heart of the Origin Divine Temple ruins. Everyone was stunned into stone by the sight before them.
It was no longer dark. The area was filled with all kinds of exotic flowers and plants that emitted brilliant radiance. Many of them were at the Eon-level sacred medicine grade, and some were so rare they could only be seen in ancient manuscripts.
"My heavens! How can there be such a massive Dragon Heart Grass? Each leaf is like a dragon. It has already grown five leaves—doesn't that mean it has survived for five eons? Once such a sacred medicine appears in the world, even gods would come to buy it."
Night Travel Master stared at the distant Dragon Heart Grass, trembling with ghostly flames of excitement.
It must be known that a sacred medicine that had survived three eons could already serve as the main ingredient for refining Emperor-grade sacred pills and sub-divine pills, and could even be used as a supplementary ingredient for divine pills.
A Dragon Heart Grass that had survived five eons—if harvested and fully absorbed—could potentially raise his spiritual power to the sixty-ninth and a half level. It might even reach the seventieth level, allowing him to become a god directly.
No wonder Zhang Ruochen claimed he could help him become a god—it wasn't just empty talk.
"Is this the legendary Purple Tear Heavenly Bamboo? It has grown into an entire purple bamboo forest. Most have lived for one eon, and some have even lived for three or four eons." Seven Hands Elder kept swallowing saliva, his eyes turning purple.
Last time, when he came alone, he hadn't managed to get this close.
Xue Tu's cultivation was too low, so he naturally didn't dare to hope for harvesting those sacred medicines that had lived for three or four eons, as such medicines often possessed powerful offensive capabilities. Not to mention that stronger sacred medicines were always accompanied by powerful formations and divine patterns.
So he aimed for those that had only lived for one eon and quickly began collecting them.
Zhang Ruochen was also interested in some of the sacred medicines, but he was even more interested in his connection to the "Wordless Sword Manual." Therefore, his gaze was fixed on the vast, boundless ruins of the divine temple.
He couldn't make out the outline of the Origin Divine Temple, only seeing a seabed slope covered in soil and overgrown with exotic flowers and plants.
This slope stretched endlessly upward, extending to the limits of his vision.
Zhang Ruochen had once seen the Truth Divine Temple, which was thousands of miles tall. He imagined that if the Origin Divine Temple hadn't been destroyed, it would probably be on a similar scale. After its destruction and collapse, the ruins could easily span tens of thousands of miles.
"These sacred medicines were nurtured by the Origin Divine Temple and have grown for who knows how many tens of thousands of years, never harvested by anyone. The number of sacred medicines here probably surpasses even those of the Heavenly Court's Truth Divine Temple and the Hell Realm's Destiny Divine Temple. This is the most precious wealth here. Make the most of your time advantage and harvest as quickly as possible."
Zhang Ruochen thought for a moment and released Sword Emperor, Stone Emperor, Grand Minister of Works, Second Minister of Works, True Kill, True Greed, and True Delusion from the Qiankun Realm, letting them also seek their opportunities.
As for Que Shenzi "True Lust" and Tian Shu Zi "True Anger," Zhang Ruochen only let them out to see the sacred medicines. After they became excited and thrilled, he put them back into the Qiankun Realm.
Disobedient cultivators could only look but not touch.
The Origin Divine Temple had been submerged at the bottom of the sea for far too long. Most valuable treasures had surely turned to dust. What remained, though rare, was bound to be few and far between.
These countless sacred medicines were the greatest wealth.
Zhang Ruochen sent a voice transmission to Ji Fanxin. "Fairy, please keep an eye on Seven Hands Elder and Night Travel Master."
"No need to watch them. They might have rebellious thoughts, but right now... look at them, look at them—they're all red-eyed from harvesting sacred medicines. Where would they have the mind for anything else?" Ji Fanxin said.
"That seems to be the case. Eh!"
When Zhang Ruochen looked at Ji Fanxin, he was surprised to find that those sacred medicines that even experts like Seven Hands Elder and Night Travel Master couldn't easily harvest were flying out from the divine patterns and coming to Ji Fanxin's side.
In moments, she was surrounded by hundreds of flowers, standing in a sea of blossoms, her figure slender and stunningly beautiful, her black hair like a waterfall.
The light emitted by the petals illuminated her skin, making it as translucent as immortal jade. She was like the moon surrounded by stars, transformed into a true Flower Fairy.
This scene made even Zhang Ruochen momentarily entranced, almost intoxicated by the ultimate (jizhi) beauty.
This intoxication was pure, containing no impurities—just the most genuine appreciation.
Of course, it was only for a moment.
The other cultivators, however, were stunned for a long time before recovering their composure.
Against the backdrop of hundreds of flowers, her beauty surpassed illusions and spiritual power spells, seemingly capable of stealing a Great Saint's soul and shaking a Great Saint's will.
Only flower-type sacred medicines would actively approach her and grow close to her.
The others were so envious and jealous they howled.
"No wonder she is the Primordial Ancient Illuminating Divine Lotus (Minggu Zhaoshen Lian), the queen of all flowers. Moreover, these sacred medicines have all absorbed the power of origin, and she is an origin controller. Flower-type sacred medicines must see her as a mother. Even the Devouring Saint Flower (Shi Sheng Hua), after contacting her, became very close to her." Zhang Ruochen thought to himself.
With this in mind, Zhang Ruochen released the Devouring Saint Flower (Shi Sheng Hua) and had her stay here to watch over everyone and collect sacred medicines.
If they encountered any other aggressive plants, her Supreme Realm cultivation could hold them off for a while.
After making proper arrangements, Zhang Ruochen, A Le, and Kai Luo Earth Master followed the path opened by the Underworld King and the resonance (ganying) of the "Wordless Sword Manual," heading deeper into the Origin Divine Temple.
After walking for about a day, they saw a massive sword-shaped stone mountain in the distance.
This stone mountain was quite similar in appearance to the original form of the "Wordless Sword Manual," only more majestic.
Countless swords, like a school of fish, flew around the sword-shaped stone mountain.
On the halfway cliff of the sword-shaped stone mountain, Zhang Ruochen saw the figure of the Underworld King.
