Chapter 2731 The Sacred Crystal


    Violet casted her gaze upon Austin.


    "I''ll stay with you, master," she said.


    The gnome, on the other hand, informed Austin, "I''ll explore this ce on my own."


    After a short pause, Austin eventually nodded in agreement. He shifted his attention towards Sherman


    and awaited its response.


    "All right," Sherman muttered after a few seconds of silence. "I will give you all the rest of it."


    As it recognized what Austin desired, it threw the two big cloth bags at Austin.


    Austin bent down and opened the bags. Reaching out his hands and fumbling inside, he obtained ten


    Purple Thunder Bombs and handed them over to the gnome. As thetter received the items, he


    immediately rushed towards the pces.


    The extent of the gnome''s power could match a master at the Immortal King Realm. He was proficient


    at spatial power, and his spiritual sense wasmendable. Even from a faraway distance, he could


    perceive danger, thereby avoiding unnecessary damage before it could happen.


    As Austin watched the gnome speed towards the pces, he curled his lip incency—he didn''t


    have to worry about the gnome. He was strong enough to fend for himself.


    Then, he turned his head and addressed Caroline, Ivy, and Sue, "Girls, you''reing with me."


    As soon as Austin said so, these three attractive women immediately rushed into his side.


    All three of them would go to hell and back even without Austin''s request. After all, he was their


    husband. They all trusted him that he would keep them safe. For them, they would always be home in


    his presence.


    Obviously, the divine silkworm and the little infinity beast would explore the pce with Austin. They


    jumped on his shoulders merrily.


    Then, Austin once again opened the cloth bags and fished out the Purple Thunder Bombs. He handed


    them to Bray, Stacy, and Peacock Princess.


    Austin valued his friendships, and he cared for them deeply. He always looked out for them and sought


    out what would be best for them. After all, they were still young, and their cultivation base was rtively


    lower.


    Therefore, Austin didn''t mind sharing the treasures with them.


    After that, he transported all the evil creatures out of the ve Tower. He asked his demonic avatar to


    pretend to be Devil Ancestor Thanos and let it go to protect the creatures of Immortal End World with


    the evil creatures.


    "Brat, you''re really a good leader.


    But sometimes, you just worry too much.


    Every cultivator has to go through their own setbacks and difficulties in life to enhance their power.


    If you keep on wrapping them on cotton wool, they would eventually have to rely on you.


    Think about it, did anyone protect you before the way you are protecting them now?"


    The holy yellow tree shook its head in disapproval. It reminded Austin that he had to step back once in


    a while to allow his friends spread their own wings.


    This remark actually flipped a switch within Austin.


    He furrowed his brows in deep thought. ''The holy tree had a good point. I do worry too much.''


    He felt like he had more responsibility to protect the people as he got even stronger.


    Therefore, he became a tad bit overprotective towards anyone who needed his help.


    "Ha-ha!


    You''re right. I''ll just let them be!


    Let''s go!"


    Austin slumped his shoulders and allowed himself to ease a bit. He let his worries subside for now and


    trusted that his friends would be able to get by.


    Sherman led the group, flying into the distance, with Austin and hispanions closely following him.


    So far, the people who had entered the Celestial Pce were the men from the underworld, the Divine


    Sect, the Heavenly Pce, the Yaksha Pce and some other powerful forces.


    Austin, along with the eight holy trees, had stepped into the Celestial Pce ahead of them. The


    pce was vast and it upied arge area. Endless colorful clouds and fogs surrounded the whole


    ce, making the spiritual sense unable to work.


    Therefore, the great masters who looked for Austin and the holy trees through their spiritual sense had


    a hard time doing so.


    "Let''s split up and search for that holy tree," a middle-aged man d in a purple robe boomed to his


    men. He balled his fists in frustration, and added, "Once any of us finds it, we have to inform each


    other."


    He dismissively waved his hands and, like dandelion seeds, he and his people all flew in different


    directions.


    One of the three masters from the underworld also had a mission to fulfill. "Split into three teams, and


    act separately!" he bellowed.


    His eyes were narrowed, rigid, and cold.


    As he ordered them to do so, the three masters rushed into the distance, and each of them took a


    group of corpse soldiers with them.


    Members from the Heavenly Pce, the Yaksha Pce, the Star Ind, and the Sword Pce were


    also split in groups to maximize their efforts.


    Meanwhile, more and more people from various forces were crowding in the Celestial Pce.


    The Celestial Pce had be relevant once again, attracting the attention of numerous creatures


    in the whole universe.


    They were all swarming like locusts towards the pce.


    Among these crowds congregating towards the Celestial Pce were people from the Evil Shadow


    World, the Tycoon World and the Ancient Celestial World.


    Evil Shadow King, Elroy, and Damon were spearheading their troops.


    They hadn''t had the opportunity to see Austin just yet since they journeyed to the pcete.


    Within the Celestial Pce, the middle-aged man from the Divine Sect moved forward.


    ''The eight chaotic immortal trees are here. If we can sessfully catch them, we will have a chance to


    get Peterson the Taoist Ancestor, his treasures.


    I bet his valuable things are not in this Celestial Pce. So I should focus on getting the eight chaotic


    immortal trees instead.


    The twelve chaotic immortal trees are the most valuable treasures of the Immortal World. Now that I


    have the chance to get them, I will definitely get them this time.''


    The man furrowed his brows in contemtion.


    He was heading towards the direction of Austin and hispanions.


    "For now, our most critical task is to seize the eight chaotic immortal trees,"


    a master from the underworld clothed in ck cloak advised hispanions, using his spiritual sense.


    With this in mind, they flew towards Austin''s direction as if they had sensed him nearby.


    "The most essential treasure is supposed to be hidden in the depths of the Celestial Pce." The


    Heavenly Pce''s leader rose his piercing eyes after thinking heavily for a while.


    Then, using his bodily movement skill, he went deeper into the Celestial Pce.


    Meanwhile, the leaders of the Yaksha Pce and the Sword Pce, the emperor of the Sky Phoenix


    Kingdom, and the owner of the Star Ind shared the same thoughts with the leader of the Heavenly


    Pce. Hence, they all delved deeper into the Celestial Pce.


    While every other leader was preupied with their tasks, Austin, along with Sherman and his other


    Along the way, Austin had spotted many precious items inside the pces, but Sherman hadn''t asked


    them to stop.


    So he had to give up on them and simple followed the tree.


    As they carried forward, Violet was in awe of the things she noticed in the pce. She was tempted to


    scour every nook and cranny to look for treasures.


    However, Austin stopped her from doing so and insisted that they remain on their task.


    They went farther and farther and none of them knew the distance they traveled.


    After travelling for a day, they found themselves before an amazing sight. They stood in awe as


    mountains all loomed before them. Without a word passing between them, their hearts knew it to be a


    sacred ce and stilled their minds.


    The mountainsid in a great line like the spine of thend. It was as if long ago, there was once a


    great dragon, falling into an enchanted sleep, like its soul was still in there. The range was high to the


    west and low to the east, curling at the end like a tail.


    As they took in the surroundings, Sherman led them to the top of a towering mountain.


    On the summit of this mountain was a smallke.


    Theke was the finest of mirrors, never showing precisely what was above, but converting it to an


    image so beautifully smudged and broken. Fishes could be clearly seen swimming at its bottom.


    Alongside theke was a two-story house.


    "This is where that Taoist Ancestor cultivated."


    Sherman pointed at the solitary house atop the tallest mountain.


    As soon as it finished its words, the supreme holy tree dashed toward the house at full speed.


    Unwilling to be left behind, Austin and hispanions rushed towards the same direction the holy tree

    went.


    Observing from the outside, the house looked small. It looked more like a doll''s house than a human


    dwelling. Its bricks were old and crumbly and very pale red. It had a grey te roof and one small


    chimney, and there were two little windows at the front.


    But when they entered it, they were taken by great surprise. It turned out to be a huge pce.


    The space array had fooled them.


    "It''s the sacred crystal!"


    The supreme holy tree''s eyes lit up in excitement.


    Looking at the splendor before them, they felt like they were floating in the air. The floor was nketed


    with colorful shining crystals, a rainbow sea solely made of rock, as if it were a photograph of flowing


    colors.


    The geometric shards expanded in all directions. To Austin''s surprise, these brilliant crystals contained


    dense immortal energy.


    While the most of them stood there with their mouth agape, unable to contain their amazement, the


    supreme holy tree had already begun collecting the sacred crystals.


    "Now!" Once he snapped out of his incredulity, Austin immediately started collecting as well.


    He rolled up his sleeve and hurriedly took all that he could in one go.


    Compared to any other vital energy crystals in the universe, Austin knew that these crystals'' value was


    much higher.


    It would be of great help for cultivators to break through.


    Caroline, Ivy, Sue, Violet, the divine silkworm and the little infinity beast worked together. After a short


    while, they all managed to collect the divine vital energy crystals on the ground floor.


    As for the eight holy trees, only the supreme holy tree was scrambling for the sacred crystals. The rest


    of them stood there watching.


    The supreme holy tree was collecting for a different reason. It was after the mary joy of collecting


    these crystals, not that it really needed the treasure. The more treasures it collected, the more satisfied


    it was.


    "I don''t understand why you''re in such a hurry.


    For the Taoist Ancestor, these crystals are useless and that''s why they were used to pave the floor.


    Look, there are several old big wooden boxes over there. They are also full of sacred crystals."


    Sherman pointed at the nearby chests.


    "Are you kidding me?" Austin''s eyes widened in delight.


    He and hispanions were overjoyed. They immediately ran towards the boxes.
