All the information Man Shi got about Zi Chen came from the Sword Sect. The two girls who were in seclusion didn't know about it.
Because they were far apart, first-hand information couldn't be transmitted quickly, so Man Shi didn't know that Yi Qian had entered the Star Path.
In fact, there weren't many people who knew about this.
In everyone's opinion, Zi Chen would marry Yi Qian and become a Saint.
Because no one could resist the temptation of becoming a Saint.
"Is this a deal?"
Dong Qing looked up at Man Shi. She hadn't seen Yi Qian before, but she heard from Jian Na that she was a very beautiful woman who had followed Zi Chen all the way.
"Of course it's a deal. You should know that she's from a different race, and Zi Chen is a human from the Zhan Wu Continent. They can only make a deal." Man Shi insisted.
The two girls looked at each other and saw a trace of sadness in each other's eyes. This sadness wasn't directed at them, but at Yi Qian. A woman who couldn't even control her own happiness was indeed a very sad thing.
As for Zi Chen, he deliberately destroyed a person's happiness in order to become a Saint. They didn't object to it, but they couldn't accept it.
Man Shi was still talking excitedly because he had seen Yi Qian before. She was indeed a great beauty.
"Hehe, this time Zi Chen defeated Ji Wei and got Yi Qian. It can be said that he has made the people of the Zhan Wu Continent proud."
At this moment, Man Shi was very excited. He didn't notice that Wu Xie was constantly winking at him, and the two girls were getting more and more depressed.
"Ahem."
A light cough interrupted Man Shi's words. Zi Chen walked over from afar and looked at Man Shi who was talking nonsense. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
He didn't know what he was talking about, but Man Shi seemed to have seen it with his own eyes.
He even made the Zhan Wu Continent proud. Yi Qian was a neutral party.
"Zi Chen, you're finally here. Tell me, did you beat off Ji Wei and get Yi Qian?" Man Shi asked Zi Chen with a somewhat nervous look on his face.
"Is this a good place to talk?"
As he spoke, Zi Chen took the initiative to walk out of the hall. When the others saw that Zi Chen's expression was somewhat serious, they all followed him.
Arriving at the main hall, Zi Chen closed the door. A beam of energy turned into a seal, isolating the entire room.
Seeing how cautious Zi Chen was, everyone was puzzled. Wu Xie asked, "What happened?"
Zi Chen waved his hand and said, "It's nothing. Everyone, don't be nervous. I won't be staying in the Sword Sect for long this time because I still have many things to do. Once I'm done, I'll return to the Martial Heaven Continent and enter the Star Path from there."
"You're not going to fight the alien tribes anymore after entering the Star Path?" Man Shi asked doubtfully.
"It seems that you also know that the alien races will start a war soon. I won't participate in the following battles. Moreover, it's not a big deal if I'm not there. As for you guys, you must take care of yourselves." Zi Chen said.
Although they were somewhat reluctant, they still nodded.
"Originally, we were discussing returning to Hu Ping City with you this time. Since you're leaving, then we'll return by ourselves," said Wu Xie.
"That's fine too. If the war starts, Hu Ping City will need your strength. But remember to be careful. That's right, before I leave, I'll give you something."
As he spoke, Zi Chen raised his hand and tapped his chest. A sickly redness instantly appeared on Zi Chen's face. Following that, his face paled as a drop of golden liquid appeared on his chest.
The moment this liquid appeared, it brought with it a tremendous pressure. Under the pressure of this pressure, the expressions of the four people changed.
"What is this?"
Asked Wu Xie in shock as he looked at the drop of golden blood. He actually felt a trace of danger from it.
"This is essence blood that I obtained by accident. I'll give each of you a drop. Refine it carefully. Don't let anyone else know."
Zi Chen gritted his teeth as his face paled once more. As the second drop of liquid appeared, the pressure in the room became even greater.
Afterwards, Zi Chen tapped his chest twice, and two more drops of golden liquid appeared.
The four drops of golden liquid were the essence blood of the God that Zi Chen had obtained before. However, as he had consumed too much of the Heart of the God earlier and had been trapped by the formation for so long, his cultivation had already fallen. As a result, the effects were greatly reduced.
If it were true essence blood of the God, let alone Wu Xie and the others, even Zi Chen would not be able to withstand the pressure from a single drop. His body would crack under the pressure, and refining it would be even more impossible.
Right now, the essence blood of the God was only equivalent to special saint blood at most.
"Bang." "Bang." "Bang."
As the four drops of essence blood appeared, the pressure in the room soared. The restriction that Zi Chen had set up earlier began to distort, and a series of explosions rang out. Some of the porcelain decorations in the room were unable to withstand the pressure and exploded.
Zi Chen paled. Zi Chen's hand shook, and the four drops of essence blood flew towards the four of them. The shocked four of them subconsciously released their own energy and began to envelop the essence blood.
Although the essence blood was ownerless, it was still somewhat difficult to tame it. It had to be known that the Heart of the God had only used half a drop of essence blood, which had consumed a great deal of energy, to cause Zi Chen's body to explode.
"Don't refine it yet. Tame it first, then slowly refine it," said Zi Chen in a low voice.
The four of them released their spiritual senses and could clearly sense the enormous energy contained within the essence blood. They all carefully tamed it.
Looking at the four of them taming the essence blood, another golden sphere appeared in front of Zi Chen. After this sphere appeared, Zi Chen's aura clearly weakened.
Looking at the golden sphere in front of him, Zi Chen's expression changed. He once again pointed at his chest. The pressure that had disappeared earlier reappeared, and another drop of golden blood appeared.
At this moment, a drop of essence blood and a golden sphere floated in front of Zi Chen. Zi Chen closed his eyes and quietly waited for the four of them to tame the essence blood.
After a while, the four of them completely enveloped the essence blood with their energy. Then, they forcibly pulled the essence blood into their own world.
After doing this, the four of them opened their eyes and looked at Zi Chen with joy and excitement.
However, this joy and excitement was replaced by astonishment when they saw the two glowing objects in front of Zi Chen.
"This drop of essence blood is for Shangguan Hong. As for the golden sphere, it contains my three most powerful strikes. You can place it in the statue in Huping City. Once there's danger, just activate the seals."
As he spoke, Zi Chen shook his hand again, and the two golden lights, one large and one small, flew directly towards Dong Qing.
The pressure within the essence blood had already been suppressed by Zi Chen's energy, so there was no need to tame it. Dong Qing directly took the two items away.
Zi Chen was still pale, and his aura was slightly weaker than before. Clearly, giving out these items had taken quite a toll on him.
Zi Chen smiled gently when he saw how worried everyone was, "I'm fine. I just can't control this power. I'll be fine after some rest."
Seeing how tired Zi Chen was, Dong Qing couldn't bear to see him like this, but she was also very conflicted. She was still thinking about what Man Shi had said earlier. After a moment of hesitation, she still asked, "Are you not going to become a Saint?"
He turned his head to look at Dong Qing. The two of them looked at each other and saw the smile in Zi Chen's eyes. The latter blushed and lowered her head in embarrassment. Clearly, her little scheme had been completely seen through by Zi Chen.
"Yiqian has already left. She's embarked on the Star Path," Zi Chen smiled.
"Left? Why did you let her go? That was a great opportunity." Man Shi was stunned and felt that it was a pity. Wu Xie felt the same way.
"How could I use this kind of thing as an exchange?" Zi Chen still had a smile on his face, but he didn't feel the slightest bit of regret.
Although they felt that it was a pity, Man Shi and Wu Xie looked at Zi Chen with admiration.
Zi Chen was Zi Chen, and he was still Zi Chen.
After only staying here for half a day, Zi Chen headed towards the First Mainland. The Heaven Plane cultivators who stayed in this world were destined to be unable to break into the Saint Plane. They had to fight the foreign races here, and their cultivation levels would only end at the peak of the Heaven Plane.
However, Zi Chen didn't persuade the four of them to enter the Holy Road. He didn't even suggest that they could explore the Holy Road after the battle.
The Holy Road was very dangerous, especially the Star Path of the Zhanwu Continent. It was known as the most dangerous Star Path.
He didn't want his friends to take risks. Even if they were weaker, it was fine as long as they were alive.
"After the battle, we'll set foot on the Star Path."
Seeing Zi Chen leave, the four of them thought to themselves. Zi Chen didn't want them to take risks, but they also didn't want Zi Chen to face all the pressure alone. They wanted to share the burden with Zi Chen and become Zi Chen's companions and followers.
After returning to the First Mainland, Zi Chen went to the second clan. The negotiations went very smoothly. This didn't mean that those clans were easy to talk to, but that in the Zhanwu Continent, where there were no Saints, Zi Chen was now the number one person, the true number one person.
His words naturally carried a lot of weight.
Two days later, Zi Chen came to the Thunder Clan again. This surprised the people of the Thunder Clan, but then they cheered. They thought that Zi Chen was going to stay here for a long time.
"Send me to the Tianwu Continent. After I leave, destroy this teleportation formation."
Zi Chen explained the reason for his visit. This caused the Thunder Clan members to be extremely disappointed. This transmission array hadn't been used for many years. But now that it was destroyed, the Thunder Clan members were unwilling to part with it.
After the suggestion failed, everyone had no choice but to agree. Hence, the pale-faced Zi Chen entered the teleportation array. As the light of the teleportation array flashed, Zi Chen's figure disappeared in a flash.
Just after Zi Chen disappeared, Lei Meng put away the sphere in his hand. At the same time, he sent out a beam of energy. This energy landed on the teleportation formation. With a rumbling sound, the teleportation formation exploded.
