The Arrogant Immortal-Chapter 75 - Successful Escape

At the bottom of the pool, the Spiritual Marrow revealed its true form.

It was crystal clear, looking like the essence of ice.

In the center, there was a large piece that only showed a small surface area, like the tip of an iceberg. One would have to dig it out to see how big it was, as even using Divine Sense wouldn’t reveal it.

Digging it out would also take quite some effort.

But Xie Jiuniang didn’t pay attention to that piece; she focused on prying out about a dozen smaller pieces with a Bone Knife. The largest was the size of a sea bowl, and the smallest was only the size of a fingernail.

Keeping track of the time in her mind, Xie Jiuniang felt it was about right and quickly ran back to the Tortoise Shell. She didn’t take the Array Plate with her, nor did she care about the Broken Sword she was digging out with great enthusiasm.

Upon entering the Tortoise Shell, that sense of danger disappeared once again.

Xie Jiuniang started to inventory her gains, and her heart pounded nervously at the sight of the dozen pieces of Spiritual Marrow.

Her objective for this expedition was achieved.

Even though there were still plenty of Spirit Crystals and Spiritual Marrow in the cave, Xie Jiuniang had no intention of digging any more.

She had an enigmatic feeling, as if what she had obtained now was just right. Any more and it could be dangerous…

“Why are you running, master? There is no danger!” Broken Sword flew back, shaking in the air, and on its enlarged blade, there were six or seven Spirit Crystals, “There’s a big piece of Spiritual Marrow in the pool, why didn’t you dig it out?”

Suddenly, Xie Jiuniang said, “The Spirit Crystals in the cave have an owner, didn’t you feel it?”

“I didn’t,” Jian Lingyan was puzzled.

Xie Jiuniang was even more puzzled, “That shouldn’t be the case. I can feel it. You can detect even Divinity Transformation, yet you sense nothing?”

“Is there really something there?”

Jian Lingyan felt that Xie Jiuniang wasn’t making this up and immediately flew out to search. After scanning the area over a dozen times, he still couldn’t find any anomalies, “If I can’t detect it, then wherever it is must be very special.”

Xie Jiuniang pondered.

She immediately picked up the Time Leaf.

Precognition, activate.

[She went directly to the pool, together with Broken Sword, and dug out the Spiritual Marrow, one and a half zhang high and more than a zhang wide.

When she tried to put it into the Storage Bag, it failed.

She tried again, and it failed…]

Suddenly, her Spiritual Soul felt a pain, everything went dark before her eyes, and she lost consciousness…

Nineteen breaths!

Xie Jiuniang came out, sweating profusely with her face pale.

As expected, that piece of Spiritual Marrow must not be disturbed.

Jian Lingyan anxiously circled Xie Jiuniang, asking hurriedly, “What’s wrong, master? Why did your Spiritual Soul suddenly become unstable?”

“We can’t touch anything else inside,” Xie Jiuniang said after recovering from a lingering headache, still rattled.

It was a bit terrifying!

What kind of existence was that?

Xie Jiuniang told Jian Lingyan that it was time to leave. She was informing him, not discussing it.

She gathered up the Tortoise Shell, Array Plate, and other items, grabbed the unwilling Broken Sword, and quickly made her escape along the path they had come.

What the departing Xie Jiuniang didn’t know was that the walls of that cave held hidden Array Patterns of a seal.

The small hole she had pierced had just compromised part of the seal, and her unintended placement of a Small Isolation Array indirectly aided a certain sealed entity within the Spiritual Marrow.

The Spiritual Marrow was shrinking bit by bit.

Something was absorbing it from the inside, and suddenly, with a crack, the Spiritual Marrow split open…

At this moment, Xie Jiuniang was sneaking back to where she had previously set up the Small Isolation Array, about to retrieve the Flying Boat.

“Roar, howl.”

It was a strange Water Beast sound.

Xie Jiuniang looked up and saw a gigantic Demonic Beast’s head appearing above the Formation.

Those eyes, the size of washbasins, were excitedly looking at Xie Jiuniang.

Jian Lingyan was furious, “Master, the Water Beast is too hateful, it wants to rob us, demanding that we hand over the things from underground.”

Xie Jiuniang suddenly realized.

Fuck!

She had been ambushed by the Demonic Beast!

The Water Beast knew there were treasures underground but couldn’t dig them up itself, which is why it had tolerated her digging. No wonder it had all felt so strange.

It didn’t kill her now because it also understood that a Cultivator’s possessions would be put into a Storage Bag.

Without Divine Sense, the Demonic Beast couldn’t take them out.

Xie Jiuniang shouted loudly, “Alright, it’s all yours! Catch!”

Then, with a swift wave of her hand, a large pile of sand and stones fell from the sky out of nowhere, hitting the Water Beast’s huge head!

The clear water instantly muddied on a large scale, as if a huge mud and rock firework had suddenly exploded underwater.

Xie Jiuniang seized the opportunity and grabbed the Broken Sword.

The second-rank Earth Escape Charm activated instantly, and in a moment, both she and the sword vanished from the spot.

A few miles away, she appeared and used another charm, escaping several miles away in just a few breaths.

The first thing she did next was throw out the Little Flying Boat.

Xie Jiuniang immediately jumped into it and activated the Hiding Talisman and Invisibility Talisman attached to the edge of the Flying Boat, then frantically steered the boat toward the water’s surface.

To escape the Water Beast’s territory, the best way was to soar thousands of feet into the sky.

After dozens of breaths, the Little Flying Boat successfully broke through the water surface and ascended a thousand feet into the air, securing her precarious life at last.

Jian Lingyan exclaimed excitedly, “Master, you’re amazing!”

“Of course!”

Xie Jiuniang’s face was smug with triumph, “If it weren’t for your master being cautious, after just a few days in the Secret Realm, we would have died several times over.”

From a distance, the Water Beast’s angry roars could still be heard.

“Roar, roar…”

“Roar, roar, roar!”

Jian Lingyan was startled and translated, “The Water Beast initially cursed us as thieves, now it’s angry as if someone has stolen the Spiritual Energy from its territory? Eh…”

Something’s not right!

“What’s that?” Xie Jiuniang was shocked as she looked towards the Water Beast’s territory.

Above the water surface, a huge vortex of Spiritual Energy was gradually forming, and the Spiritual Energy of heaven and earth, as if summoned by something, was furiously converging in one direction.

Water Beasts within a hundred miles, especially those of lower ranks, were trembling with fear. Those with higher intelligence had already started fleeing the area.

Because a terrifying existence was about to awaken.

Jian Lingyan thought of something and suddenly shivered, “Luckily, master, you pulled me out, or I would’ve been in trouble…”

“We need to get out of here, it’s not safe anymore,” Xie Jiuniang said, knowing that something terrifying in the Spiritual Marrow might have emerged.

“Roar, roar, roar…”

“Ah, ah…”

“Howl!”

In the midst of danger, due to this unforeseen event, roars were erupting from all directions, starting from the Wilderness Island Behemoth in the center and spreading across hundreds of miles.

The roars of the beasts surged on and on.

Xie Jiuniang simultaneously fled for her life and asked Little Jianjian to translate.

According to Little Jianjian, the Wilderness Island Behemoth, the overlord of the perilous land, had learned of a powerful intruder and was calling together its minions.
