The Against Heaven
Chapter 113: Green Copper (1)
In the past thirty thousand years, some people divided the area within the Evil Infested Ridge into many regions, and each region was around three to five thousand miles long.
Of course, this distance was calculated starting from the door they had just come to. The first starting zone within a five thousand mile radius is considered a common area. Although there were Heavenly Beasts and Longevity Spirits in that place, they were all under ten thousand years old. For powerful sects and countries, the area was safe for people to move around freely.
From five to eight thousand miles away, it was called a harvesting area. This area was suitable for the disciples of this sect to find treasures and kill Heavenly Beasts and Longevity Spirits for their beast marrow, dao bones, longevity blood, and life rings.
Plus, the danger is not too great inside this area. Thus, for a powerful sect, this territory belonged to them for disciples.
Around a nine to fifteen thousand mile radius lies the area of challenge. Only Royal Nobles would dare to go inside. There were many hundred thousand year old beasts in this place. Ordinary disciples would only seek death if they entered.
This area was the zone for Named Heroes and Royal Nobles because the items here were more suitable for them and usually gave outstanding results.
Twenty thousand miles away is a dangerous area. Only Enlightened Beings would dare to go and dig up treasures and kill the ferocious beasts in this zone.
After twenty thousand miles is a very dangerous area. How dangerous it is depends on one's luck. If one was unlucky, then they would meet a five hundred thousand year old ferocious beast. If one's luck was worthy, then they would meet a three hundred thousand year old ferocious beast.
Naturally, these areas gave birth to incredible treasures and metals, along with medicinal herbs. The corpse of this ferocious beast had a very high value and would make others into lusts as well.
After thirty thousand miles, no one dared to enter this area. There are some people who consider this as no man's land. There was a chance to meet a one million year old beast within this area. To go inside is to seek death. Even Enlightened Beings would not be enough to fill the gap between the teeth of this ferocious beast.
As for how big this no-man's land was, no one could explain because no one had ever entered this area. It's looking to die if it comes in!
There was a rumor that deep within the Evil Infested Ridge there was a legendary ferocious creature. Some people said that there were Heavenly Beasts and Longevity Spirits at the age of three million years, or even older, they were the highest of existences in this place. Even if a Virtuous Paragon were to encounter this ferocious beast, it would be hard to tell who would die at whose hands.
Other rumors state that there are evil demons lurking inside, living legends of the demons. Even Virtuous Paragons would only seek death when they met him.
No matter what, no one dared to enter the no-man's land, let alone the deepest part of the Evil Infested Ridge.
The sect within the ridge immediately took action. No one wanted to linger even half a second because someone else could have taken their territory during this wait.
In a short time, this remote area became very lively. Sects who knew that they used to occupy common areas and raid this place thoroughly to find treasures. The stronger sects went to the harvesting area. These sects all had elite members that numbered from several hundred to a thousand. They were like a storm as they swept over the Heavenly Beasts and Longevity Beasts in this zone for their longevity blood and dao bones!
As for the challenge area, only the great lineages claimed this area. Only the Southern Heavenly Kingdom, the Jiang Zuo Clan, and the Heavenly Jewel Kingdom dared to enter. As for the Violet Cloud Sect and the Flying Dragon Lake, they could only enter the harvesting area.
“Wan Little Ge Wa actually dug up a piece of Three Rune Grand Dao Metal!”
On this ridge, countless eyes were staring at others. Any sect that can obtain something good cannot hide it from the eyes of others.
“Master Sect Fei Xie Zong was able to pluck Green Fruit And was eighty thousand years old! He was lucky enough to find a spirit fruit for the Blood Medicines. ”
“Secte Bao Ju and the Dao He Alliance chased the hundred and eighty thousand year old Longevity Spirit for over a thousand miles before they could share the longevity blood and life ring.”
Naturally, there were also sects that worked together to ambush ferocious beasts for their blood and bones.
“Holy Land Ji Shan dug a hole as deep as a thousand zhang at the top of the mountain and was able to find the Five Rune King Iron!”
There were also sects that gathered their disciples to dig the ground, and they found Grand Dao Life Metals!
Grand Dao Life Metals were the materials needed to make Life Treasures. Each cultivator could use it to refine their own Life Treasure.
It was different for a True Treasure. For a cultivator, there was only one True Fate, so the majority of them only had one True Treasure. However, the Treasure of Life was different. One of these metals can purify one or two Treasures of Life.
Thus, the materials for the Treasure of Life were in great demand, and were even hotter than Destiny True Crystals.
There were two types of materials needed to make a Life Treasure. First, the Grand Dao Life Metals; second, the dao bones of Heavenly Beasts.
Dao Bones could be obtained by killing Heavenly Beasts, but the Grand Dao Life Metal had to be dug out from the ground. Plus, higher grade metals are only found in hazardous areas.
The Grand Dao Life Metal, spirit pills and medicinal plants, the marrow of ferocious beasts and dao bones. Every cultivator who came to the Evil Infested Ridge all got various beneficial harvests.
News kept coming, but the Evil Infested Ridge was also bathed in blood. This blood not only belonged to the Heavenly Beasts and Longevity Spirits, but also from the cultivators who died at the beast's hands.
When cultivators killed Longevity Spirits, the ferocious beasts and spirits within the Evil Infested Ridge also considered this a big party moment. Many powerful creatures constantly move to hunt their own prey.
“Five hundred disciples of Heart Seeking Mountain met a two hundred thousand year old Heavenly Beast. They were all slaughtered in battle! ”
“The disciples of the Red River Valley accidentally went into the fire cave and were trapped to death, inside. In the end, only the ruler of the valley could escape; the other disciples were burnt to ashes!”
However, the dangers on the ridge were not limited to only Heavenly Beasts and Longevity Spirits. There are dangerous reasons that can devour humans as well.
****************
At this point, the entire ridge became a huge feast. Whether it was for cultivators or for Heavenly Beasts and Longevity Spirits, the two sides started fighting each other and the annihilation had begun. The smell of blood remained in this world. Although there is good news every day, there are also scattered nightmare stories.
However, the sect and country that were strong enough won in all their battles. No one could stop them as they swept through the entire direction. Their rich harvest made the eyes of others turn red with envy, such as the Heavenly Jewel Kingdom or the Heavenly South Kingdom.
“Marquis of the East River killed a two hundred thousand year old Heavenly Beast!”
Within a few days, there was news that caused everyone to change their expressions and shudder.
“A Heavenly Beast is two hundred thousand years old? Even a Royal Noble could not defeat him, how did the Marquis of Eastern River kill him?”
Someone was skeptical, and asked.
“Marquis of the Eastern River has a thousand riders forming “Formation of Six Wise Kings”. They trapped the Heavenly Beast for three days and three nights before finally killing him.”
An eyewitness explained.
When meeting a two hundred thousand year old Heavenly Beast, even Royal Nobles would be afraid and would even retreat, yet the young Marquis of the Eastern River was able to kill him, absolutely incredible.
“Formation Six Wise Kings!”
A person who knew of this grand formation took a deep breath.
The Six Wise Kings Formation was a grand formation of the Jiang Zuo Clan, used to protect himself. It was created by Virtuous Monarch Jiang Zuo, and had killed Heavenly Kings and Virtuous Paragons!
Someone was amazed by the strength of the Marquis of the East River and emotionally said:
“Although the Marquis of the East River was only granted the title Hou by the country, he had one foot in the realm of Royal Nobles and already possessed the power of Royal Nobles.”
The people sure of the Marquis of the Eastern River were also envious that he could snatch the beast marrow and dao bones from a two hundred thousand year old Heavenly Beast. This is a very good and valuable item.
“Nantian Hao luckily went inside the ancient cave and took the Green Copper, part of the Six Runes Sacred Copper!”
The strength of the Marquis of the East River left others dumbfounded, but the luck of Nantian Hao was also a coincidence. In just a few days, this news was widespread.
“Copper Green, Six Runes, ah! This is a good item, even millions of fine crystals will not be able to afford it.”
Someone who heard this news felt envious and jealous and said: “The area of challenge does have a lot of incredible treasures. He even had Six Rune Saint Copper!”
Hearing this good news, many cultivators took risks and ventured into the area of challenge. Of course, to many of these cultivators, this welcomed their deaths.
Grand Dao Life Metals were born naturally into this world and had innate dao runes. Only those with dao runes were officially called Grand Dao Life Metals.
Each of them contained dao runes from the ancient era! These dao runes were called Grand Dao Metal Rune or Grand Dao Life Metals. To Life Treasures, these metals were indeed too precious.
For example, when Grand Dao Life Metal has the dao rune “Api”, one can fix it using “Violet Fire Merit” or “Heavy Flame Law” to fuse it and turn it into a Grand Dao Metal Rune.
Using merit laws corresponding to the same element while refining this metal would result in the Treasure of Life with double the power.
