Chapter 1278 Ask That Man to Come and See Me “Now, take out all your jade plates. To enter Yellow Spring Town, you must have black and white jade plates,” said Jin Jiao as he glanced at Bu Fang and the others, his burly body blocking the entrance to the town.In fact, there were not many people left. Looking at the five contestants present, Jin Jiao couldn’t help but fall silent. Formidable teams such as the Winged Man Valley and the Abyss were wiped out. The West Little Buddhism Realm was nearly eliminated, while the Earth Prison team was just one step away from being annihilated at the last minute.

Although he knew that the semifinal would be cruel, he never expected it to be so terrible.

Bu Fang seemed to think of something and asked Jin Jiao, “Can you wait a little longer?”

That gave Jin Jiao a pause, while Fa Wu and the others looked at Bu Fang quizzically. All of a sudden, they seemed to sense something, and they all looked up into the distance. There, in the surging Yellow Spring River, a wooden boat was approaching the bank unsteadily.

Soon after, the crude wooden boat came ashore, and then four figures clambered out of it.

All the people present were shocked. Even the audience in front of the light screen gasped. The group of people who climbed out of the wooden boat were no strangers to them. They were the other contestants from the Immortal Cooking Realm: Zhu Yan, Mo Yan, Fang Yu, and Xuanyuan Xiahui.

“These four little fellows, who are merely Six-star True Immortals, have traveled through the forest and crossed the Yellow Spring River? They are… still alive?”

When Bu Fang saw them, he twitched the corner of his mouth and said lightly, “Well… here they are.” Then, with a thought, the void in front of him was torn apart. He reached into it, took out two black and white jade plates, and threw them out. The jade plates flew across the air and fell into Jin Jiao’s hand.

After scanning the jade plates with his thought, Jin Jiao said with a serious look on his face, “Very good. The Immortal Cooking Realm team got the black and white jade plates and made it to the next round.” His voice immediately resounded through the whole town.

Zhu Yan and the others trudged over from a distance. Covered with bruises and scars, each of them was limping and looked very miserable. Fang Yu even broke an arm. However, their aura had become much stronger.

Zhu Yan and Xuanyuan Xiahui had made great breakthroughs. Both of them were Nine-star True Immortals now, which surprised Bu Fang. Obviously, they must have found many great fated chances along the way. They looked much more confident now.

Although the journey was full of danger, it was accompanied by opportunities. As long as they could get those, their efforts and injuries were worth it.

Fa Wu also took out the black and white jade plates. With his strength, it was not surprising that he got the jade plates. The Earth Prison contestants also handed over their jade plates.

It happened that only three teams advanced to the next round, saving Jin Jiao the difficulty of choosing. He nodded and glanced at them.

“Congratulations to all of you for passing the semifinals and advancing to the finals of the team competition. The finals will be held in Nether Prison, but before you can go there, you must survive the individual competition,” Jin Jiao said, his voice a little deep. “There will be Nether Prison geniuses in the individual competition, and I hope you all survive in their hands.”

After that, he turned sideways.

The two Earth Prison experts thought for half a heartbeat before they sped into the Yellow Spring Town. Fa Wu also entered the town, but not before he had a few words with Bu Fang.

Zhu Yan and the others came to Bu Fang’s side. The confidence in their eyes had increased a lot.

“Come, let’s go into the Yellow Spring Town,” said Bu Fang.

Everyone nodded. Then, the five of them walked slowly into the town.

The crowd watching the light screen was silent. They found that the Immortal Cooking Realm team was the only team that had all five of its members alive after the semifinal. It was almost unbelievable. The Immortal Cooking Realm was lucky to have a talented expert like Bu Fang.

The Yellow Spring Town used to be deserted, but now it had become lively because of the tournament. A transport array was set up in the town, which was prepared for Nether Prison experts.

Bu Fang entered the town with the others. Many inns had been built in the town for the contestants. They followed the instructions and came to their inn. After Zhu Yan and the others had a quick word with Bu Fang, they all went into their rooms to recover and reflect on their experience.

Bu Fang was also a little tired. He lay down on the bed and relaxed his whole body. The pressure from the mysterious existence in the bronze palace had almost shattered his divine will, which showed that its strength was absolutely fearsome. Moreover, he had a feeling that they would definitely meet again in the future.

He didn’t think about dishes this time. Instead, he closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep. He wanted to give himself a good rest.

…

Earth Prison had become restless after the Senseless Lotus was picked.

All the forbidden lands had always been under the gaze of many powers. Now, with experts coming out of the Black Temple and the Cave of the Fallen Gods, this naturally attracted the attention of those said powers. In fact, not only Earth Prison powers, but Nether Prison powers were also attracted, and they had become restless as well.

Many people, after asking around, learned that the Senseless Lotus was picked by someone. This news caused an uproar among them, and many forces in Earth Prison sent their experts to seize the lotus without hesitation. They couldn’t let it fall into the hands of experts from the forbidden lands.

All of a sudden, countless experts all over Earth Prison began to move, rushing toward Yellow Spring Town. For a moment, it was as if waves of surging killing intent were pouring rapidly toward the small town.

…

At a remote area of Earth Prison…

BOOM!

A holy beam of light fell from the sky. The ground shook suddenly, then cracked and kept crumbling as a huge ball of light emerged on the surface and slowly broke apart. Then, its energy dissipated and drifted into all directions, bathing the surrounding vegetation in holy light. For a moment, it was as if a shower of light had fallen all around.

Suddenly, two pairs of white wings spread out, and feathers swirled in the air. The next moment, a gentle and sunny face appeared, with golden hair waving in the wind. This was a holy winged man in silver armor. The aura exuding from his body was extremely frightening.

“I can’t believe someone dared to kill his lordship’s grandson. He simply has no idea of death or danger… But with the help of his lordship’s clone, why would the boy get killed? It seems I have to observe the situation first…” The man thought for a moment and twitched the corner of his mouth, adding, “However, according to the intelligence, the man who killed the boy is only a One-revolution Little Saint… and he also got the Senseless Lotus. Now I have to seize the lotus from him as well. I’m so tired… I thought I could have a vacation…”

The man rubbed his blond hair with a look of helplessness on his face. Then, the two pairs of wings behind him suddenly flapped, and his body flew out in a flash of light, disappearing into the sky.

…

The night passed quickly. The inn rang with the sound of steady breathing. Bu Fang opened his eyes, breathed a soft sigh, and sat up from the bed. He rubbed his hair, then went to the window and flung it open. The fresh air came to him at once, while the sunlight cast down through the window, bringing him some warmth.

He twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, and with a thought, he entered the Heaven and Earth Farmland.

As soon as he entered the farmland, Bu Fang felt the surging spirit energy of heaven and earth pouring into his meridians like a torrent. That amazed him. He wondered when the energy in the farmland had become so rich.

“Oh! Owner Bu, here you are at last!” There was a cry of surprise from a distance, and then Niu Hansan came running over excitedly. “Did you do something huge again out there?” he asked with wide eyes. The changes in the Heaven and Earth Farmland thrilled him. After all, his glory was tied to this place.

Bu Fang didn’t say anything. He walked in the farmland and soon came to the Myriad Treasures Immortal Tree. Looking at the Senseless Lotus growing quietly on the immortal tree, his expression suddenly became strange.

‘So matching? Is it possible that the Myriad Treasures Immortal Tree and the Senseless Lotus are one? Also, the mysterious existence in the bronze palace said that if this lotus is made into a dish, it can help me ward off a calamity. What calamity is that?’

Bu Fang looked at the Senseless Lotus with deep eyes.

Just then, Nethery and the others came over. Bu Fang didn’t stay too long in the farmland. Soon, he left with Nethery. He had no plans to cook anything today, so he and Nethery left the inn and headed for the square in the town.

Since today was the individual competition and Zhu Yan and the others had already been eliminated, they didn’t leave their rooms. Instead, they continued to reflect on their experiences. This trip had brought them so much to digest.

There were not many people in the square. Most of the people who came to Earth Prison to participate in the tournament had fallen in the team competition. As a result, there were only about twenty to thirty people left for the individual competition.

The Wandering Soul Realm experts were horrified when they saw Bu Fang, while the experts from the other small worlds did not dare to get presumptuous in front of him. In this Netherworld’s Tournament of the Great Path, Bu Fang was a dark horse and could become the strongest man. Of course, there were also Fa Wu and the Earth Prison experts, who might be strong contenders for him.

Far away from the arena, there was a huge array. At the moment, all the Prison Overlords stood around it with deep looks in their eyes. All of a sudden, the array began to flash, and soon there were beams of light pouring out of it. The array had started to operate—some people were being transported.

Many people fell silent. They knew that the Nether Prison’s contestants for the individual competition were being sent over. Of course, these contestants were only part of all Nether Prison contestants. They were the second-best team of Nether Prison.

In the semifinal of the individual competition, ten people would be selected to enter the finals. They would go to Nether Prison and compete with the real geniuses from the nine clans of Nether Prison.

Everyone was in awe of the Nether Prison geniuses.

Bu Fang and Nethery also looked at the array from a distance. Of course, Bu Fang’s attention was not on the array. Yesterday, he was so tired that he fell asleep as soon as he got into bed. He had no time to think about how to get the Nine-leaf Yellow Spring Grass from the Yellow Spring Great Sage. If he wanted to brew the best wine, the Nine-leaf Yellow Spring Grass was absolutely indispensable. Therefore, he stroked his chin and was lost in thought.

After a short while, beams of light fell into the array, and many figures started to emerge in it.

The experts around the array were in an uproar.

Fa Wu put his palms together, and his eyes gleamed. He had long wanted to meet the geniuses of Nether Prison.

With a rumble, a wave of air swept out in all directions. The light in the array faded away and gradually showed the figures in it. Everyone was staring at the array. Soon, ten figures appeared in front of the crowd.

An uproar immediately rang through the town. The Nether Prison sent ten experts. Everyone knew that they were from the second-best team, but only ten people could go to Nether Prison for the finals of the individual competition.

The fact that Nether Prison sent ten experts here meant a lot. Were they going to sweep the top ten places in this semifinal?!

The ten experts landed on the ground and opened their eyes. Each of them crossed his arms over his chest and swept the crowd with an indifferent and aloof attitude. A terrible aura suddenly spread and made everyone present feel depressed.

“They are so… strong!” The pupils of an Earth Prison contestant suddenly constricted.

The ten Nether Prison contestants unreservedly released their aura. Among them, the weakest had reached the level of Two-revolution Little Saint! This kind of strength could crush all the other contestants!

The Netherworld’s Tournament of the Great Path had a specific age requirement—they must be top geniuses of the younger generation in their small worlds.

People thought the Winged Man Valley leader was already a top genius, but compared with Nether Prison’s geniuses, he was far too weak.

“Oh… It’s so lively,” said a Nether Prison genius as he glanced around.

“What’s the use of being lively? These people are just rubbish…” said the other genius with a faint smile.

The leading Nether Prison expert’s eyes swept the crowd. The pressure he exuded made everyone dare not speak again. This expert’s cultivation base was too terrifying—he had reached the level of Three-revolution Little Saint! This kind of strength was comparable to that of the older generation.

“I heard that one of you got the Senseless Lotus… He’s very lucky. Tell me, where is that man? Ask him to roll over and see me. If he’s willing to hand over the Senseless Lotus obediently, I can spare his life,” said the leading expert, grinning. The next moment, an incredible aura exploded out of him, sweeping across the whole crowd.

The faces of all the contestants fell instantly, and they turned their eyes to Bu Fang. Many people beamed with amusement as well. At the moment, however, Bu Fang was stroking his chin and thinking about how to pick the Nine-leaf Yellow Spring Grass from the Yellow Spring Great Sage.

The Nether Prison expert followed the crowd’s gaze and saw Bu Fang. The sound of heavy footsteps rang out, and soon, the expert was in front of Bu Fang, looking down at him.
