Sovereign to Immortality

Chapter 66 – Pterin

The five of them stood at the waist of the western mountain peak and looked down the mountain. Right after the locust was killed by Hu Niu’s one swipe, the locust swarm that covered the entire mountain became chaotic.

Although the locusts did not seem to have any obvious order in front of them, there was always a general pattern to be found. For example, the giant locust would bring along the regular locust, moving from the south of the village to the southwest to attack and so on. From a general perspective, the locust swarm could maintain a consistent pattern of direction.

However, the locusts below the mountain were still blotting out the sky. However, they were in complete chaos, like flies that were scuttling around randomly. There were a large number of locusts that were flying away from the two villages from all directions, causing the locusts that were covering them to appear much fainter.

“Good, this insect king really can affect the entire locust swarm. Brother Jun Shan, today’s deed is done by two villages with more than ten thousand people, we owe you one!”

Yang Junshan smiled as he waved his hand, and said: “Today’s matter is the work of the five of us, not just me, but the Stone Village.”

Su Baozhang said with a stern face: “Brother Jun Shan, you don’t have to be modest, if you did not bring us up the mountain, I’m afraid we would not even know if the Insect King existed, not to mention if he was killed by you and Hu Niu in the end, most of the credit would go to you!”

Su Baozhang was clearly doing his utmost to protect Yang Junshan. Although the other three were unwilling to accept it, they could not find any reason to refute, but it was even more impossible for them to agree with Su Baozhang’s flattery.

“Oh, yes!” Yang Junshan smacked his head and said: “I actually forgot to collect my spoils of war!”

The other four looked at him strangely. It was only a few dozen giant locust, what spoils of war would there be?

Seeing that everyone was curious, Yang Junshan took down one of the giant locust’s wings and asked Zhang Huzi: “Hu Zi, your father is a smith, you should have learned a lot from your father, what do you think about this giant locust’s wings?”

Zhang Huzi’s eyes immediately lit up, and said: Ah right, how could I not think of it, that thing is thinner than paper, but it’s so sharp that it can even cut my arm, I have to bring it back for my father to see. Oh right, that giant locust’s hind legs are even stronger, it can even cut through the back of my hand, if it is used as a secret weapon …

Without waiting for Zhang Huzi to finish speaking, the others had already started to collect the giant locust s’ wings and hind legs. Zhang Huzi let out a loud cry and quickly joined in, although this brat was a little stunned, but the way he gathered this kind of material was not sloppy at all.

However, Yang Junshan did not do anything, because the best pair of wings had already landed in his hands, it was the thing on the locust. Unfortunately, that pair of hind legs was destroyed by the Rune Arrow, and he could not find them even if he wanted to.

Although the wings and hind legs of normal giant locust were also very sharp and hard, they were clearly not at the level of a weapon that could be used to refine weapons. On the other hand, the body and combat power of the giant locust s far exceeded that of normal giant locust s, causing the value of their wings and hind legs to greatly increase.

And from Yang Junshan’s point of view, this was because the giant locust guards were also infected with the demonic qi, and it was possible that the Spirit Demon locust had purposely contaminated them, although the demonic qi was not enough to make them turn demonic, it was enough to raise their strength.

Of course, the most important thing about the Demon Locust at the elementary stage wasn’t the material it had that could be used as a spirit material, but the celestial spirit within its body.

The spirit of the demonic beast that was transformed into a demon must have intelligence, and at the same time, it gave birth to a fairy. And the spirit of this demonic locust made Yang Junshan feel strange that it should still have that pair of wings, even though it was jusair of low grade immortal spirits, it was a real pair of wings!

After the Spirit Demon locust was killed by Hu Niu, the pair of wings revealed its true appearance due to losing the concealment of the Spirit Demon Qi. Luckily, Yang Junshan was already prepared, and quickly put away the pair of wings.

Celestial spirits could also be used as an example of spirit materials, just like the middle grade Divine Coldsteel Essence that Zhang Huzi refined, it was itself a spirit material that could be used to create middle grade spirit tools, however, the treasures that could be used between spirit materials and spirit materials was already extremely rare, and Yang Junshan had two wings in his hands, and most importantly, it was actually a pair of wings!

Previously, they had said that paired uair of immortal spirits were extremely rare, but this type of dual winged immortal spirit was most suited to paired up with a pair of immortal cavities below the ribs. As the saying goes, a pair of wings would form the ribs, but it seemed that a cultivator with such a strange immortal spirit cavities was even more lacking in the cultivation world than a pair of immortal cavities formed with both hands like Zhang Huzi and Yang Junping.

“Let’s go, let’s go down the mountain!”

Half of the materials on the dozens of giant locust s were taken by Zhang Huzi alone. The jubilant Zhang Huzi shouted and urged everyone to hurry up and go down the mountain.

Yang Junshan was naturally eager for everyone to leave the pomegranate forest. Although he was good enough as a cover, and was not worried that the extreme rookie in front of him could sense that something was amiss, Yang Junshan, who viewed this place as his own personal territory, naturally did not wish for everyone to linger here.

Due to the loss of the Spirit Demon locust swarm, the change in the village could not be hidden from Yang Tiangang and the other Martial Realm Cultivator s. However, at this time, the Spiritual Farmerad already returned to their respective Ling Tian s, it was not easy to organize them again.

At this time, other than the spiritual valley who were robbed, the rest of the spiritual valley s had already been devoured by the giant locust. However, at this time, the Tuqiu Village s were still protecting the Ling Tian in order to prevent the locusts from laying more eggs amongst the Ling Tian, and during the second year of farming, it was troublesome. Even Yang Tiangang and Han Xiumei’s wife had rushed over to the foot of the western mountain.

When Yang Junshan’s group of five came down from the west mountain, three middle tier Ling Tian s gathered at the village’s four Martial Realm Cultivator s. They had already heard from Yang Qianhai and the others that the five teenagers had gone up the mountain to kill the Insect King. The few Martial Realm Cultivator s couldn’t help but look at each other in dismay, not knowing that there was actually another Insect King amongst the horde of locusts.

However, the locusts in the village were running around like headless flies. Many of the locusts had even flown away from the village and were no longer as exclusive as they were when they attacked the village. It was as if they had lost control of the village.

Xu Sanniang asked in shock: “Brother Yang, I heard from the children that you told your son about the Insect King among the locusts?”

Yang Tiangang laughed embarrassedly, he had to complete this lie, and said: “It was just a guess, who would have known that this brat would take it seriously, he actually brought the Xu Family’s Little Brother and Brother Zhang’s Hu Zi to go, what an arrogant fellow, to actually teach him a lesson so casually!”

Xu Sanniang chuckled and said: “Seems like Brother Yang is quite lucky. Who knows, maybe these few children might have performed a meritorious deed!”

Blacksmith Zhang looked at the arrays set up around the Ling Tian of the Yang family and said: “Brother Yang, I didn’t expect you to be proficient in setting up formations, but what formation is this, its power doesn’t seem to be great, but against the locusts it seems to be impossible, since Brother Yang has mentioned it before. If we had this kind of array, we would not have such difficulty, could it be that Brother Yang had hidden some secrets?”

With both hands on his waist, he spouted out a mouthful of stars at Blacksmith Zhang, “Old Zhang, what do you mean by that? Based on what I have said, if my master did not lead the entire village to defeat the locust swarm, how many percent would the spiritual valley of the village have left? How many percent would your Zhang Family’s spiritual valley would lose? And now you’re blaming my boss for coming, having your conscience eaten by a dog? ”

Although he was furious, when he rushed from the south of the village to the Ling Tian, he had previously stopped a few farmers of the spiritual valley s. He knew that his own spiritual valley s had reaped eighty percent of the harvest, and although it was a few days earlier than the mature day, it was still enough to save seventy percent of the harvest in the past years. And to be able to keep seventy percent of the harvest after the giant locust disaster was already a blessing in heaven, and everyone in the village had witnessed it.

Seeing that the Blacksmith Zhang was being scolded so harshly, Han Xiumei could only snort and not speak. Seeing that the excitement was over, Xu Sanniang immediately advised: “We are all from the same village, and facing a natural disaster this time, we should work together. If there are differences, we can talk about it later.”

At this time, Yang Tiangang also said: “Brother Zhang, please let me know, my son’s formation ability is something that I do not know of, I believe that this brat had some fortuitous encounter, so he decided to set up this array, after all, formations are too profound, and cannot be learnt just because he wants to, if Brother Zhang has any questions, well, the children will be coming down the mountain soon, so Brother Zhang can ask!”

Even his father didn’t know the capabilities of his son, so it was natural for an outsider like him to ask about it in front of his father!

When Yang Junshan and the others went down the Western Mountain happily to return to the Ling Tian s, they saw that Yang Tiangang and the other Martial Realm Cultivatoad already rushed to the middle tier Ling Tian s and were exterminating them.

Compared to the previously chaotic scene of the teenagers, when the four Martial Realm Cultivatond a few Spiritual Farmers s who had reached the fifth floor of the Mortal Realm combined, it was much more relaxed, and the most relaxed amongst them was Yang Tiangang and his wife.

Han Xiumei, on the other hand, simply squatted on the stone platform in front of the stone table that Yang Qianhai was originally in charge of, and started to study the formation. As for Yang Qianhai, he had naturally driven himself to the side, not only him, but the other youths did not even need to look after the Jade Coins that was exhausted on the stone table after Yang Tiangang had landed on the stone table. Yang Tiangang’s own huge spirit essence was enough for the entire formation to operate smoothly
