All Things Are Contracts

Chapter 90: Leaving the Island

Inside the Azure Sky Secret Realm, a black venomous snake with three heads was battling Zhanyue. Each head could spray different venoms. Zhanyue, clad in battle armor, did not fear this sixth-level demon beast. Behind the demon beast was a giant fruit tree it was guarding, with a golden fruit the size of an ostrich egg. The light-transmitting mirror didn’t even have a record of it, its value unknown.

“I can’t beat seventh-level demon beasts yet, but as for you, die for me!” Dodging all the venom by going underground, Zhanyue arrived behind the venomous snake. He hurled his square sky halberd, firmly nailing the black snake to the ground.

Then Zhanyue gathered power at his fingertips, continuously firing Scorching Heaven Fingers. One after another, charred holes appeared on the black snake’s three heads. Accompanied by the eruption of terrifying flames, soon the three heads ceased struggling.

“Although I can kill sixth-level demon beasts now, forget about getting revenge on that Jade Tribulation Beast. After all, that thing has divine beast bloodline, it’s not an ordinary seventh-level demon beast.” Zhanyue directly stored the sixth-level demon beast corpse into his personal space. This space was incomparably vast, who knew how much it could hold. The Heavenly Hand Link left by the Jade and Stone Twin Sages was truly a top-grade space divine art.

“Time to go back.” Zhanyue sighed with regret. There wasn’t much time left.

Taking stock of his wealth, he still had six top-grade spirit stones left. These days he had hunted two sixth-level demon beasts. He now had 3 sixth-level demon pellets, 9 fifth-level demon pellets, over 20 fourth-level demon pellets, and a chunk of Divine Steel the size of a fist, as well as some finger-sized fragments. These were things Zhanyue planned to exchange for points. The scrap metal collected from everywhere, who knew what materials they were, could also be exchanged. Besides this, he still had nearly a hundred spirit fruits and a hundred spirit plants, more than half of which were sent by Fire Lynx. Of course there was also that golden fruit he just harvested. Just smelling it once seemed to advance his cultivation.

“This trip has been quite a harvest. This Human Heritage Realm is truly full of treasures. These are all things left by the Human Race ancestors of the previous Primal Era for us. Sooner or later we will take them back.” Zhanyue thought indignantly. After going out, he had to inquire properly about the so-called inheritances of the Nine Emperors of the Void Heaven. Activating the Transmission Jade Talisman, Zhanyue’s figure quickly appeared on Ghost Island.

“You’re finally back. What have you been throwing into the space day after day, it’s filthy.” Baizhi complained. That three-headed snake corpse was still floating in her space, disgusting to look at.

“Sorry, didn’t have time to deal with it. Oh? You entered the Profound Realm?” Zhanyue looked at Baizhi in surprise, her temperament completely different.

Baizhi nodded. “Mm, after returning to Ghost Island there was no need to keep suppressing my cultivation. After taking some pills I entered the Profound Realm.”

Zhanyue clicked his tongue. Others entered the Profound Realm like facing tribulation, Baizhi entered the Profound Realm like drinking water. Before in the Azure Sky Secret Realm she still had to forcibly suppress her cultivation. Comparisons truly are odious.

“Let’s go, it’s time to leave after exchanging points and rewards.” Zhanyue said.

Baizhi was stunned, somewhat reluctant. Staying here alone with Zhanyue only made her happy, but once they left all sorts of trivial matters would entangle them. The Bai Family’s issues needed to be resolved.

“It’ll be fine, trust me, I’ll help you find a solution.” Zhanyue saw through Baizhi’s thoughts and said while stroking her small hand, then pulled her to the point exchange area. The two wore black robes to conceal their auras.

The Ghost Shark clansman in charge of exchanging points looked at the two and let out an exclamation of surprise. He still remembered these two inseparable people in black robes. One was at the ninth level of Soul Control Realm while the other was at the sixth level of Spirit Communication Realm. Now about a year later, one was at the first level of Star Profound Realm while the other had reached the fifth level of the Soul Control Realm. They had both progressed at lightning speed, likely having some fortuitous encounter in the secret realm. The Ghost Shark clansman’s greedy gaze was unconcealed, just regretful that they couldn’t enter the secret realm. The Ghost Shark clan also knew these people would eat those spirit fruits inside the secret realm, but they didn’t need to stop them. Always have to leave some benefits for others so they would work diligently.

“You two, looks like you obtained quite a haul inside the secret realm.” The Ghost Shark clansman said with a smile.

At this moment, Baizhi stepped forward to trade with them. After all, on the surface Baizhi was in the Star Profound Realm, occupying the dominant position.

“Not bad, just had good luck.” Baizhi first took out some spirit fruits and plants, exchanging them for several ten thousands points, including the few things obtained earliest.

“Good, good, what else?” The Ghost Shark clansman said happily.

“These fourth-level demon pellets.” Baizhi took out nine fourth-level demon pellets and exchanged them for some points. This way it was reasonable.

“So many demon pellets from fourth-level demon beasts, your strength is truly not bad!” The Ghost Shark clansman exclaimed in admiration. You should know, fourth-level demon beasts had strength close to entering the Profound Realm. Fifth-level was equivalent to the Star Profound Realm, sixth-level the Moon Profound Realm, seventh-level the Sun Profound Realm, and eighth-level and above was equivalent to the Spirit God Realm.

“There’s also these.” Then Baizhi handed over the broken weapons and armor she picked up, making the Ghost Shark’s eyes go straight!

“How did you get these things?” The Ghost Shark said, incredibly shocked.

“Don’t get excited yet, there’s also these.” Following that, Baizhi handed over some small chunks of Divine Steel.

“This is… Di… Divine Steel?” How could that Ghost Shark have seen this before, he was so happy he nearly fainted.

“My friend here possesses an Earth Traversal technique. Relying on it, he can go to places ordinary people can’t reach. No need to ask more.” Baizhi said mysteriously.

“Alright, alright, alright, I know the rules.” The Ghost Shark clansman accepted all the items and modified the point record on Baizhi’s token. It was nearly two million points!

That Ghost Shark clansman looked at the two with a somewhat complex gaze. He really wanted to know what the two experienced inside the secret realm.

Afterwards, Zhanyue and Baizhi also handed over their fragrant pouches to ensure they weren’t hiding anything private.

Without much delay, the two went to the trading area and exchanged all their points. The 《Thousand Hands Fire God》 Alchemy Technique was given to Baizhi by Zhanyue. It was a special glass orb. The moment Baizhi got it, she absorbed the memories inside. Zhanyue satisfactorily obtained the research materials on the ancient languages of various races. As for the remaining points, the two exchanged them all for ingredients for fifth-level pills which they urgently needed.

Under the dazed eyes of the Ghost Shark clansmen, the two returned their identity tokens and light-transmitting mirrors. After inspection, that mysterious Ghost Boat Master appeared again, but this time to send them off the island.

On Ghost Island, the Ghost Shark clansmen gathered together, looking at the Divine Steel in front of them, all falling into deep thought.

“What do you think? Should we make a move on them? Although this goes somewhat against the Patriarch’s decision, better to kill by mistake than let them go. Those two definitely have big secrets.” Someone suggested. They were still worried the two were hiding things from them.

“You dare disobey the Patriarch’s words? Just some treasures worth two million points and you can’t stand it? Feel like you got the short end of the stick? Really spineless.” A Ghost Shark clansman took the lead in withdrawing, no longer participating in the meeting. However, a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes.

“With the Ghost Shark Clan’s identity, naturally it’s not good to act openly. After all, the Patriarch won’t let us be active in the outside world. But I have planted some hidden agents among the Human Race. It’s time for these hidden agents to come in handy. Capture one alive, I want to see what secrets they have.” This Ghost Shark clansman revealed a spine-chilling smile.
