I am really not a medical immortal.-Chapter 1615 - 1614: The Second Mountains, Rivers, Water, and Clouds Painting (Sixth Update)
"From now on, you will be responsible for attending to my daily needs and taking care of my meals," Zhang Xiaohao commanded.
"Yes, my lord! I understand!" Wu Xingyun responded respectfully.
"Don’t harbor any illusions in your heart. If I want to kill you, I won’t need anyone’s help, and you will surely die! What, from the look on your face, you don’t believe it?" Zhang Xiaohao said playfully.
"I believe in you!" Wu Xingyun replied.
Zhang Xiaohao flipped his hand, and five Chaos Divine Thunders appeared in his palm.
"Ah! Chaos Divine Thunder! How–how is this possible? Even I have no way to obtain a single Chaos Divine Thunder! Why are there suddenly five here?" Wu Xingyun exclaimed in shock.
"Hmph! Do I need to explain to you how I obtained them?" Zhang Xiaohao sneered.
"I was wrong! Please forgive me, my lord!" Wu Xingyun trembled in fear.
"Now do you believe I can kill you?" Zhang Xiaohao said coldly.
"I believe! Your divine skills are vast, I am in awe!" Wu Xingyun flattered.
"Where is the Mountain River Cloud Scroll? Hand it over to me!" Zhang Xiaohao ordered harshly.
Wu Xingyun dared not resist and slapped his waist with one hand, taking out a painting and handing it over.
Zhang Xiaohao grabbed it with one hand and unfurled the Mountain River Cloud Scroll, revealing a landscape painting in front of him.
"Not bad! Indeed, it is the Mountain River Cloud Scroll," Zhang Xiaohao praised.
With a single touch, another Mountain River Cloud Scroll emerged from the storage bag at his waist.
A miraculous scene unfolded as Zhang Xiaohao’s Mountain River Cloud Scroll appeared; a massive blue radiance rose from the two scrolls. Followed by countless rays of light bursting forth, the scrolls merged in midair before everyone’s astonished eyes.
Hiss!
A more powerful Mountain River Cloud Scroll appeared in the air, exuding a sky-blue glow.
Simultaneously, a realization flowed into Zhang Xiaohao’s mind.
"So that’s how it is! It had such a function all along!" Zhang Xiaohao nodded in satisfaction.
"My lord, what is going on? Merging two Mountain River Cloud Scrolls, doesn’t that mean our number of entries will be halved for nothing?" The Heavenly Lady said, furrowing her brows.
"Heh heh!" Zhang Xiaohao smiled mysteriously.
"My lord, why are you smiling?" The Heavenly Lady asked, puzzled.
"The number of entries hasn’t decreased but rather increased, why don’t you guess?" Zhang Xiaohao smiled faintly.
"Increased? How is that possible? Haven’t the two Mountain River Cloud Scrolls merged into one? Logically, how could the number of entries increase?" The Heavenly Lady expressed her doubts.
"I thought the same before! When two Mountain River Cloud Scrolls merged, the number of entries would decrease. But now, see if you can guess," Zhang Xiaohao teased.
"Hmm! Could it still be seventy-two entries?" The Heavenly Lady contemplated and said.
"Think bigger, be less constrained!" Zhang Xiaohao advised.
"A hundred entries!" The Heavenly Lady guessed.
Zhang Xiaohao shook his head again. The Heavenly Lady frowned and suggested a bolder number.
"Three hundred sixty entries!"
"Forget it, even if I let you keep guessing, you wouldn’t get it right! Let me just tell you! When the two Mountain River Cloud Scrolls merged, the mysterious energy increased, boosting the number of entries from thirty-six to seven hundred twenty!" Zhang Xiaohao explained with a smile.
"Ah! My lord, is this true?" The Heavenly Lady exclaimed excitedly.
"Hmm! If my guess is correct, based on my calculations, the more Mountain River Cloud Scrolls that merge, the more entries there will be doubling exponentially!" Zhang Xiaohao pondered aloud.
"My lord, if that’s the case, shouldn’t we seize other powers’ Mountain River Cloud Scrolls?" The Heavenly Lady’s eyes sparkled with excitement.
"Heh heh! With our current strength, who do you propose we take the Mountain River Cloud Scrolls from? Moreover, we don’t even know where the remaining Mountain River Cloud Scrolls are; how can we seize them? Even if we manage to obtain many scrolls without enough manpower, the additional entries would still be wasted!" Zhang Xiaohao explained.
"You are right, my lord. I was too rash," The Heavenly Lady admitted.
"I don’t blame you! I would think the same! Initially, we prepared for seventy-two entries; it seems we have to make some adjustments now! I’ll leave that task to you," Zhang Xiaohao instructed.
"Then what about you?" The Heavenly Lady asked.
"I’m going to check out this towering tree!" Zhang Xiaohao replied with a playful smile.
With a tap of his hand, the Heavenly White Jade Dragon Horse appeared before him. He leaped onto it and charged toward the massive thousand-foot tree.
Inside, he smiled wryly, thinking that if his cultivation had broken through to the Golden Core Realm, he wouldn’t have to bother with this; he could fly with just Spiritual Power. But for now, it was still a bit lacking!
A while later.
Zhang Xiaohao arrived at the base of this colossal giant. The thick trunk spread as far as the eye could see, thrusting deep into the Death Swamp. From the Death Swamp emanated a pure black aura of death, swirling upward into the sky.
In the vast Death Swamp, apart from this towering giant tree, no other plant was alive.
"Strange! There’s no poison on the surface, so why is this the only tree alive and for so long, while no other plant survived?" Zhang Xiaohao wondered.
But this question remained unanswered.
Shaking his head, Zhang Xiaohao stopped pondering and began closely examining the thousand-foot tree while riding the Heavenly White Jade Dragon Horse.
After a quarter of an hour.
Zhang Xiaohao stopped by the water’s edge and patted his hand to take out the merged Mountain River Cloud Scroll.
As soon as the merged scroll appeared, it caused ripples to reach into the water, and information appeared in Zhang Xiaohao’s mind.
"Hmm? A year until the Ancient Battlefield?" Zhang Xiaohao frowned.
Then his eyes lit up, and he put away the two merged Mountain River Cloud Scrolls.
His eyes gleamed as he gazed toward the direction of the Heavenly Lion Giant City.
"In a year, it’ll be easy to destroy you all!"
Then, Zhang Xiaohao, riding the Heavenly White Jade Dragon Horse, returned to the carriage.
With a wave of his hand, he put away the Heavenly White Jade Dragon Horse and roared, "Prepare to assemble!"
Whiz, whiz, whiz!!!
As Zhang Xiaohao’s words fell, the thirty thousand troops moved once again.
