Chapter 895: Chapter 895

Facing Chen Hai’s refusal, Li Xuanfeng was completely unconcerned.

When he brought up this topic, he never expected Chen Hai to agree immediately.

By saying these words now, he mainly wanted to show his high regard for Chen Hai.

If recruiting him once doesn’t work, then twice, and if twice doesn’t work, then three or four times...

The ancients spoke of making three visits to the thatched cottage; Li Xuanfeng was very patient about this matter.

Perhaps, after many attempts to recruit Chen Hai, he might be swayed by his sincerity and join him? Updates are released by 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩•𝗳𝗂𝗋𝖾•𝕟𝕖𝕥

"Taoist Friend Chen, with your current level of strength, if you wish to make further progress, you definitely need the support of a powerful backing!"

"For now, although our War God Palace does not have the backing of a Primordial Chaos Great Power, unlike Emperor Pan Palace, over tens of thousands of years, many strong individuals have ventured out from the Primordial into the Endless Chaos."

"Who knows, perhaps some ancestor gets lucky, attains the realm of Primordial Chaos in the Chaos and decides to return to the Primordial?"

"If such a thing happens, and you join our War God Palace, it would be quite fortuitous for you!"

"You might want to consider my offer seriously; as I’ve always said, as long as you are willing, the doors of our War God Palace will always be open for you!"

Chen Hai gave him a sideways glance, but Li Xuanfeng pretended not to notice, smiling as he continued his pitch.

Despite his annoyance, Chen Hai couldn’t really turn hostile and fight Li Xuanfeng over such a trivial matter.

Sitting cross-legged on the ground, he simply closed his eyes, unwilling to engage further.

The Mirror Moon Divine Stone he had just acquired piqued his curiosity, and he wanted to examine it thoroughly.

However, with Li Xuanfeng, Zi Feng, and others nearby, it didn’t seem appropriate to reveal it before them.

After all, Chaos Spiritual Treasures are extremely rare, their value surpassing even Innate Spiritual Treasures.

For these Quasi-Saints and Daluo Golden Immortals from the Primordial world, even an Innate Spiritual Treasure could incite intense rivalry.

Chen Hai, Li Xuanfeng, Zi Feng, and the others could form a temporary alliance for mutual benefit, but could also turn against each other for the same reason.

Though the Heaven and Earth Exquisite Mysterious Yellow Tower was powerful and precious, it was ultimately just an Acquired Spiritual Treasure.

With it fully refined and under his control, and given Acquired Spiritual Treasures cannot be used for Corpse Cutting, even if the others coveted the treasure, their greed could be suppressed in the Endless Chaos.

If Chen Hai were to bring out the unrefined Mirror Moon Divine Stone, such a temptation might induce unpredictable behavior from the others.

To avoid unnecessary trouble, despite his curiosity about the Mirror Moon Divine Stone, Chen Hai had to suppress his interest for the time being.

Unfortunately, the Eye of Greed Divine Skill had already been fully absorbed by him.

The Void Space at his brow, which could erode all treasures, had long disappeared.

Otherwise, he could have left the Mirror Moon Divine Stone there, and it would soon become fully usable to him.

Greed, after all, is one of the Six Desires of humans.

Chen Hai had already successfully crafted Gluttony and Reproduction into his own Supreme Divine Powers, but for Human Desire Greed, despite using the Eye of Greed as a foundation, that Divine Skill remained incomplete.

The Eye of Greed’s power to suppress all treasures was quite useful in certain situations.

But for now, due to the Divine Skill being fully absorbed, he could not manifest the Eye of Greed’s power.

Only once he completed the crafting of Human Desire Greed, could he regain that eerie ability to suppress treasures.

The time required could range from several months to several years, but it shouldn’t take too long.

After all, Chen Hai was not starting from scratch to craft this exclusive Divine Skill of Human Desire Greed.

With the Eye of Greed fully absorbed, the groundwork for crafting the Divine Skill was already laid.

On the other side, Zi Feng and Deng Chong were busy without a moment to rest.

With the Chaotic Giant Snake dead, its Quasi-Saint-level power no longer supported it, and though its scaly skin had softened considerably, it was still not easy to cut.

Only after three two-hour periods did they finally sort the more valuable materials from the giant snake’s body.

The materials collected were divided among Zi Feng, Deng Chong, and another individual, each receiving a tenth, while Li Xuanfeng, the main attacker and strongest among them, received two-tenths.

As for Chen Hai, who actually killed the giant snake, he naturally took half of the spoils alone.

This distribution, while not perfect, was considered mostly fair, and Chen Hai had no objections.

During the hours when Zi Feng and Deng Chong were dismantling the snake, Li Xuanfeng, who had been severely injured, had recovered seventy to eighty percent.

After dividing the spoils, the group didn’t linger around.

Led by Li Xuanfeng as before, they plunged out of the gray mist of Chaos.

On their journey, several cultivators who, unwilling to join Emperor Pan Ancestor, lost their way in the Endless Chaos after leaving the Emperor Pan Palace, joined Chen Hai’s team.

In a blink, more than three years passed.

"The mark I left when entering the Outer Heaven Chaos through the Thirty-Three Layers of Heaven has been sensed; unless missed, the Primordial world should be nearby."

"Indeed, this Outer Heaven Chaos looks the same all over with its gray mist, but I recognize this area. I am certain that when the Guiding Road appears, I will be at the point ahead!"

"Three years after three years, after being lost in this Chaos mist for so long, have we finally found the location of the Primordial world?"

In the hazy gray mist, figures began to slowly emerge one after another.

Upon confirming they were in the right place, when passing through the invisible barrier hidden within the gray mist could lead them into the Thirty-Three Layers of Heaven, back to the Primordial world, several in the group, now grown to over ten, couldn’t help but cry tears of joy.

The others, though not sobbing aloud, were equally elated, with obvious excitement on their faces.

"Fellow Taoists, I am Blood Blade Ancestor from the overseas Golden Light Island."

"Returning to the Primordial, I can hardly wait, so I’ll go ahead. May we have the chance to reunite!"

From the group, a bald man stepped forward.

After a brief word of farewell and a salute to the group, he stepped through the barrier and disappeared from sight.

Amongst the group, watching one teammate after another leave for the Primordial and enter the Thirty-Three Layers of Heaven, Chen Hai also stepped into the ethereal, unseen barrier.
