8 Stones of Eternity
Return to Jianming City.

Chapters 127. Return to Jianming City.

Cao Tian Jun flew down the Yellow River until he finally arrived at Iron Hill City. In the distance, he saw the Dark Forces trying to break through the extremely sturdy defensive fortress.

Duke Yu Jie and his troops were supported by the teachers and disciples of the Dark Black College, they were blocking the Dark Forces that were approaching the gate.

Cao Tian Jun continued to observe the battle, which was a Dark Force without a leader. Even in the absence of a leader, the way their attacks appear to be well-coordinated. They were focused on attacking the gate.

Surprisingly, whenever an energized punch or weapon hit them, their bodies were always regenerating quickly. Even if his head is hit by an attack, it always grows back.

Looking at the Dark Forces that were different from before, Cao Tian Jun was obviously astonished, because when fighting the Dark Forces in the Star Sea Kingdom, it was easy to defeat and did not come back to life.

Cao Tian Jun hypothesized that their abilities were due to the black fog energy factor. And, since the black fog had no one to absorb it, then the injured Dark Forces quickly recovered. Had the Stone of Eternity been gathered all together, he couldn't have wasted the opportunity to absorb the black fog.

He looked at Yu Zhong, the teachers and disciples who had come from behind the Dark Forces, they immediately attacked.

Cao Tian Jun turned into air and shot towards the Golden Pagoda to retrieve the Solar Plexus. It didn't take long, he had arrived at the Golden Pagoda. As Crown Stone said, the pagoda was not under strict guard against the Dark Forces.

Less than a single stick of incense, Cao Tian Jun had taken the Solar Plexus without any obstruction. Now, by having Solar Plexus, he was able to stop the time longer than before for two breaths (6 seconds), and can also be used again after a quiet time limit (cooldown) for one stick of incense (30 minutes) has passed.

With a note, the Time Stopping skill applies to cultivators under Cao Tian Jun's strength. If used for a stronger opponent, then the effect is reduced by 4 seconds. The reduced cooldown period depends on the level of the cultivation base.

He sighed heavily for not knowing the whereabouts of the Sacral Stone.

"Are you guys not able to track down the Sacral Stone?" his tan was full of hope while looking towards Iron Hill City.

"There's actually a way to track it, but it requires Soul Power energy. If the Sovereign wills, we will use your Soul Power!" answer Crown Stone.

Cao Tian Jun thought about it, whether to use Soul Power or not. The problem was, if it used his Soul Power, then he would not be able to use its power as it would be drained out. In order to recover it, he needed a Soul Energy Restoring Pill, unfortunately the pill had been used up.

To search for potions containing Soul Power was extremely rare, rarer than Holy Fruits. He had a Soul Power Energy Restoring Pill as well as a gift from his teacher.

Soul Power was very important to him because it was to fight against a stronger enemy. If the energy of his Soul Power was depleted, then he could only use supernatural energy and physical strength to fight against his enemy.

"In addition to the Soul Power Energy Restoring Pill, Rulers could double cultivate to recover Soul Power!" The Crown Stone once again provided a solution without needing to be asked by Cao Tian Jun, as the Stone of Eternity also required Soul Power.

Cao Tian Jun developed a warm smile from getting a solution. He had lovers who were ready to be invited to double cultivate, they were Wang Mei, Chu Sying Chun, and his three wives who were in the Star Sea Kingdom.

"Use it!" his Commandment to the Stone of Eternity.

Immediately six Eternity Stones shot out from Cao Tian Jun's body and twisted them. Then, the Soul Power energy was absorbed by the Stone of Eternity. He felt dizzy as his energy was rapidly decreasing. He immediately sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes. Then activate the Eight Soul Laws cultivation Book.

Because of the Stone of Eternity, from within his body came out many firefly energies that were smaller in size than dust. If anyone looked, the amount of firefly energy was like a sea of sand.

The firefly energy spread throughout the entire territory of the Twins Moon Continent at the speed of light. That energy entered the body of every life that moved to search for the existence of the Sacral Stone. The impact for any cultivator who had low or high strength, they felt an overwhelming headache.

The battle in Iron Hill City came to a halt when firefly energy entered their souls, not even the Dark Forces escaped the attention of the Eternity Stones controlling firefly energy.

The Dark Forces that came from the mystic beasts roared loudly from feeling a headache, the pain was many times more than that of a cultivator.

Yu Zhong, Duke Yu Jie and everyone were holding his head, they had never felt any more pain than this. They immediately sat down cross-legged and closed their eyes to endure the pain.

There was no one in the Twins Moon Continent's territory that the Firefly's energy passed through. Including the Heavenly Snake Queen who was in Jianming City, he also felt a headache. He saw his men in the Immortal Armament Shop rolling around with a headache.

"Why this? Is this due to the impact of the black fog?" muttered the Heavenly Snake Queen who was wondering to herself, she was still disguised as She Shimo.

He rubbed his head that was getting dizzy. However, he was shocked because his soul seemed to be being investigated by something he did not know. The Heavenly Snake Queen immediately sat cross-legged to block the strange energy emanating from outside of her...

Even Yao Lao, the envoy from the Dark Matter Lord also felt a headache. Like the others, he was also sitting cross-legged. He did not care about the army of mystic beasts that took many lives without being able to come back to life.

Fortunately, the headache is not intermittent, less than 2 minutes. After that, the face of every person who was infused with firefly energy, became pale, the body was limp, and the spiritual energy was drained away to endure the headache.

"Ruler, we've found the Sacral Stone!" crown Stone report.

"Where?" asked Cao Tian Jun excitedly.

"Brought by the Heavenly Serpent Queen!" answer Crown Stone.

Instantly Cao Tian Jun became uninspired as the Heavenly Snake Queen was much stronger than him. He thought the Sacral Stone was taken by Tian Sun. Had it been brought by Tian Sun, he still had plenty of ways to pick it up despite using dirty tricks.

"If you knew that shitty lady brought you, why don't you guys take it?" asked Cao Tian Jun who blamed the Stone of Eternity.

"Ruler, the Sacral Stone is stored within his Soul World. If it's stored inside the dimensional ring, we can easily retrieve it!" obviously Crown Stone to keep Cao Tian Jun from misunderstanding.

Cao Tian Jun sighed heavily while standing up, then looked out the window. To him, facing the Heavenly Snake Queen was more difficult than Tian Sun.

The Soul World is a private world and is in full control of its owner. Whoever the person is will not be able to intervene, and whoever is in the World of Souls, has certainly lived and died depending on the owner.

"How do I take it?" he mumbled thinking of ways.

Had the strength of the Heavenly Snake Queen been slightly stronger than him, he could have used the dirty way, which was to use the Double Cultivation Book that was capable of emitting aphrodisiac pheromones.

"Do you know his weakness?" Cao Tian Jun asked after not finding a way.

The Stone of Eternity did not immediately answer his question, but only for a moment. Then, the Crown Stone asked back before replying, "does the Sovereign know the purpose of the Heavenly Snake Queen chasing after you, even as if toying with you?"

"How do I know!" sahut Cao Tian Jun in a tone of annoyance at having just gotten to know the Heavenly Serpent Queen.

"Whatever he's been doing all this time, just to get your attention. As she once said when dealing with The King Of Dark Matter, you are her husband. Indeed, you and him have a marriage bond since birth, in other words there is a soul relationship with him. This bond is already the will of the Universe. Take advantage of this relationship to obtain the Sacral Stone. We're sure he'll give it to you!" revealed the Crown Stone after entering the Soul World belonging to the Heavenly Snake Queen, but only for a moment because of the rush known by its owner.

Cao Tian Jun silently obtained this information, an information he had not expected. All he thought about, how could the Heavenly Snake Queen give the Sacral Stone away without much effort? To him, the advice from Crown Stone was not as easy as it was to say.

"Hmm...!" Cao Tian Jun breathed out recklessly, "what can be done ... Getting something does require an extra fight!" he muttered and immediately exited the Golden Pagoda.

Inside the 7th floor of the Golden Pagoda, there was only a duplicate of the Solar Plexus, and that duplicate would last for 100 years.

Cao Tian Jun flew towards Jianming City. While crossing the Iron Hill City, he saw the Dark Forces retreating across the Yellow River, and there were only human troops affected by the black fog, while a mystical beast lay before the city gate.

He also looked at Yu Zhong and the others who were pale-faced and limp, like they were running out of spiritual energy. Cao Tian Jun did not care about their condition, and left Iron Hill City unbeknownst to anyone.

Along the way to Jianming City, he saw many people who were also exhausted, what a strange circumstance for him to not know the cause.

Finally, he arrived at his destination city at night. Cao Tian Jun deliberately did not use the teleportation skill due to saving spiritual energy. If his Soul Power did not run out, he would have been reluctant to fly because it was slow.

Because he wanted to obtain the Sacral Stone, he did not use a disguise. His handsome face and recognizable as the first champion participant of the tournament in the Upper Cloud Temple, clearly attracted the attention of many residents.

Many of the townspeople were acquainted with Cao Tian Jun, hoping to benefit from his fame. His arrival was heard by the leader of Jianming City named Lang Shing, titled Duke.

Duke Lang Shing welcomed Cao Tian Jun's arrival, and took him to the City Hall. During the trip, Duke Lang Shing spoke a lot, and mostly praised his prowess in revealing the cheating of some educational institutions.

Cao Tian Jun occasionally chimed in, but both of his eyes focused on searching for the existence of the Heavenly Serpent Queen. But, the Heavenly Eyes did not discover its existence.

"Does Junior Jun already have a lover?" ask Duke Lang Shing.

"Many!" Cao Tian Jun replied in a short but honest manner.

Duke Lang Shing laughed as he had expected Cao Tian Jun to have many lovers. After laughing, she said, "i have two daughters, they are 17 years old and the oldest is 20. They were also talented in the field of Beast Tamer and Formation Array. Are you not interested?"

Cao Tian Jun glanced at Duke Lang Shing, he knew the direction the old man was talking about.
