Chapter 2821: Chapter 2821: Reluctant to Leave

"Kid, I think that Nine-Tailed Divine Fox Saintess has some feelings for you. When she left, the way she looked at you was full of affection and reluctance!"

The Great Might Divine King watched as the group of Nine-Tailed Divine Fox Clan experts disappeared, then winked at Fang Bai and chuckled, "Heh heh."

Fang Bai rolled his eyes, looking like he couldn’t be bothered to respond.

The Great Might Divine King continued, "However, with Rongrong around, that Saintess doesn’t stand a chance! Kid, my granddaughter’s beauty is not inferior to that of the Saintess, and she is also from the Human Clan like you. Becoming Dao companions with her will be mutually beneficial. I believe you should not refuse."

Rongrong was both embarrassed and angry, but had no way to deal with her grandfather, so she stomped her foot and said, "Grandfather, you should understand that to become Dao companions, both parties must have mutual affinity and compatibility. Otherwise, forced union is of no benefit!"

Her implication was that she had feelings for Fang Bai, but since Fang Bai already had a Dao companion, he was indifferent to her, making this one-sided love destined to bear no fruit.

She also believed that with her grandfather’s power, he could force Fang Bai and herself to become Dao companions, but such a result would be harmful to both parties’ future cultivation.

This was something Rongrong did not like, so she preferred to let her love slip away.

"A forced melon is not sweet! Rongrong is truly wise!"

Fang Bai cupped his fists to Rongrong to express gratitude.

Rongrong nodded to Fang Bai and managed a weak smile.

"Alright! Alright! I won’t meddle in your affairs anymore!"

Seeing his granddaughter not only not cooperating with him to "deal" with Fang Bai, but actually undermining him, the Great Might Divine King said with a sullen face.

Fang Bai and Rongrong stopped paying attention to the Great Might Divine King and each found a place in the Blood Wolf Clan’s underground treasure vault to sit cross-legged, relying on the Divine Power released by the abundant cultivation resources around them to nurture and cultivate.

Fang Bai had just advanced to the Divine Venerable realm earlier and had a fierce battle with the Blood Wolf Clan experts afterward. Only now could he seriously consolidate his realm and cultivation level.

With concentrated mind, he circulated the divine art imparted by the Great Might Divine King, his body absorbing and devouring the surrounding Divine Power like a black hole.

"Goodness gracious, absorbing Divine Power at such a rapid pace, this kid’s physique is truly terrifying!"

The Great Might Divine King was witnessing Fang Bai’s cultivation for the first time and was startled by the speed at which he absorbed Divine Power.

Other experts absorbed Divine Power into their bodies in trickles during cultivation, unlike Fang Bai who devoured it like a black hole consuming stars.

The Great Might Divine King thought that at this rate of absorbing Divine Power, Fang Bai’s strength’s progress would be rapid. Perhaps within ten years, he could advance another minor realm.

Maybe a hundred years later, he could reach the Divine King realm and become the youngest Divine King realm expert the Great Might Divine King had seen during his travels in the Divine Realm.

Thinking of such a prodigy not being able to become Dao companions with his granddaughter made the Great Might Divine King feel regretful.

So although he said he wouldn’t interfere, he still hoped in his heart to bring about a good match between his granddaughter and Fang Bai.

Previously, he thought the union between his granddaughter and Fang Bai would be a strong alliance.

Now he realized that if his granddaughter could become Dao companions with Fang Bai, the benefits she would gain from Fang Bai would far exceed what she would give.

Fang Bai and Rongrong cultivated separately, while the Great Might Divine King protected them to prevent disturbances from other experts.

Fortunately, the Blood Wolf Clan experts had scattered during the previous battle, fleeing everywhere, lacking the courage to return to their lair soon.

Therefore, in the following days, the area remained fairly quiet. Occasionally, experts from other clans would pass by but would be forcefully driven away by the Great Might Divine King.

After over ten days, Fang Bai and Rongrong emerged from their cultivation state and left the Blood Wolf Clan’s underground treasure vault.

The Great Might Divine King carefully examined Fang Bai, and as expected, Fang Bai’s strength had improved during these past days.

Though this seemingly insignificant progress was something most experts in the Divine Realm could not achieve within decades.

Rongrong had also progressed somewhat, but compared to Fang Bai, she lagged far behind.

"We’re leaving, what about the cultivation resources?"

Hearing that Fang Bai intended to leave, the Great Might Divine King asked.

Though he too wanted to leave, he felt reluctant at the thought of abandoning the vast amount of cultivation resources here.

Fang Bai said, "We’ll take the best ones and leave the rest here for now. Don’t forget, I’m an Array Master; I can set up a formation to seal this underground treasure vault. We can come and retrieve the resources whenever we want."

The Great Might Divine King thought for a moment and said, "That works."

So the three of them returned to the underground treasure vault, loaded the best cultivation resources into their respective Five Elements Space Rings.

Then, Fang Bai set a sealing formation at the entrance of the underground treasure vault, ensuring that unless an Array Master more skilled than him came, no one could break his sealing formation to take the resources.

"Where are we going now?"

After everything was taken care of, Fang Bai asked the Great Might Divine King.

The Great Might Divine King replied, "Of course, we’re going to find an Alchemist to help me refine the Creation Pill, then blend your Chaos Blood into the pill to extend my lifespan."

Fang Bai sighed, "Finding such an Alchemist is not easy. Even if we manage to find one, whether they’re willing to refine the Creation Pill for you is still uncertain."

The Great Might Divine King glared, "Can’t you say something nice? Can’t you wish me a smooth journey in obtaining the Creation Pill?"

Fang Bai said, "You could teach me wholeheartedly. When I advance to the Divine King realm, I too can help you refine the Creation Pill."

He had already told the Great Might Divine King and his granddaughter about his identity as a Pill Master to give them a bit of hope.

However, the Great Might Divine King felt that his lifespan couldn’t last until Fang Bai advanced to the Divine King realm, hence after helping Fang Bai advance to the Divine Venerable realm, he lost interest in teaching him any divine method secret techniques.

The Great Might Divine King now only hoped to quickly find an Alchemist capable of refining a Divine King realm Creation Pill, then offer a sufficient price to have them help refine the pill and blend in Fang Bai’s Chaos Blood.

He knew achieving this goal would not be easy, but as long as there was a glimmer of hope, he wouldn’t give up.

"By the time you advance to the Divine King realm, I’m afraid I would have perished for many years already... I can’t wait!"

The Great Might Divine King sighed.

He and Fang Bai had agreed that he would help Fang Bai advance to the Divine Venerable realm, while Fang Bai would stay by his side until the Creation Pill needed by him was successfully refined.

If it weren’t for this agreement, Fang Bai might have already found a way to separate from the grandfather-granddaughter duo.

Having become friends with them, having fought alongside them, Fang Bai couldn’t bear to leave before the Great Might Divine King’s lifespan could be extended.

Thus, the three of them left the Illusory Heaven Star and set out once again on their quest for a Divine King realm Alchemist in the starry sky.
