Chapter 2183: Inside the Primordial Realm(3) As the second-level God Ascension cultivator pondered, his gaze fell upon Yuan and Mu Xuelian. Although Yuan was only a True Immortal, his appearance and abundant spiritual energy implied that he came from a powerful family. However, what truly surprised him was Mu Xuelian’s existence. There were many God Ascension realm cultivators within the Primordial Realm, but those who had as much spiritual energy as Mu Xuelian were incredibly rare, including those with a much higher cultivation than hers. ’Besides that white-haired woman, I can defeat the others, but it’ll exhaust too much energy. Since there are only a few of us, there’s no need to risk it.’ The second-level God Ascension cultivator didn’t acknowledge it openly, but he decided not to chase the others away. Minutes later, the massed lightning within the clouds erupted, unleashing a single devastating bolt that descended like a heavenly judgment. The bolt was so intense it ripped through the very fabric of space, leaving behind a rift that seethed with turbulent spiritual energy. Seeing this, the cultivators immediately began absorbing the spiritual energy, replenishing what little reserve they had left. Yuan and Mu Xuelian watched with intrigue, as they’d never seen anything like this before. ’So this is why that cultivator wanted everyone else to leave...’ Yuan thought to himself, finally understanding the situation. However, he still had questions, such as where the spiritual energy was coming from. ’Why aren’t those two cultivating and just watching? Are they mocking us?’ The cultivators wondered when they realized Yuan and Mu Xuelian were idling not far away. ’They might attack us while we’re cultivating...’ Worried that Yuan and Mu Xuelian might attack out of nowhere, the cultivators remained vigilant. A few minutes later, Yuan suddenly spoke, startling the others. "Hey, I have a question. Do you know where I can find the Asura Clan?" "?!?!" The cultivators snapped their heads toward Yuan, their faces frozen in disbelief. Yet after a brief silence, they quickly averted their gazes, acting as though they had never heard his words at all. Seeing this, Yuan started to absorb the spiritual energy from the rift at a terrifying rate, shocking the cultivators. ’What the hell is that insane absorption rate?! At this rate, he’ll absorb all of the spiritual energy in minutes!’ they cried inwardly. "If nobody answers, I will continue to absorb the spiritual energy," Yuan said. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺 "I will answer—!" one of the True Immortals hastily said. However, before he could answer Yuan’s question, a powerful presence emerged nearby, swiftly closing in on their location. Even before the figure came into view, an aggressive voice thundered through the air, "If anyone still dares to absorb that spiritual energy after this warning, I’ll skin you alive when I get there in a minute." "This presence... It’s a fifth-level God Ascension cultivator!" Everyone there subconsciously halted absorbing the spiritual energy, and the True Immortals even prepared to flee, as this fifth-level God Ascension cultivator seemed to have plenty of spiritual energy just by how he was willing to use voice transmission. "Before you leave, can you answer my question?" Yuan said, snapping them out of their daze. "S-Screw you! If I cannot acquire any more spiritual energy, what’s the point of answering you and offending the Asura Clan?!" Then, the True Immortal turned around and flew away. The other True Immortal also left silently. As for the God Ascension cultivators, they exchanged glances before turning to look at Mu Xuelian and said, "If the three of us worked together, we might be able to deal with this bastard." Mu Xuelian raised an eyebrow and asked, "Why should I work with you? This is your problem, not mine." The second-level God Ascension cultivator frowned and responded, "Why the hell are you here if not for the spiritual energy?" "We were just passing by when this phenomenon happened. I don’t need the spiritual energy, anyway," she calmly responded. "You don’t need the spiritual energy...?" Not just the second-level God Ascension cultivator, but even the other guy trembled in anger after hearing her words. In the Primordial Realm, nearly every cultivator was starved for spiritual energy. For someone to claim they had no need of it was like boasting of never needing food because they are always full and have never starved before, while standing before the homeless, gaunt with hunger. The God Ascension cultivators wanted to tear Mu Xuelian apart after hearing her words, but they controlled themselves, as they would gain nothing from it, not to mention the incoming threat. "Hmph! If you want the spiritual energy, you can fight for it!" Without hesitation, the second-level God Ascension cultivator began absorbing the spiritual energy again. Seeing this, the other cultivator also followed. "Courting death!" The fifth-level God Ascension cultivator arrived at the scene a few minutes later. Upon his arrival, he immediately unleashed a powerful martial technique at the two who ignored his warning. "This crazy bastard!" The two cultivators hastily stopped their cultivation to block the incoming attack. "Fuck! My spiritual energy!" While they were able to block the attack properly, it had consumed more spiritual energy than what they had absorbed from the rift. "Hahaha! This is what you fools get for defying my warning! Now, die for your sins!" The fifth-level God Ascension cultivator laughed madly as he continued his assault on the other two. "Damn it! I’m not going to waste my spiritual energy on a madman! It’s not worth it!" The second-level God Ascension cultivator did not hesitate to run away. Seeing this, the first-level God Ascension cultivator also fled. "..." The fifth-level God Ascension cultivator didn’t chase after them. He turned to look at Yuan and Mu Xuelian for a brief moment before ignoring them to absorb the spiritual energy from the rift. However, Yuan also started absorbing the spiritual energy the very next moment. "What the fuck do you think you’re doing, you little brat?!" Yuan responded with a calm smile, "If you tell me where I can find the Asura Clan, I’ll let you have all of the spiritual energy here. If not, I don’t mind fighting to the death."
