Chapter 189 The Competition for Treasure
In the Holy Sect, Wu Hen was having a rather comfortable time.
No one who lacked vision had come to bother him lately, but there were quite a few who hadn't considered Cai Ting a person before, and now they were all coming over with polite gifts.
"These people are so genuine, when you hadn't even condensed your Holy Embryo, they treated you like cattle, and now they call you 'Seventh Young Master' as if there had been such a great friendship in the past." River Girl Qiaqia, having become impatient, was moving the gifts inside from the courtyard.
Seeing River Girl Qiaqia complain while accepting gifts, Wu Hen couldn't resist slapping her on a round place and said irritably, "What, still upset over your old flame? Why don't you summon his soul back, and let him have a play with the big advantage I took down?"
"Sicko!" River Girl Qiaqia was so angry her cheeks turned bright red, not expecting Wu Hen to tease her in broad daylight and in public.
River Girl Qiaqia hid back in the house, where she was responsible for breaking down these gifts into smaller parts and then exchanging them for Yuan You Fragments.
Wu Hen needed a lot of Yuan You to buy the things he needed, and in the past month, he had found that the gifts added up could actually be exchanged for a top-grade Yuan You...
He used the Yuan You to improve his taste.
If he could upgrade his sense of taste to third-level, Wu Hen hoped to advance to a Fourth Rank Physique within a year.
Including the Holy Golden Blood that his little junior sister talked about.
It's better to enhance his sense of taste than to rely on a massive pile of materials, as improving his taste meant raising his absorption rate, and sharpening the axe will not interfere with cutting firewood!
And not to mention, the Longevity Wine from the Longevity Sect was a great thing too; having a pot every day, Wu Hen could feel his sense of taste improving and the effects of the Spiritual Meat he consumed were noticeably heightened.
...
"Lord Wu Hen, there's news from Shen Wenhai's side; they've found a substance that won't be eroded by mold spores," Tu Shanlan said.
"Impressive, this means we have a chance at taking down the Death Omen Yuan You!" Wu Hen showed delight on his face.
The Death Omen Yuan You was surrounded by mold spores, and the mold body released by these spores was like a factory of the Insect Race constantly emitting biochemical gases, preventing anyone from approaching.
Nowadays, more and more powers know about the Death Omen Yuan You.
They were all eying it hungrily, wanting to get their hands on the Death Omen Yuan You guarded by Red Zhe!
Wu Hen was naturally determined to obtain it; it was a huge boost for Little Yi, as it could stimulate his Divine Skills, and he had to snatch it no matter what.
Not only were the Human Clan's lineages trying to figure out how to neutralize the breath of the mold spores, but other powerful forces in Red Port were also conducting various experiments. It was now a comparison of the wit of all Human Clan's lineages; whoever solved it first had the chance to get the Death Omen Yuan You.

The Nuwa lineage discovered the Death Omen Yuan You relatively early.
And then came the Poison Sub-humans.
The Poison Sub-humans spread the news, and the Totem Sacred Sect, Yinji Tomb, Hao Clan's Ark, True Martial Floating Land, Magic Cube Star, Exile Ship, Longevity Island, Tower People, Shepherd Ghost Clan, Half-humans, Horned Subhumans, and Demons...
Wu Hen hadn't expected the Death Omen Yuan You to be so tempting; almost every power of some renown in Red Port planned to compete for it, including his own Totem Sacred Sect. Cai Ni had alerted him, and another disciple of a great master would also go.
Cai Huang sat in the second seat of authority in the Red Port Saint Sect, the first being Master Jiao Zhu, whether Hua Chen exists or not is uncertain, but judging by the reverent attitude of Cai Huang with First-class Heavenly Brilliance power towards Master Jiao Zhu, one could roughly guess that Jiao Zhu must have mastered some very powerful Divine Power Law.
Jiao Zhu's eldest disciple, Jiao Liecheng.
Having been in this Holy Sect for a month, Wu Hen had indeed seen this senior brother once.
How to put it, he must be blind; otherwise, when I was standing there, staring straight ahead, he just kept walking towards me, as if anyone in the world who could see him should consciously make way for him.
Jiao Liecheng had long been prepared to go to Insect Island.
He was determined to acquire the Death Omen Yuan You!
...
Wu Hen left the Holy Sect and returned to the Nuwa God End.
Shen Wenhai was indeed a talent; he found a shortcut for Wu Hen.
There was no need to take a ferry to Insect Island anymore because this season, Insect Island had given birth to countless larvae. The larvae were like a vast army, guarding the surroundings of the Death Omen Yuan You.
To get close to the Death Omen Yuan You, one would have to cut through the mountain and sea of insects.
For most forces, this was a trial in itself, and how many could survive in the mountain and sea of insects, not to mention penetrate deep into Insect Island.
But within the Nuwa God End, there was a white wormhole.
The other end of this white wormhole was the lair of the insects on the isle!
If the alien insects could arrive within the Nuwa God End through a spatial tunnel corroded by the tyrant beetle eggs, why couldn't Wu Hen drill from the white wormhole of the Nuwa God End into the Red Zhe's nest??
Now, with a great commotion above Red Port, the stranded civilization of the Human Clan in Red Port had assembled one elite squad after another to break through the heavy encirclements and enter Insect Island. In the meantime, Wu Hen could steal the final fruits of victory while they were locked in fierce battle!
Of course, the people who gave Wu Hen this chance were those insanely vicious Poison Sub-humans.
The white wormhole could not be removed.
In any case, with the current level of both the Nuwa lineage and the whole Red Port, they were not capable of eliminating a white wormhole.
In Lun Mountain City, the white wormhole had persisted for a month already.
From time to time, alien insects would fly out of here, preying on the people of Lun Mountain City.
Fortunately, Lun Mountain City had directly designated this area as a warning mountain. After a month of fierce fighting, the people of Lun Mountain City had even become somewhat accustomed to the existence of this wormhole...
This white wormhole was no longer spreading. The probability of mature insects emerging was very low, mostly larvae, and gradually this became a perilous trial mountain for the human Spirit Awakeners.
Initially, Wu Hen was somewhat worried that Lun Mountain City would turn into an Insect Race hell.
But Wu Hen also knew that there was no point in staying there himself. As long as the threat of the mature insects was dealt with, and the larvae were left to the Spirit Awakeners of Lun Mountain City, humans would also grow rapidly through the continuous struggle with these mysterious alien insects!
Thus, Lun Mountain City also got its own famous ancient temple - Wormhole White Mountain, which would likely accompany the Nuwa God End forever.
Some powers of Otherworldly Dust were indeed bizarre and oppressive. The Nuwa God End had also been eroded in the past by disasters like lightning storms, outbreaks of living dead, beast mutations, and invasions of Outer Heaven Guests... But as long as one leaves this otherworldly region, or kills the root cause, it can be resolved.
But Wu Hen was seeing something like the white wormhole that permanently contaminates once it infects, for the first time.
This made Wu Hen begin to suspect that Red Zhe was actually a powerful other-species civilization superior to the Human Clan; otherwise, how could the entire Red Port be helpless against this white wormhole?
"Put on this specially made fighting clothes for you, and you can enter the white wormhole," Shen Wenhai said to Wu Hen.
"Are you sure you don't want us to follow you?" Tu Shanlan asked with some concern.
"I have fought against tyrant tiger armor. That thing can easily kill anyone among you, and even I have to avoid it. The difficulty of obtaining the Death Omen Yuan You is very high, and the mortality rate is extremely high as well. I do not recommend you go there; you would be better off collecting other safer Yuan You nectar," Wu Hen said seriously.
Wu Hen himself could not guarantee his own safety, how could he possibly let others go with him?
