Chapter 1634 A Simple Nudge

chapter 1634 a simple nudge

grey studied the properties of the flower while the others focused on breaking through. this was a good opportunity for them, so it would be a waste to not take it. unlike grey's situation when he broke through without him making too much effort, in the case of klaus and the others, they could sense that they were close to breaking through after eating the squid, so they took advantage of the chance. ....

a few hours went by and the trio finally completed their breakthrough. klaus was the last to breakthrough since he was the one with a higher cultivation stage. when he returned, reynolds gave him a mocking smile and said, "we've been done for about an hour now, looks like your talent is lacking, you should work more." "according to your logic, doesn't that mean grey has the worst talent among us? i mean, he sort of spent an entire day just breaking through to the third stage, something i did within a few hours." klaus's response stumped reynolds as he couldn't reply to it. it was one thing saying he was more talented than klaus, but grey, he didn't even dare to think about it, none of them dared to say they were more talented than grey. this is someone who started cultivating three years after they started, yet he has not only caught up to them, but he has also surpassed them by a landslide. their cultivation stage might be close, but in terms of strength, grey was way ahead of them. at least, none of them present could confidently say they can defeat someone more than two stages ahead of them. even those two stages above them are very difficult to deal with, and it's all up to luck if they do manage to defeat them. grey on the other hand can achieve this with some effort, and it's something they are all certain of. alice laughed when she heard this, "i still don't know why you keep picking a fight with him when you know you clearly cannot win."

he brought out a few treasures that were given to him by the second prince and started to crush them, forcing the essence into the tree that was before him. he didn't expect such a tree to be a treasure. the tree didn't have any leaves, nor were there any fruits, rather, he could sense the treasure within the body of the tree. the tree covered the treasure in such a way that it was able to block most of the aura of the treasure. if not for this tree, more people would've sensed the presence of such a treasure by now. after grey was done, he didn't think too much and retreated, but he didn't go too far. he sat down cross-legged and waited patiently. ....

the next day, he walked up to the tree and did the same. while he was doing it, he saw a change in the tree but it stopped abruptly. even after putting more treasure he didn't see the same reaction. he couldn't help but sigh in disappointment. "if only the second prince gave me more treasures i wouldn't have to wait here for any longer." his words made the eyes of those waiting in the shadows light up. this was the chance they needed. none of them had thought of feeding the tree the essence of other treasures, so it's natural that after being given the nudge by grey, they wanted to try it out almost immediately. they've been here for a long period now just monitoring this tree. as long as they could get the treasure, then it was all worth it. when these people saw grey's clothing, they knew he was sent here by the second prince, but they didn't care about offending the second prince for this treasure. as long as grey didn't leave this place, they didn't have any fears. there's no way the second prince would know who did it. since this isn't being handled by the emperor's personnels meant that the second prince kept this from the emperor. the emperor would be infuriated by the second prince's actions if he finds out. 'the second prince can't expose me, and as long as i'm strong enough, the emperor will not want to lose such an expert. hehe, the little prince just blasted himself on the foot.' this was the thought of the other parties present. they knew how obsessive the emperor was about acquiring top treasures on such a scale, and they also knew how he wanted to build a large group of experts with him. if the second prince exposed this, there's a high chance the emperor will severely punish him. if he didn't, he can't threaten the person who takes it since he wouldn't have a clue who the person is. whoever the person is can just hide and then come out years later when he's strong enough to the point where the emperor wouldn't want to offend them due to their strength. as powerful as the emperor and those under him are, they wouldn't want to offend a half god expert, even when he has multiple half god experts himself.
