[Please recommend votes!!!]

”Hey kid, come help me search. The Divine Spring Pit must be here, even if we have to dig three feet into the ground, we need to find it!” Little Zhu Yan said while vigorously digging the pit, glancing at Ye Tianchen.

”You take your time searching, I’m taking a nap!” Ye Tianchen replied, yawning while lying on the big rock.

”Damn, you’re not really a brother...” Little Zhu Yan cursed harshly, then each of them continued persistently digging and searching!

Ye Tianchen lay on the big rock, perhaps truly tired, or perhaps sleepy, rarely relaxed, and gradually fell asleep. In his drowsiness, he dreamt he arrived in a vast desert where there was nothing but sand. In this desert, only one Zhu Yan was searching for something, and this inexplicably puzzled Ye Tianchen, was he awake or still dreaming!

”Hey, loser, haven’t found anything yet?” Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but shout in the dream.

However, loser Little Zhu Yan seemed unable to hear Ye Tianchen at all, continuously digging the pit, emptying the whole desert without finding anything. Little Zhu Yan felt a bit disappointed, waiting and searching for so long yet gaining nothing. Could it be that he really had no such opportunity?

Ye Tianchen slowly approached, intending to help the loser search, but at this moment, he noticed something seemed wrong with loser Little Zhu Yan. Always facing away and shivering, Ye Tianchen startled. When he walked over and patted loser Little Zhu Yan on the shoulder, Little Zhu Yan turned back, startling Ye Tianchen. He was genuinely a bit frightened because Little Zhu Yan’s face was invisible, completely covered in sand, as if his body was going to slowly transform into sand!

”Loser, loser, what’s wrong? Loser!” Ye Tianchen shouted loudly, but the loser Zhu Yan seemed completely unable to hear, continuing to frantically devour the sand on the ground, slowly transforming into a sand sculpture, dying like this!

”Your friend is already dead, now it’s your turn!”

Suddenly, Ye Tianchen heard this voice echoing in his mind, startling him. He looked around immediately but found nothing, yet instinctively asked, ”Who?”

”No need to ask, you will die!”

”Die? I’m afraid I can’t...”

Boom!

Whether reality or dream, Ye Tianchen was furious. He struck the desert with a palm, causing a cloud of sand to rise. However, this sand seemed to have life and consciousness, sweeping towards Ye Tianchen. With nowhere to escape, the sand enveloped him, covering Ye Tianchen entirely. The sand infiltrated his clothes, flesh, and organs, unstoppable, too strange and powerful!

”No one can stop this, you must die!”

”No, I aim to stand at the Martial Arts Peak, I can’t die!”

With a loud roar, Ye Tianchen’s whole body erupted with energy, his Martial Arts True Qi instantly filled his flesh, spreading to every corner of his body. Then followed a loud explosion, unsure whether he repelled the sand or was crushed by it!

”I...”

Ye Tianchen suddenly sat up from the rock, looked around, and was stunned, drenched in cold sweat, unsure what had happened. Why was the dream so intense? At this moment, Ye Tianchen noticed loser Zhu Yan was facing away, motionless, could the dream really come true?

”Loser, loser...” Ye Tianchen shouted loudly at Little Zhu Yan but received no response.

Instinctively, Ye Tianchen shivered, could it truly be like what happened in the dream, the loser had unknowingly fallen under some curse, about to turn into sand and dissolve into this desert?

Ye Tianchen abruptly stood up from the rock and ran towards loser Little Zhu Yan, despite the jokes and teases, still best brothers, going through hardships together. He couldn’t just watch loser Zhu Yan lose his life!

”Hey, are you going to die, you scoundrel?” Ye Tianchen slapped the shoulder of the scoundrel Little Zhu Yan and said.

Little Zhu Yan turned his head and looked at Ye Tianchen. Ye Tianchen stared closely at the face of the scoundrel Little Zhu Yan. Could it really be the scene from the dream?

”Damn, you brat, get away from me. Aren’t we brothers? Stop shouting and making a fuss. If you won’t help me find the Divine Spring Pit, that’s fine, but don’t waste my time. Sorry, I’m busy!” Little Zhu Yan turned to look at Ye Tianchen, speaking angrily.

Ye Tianchen was taken aback and involuntarily breathed a sigh of relief. The dream earlier was truly strange. And just as he fell asleep, he had such a dream. It really was unexpected. Is there something odd about this desert, or was it just a dream and he was overthinking?

”Scoundrel, I was worried about you. Never mind, I worried for nothing. You’re fine, keep searching. I’ll go back to sleep!” Seeing that scoundrel Little Zhu Yan was okay, Ye Tianchen thought maybe he was just overthinking it. It’s just a dream, nothing that could become a reality, too sensitive!

After speaking, Ye Tianchen didn’t think much and decided to continue walking towards the rock to rest. Helping this scoundrel dig three feet into the desert to find the Divine Spring Pit was impossible; he’d rather continue to sleep.

Unexpectedly, just as Ye Tianchen turned, the scoundrel Little Zhu Yan grabbed Ye Tianchen’s ankle. Ye Tianchen was shocked. Upon looking at this scoundrel again, he was stunned because the scoundrel’s entire body had turned into sand, like a sand sculpture, leaving only the arm unfazed and transforming bit by bit. Ye Tianchen’s heart skipped a beat; was that dream real? This was too bizarre!

Ye Tianchen didn’t hesitate or delay, quickly gathered a surge of Martial Arts True Qi, and injected it into the body of the scoundrel Little Zhu Yan. However, it was to no avail. Little Zhu Yan’s body continued turning into sand and rapidly deteriorated. In moments, he’d completely become a sand sculpture and die utterly!

”What do I do? What do I do?” Ye Tianchen kept talking to the scoundrel, but unfortunately, the scoundrel didn’t hear anything and couldn’t respond. Ye Tianchen didn’t know what the scoundrel had encountered while digging into this desert and wondered how to save him.

”Scoundrel...” Ye Tianchen shouted anxiously.

At that moment, the scoundrel Little Zhu Yan’s arm moved, and the remaining hand gestured towards a distant rock that Ye Tianchen had slept on. Ye Tianchen paused, seemingly understanding something, but not fully, and couldn’t hesitate. He shot a punch there!

Bang!

The rock shattered in response, and a figure burst out from it. This figure was the size of a bowl, filled with sand, and the stone bowl was full of sand.

”Cough cough... Damn, a little slower, and I’d be dead. Quickly, grab that stone bowl, it is the Divine Spring Pit...” Little Zhu Yan recovered and immediately told Ye Tianchen.

Swish!

The stone bowl seemed truly spiritual, had gained spiritual wisdom, and quickly fled towards the desert’s exit. This time, Ye Tianchen didn’t delay, immediately mobilizing a surge of Chaos Qi from the ”Holy Heaven Prison,” enveloping the stone bowl. No matter how it struggled, it couldn’t escape the Chaos Qi’s wrapping and was caught by Ye Tianchen.

”Ah... let me go, let me go, you despicable people, let me go...” The stone bowl shouted, sounding like a child’s voice.

”Has it really become sentient? Developed spiritual wisdom? It’s too miraculous, just a stone!” Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but say.

Suppressing the stone bowl with Chaos Qi, Ye Tianchen examined it carefully. The stone bowl didn’t seem unusual, merely a stone with a hole, and inside the hole, apart from golden sand, was nothing else. The only remarkable thing was that this stone could speak.

”Pah, you creatures dare to disrespect me, Stone King. It’s suicidal. I’m the strongest stone in the Martial Arts World, not just a simple Divine Spring Stone. Open your dog eyes wide, don’t provoke me. Let me go now; it’s not too late!” The Divine Spring Pit arrogantly shouted and cursed at Ye Tianchen and Little Zhu Yan.

Ye Tianchen was truly surprised. He imagined the Divine Spring Pit would be a pit, yet it was a stone, only palm-sized, merely a stone bowl claiming to be ”Stone King,” really hard to believe!

Bang!

Before Ye Tianchen could react, the scoundrel Little Zhu Yan punched the stone bowl and then, in a very impressive manner, said: ”Damn, you stone scoundrel, you don’t remember me? I came, yet you dared not welcome me, do you want to die?” (To be continued. If you like this work, please visit Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendation and monthly tickets.
