Chapter 2731 The Sacred Crystal

Violet casted her gaze upon Austin.

"I'll stay with you, master," she said.

The gnome, on the other hand, informed Austin, "I'll explore this place on my own."

After a short pause, Austin eventually nodded in agreement. He shifted his attention towards Sherman and awaited its response.

"All right," Sherman muttered after a few seconds of silence. "I will give you all the rest of it."

As it recognized what Austin desired, it threw the two big cloth bags at Austin.

Austin bent down and opened the bags. Reaching out his hands and fumbling inside, he obtained ten Purple Thunder Bombs and handed them over to the gnome. As the latter received the items, he immediately rushed towards the palaces.

The extent of the gnome's power could match a master at the Immortal King Realm. He was proficient at spatial power, and his spiritual sense was commendable. Even from a faraway distance, he could perceive danger, thereby avoiding unnecessary damage before it could happen.

As Austin watched the gnome speed towards the palaces, he curled his lip in complacency—he didn't have to worry about the gnome. He was strong enough to fend for himself.

Then, he turned his head and addressed Caroline, Ivy, and Sue, "Girls, you're coming with me."

As soon as Austin said so, these three attractive women immediately rushed into his side.

All three of them would go to hell and back even without Austin's request. After all, he was their husband. They all trusted him that he would keep them safe. For them, they would always be home in his presence.

Obviously, the divine silkworm and the little infinity beast would explore the palace with Austin. They jumped on his shoulders merrily.

Then, Austin once again opened the cloth bags and fished out the Purple Thunder Bombs. He handed them to Bray, Stacy, and Peacock Princess.

Austin valued his friendships, and he cared for them deeply. He always looked out for them and sought out what would be best for them. After all, they were still young, and their cultivation base was relatively lower.

Therefore, Austin didn't mind sharing the treasures with them.

After that, he transported all the evil creatures out of the Slave Tower. He asked his demonic avatar to pretend to be Devil Ancestor Thanos and let it go to protect the creatures of Immortal End World with the evil creatures.

"Brat, you're really a good leader.

But sometimes, you just worry too much.

Every cultivator has to go through their own setbacks and difficulties in life to enhance their power.

If you keep on wrapping them on cotton wool, they would eventually have to rely on you.

Think about it, did anyone protect you before the way you are protecting them now?"

The holy yellow tree shook its head in disapproval. It reminded Austin that he had to step back once in a while to allow his friends spread their own wings.

This remark actually flipped a switch within Austin.

He furrowed his brows in deep thought. 'The holy tree had a good point. I do worry too much.'

He felt like he had more responsibility to protect the people as he got even stronger.

Therefore, he became a tad bit overprotective towards anyone who needed his help.

"Ha-ha!

You're right. I'll just let them be!

Let's go!"

Austin slumped his shoulders and allowed himself to ease a bit. He let his worries

ling. Its bricks were old and crumbly and very pale red. It had a grey slate roof and one small chimney, and there were two little windows at the front.

But when they entered it, they were taken by great surprise. It turned out to be a huge palace.

The space array had fooled them.

"It's the sacred crystal!"

The supreme holy tree's eyes lit up in excitement.

Looking at the splendor before them, they felt like they were floating in the air. The floor was blanketed with colorful shining crystals, a rainbow sea solely made of rock, as if it were a photograph of flowing colors.

The geometric shards expanded in all directions. To Austin's surprise, these brilliant crystals contained dense immortal energy.

While the most of them stood there with their mouth agape, unable to contain their amazement, the supreme holy tree had already begun collecting the sacred crystals.

"Now!" Once he snapped out of his incredulity, Austin immediately started collecting as well.

He rolled up his sleeve and hurriedly took all that he could in one go.

Compared to any other vital energy crystals in the universe, Austin knew that these crystals' value was much higher.

It would be of great help for cultivators to break through.

Caroline, Ivy, Sue, Violet, the divine silkworm and the little infinity beast worked together. After a short while, they all managed to collect the divine vital energy crystals on the ground floor.

As for the eight holy trees, only the supreme holy tree was scrambling for the sacred crystals. The rest of them stood there watching.

The supreme holy tree was collecting for a different reason. It was after the monetary joy of collecting these crystals, not that it really needed the treasure. The more treasures it collected, the more satisfied it was.

"I don't understand why you're in such a hurry.

For the Taoist Ancestor, these crystals are useless and that's why they were used to pave the floor.

Look, there are several old big wooden boxes over there. They are also full of sacred crystals."

Sherman pointed at the nearby chests.

"Are you kidding me?" Austin's eyes widened in delight.

He and his companions were overjoyed. They immediately ran towards the boxes.
