Unrivaled Medicine God, page 163
It was very clear that the golden characters forcefully snatched away the black bead from his hands just now.
Looking at it now, this black bead was more than just special; it was simply a heaven-defying object!
But when Ye Yuan checked his body over, he did not discover any sort of changes. He could not help heaving a sigh of relief but was also somewhat faintly disappointed.
If this bead were really some heaven-defying item, it would be good to bring some changes to his body!
Letting out a long sigh, Ye Yuan brought White Light and exited the room.
Different from the other people searching blindly, Ye Yuan had White Light's help. Everything he found was top tier treasures.
After two hours, apart from the Square Cauldron, Ye Yuan's spatial spirit artifact gained many more things: large quantities of spirit medicine, over 20 sets of spirit artifacts, magic artifacts, as well as large quantities of essence crystals!
All of a sudden, Ye Yuan felt like he became an overnight millionaire.
White Light brought him to an herb storehouse. Inside the herb storehouse were spirit medicines of every rank. Just the Tier 4 medicinal herbs were over a dozen.
But the most peculiar thing was that this second level actually had no danger whatsoever. Everybody returned to the gathering place perfectly all right, as if this second level was a place especially for people to seek treasures.
Ye Yuan casually summoned the things in the storage ring. Only two or three spirit artifact and some medicinal herbs that he had no use of.
When Wu Zhao saw the things Ye Yuan found, his face could not help showing an odd expression. "Martial Nephew Ye Yuan only found these?"
Ye Yuan sighed helplessly and said, "Yes. Luck wasn't very good. I didn't find anything good. The way I see it, there probably isn't anything good here. Otherwise, there wouldn't be no danger at all here."
Wu Zhao was actually very dejected too. The best thing he found was that 32 restrictions spirit artifact. He even showed off in front of Ye Yuan.
But this did not seem quite right no matter how one looked at it!
This mysterious sect was plainly very powerful. A 32 restrictions spirit artifact should not be the best, right?
Thinking up to here, Wu Zhao could not resist observing the Restrictions Compass secretly. But there was no reaction at all.
That also meant that Ye Yuan did not cheat. It was really quite abnormal.
He obviously did not know that the good stuff here were all lying inside Ye Yuan's spatial spirit artifact quietly!
Tallying up the final count, two 64 restrictions spirit artifacts and seven 32 restrictions spirit artifacts showed up.
As for 8 restrictions and 16 restrictions, there was naturally plenty.
Apart from this, the most that everyone found was still cultivation methods and martial techniques!
Of course, that was because Ye Yuan did not take fancy to them . . .
These were mostly Tier 3 or 4 cultivation methods and martial techniques. They were simply pretty useless to Ye Yuan.
The final thing was the issue of distribution. The Heavenly Sky Sect and Tranquil Cloud Sect two sects possessed the greatest right to speak!
After a round of intense discussion, the two 64 restrictions spirit artifact were split evenly by the two sects. As for the 32 restrictions spirit artifacts, four to the Heavenly Sky Sect, and three to the Tranquil Cloud Sect!
Additionally, the Heavenly Sky Sect compensate the Tranquil Cloud Sect four pieces of 16 restrictions spirit artifact. Among that included the Restrictions Compass.
This was fought for by Ye Yuan.
This Restrictions Compass was rather interesting. It seemed to be able to replicate inhibition array formations. This made Ye Yuan rather interested.
As for the other spirit artifacts, there were divided up by the other six great sects.
The Heavenly Sky Sect turned their noses up on these low-rank spirit artifacts, while the Tranquil Cloud Sect was also considered to have gained enormous benefits. They obviously would not haggle over this either.
Those cultivation methods and martial techniques, the Eight Great Sects followed the ratio discussed beforehand. The Tranquil Cloud Sect also got to pick several Tier 4 cultivation methods and martial techniques.
So far, the Tranquil Cloud Sect could be said to be the greatest winner this mystic realm trip!
They did not lose a single man, but obtained the most natural treasures and riches!
Looking at the Heavenly Sky Sect, on the other hand, the line-up sent out this time was the strongest, but presently, only a mere ten people were left.
Although the three elders were all here, after they were extorted a sum by Ye Yuan, their gains probably did not even match the Tranquil Cloud Sect.
Everything was distributed properly. A new problem appeared in front of everyone: where was the entrance to the third level?
There were still around 30 people left among the eight sects. But these people all said that they did not see the entrance to the third level after returning!
Now that things came to this, everyone each had their own judgment in their hearts. This Eternal Splendor Palace should be a sect possessing Tier 5 experts at its prime!
But the things found by the eight sects now were basically all Tier 4 and below Tier 4.
Then . . . where did the Tier 5 articles go?
This was the key point!
To the Southern Domain's Eight Great Sects, Tier 5 was absolutely an enormous temptation!
If they obtained a Tier 5 cultivation method, their sect's strength would surely have a qualitative leap!
One had to know that the Heavenly Sky Sect's strongest expert at present was only at the Third Level Soul Sea Realm.
"Martial Nephew Ye, I wonder if you have any way of entering the third level?" Wu Zhao was also at a loss as to what to do and could only ask Ye Yuan.
But Ye Yuan was also clueless at the moment and shook his head and said, "No idea. Or perhaps, there isn't a third level at all."
Wu Zhao said, "How is that possible? Tier 5 experts clearly existed in this Eternal Splendor Palace. And since we entered the mystic realm until now, all we saw were Tier 4 stuff. What about Tier 5 items then?"
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "What's surprising about that? The Eternal Splendor Palace had clearly suffered a severe blow. Or maybe the Tier 5 items were plundered away by their foes."
In truth, Ye Yuan was just saying. Even he himself did not believe it either.
The first level and second level items were preserved very completely. That at least showed that this great hall did not suffer heavy losses. Then, the third level definitely existed.
Except . . . where on earth was the entrance to the third level?
Evidently, all the rooms in the second level were searched through by everyone, and they did not find any obvious entrance.
Right at this moment, Ye Yuan's heart suddenly gave birth to a hint of ominous premonition, as if there was some danger currently approaching!
But when he surveyed his surroundings, he did not find anything dangerous.
Ye Yuan could not help recalling the contents of that jade slip fragment, could it be . . .
But just as Ye Yuan was pondering, rumbling sounds suddenly came from beneath his feet!
The entire Eternal Splendor Palace trembled at this very instant as if an earthquake was happening!
Many people lost their footing and fell to the ground.
"Ouch! What is it? What happened?"
"Such a violent earthquake, the mystic realm isn't collapsing, right?"
"Touchwood! You crow's beak! Saying anymore and Your Father will shred your mouth!"
For a moment, the eight sect's disciples fell into a disorderly mess.
Deep beneath the earth, a light flashed, and several silhouettes appeared.
These people's looks were very rugged. Their attire was vastly different from Ye Yuan's company!
"Hahaha! It's been several thousand years! Our Fierce Gale World finally descended upon the Endless World again!" A bushy-bearded burly fellow laughed wildly.
332 Fierce Gale World Survivors! |
"Fierce Gale World survivor, Lin Chao, pays respect to Your Excellency!"
After that bushy-bearded burly man burst into wild laughter, a person came forward to salute. It was precisely Lin Chao!
And how was the present Lin Chao some Crystal Formation Realm martial artist? He was shockingly already a Sea Transformation Realm expert!
Turned out that when he was traveling together with the Tranquil Cloud Sect, he had been concealing his strength all along. Even Ye Yuan surprisingly did not perceive it!
That bushy-bearded burly man shot Lin Chao a glance and said in a booming voice, "Was this Six Extreme Seals Grand Array broken by you?"
Lin Chao replied respectfully, "Yes! Us survivors have been lying low in this Endless World's Southern Domain for thousands of years and finally found the way to crack the formation and the location of the seal! Today, the fortune of cracking the formation is truly my Purple Mansion Sect disciples' several thousand years' long-cherished wish!"
The bushy-bearded burly man chortled with laughter and said, "Hahaha! Also considered that you guys have the heart! Back then, leaving you all in the Endless World was the divine stroke of the previous generation's Wind Emperor! To think that it finally bore fruit today! You're called Lin Chao, right? Good, I've remembered you. I'll report your contributions to the higher-ups!"
Lin Chao was overjoyed as he said, "Lin Chao dare not claim credit for himself! My Purple Mansion Sect all swallowed humiliation and shouldered heavy burdens to reside in the Southern Domain land just for today!"
The bushy-bearded burly man nodded and said, "Alright, you don't need to say anymore. I know well in my heart! Your strength is decent. It's just that such an appearance completely became this Endless World's wuss-like look!"
Lin Chao smiled and said, "Didn't our Fierce Gale World want to enter the Endless World in order to become like this?"
The bushy-bearded burly man was stunned, but then he laughed loudly and said, "Haha, what you said is correct! Oh, right, I'm called Lan Bao. These three are my clansman, Lan Hu, Lan Feng, Lan Yun."
Lin Chao clasped his hands and said with a salute, "I've seen the three lords!"
Lan Bao waved his hands and said, "No need to be so formal. Your strength is equal to theirs. Just address each other as brothers will do! This Six Extreme Seals Grand Array is unbelievably powerful. Although you broke the formation's base from this side, only Sea Transformation Realms can pass through right now. I've already informed the higher-ups. They will send people over very soon to continue cracking the grand array. Wanting to completely link the two worlds will probably still need half a year to a year's time! During this period, we have to guard this passageway well."
Lin Chao nodded and said, "What Big Brother Lan said is right! Actually, the Six Extreme Seals Grand Array is within a mystic realm in the Endless World's Southern Domain. I snuck inside the team exploring the mystic realm and came together this time."
As he spoke, Lin Chao briefly summarized the situation after entering the mystic realm to Lan Bao.
Lan Bao was completely indifferent when he heard it and said, "Turns out it's a bunch of Crystal Formation Realm little bastards. The few of us is enough! Brother Lin Chao, exterminate them together with the four of us brothers!"
Lin Chao said respectfully, "Yes!"
. . . . . .
After a long while, the rocking Eternal Splendor Palace finally quietened down. But it was already in a big mess.
The Eternal Splendor Palace had clearly been reinforced with array formations before. Although the swaying was extremely intense, it was not damaged at all.
"This . . . What on earth happened? Why did it shake so violently just now?" Wu Zhao's words were directed at Ye Yuan.
Ye Yuan shook his head, but suddenly thought of something and his expression involuntarily changed drastically!
His figure moved and came to a Purple Mansion Sect disciple's side. Grabbing his collar, he asked, "Quickly say! Where is Lin Chao?"
That Purple Mansion Sect disciple was first taken aback. Following that, he also had a sudden realization and said, "S-Senior Apprentice Brother Lin? Ah! Y-Yes, where is Senior Apprentice Brother Lin? When did Senior Apprentice Brother Lin disappear?"
Ye Yuan clenched his teeth and threw that Purple Mansion Sect disciple onto the ground.
He had been eyeing that disciple's eyes the entire time. If he lied, it definitely could not escape his eyes. That Purple Mansion Sect disciple also did not know when Lin Chao disappeared or what he went to do.
This was even stranger. The things that Lin Chao was going to do, even his fellow sect members were actually unaware!
No wonder the first time he laid eyes on Lin Chao, he had a very strange feeling. Seemed like this fellow had a problem from the start!
When Wu Zhao saw Ye Yuan lose his composure like so, he was also greatly startled. He came forward and asked, "Martial Nephew Ye, what happened? Who is this Lin Chao?"
With Wu Zhao's status, he obviously would not pay attention to a Crystal Formation Realm martial artist.
Lin Chao's disappearance made Ye Yuan's heart give rise to an intense uneasiness. He had a feeling that the earthquake earlier definitely had a link to Lin Chao!
What in the world did he do?
Ye Yuan briefly described Lin Chao's identity. In truth, he also did not know who on earth Lin Chao was.
Looking at it now, Lin Chao most likely had some undisclosable identity. And his goal of entering the mystic realm was different from his group of people!
When Wu Zhao heard Ye Yuan's words, he also could not figure it out and was somewhat uncertain.
"We'd better leave this place quickly. I keep feeling like something is about to happen." At this time, Wu Zhao clearly also sensed trouble.
Ye Yuan let out a sigh and said, "Already too late. I'm afraid that our exit is already blocked off!"
His words had yet to fade, only to see a flash of light. Five silhouettes appeared in front of everybody.
When the eight sects' disciples saw these five people, they all felt an intensely oppressive feeling. The visual shock that Lan Bao and his three brothers' wild form gave everyone was too strong!
When Wu Zhao saw Lan Bao, his eyes involuntarily became intent!
"Fifth Level Sea Transformation Realm!" Wu Zhao sucked in a cold breath.
A Fifth Level Sea Transformation Realm expert was simply not somebody that they could contend with!
One Lan Bao could take care of all of them!
But Ye Yuan's gaze stopped on Lin Chao's body and similarly felt a wave of inconceivability!
Turns out, presently, that the Eighth Level Crystal Formation Realm Lin Chao was actually already Third Level Sea Transformation Realm!
Lan Bao's group of five. One Fifth Level Sea Transformation Realm and four Third Level Sea Transformation Realm!
How were they going to fight?
Seeing such a line-up, everyone revealed despairing looks.
"Brother Lin Chao, are these people the Endless World people that explored the mystic realm together with you?" Lan Bao asked as if there was nobody else present.
Lin Chao nodded and said, "That's right! A hundred of us came on this trip. The majority of the Sea Transformation Realm elders have already been smitten down by the Heavenly Thunder Essence Locking Grand Array. Only these people are left."
Lan Bao said with a disdainful face, "A bunch of ant-like existences! Are the Endless World's people all this weak?"
Lin Chao smiled and said, "How can the Endless World's natives be our Fierce Gale World's match? Back then, if not for the Grand Yan True Sect sacrificing the entire sect's strength to seal the realm passageway, the Endless World would have been our Fierce Gale World's long ago. How could they have the opportunity to wander these several thousand years freely?"
Lan Bao guffawed when he heard that and said, "Hahaha! What Brother Lin said is right! But before long, the Endless World will be ours!"
At this time, a Purple Mansion Sect disciple asked weakly, "Lin . . . Are you Senior Apprentice Brother Lin? Y-You said something about Fierce Gale World just now? What is happening here?"
Lin Chao looked at him and said with a smile, "You probably don't know yet, right? Our Purple Mansion Sect's upper echelons are all Fierce Gale World survivors! Our mission for staying in the Endless World is to open up the two world's passageway to welcome the Wind Emperor's arrival! Junior Apprentice Brother Wang, you and I are fellow sect apprentices. If you pledge allegiance to my Fierce Gale World now, I can give you a way out."
333 Battling Lin Chao! |
Junior Apprentice Brother Wang clearly did not know what Fierce Gale World was. But even if he was any dumber, he also knew that Lin Chao was not an Endless World native currently!
Hearing Lin Chao's words, Junior Apprentice Brother Wang's face involuntarily became the color of dirt. For a moment, he did not know what he should do.
But at the moment, Lin Chao's gaze landed on Ye Yuan.
"Junior Apprentice Brother Ye, we meet again! This entire way, I'm really indebted to Junior Apprentice Brother Ye's care!" Lin Chao said with a smile.
Everything that was happening right now seriously far exceeded Ye Yuan's expectations.
Even if Ye Yuan calculated everything, it was also impossible to predict such a drastic change.
During this trip, the greatest adversary from start to finish was the Heavenly Sky Sect. Ye Yuan's focus would naturally be placed on Wu Zhao.
Ye Yuan obviously would not think that an Eighth Level Crystal Formation Realm could stir up such a large storm, let alone think that this mystic realm trip would actually involve the dispute between two worlds!
At this very moment, Ye Yuan finally understood what the contents of that jade slip fragment meant!
'Invasion' did not point to a powerful opponent in the Endless World, but the invasion of the Fierce Gale World!
