At the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land’s most difficult time, such a peerless genius like this appearing was absolutely something that boosted people’s morale.
Tu You’s eyes glinted. It was also unknown what he was thinking about.
Winning against Zhang Tianyi, there were many people being happy. But Ye Yuan did not care at all.
To him, this kind of victory was utterly meaningless.
If not for the sake of entering the Crimson Afterglow Valley, he would not even be bothered to take part in this sort of lame selection competition.
Late at night, Ye Yuan was the same as usual; he was still comprehending the golden characters.
Through these few day’s comprehension, Ye Yuan’s divine soul was still strengthening unceasingly. These dozen over days, Ye Yuan’s divine soul strengthened a full 40%!
This sort of augmentation could already be classified as terrifying.
Ye Yuan did not know whether or not he could reach the Alchemy Ancestor level under the circumstances where he did not transcend the soul tribulation if he continued to comprehend like this.
All of a sudden, Ye Yuan’s mind stirred, and he came out from the Vast Heaven Pagoda and showed himself.
Ye Yuan laid down an array formation at the residence. Just earlier, the array formation was triggered by someone.
Ye Yuan sensed something and immediately showed himself.
Chapter 802. Desolate Ancient Drip Essence Pool |
“One who comes is a guest. Show yourself,” Ye Yuan said coolly.
“Huhu, what an impressive boy, to actually be able to detect this Emperor’s arrival!” An aged and hoary voice sounded out.
Ye Yuan was startled inwardly when he heard that. In the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land, the only one able to proclaim himself as this Emperor was the Crimson Afterglow Holy Lord!
Did not expect that the Crimson Afterglow Holy Lord actually descended here.
Ye Yuan sensed that the arrival’s strength was extraordinary through the array formation previously, but did not think that it was actually the Crimson Afterglow Holy Lord.
All of a sudden, there was an undulation in the space within the house. The Crimson Afterglow Holy Lord actually directly appeared inside the house.
But regarding this sort of means, Ye Yuan did not have much surprises.
Those Dao Profound Realm experts could already sense the Heavenly Dao. This bit of means was nothing strange.
“Turns out it’s the Holy Lord. Ye Yuan failed to receive you,” Ye Yuan gave a slight bow and said neither obsequiously nor haughtily.
Tu You waved his hand and said, “No need to be overly courteous. This Tu came uninvited. You wouldn’t mind, right?”
Ye Yuan criticized inwardly for a bit. You already said it like this, can I say that I mind? But in truth, your esteemed self interrupted my closed-seclusion. I really mind a lot!
But Tu You saying this sort of words was already dropping his own attitude very low. If Ye Yuan still did not give face, that was not knowing how to appreciate favors.
Ye Yuan could tell that this Holy Lord in front of him was not his real body. But his strength was sufficient to instantly kill Ye Yuan.
“I wonder what Holy Lord is finding Ye Yuan for?” Ye Yuan did not follow up on the words. It was also considered to have expressed his attitude.
Tu You sized up Ye Yuan, but he was even more pleased with Ye Yuan in his heart.
Such temperament was someone who did great deeds.
Not like some people cracking themselves up to be geniuses, but were short-tempered and brash, unable to take on major duties.
“Ye Yuan, do you know what is inside that Crimson Afterglow Valley?” Tu You ignored what was asked.
Ye Yuan’s eyes flickered, secretly cursing sly old fox.
One had to first give in order to take. This sort of logic, how could Ye Yuan not understand?
Tu You did not do anything the moment he came and just whetted up his appetite. Clearly, there was nothing good.
But speaking of which, he succeeded.
Tu You’s one sentence made Ye Yuan’s heart squirm itchily.
He was indeed very curious just what thing was inside this Crimson Afterglow Valley, to actually be able to give birth to a Ten Great Divine Kings class expert.
Seeing Ye Yuan’s struggling look, a hint of a smug smile flashed past the corners of Tu You’s mouth.
Ye Yuan mused for a moment, and then he opened his mouth and said, “Holy Lord best talk about your intentions for coming first. If the matter is too difficult, Ye Yuan would rather not enter the Crimson Afterglow Valley.”
Tu You’s expression froze. He did not expect that Ye Yuan would actually speak such words.
“Facing such temptation and you’re actually able to control your own desires. You, this youth, are indeed not simple! Fine then, actually, there isn’t anything hard to say out either. Actually, I came to find you, is to wish to entrust the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land to you!”
A few words, Tu You already discovered that Ye Yuan’s conduct was too slick and sly, impervious to everything. Talking with him, it was better to beat around the bush less.
Beat around the bush too much, it would incur the other party’s aversion.
It was just that Tu You’s words frightened Ye Yuan.
He was just a Divine Traversing Realm martial artist and Tu You actually wanted to entrust a holy land to him!
What did that have to do with this?!
Ye Yuan said with a bitter smile, “Holy Lord, you’re joking with me, right? I …”
Tu You stopped Ye Yuan’s words with a hand gesture, but said, “This Emperor is naturally not joking with you! You don’t have to be in a hurry to reject. Listen to this Emperor’s terms first before giving a reply again. As long as you promise to take over the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land, all of the resources in the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land will be up to you to allocate! Furthermore, within three years after entering the Crimson Afterglow Valley this time, this Emperor will personally take action to send you into the Crimson Afterglow Valley once more!”
Ye Yuan knew that the Crimson Afterglow Valley could only open once every 300 years. If he forcefully sent him into the Crimson Afterglow Valley, Tu You would probably pay an unimaginable price.
In order to make him agree to become the next Holy Lord, this Tu You was also going plenty all out.
“Just what is inside the Crimson Afterglow Valley?” Ye Yuan still could not refrain from asking.
“Desolate Ancient Drip Essence Pool!” Tu You did not keep him in suspense this time and answered immediately.
“Desolate Ancient Drip Essence Pool … What is that?”
Ye Yuan was also considered to be experienced and knowledgeable. But this Desolate Ancient Drip Essence Pool, he really had not heard before.
“Wait until you go in, you’ll know! The liquid in this Desolate Ancient Drip Essence Pool can cleanse the marrow and let the martial artist cast off their old self and undergo a complete transformation. The longer a martial artist stay inside, the greater the harvest, and the greater the future accomplishments as well! I know that your physical body is powerful. This Desolate Ancient Drip Essence Pool can temper your physical body to be even stronger! Furthermore, inside this Desolate Ancient Drip Essence Pool contains extremely titanic amounts of essence energy. As long as you have the ability, it can let you directly breakthrough to Dao Profound Realm!” Tu You said.
“Oh? It actually has such a miraculous effect?” Ye Yuan said curiously.
He was turning it over in his mind secretly that this Desolate Ancient Drip Essence Pool’s effects seemed to have some similar aspects with true dragon’s blood.
Except, it sounded like this Desolate Ancient Drip Essence Pool seemed to be more impressive.
After Ye Yuan refined the dragon blood, he obtained tremendous benefits too. The present Ye Yuan could forcefully receive a profound artifact bare-handedly just with his physical body; simply a
human-form lethal weapon.
Ye Yuan had reached the important juncture of breaking through to the Boundless Realm at present. This Desolate Ancient Drip Essence Pool seemed to be an excellent breakthrough site.
Tu You nodded and said, “It will only be stronger than you imagine! But this pool water is extremely tyrannical. Ordinary people can’t walk far at all. Therefore, the benefits obtained are limited too. This Emperor only walked 80 feet out back then too.”
“Oh? What’s there to pay attention to?” Ye Yuan asked curiously.
“In this Desolate Ancient Drip Essence Pool, every 70 feet is a threshold. The deepest area is a full 490 feet far out. Since the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land was established, only the first generation Holy Lord walked to the deepest part. And his accomplishments was also the highest in history, with strength comparable to the Ten Great Divine Kings! But a genius like him, only a single one appeared in the history of the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land. Back then, the people who entered the Crimson Afterglow Valley together with this Emperor, only I walked to 80 feet out, which is also within the second threshold’s scope. Therefore, I became the Holy Lord!” Tu You explained.
When Ye Yuan heard, he developed a thick interest in this Desolate Ancient Drip Essence Pool.
Seemed like this pool was indeed rather different.
Ye Yuan mused for a moment and said to Tu You, “Ye Yuan thank Holy Lord’s great kindness. It’s just that taking over the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land, it’s completely out of the question for Ye Yuan. Ye Yuan has something hard to disclose and definitely has to leave the Crimson Afterglow in the future.”
Tu You said solemnly, “No worries! I know that a measly little Crimson Afterglow definitely can’t keep a genius like you. But I already don’t have much time left. If I can’t find someone able to take on the huge responsibility, the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land is bound to be swallowed up by the other holy lands. This sort of conclusion is what this Emperor doesn’t wish to see. This Emperor finding you is to hope to preserve a hint of incense fire 1 from extinguishing. In the future, when you find a good man, passing the position of Holy Lord to him is good too. Before this, I’ll make Chen Qin they all do everything in their power to groom you and let you achieve the Dao Profound Realm as soon as possible! This Tu is already someone about to die. I don’t have other requests and only hope that the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land can carry on existing. Ye Yuan, please accept a bow from me!”
As he said those words, Tu You actually gave Ye Yuan a deep bow!
Chapter 803. Camouflage |
At a lake with a calm surface, in a tranquil mountain valley.
A party of seven to eight people appeared in this remote mountain valley.
“First Elder, could it be that this place is the Crimson Afterglow Valley? Looks like it doesn’t seem to be any different from an ordinary mountain valley.”
“Humph! If even you can detect the differences, the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land would have long been exterminated by people,” First Elder said with a cold snort.
“Hehe, makes sense!”
The one who said this was called Yang Xiao; one of the seven holy sons.
This Yang Xiao had a cheeky appearance all day long; he was rather like a big kid who liked to play. But to be able to become one of the seven holy sons, his strength naturally could not be underestimated.
After Ye Yuan defeated Zhang Tianyi, the dust settled for the Quasi-Holy Son selection competition too.
Ye Yuan obtained the first place with the battle result of a flawless victory, obtaining the qualification to enter the Crimson Afterglow Valley without any qualms.
Zhang Tianyi won 59 and lost one, obtaining the qualification with the battle result of second place.
And finally, Han Feng utterly trounced Wu Jianton, catching the last bus as well.
On the seven holy sons’ side, they selected three people to enter the Crimson Afterglow Valley in the end as well. They were respectively Nalan Hong, Yang Xiao, and Pei Wenqiang’s elder brother, Pei Kun.
Presumably, these people’s strength could stand out among the seven holy sons.
This early morning, First Elder brought the six people to this extremely out-of-the-way mountain valley.
This mountain valley was within the boundaries of the holy land, but it was exceptionally hard to find.
“First Elder, are we considered to have entered the Crimson Afterglow Valley here? Could it be that this lake in front of the legendary Desolate Ancient Drip Essence Pool?” Yang Xiao asked again.
As one of the seven holy sons, even though he had not come to the Crimson Afterglow Valley before, but what was inside this Crimson Afterglow Valley, he was perfectly aware.
First Elder shot him a glare and said crossly, “You moron! Is there any essence energy undulation in this lake? Why don’t you jump down and give it a try?”
Yang Xiao scratched his head and said perplexedly, “We didn’t enter the Crimson Afterglow Valley, and there isn’t any path to take here as well. What on earth should we do?”
First Elder was disinclined to bother with this idiot and simply turned his head over and just threw down a word, “Wait!”
Yang Xiao was baffled. Seeing First Elder ignore him, he actually turned his head over to Ye Yuan.
“Heh, Little Leaf 1 , I heard that you’re very incredible. Can you see through the little truth or deception of the situation?” Yang Xiao scooted over to Ye Yuan’s side and said.
Ye Yuan’s great name already spread throughout the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land long ago. It was naturally impossible for these holy sons like Yang Xiao they all to be utterly ignorant about Ye Yuan.
Even if these holy sons’ statuses in the holy land was extremely high, they were also struck with admiration regarding Ye Yuan’s degree of talent.
Not everyone among them might be comfortable in their hearts. But their attitudes toward Ye Yuan was absolute submission.
Along the way, Yang Xiao struck up a conversation with Ye Yuan from time to time too. Gradually, the two people became acquainted.
Towards Yang Xiao’s poser actions, Ye Yuan was naturally not averse either,
Such a person was more interesting than people who keep a straight face constantly.
Seeing Yang Xiao inquire, Ye Yuan said with a smile, “There should have been an extremely powerful camouflage set up here. If one did not reach the Dao Profound Realm strength, one would probably not see through the truth and deception at all. Furthermore, even for those in the Dao Profound Realm, wanting to crack this camouflage is probably beyond their power too.”
First Elder did not look over here, but his ears perked up high.
Hearing Ye Yuan’s words, First Elder was unbelievably shocked in his heart too. He did not know if Ye Yuan was guessing or could really see through the truth and deception.
But Yang Xiao was pretty on point this time and helped him ask, “Huh? You said that a Dao Profound Realm can’t see through the truth or false; then why can you, a Divine Traversing Realm, see through it?”
Ye Yuan said smilingly, “Naturally because I’m incredible.”
Yang Xiao pursed his mouth and said, “How boring! Forget it if you’re not telling!”
Ye Yuan smiled without speaking and did not follow up on this too. He could not very well tell Yang Xiao that he was a Tier 9 Array Emperor, right?
This place’s camouflage technique was extremely profound. With the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land’s present standard, they absolutely could not set it up.
Ye Yuan reckoned that this should be set up long ago by a previous generation Holy Lord. It was even possible that it was set up by the first generation Holy Lord.
Wanting to forcefully crack this camouflage technique, most likely it could not be done at all without having Eighth or Ninth Level Dao Profound strength.
Even if Tu You knew the way to crack it, wanting to send them into the Crimson Afterglow Valley, he likely had to pay a considerable price as well.
&
nbsp; From that day’s conversation, Ye Yuan could tell that Tu You’s condition was not very good.
If not for so, it was impossible for him to do this sort of entrusting thing.
Under the situation where his condition was very bad, he was even planning on cracking this camouflage technique a second time. It could be seen that his sincerity was indeed sufficient.
That day, Ye Yuan ultimately still did not promise Tu You. He only said he will consider it.
But at this time, Ye Yuan became somewhat moved.
Right then, the earth quaked, and the mountains swayed within the mountain valley. It was as if an earthquake occured.
The corners of First Elder’s mouth twitched, and his eyes actually became somewhat moist.
Holy Lord’s lifespan originally did not have much left. With this, it was adding one disaster after another.
Especially sending six people in this time all at once, the burden on Tu You was even greater.
When the thought reached here, Chen Qin was incredibly upset in his heart.
Rumble …
Under everyone’s astonished gazes, the lake in front of them actually parted into two, like it was forcefully cleaved into two halves by someone using a blade.
Between the two halves of the lake water, a gorgeous light emitted out.
“The few of you, go in from between this lake water! Remember, you all only have five day’s time. After five days, no matter how much you gained, you have to come out. Otherwise, you all can only come out again after 300 years.” Chen Qin warned.
Of course, Chen Qin knew that Tu You had the ability to forcefully crack this grand array. But that price expended was too great.
After Tu You cast the skill, he would die without a doubt!
This sort of method, Chen Qin naturally would not say out, and would not agree to Tu You casting the skill either.
