“Senior Apprentice Brother, we’re new disciples here to receive cultivation abodes. This is my identity token.”
Shadowmoon Sect was established on a spiritual vein. The sect opened up many abodes on each sub-peak and laid down array formations, providing for disciples to cultivate.
The better the aptitude of the disciple, the better the cultivation abode they would get, and the faster the cultivation speed will naturally be as well.
Tianying Peak was where the spiritual vein was the thinnest among the nine sub-peaks. The spiritual energy was naturally also the thinnest.
That disciple took a look at the two people’s identity tokens, his brows involuntarily raising up, and he threw the tokens on the table with a thud as he said lazily, “You’re called Ceng You, right? Tianying Peak still has one last low-grade level two abode. This is the abode’s token, go on.”
Ceng You put away the token and said joyfully, “Thank you, Senior Apprentice Brother! Senior Apprentice Brother, then what about Ye Yuan?”
That disciple raised his eyelids and said with a fake smile, “Him? That was Tianying Peak’s last abode already. This junior apprentice brother will have to be inconvenienced and go to other stray peaks to open up an abode yourself.”
As he said, he took out an array flag and placed it in front of Ye Yuan with a smile and said, “This is the Spirit Gathering Formation’s array flag, you go to Firecloud Peak right now. As long as you find the eye of the spiritual vein there and open up an abode, then deploy the array flag, it will naturally be able to gather spiritual energy and become your own abode.”
Ceng You’s expression changed when he heard that and said, “How can it be so coincidental? Senior Apprentice Brother, I heard that opening up an abode is very dangerous. That place is all desolate mountain peaks, fierce beasts everywhere. Quite a few disciples have been buried there!”
That disciple’s gaze turned cold and he said, “Dangerous? Opening up an abode is dangerous? This main peak, nine sub-peaks, several hundred stray peaks, which one wasn’t opened up by Shadowmoon Sect disciples? Why is there an exception when it comes to him?”
Ceng You had just received Ye Yuan’s pointers and was endlessly grateful toward Ye Yuan. He could not bear to see Ye Yuan take the risk and could not refrain from saying, “Senior Apprentice Brother, why don’t you take a look again. Perhaps there are still vacant abodes on the stray peaks in this vicinity?”
The moment that disciple heard, he said in a great rage, “Insolence! Ask you to go where, that’s where you go, what’s with all the crap? I said don’t have means don’t have, could it be that … you want to replace me on duty?”
Ceng You was merely a newcomer, how could he dare to argue? He said with a guilty conscience, “D-Dare not! Senior Apprentice Brother, how about this, give my abode to Ye Yuan, I’ll go open up an abode!”
That disciple’s face fell and he was just about to fly off the handle but heard Ye Yuan pick up the array flag and say coolly, “Alright, don’t need to be long-winded anymore. This guy has clearly been bribed by people already, deliberately making me go to Firecloud Peak to open up an abode, then get killed by fierce beasts. You’re just looking for a rebuff by telling him these.”
Ceng You’s face changed, only then, coming to a realization.
That disciple’s expression similarly changed and he said in a cold voice, “Punk, you dare to talk to your senior brother like this?”
Ye Yuan gave him a glance scornfully and said coolly, “You already want to kill me, so could it be that I still have to speak to you politely? Moreover … who the hell do you think you are, to be fit to be called as my senior brother?”
That disciple assigning abodes was merely a Ninth Firmament Divine Lord, so Ye Yuan did not take him seriously yet.
That disciple’s expression turned cold and he said with a cold smile, “Very well, looks like it’s a very proud newcomer! Then I’ll let you take a look at whether I’m fit to be your senior brother or not!”
Within the radius of Shadowmoon Sect’s main peak and sub-peaks, it was forbidden for disciples to kill one another.
But with a valid reason, taking action against a disciple for a bit was no issue.
That disciple saw that Ye Yuan was merely Sixth Firmament Divine Lord and actually dared to be insolent in front of him. So he was also genuinely angered.
No wonder Senior Apprentice Brother Qian Ye wanted to teach this guy a lesson, looks like this punk was used to being condescending.
While talking, that disciple’s Ninth Firmament Divine Lord aura suddenly released. A slap smacked over toward Ye Yuan’s face as quick as lightning.
“Ye Yuan, be careful!”
Ceng You did not think that this guy would attack the moment he said so. It was already too late to want to stop it.
The other party was Ninth Firmament Divine Lord, his strength was more than a level stronger than him.
Slap!
An incomparably resounding slap transmitted over. That disciple was directly slapped flying out.
Chapter 1799. Obstructed Tillage Spiritual Eye |
“Is there a mistake? My eyesight isn’t failing, right? A Sixth Firmament Divine Lord smacked a Ninth Firmament Divine Lord flying with one slap?”
Even though there were only a few disciples in the hall, this scene still made them extremely shocked.
That disciple held his face, his teeth already knocked out. Looking at Ye Yuan, his eyes were full of fear.
Ye Yuan looked at him and said with an indifferent look, “Those people got you to do things, didn’t they tell you not to provoke me? You’re the disciple assigning abodes and have the authority to assign where disciples go. I originally didn’t plan on refusing either, yet, you were looking for a beating yourself. Then I can’t be blamed.”
Done talking, Ye Yuan took the array flag, turned around, and was about to leave.
“Wait a minute! Ye Yuan, I’ll go together with you!” Ceng You suddenly said.
He turned to that disciple and said, “That whatever dog-fart abode, I don’t want it anymore! You give me an array flag! I’ll go to Firecloud Peak too!”
Ye Yuan’s brows furrowed and said, “They are making me go to Firecloud Peak because that place is definitely very dangerous. You have no need to take the risk with me.”
But Ceng You had a calm look and said smilingly, “My strength is inferior to yours, but it’s more or less an assistance! Moreover, opening up an abode, I’ll just take it as a trial!”
The moment Ye Yuan heard, he understood in his heart.
Ceng You was a smart man too. He gave a pointer or two and he already found his original heart.
Cultivating was sailing against the current to begin with. If this Ceng You thought that he soared to the heavens in one bound after entering the Shadowmoon Sect, that would be wasting his talents.
Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, “Let’s go together then.”
Looking at the two people’s departing back view, that disciple had a venomous look on his face.
“Heh, the Firecloud Peak is a desolate land with countless rank four fierce beasts. There are even quite a few rank five existence. There are already no fewer than several dozen people among the disciples who wanted to open up an abode. I don’t believe that you guys can still return!”
…
On Firecloud Peak, it was indeed desolate and bleak, with traces of fierce beasts everywhere.
The powerful undulations coming from the surroundings made Ceng You’s complexion somewhat pale.
“Ye Yuan, this Firecloud Peak is truly riddled with perils. Those guys really want your life!”
Ceng You immediately understood those people’s intentions after arriving at Firecloud Peak.
He vaguely knew that Ye Yuan had conflicts with the three major factions, but he did not expect that those people were actually so vicious.
Ye Yuan smiled and said, “As long as the ordeals that others give me ca
n’t kill me, it will all make me stronger. This will become a nightmare for them.”
Ceng You’s expression turned austere. He discovered that he was too far apart from Ye Yuan in terms of heart realm.
Under Ye Yuan’s influence, Ceng You’s mind also gradually settled down.
“What should we do now?” Ceng You asked.
Ye Yuan thought about it and said, “Familiarize ourselves with the environment first. Let’s walk toward the place with the richest spiritual energy. Since it’s an undeveloped stray peak, then we naturally have to choose the best eye of the spiritual vein.”
Ceng You nodded and said, “The spiritual energy in the south-west direction seems to be rather thick. Let’s go over and take a look?”
Ye Yuan nodded his head and headed in the south-west direction together with Ceng You.
Along the way, the astonishment in Ceng You’s heart grew more and more.
The strength that Ye Yuan displayed made him dare not to look straight at him.
Those ordinary rank four fierce beasts could not take a single blow at all in front of him.
Even the late-stage rank four fierce beasts comparable to Eighth Firmament Divine Lords were also not enemies that could last one exchange with Ye Yuan.
Only those peak late-stage rank four fierce beasts could tussle with Ye Yuan for a while.
But in the end, they still could not escape the fate of being slaughtered.
After separating from Baili Qingyan, Ye Yuan tempered himself in the Shadowmoon Mountain Range. Presently, his realm already thoroughly consolidated, his strength improving further as well.
Ceng You originally thought that Ye Yuan being able to smack a Ninth Firmament Divine Lord flying with one slap more or less had some elements of luck involved.
Only now did he know that that Ninth Firmament Divine Lord was too weak!
That Ninth Firmament Divine Lord was completely too weak to stand up to competition compared to these peak late-stage rank four fierce beasts.
And these peak late-stage rank four fierce beasts were similarly finished off in one blow in front of Ye Yuan.
With one comparison, the level was immediately established.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration appeared in Ceng You’s mind. Recalling the scene of the entrance examination, his eyes revealed deep shock.
Everyone was mocking Ye Yuan, thinking that Ye Yuan only got first place by being stained with Baili Qingyan’s light.
Looking at it now, it was simply Baili Qingyan getting stained by Ye Yuan’s light!
Ceng You naturally knew Baili Qingyan’s prowess. But he believed that no matter how formidable Baili Qingyan was, it also would not be so effortless when facing peak late-stage rank four fierce beasts.
During these past few days, he personally saw Ye Yuan slay three peak late-stage rank four fierce beasts alone.
This kind of combat power already exceeded the scope of a Ninth Firmament Divine Lord!
It turned out that Ye Yuan was the number one person in the entrance examination this time!
And this glory was shamelessly usurped by the Immortal Abode Sect and Baili Qingyan.
But, why didn’t Ye Yuan contend?
Ceng You’s mind revolved like lightning, thinking of many things in an instant.
“Eh, the spiritual energy in front seems to be somewhat different,” Ye Yuan suddenly said.
Ceng You said in surprise, “Different?”
Ye Yuan nodded and said, “The spiritual energy here should be the thickest place in the entire Firecloud Peak already. But in that area, spiritual energy is extremely thin.”
Ceng You was startled and said, “Such a great distance, you can feel it?”
Ye Yuan smiled and said, “Let’s go over and take a look. There might be an unexpected find.”
The two people gradually approached. Sure enough, Ceng You discovered that the spiritual energy seemed to have disappeared all at once, suddenly becoming much thinner.
“What’s going on here? Logically speaking, this position should be the eye of the spiritual vein. Why is the spiritual energy so thin?” Ceng You said with a frown.
He did not notice that Ye Yuan’s gaze gradually became bright.
“Heh, don’t know if it’s the Cloudsword lineage or Soaring Flower lineage, they really gave us a big gift!” Ye Yuan said in surprise.
Ceng You felt puzzled and said, “A big gift? The spiritual energy here is so thin, why would it be a big gift?”
Ye Yuan smiled and said, “Have you heard before of Obstructed Tillage Spiritual Eye?”
Ceng You’s entire body trembled when he heard that and said in panic, “You … You’re talking about the Obstructed Tillage Spiritual Eye whose spiritual energy thickness is even above level nine!”
Ye Yuan smiled and said, “That’s right!”
In a spiritual vein, there were numerous spiritual vein eyes.
They were divided into a total of nine levels according to the concentration of spiritual energy.
But above level nine, there were still some extremely hard to come across spiritual vein terrains. Obstructed Tillage Spiritual Eye was one of them.
These spiritual vein eyes required an extremely complex environment before it could form. Furthermore, it was very hard to identify.
Even if ordinary saw it, they might not be able to recognize it too.
Of course, this could not stump Dustless.
“Obstructed Tillage Spiritual Eye has the spiritual energy’s eruption obstructed by a special terrain. In the course of time, it will produce extremely thick spiritual energy. Once opened, the spiritual energy concentration would be far above level nine. Heh heh, don’t you think we picked up a great bargain?” Ye Yuan said with a smile.
Encountering an Obstructed Tillage Spiritual Eye, he was very delighted too.
He was currently very eager to increase his strength too. Being able to encounter this kind of Obstructed Tillage Spiritual Eye would hasten his cultivation speed ten times over. His luck was really not the ordinary kind of good.
Chapter 1800. Enough to Guard the Door |
Bang!
When Ye Yuan laid down the last divine essence stone, the originally thin spiritual energy suddenly spewed out frenziedly like a volcanic eruption.
That violent spiritual energy was akin to materializing; visible to the naked eye.
Ceng You’s face revealed a look of wild elation as he said with a big laugh, “Hahaha … Ye Yuan, this time, it’s really all thanks to you! I didn’t expect that we actually ran into an Obstructed Tillage Spiritual Eye. Under such berserk spiritual energy, me breaking through to become an Eighth Firmament Divine Lord is also a matter of within these few days!”
He originally felt that Ye Yuan coming to open up an abode was too dangerous. That was why he came to help.
In the end, he did not help much and got a great bargain for nothing.
Ye Yuan smiled and said, “With this spiritual energy’s concentration, our cultivation shouldn’t have any worries within a thousand years. However, we have to cover up the eruption of spiritual energy here. Otherwise, it will definitely attract the coveting of observant people.”
Ceng You deeply felt that way too and said with a nod, “What you said is right! But wanting to block such berserk spiritual energy is probably not easy!”
Ye Yuan smiled and started bustling around again.
After several hours, the spiritual energy in this place returned to tranquility. On the surface, it did not look any different from the other places again.
But under the tranquility, that turbulent and surging spiritual energy made each of their pores relax and open up.
Looking at Ye Yuan’s bustling figure, the shock in Ceng You’s heart grew stronger.
This guy was simply unfathomable!
The two people were currently busying about when Ceng You suddenly felt his heart palpitate.
Several horrifying auras suddenly appeared from all directions.
A deer-form fierce beast said in human language, “Heh, didn’t expect that there’s actually a spiritual eye with such thick spiritual energy on this Firecloud Peak!”
Very clearly, these three fierce beasts had already unlocked spiritual wisdom.
“Ye Yuan! This … Three rank five fierce beasts!”
Ceng You instantly turned deathly pale. The joy of encountering the Obstructed Tillage Spiritual Eye immediately evaporated into thin air.
Ye Yuan was still busying about with his own things and did not seem to have the intention of paying attention to these three fierce beasts at all.
A wild boar similarly spoke in the human tongue, “Kid, in order to reward you, your Grandpa Pig will personally eat you!”
Another giant bear said, “Damn fat pig, old deer, this place has nothing to do with you, get further away!”
“Damn black bear, who the hell do you think you are? Do you really think that Grandpa Pig will be scared of you?”
The three fierce beasts did not place Ye Yuan and Ceng You in their sights at all, as if this place was already their territory.
At this time, Ye Yuan slowly stood up and said with a look of relief, “Finally done with it!”
That giant bear said, “Heh heh, this kid has some capability, to actually completely conceal this spiritual eye. Completely can’t see anything strange from the outside. Alright, kid, quickly run. Grandpa Bear gives you ten breaths of time. If you can escape, that’s your life being tenacious.”
Ye Yuan ignored him and said with Ceng You with a smile, “The remaining is opening up the abode. Stop stoning, quickly get to work.”
Ceng You was about to go crazy. How could this guy’s nerves be so thick? Didn’t you see that rank five fierce beasts talking to you?
That old deer laughed loudly as he said, “Hahaha, damn black bear, you are being ignored by a rank four punk, truly disgraceful!”
The giant bear was angered when he heard that and said, “Brat, Grandpa Bear is talking to you. Did you hear me?”
