A sect possessing a Tier 5 Formation Sovereign. How could ordinary people dare to provoke the sect?
Just based on that Heavenly Thunder Essence Locking Grand Array outside, not many people would dare to come and aggravate them, right?
The Divine Realm's Grand Yan Divine King, even before he ascended, he would surely have been an Endless World legend already.
Even if his disciples and followers were complete trash, there should also not be any problem to sustain for several thousand years.
But looking at this Eternal Splendor Palace, why did it look like it vanished into thin air overnight?
What in the world happened back then? What was with this mystic realm?
Ye Yuan thought carefully and felt that there just seemed to be something not right.
All of a sudden, Ye Yuan's peripheral sight scanned and discovered a jade slip fragment on the operating platform!
Chapter 330 - Nameless Black Bead
Ye Yuan casually waved his hand, and that jade slip fragment flew into his hand.
He sunk his divine sense into it but discovered that the information inside was incomplete.
Especially the content towards the back tended to only be a few short words. It did not even form sentences.
Only 'invasion,' 'bloody battle,' 'death,' these simple few words attracted Ye Yuan's attention.
"Looks like this Eternal Splendor Palace seemed to have suffered a catastrophe back then. That's why it met such an end. Or perhaps Lu Linfeng exhausted the sect's destiny alone, resulting in the Eternal Splendor Palace bearing such an undeserved calamity," Ye Yuan sighed and muttered to himself.
Ye Yuan put down the jade slip and came to the Tier 5 medicinal cauldron's side, only to see the word 'Square' on the side of the medicinal cauldron.
"This should be the medicinal cauldron's name, right? Square Cauldron. Very fitting," Ye Yuan said smilingly.
Ye Yuan used divine sense to sweep over Square Cauldron and could not helping praising again. "Indeed well-deserved of the Dao teachings that Lu Linfeng left behind. The array formations inscribed on this medicinal cauldrons is also so extravagant!"
The previous owner of this Square Cauldron had clearly already passed away a long time ago. Now, it was an ownerless object.
Ye Yuan just had to leave his own divine sense imprint on it to be able to utilize the medicinal cauldron.
But when Ye Yuan was planting his divine sense imprint, the Square Cauldron gave off a series of roars. It actually appeared to be rather opposed.
This made Ye Yuan feel quite astonished. He sighed emotionally and said, "Profound artifact's spirit link. Looks like you had very deep feelings with your previous owner! I wonder . . . How is that Limitless Cauldron of mine now. Sigh . . ."
Above spirit artifacts were profound artifacts. This Square Cauldron was a profound artifact!
Spirit artifact already had spirituality. Profound artifacts were naturally even more attuned.
The owner of the Square Cauldron already passed away for several thousand years, but it still did not wish to acknowledge Ye Yuan as master. It could be seen just how deep its feelings for its former owner was.
Seeing this reminded him of it. Medicinal cauldrons were no longer an artifact item but like their family members.
A paltry Square Cauldron had such spirituality, let along Ye Yuan's Tier 9 Limitless Cauldron.
Seemingly sensing the sorrow in Ye Yuan's heart, the Square Cauldron's tremoring sounds became softer, sounding like whimpering. It actually produced a resonance with Ye Yuan.
This made Ye Yuan stupefied. He smiled and said, "You staying here will only let a fine artifact be covered in dust. Do you want to lie in this place for thousands of years? I know that you have very deep feelings for your previous owner. But if you bump into another owner who treasures you, wouldn't it be a hundred times better than you lying here? Rest assured, I'll let you give off even more dazzling brilliance than before!"
The Square Cauldron obviously could not understand Ye Yuan's words. But it could understand Ye Yuan's meaning through Ye Yuan's divine sense.
Ye Yuan's confidence regarding the Alchemy Path simply did not need to be feigned. Because in this world, he was one of those strongest few people!
Of course, if he was given time, he might perhaps be the strongest and not one of!
Or maybe Ye Yuan's lament before moved the Square Cauldron, or perhaps Ye Yuan's powerful confidence infected the Square Cauldron.
All in all, it did not resist this time and freely allowed Ye Yuan to leave an imprint on its body.
All of a sudden, the Square Cauldron shone brilliantly. The dust on the cauldron body all fell off.
A profound artifact that was covered in dust for thousands of years came into being once more!
Ye Yuan smiled faintly and put away the Square Cauldron into the spatial spirit artifact. Then, he patted White Light's tiny head and said, "Come, let's continue."
To White Light, seeking treasure seemed to be a very enjoyable thing. He jumped up joyfully and led Ye Yuan to set off again.
This time, White Light ran a very long distance and arrived at a room again.
But what made Ye Yuan surprised was that he was just about to push the door and enter when the door opened from inside. It was actually Wu Zhao who walked out from inside.
He did not think that this room was actually grabbed by Wu Zhao first.
And just as Wu Zhao was about to appear, White Light vanished with a swoosh. He actually hid inside the spatial spirit artifact already.
When Wu Zhao saw Ye Yuan, he was also stunned. Right after, he said delightedly, "So, it's Martial Nephew Ye. You arrived a step late. I just found a 32 restrictions spirit artifact inside. You don't need to go in anymore, haha!"
Wu Zhao suffered losses at Ye Yuan's hand repeatedly, but this time, he gained an edge over Ye Yuan. He immediately felt his spirit become refreshed.
Ye Yuan smiled lightly and said, "Then I'll have to congratulate Elder Wu. Since this place has already been searched by Elder Wu, I'll go look elsewhere."
Presumably, Wu Zhao would not leave him anything either. Entering again was naturally a wild goose chase.
Furthermore, Ye Yuan knew that the Heavenly Sky Sect surely had their own method to retain treasures. It was just that he did not expose it earlier.
Since everyone was relying on their own means anyway, whoever found it, would belong to that person.
Ye Yuan believed that with White Light this treasure seeking expert, the things he found would naturally not be inferior to the Heavenly Sky Sect.
Finished talking, Ye Yuan left straight away.
Wu Zhao saw that Ye Yuan had no reaction at all and unwittingly felt like his punch struck the air; incredibly depressed.
Seeing Ye Yuan leave, Wu Zhao also left uninterestedly.
But after Wu Zhao left, Ye Yuan's figure appeared at the entrance of this room again.
Ye Yuan also thought that this room already had nothing much to search for. But after he had just left, White Light appeared again, biting his pants as he dragged him over here.
Could it be that this room still had some good stuff?
But towards White Light's judgment, Ye Yuan was still very confident.
This room was rather like a utility room, piled full of all sorts of things inside messily.
Sweeping a glance across, some places were already emptied out. Clearly, it was taken by Wu Zhao.
White Light took three steps as two steps and came to the corner self against the wall, holding a shiny black bead, and came in front of Ye Yuan.
Ye Yuan reached out to receive the bead and involuntarily furrowed his brows slightly.
This bead was too inconspicuous. At a glance, it was simply unranked. It was no wonder that Wu Zhao did not notice it at all.
Ye Yuan could not refrain from playing with this black bead and tried inserting a trace of essence energy. But there was still no reaction at all.
The unresigned Ye Yuan probed his divine sense inside again, but there was still no reaction at all.
With this, Ye Yuan was completely bummed out.
Presumably, the Eternal Splendor Palace person most likely tried all sorts of means after obtaining this bead as well but was fruitless in the end. That was why it was cast aside like an old shoe. Otherwise, it would also not be placed in a remote corner like this.
With Ye Yuan's knowledge and experience, he was also unable to tell what on earth this bead was, let alone other people.
Could it be that White Light made a mistake this time? This was just a very ordinary bead?
Ye Yuan could not help looking over at White Light and noticed that he was currently wagging his tail to claim credit. He involuntarily laughed and said, "I'm afraid that you misjudged this time."
White Light protested immediately when he heard that. He bounced up and down and bared his teeth, just short of roaring at Ye Yuan.
Speaking of it was strange, White Light was already middle-stage Tier 2, but his physique actually did not change at all. He still looked like a kitten.
Ye Yuan was helpless and could only put the black bead away in the spatial spirit artifact.
But right at that instant, a wave of stabbing pain flooded Ye Yuan's sea of consciousness.
The golden characters gave off a blinding light, then that black bead vanished with a whoosh!
Chapter 331 - Underground Sudden Change!
Ye Yuan's divine sense fell into a trace briefly but recovered swiftly.
He was secretly alarmed and quickly inspected his own sea of consciousness and could not help being taken aback.
That black bead was currently suspended within his sea of consciousness quietly!
And those golden characters were revolving around the black bead, appearing very serene.
What kind of situation was this?
Ye Yuan was dumbfounded for a moment. He had never encountered such a bizarre incident.
What the hell was this black bead, to actually arouse the golden characters' covetous eyes?
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.
