"Since the Vastsun Bright Moon Realm came into being, there has never been anyone who opened up another passageway to enter inside before. Today, it really broadened my horizons! What a terrific Divine Martial Hall! This Yue has remembered it!" Yue Jianqiu said in a cold voice.
Today's incident was an unprecedented humiliation to the Yue Family. How could Yue Jianqiu not take it to heart?
Furthermore, a martial artist carrying a divine artifact entering the Vastsun Bright Moon Realm increased a great deal of variables.
"Family Head, what should we do now?" Yue Jianfeng could not resist asking.
That Han Tong's strength was very formidable. Furthermore, he had the Spirithorn Shattering Mirror, this level of divine artifact, in his hands. Once they met, he was not a match at all.
Yue Jianqiu said solemnly, "You lot enter inside first. Later, I'll send Elder Lingyu to enter the Vastsun Bright Moon Realm to lend you a helping hand. If you run into that Han Tong, capture and summarily execute!"
Yue Jianfeng's expression changed, not expecting that Family Head actually made such a firm decision this time.
Yue Lingyu was a Yue Family's elder and also Yue Jianfeng's aunt, the other divine king powerhouse of the Yue Family.
Sending her into the Vastsun Brightmoon Realm, this was making up his mind to make Han Tong stay.
...
Inside the Vastsun Bright Moon Realm, birds sang and the flowers were fragrant; it was a quiet and peaceful atmosphere.
It was just that the Yue Family members were all aware that this place actually concealed many killing intents.
"What is it, Big Brother Yuan?" Yue Mengli discovered that Ye Yuan had knitted brows, and she could not resist asking.
Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "Nothing. I just feel that this place is rather strange."
"Strange? Our Yue Family and Zhou Family have already entered the Vastsun Bright Moon Realm who knows how many times. We've never discovered anything amiss here before!" Yue Mengli said wonderingly.
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Maybe I was thinking too much."
At this time, Yue Jianfeng said to everyone, "Now, everybody, disperse. Seek out your own lucky chance respectively! Except that this time, everybody saw it too. The situation is a little different. Everyone needs to be careful. If you see people apart from the two Yue and Zhou families, if it's within the scope of your abilities, everybody must cut them down! The prestige of the Yue Family does not tolerate these people to come and blaspheme! Understood?"
"Understood!" Voices of assent that shook the heavens echoed out.
These one thousand martial artists all had extremely deep connections with the Yue Family and naturally stood on the Yue Family's side.
After everyone dispersed, Ye Yuan and Yue Mengli also headed towards the deep areas of the mystic realm to seek out their own lucky chance.
Inside the Vastsun Bright Moon Realm, the so-called lucky chance was the eye-baptizing spirit springs. If a martial artist found an eye-baptizing spirit spring site, they could jump in the mouth of the spring. The spring waters would cleanse the martial artist's marrow.
Of course, the most important function of this spirit spring was to cleanse the eyes. It could let the martial artist's ocular arts evolve, achieving the postnatal Vastsun Flameheart Pupil or Moonlight Heavenly Eye from there.
"This Vastsun Bright Moon Realm was opened up together to your two families. I've always been curious, why the Bright Moon City's martial artists, what they obtained were all Moonlight Heavenly Eye powers," along the way, Ye Yuan asked curiously.
"It's said that this is because of Bright Moon City's moonlight! Martial artists who stay in Bright Moon City for a long time, their bodies will carry the aura of the Moonlight Heavenly Eye. When they enter the Vastsun Bright Moon Realm to acquire eye-baptizing spirit springs, they would naturally obtain the powers of the Moonlight Heavenly Eye," Yue Jianfeng said.
The others all scattered respectively. But Yue Jianfeng followed Ye Yuan and Yue Mengli, protecting the two of them.
"Like that, huh! Most likely, this is the means of a Deity Realm powerhouse. Deity Realm powerhouses are truly what nobody can imagine!" Ye Yuan sighed with admiration.
"Hahaha! I found an eye-baptizing spirit spring!" Right at this time, an excited voice came over from not far away.
The three people looked over following the voice, only to see that a martial artist found the mouth of a spring the size of a well, and he was abnormally excited.
With a splash, that martial artist directly jumped into the mouth of the spring.
"ARGH!!"
A miserable cry transmitted over. That martial artist did not have his eyes cleansed by the spirit spring, but it was like he was boiled by that spirit spring instead, steaming hot.
The three people, their judgments were good. They watched that martial artist struggle a few times, then immediately went silent.
That martial artist was actually directly melted by the spring waters, without even leaving behind scraps.
This scene made people's hair stand on end.
"Fool! Can't even distinguish between a spirit spring and decay spring, and also dare to barge into the Vastsun Bright Moon Realm!" Yue Jianfeng said with a cold sneer.
"Decay spring?" Ye Yuan asked curiously.
"Inside this Vastsun Bright Moon Realm, there are two kinds of spring. One type is the eye-baptizing spirit spring, greatly beneficial to martial artists. The other type is this decay spring. Its corrosive powers are extremely strong. Even if a Dao Profound Realm powerhouse entered inside, it's a certain death too! That person just now wasn't a member of the Zhou and Yue two families. He must be a martial artist who entered from that passageway. Only the permanent residents of Bright Moon City would know these secrets," Yue Jianfeng said.
Ye Yuan also sighed endlessly when he heard. The Yue Family and Zhou Family operated for countless years by the two of them. Clearly, there were many secrets that the outside world did not know.
Ye Yuan came beside the decay spring and saw that the water surface was calm. It was as if nothing had happened earlier.
"Ye Yuan, let's go. The eye-baptizing spirit springs are also split into good and bad. The truly good spirit springs are still in the deep areas of the mystic realm. Han Tong those people definitely headed to the depths of the mystic realm. We'd better not lose time." Yue Jianfeng saw that Ye Yuan was interested in the decay spring and could not resist urging him.
However, it was like Ye Yuan did not hear it. He still stared at the decay spring.
Yue Jianfeng was about to open his mouth again but saw Yue Mengli making a 'hush' hand gesture at him, saying softly, "Don't interrupt Big Brother Yuan. Let him look. Maybe he had noticed something."
Yue Jianfeng could only drop it. But he was still rather disdainful in his heart. A decay spring that claimed people's lives, what was there to study?
Ye Yuan was currently looking, when he suddenly leaped, jumping down into the decay spring.
Seeing this scene, Yue Jianfeng and Yue Mengli's expression both changed greatly!
Chapter 955 - Reverse-Life Spirit Spring
Splash!
Ye Yuan landed inside the mouth of the spring, splashing up a wave.
"Ahh! Big Brother Yuan, don't!" Yue Mengli screamed.
However, it was already too late. Ye Yuan's entire person submerged inside.
When the two people rushed to the spring, how could they still see Ye Yuan's figure? The spring water was clearly transparent, but one completely could not see Ye Yuan.
Yue Mengli actually wanted to directly jump into the water without even thinking but was held back by Yue Jianfeng.
"Li-er, don't! This is a decay spring! Even if I fell inside, there's no way to come out alive either!" Yue Jianfeng said.
Yue Mengli's tears flowed out all at once. She completely did not think that Ye Yuan actually directly jumped inside.
What Yue Jianfeng said was right. Even if a Dao Profound Realm powerhouse like him jump
ed in, it was also impossible to survive, let alone Ye Yuan.
Now, the surface of the water already recovered its tranquility. But Ye Yuan's head did not even pop out. Most likely …
Yue Mengli did not dare to imagine anymore. She could not understand, Ye Yuan clearly saw that person's outcome earlier. Why did he still want to jump inside the decay spring?
Splash!
A wave splashed, Ye Yuan's head tunneled out from inside the mouth of the spring.
When Yue Jianfeng and Yue Mengli saw this scene, their eyes were filled with disbelief. Ye Yuan actually came out perfectly unscathed!
Logically, at this time, Ye Yuan should have long been thoroughly melted down.
"Ye Yuan, you … you're actually alright!" Yue Jianfeng's eyes widened, and he said.
Ye Yuan said smilingly, "Indeed as I expected, this so-called decay spring is actually also a type of spirit spring. It's just that the method people draw from it is incorrect, that's all! Let's not talk first. I feel like I'm going to break through."
All of a sudden, with Ye Yuan as the center, a fierce essence energy storm surged. Yue Jianfeng and Yue Mengli hurriedly retreated.
The two people exchanged a glance, both seeing the astonishment in the other party's eyes.
Since ancient times, there had never been anyone capable of surviving inside this decay spring. Not only was Ye Yuan fine, but he also obtained tremendous benefits inside the decay spring instead and directly broke through!
"Looks like our Yue Family's understanding of the Vastsun Bright Moon Realm is still too superficial!" Looking at Ye Yuan breaking through, Yue Jianfeng said with a bitter smile.
Before long, the essence energy storm ceased. Ye Yuan successfully broke through to Second Level Phaseless.
After Ye Yuan left the decay spring, the mouth of that spring could actually be seen disappearing at a speed visible to the n.a.k.e.d eye, finally becoming an area of flatland.
"Big Brother Yuan, just what on earth is going on here?" Yue Mengli also came forward to ask impatiently.
Ye Yuan's actions earlier completely subverted their understanding.
They never knew that this decay spring actually still had such an effect.
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "This decay spring is actually a type of ancient spirit spring called reverse-life spirit spring!"
"Reverse-life spirit spring?" Yue Jianfeng and Yue Mengli both had blank looks. Clearly, they had never heard of this name before.
"You guys can't be blamed for not knowing either. The reverse-life spirit spring has long disappeared in the Divine Realm already. I also saw it inside an ancient record, that was how I recognized it. I didn't expect that inside this Vastsun Bright Moon Realm would actually have this kind of thing," Ye Yuan said with an emotional sigh.
But Yue Jianfeng became anxious and asked, "Just what is the reverse-life spirit spring that you mentioned? Why would others be melted down when they enter the decay spring, while you're completely fine?"
Ye Yuan explained, "The reverse-life spirit springs is born from heaven and earth, containing powerful, yet violent essence energy. Legend has it that as long as one drinks a mouthful of reverse-life spirit spring, it could directly let a First Level Dao Profound martial artist breakthrough to Third Level Dao Profound! Of course, the prerequisite is that you're not immediately stuffed by this violent essence energy until you explode."
"What?! This … This is also too exaggerated, right? That you just now …"Yue Jianfeng nearly jumped up, a look of disbelief written all over his face.
To the majority of martial artists, after breaking through to Dao Profound Realm, each breakthrough of a minor realm needed to expend several hundred years, even a thousand years of time.
But one mouthful of spirit spring could let a First Level Dao Profound martial artist breakthrough to Third Level Dao Profound, this sort of spirit spring was also a bit too terrifying!
More importantly, what Ye Yuan said was one mouthful of spirit spring. But that decay spring just now was a small pool. Although Ye Yuan broke through cultivation realm, the effects were far from as horrifying as he said.
Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Heh, do you think that reverse-life spirit springs are cabbages on the roadside; there can be one randomly? That reverse-life spirit spring earlier has been diluted goodness knows how many times! If there was really such a large reverse-life spirit spring, do you think that I'd dare easily go into the water?"
Yue Jianfeng's old face could not help turning red, aware that he was overthinking it.
This Vastsun Bright Moon Realm had God knows how many decay springs. If it was really all reverse-life spirit springs, then it would be even more precious than the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil!
"Big Brother Yuan, then this reverse-life spirit spring, why would people be melted away when they go into it?" Yue Mengli said doubtfully.
The moment Yue Jianfeng heard, he could not help perking his ears up too. This was the area he was most curious about.
Ye Yuan said smilingly, "Reverse-life spirit springs have a distinguishing trait, that is when absorbing, one mustn't revolve it according to normal cultivation methods. Otherwise, it would become strong corrosive poison, directly melting people away! One must reverse their cultivation methods to revolve, before they can absorb the essence energy inside. Reverse-life spirit springs got its name from this as well. Not knowing the inside story and rashly absorbing the spirit spring is no different from seeking death."
Yue Jianfeng duo marveled endlessly when they heard. Creation was indeed miraculous. There was actually still such a bizarre spirit spring in this world.
If one did not understand beforehand, who could have known that this terrifying decay spring was actually a heaven and earth rare treasure?
Yue Jianfeng sighed incessantly when he heard, and said, "The Vastsun Bright Moon Realm has existed for so many years. Our Yue Family is sitting on a treasure but weren't aware of it ourselves. What irony!"
Ye Yuan sighed as well and said, "Truly envious of the martial artists in the Divine Dao Era! Most likely, many heaven and earth rare treasures utterly scattered and disappeared along with the disappearance of Divine Dao! This reverse-life spirit spring is a heaven and earth rare treasure to Dao Profound Realm martial artists. But when placed in the Divine Dao Era, it's also nothing more than this, right?"
First Level Dao Profound to Third Level Dao Profound sounded scary. But if Deity Realm powerhouses still existed in the world, this was also merely so-so.
This degree of essence energy to Deity Realm powerhouses was probably also just trying to put out a cartload of burning logs with a cup of water.
This reverse-life spirit spring was already extinct in the Divine Realm. No one was able to find any traces at all. Even records that recorded it were extremely, extremely rare.
Although the Medicine King Hall was the super holy land with the most shallow foundation, the depths of its bedrock was what the average person could not imagine.
For several thousand years, Ji Zhengyang explored who knows how many mystic realms and obtained quite a number of extremely valuable records.
In order to pursuit the paramount Alchemy God Realm, Ye Yuan browsed through God knows how many of this type of records. His knowledge and understanding were not what ordinary martial artists could compare to at all.
But in the Divine Dao Era, this level of heaven and earth rare treasure probably would not be as scarce as presently.
Ye Yuan did not say so without reason as well.
His goal was never the Divine King Realm, but that paramount Deity Realm!
This sort of emotions, probably only the Yue Mengli whose heart was linked with his could understand.
"Alright, continue the journey then! If we run into reverse-life spirit springs again, the two of you can also go in to absorb it," Ye Yuan said.
Chapter 956 - Struggle for Spirit Springs
Ye Yuan trio headed towards the deep areas. Along the way, it was peaceful as well.r />
The Vastsun Bright Moon Realm was extremely vast. But the number of spirit springs was very scarce and not that easy to encounter.
As for who could obtain it, it would have to depend on their respectively lucky chances.
Of course, apart from the eye-baptizing spirit springs, there were still many heaven and earth rare treasures within the mystic realm. Those with good luck would similarly reap significant harvests.
When the three people walked to a region of mountain valleys, suddenly, the place ahead was covered in mist, like a mortal world paradise.
Yue Jianfeng could not help being overjoyed as he said in exhilaration, "It's an eye-baptizing spirit spring. Furthermore, the grade isn't low! Li-er, let's go and check it out. If it's a top-grade spirit spring, it will be yours."
Eye-baptizing spirit springs were divided into five grade, respectively: low-grade, middle-grade, high-grade, top-grade, and the legendary heaven-grade.
It was said that if a martial artist acquired a heaven-grade spirit spring, it would produce a spirit physique second only to the innate Moonlight Heavenly Eye Physique, with exceedingly powerful ocular powers!
It was just that heaven-grade spirit springs were too rare. The Yue Family entered the Vastsun Bright Moon Realm so many times and also merely obtained it a measly few times before.
Hence, if Yue Mengli could obtain a top-grade spirit spring, it was already expressing thanks to heaven and earth.
Top-grade spirit springs were also not that easy to run into.
"It's indeed a top-grade spirit spring! Heh, luck this time is really not bad. Just entered the mystic realm for two day's time and we ran into a top-grade spirit spring! Li-er, you quickly enter the spirit spring. With this top-grade spirit spring, your ocular powers will have hopes of approaching the Divine Luo Realm!" Yue Jianfeng said delightedly.
Ocular arts was a type of magical, yet mysterious technique, equivalent to adding an auxiliary martial technique for the martial artist.
Powerful ocular arts could exterminate the opponent with a wave of one's hands. Moreover, it was impossible to guard against.
