Chapter 1107 - Three Great Kings
In the depths of the Bloodrain Wilderness's fifth level, three figures were currently surrounding a medicine spirit.
The strength of one of the figures was extremely powerful. Under his suppression, the battle portrayed a one-sided situation.
Very soon, that medicine spirit was thoroughly subdued.
These three figures were precisely Ye Yuan, Little Flame, as well as Fiery.
And the one with extremely fearsome battle-prowess earlier was precisely Little Flame.
The moment the fight started, Ye Yuan was struck dumb with amazement by Little Flame's combat power. He also did not expect that Little Flame's strength was actually so formidable.
Ye Yuan reckoned that Little Flame's strength was absolutely not inferior to the Ten Great Divine Kings.
Sure enough, after giving birth to a primordial spirit, these heaven and earth spiritual plants unlocked their intelligence, and their cultivation speed even advanced at a tremendous pace.
Ye Yuan even felt that if not restricted by heavenly Dao, Little Flame would likely have broken through to Deity Realm already.
Little Flame's strength was still just at the fifth level. Then just how powerful was the strength of those living beings at the sixth level?
"Little Flame, you really broadened my horizons! If there wasn't you, wanting to capture this Unrefined Gold Earthspirit Grass would really not be easy," Ye Yuan said joyfully.
Little Flame smiled and said, "Big Brother Ye Yuan, you came prepared. Even if there wasn't me around, it probably can't escape either."
This Unrefined Gold Earthspirit Grass was also a core medicine of the Dao Defying Pill.
Ye Yuan came to capture this Unrefined Gold Earthspirit Grass, Little Flame tagged along too. But did not expect that he became a great helper.
And these few days, Little Flame finally also knew Ye Yuan's means, and he could not help feeling lingering fear.
Only later on did he know that if not for him giving birth to a primordial spirit and becoming friends with Fiery, he would probably also have become a stalk of spirit medicine in Ye Yuan's storage ring already.
At that time, he asked Ye Yuan what would he do if he launched attacks at him.
Ye Yuan told him about his contingencies with a broad smile, frightening him badly.
Only at this time did Little Flame knew that, turns out Ye Yuan had long known about him like the palm of hands.
Although his strength was much greater than Ye Yuan's, Ye Yuan was truly scheming against the unwary. The result was really hard to say.
After all, each person had their own weakness.
Especially since Ye Yuan had long researched extremely thoroughly into the Dao Defying Pill's nine core medicines already. Wanting to capture them was not something very hard.
Ye Yuan said with a big laugh, "Although that's the case, without you, wanting to catch him would probably still have to expend considerable effort."
Little Flame said smilingly, "Huhu, in this fifth level, things that are able to make me apprehensive are really not many. However … Big Brother Ye Yuan, do you really want to go to the sixth level? Those few fellows in the sixth level are not that easy to get along with."
Ye Yuan said with a nod, "Since the sixth level has the Ten Fragrance Immortal Tuber, I must make this trip."
With Little Flame, such a fine guide, Ye Yuan naturally would not let it pass.
How many of the nine core medicines the Bloodrain Wilderness had, Ye Yuan naturally had to inquire clearly.
The Unrefined Gold Earthspirit Grass was one, the Ten Fragrance Immortal Tuber was another.
Except, the place where the Ten Fragrance Immortal Tuber was at, was the even more dangerous sixth level.
When Ye Yuan obtained this news, he hesitated for a while, too, but still decided to make a trip in the end.
The nine core ingredients were too hard to come by. Once missed it, wanting to find it again would need god knows how long.
This Bloodrain Wilderness could be said to be the most flourishing place for the Divine Realm's spirit medicines. But it only had a mere three kinds as well. The rarity could be imagined.
Little Flame asked Fiery, "Big Brother Ye Yuan wants to go, you're sure that you want to go too?"
Fiery nodded and said, "Of course! Where Big Brother goes to, I'm going there!"
Little Flame heaved a sigh and said, "Alright then. Big Brother Ye Yuan, the sixth level, I can't go there. Otherwise, I'll be directly obliterated by the power of restrictions. Hold this lotus leaf well. Using it at a critical moment will be equivalent to my all-out attack. Perhaps it can let you escape a crisis."
Ye Yuan was not courteous either. Receiving the lotus leaf, he clasped his hands and said, "Thanks!"
Toward Little Flame, Little Flame naturally could not bear to part with him leaving. It was just that he knew that he and Fiery would have to be separated sooner or later.
With Fiery opening up a path, naturally, no one dared to provoke Ye Yuan in the fifth level anymore.
Little Flame sent the two people to the entrance area leading to the sixth level and was still reluctant to part as he said, "Big Brother Ye Yuan, Fiery, you guys have to come back and visit me!"
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Relax, wait till I find the Ten Fragrance Immortal Tuber, I'll definitely come back to see you."
Seeing the two people off, vanishing inside the transmission array, Little Flame had a wistful look.
...
Entering the sixth level, Ye Yuan felt that even breathing became a little difficult.
Faintly perceptible powerful auras transmitted over from far away, making people shudder without feeling cold.
According to Little Flame, this sixth level had three great kings. They were respectively the Single-Horned Moyun Beast, Heaven Tunneling Rat, as well as the Heavenly Thunder Purple Bamboo.
The former two were desolate beasts, while the Heavenly Thunder Purple Bamboo was a powerful primordial spirit!
But regardless of which one, they were all overwhelmingly powerful.
"Big Brother, those three great kings' strengths are so powerful! I just entered the sixth level and actually had a thought of prostrating in worship!" Fiery said in alarm.
Fiery was a heaven and earth spiritual plant too. Presently, his strength was not weak either.
Before this, he had never had such a thought appear before.
But now, this thought suddenly welled up in his heart.
But Ye Yuan shook his head when he heard that and said, "Little Flame said, those three great kings are not Deity Realm powerhouses. Since they are not Deity Realm powerhouses, even if they are any stronger, it's impossible to make you give rise to such a thought either."
Fiery could not help being stupefied when he heard and said, "Then … what's going on?"
"If my conjectures are right, what made you produce to this kind of thought, is likely coming from the seventh level! It's just that this mysterious seventh level, no one has ever gone there before. What kind of existences are there, nobody knows. But without a doubt, the seventh level's existences are definitely terrifying to the extreme," Ye Yuan said with a slightly grim look.
Not just Fiery, Ye Yuan himself naturally sensed it too.
Upon entering the sixth level, Ye Yuan sensed that there was a terrifying aura attempting to make him yield.
But the strange thing was, the moment this aura touched him, the Soul Suppressing Pearl suddenly emitted a strange undulation, and directly repelled this aura back.
Ye Yuan seemed to sense that this aura seemed to have profaned the Soul Suppressing Pearl, making it angry.
It was as if that terrifying aura had affronted it.
This discovery made Ye Yuan abnormally shocked.
The Soul Suppressing Pearl was a really hard to fathom existence.
But no matter what, that aura was unable to affect Ye Yuan anymore.
"I heard that Zhuge Qingxuan ent
ered the sixth level before. If my conjectures are right, he must have come aiming for the Deity Realm. Looking at it now, the sixth level shouldn't have secrets relating to the Deity Realm. Rather, that seventh level might really have secrets concerning Deity Realm. It's just, don't know if he went in or not. Fiery, you'd best enter the Vast Heaven Pagoda," Ye Yuan said.
Fiery nodded his head and was directly taken in by Ye Yuan.
His condition was clearly not too suited to continue penetrating deep in.
"Little Flame said that the Ten Fragrance Immortal Tuber is within a 10 thousand mile radius of the transmission array. Better find it as soon as possible and leave, so as to prevent unnecessary complications from cropping up. Once we startled the three great kings, it wouldn't be good."
Ye Yuan restrained his aura and started searching for the Ten Fragrance Immortal Tuber.
Chapter 1108 - Five-Colored Evergrowing Soil
Ye Yuan deployed Heaven Man Unity heart realm to the limits, taking everything in the surrounding into his sight.
Those powerful existences, Ye Yuan avoided them one by one.
To martial artists, 10 thousand miles was not too large of an area. It did not take much time for Ye Yuan to search.
Finally, three days later, Ye Yuan found traces of the Ten Fragrance Immortal Tuber!
The Ten Fragrance Immortal Tuber was an earth-attribute spirit medicine, adept at escaping through the earth. The strength of the medicine spirit was also not to be trifled with.
But these did not pose any difficulty to Ye Yuan.
He did not act rashly and alert the enemy, but laid down several Tier 9 array formations in the vicinity, enclosing its surrounding area into a metal bucket.
This way, the Ten Fragrance Immortal Tuber would be hard-pressed to escape even if it had wings.
However, just as Ye Yuan was planning on taking action to subdue the Ten Fragrance Immortal Tuber, an abnormality suddenly occurred.
The Ten Fragrance Immortal Tuber suddenly went berserk, ramming against the grand array abruptly.
What made Ye Yuan stare dumbfoundedly with his mouth agape was that the originally impregnable grand array actually collapsed with a loud bang under the Ten Fragrance Immortal Tuber's one strike.
The Ten Fragrance Immortal Tuber breached the grand array and sped towards the depths of the sixth level with immense speed.
Ye Yuan had no time to dwell on it. Immediately merging into heaven and earth, he chased after it.
It was just that this Ten Fragrance Immortal Tuber's fleeing speed was actually incomparably fast. Ye Yuan actually could not catch up within a short time.
It looked like the Ten Fragrance Immortal Tuber was about to run out of the 10 thousand mile radius. Ye Yuan could not help feeling greatly anxious.
Forget about startling the three great kings, even startling the kind of existences like Little Flame, he would be unable to bear the consequences of failure too.
Ye Yuan was very confident in his own strength. But he was not yet confident to the extent of being wildly conceited.
The three great kings, that kind of existence, he was absolutely not a match.
Unknowingly, the two, one chased, one ran, already far exceeded the range of 10 thousand mile radius.
"Can't keep chasing like this anymore, going all out!"
Ye Yuan's face fell, and the Evil Extermination Sword was suddenly unleashed.
Whoosh!
The speed of the Evil Extermination Sword flooded with divine essence was inconceivable quick, directly pinning down the Ten Fragrance Immortal Tuber in the midst of escaping.
Ye Yuan could not help being overjoyed when he saw the situation and chased after with a flash.
At present, it was also uncertain how far out he chased. Ye Yuan did not dare to stay and immediately sealed the Ten Fragrance Immortal Tuber, planning on speeding over to the transmission array.
But right at this time, an extremely powerful divine sense suddenly descended, locking Ye Yuan down firmly.
Ye Yuan was akin to being struck by lightning, his entire person paralyzed there.
This pressure, Ye Yuan had only sensed it before on Spirit Bristle, that kind of existence.
Without a doubt, the owner of this divine sense was likely one of the three great kings!
Ye Yuan sighed slightly in his heart. He did not expect that he would still alarm them in the end.
A purple-shirt youth slowly walked out of the void. Staring at Ye Yuan with an unfriendly expression, he said coldly, "Ignorant human, you actually dare to act wildly in this king's boundary!""
Ye Yuan's scalp tingled. This purple-shirt youth, barring no accidents, was likely the Heavenly Thunder Purple Bamboo.
The powerful undulations coming off his body, even Ye Yuan felt his heart palpitate too.
This youth was too strong!
"This one is most likely Senior Heavenly Thunder Purple Bamboo, right? Junior Ye Yuan having affronted Senior is seriously against my will. This Ten Fragrance Immortal Tuber is too important to this junior. If it disturbed Senior's cultivation, Ye Yuan is willing to compensate with other things," Ye Yuan clasped his hands and said.
The Heavenly Thunder Purple Bamboo shot Ye Yuan a cold glance and said with a cold smile, "Laughable! Do you think that there's still something in this world that can move this king?"
Ye Yuan could not help feeling awkward when he heard. To the Heavenly Thunder Purple Bamboo, this level of existence, most likely what could move them, was only that fleeting and ephemeral Deity Realm.
Or perhaps, bringing them out of this space.
Except, Ye Yuan could say these words to Little Flame, but was unable to say them to the Heavenly Thunder Purple Bamboo. Because he would not believe it at all.
Of course, Ye Yuan still had the Vast Heaven Stele and Soul Suppressing Pearl, this sort of heaven-defying treasures. But it was naturally impossible for Ye Yuan to take them out.
The Heavenly Thunder Purple Bamboo said coolly, "You, boy, your strength isn't strong. To actually be able to walk to the sixth level, it makes this king somewhat surprised. That aura earlier should be a divine artifact, right? Luckily, who you ran into was this king. If it were those two fellows, they probably wouldn't be as amiable!"
Ye Yuan's expression turned apprehensive, thinking to himself that this guy indeed took fancy on his divine artifact.
But the Evil Extermination Sword, he absolutely would not hand it over.
"Whatever requests Senior have, feel free to say. What Ye Yuan can accomplish, I definitely won't decline. But this divine artifact …" Ye Yuan said.
The Heavenly Thunder Purple Bamboo said disdainfully, "Relax, divine artifacts are useless to me. But I'm rather interested in you. Stay behind and be my servant for 10 thousand years. At that time, I'll naturally let you leave.
Ye Yuan knew that this guy would not say anything nice.
Disregarding other things, how could Ye Yuan be someone contented to bow down to others?
"This … Junior can't do it." Ye Yuan said neither obsequiously nor haughtily.
He did not wish to get into a conflict with the Heavenly Thunder Purple Bamboo, but it did not mean that he was really scared of the Heavenly Thunder Purple Bamboo.
The Heavenly Thunder Purple Bamboo seemed to have long expected it and said with a cold smile, "You brat, could it be that you're making a joke out of this king? Divine artifact can't, being a servant can't as well. Why don't you say what else you have that can make this king take fancy upon?"
Ye Yuan thought about it and said, "I wonder if senior is interested in Five-Colored Evergrowing Soil?"
The Heavenly Thunder Purple Bamboo originally still had a 'never making a concession' appearance. Hearing Ye Yuan's words, his expression immediately changed and he said, "You … You actually have Five-Colored Evergrowing Soil too? Quick! Quickly take it out!"
It was also no wonder that the Heavenly Thunder Purple Bamboo was astonished. The Five-Colored Evergrowing Soil posse
ssed lethal allure to any plant.
Legends had it that the Five-Colored Evergrowing Soil was an earth-attribute supreme treasure, containing the power of the Five-Elements Source. The Heavenly Thunder Purple Bamboo, this kind of heaven and earth spiritual plant could glimpse into the source of the great Dao through the Five-Colored Evergrowing Soil.
Reaching the Heavenly Thunder Purple Bamboo's level of realm, there naturally was nothing that they would take fancy upon anymore. But that did not mean that they did not have the room for improvement.
This Five-Colored Evergrowing Soil was precisely one of the things that could let him advance further.
So much so that if heavenly Dao laws was able to allow Deity Realm to appear once more, this Five-Colored Evergrowing Soil was absolutely able to let him cross that heavenly chasm!
The Heavenly Thunder Purple Bamboo totally thought that Ye Yuan had the Five-Colored Evergrowing Soil on him. Who knew that Ye Yuan shook his head and said very scoundrelly, "Don't have!"
The Heavenly Thunder Purple Bamboo's agitation instantly turned into rage. A terrifying aura immediately enveloped Ye Yuan.
"You dare to fool this king? Truly tired of living!" The Heavenly Thunder Purple Bamboo said.
Ye Yuan said smilingly, "Senior, don't get worked up. It looks like Senior should have seen the Five-Colored Evergrowing Soil before, right?"
The Heavenly Thunder Purple Bamboo was not dumb either. He instantly understood Ye Yuan's meaning and said with a cold smile, "Your meaning is that you're planning on using that guy's stuff to bribe this king, to make this king let you go? Heh, brat, you really calculated really well! This kind of empty promise, do you really take this king to be a three-year-old kid?"
That guy that the Heavenly Thunder Purple Bamboo was talking about was precisely Zhuge Qingxuan!
According to what Ye Yuan knew, Zhuge Qingxuan had precisely a chunk of Five-Colored Evergrowing Soil in his hands. It was viewed by him as a forbidden slice of meat, and he absolutely did not permit others encroach on it.
The Heavenly Thunder Purple Bamboo's current expression naturally ill.u.s.trated that Zhuge Qingxuan had indeed come to the sixth level before. Furthermore, he even made a deal with the Heavenly Thunder Purple Bamboo before.
