  But Zhou Yuan simply glanced at him and did not directly attack. Instead, he turned towards the direction of Chu Qing and the others because the situation was now extremely clear.

  If the Sacred Palace didn’t want to leave both Chai Ying and Chi Lei to be buried here, then they should admit defeat.

  Chu Qing gently nodded when Zhou Yuan cast a glance over, and he immediately turned to Jiang Taishen outside the boundary, sighing. “Jiang Taishen, what a shame. It seems that the two Chosen you have sent out have failed to complete your task.”

  Jiang Taishen’s eyes drooped for an instant before he replied with an indifferent look on his face. “Chu Qing, aren’t you being too complacent?”

  Chu Qing smiled and said lazily, “You can make your own choice on what to do next. If you still want to continue playing, then my Cangxuan Sect will accompany you.”

  Given the present situation, the initiative had now fallen into the hands of the Cangxuan Sect. If the Sacred Palace wanted to continue to fight, they would have to fight to the death.

  But various sects were gathered here, watching in the dark. The Sacred Palace most likely did not have the courage to fight to the bitter end.

  This was also the reason why Jiang Taishen had sent Chai Ying and Chi Lei in, hoping to break them from the inside and thereby weaken the Cangxuan Sect. Unfortunately his plan had utterly failed.

  If the Sacred Palace still intended to continue to drag on the battle, then the Sacred Palace would inevitably lose Chi Lei and Chai Ying, two of their Chosen.

  In truth, Jiang Taishen was not particularly concerned with their lives. However, even if they died, it would not make the Sacred Palace's situation any better.

  Jiang Taishen slightly closed his eyes, which slowly opened a moment later as a smile resurfaced on his face. “Chu Qing, this time our Sacred Palace admits defeat. The location of the seven-color treasure has no fate with my Sacred Palace.”

  He was a decisive person. Knowing that it would be useless even if he were to drag this on, he might as well choose to give up.

  The other Chosen of the Sacred Palace, although reluctant, dared not disobey Jiang Taishen’s order. They had no choice but to gradually withdraw their Genesis Qi. They similarly understood that their Sacred Palace was already at a disadvantage.

  Seeing this, Chu Qing chuckled out loud. “In that case, retreat. After this matter is finished, my Cangxuan Sect will release your two Chosen.”

  Jiang Taishen remained calm and composed and did not say much. Instead his eyes suddenly darted towards Zhou Yuan’s figure in the valley, and they narrowed. “Zhou Yuan, am I right? My Sacred Palace will remember today’s matter.”

  His voice fell, and he directly turned away, treading across the Genesis Qi in the air without even taking a glance at the severely wounded Chi Lei and Chai Ying.

  He was not worried that the Cangxuan Sect would kill them because, just as he did not want to fight to death with the Cangxuan Sect, they were also afraid of truly angering them.

  Zhan Taiqing turned around and tried to catch up. Jin Chanzi’s golden eyes continued to stare at Zhou Yuan from afar with undisguised coldness.

  “Zhou Yuan, I hope you can come out of the Mythic Utopia alive.” He smiled, his voice thick with killing intent.

  Then he also turned away.

  In just over ten seconds, all the people of the Sacred Palace had completely retreated.

  Following the retreat of the Sacred Palace, the various forces and sects hidden in the mountains also began to have some regret. They understood that if even the Sacred Palace had to return in low spirits, nobody else could touch the seven-color treasure location.

  As a result, the other forces also began to retreat.

  However, before leaving, those eyes once again darted over to the young and slender figure in the valley. They knew that after today, Zhou Yuan's name would be known throughout the various sects.

  Zhou Yuan, the Cangxuan Sect’s new Chosen.

  Chapter 626 Solely Occupying the Seven-Color Treasure Location

  As the people of various sects swiftly retreated, the tense atmosphere in the area faded, and the surging undercurrents disappeared.

  Chu Qing and Li Qingchan breathed a sigh of relief as they watched the people of Sacred Palace retreat. Although they had held the initiative, it would still be troublesome if they were to fight to the death with the Sacred Palace.

  But fortunately, given Jiang Taishen’s rationality, it was unlikely for him to do something like that.

  “Continue to defend the boundary,” Chu Qing said, looking over in Yaoyao’s direction.

  Although the Sacred Palace had retreated, they still couldn’t completely relax their vigilance. If someone were to sneak in, it would be extremely troublesome.

  Yaoyao clasped the Genesis Rune Brush, and a flicker of spirit light condensed at its tip. With a gentle shake, there was suddenly a number of Genesis Runes emerging, fusing with the boundary ahead.

  The boundary rippled, and the dazzling light grew a little duller.

  The boundary was temporarily in a defensive state, and the consumption of Genesis Qi was lessened, but it could still be immediately awakened if needed.

  Chu Qing and the other Chosen, upon seeing this scene, instantly left the boundary nodes and came to the valley mouth in a flash.

  With a dark face, Chi Lei of the Sacred Palace watched the numerous Cangxuan Sect Chosen arrive. He couldn’t help but panic a little, and he even retreated repeatedly.

  Chu Qing smiled at him and said, “Zhao Zhu, go and seal his Genesis Qi.”

  Zhao Zhu headed towards Chi Lei when he heard the order. The expression in Chi Lei’s eyes changed constantly, but under the watchful eyes of the countless Cangxuan Sect Chosen, he dared not fight back. He had no choice but to let Zhao Zhu temporarily seal his Genesis Qi.

  “If you work with us, we will release you once we have finished harvesting the seven-color treasure location. But if you try any tricks, don’t blame us for being ruthless,” Chu Qing warned.

  Although Chi Lei had become a hostage, Chu Qing also understood that they couldn’t do much to him because that would completely infuriate the Sacred Palace.

  Chi Lei’s face was dark, but he did not utter a word. He also understood that if he were to try something, it would be the same as asking for trouble. After all, no matter how many tricks he had up his sleeve, there was no way he could block so many Cangxuan Sect Chosen.

  Chi Lei turned away. He went far away and picked up Chai Ying, who was still unconscious. With frustration, he kicked Chai Ying to the side.

  After dealing with Chi Lei, Chu Qing and Li Qingchan turned to Zhou Yuan with a look of surprise in their eyes.

  “Junior brother Zhou Yuan, you’ve been hiding yourself deeply.” Chu Qing chuckled.

  Any ordinary Chosen would be afraid of the power that Zhou Yuan had used to crush Chai Ying’s golden black pill.

  “What did you use just now? How could you make your own Genesis Qi grow that strong? It doesn’t seem to be a Genesis technique from our Cangxuan Sect?” Kong Sheng asked, staring at Zhou Yuan.

  Zhou Yuan frowned, giving Kong Sheng a calm stare, and paid no more attention to him.

  But Li Qingchan moved her red lips and answered, “Senior brother Kong Sheng, every person has their own opportunities. Our Cangxuan Sect also has no rule that disciples must only cultivate the sect’s techniques.”

  The other Chosen also nodded.

  Kong Sheng flushed red with embarrassment. It was because he was very curious about the reason why Zhou Yuan could make his Genesis Qi skyrocket that he couldn’t help but ask. Evidently he went too far with the question.

  Feeling that the atmosphere was a little awkward, Chu Qing hurriedly smiled and remarked, “Junior brother Zhou Yuan, you can be considered famous after this.”

  Zhou Yuan had defeated Chai Ying in front of so many people. This was an amazing accomplishment. After today, there would be another person on the li
st of people of the Cangxuan Sect to be cautious about.

  Facing Chu Qing's teasing, Zhou Yuan smiled. “If senior brother Chu Qing and the others hadn’t obstructed the people of the Sacred Palace outside, how would I have had the opportunity to show off?”

  “There is no need to be modest. Your contribution this time isn’t small. If you hadn’t stood up then, it would have been difficult for us...” Chu Qing waved his hand repeatedly.

  If Zhou Yuan hadn’t come forward, then given Zhao Zhu’s strength, it was certainly impossible for him to counter two Chosen of the Sacred Palace, and he would have been defeated.

  And once Zhao Zhu was defeated, the situation for the Cangxuan Sect would be greatly weakened. At that time, Chu Qing also would have chosen to give in and allowed the Sacred Palace to take a huge bite of the seven-color treasure location, which they had discovered first.

  In truth this loss was not unacceptable, but the Cangxuan Sect's face...

  “Thanks to junior brother Zhou Yuan, our Cangxuan Sect can swallow the seven-color treasure location ourselves.” Chu Qing grinned and patted Zhou Yuan's shoulder. He then immediately stared into the depths of the valley with blazing eyes. “Come on, since the strong enemy has retreated, we can enter this seven-color treasure location and see what opportunity there is...”

  When this statement came out, the other Chosen’s eyes also lit up with excitement. The seven-color treasure location was abundant in treasure, but they originally thought that they could only make a rough sweep of the location because of the Sacred Palace’s interference. Unexpectedly, the Sacred Palace retreated and gave them enough time to completely hollow out the seven-color treasure location.

  So, the group of people left two Chosen to guard the outside while the rest, headed by Chu Qing, quickly plundered the resources in the valley.

  Zhou Yuan and Yaoyao were at the back of the group. She softly glanced at him, a subtle smile curving on her lips, and said in her clear voice, “You stole the limelight again.”

  She took a look at Zhou Yuan's palm. The others did not know what means Zhou Yuan had used in the battle, but she was very clear that it was the Genesis Rune that Zhou Yuan had obtained from the main peak of the Saint Genesis Peak, the Earth Saint Rune.

  Zhou Yuan let out a sigh, “There is still a gap in my Genesis Qi foundation compared to that of a Chosen.”

  He now had around ten thousand Genesis Qi stars condensed in his Qi Dwelling, but compared to Chai Ying, the gap was still huge. Moreover, he knew that Chai Ying was ranked last among the Sacred Palace Chosen.

  It was hard to imagine how strong the Genesis Qi foundation of a Chosen like Jin Chanzi would be.

  Yaoyao gave a faint smile, “You are only in the seventh level, if you make a breakthrough, your Genesis Qi will naturally rise rapidly.”

  She shifted her beautifully clear eyes to the entrance ahead that led into the seven-color treasure location, then continued, “The seven-color treasure location is quite extraordinary, if you were to obtain an opportunity inside, then perhaps it will help you break through.”

  Zhou Yuan nodded, his eyes blazing. It was precisely because of the golden pool water in the six-color treasure location that he could break through to the golden blood stage.

  The six-color treasure location also wasn’t ordinary at all; therefore, Zhou Yuan was very curious about what kind of opportunity would be inside this seven-color treasure location.

  Chapter 627 Swallow in One Mouthful

  The seven-color treasure land, located underground, was a huge maze-like cave.

  Chu Qing led Zhou Yuan and the others to enter the cave, and they saw multiple armoured lizard corpses strewn across the ground. It was evident that when Tuntun had led the many disciples of the Cangxuan Sect inside, they had gone through a brutal fight.

  Although the number of armoured lizards wasn’t small, with Tuntun as the leader, they obviously couldn’t create any obstacles for the disciples of the Cangxuan Sect.

  The numerous Chosen moved rapidly along the way, and in just over half an hour, they reached the deepest parts of the cave. They knew this because there was an outbreak of extremely violent Genesis Qi.

  There was clearly a fierce battle happening.

  Zhou Yuan and the others shifted their gazes to the commotion. In the huge cave, there were two tremendous figures in a fierce battle, and one was naturally Tuntun who had transformed into combat form.

  At this moment, its four hoofs were treading on Genesis Qi. It looked majestic, its body constantly exuding a mysterious and imposing aura.

  The huge monster in battle with Tuntun was a golden dragon lizard with dragon claws, and it was abnormally violent. As it clawed, it ripped marks in the air.

  Judging from the fluctuations of the Genesis Qi emitting from the dragon lizard’s body, its strength was clearly in no way weaker than that of any Chosen of the various sects.

  While Tuntun was battling the dragon lizard, the other disciples of the Cangxuan Sect were clearing away a vast number of armoured lizards. The air inside the whole huge cave was saturated with the stench of blood.

  “Let’s help clean up those armoured lizards first.” Chu Qing did not interfere in the battle between Tuntun and the dragon lizard, but he intended to first clean up the rest of the scene.

  Zhou Yuan and the others nodded before they darted over and landed in front of the armoured lizards that were endlessly coming forth.

  The strength of the majority of these armoured lizards was around the first level of the Alpha-Origin stage. Based on their numbers, they could match up to the numerous disciples of the Cangxuan Sect, but when the Chosen joined the battle, the situation instantly turned into a one-sided massacre.

  Every time a Chosen made a move, multiple armoured lizards were killed within seconds. In only a few minutes, the armoured lizards began to retreat from fear.

  It was at this time that Tang Muxin, Jin Zhang and the other chief disciples could catch their breaths, but when they saw that Chu Qing, Zhou Yuan and the others had come, they cried out in surprise, “You don’t need to take care of the outside?”

  Although they were in the middle of the treasure location, they could still imagine that there were undercurrents surging outside. They knew they couldn’t let their guards down.

  But now that even Chu Qing and the others had darted in, what was the situation? Had they lost control, so all the Chosen retreated into the treasure location to speed up the pace of their plundering?

  “Zhou Yuan had defeated the Sacred Palace’s Chai Ying, and the Sacred Palace retreated. This seven-color treasure location now belongs to our Cangxuan Sect,” Li Qingchan explained with a smile.

  Tang Muxin, Jin Zhang and Baili Che were all dumbstruck.

  The other disciples were also blankly staring at them.

  “Zhou Yuan defeated Chai Ying? How is that possible?!” Baili Che was the first to exclaim out loud. He was aware that Chai Ying was the youngest Chosen of the Sacred Palace and was said to have a boundless future.

  How could he be defeated by Zhou Yuan?

  But very soon, he quickly calmed down because his rationality told him that the Chosen would not joke around about such a matter. Knowing this, his gaze turned complex when it fell on Zhou Yuan.

  Half a year ago, he still somewhat looked down on Zhou Yuan and had even scoffed at Zhou Yuan's identity as a chief disciple.

  But he had most likely never thought that Zhou Yuan would exceed him just half a year later.

  Some time ago when Zhou Yuan broke the arm of the Sacred Palace’s Zhao Jing, Baili Chi already felt that Zhou Yuan had overtaken him. He had thought that this should be Zhou Yuan’s limit, but today, cruel reality showed itself once again.

  While Baili Chi was still trying his best to climb towards the position of Chosen, Zhou Yuan had already defeated a Chosen.

  Kong Sheng made a loud cough, breaking the shocked silence, and asked, “How is the situation here?”

  Tang Muxin withd
rew her beautiful eyes from Zhou Yuan and said in an excited voice, “We explored along the way and found that this seven-color treasure location is incredibly vast. We have found five caves that can be called six-color treasure locations. From them we discovered five broken mythic tokens and nine six-color Divine Establishing Treasures. Of course, there were several other Divine Establishing Treasures of different levels.

  “And because of time, we could only do a rough search.”

  Tang Muxin waved her beautiful hand and a light flashed before her. Everyone saw five flashing mythic tokens. But they were in the same condition as the one in Zhou Yuan’s hand, in a badly damaged state.

  In addition to the five broken tokens, there were prism-shaped gems the size of baby fists that were fluctuating with incredibly pure Genesis Qi.

  They were evidently all six-color Divine Establishing Treasures!

  Even Zhou Yuan couldn’t help but gasp in astonishment at the harvest, and the other Chosen all had blazing looks in their eyes.

  The seven-color treasure location was indeed worthy of its reputation.

  Looking at the treasures in front of him, Chu Qing pondered for a moment before he said, “Zhou Yuan made the greatest contribution in this seven-color treasure location. I suggest he gets a share of two of these five mythic tokens.”

  The other Chosen were silent for a moment, and then the majority nodded gently.

  If Zhou Yuan hadn’t helped out when Jiang Taishen unexpectedly sent Chai Ying and Chi Lei into the boundary, the current situation would most likely be very different.

  Based on contribution, Zhou Yuan’s was indeed the most obvious. Even Kong Sheng couldn’t say anything to this decision.

  When Chu Qing saw that there was no objection, he flicked his fingers, and two mythic tokens shot towards Zhou Yuan. “With these two combined with what you have originally, you should be able to refine them into a complete mythic token.”

  Zhou Yuan hurriedly received them. Clasping the two broken mythic tokens, a tide of excitement surged in his heart. With these items, when the final opportunity emerged, he would have the qualifications to come into contact with the mountain range’s greatest blessing.
