Looking at the seven-color flame light hovering in front of him, the corners of his mouth suddenly twitched crazily.
Chapter 630 Worse
On the green peak.
Zhou Yuan was sitting cross-legged on a huge boulder, staring anxiously at the seven-color flame light floating in front of him. This was the seven-color Divine Establishing Treasure that they had obtained from the seven-color treasure location.
“Twelve six-color Divine Establishing Treasures...”
Zhou Yuan let out a long sigh. Although he finally got his hands on a seven-color Divine Establishing Treasure, which he had always hoped for, he also inexplicably had to shoulder a massive debt.
To get twelve six-color Divine Establishing Treasures was not that simple even in the vast Great Mythic Mountain Range. After all, six-color Divine Establishing Treasures could only be found in six-color treasure locations, but every time a six-color treasure location appeared, there would inevitably be a lot of competition. This would consume a lot of his time and energy.
“You have completed your goal of entering this Mythic Utopia, are you still not satisfied?” While Zhou Yuan was gazing helplessly into space, a playful voice sounded from behind.
Zhou Yuan turned his head to see Yaoyao coming over slowly holding Tuntun. He suddenly sulkily rolled his eyes. If Yaoyao hadn’t said anything, he had no intention of taking the seven-color Divine Establishing Treasure.
Yaoyao came to Zhou Yuan’s side and said, “Its a little troublesome to get twelve six-color Divine Establishing Treasures, but there’s only motivation when there’s pressure.”
Although she was speaking in a very serious tone of voice, Zhou Yuan clearly saw a trace of a smile in the depths of her eyes.
Zhou Yuan curled his lips, but did not say much. He knew that Yaoyao did it for his own good. After all, his initial goal of entering the Mythic Utopia was indeed to obtain a seven-color Divine Establishing Treasure. At least, he had achieved this.
It was just that...to pay back the debt of twelve six-color Divine Establishing Treasures would take him some time.
“Here.” Yaoyao stretched out her beautiful hand. It radiated a bright luster, and then three balls of dazzling light emerged, all exuding powerful surging Genesis Qi. It was three six-color Divine Establishing Treasures.
“That's what Tuntun and I got during this period of time. If you add these to the one you have, that's four already.”
Zhou Yuan’s eyes lit up, but there weren’t any dramatic feelings. After all, the relationship between Yaoyao and Zhou Yuan did not need such things. If Yaoyao needed a seven-color Divine Establishing Treasure, he would also give it to her without the slightest hesitation.
Yaoyao stood tall, her waist slender as a willow, her beautiful eyes peering at the depths of the Great Mythic Mountain Range. She said slowly, “The super boundary in the Great Mythic Mountain Range is being destroyed in various areas, and if my prediction is right, the great opportunity hidden till last will emerge soon.”
Zhou Yuan narrowed his eyes. He was naturally extremely curious and looked forward to this great opportunity.
“The third Saint Rune is also said to be in this Mythic Utopia, but I didn’t see any clues along the way. I don’t know where it is, or how we can find it,” Zhou Yuan said.
When he had obtained the Earth Saint Rune, it seemed that from the clues the third Saint Rune should exist in this Mythic Utopia.
And after learning about the power of the Earth Saint Rune, Zhou Yuan thoroughly understood that the four Saint Runes, which were stripped off from the Cangxuan Saint Stamp, were incredibly powerful. But he currently only had superficial knowledge regarding the uses of both the Decoder Saint Rune and Earth Saint Rune.
But even so, these two Saint Runes had become Zhou Yuan's ace up his sleeve.
Therefore, Zhou Yuan was also incomparably full of anticipation towards the third Saint Rune.
The Mythic Utopia rarely opened. If he couldn’t get it this time, then it was unknown when his next chance would be.
“When the last big opportunity emerges, there most likely will be a real battle.” Yaoyao sat gracefully on the side, leaning gently against a green pine. She said this while resting her chin on her beautiful hand.
She swept a glance over Zhou Yuan. “With your present strength, you had to use all your effort to defeat the Chosen ranked last in the Sacred Palace. If you were to encounter the top Chosen of other sects, then your chances of winning wouldn’t be high.”
Zhou Yuan nodded. “So for the rest of the time here, I'm going to try to make a breakthrough.”
He lifted his palms, and two seven-color flame lotus seeds emerged, emitting extremely pure Genesis Qi as they filled the air with an unusual aroma.
They were the flame lotus seeds he had obtained in the seven-color treasure location.
Yaoyao cast her beautiful eyes over and said faintly, “Flame lotus seeds are good for one’s cultivation, but with just these two alone, you most likely won't be able to make a successful breakthrough.”
Zhou Yuan helplessly scratched his head. He also knew that two flame lotus seeds weren’t enough, but he had to give it a try.
While Zhou Yuan didn’t know what to do, Yaoyao once again stretched out her little hand before him.
Eight crystal-clear lotus seeds were suspended above her hand, radiating a seven-color luster.
“This...” Zhou Yuan looked surprised at Yaoyao.
“It's the two that I got before. You also know that I won’t have much use for these objects. The other two were Tuntun’s,” Yaoyao said with a faint smile.
Tuntun, who was in Yaoyao’s arms, let out a grunt.
“Tuntun’s too?” Zhou Yuan felt somewhat embarrassed. Tuntun clearly had great interest in the seven-color lotus seeds, and the only reason it handed it out was most likely because of its fear of Yaoyao.
“Tuntun is just greedy. It would have limited effect on it.” Yaoyao lifted Tuntun up, blinking her beautiful eyes, and asked in a gentle tone, “Tuntun, isn’t that right?”
Tuntun could feel its hair standing on end after seeing Yaoyao smile and look at it like that. It covered its eyes with its claws and made a slight noise of agreement.
“What about the other four?” Zhou Yuan asked puzzledly.
“Of course, I exchanged it from Li Qingchan. I did so in your name.” Yaoyao smiled.
Zhou Yuan was taken aback.
A bad feeling suddenly came to his heart. “What do you mean?”
“Four six-color Divine Establishing Treasures can be exchanged for one seven-color lotus seed...I gave you four. That means that when you pay back the debt, you need to repay sixteen plus the previous twelve. So that’s a total of twenty eight six-color Divine Establishing Treasures, or two seven-color Divine Establishing Treasures,” Yaoyao seriously explained.
Zhou Yuan stared at her blankly. He felt everything before him darken. He had yet to start repaying his debt, but it had already doubled.
Watching Zhou Yuan’s face turn pale, Yaoyao said sincerely, “Sharpening the axe will not interfere with the cutting of firewood. You need to improve your strength to be eligible to compete.”
Zhou Yuan felt his mouth and tongue go dry and then pitifully glanced at Tuntun. In their minds, Yaoyao was the real little devil king. Her words had enormous weight, and she did whatever she said. They both had no qualifications to oppose her.
Having accepted his situation, Zhou Yuan uttered with a melancholic voice, “Fine. When the debt is too much, one will stop worrying about it.”
No matter what, he was going to deal with it once he made a breakthrough to the eighth layer.
Yaoyao nodded as though saying ‘that’s a good boy’.
“Right, your Omega Saint Spirit Art isn’t really completed, is it?” Yaoyao suddenly asked.
Zhou Yuan nodded. His Omega Saint Spirit Art could only be considered as semi-finished and not truly mastered. There were still nine principal beast spirits that
hadn’t been integrated.
But how could it be easy to integrate the nine principal beast spirits?
The nine principal beast spirits were extremely violent. Even the slightest of carelessness could destroy the Saint Spirit Seed that he had initially cultivated, so Zhou Yuan had always been afraid to act recklessly.
Yaoyao nodded, and then, with a clench of her hand, a jade bottle flashed out. The jade bottle was half-filled with blood flashing with a golden color, and there seemed to vaguely be an invisible oppressive force spreading out.
“Next time you integrate them, refine this object to use the power of a saint beast to deter the principal beast spirits. It will go a lot better,” Yaoyao said.
Zhou Yuan curiously received the jade bottle. He studied the very unusual blood and asked thoughtfully, “This blood, why does it look a little familiar?”
After a few seconds, he turned to Tuntun, who was weakly lying at Yaoyao’s long legs. The beast looked like it had nothing left to live for.
Yaoyao responded indifferently, “This is Tuntun’s blood. I was afraid it couldn’t withstand it if I were to take too much at once, so I did it over a period of two months, taking a little every day, and finally got this much.”
Zhou Yuan was speechless. He then turned to Tuntun and sighed.
Brother, so it was you.
With the seven-color lotus seeds as well as Tuntun’s blood, it seemed that he would need to cultivate in seclusion. He needed to make his final preparations for the great opportunity that would soon appear…
Chapter 631 Trap
Just as Zhou Yuan began his secluded cultivation, the tremendous natural boundary in the depths of the Great Mythic Mountain Range, along with numerous nodes, was being destroyed by different sects. More and more treasure locations also appeared, including even seven-color treasure locations.
Each and every sect was aware of the present situation: the tremendous boundary would not be able to last much longer. The great opportunity hidden in the depths was about to emerge.
And because of the constant emergence of treasure locations, the people of the Cangxuan Sect also became very busy. They constantly sent people out to seize the treasure locations. After all, no matter how many treasure locations there were, it wouldn’t be more than the number of sects currently in the Great Mythic Mountain Range. In a situation like this where there was not enough to go around, if they did not send people out to defend, it would inevitably cause greed to arise.
In front of the bamboo house at the peak of the mountain.
Yaoyao was slowly walking over, her body delicate and slender, her skin white as snow. Her stunningly beautiful face made many male disciples of the Cangxuan Sect cast furtive glances her way, but because of her aloof demeanor, no one dared to talk to her.
“Yaoyao?” Li Qingchan came out of the bamboo house and was surprised to see Yaoyao. “You completed the mission?”
In the past few days, Yaoyao had been actively taking on tasks of defending treasure locations. That kind of initiative was completely different from her usual attitude.
Yaoyao nodded. She had a very good opinion of Li Qingchan, so a shallow smile came to her indifferent and beautiful face.
“Are there more six-color treasure locations?” Yaoyao asked.
Li Qingchan said with surprise, “You’ve only just returned, don't you plan to rest for a bit?”
Yaoyao shook her head.
Li Qingchan glanced in the direction of the back of the mountain, pursed her little red lips and asked, “Is that boy worth you working so hard?”
How could she not know that the reason Yaoyao acted differently from her usual self and actively asked to defend treasure locations was to help Zhou Yuan repay his huge debt?
But Zhou Yuan took the treasures and went into seclusion to cultivate, leaving Yaoyao to help him pay his debts!
Thinking of this, Li Qingchan simply felt indignant for Yaoyao. She was such an outstanding talent, so what sort of charm did Zhou Yuan have that would make Yaoyao, who never cared about other things, look favourably at him?
“This is to prevent him from saying that I dug a trap for him.” Thinking of Zhou Yuan’s face when he heard about the tremendous debt, Yaoyao couldn’t help curving her red lips into a smile.
Li Qingchan helplessly shook her head. “Recently, although a number of treasure locations have appeared, other Chosen have also taken action, and there aren’t many left.”
Li Qingchan took out a jade scroll and instilled Genesis Qi into it. It radiated a dazzling light, forming a map. Li Qingchan studied it for a good while before she pointed to a spot of light. “This is a six-color treasure location that only recently appeared, but it’s not within the range of our Cangxuan Sect. It is relatively close to the Heavenly Ghost Sect, but there are also some treasure locations that have appeared near them. For now, nobody will be paying attention to this area.
“So if you arrive quickly and get rid of the guardian beast inside, you should be able to obtain the Divine Establishing Treasure and retreat safely.”
Yaoyao peered at the map, memorized the direction and position, then nodded. “Then here it is. I’ll go now.” She nodded to Li Qingchan, before she turned around and disappeared.
Watching her beautiful shadow rapidly departing, Li Qingchan returned her gaze to the back of the mountain again. She couldn’t help but mutter to herself, “That boy Zhou Yuan, how is he so lucky?”
Then she quickly turned back onto the map in front of her, staring at the spot of light. Her brows were scrunched together, and she mumbled to herself in puzzlement.
“Why wasn’t there any news about this treasure location before?”
A barren mountain range.
Yaoyao’s figure descended from the sky, landing on the tip of a green pine tree. Her eyes were fixed on a barren mountain, which was where the six-color treasure location was.
This area was not within the range of any sect or force because it was a barren area, so nobody had expected a six-color treasure location to show up here.
Yaoyao observed the area for a while before she drifted out and directly landed on the barren mountain.
Her figure marched straight into the mountains.
Before she walked a few steps, however, she knitted her long, shapely brow because the ground was quaking and a gush of bizarre energy was being emitted from the mountain.
Amidst the strange fluctuation of energy, Yaoyao came to discover that even her Spirit seemed to be suppressed.
Yaoyao lifted her pretty face only to see a light barrier appearing across the sky, shrouding the barren mountain. On the ground, there was dark green qi rising into the air.
It was highly toxic.
Yaoyao gazed without expression at the sight.
This six-color treasure location was a trap.
Her beautiful eyes flickered. She knew that this trap was most likely connected to the Sacred Palace. It seemed that someone had been secretly watching her recent whereabouts. Could this be part of the revenge that the Sacred Palace planned for losing control of the seven-color treasure location?
And for this goal, they had chosen her?
Outside the barren mountains.
On a hilltop, two figures flashed out. One was clad in a silver robe and the other in a black robe. Both were emitting incredibly strong surging Genesis Qi.
On their robes was the pattern of the Sacred Palace.
They were two Chosen of the Sacred Palace.
The one in a silver robe was Lei Jun, and the black robed man was called Tie Mo.
The two were both ranked higher than Chai Ying among the Sacred Palace Chosen.
At this very moment, the two men were peering at the barren mountains, remarking coldly, “I did not think it would be as our senior brother predicted: that the Cangxuan Sect would send someone here.”
“Most likely, the people of the Cangxuan Sect never thought there was anything unusual about this six-color treasure location. Within
this mountain, there are Spirit suppression rocks everywhere, which can suppress one’s Spirit. That Zhou Xiaoyao has incredibly weak Genesis Qi and only relies on the strength of the Spirit. Now that she has stepped into this location, she most likely won’t last long in the toxic qi.”
“The toxic qi inside was set up by senior brother Jin Chanzi, who was born with toxic blood. Even Chosen can’t purify the poison once infected. That Zhou Xiaoyao will no doubt die.”
“The Cangxuan Sect will realise it very soon, right? If they send Chosen here, with just the two of us, we can't last for long.” The Chosen called Tie Mo frowned.
“Our senior brother and the others naturally won’t let the other Cangxuan Sect Chosen intervene.” Lei Jun smiled.
“That’s good.”
Tie Mo nodded. Gazing at the barren mountains, a sinister smile twisted on his lips. “It is a pity that such a beauty is going to fall like that.”
“Haha, do they really think our Sacred Palace is easy to bully? The Cangxuan Sect damaged the face of our Sacred Palace, and if we do not get payback, other people would really think that our Sacred Palace’s title of the strongest sect is a lie!”
“She can only be considered as having bad luck to meet a mountain that suppresses the Spirit.”
“Let’s see how the Cangxuan Sect is going to deal with this.”
Chapter 632 Revenge of Sacred Palace
As the sun set, its afterglow shone across the earth.
Li Qingchan resided at the headquarters of the Cangxuan Sect in order to manage everyone. She was standing on the peak of the mountain, her long eyebrows slightly knitted as she peered into the distance. She muttered in a puzzled voice, “Why isn’t Yaoyao back yet?”
Given Yaoyao’s strength, it shouldn’t be that difficult for her to explore and fight over a six-color treasure location. Based on her speed in the past, she should have returned in half a day’s time.
“Could she be delayed by something?” Li Qingchan said to herself, but she did not think that anything would happen to Yaoyao. After all, although Yaoyao had weak Genesis Qi, her Spirit was incredibly powerful, stronger than that of any Chosen.
