Dragon Prince Yuan c1-1251

  Having suppressed his excitement, Zhou Yuan’s eyebrows were again scrunched together in a frown, because he realised that he still hadn’t received any information about the fourth Saint Rune when he had obtained the Heavenly Punishment Saint Rune.

  “What’s going on?” Zhou Yuan sighed. How could he find the fourth Saint Rune without any clues?

  After a long period of deep thought, Zhou Yuan had no choice but to shake his head and give up for now. He then waved his robe, and the numerous Divine Establishing Treasures suddenly whizzed over like a tide. They were stored into the spatial bag at his waist.

  “The treasures of the jade disc are all in the bag. This trip is indeed worthwhile.”

  Zhou Yuan smiled and turned around. As the air rippled, his body gradually dissipated, and he stepped out of the jade disc.

  Chapter 660 Complete

  The moment Zhou Yuan’s figure was seen stepping out from the jade disc, the jade disc released a dazzling light and gradually melted under countless stunned gazes.

  In less than ten breaths, the jade disc vanished without a trace.

  Such a change immediately drew exclamations of surprise from countless people.

  Zhou Yuan also stared at the scene with a somewhat shocked expression. He thought that it must be because he had taken away the Divine Establishing Treasures inside, so the jade disc no longer had any meaning of existence.

  He turned his head and looked ahead. He found that Chu Qing, Li Qingchan, Yaoyao and the other Chosen had arrived at the location of the jade disc.

  The battle with the Sacred Palace had already completely ended?

  “Jiang Taishen has already led the Chosen of Sacred Palace away from the seventh peak.” Li Qingchan’s red lips opened a little while her beautiful eyes, glistening with amazement, were constantly studying Zhou Yuan.

  “Sacred Palace gave up?” Zhou Yuan was a little surprised.

  Li Qingchan smiled. “You had killed Jin Chanzi, and Yaoyao had severely wounded Zhan Taiqing. If Jiang Taishen continued to fight, their Sacred Palace would have suffered more injuries than us.”

  The other Chosen also all had strange expressions on their faces. Even if they had accepted the result, they still couldn’t help feeling a little shocked when they saw Zhou Yuan again.

  Jin Chanzi was ranked fifth on the Chosen List, which was higher than both Kong Sheng and Li Qingchan.

  The fact that Zhou Yuan could kill him suggested that his strength exceeded that of Kong Sheng and Li Qingchan.

  The numerous Chosen exchanged glances with one another. It seemed that after this, the ranking of Chosen in the Cangxuan Sect would be changed.

  “The jade disc is gone?” Kong Sheng looked at Zhou Yuan.

  “Don’t worry, everything has already been taken out.” Zhou Yuan turned to Chu Qing. “I found three eight-color Divine Establishing Treasures and dozens of seven-color Divine Establishing Treasures. There are even more of Divine Establishing Treasures of other grades.”

  He had no intention of hiding anything.

  This statement made the many Chosen present gasp in astonishment. Even Chu Qing rubbed his head in surprise.

  It should be said that they had worked for months, but not every Chosen had a seven-color Divine Establishing Treasure. But now, Zhou Yuan told them that there were dozens of seven-color Divine Establishing Treasure in the jade disc?!

  Just what did this mean?

  This meant that among the disciples of the Cangxuan Sect, there would be at least dozens of people who could establish seven heavens!

  In the past, even the ten great Chosen within the sect must wait a long period of time before they had a certain probability of achieving a seven heavens Divine Dwelling.

  Not to mention that...there were three eight-color Divine Establishing Treasures.

  It had been many years since anybody in the Cangxuan Sect could establish an eight heavens Divine Dwelling in the Diving Dwelling stage!

  “I have taken one of the three eight-color Divine Establishing Treasures,” Zhou Yuan said calmly.

  Everybody was taken aback, and even Kong Sheng and Zhao Zhu, who did not get along with Zhou Yuan, didn’t say anything. Everybody was well aware who contributed the most in the fight on the seventh peak.

  If Zhou Yuan and Yaoyao hadn’t defeated their respective opponents, then even if Chu Qing fought with his life he could only wound Jiang Taishen. If Zhou Yuan and Yaoyao were replaced with Kong Sheng and Li Qingchan, Kong Sheng and Li Qingchan would have most likely lost in the hands of Zhan Taiqing and Jin Chanzi.

  If that were the case, then perhaps it would have been the Cangxuan Sect who would have withdrawn from the seventh peak.

  So if Zhou Yuan wasn’t qualified to take one of the eight-color Divine Establishing Treasures, then no one would be qualified.

  Chu Qing grinned, revealing his white teeth. “That is something you have exchanged for with your life, no one can say anything.”

  “Thank you, senior brother.” Zhou Yuan laughed. “There are many people around, so I won’t take them out for now. Once the matter in the Mythic Utopia is over, I will bring them out.”

  Chu Qing and the others also nodded. All sects and factions of Cangxuan Heaven had gathered in the Mythic Utopia. If they were to know that so many high-grade Divine Establishing Treasures had appeared, it would no doubt attract jealousy, and the situation could change once again.

  “Our Cangxuan Sect has achieved our purpose in the Mythic Utopia. We can return once the results of the fight are out.”

  Chu Qing said, “The only regret I have is that I couldn’t test my golden shuttle against Jiang Taishen.”

  Li Qingchan shot him a glance. “Your golden shuttle hasn’t truly formed. You would waste all your previous efforts if you had brought it out. Also, it is impossible to kill Jiang Taishen with it.”

  Nobody could doubt Jiang Taishen’s strength since he could sit firmly in first place of the Chosen List. Chu Qing was indeed very strong, but if both sides were wounded in the end, Chu Qing’s injury would be more severe than Jiang Taishen’s.

  Hearing this, Zhou Yuan lifted his head to look at the other giant peaks. “Which peak did the Sacred Palace choose?”

  The remaining two jade discs containing eight-color Divine Establishing Treasures were eyed by the other four major sects. Thus, if the Sacred Palace wanted to snatch them they would have to fight against the other major sects.

  “It’s the peak that the Sword Seeker Sect and the North Sea Dragon Subduing Hall are competing for,” Ye Ge answered.

  Zhou Yuan looked over and indeed saw that the giant peak in the distance was extremely chaotic. With the addition of the Sacred Palace, three sects were gathered together in a fierce battle.

  “The Sword Seeker Sect’s Zong Ming is ranked fourth on the Chosen List, and Tang Xiao of the North Sea Dragon Subduing Hall is ranked seventh. Both are not easy to deal with. But even if they joined hands, they most likely wouldn’t be able to stop Jiang Taishen,” Chu Qing said nonchalantly.

  “If they choose to risk their lives to fight, then even if the Sacred Palace wins they will have to pay a great price,” Li Qingchan said.

  Chu Qing shook his head. “They will not fight to that point because then they may not have the qualification to compete for the other jade discs.”

  Just as Jiang Taishen did not choose to fight with them, Jiang Taishen also wanted a route of retreat, which was to compete for other jade discs after their failure.

  It was the same for the North Sea Dragon Subduing Hall and the Sword Seeker Sect. If they were to suffer too much damage, they wouldn’t have a chance to compete against other top sects.

  Zhou Yuan also gently nodded and said after a moment of hesitation, “Should we give them some trouble?”

  The grudges between the Sacred Palace and the Cangxuan Sect weren’t at all small. If they could make the Sacred Palace uncomfortable, they would feel comfortable.

  The other Chosen were tempted, but it w
as Chu Qing who shook his head and said, “Although the Sacred Palace lost two great battle assets, Jiang Taishen still isn’t easy to deal with. If he goes berserk, then someone among us Chosen could follow the footsteps of Jin Chanzi.”

  The numerous Chosen felt a chill run down their spine.

  Chu Qing laughed, “The loss that our Cangxuan Sect suffered this time is the smallest ever in the Mythic Utopia. Since I am the captain, the harvest is the second most important thing. My greatest wish is to be able to bring you all safe and sound back to the sect.”

  The others nodded gently.

  “But...” Chu Qing suddenly changed his tone of voice. “Although it won’t be good to provoke the Sacred Palace, we can change the target...

  “The Heavenly Ghost Sect and the Sacred Palace are quite close. When the Sacred Palace plotted against Yaoyao, they were also playing dirty tricks in the dark. We didn’t have the energy to deal with them before, but they are currently battling the Hundred Flowers Fairy Palace. We can help the Hundred Flowers Fairy Palace as revenge for them previously bullying our Cangxuan Sect, what do you think?”

  The other Chosen nodded in agreement. During the battle against the Sacred Palace, it was Chu Qing, Yaoyao and Zhou Yuan who had done most of the work. They also needed a target to vent.

  Zhou Yuan exchanged a glance with Yaoyao, who then turned to Chu Qing and remarked, “I didn’t expect you to exhibit behaviour befitting that of the first Chosen of the Cangxuan Sect.”

  Chu Qing’s smile stiffened. Was he that bad usually?

  Zhou Yuan also smiled and then shifted his gaze onto the place where the Heavenly Ghost Sect and the Hundred Flowers Fairy Palace were battling. His eyes turned chilling cold. Since the situation was like this, the Heavenly Ghost Sect could be considered a small addition to the trip to Mythic Utopia.

  And after completing this, the Cangxuan Sect’s trip to the Mythic Utopia could be considered a real success, right?

  Chapter 661 End

  The competition for the other six jade discs continued for around half a day until it gradually came to an end under countless unwilling gazes.

  The second jade disc that was home to eight-color Divine Establishing Treasures had expectedly fallen into the hands of Sacred Palace.

  Although the Sacred Palace had previously competed with the Cangxuan Sect, which led to Zhan Taiqing being badly wounded and the death of Jin Chanzi, the Sacred Palace was still terrifying because of the existence of Jiang Taishen.

  He vented his rage and frustration. The ferocity of the first-ranked person on the Chosen List was displayed fully without restraint. Even if Zong Ming of the Sword Seeker Sect and Tang Xiao of the North Sea Dragon Subduing Hall joined forces to fight the Sacred Palace, they ultimately were still defeated in the hands of Jiang Taishen.

  And the defeated Sword Seeker Sect and North Sea Dragon Subduing Hall had no choice but to give up and turn their focus onto other jade discs. The forces that competed for the jade discs were all top sects and factions of Cangxuan Heaven, but in the face of two powerful people, they had to helplessly hand over the jade disc after a long and bitter battle.

  As for the other jade disc that held Divine Establishing Treasures, it fell into the hands of the Hundred Flowers Fairy Palace.

  Of course, this was because of the Cangxuan Sect’s contribution.

  The strengths of the Hundred Flowers Fairy Palace and the Heavenly Ghost Sect were evenly matched. It was a bloody battle; many Chosen had fallen, and there were many tragically wounded on both sides. But when the Cangxuan Sect joined in, the balance between the two sides was suddenly broken.

  The Heavenly Ghost Sect was utterly defeated in the face of the joint forces of the Cangxuan Sect and the Hundred Flowers Fairy Palace.

  The head of the Heavenly Ghost Sect Chosen was called Zhao You, and he was ranked sixth on the Chosen List of the Shengzhou Continent. He was enraged by the Cangxuan Sect’s interference, but at the same time he also understood why the Cangxuan Sect would join hands with the Hundred Flowers Fairy Palace. It was to retaliate against the Heavenly Ghost Sect for previously cooperating with the Sacred Palace.

  Therefore, Zhao You had no choice but to silently swallow the humiliation.

  But in his heart he was inevitably cursing the Sacred Palace and Jiang Taishen. The reason he chose to help Sacred Palace was because he felt the Sacred Palace was stronger and that he could borrow the power of the Sacred Palace to help him.

  But who would have thought that the Sacred Palace would lose to the Cangxuan Sect? The Sacred Palace couldn’t even protect themselves, so how could they support the Heavenly Ghost Sect?

  In the end Zhao You had no choice but to give up. The remaining Heavenly Ghost Sect Chosen also turned to compete for another jade disc.

  In the end, six of the seven jade discs had fallen into the hands of the six major sects. The remaining one was left to the other forces. The battle on that jade peak was a bloodbath. The Chosen of various sects fought with everything they had; in the end it was unknown just how many people had died on that peak.

  But this was the cruelty of the Mythic Utopia. In order to compete for the great opportunity, lives were worthless, even those of Chosen.

  Watching the battle on the peak of the mountain, the other six major sects, including the Cangxuan Sect, did not intervene because they knew that the other sects were in a killing frenzy. If they were to intervene, it would only lead to attacks from all sides. The gains did not make up for the losses.

  Finally the killings came to an end, and the result was revealed. The final winner that remained standing was a top sect called the Violet Sun Palace. Although their strength couldn’t be compared to the six major sects, it was still a well-known sect in Cangxuan Heaven.

  When the Violet Sun Palace became the final winner and obtained the last jade disc, it signified the battle in the Mythic Utopia had finally come to an end.

  The stench of blood was permeating the air, and it had become a lot quieter than before. The various forces were like wolves after a vicious fight, filled with fatigue and crouched down licking their wounds.

  Standing on the peak of the mountain, Zhou Yuan gazed at the broken mountains with an incredibly calm expression. The way of cultivation had always been riddled with innumerable battles, and one often hovered between life and death. All these years of cultivation had made his mind incredibly steady, and he wouldn’t waver so easily.

  “When I return to the sect to refine and absorb the purest Genesis Qi contained in the Heavenly Punishment Saint Rune, I will be able to step into the ninth layer and reach the peak of the Alpha-Origin stage.”

  Zhou Yuan exhaled a long breath. It had been nearly two years since he had come to the Cangxuan Sect. When he had first arrived, he had just stepped into the Alpha-Origin stage.

  But now, he was about to reach the peak of the Alpha-Origin stage and would hopefully reach the Divine Dwelling stage very soon.

  When he left the Cangmang Continent and came to the Shengzhou Continent, what he sought was to possess the power to counter King Wu as quickly as possible.

  During this period, he did not know how many battles he had experienced, but he persisted no matter the difficulties he faced. Now, he wasn’t far from his goal.

  When he possessed the strength to fight King Wu, he would return to the Great Zhou and settle all grudges.

  “King Wu. You broke my father’s arm, destroyed my mother’s life, occupied the territory of my Great Zhou, killed my people, and took my Sacred Dragon Destiny.”

  Zhou Yuan gazed into the distance, scene after scene flashing through his mind. The root of all this was that King Wu had usurped the Great Zhou.

  From his very first memories, the Great Zhou had always been under the oppression of the Great Wu. It lingered on with its last breath of life. His father, who once had great ambition, was suppressed by reality, and the brilliance in the eyes was gradually erased.

  Zhou Yuan knew that his father had lost the c
onfidence to contend for supremacy with King Wu. Zhou Yuan also knew that his father must be extremely sad in the depths of his heart.

  In the face of a powerful enemy he could only endure silently and put all his hope on his only son.

  Zhou Yuan’s eyelids slightly drooped, eyes flashing coldly.

  Father, don’t worry. The debt that you couldn’t collect, I will personally help you with it. I will collect everything without fail!

  King Wu, just you wait!

  This day won’t be too far away!

  Buzz!

  The air above the peak suddenly vibrated like waves. The area of disturbance widened, and even space was gradually distorted.

  “We’ve contacted my peak master. She has located us and is currently tearing the space to form a passageway to bring us out.” Li Qingchan turned to the other disciples and said, “All disciples of the Cangxuan Sect, be ready to move!”

  “Yes!”

  Everybody responded in unison. Their eyes lit up with excitement. Their Cangxuan Sect had made a great harvest in their trip to the Mythic Utopia. More importantly, they had suppressed the Sacred Palace, which was simply exhilarating.

  Zhou Yuan looked around and saw that the other major sects were also communicating with the elders of their sect in the outside world. The space around them was similarly rippling.

  The trip of Mythic Utopia had come to an end.

  Buzz!

  The space’s rippling intensified until space suddenly tore apart, as if a fissure was forming. Majestic and boundless Genesis Qi was running through it, which stabilised the space and formed a passageway.

  “Disciples of the Cangxuan Sect, come out quickly.” There was an indistinct voice coming from the space channel. It was peak master Lianyi!

  “Go!”

  Li Qingchang roared and was the first to step out with Chu Qing. They disappeared in the blink of an eye, followed by many Cangxuan Sect disciples.
