Dragon Prince Yuan c1-1251

by Translator: Yeow

  The cobweb spread all over his upper body, and each connection was very clever. Although it looked extremely fragile and didn’t seem to have any defense or attack power, Zhou Yuan knew that if he was in the Four Spirits Origin Tower, there would be cobwebs stuck inside his body once this Genesis Rune penetrated his body.

  “What a marvelous Genesis Rune.” Zhou Yuan marveled as he observed with his Spirit and nodded repeatedly.

  The Mark Capturing Rune appeared simple but was in fact very complicated because the veins were changing constantly, which was also the main reason why it was difficult to reproduce.

  Moreover, Zhou Yuan keenly felt that he needed to use some kind of special material as the medium to engrave the Mark Capturing Rune, but he couldn’t figure out the specific materials. This was presumably the Fire Pavilion’s biggest secret.

  If he was to reproduce the Mark Capturing Rune, he had to figure out what the materials were, and that was obviously not an easy thing to do.

  Moreover, the Mark Capturing Rune was so fragile it would crumble with the slightest touch. This was the reason why Zhou Yuan couldn’t let his Spirit penetrate it directly for observation.

  After an hour, Zhou Yuan retracted his Spirit and saw that the Mark Capturing Rune had gradually faded from his chest.

  Zhou Yuan’s face took on a thoughtful expression. In truth, the principles of the Mark Capturing Rune weren’t particularly complex, but some of the key areas were indeed difficult to figure out, such as the special materials contained.

  Therefore the difficulty in reproducing it was quite high.

  “Since it is impossible to reproduce, I’ll create one myself!” Zhou Yuan coldly snorted. Before his eight meridians were opened, he had practiced Genesis Runes as his main skill. And even if he had begun to practice Genesis Qi, he still hadn’t let go of his cultivation of Genesis Runes.

  Adding to this, because Yaoyao, a Genesis Rune master, was always around him, his mastery in Genesis Runes had constantly deepened.

  Since someone of the Fire Pavilion with a Spirit of the Transformative stage could produce the Mark Capturing Rune, he believed he could also do the same.

  However, thinking of Yaoyao, Zhou Yuan’s eyes suddenly dimmed a little. If she were around, they could have solved the Mark Capturing Rune within minutes.

  “Yaoyao, wait for me, I’m trying my best. I’m working hard to get the Ancestral Dragon Lantern and the ancestral dragon blood and flesh so that you can recover,” Zhou Yuan whispered to himself, his hands uncontrollably clenching tight. He really missed the days when Yaoyao and Tuntun were always beside him.

  Compared with those times, he was indeed a little lonely by himself in Hunyuan Heaven.

  But Zhou Yuan wasn’t a person who would be immersed in the past. He took a deep breath and suppressed the emotions in his heart. Since he couldn’t return to his previous life, he had to continue to work hard, rather than meaninglessly fantasising here.

  Zhou Yuan gradually closed his eyes, and the Spirit between his eyebrows began to flash again. He intended to try the deriving method to see if he could create a Genesis Rune with a similar effect to the Mark Capturing Rune.

  Zhou Yuan went into secluded cultivation and didn’t appear for three days.

  And in these three days, the matter of the Mark Capturing Rune had caused a lot of storm. In order to calm the situation down, Ye Bingling almost had no time to train in the wind district. But even so, it wasn’t of much use because origin coins were too important and the three years time limit meant that many people couldn’t afford to waste any time.

  Some people who originally supported Ye Bingling were starting to waver.

  For this reason, Ye Bingling was exhausted and could only listen to the bad news that was constantly being reported.

  While Ye Bingling, Yi Qiushui and the others were having a headache because of this matter, Chen Beifeng was grinning in another little building of the Wind Pavilion. Standing in front of the railing, he scanned over the members of the Wind Pavilion who had come to purchase the Mark Capturing Rune. Many of them were once Ye Bingling’s supporters.

  It was clear that there weren’t any supporters who could resist the temptation of origin coins.

  “Brother Chen, in these three days, almost half of the people on Ye Bingling’s side have left,” Jin Teng exclaimed joyfully.

  Chen Beifeng smiled. “As time goes on, there will most likely only be two or three wild cats left on her side.

  “After I defeat her at the pavilion master selection, I will like to see whether the ice beauty will surrender or not!”

  He was in high spirits, and the embarrassment he felt before because of Zhou Yuan had vanished.

  “By the way, where’s Zhou Yuan?” Chen Beifeng suddenly asked.

  Jin Teng grinned. “I heard that he has been hiding in a building for several days and hasn’t appeared once. He must have no face to show up. After all, this situation is now a mess. It will be better to pretend to know nothing and hide.”

  “Ye Bingling is really blind to support him so much.”

  Chen Beifeng shook his head, saying disdainfully, “That wretch who doesn’t know the immensity of the sky has finally realised that he has kicked an iron plate? Hmph, it’s too late now!

  “Ignore him for now. When I become the pavilion master, I will find a way to remove him from the deputy pavilion master position. He had offended and angered me, Chen Beifeng. He thinks the deputy pavilion master identity can protect him?”

  “Then congratulations to the new pavilion master in advance.” Jin Teng smiled, his eyes flashing with hatred.

  When that guy loses the position of deputy pavilion master, I will be sure to humiliate him properly.

  “Continue to advertise the Mark Capturing Rune. Let’s see how many more days they can hold on.” Chen Beifeng clapped Jin Teng on the shoulder and then turned into a building.

  When Zhou Yuan’s attempts at deriving the Mark Capturing Rune reached the fifth day, his closed eyes finally slowly opened.

  From his eyes,rays of divine light burst forth.

  Chapter 806 Divine Light

  When the divine light surged in Zhou Yuan’s eyes, he shook his palm, and the Heavenly Yuan Brush appeared in his hand. With a slight flick of the snowy white tip, it outlined the air in front of him at lightning speed.

  Where the tip of the brush past, mysterious Genesis marks formed.

  These Genesis marks intertwined, and they linked or combined together. In the blink of an eye, thousands of changes occurred.

  Countless traces of Genesis marks gathered gradually, as though forming a mysterious painting in front of Zhou Yuan. At this moment he was like a painter, constantly repairing flaws to create a complete drawing.

  Zhou Yuan’s eyes were extremely focused. The Heavenly Yuan Brush in his hand brought up blurred images as it swiftly moved but sometimes froze. It was only after a long while did he slowly drop his brush. With great difficulty, a mysterious Genesis mark was outlined.

  Half a day passed by very quickly. Beads of sweat constantly surfaced on Zhou Yuan’s forehead, and countless Genesis marks reflected in his eyes. His Spirit power was activated to its peak, continuously carrying out derivations.

  Zhou Yuan’s Heavenly Yuan brush finally stopped.

  He gasped heavily.

  He gazed at the void in front where a light rune of around half a foot was suspended in the air. The light rune was obscure and complex, and each veined pattern was formed from countless Genesis marks.

  It was a Genesis Rune prototype and the result of Zhou Yuan’s derivations over the past few days.

  “This Genesis Rune is just a shell, but it is a little more marvelous than the Mark Capturing Rune,” Zhou Yuan muttered, his voice slightly proud because he had confidence in his mastery of Genesis Runes.

  After all, he had gone through Yaoyao’s strict supervision!

  “But…”

  Zhou Yuan knit his brows into a frown. The structur
e of the Genesis Rune had been formed, but it still lacked a core, the most important part of the rune and the most difficult requirement to fulfill.

  For example, the core of the Mark Capturing Rune was a mysterious material that the Fire Pavilion was extremely secretive about. Only by using this material as the core could the Genesis Rune ultimately have an effect.

  Since Zhou Yuan didn’t know what the core of the Fire Pavilion’s Mark Capturing Rune was, he had to find a substitute, but it was also the most difficult task to accomplish. In order to figure out what wonderful object could capture Genesis marks, the Fire Pavilion had to have gone through countless trials to complete the Mark Capturing Rune.

  “But I don’t have that much time…” Zhou Yuan scrunched his brows. Given the present situation, the longer time was dragged on, the stronger Chen Beifeng would grow.

  The function of the Mark Capturing Rune was similar to a spider web. It had a mysterious gluing strength that had an effect on Genesis marks drifting along the astral spirit wind. What special materials could affect Genesis marks?

  Several different materials flashed across Zhou Yuan’s mind, but in the end they were all thrown out because they weren’t suitable.

  Time flashed by. The night sky shrouded the earth.

  Zhou Yuan was still sitting on the bed with bloodshot eyes, constantly muttering to himself.

  In the end, he sighed with disappointment and fell powerlessly on the bed. He had derived a new structure for the Genesis Rune but had been stopped at the problem of a lack of core materials. At this time he truly felt exhausted. It was no wonder that the Mark Capturing Rune could dominate the four pavilions. It was indeed unique.

  “If I can’t figure it out, I can only wait until next month to defeat Chen Beifeng…”

  Zhou Yuan pursed his lips. He didn’t believe that Chen Beifeng would still dare to leap after he beat him.

  It was just that if he couldn’t solve the problem of the Mark Capturing Rune, even if he became the pavilion master, he would still suffer some constraints. And there was a possibility that Wang Chen would directly block the sale of Mark Capturing Runes to the Wind Pavilion if Zhou Yuan became the pavilion master. At that time the members of the Wind Pavilion would no doubt be unhappy with him.

  Zhou Yuan felt a little suffocated when he thought of this. The feeling of having his throat choked by others was really uncomfortable.

  After all, he couldn’t always ask senior sister Chi Jing for help, right?

  Zhou Yuan sat up and gritted his teeth. He closed his eyes and operated the Primal Chaos Divine Grindstone Visualization Method to restore his consumed Spirit power. He intended to continue into the night!

  Boom!

  When the divine grindstone in his mind rotated, mysterious roars echoed.

  Zhou Yuan’s Spirit stood before the divine grindstone, peering up at the huge divine grindstone. As the divine grindstone crushed down, Zhou Yuan felt a beam of light flashing in his heart.

  PA!

  The whole bed collapsed.

  But Zhou Yuan’s eyes were blazing with joy because he had caught the divine light!

  This is…the wind spirit rune’s mother body engraved in the depths of the wind layer in the wind district!

  The Genesis marks contained in the astral spirit wind were all reproduced from the mother body of the wind spirit rune. The relationship between the two was like a mother and a child. There was a very mysterious connection and attraction between the two. If…if he could copy a trace of the aura of the wind spirit rune’s mother body and use it as the core of his new Genesis Rune, once activated, it would inevitably form a great attraction to the wind spirit rune’s Genesis marks!

  And that effect would definitely be stronger than the Mark Capturing Rune’s!

  This was because the Mark Capturing Rune was only passively waiting for Genesis marks to come and adhere to it by luck. But with the aura of the wind spirit rune’s mother body, the Genesis marks would inevitably be drawn to it like a moth to a flame!

  One was passive, the other active!

  In the world, there was no other material that could attract Genesis marks of the wind spirit rune better than the aura of the wind spirit rune’s mother body!

  “Found it!”

  Zhou Yuan did not stop trembling. “This is it! This is it!”

  Zhou Yuan lifted his head and laughed. The next moment he transformed into a beam of flowing light, left Wind Island and came to the wind district.

  He couldn’t wait to test its effect.

  After entering the wind district, Zhou Yuan again operated the Primal Chaos Divine Grindstone Visualization Method. Not to his surprise, when the rumbling noise sounded, there was a response from the outside world. It was the mottled divine grindstone behind the wind layer.

  A light glowed between Zhou Yuan’s eyebrows as his Spirit shot out and transformed into an invisible ball of light. It rapidly soared into the air and came to just below the wind layer.

  The wind layer started to swirl, forming a small wind tunnel.

  “Thank you, elder divine grindstone.”

  Zhou Yuan’s Spirit slightly hesitated before it quickly entered the wind tunnel. As he passed the wind layer, the emptiness and chaotic space came into view. Within the chaos was the mottled divine grindstone that seemed to have existed since ancient times.

  The azure ancient Genesis Rune engraved on the mottled divine grindstone immediately caught Zhou Yuan’s eyes. It was the mother body of the wind spirit rune!

  Chapter 807 Mother Wind Rune

  Zhou Yuan intently stared at the wind spirit rune’s mother body, which was exuding a very ancient aura. It was only after a good while that he gradually calmed down. He then sent out a request through his Spirit to the mottled divine grindstone. After all, the wind spirit rune’s mother body existed above the divine grindstone. Without the divine grindstone’s permission, his Spirit would be crushed if it dared to approach.

  After receiving Zhou Yuan’s request, the divine grindstone didn’t refuse. As long as it didn’t touch on the question of principle, it generally wouldn’t refuse Zhou Yuan’s requests, because this was an order left by Cang Yuan when he had created it.

  In a sense, anyone who had practiced the Primal Chaos Divine Grindstone Visualization Method had the power to control it, but Zhou Yuan was now still too weak to do so. It was currently impossible for him.

  When the divine grindstone allowed Zhou Yuan’s request, he immediately sat down happily. Then, his Spirit power gradually approached the mottled divine grindstone.

  As his Spirit power drew closer, Zhou Yuan could feel the terrifying oppressive power brought about by the divine grindstone. Even though the grindstone had deliberately reduced the pressure, it still made Zhou Yuan’s Spirit power tremble violently. It was as if his Spirit was about to fade.

  Fortunately, Zhou Yuan forcibly withstood its oppressive power, and his Spirit power eventually approached the wind spirit rune’s mother body.

  With his Spirit power, he hovered around the mother body of the wind spirit rune, feeling its mysterious pulsing aura.

  This aura was a bit similar to the Genesis marks’ of the wind spirit rune but much more vast.

  Zhou Yuan’s Spirit power settled on top of the wind spirit rune’s mother body, constantly familiarizing itself with the mother body’s aura and operating marks. After almost half an hour, he finally withdrew his Spirit power.

  Zhou Yuan’s face took on a thoughtful expression. He stretched out his finger and trailed it across the air. Countless Genesis marks gushed out, gradually forming a complex and obscure Genesis Rune in the air. It was the Genesis Rune structure that he had spent a lot of time deriving. But because of the lack of a core material, the Genesis Rune remained lifeless.

  Zhou Yuan began to copy the aura of the wind spirit rune’s mother body. Zhou Yuan’s Spirit suddenly surged, and his Spirit power rapidly gathered in front of him.

  At the beginning, the copying consi
stently failed, but as he continued to fail, he became increasingly skilled at trying to copy it. After all, the body was in front of his eyes and he could correct the errors at any time.

  It was unknown how many failures happened before a subtle aura copied by his Spirit finally appeared in front of Zhou Yuan.

  The moment a wisp of aura appeared in front of Zhou Yuan, he distinctly saw a faint light bloom from the wind spirit rune’s mother body above the mottled divine grindstone.

  “Success!”

  Zhou Yuan was overjoyed, but he remained calm and focused. With a thought, the wisp of aura hovering in front of him drifted towards one of the Genesis Rune shells and landed in the most core area and settled itself in.

  Buzz!

  The moment it started to flow, the lifeless Genesis Rune immediately erupted in dazzling rays of light, as if it had been resurrected.

  Zhou Yuan operated his Spirit to slowly compress the Genesis Rune, and he eventually shrank it to the size of a fist. He quickly took out a blank jade bamboo slip and engraved the fist-sized Genesis Rune onto it.

  The new Genesis Rune that he had created finally formed!

  “Finally succeeded…” Zhou Yuan’s face flushed with excitement. Immediately, his Spirit rolled up the jade bamboo slip, pierced through the wind layer and returned to the main body.

  “Let’s give it a test run!”

  Zhou Yuan rummaged through his spatial bag for a good while before finally finding a pitiful origin coin in a dark corner. It had to have been forgotten about.

  “I am so poor already?” Zhou Yuan muttered, took it out and then quickly burned it.

  As the last origin coin was burned, an azure wind whizzed down from the sky.

  Zhou Yuan quickly shattered the jade bamboo slip to pieces. Rays of light surged, and a Genesis Rune appeared on his chest. It wasn’t a net pattern like the Mark Capturing Rune, but it resembled a small vortex…

  The astral spirit wind shrouded the area, and slashed his body like a blade.

  Zhou Yuan’s concentrated intently.
