Chapter 3862: Chapter 3862: A Bad Premonition! (Sixth Update)
...
Ye Chen gently exhaled a breath of dense energy, retreating from his contemplation, and addressed Xuan Han Yu: "Fairy Xuan, I have mostly understood the Hundred Evil Blood Refinement Technique. Is it possible to begin cultivation? However, less than a month remains until the three-month deadline—can I refine the Hundred Evil Blood Refinement Technique before then?"
Even if achieving perfection is not possible, at the very least, reaching the entry-level is necessary. Once entering the realm, possessing the Hundred Evil Body, Ye Chen’s trump cards will increase by one!
Xuan Han Yu suddenly smiled and said: "Under normal circumstances, even if you refine a Golden Witch Body Refining Pill with pill patterns, it would be difficult to achieve the entry-level realm of the Hundred Evil Blood Refinement Technique in such a short time. However, if you go there, there might be a chance..."
Ye Chen’s interest perked up: "Where is ’there’?"
Xuan Han Yu replied: "Your luck has always been good. Cultivating the Hundred Evil Blood Refinement Technique requires a large amount of Yin Death Energy and necrotic energies, and don’t you just happen to know a place brimming with such energies?"
Ye Chen’s eyes suddenly brightened: "The Earth Palace within the Ten Thousand Destruction Forest!"
Xuan Han Yu said: "That’s correct. If you go there, in a short period, you might be able to cultivate the Hundred Evil Blood Refinement Technique to the initial success stage!"
Ye Chen’s expression gradually grew excited. With a swift movement, he appeared in the grand hall, where Gu Xuan and Elder Tiandan were engaged in conversation.
Originally, there was some tension between Elder Tiandan and Gu Xuan, but upon believing he had deduced Ye Chen’s reasons for approaching Gu Xuan, Elder Tiandan became considerably more amicable towards Gu Xuan. Elder Tiandan thought that the Saint Master’s approach to the Gu Family’s plan must not encounter any obstacles because of himself.
While he appeared gentle towards Gu Xuan, internally he sneered. Though this girl’s Martial Arts Talent is exceptional, she is ultimately still young and likely already being played around by the Saint Master!
Gu Xuan’s graceful face under the veil wore a light smile, but her heart similarly carried disdain as she thought: "This foolish old man, so what if he broke through the shackles of ten thousand years? Isn’t he still being toyed around with by my disciple? Even now, he probably still considers him a supreme expert!"
Just then, Ye Chen approached the two and said: "I have something to do and need to leave for a while."
Elder Tiandan hurriedly said: "What does the Saint Master wish to accomplish? Is there anything I could help with?"
Gu Xuan glared at Elder Tiandan and also said: "Do you need me to accompany you?"
Ye Chen pondered for a moment before nodding: "That would be good."
With Elder Tiandan and Gu Xuan’s protection, he wouldn’t need to worry about any unforeseen events.
Although his strength had improved significantly, typical Heavenly Repairing Realm existences might not be able to challenge Ye Chen, yet the Dark Domain conceals numerous dangers, making it unwise to rest easy even with great strength.
Gu Xuan looked displeased at Elder Tiandan, saying: "Old man, don’t you find it shameful to always follow behind my disciple despite being an Outer World Expert and strong?"
For some reason, she hoped to have some alone time with her disciple, yet it was always disrupted by this old man!
Elder Tiandan didn’t mind as he raised his childlike face and said: "Shameful? To be by the Saint Master’s side is an honor for me. As for you, with me accompanying, you need not come along."
He looked mockingly at Gu Xuan and said: "Though I’ve only made a small breakthrough, you surely know our current disparity, don’t you?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Xuan’s beautiful eyes flashed with anger as she declared: "You old thing! So what if you broke through? Today, I’ll let you see how powerful the Destruction Divine Dao truly is! Before me, you’re still nothing!"
Ye Chen shook his head with a bitter smile and said: "Alright, let’s go together. This time, I’m going to cultivate a secret technique, and your protection will ease my mind."
Why did these two strongest in the Dark Domain act like quarreling children, he wondered.
After speaking, Ye Chen waved his hand, and a flash of radiance descended, placing the Black Gold Medicine King Tripod in front of Elder Tiandan.
Ye Chen smiled: "Now that the Golden Witch Body Refining Pills have been refined, this cultivation vessel should return to its rightful owner."
Elder Tiandan’s expression turned serious as he repeatedly waved his hands: "Saint Master, please accept this alchemy cauldron. Without the Saint Master, how could I have possibly broken through? Only in your hands will this cauldron truly reveal its value. Please consider it a small token of my appreciation—please do not decline, or I will find no peace!"
Ye Chen silently considered Elder Tiandan for a moment and then nodded: "Very well."
He would need to refine many Golden Witch Body Refining Pills to assist in cultivating the Hundred Evil Blood Refinement Technique, and this alchemy cauldron would be much more convenient. Compared to breaking through the shackles, this cauldron seemed insignificant.
Immediately, the three boarded the Golden Roc, flying towards the Ten Thousand Destruction Forest.
...
Within the Earth Palace of the Ten Thousand Destruction Forest, there was a slight tremor. The source of this tremor lay far below, deeper underground. No one knew that beneath the Earth Palace a secret chamber was hidden, extremely dense with necrotic energy streaming through the palace, channeling into this dark chamber. Inside, a stone coffin was prominently placed!
At this moment, the stone coffin periodically trembled, as if something was trying to open the coffin lid...
Moments later, the tremors ceased, and the Earth Palace returned to tranquility, while the presence inside the stone coffin seemed to fall into silence.
Yet, no one knew when the thing within might awaken again, and whether next time the stone coffin would truly open?
...
A beam of Golden Light descended in the Ten Thousand Destruction Forest, revealing Ye Chen and his companions as they made their way to the Earth Palace with ease.
Soon, Ye Chen and the others entered the Earth Palace once more.
Elder Tiandan frowned slightly, surprised by the intensity of the Yin Death Energy here.
Even Ye Chen and Gu Xuan exchanged glances, each seeing the surprise in the other’s eyes. The Yin Death Energy within the Earth Palace was evidently more intense than during their last visit...
Ye Chen frowned slightly, feeling an ominous premonition for some unknown reason.
The three arrived at the location of the array formation at the bottom of the Earth Palace. Ye Chen sat cross-legged, taking out the peculiar object obtained from Elder Jun and the Golden Witch Body Refining Pill, glancing at Gu Xuan and Elder Tiandan as he said: "I need to use the Yin Death Energy from this place for the secret technique I’m cultivating. This area is quite suitable, so I must trouble the two of you."
Gu Xuan and Elder Tiandan nodded, their figures flashing as they positioned themselves on either side of the secret chamber, their spiritual energy slowly revolving as they prepared themselves.
Ye Chen took a deep breath, pointing his finger at the Heavenly Witch’s Eye. Instantly, the rune within the eerie eyeball emitted a beam of Blood Light, hovering above Ye Chen’s head. Faintly, the silhouettes of countless Great Witches seemed to stand behind Ye Chen, and the whole Earth Palace’s Yin Death Energy appeared agitated, beginning to flow towards Ye Chen’s location!
Ye Chen’s eyes shone with Divine Radiance as he took out a Golden Witch Body Refining Pill and swallowed it. His pupils contracted as an exceedingly fierce medicinal power surged through his Meridians!
