Chapter 116 - 115: Hidden Dragon in the Abyss

Chapter 116: Chapter 115: Hidden Dragon in the AbyssQi Bamboo Forest. Ye Xuan, carrying the elixirs, had returned to the previous location and met up with Tan Qingshan and the others. Upon meeting, Ye Xuan tossed the Storage Jade Bracelet to Tan Qingshan and the rest. "Here are your necessities for the next few days, one bottle each, keep it safe." Tan Qingshan received the Storage Jade Bracelet, somewhat puzzled, but when he checked the elixirs inside the bracelet, he couldn’t help but inhale sharply in surprise. "Returning Essence Pill, Revitalizing Pill, Qi Replenishing Pill, Nourishing God Pill, Strengthening Pill!" "Five types of top-grade elixirs!" "So many!" Tan Qingshan was astonished. Zhu Xiaofei, Xiao Zhan, and the others, upon hearing this, were all stunned. Normally, they would need a massive number of Contribution Points to exchange for such elixirs, yet Ye Xuan had somehow acquired so many. For a moment, everyone looked at Ye Xuan with excited faces, "We knew that our big senior brother would definitely not abandon us!" "For now, just use these. I’ll deliver more after three days," said Ye Xuan with a smile. "There’s more?" the crowd asked, astonished. "It’s still these elixirs, otherwise, one bottle per person won’t be enough," Ye Xuan explained. "This!" Tan Qingshan and the others looked at each other in shock. One bottle per person wouldn’t be enough? Weren’t they going to stay here for only twenty-four days? Involuntarily, they all felt puzzled. Seeing the confused expressions, the corner of Ye Xuan’s mouth tilted slightly, revealing a sly smile, "You won’t think so by tomorrow." "Hurry and take the elixirs to recover your condition. I’ll give you an hour to recover, and then begin an hour’s worth of cultivation." Having said that, Ye Xuan leaped up, stepping on the bamboo leaves as if climbing a ladder of clouds, disappearing from sight swiftly. Tan Qingshan and the others watched Ye Xuan leave, keeping his words in mind, and without saying much, they sat down cross-legged on the spot to consume the elixirs and recover their condition. "With so many elixirs, if we sold them, who knows how many Spirit Stones we could make..." Zhu Xiaofei looked at the five bottles of elixirs in front of him and muttered. "Sell my ass!" Xiao Zhan gave Zhu Xiaofei a disdainful glance and said irritably, "Big senior brother said these elixirs are for us to recover. If you can’t get back your strength in an hour, what will you do during an hour of cultivation later?" "Xiaofei, stop daydreaming and concentrate on cultivation," Tan Qingshan frowned and glanced at Zhu Xiaofei, chiding him. Zhu Xiaofei’s expression fell, and with a sullen face, he retorted, "I was just saying, why are you so agitated? Cultivation, cultivation, like I’m speaking to the air." Upon hearing this, Tan Qingshan couldn’t help but shake his head and chuckle. This Zhu Xiaofei. Soon, all ten of them entered into cultivation. After enduring half an hour of rigorous training, they quickly entered a meditative state and the potency of the consumed elixirs rapidly spread through their limbs and bones, fully bringing out their effects. Ye Xuan stood above the Qi Bamboo Forest, as if standing on the bamboo waves swaying with the wind, observing the cultivation state of Tan Qingshan and the others, his expression calm. Normally, it would be impossible for these fellows to fully absorb the potency of these elixirs. But the five elixirs he required, combined with the consumption of Tan Qingshan and the others in the Qi Bamboo Forest, could form a certain invisible balance, allowing the ten of them to perfectly assimilate the power of the five elixirs. In this way, they could recover their condition in the shortest possible time without any side effects. This method was not widely known, and even fewer people still alive in this world knew about it, perhaps only Ye Xuan himself. Ye Xuan had slowly figured out this invisible balance on his own. The accumulation of time was extremely important. All the knowledge that Ye Xuan possessed had been accumulated and explored over the eternities, then stored in the recesses of his mind. That was Ye Xuan’s most invincible aspect. After a moment, seeing that everyone had entered their state, Ye Xuan withdrew his gaze. Looking at the bamboo waves drifting with the wind, his eyes carried a hint of sentimentality. In the past, he had taken Lie Tian, Xuanyuan, Wang Yanglong, and others to cultivate in the Qi Bamboo Forest. Back then, it was even more brutal than it was now. Lie Tian, Xuanyuan, Wang Yanglong, and the others were tormented day and night to the point of death and back; it was miserable. But later, they became the protagonists of that era. Especially Lie Tian, who achieved the position of Great Emperor, intimidating all heavens, full of pride and vigor. Xuanyuan also became Xuanyuan Sword Emperor, and Wang Yanglong and the others were crowned as invincible Emperor Generals. In the blink of an eye, these youngsters had grown up. And in another blink, they had all disappeared. Ye Xuan’s eyes held a trace of sorrow. Throughout the eternal ages, he bid farewell to too many old friends, only he, eternal and undying. He ascended from the Mythical Era, manipulated by the master of the Burial Emperor, traversed all heavens and worlds, traveled from the southernmost lands to the northernmost skies, in search of the unparalleled strongest physique known as ’Taoist Body’. He crossed countless eras, yet still did not find it. He finally broke free from the master of the Burial Emperor’s control, schemed for all eternity, and ninety thousand years ago, using the hands of the Double Emperors, he sealed that invincible body, thus allowing his soul to return to his origin. Unexpectedly, the Double Emperors betrayed him, causing his soul to slumber for ninety thousand years. Fortunately, his soul did indeed return to his original body, though five years too late. But everything was developing in a good direction. At the very least, he can make up for many, many regrets. This time, he wants to step onto the peak, slay the Double Emperors with his own hands, and confront the master of the Burial Emperor! Now, it’s just the beginning! "Daozhou Land has five Great Domains, and the current East Desolation Domain should still be uncontrolled by anyone," Ye Xuan pondered to himself as he gazed into the distance. "Central Earth Divine Continent is dominated by the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect." "It’s just unclear what the situation is in the West Desert Buddha Land, Southern Ridge Divine Mountain, and Beiming Sea Domain..." Ye Xuan silently calculated for a moment, then withdrew his thoughts. For now, there was no need to consider these things, just doing well in the present matters was enough. Over the eternal ages, Ye Xuan had already cultivated an Invincible Dao Heart. "Cultivation, only by strengthening oneself is the true path," Ye Xuan began to meditate upon a ripple of bamboo waves, rising with the wind. Possessing the unique Taoist Body that was unmatched for all eternity, Ye Xuan’s cultivation speed could be called unparalleled in the world, and with just the initial operation of the Taichu Hongmeng Primordial Dao Technique, he directly entered the Fifth Layer of Divine Gate. This left Ye Xuan somewhat speechless. This Taoist Body was perhaps excessively powerful. The night before last, he slept for a night and woke up at dawn to find himself stepping into the Fourth Level of Divine Gate. And now he had just started operating the cultivation technique and directly entered the Fifth Layer of Divine Gate... This damn thing. Truly bizarre. It was as if there was no bottleneck at all. "Previously, when I entered the Peak of Reach Profound, I distinctly felt the existence of a bottleneck." "This means that for the minor realms, there is no bottleneck with the Taoist Body, but for the major realms, there is still one." Ye Xuan did some deductions. His physique was the unparalleled Taoist Body, of which there was no record in the annals of history. Even Ye Xuan didn’t know much about it, only aware that such a physique, when cultivated to its peak, could suppress all Dao with one body! Hum———— As the Taichu Hongmeng Primordial Dao Technique operated, Dao Patterns began to automatically form in Ye Xuan’s hands.

At the same time, above Ye Xuan’s head at the Heavenly Gate, the Divine Gate slowly opened, and a hazy Chaos Qi seeped out, casting a huge and fierce shadow in suspension. Beneath, there was a small tree, emitting a verdant divine glow, full of vitality. These were precisely Ye Xuan’s two spirits of the Void Divine Realm — Chaos Ghost Fang and Tree God! These were two of the strongest spirits within the Void Divine Realm. As Ye Xuan cultivated, both of these spirits materialized, assisting him in his cultivation. Ye Xuan’s cultivation, however, alerted Zhou Zihuang, the Sect Master of the Emperor Immortal Sect. Zhou Zihuang looked into the distance towards the direction of Xuanyuan Peak, his eyes flashing with a sharp gleam: "That slight tremor, how terrifying..." He decided to investigate in person. Boom———— At that moment, a phantom suddenly materialized in front of Zhou Zihuang; it was an old man. "The ancestor?" Zhou Zihuang was a bit surprised. "Zihuang, the cultivator is Ye Xuan," the old man said slowly. "Ye Xuan?!" Zhou Zihuang was immediately astonished. The old man nodded slightly and said, "When he first opened the Divine Gate, the awakened spirits from the Void Divine Realm were extraordinary. This matter was suppressed by me, and now no one in the Sect knows of it." Zhou Zihuang couldn’t help but smile slightly and said, "Then it seems I can sense it because the ancestors have done so intentionally." "As his father-in-law, and also the Sect Master of the Emperor Immortal Sect, you naturally should know," the old man said with a smile. "All right," Zhou Zihuang smiled helplessly but also held a trace of anticipation in his heart. This son-in-law is truly a hidden dragon!
