Chapter 1108: Five-Colored Nourishing Soil

Ye Yuan pushed the state of unity between heaven and man to its extreme, taking in everything around him.

He avoided those powerful beings one by one.

For a martial artist, ten thousand li was not a large range, and it didn't take Ye Yuan much time to search.

Finally, after three days, Ye Yuan found traces of the Ten Fragrance Immortal Potato!

The Ten Fragrance Immortal Potato was an earth-attribute spiritual herb, skilled at burrowing, and its spirit's strength was extraordinary.

However, none of this posed any difficulty for Ye Yuan.

Instead of alerting it, he set up several ninth-rank formations nearby, enclosing the area like an iron bucket.

Thus, the Ten Fragrance Immortal Potato couldn't escape even if it grew wings.

But just as Ye Yuan was about to subdue the Ten Fragrance Immortal Potato, an unexpected change occurred.

The Ten Fragrance Immortal Potato suddenly went berserk, violently crashing into the formation.

To Ye Yuan's astonishment, the originally impregnable formation shattered with a single impact from the potato.

Breaking through the formation, the Ten Fragrance Immortal Potato sped deep into the sixth layer.

Without time to think, Ye Yuan immediately merged with heaven and earth and gave chase.

But the potato's burrowing speed was astonishingly fast, and Ye Yuan couldn't catch up in a short time.

Seeing that the potato was about to run beyond the ten-thousand-li range, Ye Yuan grew anxious.

Let alone alarming the three kings, even disturbing an existence like Xiao Yan would land him in deep trouble.

Ye Yuan was confident in his strength, but not to the point of arrogance.

He was no match for beings like the three kings.

Unknowingly, the chase had already taken them far beyond the ten-thousand-li range.

"I can't keep chasing like this. I'll go all out!"

Ye Yuan's expression darkened as he suddenly unleashed the Evil-Slaying Divine Sword.

"Swish!"

Infused with divine essence, the Evil-Slaying Divine Sword moved at an inconceivable speed, directly pinning the fleeing Ten Fragrance Immortal Potato.

Overjoyed, Ye Yuan flashed forward and gave chase.

Not knowing how far he had gone, Ye Yuan dared not linger. He sealed the potato and headed for the teleportation array.

But at that moment, an extremely powerful divine sense descended, firmly locking onto Ye Yuan.

Ye Yuan felt as if struck by lightning, frozen in place.

He had only felt such pressure from beings like Ling Zhe.

Without a doubt, the owner of this divine sense was likely one of the three kings!

Ye Yuan sighed inwardly, knowing he had alarmed them after all.

A young man in purple robes slowly stepped out of the void, staring at Ye Yuan with a grim expression, and said coldly, "Ignorant human, how dare you run wild on my territory!"

Ye Yuan's scalp tingled. If nothing unexpected happened, this young man was probably the Thunderstrike Purple Bamboo.

The powerful fluctuations emanating from him made even Ye Yuan's heart palpitate.

This young man was too strong!

"You must be Senior Thunderstrike Purple Bamboo, right? I am Ye Yuan. I have offended you, but it was unavoidable. This Ten Fragrance Immortal Potato is extremely important to me. If I have disturbed your cultivation, I am willing to compensate with other things."

Ye Yuan cupped his hands.

Thunderstrike Purple Bamboo glanced at Ye Yuan coldly and sneered, "Ridiculous! Do you think there is anything in this world that can move me?"

Ye Yuan felt awkward. For an existence like Thunderstrike Purple Bamboo, perhaps the only thing that could move them was the elusive divine path.

Or perhaps taking them out of this space.

But Ye Yuan could say this to Xiao Yan, not to Thunderstrike Purple Bamboo, because he simply wouldn't believe it.

Of course, Ye Yuan also possessed treasures like the Haotian Stele and the Soul-Calming Pearl, but he naturally wouldn't take them out.

Thunderstrike Purple Bamboo said indifferently, "You're not strong, yet you managed to reach the sixth layer. That surprises me. That aura just now—it should be a divine weapon, right? Lucky for you that you met me. If it were those two, things wouldn't be so easy!"

Ye Yuan's expression tightened, realizing that this guy had indeed set his sights on his divine weapon.

But he would never hand over the Evil-Slaying Divine Sword.

"Senior, name your terms. If I can do it, I won't refuse. But this divine weapon..." Ye Yuan said.

Thunderstrike Purple Bamboo said disdainfully, "Don't worry, a divine weapon is useless to me. However, I am quite interested in you. Stay and be my servant for ten thousand years, and I will naturally let you go."

Ye Yuan knew this guy wouldn't say anything good.

For one thing, how could Ye Yuan ever submit to another?

"I'm afraid I can't do that," Ye Yuan said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

He didn't want to conflict with Thunderstrike Purple Bamboo, but that didn't mean he was truly afraid of him.

Thunderstrike Purple Bamboo seemed to have expected this and sneered, "Are you mocking me? Neither the divine weapon nor being my servant—tell me, what else do you have that I might fancy?"

Ye Yuan thought for a moment and said, "I wonder if Senior is interested in Five-Colored Nourishing Soil?"

Thunderstrike Purple Bamboo, who had been looking supremely confident, changed color at these words and said, "You... you also have Five-Colored Nourishing Soil? Hurry! Take it out!"

It was no wonder Thunderstrike Purple Bamboo was surprised; Five-Colored Nourishing Soil was a fatal temptation for any plant.

Legend had it that Five-Colored Nourishing Soil was an earth-attribute supreme treasure, containing the primal power of the five elements' great dao. A heavenly spiritual species like Thunderstrike Purple Bamboo could glimpse the primal dao through it.

At Thunderstrike Purple Bamboo's level, there was naturally little that could catch his eye, but that didn't mean he had no room for improvement.

This Five-Colored Nourishing Soil was exactly what could help him advance further.

Even if the heavenly laws allowed the divine realm to reappear, this soil could definitely help him cross that heavenly moat!

Thunderstrike Purple Bamboo fully expected Ye Yuan to have Five-Colored Nourishing Soil, but Ye Yuan shook his head frankly and said, "No!"

Thunderstrike Purple Bamboo's excitement instantly turned to rage, and his terrifying aura directly enveloped Ye Yuan.

"You dare toy with me? You've lived long enough!" Thunderstrike Purple Bamboo said.

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Senior, don't be upset. It seems you have seen Five-Colored Nourishing Soil before, right?"

Thunderstrike Purple Bamboo was no fool; he immediately understood Ye Yuan's meaning and sneered, "You mean to bribe me with that guy's stuff to let you go? Heh, you've got it all figured out, don't you? Do you take me for a three-year-old child with such empty promises?"

The 'guy' Thunderstrike Purple Bamboo referred to was none other than Zhuge Qingxuan!

As far as Ye Yuan knew, Zhuge Qingxuan had a piece of Five-Colored Nourishing Soil, which he guarded jealously, allowing no one else to touch it.

Thunderstrike Purple Bamboo's current expression naturally indicated that Zhuge Qingxuan had indeed been to the sixth layer and had even made a deal with him.

However, Thunderstrike Purple Bamboo seemed not to have agreed.
