Chapter 2729: The Primordial Qi!

"This trip into the secret realm might be extremely dangerous even for Saint Emperor Heaven experts. Dahuang, you should return to the Ten Thousand Demons Mountain first." After a moment of silence, Ye Yuan said.

"What are you saying, Master Ye? Since Dahuang follows Master Ye, naturally he must protect Master Ye's safety. No matter how perilous this secret realm is, Dahuang will accompany you!" Dahuang said without hesitation.

Ye Yuan's words were not a test.

The relationship between him and Dahuang was not a contractual one, nor was Dahuang truly his mount.

Dahuang was simple-minded and stubborn, but not stupid.

This could be seen from how he insisted on following Ye Yuan out.

Once he set his mind on something, he would not turn back.

Going with Ye Yuan carried risks, but the rewards were higher.

If he left now, it would be hard to follow Ye Yuan again.

Dahuang saw things as clearly as a mirror in his heart.

But he had indeed never thought of leaving; without Ye Yuan, he would never have been able to step into the Saint Emperor Heaven in this lifetime.

Thus, without any consideration, he answered Ye Yuan.

"The founder of the Yuzhen Heavenly Sect, a Saint Venerate who once dominated the Five Great Realms, fell there! You... really want to go?"

Dahuang nodded: "Go, why not? Don't you humans have a saying, 'Fortune favors the bold'? Maybe this trip is Dahuang's opportunity, who knows?"

Hearing this, Ye Yuan grinned and said, "Good, then let's go and brave the Sheng Luo Secret Realm!"

Since Dahuang was willing to risk his life to accompany him, Ye Yuan would remember it in his heart.

...

Yuzhen Heavenly Sect, Yuqi Peak.

Countless restrictions shrouded this place.

This Yuqi Peak was, as Han Fang had said, the greatest forbidden ground of the Yuzhen Heavenly Sect!

Here, except for the Sect Master, no one was allowed to approach.

During the Yuzhen Heavenly Sect's heyday, extremely powerful restrictions were laid here, so strong that even a Saint Emperor Heaven expert would find it hard to break in.

Feeling the terrifying fluctuations of the restrictions, Dahuang was also somewhat terrified.

He sensed danger!

"Master Ye, Dahuang can't get in here either. How about we leave first? We can slowly think of a way when we get back," Dahuang said.

Ye Yuan smiled: "Since we're here, what's the rush?"

He paced around the entrance and soon noticed a stone pier with a groove of a very peculiar shape.

Seeing this groove, Ye Yuan's eyes lit up, and the Tongtian Mountain was already resting in his palm.

The shape of this groove was exactly the same as the base of the Tongtian Mountain!

Ye Yuan placed the Tongtian Mountain into the groove, and in an instant, the terrifying restrictions dissipated without a trace.

Seeing this, Dahuang was dumbfounded.

"This... it can actually be like this?"

Ye Yuan smiled: "This treasure was originally Yan Yuzhen's possession. It's only natural that he used the Tongtian Mountain as the array eye."

With the restrictions gone, the two advanced unimpeded all the way to the peak.

But along the way, everything was very ordinary, with nothing suspicious at all.

Ye Yuan frowned: "Strange. Since Yuqi Peak is called a forbidden ground, it can't be just a bare mountain, right? Could it be..."

His gaze turned to the bottomless abyss ahead!

"Dahuang!"

Ye Yuan gave a soft shout, leaped, and together with Dahuang, jumped into the bottomless abyss.

At this, Ye Yuan's heart skipped a beat.

A powerful and uncanny force sent his body plummeting downward!

If he fell at this speed, even as a Yuhuangtian expert, he would surely die!

"Quickly activate the Myriad Worlds Mountain!" Mitian said in his sea of consciousness.

Ye Yuan suddenly understood and hurriedly took out the Tongtian Mountain again, infusing it with divine essence to activate it.

Ye Yuan's body abruptly halted, floating in midair.

Seeing this, he breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Dahuang, after all, was at the Shenghuangtian level; though somewhat disheveled, he barely managed to stabilize himself.

Ye Yuan broke out in a cold sweat and said, "I was too careless! I never expected such a strange force behind this cliff. This force isn't a restriction; it seems to be naturally formed."

In his sea of consciousness, Mitian said excitedly, "You lucky brat, you've struck gold! Primordial Qi weighs tens of thousands of jun! This is a force field formed by Primordial Qi! There must be Primordial Qi in this mountain peak! With it, your Myriad Worlds Mountain can be elevated to a Primordial Supreme Treasure!"

Ye Yuan raised an eyebrow and said joyfully, "Is that so? What a stroke of luck!"

Ever since learning the true origin of the Tongtian Mountain, Ye Yuan had constantly wished to restore it to its peak state.

Unexpectedly, he had encountered Primordial Qi here!

Mitian said, "Activate the Myriad Worlds Mountain and seek the area with the strongest force field—that is the entrance!"

Ye Yuan nodded slightly and began to activate the Tongtian Mountain.

He relaxed his mind and body, letting the Tongtian Mountain sense for him.

The more divine essence he infused, the stronger the force field in that area.

Soon, he spotted a deep cave entrance on the cliff!

"That's it!" Ye Yuan said, quite excited.

He could sense mysterious fluctuations emanating from within.

Big Yellow saw this and couldn't help but click his tongue in wonder.

Once inside the cave, Ye Yuan couldn't help but exclaim, "Even knowing there is a precious treasure on this cliff, without the strength of a Saint Emperor Heaven, it would be impossible to obtain it!"

That strange force field, even with his use of spatial laws, he could not overcome.

An ordinary Jade Emperor Heaven expert who came here would have only one outcome: falling to their death.

Big Yellow nodded and said, "This force field carries the might of heaven, quite terrifying! To get here, one needs at least the strength of a Half-Saint Emperor Heaven!"

The two walked along the cave entrance, and the deeper they went, the more they felt a powerful fluctuation coming from ahead.

The light gradually brightened.

The space inside also grew wider.

Ye Yuan saw ahead a milky-white barrier blocking the way.

He could sense that within this milky-white barrier, waves of chaotic aura emanated.

And within the chaos, a small cluster of pale yellow gas emitted a more condensed and mysterious aura.

Presumably, this was the Primordial Qi that Mitian had spoken of.

"Unexpectedly, within this small sect, there is actually a boundary wall! No wonder Primordial Qi appears here! I'm afraid this piece of Myriad Realms Mountain passed through the boundary wall and ended up here! That fool who obtained the Myriad Realms Mountain definitely didn't know this power was Primordial Qi—utterly foolish!" said Mitian.

Hearing this, Ye Yuan sighed, "This Yan Yuzhen sits on a treasure mountain without knowing it, yet insists on using the power of the Tongtian Realm to repair Tongtian Mountain. How ironic!"

Using Primordial Qi, one could repair Tongtian Mountain, even making it a Primordial Treasure.

But Yan Yuzhen clearly had no idea!

Vision determines action.

No matter how strong Yan Yuzhen was, he was just a local tyrant.

"Senior, is that the Primordial Qi?" Ye Yuan pointed at the pale yellow gas cluster and asked.

Mitian nodded and said, "Correct! But this Primordial Qi is somewhat scarce; I'm afraid it can only allow your Myriad Realms Mountain to break through to a first-grade Primordial Treasure."

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Being able to reach the level of a Primordial Treasure is already very good! How should I extract it?"
