Chapter 762: Mysterious Qi

With a thud, Ye Yuan collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath.

"M-master, is that you?"

Xu Yan had been observing Ye Yuan's movements from the side, but he could not peer into the battle taking place within the sea of consciousness.

However, in his view, given Xie Lingzi's strength, it was impossible for him to lose to a mere Divine Journey realm brat.

Yet Xu Yan was puzzled as to why Xie Lingzi had taken so long to deal with such a young man.

Moreover, Ye Yuan appeared to be severely depleted.

"Huff... huff... That dead ghost of a master of yours is now completely dead! Using this move really takes it out of me; even with the help of pills, I'm afraid it'll take at least half a month to recover." Ye Yuan panted, speaking helplessly.

Upon hearing Ye Yuan's words, Cang Yan felt as if struck by a thunderbolt!

What had he just said?

Master... Master had been killed!

How... how was that possible?

Even if Xie Lingzi's current state was far inferior to his peak, dealing with a Divine Journey realm brat should have been effortless, right?

Cang Yan, who had always been by Xie Lingzi's side, knew all too well how powerful Xie Lingzi was. How could he fail to possess a Divine Journey realm brat?

Cang Yan now lay limp on the ground like mud, but he couldn't help lifting his head to look at Ye Yuan as if he had seen a ghost.

This youth before him, so young that one could almost overlook his age, was truly a monstrous existence!

He had possessed Xu Yan, and through Xu Yan's secret technique, lured Ying Tianya here. It was supposed to be a sure thing.

Cang Yan knew that those who came this time were all Heaven Enlightenment realm martial artists, nothing to fear.

But no matter how much he calculated, he never expected such a prodigy to appear!

Ye Yuan swallowed a pill to restore his soul power and rested for a while, finally recovering his strength.

When his gaze fell on Cang Yan, the latter couldn't help but shiver.

Ye Yuan smiled brightly and said, "Don't be afraid. I just want to ask you a few questions. If you answer honestly, I might spare your life."

Cang Yan was startled and quickly replied, "G-great one, please ask. I will answer everything!"

Ye Yuan nodded and asked, "You lived through the Age of Gods. Do you know how to achieve the Divine Realm?"

Ye Yuan's question made Cang Yan's expression turn very grim.

"Great one, even in the Age of Gods, the Divine Realm was an unfathomable realm. Not to mention me, even Xie Lingzi lingered before that gate for a long time without finding the way in!" Cang Yan said with a bitter smile.

Ye Yuan looked at Cang Yan with a half-smile and said, "So you mean you're completely useless? Xiao Huo, extinguish his primordial spirit!"

"Wait, wait, wait! I... I may not know how to achieve the Divine Realm, but I do know that one thing is crucial for achieving it!" Cang Yan quickly said.

Hearing Cang Yan's words, Ye Yuan's heart stirred slightly, somewhat surprised.

In fact, Ye Yuan had expected Cang Yan to say he didn't know the secret to becoming a god. He hadn't anticipated that his bluff would actually yield something.

"What is it?" Ye Yuan asked, suppressing his excitement.

In his previous life, Ye Yuan's lifelong pursuit was to achieve the Divine Alchemist realm, but he had sought it in vain.

Now, having the chance to hear the secret of becoming a god, how could Ye Yuan not be excited?

Cang Yan said, "Divine Realm experts and ordinary martial artists are beings from two different worlds. Although Xie Lingzi was considered powerful among the Dao Profound realm, before a Divine Realm expert, he wouldn't even dare to raise his head. As for how to attain the Dao and become a god, Divine Realm experts are all tight-lipped about it. However, given Xie Lingzi's status, he knew some hidden secrets about becoming a god. It is said that achieving the Divine Realm is closely related to something called 'Mysterious Qi'! All martial artists must undergo the baptism of 'Mysterious Qi' to transform into gods!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Yuan frowned deeply: "Mysterious Qi? What is that?"

Ye Yuan had never heard of the term 'Mysterious Qi' before.

In his previous life, Ji Qingyun was among the pinnacle group of the Divine Realm and knew many secrets about the Divine Realm.

Over the past hundred thousand years, martial artists had never given up researching the Divine Realm.

Every major power had its own core secrets. Of course, there were also many things about the Divine Realm that everyone knew.

But Ye Yuan had never heard that the Divine Realm was related to something called 'Mysterious Qi'.

Cang Yan shook his head and said, "I don't know. Divine Realm experts are all very secretive about it. Even if they exchange information, it's only among themselves. They look down on martial artists below the Divine Realm."

Ye Yuan did not doubt this.

The power of Divine Realm experts was unimaginable to ordinary martial artists.

The gap between the Divine Realm and Dao Profound could not be bridged by numbers.

No matter how many Dao Profound experts, they were no match for a Divine Realm expert!

It could be said that Divine Realm experts were beings of a completely different level of life!

If not, they would not be called the Divine Realm!

Thus, in the eyes of Divine Realm experts, ordinary martial artists were not qualified to communicate with them.

Ye Yuan fell into thought.

It seemed that the overnight disappearance of all Divine Realm experts had taken away too many secrets, causing a断层 between two generations of martial artists.

As for this 'Mysterious Qi', it sounded like a kind of existence similar to primal energy. But this Mysterious Qi was probably on a higher level than primal energy.

However, according to Cang Yan, he had no idea what Mysterious Qi was, which suggested that it was probably not easy to perceive.

Either it was extremely rare, or one needed to reach some mysterious state to perceive it, or both.

In short, becoming a god was as difficult as reaching the heavens!

Even in the Age of Gods, it was already extremely difficult. In this current age of the decline of the Dharma, becoming a god was even more of a luxury.

"Perhaps... the Godfall Mountain Range hides some secrets of becoming a god. When the time is right, I might go there to investigate," Ye Yuan thought to himself.

Currently, most of the information about the Divine Realm in the Divine Realm was obtained from the Godfall Mountain Range, including the golden characters in Ye Yuan's sea of consciousness!

If there was any place in the Divine Realm closest to the Divine Realm, it was the Godfall Mountain Range.

But with the name 'Mysterious Qi', Ye Yuan's exploration of the Godfall Mountain Range would be more targeted.

"G-great one, I've told you everything I know. Please, have mercy and let me go!" Cang Yan said with a mournful face.

Ye Yuan looked at him and smiled, "I promised to spare your life, and I won't go back on my word. But I dare not let a primordial spirit like you run free. So..."

Ye Yuan suddenly struck out with his palm, aiming for Xu Yan's crown.
