Chapter 2068: Chapter 760: Shifting Offense and Defense, the Giant Beast Charges

”Senior Brother, is the quantity enough?”

”Counting this harvest, there are a total of fifteen illusion cores.”

”Only fifteen?”

In a secluded cave, a man and a woman conversed softly.

Upon hearing the number fifteen, a look of puzzlement clearly appeared on the woman’s face.

”Senior Brother, why don’t you use this batch of illusion cores first to attempt to swim in the Primordial Energy Ocean and comprehend the force of the Original Source!”

”How can we do that? It was agreed before we entered that we would first find twenty illusion cores together, and then we would individually cultivate. We are still short five cores, how can I adapt ahead of time? Besides, if anyone should use them first, it should be you, Ming Yan!” said True Master Longyuan.

Seeing the woman still troubled, he shook his head to reassure her, ”Within the Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven, the flow of time is vastly different from the Outer World, we have ample time. Moreover, because of the siege by those younger ones on the outskirts, a large number of second and third-order illusion beasts will be forced inside, devouring and merging with each other, giving rise to more fourth-order illusion beasts, we have plenty of opportunities.”

Saying this, True Master Longyuan couldn’t help but smile.

”If it wasn’t for your master-disciple line sharing the secret of the concentrated absorption of illusion cores with me, I might have spent a hundred years in this Cave Heaven without seeing any results.”

Ming Yan acknowledged this, as this secret was summarized by a few elders from their master-disciple line during their tempering in the Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven.

Unlike the clans, the master-disciple lineage of the Tianyuan Daoist Sect is sparse in strength, often participating solo in the five-hundred-year grand competition, entering the Cave Heaven.

Without a protector, they dare not easily absorb the illusion cores and enter deep cultivation.

One elder, to avoid disturbances, hunted illusion beasts along the way, accumulated a large number of illusion cores with secret techniques, then after making thorough protective preparations, absorbed and cultivated them all at once, ultimately succeeding in comprehending the force of the Original Source!

Ming Yan doesn’t know if other clans are aware of this trick, but this time the master-disciple line shared this secret with True Master Longyuan, who has a particularly good relationship with her and is greatly favored by the elders.

It’s just that, even with the trick, illusion beasts are hard to find!

These illusion beasts are generated by the power of the Mirage Dragon, naturally blending with this heaven and earth, making them extremely elusive.

In a full twenty years, the two joined forces and only managed to collect fifteen illusion cores.

Five cores are still needed to reach the goal of ten cores each!

”I’ve calculated, the remaining five cores should take no more than ten years, and we each set a ten-year limit for cultivation. So, it totals only fifty years. If it isn’t successful by then, we still have fifty years to collect enough illusion cores for a final attempt!”

True Master Longyuan said confidently.

True Master Ming Yan nodded, ”Then we shall follow Senior Brother’s words!”

As the two were discussing, True Master Longyuan’s eyes suddenly lit up, and he went straight out of the cave.

”Senior Brother, what’s the matter?”

Ming Yan hurriedly followed outside, but what she saw made her open her little mouth in surprise.

She saw a massive white bighorn sheep, as tall as a small mountain, rolling over layers of forests, heading east.

”Fourth-order illusion beast!” she subconsciously exclaimed.

”Come, follow it, and find an opportunity to seize its inner core!”

True Master Longyuan resolutely and decisively, holding a longsword in his hand, ready to act at any moment.

Ming Yan followed without hesitation, immediately trailing behind.

...

On a mountain summit.

Two figures slowly emerged.

A young man wearing a luxurious robe and holding a white jade fan was looking down towards the abyss below the absolute summit.

Mists and poisonous barriers were dense.

”Old Ghost Qi, are you sure there is a fourth-order illusion beast down there?”

Beside him, the hunched Qi Xiongcheng was carrying a Purple Jade Gourd almost as big as his body.

He replied in a deep voice, ”This old servant has no mistake. Three years ago, a bird-like illusion beast preyed on a large number of third-order illusion beasts outside, had a feast, and then flew alone into this abyss. According to this old servant’s observation, the beast’s body is extremely strong, even among fourth-order illusion beasts it’s considered powerful. Its illusion core must contain abundant spiritual energy!”

Instead of appreciating this answer, Shi Ju showed dissatisfaction.

”Since it was discovered, why didn’t you capture it, and wait until I came out of seclusion? Don’t you know that my purpose this time is not only to comprehend the force of the Original Source but also to cultivate the ’Supreme Mysterious Cave Bright Flame True Scripture’ with the ample time in the Cave Heaven, to directly learn the sect’s seven divine powers after the grand competition ends?”

In his words, he seemed determined to obtain the Tianyuan Daoist Sect’s seven divine powers.

But all the powerful figures from various clans knew, the Tianyuan divine powers were never easily transmitted, no matter how great your talent, there was always a threshold to learning them.

Only the Ancestors of God Transformation and Nascent Soul True Masters who comprehended the law’s true meaning in advance could learn.

In other words, Shi Ju didn’t worry at all about whether he could comprehend the law’s true meaning; he already considered it a certainty.

Qi Xiongcheng lowered his head further, speaking softly, ”For an ordinary fourth-order illusion beast, this old servant might be confident to take it down, but this one is too strong, so it requires the Young Master’s help. With our combined efforts, we’ll capture it easily then.”

”Enough!”

Shi Ju waved his hand, closing the fan.

”Since I’ve come, forget about cooperation. Later, I’ll disperse its form, you collect the illusion core using the Purple Sun Gourd!”

The Young Master taking action personally?

Qi Xiongcheng didn’t hesitate and accepted this plan without doubting Shi Ju’s strength at all.

This time, among the thirteen true disciples entering the Cave Heaven, the Young Master was undoubtedly one of the best, not only with outstanding talent but also possessing strong combat prowess.
