Chapter 343 - 344 Chapter 349 The Little Spirits in the Divine Source

344: Chapter 349: The Little Spirits in the Divine Source 344: Chapter 349: The Little Spirits in the Divine Source “Could it really be a dragon?” “True Dragons are like Immortals.

They don’t appear in the world.

How could such a thing exist?!” The scene was boiling over, with many people exclaiming in surprise.

A living creature within the Divine Source was truly astonishing.

A stone sphere the size of half a human head, with a thin layer of stone skin peeled away, hung mid-air like a golden sun, its light dazzling.

Those with weak cultivation bases had only one choice: to close their eyes.

It was almost impossible to look directly at it.

The Divine Radiance hurt the eyes, shooting out like golden needles.

Those with high cultivation bases were crowding forward, many with mouths agape in shock, all wanting to see clearly what kind of creature was gestating inside.

Ye Fan found it hard to remain calm.

Cutting out a Divine Source containing a living being was beyond his expectations.

The Divine Source throbbed like a frightened child, wanting to escape, but was suppressed by senior figures with light screens, forced to stay in place.

Many people completely surrounded it.

Even Ye Fan could not get inside.

Something more precious than Source itself had emerged, causing a huge commotion.

No one present could keep their emotions calm.

Everyone was incredibly excited, and there was a cacophony of noise.

“Young Brother Gu Feng, this precious treasure must be sold to us!” “Little Brother Gu, could we discuss this?

Our Yin Yang Sect intends to purchase this Divine Source and the creature inside.” “There’s got to be an order.

I said it first!

Old man Wang, move to the back!” “The highest bidder wins!

I don’t mind spending a fortune!” …

The nature of what was in the Divine Source had not yet been determined, but a group of Elders was already arguing heatedly, faces red and necks swollen.

They were all Elders from various Great Sects, each with an intimidating background.

“Arguing is useless.

Let Young Brother Gu Feng make the decision.

He decides whom to sell it to.” “Young Brother Gu Feng…” “Huh, Young Brother Gu Feng, where are you?” Only now did the group of Elders realize the main person wasn’t in sight, unaware of where he had been pushed.

“Seniors, I’m outside, I can’t get in!

Could you please make some room for me so I can also see what has been cut out?” Ye Fan simply couldn’t squeeze in.

These Elders seemed to be on steroids, all full of vigor and spirit.

Although their limbs were old, they were harder than iron bars, pushing out nearly all the younger generation.

Many were left gritting their teeth in frustration.

Only the Prince of Great Xia, Yao Yuekong, Jin Chixiao, and a few others could remain inside, though their clothes were disheveled.

It was fortunate enough they could even stand there.

The young nun in white wrinkled her nose, hiding behind her brother.

“Quick, make way for Little Brother Gu, let him in!” “Old fellows, move aside!

Don’t block the main man!” The crowd stopped shoving.

Ye Fan finally walked in, reaching the center of the area.

He had undoubtedly become the focus of attention.

“I’m here too!” Li Heishui’s shoes had been squeezed off by the bunch of Elders.

His clothes were in disarray, but he finally managed to follow Ye Fan in.

He couldn’t help but complain, “Seniors, please, don’t get as excited as if you’ve seen a peerless beauty, alright?

My clothes were almost ripped off!” Ye Fan finally made it inside.

The Divine Source was dazzling.

These Elders had been arguing for a long time but still hadn’t figured out what was inside.

“Seniors, please don’t argue about this for now.

Take a look, what exactly is it?” Ye Fan was also observing, but the Divine Radiance was too intense.

He could only see a rough outline, unable to examine it in minute detail.

This was mainly because the creature inside the Divine Source was also very special, emitting a hazy glow that enveloped itself.

Vaguely, one could see a golden figure, resembling a Golden Snake or perhaps a small golden dragon, motionless.

“There’s no way a True Dragon exists in this world.

It should be a Flood Dragon or a horned Sacred Snake.” “Most likely a Golden Snake or some kind of Flood Dragon.” “Who says there are no True Dragons?

Perhaps it’s an infant Ancient dragon sealed in the Divine Source.” …

The opinions of the senior figures were quite divided, with each holding a different view.

The Divine Source was dazzling, illuminating the entire island and making the surrounding lake water shimmer with a crystalline, golden hue.

As for the Ancient Trees on the island, they were all bathed in a golden radiance.

Even their flower petals became sacred, shimmering with brilliant, translucent light.

Ye Fan remained silent, employing his Source Heaven Divine Sense for careful observation.

Two beams of purple light instantly shot from his eyes, penetrating the Divine Source.

This is… This was a Strange Technique from the Heavenly Source Book, capable of seeing through illusions and perceiving the origin.

Ye Fan clearly saw the creature inside, and he was greatly astonished.

A small creature, unable to move, was sealed inside.

But it was definitely alive.

Its bodily functions were slowly recovering, and a faint heartbeat began to sound.

It really looks like a dragon!

Ye Fan’s heart pounded, and he found it difficult to suppress his excitement.

This small creature was over half a foot long, curled up inside.

It had a golden dragon’s body and a pair of Dragon Horns on its head.

No, it doesn’t have Dragon Scales.

Ye Fan observed carefully, noticing that its body was smooth.

The golden surface was crystalline like jade, without a single Dragon Scale.

He soon calmed down and began to ponder seriously.

Then he noticed something unusual: the so-called golden Dragon Horns were actually fleshy and gleaming brightly.

A peculiar little dragon, a small Flood Dragon, or a small Golden Snake?

He was perplexed, unable to determine what it was.

What surprised him most was that the little creature’s eyes were very large and actually open.

They seemed innocent as they gazed back at him.

Its eyes are much larger than a dragon’s, and so luminous!

Ye Fan was at a loss for words.

This small creature seemed very human-like.

BANG!

At this moment, the Divine Source throbbed again.

It repeatedly tried to escape, as if frightened by the crowd of Elders.

Clearly, it wasn’t very powerful.

It struggled but couldn’t break free or flee.

“So cute!” the young nun in white, a loli, exclaimed, her large, clear eyes fixed on the Divine Source.

She didn’t seem to be affected by the Divine Radiance and could apparently see everything inside.

“Young Brother Gu Feng, Miao Yi truly hopes you can sell this Source to me,” An Miaoyi also approached, speaking softly, her fragrance like orchids and musk.

“Young Brother Gu Feng, using your Source Technique, can you tell what it is?” an old man asked.

Ye Fan shook his head.

At this point, he could only confirm that this small creature was not a vicious beast and seemed unlikely to harm anyone.

He extended his right hand, holding the Divine Source in his palm.

At that very moment, all the pores on his body opened, and the most fundamental enormous Qi of heaven and earth entered him, making his entire body feel exceptionally comfortable.

This was Divine Source.

Even unrefined, its uniqueness was palpable.

CRACK!

Suddenly, the Divine Source fractured.

The small golden creature struggled violently against its restraints, trying to burst out.

“Quick, set up Restrictions!

Seal this area tightly!” “Block it!

Don’t let it escape, whatever happens!” …

Everyone was startled.

The group of Elders acted swiftly, deploying layer after layer of light screens, sealing the area with countless barriers.

In the distance, other cultivators were even more agitated.

Some desperately pushed forward, creating a clamor as they tried to get a clear look.

Others, however, recoiled as if from snakes and scorpions, retreating rapidly for fear of being tainted by something.

“Newbies, why are you rushing forward so foolishly?

None of the Ancient creatures are benevolent!

If one truly emerges, rivers of blood will flow!” “Don’t you know?

The Ancient creatures unearthed in the past were all incredibly powerful and claimed many lives!” The moment such words were spoken, panic spread like wildfire.

All those who had been rushing forward froze in their tracks, then hastily retreated.

Flying was strictly forbidden within the Ji Family’s important grounds, but at this moment, people couldn’t care less about such rules.

Many soared into the air, distancing themselves from the scene.

Of course, a large number of people remained.

They didn’t leave; instead, they cautiously advanced a short distance, noticing that the senior figures had not retreated.

CRACK!

The Divine Source split open.

With a flash of golden light, the little creature burst out.

Everyone tensed up, for the terrifying might of Ancient creatures was world-shaking, and countless legends spoke of their ferocity.

Only Ye Fan remained relatively calm, for his Source Heaven Divine Sense told him that this little creature harbored no killing intent.

SWISH!

A golden shadow flashed past.

No one could stop it.

Not even Ye Fan’s Heaven Sealing and Earth Locking Skill, a renowned Source Technique, could restrain it.

It was unbelievably fast.

Fortunately, the area was sealed, so it couldn’t escape.

It hovered in mid-air, emitting a朦胧hazy golden glow.

“Heavens, is it really a dragon?!” By now, everyone could see it clearly.

It closely resembled a True Dragon, except it had no Dragon Scales.

Its body was like gold and jade, glistening brilliantly.

Of course, there were differences.

Its eyes were extraordinarily large and incredibly luminous, enough to make many women envious.

At this moment, its expression was very human-like.

It seemed a little scared, rather bewildered, and also somewhat innocent.

SWISH!

With another flash of golden light, it returned to rest within Ye Fan’s Palm Finger.

Many people gasped.

It was simply too fast; some senior figures hadn’t even had time to react.

CRACK!

This little creature’s body was very small, only a little over half a foot long, yet it bit off a fist-sized chunk of Divine Source.

I…

Ye Fan’s expression changed instantly.

He wanted to snatch the Divine Source back, but the little thing swallowed the piece in one gulp.

It was too late.

Its tiny body didn’t swell in the slightest.

It remained unchanged, still so exquisite, enveloped in a hazy golden light.

“I could weep!

It swallowed 50,000 catties of Source in one bite!” Li Heishui wailed, his mouth agape.

Ye Fan quickly flicked his hand, trying to shake the little thing off.

But it reacted with extreme speed, took another bite—CRACK—and another fist-sized piece of Divine Source vanished.

“One hundred thousand catties of Source, gone!” Ye Fan’s mouth twitched.

This time, he finally managed to fling the little creature away and quickly stored the Divine Source.

“This is outrageous!

It devoured 100,000 catties of Source in the blink of an eye!” Li Heishui’s heart was bleeding, and he howled in anguish from the palpable loss.

In the distance, the others were also dumbfounded.

This little thing was too extravagant!

It had just emerged, and with two bites, it had consumed 100,000 catties of Source.

Two-fifths of this Divine Source had been eaten by it.

One could say it was the epitome of extravagance.

Ye Fan flipped his hand, reaching for the little creature, intending to restrain and capture it.

However, this creature was incredibly fast.

With a flash of golden light, it instantly appeared in mid-air.

“You little wastrel!

That’s Divine Source!

How could you do that?!” Li Heishui yelled at the sky.

In the distance, a clamor arose.

Everyone was shocked and began to discuss animatedly.

Dark lines also appeared on Ye Fan’s forehead.

It truly wasn’t worth it.

So much Divine Source had been devoured by this little creature in an instant, causing him waves of heartache as well.

Yet, at this moment, the little thing in mid-air displayed an extremely human-like expression.

It looked terribly wronged, its big eyes brimming with tears as it pitifully stared at Ye Fan’s hand, seemingly searching for that piece of Divine Source.

It was as if it was saying, “That Divine Source is mine!” Its current appearance made it impossible for anyone to harbor killing intent.

It only evoked feelings of pity and sympathy, especially its large eyes, which were devastatingly effective against females.

“You ate 100,000 catties of my Source!

Please don’t look at me like that, okay?” Ye Fan said, pinching out a bean-sized piece of Divine Source and beckoning to the creature, trying to lure it down and capture it.

Unexpectedly, the little creature pouted, its luminous eyes wide.

It clenched one tiny claw into a small fist and揮动shook it downwards vigorously.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

This little creature was remarkably human-like and could understand human speech.

Ye Fan quickly made his move, reaching towards the sky to grab it.

SWISH!

With a flash of golden light, it began to flee, flying into the distance.

At the same time, other senior figures also took action, preparing to capture it alive.

Everyone wanted to know what exactly this was.

They desired to understand it, and only by capturing it could they find out.

With so many people making a move, even though the little creature was extremely fast, it couldn’t possibly evade them all.

It seemed very panicked, its large eyes filled with fear.

In its haste to escape, it flew down recklessly with a SWOOSH.

“AH!” The young nun in white cried out in surprise as the panicked little creature bumped into her shoulder.

It was a very peculiar scene.

The small golden creature landed on the shoulder of the young nun in white, one tiny claw clutching a lock of her silky hair, its expression timid.

And the young nun in white was also startled, looking somewhat afraid.

Two pairs of large eyes, almost identical: one pair, bright and timid; the other, fluttering and frightened.

Both looked utterly pitiful.

“Quick, grab it!” “Don’t let it escape!” “Little Sister, make your move quickly!” Nearby, many people were shouting such things.

However, the young nun in white stared at the little thing on her shoulder, her big eyes blinking.

Gradually, her fear subsided, and she didn’t make a move.

The little creature, as if sensing it was out of danger, boldly shifted its position slightly and looked at the surrounding people with a wronged expression.

“Don’t attack,” Ye Fan said.

“This little thing isn’t dangerous.

It has no killing intent.

It’s different from ordinary Ancient creatures.” Although he said this, the golden little creature didn’t seem to appreciate it.

It looked at Ye Fan indignantly, pointing a tiny claw at him in silent accusation, its large eyes welling up with tears.

No matter how one looked at it, it seemed as if Ye Fan had committed some heinous crime that made it feel incredibly wronged.

Ye Fan was speechless for a moment.

He looked at it for a while before saying, “Don’t stare at me like that.

I was the one who rescued you from the stone.” “Brother Gu, this little creature is fated with my younger sister.

You must sell it to us,” the Prince of Great Xia spoke with utmost sincerity.

Ye Fan didn’t say anything.

He couldn’t respond at that moment because countless divine scans were transmitting messages to him, all expressing their desire to buy this small golden creature.

“Quickly observe the surrounding stones.

See if any of them show anomalies,” Ye Fan transmitted to Li Heishui.

“What are you planning to do?” Li Heishui asked, puzzled.

“I suspect the real Stone King hasn’t been found yet,” Ye Fan replied.

At this moment, everyone was pushing forward, trying to get a closer look at this little thing.

All were eager to know what it was.

“What exactly is this creature?” many people questioned.

“Indeed.

It doesn’t look like a True Dragon, nor a Flood Dragon.

Even its horns are fleshy.

And those big eyes are just too luminous.” The Guardian of the Ji Family’s Stone Garden, an old man with skin like white jade, stepped forward, his expression grave.

“Could this be…”
