Checking in for 100,000 Years

Chapter 596: Chapter 596: Flower of The Divine

Ye Yun looked at the red little flower and couldn’t help but laugh. According to what was said 100,000 years ago, this is the Flower of The Divine. Born from the blood of a fallen Spirit, it is a very high-quality Divine Medicine. It can be used to refine all kinds of elixirs and is extremely versatile.

A hundred thousand years ago, the Flower of The Divine was an exceedingly rare artifact; if an Eternal Level force encountered one Flower of The Divine, they would most likely fight fiercely over it.

At this moment, with a wave of Ye Yun’s hand, the vibrant red flower disappeared from the hollow. The next moment, the red flower reappeared in Ye Yun’s hands.

”Strange, can this flower also use escape techniques?”

The old Demon Clan Elder had just landed in the hollow and discovered that the flower was gone, causing him to gasp in surprise. He stood in the hollow and released his Divine Sense, constantly searching, his expression extremely focused. The Demon Clan troop he had brought also landed and began looking around.

”Su Jinx, this is the Flower of The Divine. Keep it well!” Ye Yun smiled faintly and casually handed the red flower to Su Jinx.

”Brother, this... isn’t this too precious?” Su Jinx’s face turned slightly red; she appeared overwhelmed and didn’t dare to take it.

Su Mountain’s eyes, however, lit up. This white-garbed young master actually gave my daughter a flower! He must like my daughter to do such a thing. It seems I’ll need to play matchmaker for the two of them in the future.

”Take it,” Ye Yun explained with a smile. ”This Flower of The Divine has nine petals. You can pluck one each time you refine medicine. When you are about to break through the Life and Death Realm, you can take one directly. It will make it easier for you to break the boundary.”

”Oh... Thank you, Brother...” Taking the red Flower of The Divine, Su Jinx blushed and stuttered for a moment.

”Girl, accept the young master’s kind intentions. Quickly put it away,” Su Mountain, ever experienced, hurriedly persuaded Su Jinx to accept it. After all, Ye Yun’s skillful methods just now had gone unnoticed by anyone. He had his daughter quickly put the Flower of The Divine away before it could attract the greed of the Demon Clan.

Su Jinx understood and immediately stored it in her storage ring.

”Sigh! My luck is truly terrible. It seems next time I need to be quicker. I absolutely must not give it a chance to escape!” The old Demon Clan Elder from a distance didn’t find the Flower of The Divine; he stomped his feet and beat his chest, so angry that his beard curled. After throwing a fit, he continued to fly forward with his men. After all, this small world was immensely vast, and many opportunities awaited them in the distance.

Not long after, the Demon Clan forces began to splinter, forming different small teams that flew off in various directions. The people from the Zhao Family did the same. This expanse of Ancient Ruins was vast; splitting up would yield better results. Who knew, someone might get lucky and obtain an Emperor artifact or a Divine Artifact. That would be hitting the jackpot.

”Let’s get going,” Ye Yun smiled, taking the lead and flying forward. Su Mountain and Su Jinx followed closely behind.

Upon arriving at these ruins, Ye Yun naturally no longer needed to lead the way; he acted according to his own inclinations. Even while flying with the father and daughter of the Su family, Ye Yun’s vast Divine Sense constantly monitored these dozens of forces. He didn’t want them to get their hands on the Flower of The Divine. A Divine Medicine that even an Eternal Sect would fight to the death over was not something these insignificant Life and Death Realm and Destiny Realm Demon Clan members deserved. Even if they obtained it, it would only bring disaster upon themselves.

So, whenever someone discovered a Flower of The Divine and had just landed, they would find that the Flower of The Divine had mysteriously disappeared. This made countless people stomp their feet in frustration. Especially that old Demon Clan Elder; after seeing several Flowers of The Divine vanish before his very eyes one after another, he was so enraged he spat out a mouthful of old blood. He was old and cunning; even if he didn’t know the name of this Flower of The Divine, he knew this small red flower was definitely a Wushang Divine Medicine.

All the Flowers of The Divine that disappeared in the distance were collected by Ye Yun, who quietly handed them all to Su Jinx. The Su family were descendants of his senior Disciple, Su Qi. Ye Yun’s main purpose for this visit was to look after Su Qi’s descendants. These Flowers of The Divine were merely appetizers. Before leaving, Ye Yun would naturally provide the Su family with a generous gift.

”Brother, I can’t accept any more of these Flowers of The Divine! I’ve already received more than a dozen. They’re far too precious...” Su Jinx’s heart pounded, her beautiful face an exceptional shade of red, like a shy water lily. Under Ye Yun’s continuous gifting, the young maiden Su Jinx finally couldn’t bear it any longer.

Ye Yun spread his hands and said with a casual smile, ”These Flowers of The Divine—even if you don’t use them all in your lifetime, you can pass them on to your descendants...”

His words were so blatant that Su Jinx blushed furiously, stammering and unable to speak.

Su Shan thought to himself with amusement, It seems this young master truly has feelings for my daughter! He’s even thinking about future descendants... This young master in white, although part of the Demon Clan, holds a noble status, and his power is unfathomable. Just now, from such a distance, he managed to pick the Flower of The Divine unnoticed from among many powerful demons. That Divine Skill alone demonstrates the young master’s might. If this young master could form an alliance with the Su family through marriage, it would be more than he could ever ask for. With the Demon Clan as a powerful backing, not even a Supreme Sect like the Water Dragon Sect in the entire Jiangchuan Dynasty would dare to trouble them.

Ye Yun was unaware of Su Shan’s thoughts. If he knew, he would probably die of embarrassment.

Since members of the Demon Clan and the Zhao family were exploring ahead, Ye Yun and the other two flew leisurely. Until now, no Emperor artifacts or God level weapons or treasures had appeared. Occasionally, if Emperor Level weapons that hadn’t been vaporized to dust were found, Ye Yun didn’t intervene, letting those people take them.

「 」

Suddenly, above the island where the Su family was located, lights flickered, and several powerful Life and Death Realm cultivators appeared.

”It’s here!” An Elder in black clothes, a powerhouse at the Fifth Level of Life-Death Realm, landed immediately.

”Alas, Elder Liu indeed fell here...” Upon seeing the mutilated corpse in the woods, the Elder in black couldn’t help but reveal a towering killing intent in his eyes.

”Who has the audacity to kill an Elder of my Water Dragon Sect?” The Elder in black raged, his fury erupting like a volcano.

CRACK! CRACK...

A powerful torrent of air instantly flattened all the trees in a hundred-mile radius.

”Could it be the Su family?” someone beside him suggested.

”The Su family doesn’t have this strength. Besides, would they dare?” The Elder in black snorted coldly. His powerful Divine Sense swept out, discovering that the Clan Leader of the Su family was not in the residence. He looked into the distance again and found that the powerhouses of the Zhao family had also mobilized in full force.

”The Clan Leaders of both the Su and Zhao families are not on their islands. Could they have gone to that Spirit Stone Mine?” another person suggested.

The Elder in black frowned, waved his hand to collect Elder Liu’s body, and said with a solemn face, ”That must be it. That Spirit Stone Mine has caused a dispute between the two great families. It seems its quality is indeed extraordinary. Let’s go and take a look.”

”Okay!” everyone agreed and took to the skies, heading towards the waters where the Spirit Stone Mine was located.

After they dove into the water, the group was surprised to find that the Spirit Stones had been completely mined.

”What on earth is going on?” The Elder in black had a gloomy face; his instincts told him something was very amiss.

They didn’t linger, flying through the tunnel deep underground until they finally discovered a massive, mysterious black hole. The Elder in black stood at the entrance of the hole, peered inside, and his face immediately registered utter shock. Underneath this Spirit Stone Mine, there’s actually a small world—an expanse of Ancient Ruins!

”Elder Qi, return to the Sect immediately and report this to the Sect Master! I will lead my men to explore these Ancient Ruins now!” the Elder in black ordered coldly. He then entered the black hole with several Life-Death Realm Powerhouses under his command.

Another middle-aged man, a cultivator at the Level one of Life and Death Realm, went the opposite way, exiting the water via the tunnel and heading straight for the Water Dragon Sect.
