Checking in for 100,000 Years

Chapter 740: Chapter 740: 9 Divine Gates

”This Golden Dragon Stone Statue has stood guard here alone for a hundred thousand years. It’s not much use anymore...” Ye Yun mused.

He pointed downwards.

Beneath the Golden Dragon Stone Statue was the outlet for the Peach Blossom Pond’s spring water. He placed a small sealing formation there, slowing the gush of the spring water.

「At the same time.」

The Golden Dragon Stone Statue in the Peach Blossom Pond mysteriously vanished.

”Hmm?”

Lu Dayou’s hand froze in mid-air as he stared incredulously at the Peach Blossom Pond. The Golden Dragon Stone Statue had vanished the moment he made a move! How could that be? It was too bizarre!

Lu Zhenshan’s face lit up with wild joy.

”Haha, Dayou! You truly are a child of destiny! You’ve really saved our Lu Clan this time!” Lu Zhenshan boomed with laughter.

His hearty laughter rolled like waves, shaking the nearby peach trees, causing petals to fall like a colorful shower. For a moment, the air was filled with falling blossoms.

”I...”

Lu Dayou was also baffled. He scratched his head and chuckled sheepishly.

”Without the suppression of the Golden Dragon Stone Statue, our Lu Clan’s fortune will surely allow us to brew the Nine Grades Shaohua wine in the brewing competition seven days from now! That way, we can finally report our success to the Changhe Immortal Palace!”

Lu Zhenshan squinted, stroking his chin and laughing.

”Clan Leader, will the emissaries from the Changhe Immortal Palace also attend the brewing competition?” Lu Dayou asked.

”If we can brew the Nine Grades Shaohua wine, they will naturally appear,” Lu Zhenshan replied, smiling.

Lu Dayou nodded, his expression easing.

The mysterious disappearance of the Golden Dragon Stone Statue was indeed extremely strange; perhaps it indicated that the Lu Clan’s luck was genuinely improving.

The two chatted and laughed as they walked away from the Peach Blossom Pond.

「Inside the carriage.」

It seems I will be participating in this brewing competition... Ye Yun’s eyes flashed as he suddenly made a decision.

In fact, Ye Yun had already considered this when he took the Golden Dragon Stone Statue. There were many master brewers in the world, but none could brew Nine Grades Shaohua. Neither could Ye Yun himself. However, he could cheat. He mustn’t forget that he could use the Sky Exterminating Phantom Eye to create illusions. Moreover, he was the only person in the world who had tasted the ninth-grade wine, so he was naturally familiar with the unique aroma of that fine wine. Therefore, with his firsthand experience, the illusions Ye Yun created would be incredibly realistic, and no one would discover the truth.

A black carriage soared through the air.

As he left the Heavenly Sun Dynasty, anyone who had seen Ye Yun became inexplicably dazed, certain memories in their minds erased without anyone noticing.

For Ye Yun, at the Divine Sovereign Realm, erasing memories on such a large scale was easy.

Upon entering the Plough Heaven Dynasty.

The carriage slowed down, leisurely heading towards Langya Mountain.

「By the sixth day.」

The carriage was already a hundred li from the foot of Langya Mountain.

”You all just wait here,” Ye Yun said, lifting the door curtain and stepping out to address the demon beasts.

”Yes, Master,” the demon beasts hurriedly nodded in agreement.

”Master, you’ve never taken me out with you before, have you? How about letting me broaden my horizons this time?” the Ruyi Jade Spider said with a smile.

”Alright!” Ye Yun agreed after a moment’s thought.

The Ruyi Jade Spider’s cultivation speed was incredibly fast; in just a few days, it had reached the True God Realm Tenth Layer Peak.

It was only a thin sheet of paper away from breaking through to the Divine Monarch Realm.

It wasn’t just the Ruyi Jade Spider.

From the time they entered the Immortal Pond until about half a month ago, the juniors of the Divine Dragon Sect and some demon beasts had all achieved breakthroughs with the help of the Divine Soil Spirit Stones.

Even Little Seven had advanced from the Shaping God Realm First Level to the Fifth Layer of Spirit Formation Realm, a rather quick progression.

Although Ye Yun went alone, he left a clone to accompany Little Seven.

This little girl was extremely hardworking in her cultivation, taking almost no rest, which pleased Ye Yun greatly.

The three juniors of the Dragon God Sect whom Ye Yun cared about most had also made great strides in their cultivation, advancing by leaps and bounds.

Jun Moxiao reached Heavenly Fate Realm Level 5.

Luo Li and Su Wanyi reached the Fourth Level of the Heavenly Fate Realm.

Mu Qing and Big Black Cat reached the mid-stage of Level Three of Life and Death.

Mao Bao’er reached the Destiny Realm Second Layer Peak.

As for the little Sky-boring Rat, Ye Yun had also rewarded it with Spirit Stones. Recently, the Sky-boring Rat had also broken through to Level Three of the Life and Death Realm.

As for the great demons of the Eternal Realm:

Big Black Horse advanced to the Eternal Realm Sixth Level.

Bloody Overlord Demonic Dragon advanced to the Eternal Realm Ninth Level.

Xuan Bird and Nether Blood Green Wooden Dragon advanced to the Eternal Realm Third Level.

The Immortal Divine Silkworm remained the same; after reaching the Divine Sovereign Realm, its progress had slowed.

Azure Sea Heavenly Dragon reached the peak of the Second Layer of God Monarch Stage, just one step away from the God Monarch Realm third layer.

Seeing these breakthroughs, Ye Yun felt very happy.

Once these juniors were strong enough, he could leave the Cangnan Continent with peace of mind.

As for the Dark Ancient Demonic Dragon and The Saint of Eight Extremes, Ye Yun hadn’t given them Spirit Stones, so their realms hadn’t changed much.

”Thank you so much, Master, hehe!” The Ruyi Jade Spider smiled, transformed into a cute little girl, and hopped over to Ye Yun’s side. She placed her small hands behind her back and grinned, saying no more.

The Saint of Eight Extremes wore an unnatural expression. Looking at Ye Yun, he awkwardly asked, ”Senior, I also wish to join the Dragon God Sect. Would you accept me?”

”Why is that?” Ye Yun asked, amused.

”I’ve seen that the seniors and fellow Daoists of the Dragon God Sect cultivate at an astonishing speed. After inquiring, I learned they possess a kind of Spirit Stone with Divine Nature...” The Saint of Eight Extremes rubbed his hands, his old face flushing red.

Naturally, he also wanted to achieve rapid breakthroughs, but not being a member of the Dragon God Sect, he had always felt too awkward to ask.

After enduring it for several days, The Saint of Eight Extremes could no longer resist the burning desire in his heart and finally spoke up.

Ye Yun sighed lightly and said, ”Little Kai! Your talent is quite good; you have the potential of a sect master. It would be a bit of a pity if you were to join my Dragon God Sect...”

”Senior, what is my meager talent worth? Compared to seniors like Elder Ruyi and Elder Immortal Divine Silkworm, it’s completely insignificant!” The Saint of Eight Extremes said with a wry smile.

He used to be extremely conceited, but after being poisoned once, that arrogance had long since vanished.

The Saint of Eight Extremes knew very well that senior Demon Clan members like the Immortal Divine Silkworm and the Ruyi Jade Spider possessed far greater talent than him.

Such powerful Demon Clan seniors were willing to be demon beasts of the Dragon God Sect. He was just a common martial artist; what made him so noble?

After much deliberation, The Saint of Eight Extremes had made his decision: he wanted to join the Dragon God Sect.

”Alright then,” Ye Yun said after some thought. ”For now, you can be an Outer Disciple of the Dragon God Sect. However, I still hope that in the future, you can go out, establish your own sect, and carve out your own domain!”

”Senior, the Dragon God Sect is so powerful, why would I need to establish my own sect?” The Saint of Eight Extremes said with a bitter smile.

”Very well...” After hesitating for a few seconds, Ye Yun finally nodded in agreement.

Although The Saint of Eight Extremes did not possess the Dragon God Bloodline, his earnest sincerity was commendable, and Ye Yun didn’t want to extinguish his enthusiasm.

If the Eight Extremes Divine Art, created by The Saint of Eight Extremes, were passed down within the Dragon God Sect, it would also strengthen the disciples of the Dragon God Sect.

Having him instruct the disciples of the Dragon God Sect in the cultivation of the Eight Extremes Divine Art in the future would also be a good thing.

”Little Kai! I’ve studied the Eight Extremes Divine Art for some time and made some modifications to enhance its quality. I’ll pass it on to you now!” Ye Yun said with a slight smile, reaching out and pointing his finger.

A flash of light shot out, entering the mind of The Saint of Eight Extremes.

”This...”

The moment he saw the brand-new Eight Extremes Divine Art in his mind, The Saint of Eight Extremes was stunned.

The Saint of Eight Extremes trembled all over. He was shocked to discover that the original Eight Extremes Divine Art involved opening Eight Divine Gates.

However, the new Eight Extremes Divine Art opened an additional Divine Gate. In total, there were now nine Divine Gates!
