Checking in for 100,000 Years

Chapter 824: Chapter 824: The Suppressed Egg

”Brother, this monk is too arrogant, he actually dares to threaten you!”

Little Seven glared angrily.

”Senior, this monk’s attitude is outrageously brazen, we cannot let him stay!”

Emperor Heimang’s gaze was sharp, with black light surging from his hands, filled with terrifying killing intent.

Ye Yun waved his hand.

”Initially, I wanted to take his life, but now it seems, I’ll keep him around a bit longer...”

Ye Yun said with a smile.

”Brother, why spare his life?”

Little Seven asked puzzled.

”Keeping him alive is to let him see the future—how I will deal with the Evil Buddha Sect of the Divine Land!”

Ye Yun chuckled lightly.

He bore no good impressions on the Evil Buddha Sect, which had committed countless evil deeds, wanting nothing more than to eliminate them as soon as possible.

The Evil Buddha Sect successors on the Cangnan Continent were scarce, and by killing this red-robed monk before him, there would be no successors left alive.

Meanwhile, on the Divine Land side, there were still remnants of the Evil Buddha Sect lurking.

He intended to uproot them.

Ye Yun kept this monk alive to let him witness firsthand how he would act.

”Hmph! You lad are too arrogant! The Evil Buddha Sect in Divine Land is full of strong experts, not something your cultivation base can contend with... I advise you to let me go now, as Buddha is always compassionate, and this humble monk might choose not to hold a grudge against you!”

The red-robed monk sneered.

”Such a foolish being!”

Ye Yun sneered.

A slap was sent flying out, striking the red-robed monk’s left and right cheek with a ”smack”.

The red-robed monk became dizzy, and fainted after enduring only two seconds.

Ye Yun stretched out his hand, a beam of light fell and took the red-robed monk away.

”Come, Little Seven, let’s continue exploring the Black Divine Sect’s relics...”

After taking the red-robed monk away, Ye Yun gently rubbed Little Seven’s head, speaking warmly.

”Brother, what exactly is that great demon the monk mentioned?”

Little Seven smiled and asked.

Ye Yun said, ”It’s the Buddha Flame Root.”

”Buddha Flame Root? I’ve never heard of it!”

Little Seven shook his head.

Emperor Heimang at the side, was displaying a shocked expression.

”I didn’t expect... that deep beneath my Black Divine Sect, there would actually be the legendary Buddha Flame Root?”

Emperor Heimang exclaimed in shock.

”Heimang, has there ever been a Buddha Flame Root appearing on the Cangnan Continent a million years ago?”

Ye Yun asked with a smile.

”A million years ago, a Buddha Flame Root indeed appeared, its cultivation base extremely powerful, causing a massive calamity at the time...”

Emperor Heimang sighed.

”A single Buddha Flame Root, causing a massive calamity?”

Ye Yun asked in surprise.

”This Buddha Flame Root, with low spirit wisdom, never transforms into human form in its lifetime, completely different from ordinary monsters. It possesses great vitality, loves devouring various rare treasures, continually evolving, making it extremely difficult to kill. Over a million years ago, countless strong individuals combined efforts to almost wipe out the Buddha Flame Root...”

Emperor Heimang recalled, his expression serious.

Ye Yun nodded.

This part of history regarding the Buddha Flame Root, he had never heard of, considering it to be far too ancient.

”Senior, there might be some rare treasures deep underground! Otherwise, the Buddha Flame Root wouldn’t emit so much Yuan Qi from its end...”

Emperor Heimang gazed downward, expressing curiosity and doubt.

”We’ll find out simply by taking a look.”

Ye Yun smiled lightly, grabbing Little Seven’s hand and descending.

Landing amongst the Blood Crystal Grass.

That green vine laid on the ground.

Feeling the powerful Super Divine Dragon Breath, the green vine abruptly stood up like a serpent.

The vine’s head pointed directly at Emperor Heimang.

”It seems quite interested in you!”

Ye Yun laughed.

Emperor Heimang: ...

Feeling awkward, Emperor Heimang suddenly reached out his hand to grab the green vine.

The green vine dodged to the side, moving as fast as lightning.

Nevertheless, it still couldn’t evade Emperor Heimang’s palm, getting caught directly.

”Get out!”

Emperor Heimang tugged forcefully, pulling the green vine out quite a bit.

Snap!

The green vine broke in response.

The remaining part of the green vine unexpectedly retracted back into the soil, disappearing completely.

Emperor Heimang threw the broken piece of vine on the ground, gazing around in amazement, muttering, ”Senior, isn’t the Buddha Flame Root’s behavior rather strange, why doesn’t it attack us?”

”This time it’s Little Seven’s trial, and I didn’t use Divine Sense either. Perhaps there’s something valuable hidden deep beneath your Black Divine Sect?”

Ye Yun laughed and asked.

”Something valuable?” Emperor Heimang clapped his forehead, suddenly exclaimed, ”Senior, I just remembered something!”

”What matter?”

”A million years ago, I acquired a strange egg.

This egg contains an unknown creature, fond of absorbing Yuan Qi from human bodies. Not only did it consume many rare treasures, it caused severe Yuan Qi depletion among many cultivators of my Black Divine Sect, deemed as a bad omen by the sect’s high ranks. In a fit of rage, I sealed the egg deep underground...”

Emperor Heimang said solemnly.

”An egg that actively absorbs Yuan Qi?”

Ye Yun murmured, showing a highly intrigued expression.

Little Seven nonchalantly asked, ”Emperor Heimang, it’s been a million years, I suppose that egg is long dead now?”

”It’s hard to say, I don’t know whether that mysterious egg has died...”

Emperor Heimang sighed.

With a thought arising, Emperor Heimang frowned, slightly terrified, ”Senior, would this egg have possibly hatched into the Buddha Flame Root?”

”How could it be the Buddha Flame Root? The Buddha Flame Root is a plant, it isn’t egg-born!”

Ye Yun burst into laughter.

”Let’s go, we’ll delve deeper underground to see what’s going on!”

Ye Yun waved his sleeve, a beam of light enveloped the three, instantly going underground.

Deep underground.

The root system of the Buddha Flame Root, labyrinthine-like, extended far and wide, spanning millions of miles, leaving one completely clueless as to where its main root lies.

”What massive roots...”

Little Seven stared at the roots thicker than a person, astonished, unable to close his mouth.

”Disproportioned between aboveground and underground...”

Ye Yun chuckled lightly, touching a root with his hand, strangely finding no reaction from it.

As if devoid of Spirit Wisdom.

Nonetheless,

This vast root system, too, emitted thick Yuan Qi, inhaling a mouthful, indeed lifted one’s spirits.

”Senior, not far ahead should be the place I sealed that egg...”

Emperor Heimang pointed out, cautiously reminding.

”Mm!”

Ye Yun nodded.

This root system of the Buddha Flame Root had not only permeated the entire Black Divine Sect relic, but potentially spread over millions of kilometers beyond the relic, too.

No doubt, the Buddha Flame Root could be counted as a formidable anomaly of the universe.

Ye Yun quickened his pace, the three quickly reaching the spot where Emperor Heimang sealed the egg.

Amidst the soil, a black nine-story pagoda, towering thousand zhang high, shot up into the sky.

Such an enormous nine-story pagoda, now covered with all sorts of robust roots, coiled around like flood dragons, firmly entrenched atop the black pagoda.

Roots coiled like dragons drilled into the earth from the nine-story pagoda.

”What? The Buddha Flame Root invaded that egg?”

Emperor Heimang’s face changed instantly upon witnessing the scene before him.
