Checking in for 100,000 Years

Chapter 871: Chapter 871: Flame Gold Beetle

”So, have you made up your mind? Even if you don’t tell me, I have ways to find the lair of your Gold-eating Spirit Beetles!”

Ye Yun said calmly.

Hearing these words, the old man in gold felt a tightness in his heart and hurriedly replied, ”Don’t kill me, I’ll talk!”

”Speak!”

”We, the Gold-eating Spirit Beetles, live in the Sky-reach Nest, which is very far from here. I can take you there...”

The old man in gold said anxiously.

”Sky-reach Nest?”

Ye Yun raised his eyebrows slightly and said in an unquestionable tone, ”Take me there!”

The old man in gold showed a pleading expression and said mournfully, ”I can certainly take you there, but could you spare my life?”

”You are not qualified to bargain with me.”

Ye Yun’s voice turned cold.

The old man’s face changed dramatically, and he had a bad feeling in his heart.

He knew very well that if he didn’t lead the way to the Sky-reach Nest now, he would probably die on the spot.

If he went to the Sky-reach Nest, he still had a glimmer of hope.

After all, inside the Sky-reach Nest, there were many clan members of the Gold-eating Spirit Beetles.

The cultivation of those clan members far exceeded his own.

”But I’m afraid that if I take her there, she will suddenly turn against me when we get close...”

This thought also emerged in the old man’s mind.

As soon as this thought came up, he immediately felt a sense of overwhelming fear.

Ye Yun let go of his hand.

The old man in gold fell from mid-air, regaining his freedom.

”Senior, if you don’t mind me saying, back in the day, I was expelled from the Sky-reach Nest. Going back now, who knows what kind of punishment I might face, or if I’ll even return...”

The old man in gold bowed low, pleading pitifully.

”What do you want to say?”

Ye Yun asked calmly.

This Ancestor of Gold-Metalling Worm, being exiled, was indeed unexpected to him.

”I need to say goodbye to my Dao companion...”

After hesitating for a few seconds, the old man’s body trembled slightly as he spoke softly.

”Dao companion?”

Ye Yun raised an eyebrow and, feeling amused, nodded and said, ”Go ahead.”

”Thank you, Senior!”

The old man in gold clasped his hands together in gratitude, turned around, and flew towards the ancestral shrine.

Ye Yun stood in the void, standing still, waiting quietly.

A small Ancestor of Gold-Metalling Worm couldn’t stir up any waves in front of him.

A light flew over and landed in front of Ye Yun.

It was Jin Gui.

”Gu Anran, all the sins are mine alone, they have nothing to do with my entire clan. I beg you, please spare their lives!”

Jin Gui knelt at Ye Yun’s feet, crying bitterly, with a face full of sorrow.

”Ha, are you not coveting my three divine-level treasures anymore?”

Ye Yun’s eyes flickered as he asked mockingly.

”I wouldn’t dare, I won’t dare ever again!”

Jin Gui said with a mournful face.

Even the ancestor wasn’t a match, he dared not give it another thought.

Now, his only hope was to exchange his death for the continuation of the entire clan of Gold Devouring Beetle.

”You’ve already died once, and now you’re just at the Life and Death Realm. To cultivate to the tenth level of the Eternal Realm, it would take thousands of years without a doubt...”

Ye Yun looked at Jin Gui and smiled faintly, ”At this point, whether I kill you or not, what’s the point?”

”Senior, does that mean you’re going to spare our Clan of Gold Devouring Beetle?”

Jin Gui raised his head with some surprise and asked.

”You ants are not worth me taking action...”

Ye Yun said calmly.

”Thank you, Senior!”

Jin Gui bowed repeatedly, tears of excitement streaming down again.

He didn’t expect that he and his entire clan had escaped a disaster.

Ye Yun ignored Jin Gui and turned his gaze towards the direction of the ancestral shrine.

This small clan of Gold Devouring Beetle wasn’t worth him taking action to suppress.

His real target was the Gold-eating Spirit Beetle inside the Sky-reach Nest.

Behind the ancestral shrine.

The earth churned, and a crystal-clear Original Stone emerged.

Inside the Original Stone, a beautiful woman in a golden robe was sealed.

Upon seeing this woman, Ye Yun’s expression changed slightly.

This woman looked unfamiliar, but her robe was embroidered with a vivid Golden Dragon.

The design of this Golden Dragon was identical to the emblem on the robes of the disciples of the Dragon God Sect.

”Flame Gold Beetle?”

Ye Yun’s eyes narrowed, penetrating through the Original Stone to see the true form of the woman in the golden robe.

Her true form was, indeed, a Flame Gold Beetle.

Ye Yun’s eyes flickered, becoming profound at this moment.

Ten thousand years ago.

The Dragon God Sect kept many demon beasts, including the Flame Gold Beetle.

Could it be that the Flame Gold Beetle inside this Original Stone was once raised by the Dragon God Sect?

And this Flame Gold Beetle was the Dao companion of the Gold-eating Spirit Beetle...

Thinking of this.

Ye Yun nodded with a smile, having understood the origin of the Clan of Gold Devouring Beetle.

This Ancestor of Gold-Metalling Worm became a Dao companion with a Flame Gold Beetle of the Dragon God Sect, thus creating the Clan of Gold Devouring Beetle.

”How interesting, no wonder this Gold-eating Spirit Beetle was exiled...”

Ye Yun gave a faint smile.

The Flame Gold Beetle transformed into a woman inside the Original Stone, in terms of life level, could not compare to the Gold-eating Spirit Beetle from the Divine Land, and her vitality was declining rapidly, with not much life left.

”Xiuer, I must return to the Sky-reach Nest. This journey back has its risks, so I must bid you farewell in advance...”

The old man in gold reached out and gently stroked the Original Stone, whispering tenderly.

Inside the Original Stone.

The woman in the golden robe suddenly opened her eyes.

”My lifespan is running out, with less than three years left. If you leave, I won’t want to live on...”

The woman in the golden robe said, her old eyes filled with endless sorrow.

”Alas, I’m useless, I’ve only extended your life for such a short time...”

The old man in gold said sorrowfully.

”Elder Brother Zhong, you’ve used your own Essence Blood to extend my life, allowing me to live for tens of thousands of years more, experiencing so much in these years, I’ve lived enough!”

The woman in the golden robe sighed.

”If I miraculously survive this time, I’ll try to find a way to extend your life from the Sky-reach Nest!”

Stroking the crystal-clear Original Stone as if caressing the woman’s face, the old man in gold said with tears and a determined look.

”With your status, what could you do even if you return to the Sky-reach Nest? Don’t do anything useless...”

The woman in the golden robe sighed, gazing into the distance with a wistful, dreamy look, ”Back then, you stopped me from investigating the real culprit behind the destruction of the Dead Divine Dragon Sect. Now I’m almost dead, can’t you tell me the truth?”

Hearing these words, Ye Yun in the distance was also stunned.

He didn’t expect this Flame Gold Beetle raised by the Dragon God Sect to want to investigate the mastermind behind the scenes.

With her small cultivation base, what could she do against the mastermind?

But still, having such a thought, Ye Yun was quite moved.

”I don’t know either, the Dragon God Sect is a forbidden force, even in our tribe, it’s a taboo topic, so I wouldn’t let you investigate...”

The old man in gold smiled bitterly.

”Alas!”

The woman in the golden robe sighed again, gently clenched her fist, and said with frustration, ”Ten thousand years ago, our Dragon God Sect was powerful and glorious, ranked first among the Eternal Sects, what a sight it was?

If not for the inexplicable fall of our Sect Master, would our Dragon God Sect have suffered such a disaster?”
