Checking in for 100,000 Years

Chapter 1036: Chapter 1036: My Mother Once Told Me...

”You’re quite the Yin and Yang Old Ghost, daring to take advantage of the situation!”

The dragon-like mountain shook in unison, dust and smoke filled the air, and amidst the deafening roar, came an angry shout from the Yin Yang Refining Virtual Dragon.

Whoosh!

The rampant Yin and Yang Storm suddenly materialized without warning from the void, sweeping away all the Celestial Boats that had charged to the front.

The cultivators on the Celestial Boats were utterly powerless against the storm and were instantly blown away with the boats.

After being blown away, they were scattered in all directions.

The Yin Yang Refining Virtual Dragon, in a fit of rage, crafted the Yin and Yang Storm, which was absolutely beyond the resistance of these people.

In that moment, some weaker cultivators perished on the spot.

So many forces, initially thinking of heading to the Dragon Mountains to seek great fortune, were caught empty-handed.

The unexpected Yin and Yang Storm shattered everyone’s dreams.

...

Whoosh!

A giant dragon claw suddenly stretched down from mid-air.

This was a true dragon claw, its dragon scales glimmering with a ghostly red light, the claw sharp like a divine weapon.

If it fell, it was feared the entire Yin Yang Cave would be destroyed.

”Yin and Yang Old Ghost, quickly release those two!”

The enormous Dragon Mountain quivered, revealing a ghostly red giant dragon.

A massive dragon head lifted, its eerie dragon eyes gazing at a certain location in the void.

”Hehe, demon dragon, don’t fret, what’s there to be nervous about with those two youths at the True God Realm?”

The Yin and Yang Old Ghost’s calm laughter rang out lightly.

”Ma De, you old ghost with your cunning tricks and a belly full of malice!”

The Yin Yang Refining Virtual Dragon snorted coldly.

”This young man from the True God realm, having cultivated the Yin-Yang Reverse Jue, I just want to meet him in person and pass on some specific cultivation essentials to him. Demon dragon, you needn’t worry...”

The Yin and Yang Old Ghost’s eyes sparked as he chuckled.

At this moment, a pillar of light appeared beside him in the void, and with the dispersal of the light, two figures in white emerged.

They were Ye Yun and Gu Anran.

Due to the formation’s influence, he had partitioned the space before them into a small world.

So long as he didn’t show up, those two couldn’t see him.

”Old ghost, if you agree to cooperate with us, I might overlook this matter!”

The Yin Yang Refining Virtual Dragon said matter-of-factly.

”Hmm... I can consider that. But my successor will remain here to cultivate, don’t get any sinister ideas!”

The Yin and Yang Old Ghost’s eyes rolled as he laughed.

He just wanted to keep the Yin Yang Refining Virtual Dragon pacified for now...

As for his true intentions, he wished for the young man in white to open the Bronze Treasure Box and help him repair the Yin Yang Bead.

Although the young man in white had cultivated the Yin-Yang Reverse Jue, his realm was still shallow, and even if he could repair the Yin Yang Bead, the progress was exceedingly slow.

But this Bronze Treasure Box, in his opinion, was an incredibly powerful repair-type artifact. If it could repair the Yin Yang Bead, the time needed for the bead to fully recover would be greatly reduced.

Perhaps, like that sword, the Yin Yang Bead could be repaired in just a few breaths.

Once the Yin Yang Bead regained its prowess, he could fully suppress the demon dragon using the Peerless Array of the Yin Yang Cave.

Regarding this pesky Yin Yang Refining Virtual Dragon, he harbored deep-seated hatred.

This mother-child dragon duo had entrenched themselves in the Yin Yang Cave for millions of years, preventing the Yin Yang Bead from fully recovering.

Instead, the injuries it suffered became increasingly severe.

”Alright then!”

The Yin Yang Refining Virtual Dragon contemplated for a moment before agreeing.

Its current tactics were nothing more than an empty show.

To risk its life to perish alongside the Yin and Yang Old Ghost, the Yin Yang Refining Virtual Dragon was naturally reluctant.

Having painstakingly cultivated to the Half-step God King Realm, just a step away from the God-Looking Realm, it had to find a way to cross over.

As for those two young True God-stage cultivators, the Yin Yang Refining Virtual Dragon indeed didn’t take them seriously.

Their realm was far too low!

Even having cultivated the Yin-Yang Reverse Jue, there wouldn’t be any substantial changes to the repair of the Yin Yang Bead.

It knew very well about the Yin Yang Bead’s condition.

Agreeing with the Yin and Yang Old Ghost for now was simply to stabilize him first.

After all, just a moment of carelessness had allowed the Yin and Yang Old Ghost to secretly capture those two youths into the core of the array.

This had put it at a disadvantage.

In a few decades, when the young cultivator could help the Yin and Yang Old Ghost repair the Yin Yang Bead, it could aggressively impose its terms with a willingness to die if necessary.

At that time...

The Yin and Yang Old Ghost would have some reservations and might allow the Yin Yang Bead to release some original energy.

No matter how much was released, it would be a huge help to it.

”This old ghost is deceitful, the damage to the Yin Yang Bead is severe, forcing him to release too much at once is impossible. For now, it’s only feasible to let him release it slowly...”

The Yin Yang Refining Virtual Dragon thought to itself.

The young man in white naturally needed a long time to repair the Yin Yang Bead, during which it had to continually pressure the Yin and Yang Old Ghost to provide the Yin Yang origin.

In this way, both sides’ powers would grow in tandem.

Once it reached the Divine King Realm, even if it couldn’t suppress the Yin and Yang Old Ghost, it would have the means to explore the outside world.

”Mother once told me not to venture out until reaching the Divine King Realm; the spirits outside are strong and harbor malice towards the Dragon Clan. Once out, death is certain...”

The Yin Yang Refining Virtual Dragon said softly.

Remembering its departed mother, a sense of sorrow rose within it.

Retracting the dragon claw, it slowly lay on the ground, once again assuming the form of Dragon Mountain.

...

Inside the Mystical Space.

Ye Yun stood still, scanning the surrounding space, wearing a relaxed and pleasant smile on his face.

Gu Anran looked tense, constantly surveying the area, momentarily unsure of where they were.

”Senior brother, how did we suddenly end up in this place?”

Gu Anran tugged on Ye Yun’s sleeve, quietly asking.

”If my guess isn’t wrong, it’s probably the Owner of Yin Yang Cave who intervened.”

Ye Yun touched his brow, speaking with indifference.

The owner of Yin Yang Cave?

Upon hearing this, Gu Anran was immediately stunned.

Is there really an owner in the Yin Yang Cave?

During their journey, so many forces had charged into the Yin Yang Cave, wreaking havoc, yet no owner had shown up.

Although feeling doubtful, Gu Anran chose to trust her senior brother’s words.

”Senior brother, you said the Yin-Yang Reverse Jue we cultivate comes from the Yin Yang Cave. Could it be taught by the owner here? Now that he brought us here, does he consider us his successor?”

Gu Anran said quickly, her eyes brightening toward the end.

If this owner regarded them as his successors, it meant they wouldn’t face any danger.

”Junior sister, your thinking isn’t entirely without merit...”

Ye Yun smiled calmly.

He didn’t refute Gu Anran’s thoughts.

A figure flashed, and an elderly man clad in a robe of black and white suddenly appeared before them.

The abrupt appearance of the elder revealed a slender tall figure, ordinary features, and a pale complexion.

He appeared spectral and hazy, like he was formed of light, with an overall ethereal presence.

”Young girl, your senior brother, is indeed an extraordinary genius with a mind like a fox; what he says is entirely true!”

The Yin and Yang Old Ghost burst into laughter upon appearing.
