"What’s the matter, Supre Elder?"
The indistinct figure, with a cultivation aura only at the Mid Dao Realm, turned to look at the entity at the Half-step Creation Realm.
The figure called Supre Elder frowned, "It’s nothing, it’s just that earlier when my divine sense swept the ground, I suddenly detected a trace of an unusual fluctuation.
But when I turned around and searched with my divine sense seven tis, I found nothing."
Just as he finished speaking, the Supre Elder’s gaze fell on the spot where the Five Seed Pogranate was stolen, and a chilling evil qi suddenly arose.
At the mont the evil qi erged, the surrounding cave walls emitted a series of explosive sounds.
"Haicheng, wasn’t your Sun and Moon Heaven’s Heavenly Leader assuring the Five Seed Pogranate was foolproof? Yet now it is lost!" Supre Saint Xuan’s voice was light, but it made Haicheng’s figure tremble violently.
However, when Xuan Sheng spoke these words, he acted as if he was completely uninvolved.
"When the plans of the Divine Monarchs and Divine Kings are thwarted, it won’t just be you; even your Sun and Moon Heaven’s Heavenly Leader would struggle to bear such responsibility," Xuan Sheng’s voice continued.
The voice of the Mid Dao Realm Haicheng began to tremble, "Supre Elder, the loss of one Heaven and Earth Spiritual Object shouldn’t implicate the Heavenly Leader, should it?"
"Shouldn’t?"
Supre Saint Xuan sneered, "If you knew that the Divine Monarchs and Divine Kings have been planning this for over ten thousand years, you would understand the seriousness of this matter!"
Haicheng’s expression turned panic-stricken, "Supre Elder, isn’t it just one Heaven and Earth Spiritual Object? Isn’t it possible for our Sun and Moon Heaven to find another similar Spiritual Object?"
"Alas..."
Xuan Sheng sighed lightly, "The intricate connections within are not sothing that can be easily redied by casually substituting a Spiritual Object with similar attributes.
Aside from that, the hidden passage within the Molten Hell Sea, said to seize the creation of the earth, is sothing even I cannot accomplish easily."
"Supre Elder, are you saying that everything here, including this Five Seed Pogranate’s growth environnt, was all deliberately arranged?" Haicheng blurted out.
Upon hearing this, Xuan Sheng shook his head, "Knowing too much wouldn’t do you any good. Well, it’s your Sun and Moon Heaven’s Heavenly Leader’s headache, not mine.
Forget it, the Three-eyed Demon Clan that stole the Five Seed Pogranate has already used a secret technique to flee afar; chasing them won’t retrieve it. Let’s withdraw, report this unexpected matter quickly."
While speaking, Xuan Sheng waved his sleeve, taking Haicheng with him to disappear into thin air, leaving the four corpses of the Goldback Crocodile Dragons on the ground.
In Quagmire Lake, acting as Ye Zhen’s eyes was the moss growing around it. This moss was instantly cultivated by Ye Zhen using Yimu Spiritual Power, indistinguishable from genuine moss.
However, within this moss, there was a part of Ye Zhen’s will, akin to his eyes.
Unless soone uses divine sense to scan every inch of this moss, they might discover sothing amiss.
So even if Ye Zhen hid inside the Mirage Dragon Pearl, the moss acting like his eyes allowed him to see the circumstances and changes around him clearly.
Honestly, seeing the terrifying aura of the Half-step Creation Realm Xuan Sheng leaving, Ye Zhen’s heart relaxed, prompting him to think of leaving the Mirage Dragon Pearl and quickly escaping this perilous Quagmire Lake.
Who knows what other terrifying presence might appear?
Would the Second Elder of the Three-eyed Demon Clan, Jii Gongyue, make a surprise return?
But just as Ye Zhen was about to leave the Mirage Dragon Pearl, a thought struck him.
Ye Zhen quietly sat back inside the Mirage Dragon Pearl.
Being cautious won’t cause any harm.
Since even the Half-step Creation Realm couldn’t detect the Mirage Dragon Pearl buried thousands of ters underground mingling with the soil and rocks, why not stay a little longer inside the pearl?
With this thought, Ye Zhen cald his mind and stayed quietly within the Mirage Dragon Pearl, processing today’s gains.
The Five Seed Pogranate is naturally noteworthy; after leaving this dangerous place, Ye Zhen will refine and consu it to fully awaken Little Demon.
In a few years, part of the roots and leaves of this Five Seed Pogranate will beco the healing Holy Item Spirit Gathering Pill in Shuili Dan King’s hands.
As for the most powerful Goldback Crocodile Dragon corpse Ye Zhen snatched at the critical mont, the Demon Core will be scooped up by the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten and the Nine-headed Beast.
What Ye Zhen values most is the Crocodile Dragon Hide of the Goldback Crocodile Dragon; its defensive ability is comparable to Dragon Scale, strongly resistant to Five Elents Power.
A bit of refining will turn it into a Supre Suppression Armor. If Ye Zhen quietly refines a set of Crocodile Dragon Hide Armor, its defensive ability would definitely provoke Dark Palace Realm Martial Artists.
And this strongest Goldback Crocodile Dragon corpse, even lacking the head that’s left behind, asures three thousand ters long and two hundred ters wide.
The hide from its back is highly resilient and offers strong defense, while the softer belly hide can be used for crafting inner armor and joints.
Even so, half of this Goldback Crocodile Dragon Hide is usable.
Given the terrifying size of the Goldback Crocodile Dragon, Ye Zhen estimates he could craft hundreds of sets from the Crocodile Dragon Hide.
That’s quite the harvest.
Actually, Ye Zhen is sowhat envious of the other four Goldback Crocodile Dragon corpses left in Quagmire Lake; if they could be retrieved, Ye Zhen could refine a super-strong defensive armor for a small force.
Unfortunately, for now, Ye Zhen can only entertain this thought without daring to act on it.
Therefore, Ye Zhen hopes that Xuan Sheng and Haicheng have truly left.
In that case, when Ye Zhen feels safe enough to leave in a while, he can take away the corpses of those Goldback Crocodile Dragons.
Besides, what shocked Ye Zhen the most was the astonishing secret revealed during the casual chat between Supre Sanit Xuan and Haicheng.
The Divine Monarchs and Divine Kings of the Heavenly Temple have a plan that has been prepared for tens of thousands of years.
Ye Zhen does not know what this plan is, but if it’s a plan prepared over tens of thousands of years by the reclusive Divine Monarchs and Divine Kings of the Heavenly Temple, once executed, it would surely be earth-shattering.
Ye Zhen doesn’t know what role the Five Seed Pogranate, a Heaven and Earth Spiritual Object, plays in it, but according to Xuan Sheng, the growth environnt of the Five Seed Pogranate is incredibly hidden and extrely dangerous—even a Dao Realm expert must risk their life several tis to possibly find the entrance.
Everything indicates that what Xuan Sheng said is true, and the growth environnt of the Five Seed Pogranate indeed seems to be man-made.
This also ans that there might really be a plan prepared for tens of thousands of years on the part of the Heavenly Temple.
Thinking that this plan is prepared by the reclusive Divine Monarchs and Divine Kings of the Heavenly Temple for tens of thousands of years, Ye Zhen felt a bit anxious.
Ye Zhen instinctively felt that the plan of these guys from the Heavenly Temple is definitely not a good one.
Ye Zhen wants to understand this plan, to destroy this plan.
But after being anxious for a while, Ye Zhen laughed at himself self-mockingly.
If there really was such a plan on the part of the Heavenly Temple, how could a small Dark Palace Realm martial artist like Ye Zhen stop or destroy it?
This world is not Ye Zhen’s; he neither has the ability nor the responsibility.
If a great change were to really co, the only things Ye Zhen would care about are two—his family and friends!
Being able to protect his family, being able to let his friends survive, live better, this is the thought of a small character like Ye Zhen.
In an instant, Ye Zhen thought of his parents far away on the True Profound Continent, Luluo, Fengh Qingyue, his brother, the Sect Leader, and more of Caiyi, Liao Feibai, and Princess Changle.
He also thought of Xuan Hu, Sunx Ba, Zhu Hong, Hu Qingtong, and others who parted ways after arriving together on the Primordial Continent.
Thought of the last request of the ancestor from the Devil God Palace on the True Profound Continent.
For a mont, a vague sense of urgency welled up.
The plan of the many reclusive Divine Monarchs and Divine Kings in the Heavenly Temple, it’s impossible to say it won’t cause a great upheaval in the world.
And now, Ye Zhen wants to complete these things as much as possible before the chaos in the world.
As long as these things are completed.
Ye Zhen would have no more worries, whether to advance or retreat, the world would be his to tread.
....
Ye Zhen was able to painstakingly cultivate in the Mirage Dragon Pearl for ten years, which shows Ye Zhen’s patience is indeed powerful.
With nothing else to do, Ye Zhen continued cultivating in the Mirage Dragon Pearl.
When twenty-seven days had passed inside the Mirage Dragon Pearl while only two and a half days had gone by outside.
A Divine Sense ripple that swept across the entire underground once again alard the will Ye Zhen had attached to the moss around Quagmire Lake.
The terrifying Divine Sense swept through the underground four or five tis like a sieve, and then the vague figures of Xuan Sheng and Haicheng, who left two and a half days ago, reappeared.
"Strange, when I scanned with Divine Sense before, I clearly sensed sothing unusual, but now I can’t find anything," said Xuan Sheng.
Beside him, Haicheng looked a bit grim, without saying a word.
"I guess I was overthinking, let’s go," Xuan Sheng sighed lightly, leaving with Haicheng once again.
Staying in the Mirage Dragon Pearl, Ye Zhen watched the departing Xuan Sheng without even lifting an eyelid, continuing his diligent cultivation.
Since Xuan Sheng sensed sothing unusual, such a cunning and sophisticated presence wouldn’t give up easily, right?
Anyway, Ye Zhen could just cultivate and improve his cultivation in the Mirage Dragon Pearl, there’s no need to take risks.
This ti, half a month passed, and Ye Zhen had cultivated for nearly six months in the Mirage Dragon Pearl when Xuan Sheng appeared again after leaving before.
This ti, Xuan Sheng looked furious.
"Could it be that my Divine Sense misperceived? Waiting outside for so many days and still no one?"
After Xuan Sheng’s Divine Sense swept across a hundred miles radius like a sieve several tis, Xuan Sheng finally left in a rage with the four heap bodies of Goldback Crocodile Dragons, which were beginning to rot.
After these two tests, Ye Zhen instead was no longer anxious.
His cultivation level still needed improvent, so he might as well stay holed up in the Mirage Dragon Pearl, waiting until it was completely safe before leaving.
This ti, Ye Zhen cultivated for nearly a year in the Mirage Dragon Pearl, and after more than thirty days outside, Xuan Sheng appeared again, with a face of frost.
This ti, Xuan Sheng was furious, his Divine Sense and Spiritual Power plowed through Quagmire Lake inside and out, and finding no results, he left in anger.
Upon leaving this ti, Xuan Sheng stomped lightly with one foot.
The entire underground of Quagmire Lake shook, the world turned upside down!
