Chapter 629: Scorching Sun and Profound Yin
“Greetings, Grand Sage of the Milky Way.”
Grand Sage Raging Savage, Grand Sage Black Obsidian, and several other Grand Sages of the Primordial chaos soon met Lin Yuan. At that moment, Lin Yuan was facing away from them, adjusting the various great laws and principles of the Primordial Chaos Continent.
This was the first time the Primordial Chaos Continent had been opened, and while the space-time had stabilized, many of the great laws and principles still needed adjustment to ensure the continent’s perfection and eliminate any hidden dangers.
“Grand Sage of the Milky Way,” Grand Sage Raging Savage, Grand Sage Black Obsidian, and the other Grand Sages of the primordial chaos saw that Lin Yuan had not responded to their greetings and dared not press further, standing obediently in place.
The occasional surges of immense law fluctuations from the Primordial Chaos Continent below left the Grand Sages in awe.
“Grand Sage of the Milky Way’s comprehension of the laws is terrifying.” The Grand Sages shuddered in their hearts, feeling the impact of Lin Yuan’s adjustments up close.
“Even if our true avatars were present, with all our trump cards revealed, we wouldn’t last long against Grand Sage of the Milky Way.”
Grand Sage Black Obsidian thought to himself, clearly sensing the gap in strength between the current Grand Sage of the Milky Way and the one from the Xuanhuang Universe.
“You have arrived.”
Lin Yuan glanced at Grand Sage Black Obsidian and Grand Sage Raging Savage, casually saying, “Did you bring the Primordial Stones?”
“Already brought them.” Grand Sage Black Obsidian said with slight respect, treating Lin Yuan as a peerless Grand Sage, and immediately produced a world bracelet.
“We have them as well.”
Grand Sage Raging Savage, Grand Sage Tianlu, and the other Grand Sages of the primordial chaos quickly produced the Primordial Stones they had prepared.
“Since that’s settled.”
After Lin Yuan finished his inventory, he released the main combat avatars of the Grand Sages of the primordial chaos. Of course,,, the weapons, armor, and numerous treasures on these combat avatars were all removed by Lin Yuan.
This was something Grand Sage Raging Savage, Grand Sage Black Obsidian, and the other Grand Sages had anticipated. They had only redeemed their main combat avatars, and the thought of retrieving their weapons and treasures was out of the question.
“Grand Sage of the Milky Way, we’ll take our leave now.”
Grand Sage Black Obsidian tentatively suggested. Retrieving their main combat avatars, he felt a weight lifted off his chest. Though he had long known that a powerhouse like Lin Yuan wouldn’t renege, it still eased his mind.
“Mm.”
Lin Yuan nodded, looking at the Grand Sages of the primordial chaos, then suddenly said, “I’ve opened this Primordial Chaos Continent. Are you interested in having your forces settle here?”
Whether it was Grand Sage Black Obsidian, Grand Sage Raging Savage, Grand Sage Tianlu, or the two newly ascended Grand sages, they all represented significant forces.
Unlike Lin Yuan’s sudden rise, the other Grand Sages of the primordial chaos had their own paths of growth, and over the long ages, they had naturally formed their own forces, even if they hadn’t intended to do so.
“Grand Sage of the Milky Way, you’re not holding a grudge over our previous actions?”
Grand Sage Black Obsidian’s heart leaped with joy, and he cautiously asked. The opportunity to settle on a continent opened by a near-peerless Grand sage like Lin Yuan was a tremendous boon.
However, they had assumed there was enmity between them and Lin Yuan, making such a request seem impossible.
“With the Primordial Stones handed over, there’s no issue.”
Lin Yuan said. The enmity between him and the Grand Sages of the primordial chaos wasn’t irreconcilable. Since the Primordial stones had been delivered, Lin Yuan had no intention to hold a grudge.
With the Primordial Chaos continent newly opened, rapid development required the presence of various forces.
“Alright.”
“we’ll prepare immediately.”
The Grand Sages of the primordial chaos felt reassured and immediately withdrew.
“2.3 billion Primordial stones.”
After the Grand Sages left, Lin Yuan took stock of his gains.
“Next, I need to continue my cultivation and strive to reach the Primordial realm as soon as possible.”
Lin Yuan thought to himself and resumed his seclusion.
As for the various matters concerning the Primordial Chaos Continent, Lin Yuan only needed to allocate a sliver of his mind to oversee the big picture, while the trifles could be handled by the three goddesses.
In the Source World, in the Scorching Sun Ancient Kingdom, at the Black Jade Nest.
Lin Yuan, the Primordial Divine spirit of the Yin, sat cross-legged, refining his mental will with the precious Black Jade.
As a first-class treasure site in the Scorching Sun Ancient Kingdom, the Black Jade Nest produced Black jade that greatly enhanced one’s mental will.
“My mental will index should be approaching 90 million points.”
Lin Yuan felt a surge of joy. As the guardian of the Black Jade nest, he could easily use his position for personal gain, but he wouldn’t do that. However, he wouldn’t lack for black jade.
“With 8,000 years left, the Black jade nest will enter its maturation period. Before then, we need to be cautious about the Profound Yin Ancient Kingdom.”
Lin Yuan’s gaze drifted towards the direction of the Profound Yin Ancient Kingdom.
The Black Jade nest was situated on the border between the Scorching Sun Ancient Kingdom and the Profound Yin Ancient Kingdom. Although it was now occupied by the Scorching Sun Ancient Kingdom, each maturation period attracted strong forces from the Profound Yin Ancient Kingdom.
The strong forces from the Profound Yin Ancient Kingdom didn’t intend to fully occupy the Black Jade Nest, but as long as they could invade during the maturation period and plunder a portion of the black jade, it would be a significant gain.
“Chiyang Tianzun’s intelligence mentioned that the Profound Yin Ancient Kingdom is always restless around the maturation periods.” Lin yuan thought to himself.
The precious black jade, used for refining and enhancing mental willpower, is in high demand not only among the strong of the Sunlit Ancient Kingdom but also among the powerful figures of the Mystic Yin Ancient Kingdom.
Among the six ancient kingdoms that govern the vast borderlands, black jade stands out as one of the most prized treasures for enhancing mental willpower.
"It’s only natural. If there weren’t a threat from the Mystic Yin Ancient Kingdom, why would they need powerful figures to guard the Black Jade Nest?" Lin Yuan thought to himself. The Sunlit Ancient Kingdom provides excellent benefits to those who guard the treasure sites. Not only do they receive rewards from the ancient kingdom, but they can also take away a portion of the resources produced by the sites.
"I need to be more cautious too."
"Otherwise, if the powerful figures from the Mystic Yin Ancient Kingdom were to attack and take some black jade, I would definitely be punished, and even the emperor couldn’t protect me."
Lin Yuan divided some of his attention to closely monitor the Black Jade Nest and its surroundings.
Outside the Black Jade Nest, the spatial fabric in a certain area was slightly distorted.
Two figures stood silently, gazing at the distant Black Jade Nest.
"Calculating the time, the black jade is almost mature."
The figure on the left said softly.
"It is almost mature," the figure on the right replied. "What? Do you have any plans for the black jade?"
"Black jade is such a rare treasure; don’t you have any plans for it?" the left figure, the Supreme Cold, glanced at the right figure. "I remember that your mental willpower has always been a weakness at the Supreme level. If you could obtain enough black jade, you could completely make up for it."
Mental willpower, while not as directly impactful as physical strength and the soul, can still be a significant issue if there’s a gap.
"I do have plans," Supreme Northern Yin shook his head. "But what’s the point of having plans? We can only watch. Occasionally, the Sunlit Ancient Kingdom sells some black jade to us, but we can’t really seize any."
Between ancient kingdoms, there is trade, but when it comes to treasures like black jade, they are snatched up by the royal family and powerful Supremes of the Mystic Yin Ancient Kingdom as soon as they appear.
"Recently, the guardian of the Black Jade Nest was replaced; Sunlit was reassigned," Supreme Northern Yin said.
"I’m aware of that," Supreme Cold nodded. "The new guardian of the Black Jade Nest, named Galaxy, is a core member of the royal family. Core members are different."
"Galaxy. I’ve heard that he made significant progress on the path to breaking through the Supreme bottleneck, but he hasn’t yet reached the Supreme realm."
Supreme Northern Yin continued.
"What are you implying?"
Supreme Cold pondered for a moment.
"If Sunlit were still there, I would have no plans for the Black Jade Nest. Sunlit is powerful, and with his control over numerous great arrays, there would be no opportunity to act."
"But what about Galaxy?"
Supreme Northern Yin didn’t continue.
His meaning was clear.
This core member of the royal family, who has grown to his limits, might not be as completely in control as Sunlit Supreme.
This is their chance.
"What do you plan to do?"
Supreme Cold immediately asked.
He also realized this was an opportunity.
As long as they succeed, they won’t lack black jade for a long time.
If they fail, they won’t suffer any significant loss.
"These past years, while Sunlit was guarding the Black Jade Nest, I conducted many probes and have some understanding of the defense arrays inside."
"Galaxy is a newcomer to the Black Jade Nest. Even if he controls all the great arrays, it will take him some time to operate them smoothly."
"We just need to slip in during the intervals when the great arrays are not fully operational."
Supreme Northern Yin quickly said. Since Sunlit Supreme was reassigned, Galaxy Supreme took over the Black Jade Nest, and he had been planning this move.
"Slip in." Supreme Cold hesitated.
What if Galaxy Supreme notices and locks the gate, wouldn’t they be in trouble?
"Don’t worry. Galaxy is not Sunlit. Even if we are discovered, we can still retreat," Supreme Northern Yin immediately replied.
"Agreed."
Supreme Cold thought for a moment and nodded.
Core members of the royal family have far less mastery over the laws of heaven and earth than Supremes, and the same goes for their control over formations.
"However, be careful not to expose our true identities."
Supreme Northern Yin reminded.
Between ancient kingdoms, unless there’s a large-scale, all-out battle, they would avoid direct confrontations at the Supreme level.
Since Supreme Northern Yin and Supreme Cold decided to act, they would definitely hide their true identities. Even if the Sunlit Ancient Kingdom investigates afterward, they can blame it on Supremes from other ancient kingdoms.
As long as their identities remain hidden, the Mystic Yin Ancient Kingdom will protect them.
"Understood."
Supreme Cold nodded.
This is something they must keep secret, and they can’t take responsibility afterward.
Outside the Black Jade Nest.
Supreme Northern Yin and Supreme Cold of the Mystic Yin Ancient Kingdom observed the operation of the great array at the Black Jade Nest.
"It’s now."
Supreme Northern Yin’s gaze focused, and he slipped into the Black Jade Nest along the gaps in the array’s operation. Supreme Cold did the same, and the two Supremes infiltrated one after the other.
