Chapter 635: A New Treasure Ground
Chapter 635: A New Treasure Ground
Lord Dragon Frost let out a sigh of relief. Facing the threat of a Celestial Sovereign, he had no intention of struggling.
Although he possessed numerous life-saving methods, even a Celestial Sovereign couldn't completely kill him.
But offending a Celestial Sovereign was too perilous.
"Hmm? Is this the Heaven-Cold Fruit?"
Lord Dragon Frost's pupils constricted as he noticed a fruit emitting a chilling aura beside him.
The Heaven-Cold Fruit, a rare treasure of the Sovereign level, was valuable even to the peak Sovereigns.
"Is this Heaven-Cold Fruit left by that mysterious Celestial Sovereign? To exchange for my five drops of essence blood?"
Lord Dragon Frost carefully examined the Heaven-Cold Fruit, a peculiar thought creeping into his mind, "That mysterious Celestial Sovereign is quite benevolent?"
In theory, a Celestial Sovereign could easily force him to hand over five drops of essence blood without any need for compensation.
For a Sovereign, essence blood was indeed precious, but losing five drops wouldn't affect him much.
There was no need for a transaction.
The only hidden danger of essence blood was the possibility of it becoming a medium for cause and effect, allowing other powerful beings to use it against him.
But this minor risk was irrelevant to a Celestial Sovereign.
If a Celestial Sovereign wanted to kill him, they could have done so just now, without needing to rely on cause and effect.
Moreover, the power of cause and effect would diminish, and even a Celestial Sovereign could only severely wound him, and only this physical form.
Thus, Lord Dragon Frost found it somewhat 'unusual,' believing that the mysterious Celestial Sovereign had been benevolent.
Among the six ancient kingdoms, the rule was that Celestial Sovereigns couldn't directly intervene at the Sovereign level, as long as no one knew which Celestial Sovereign had acted. The six ancient kingdoms couldn't pursue any investigation.
Earlier, the Celestial Sovereigns of Northern Yin and Extreme Cold had infiltrated the Black Jade Nest in a similar manner.
"I've already collected the essence blood of twelve Sovereign-level experts."
Lin Yuan sat cross-legged, though he was only an avatar, dealing with Sovereign-level experts was effortless for him.
Even so, when he obtained the essence blood of a Sovereign from the Northern Yin Ancient Kingdom, he still left some rare treasures as compensation.
It wasn't that Lin Yuan was benevolent, but doing so would minimize the risks as much as possible.
Indeed, most Sovereigns, when faced with the threat of a Celestial Sovereign, would obediently hand over their essence blood and not dare to complain afterward.
But occasionally, a few stubborn Sovereigns would be unwilling to comply, directly escalating the matter to the royal family of the Northern Yin Ancient Kingdom.
For Lin Yuan, this would be a trouble.
It might even draw the investigation of a Celestial Sovereign from the Northern Yin Ancient Kingdom.
Now, by obtaining the essence blood of the Northern Yin Sovereign through a transaction-like method, Lin Yuan had found the most secure way.
Most importantly, a mere Sovereign-level treasure was insignificant to Lin Yuan. The intervention of the Celestial Sovereigns of Extreme Cold and Northern Yin had greatly boosted his family's strength.
"Pity, if I could obtain the essence blood of the Northern Yin royal family, it would be even better."
Lin Yuan thought to himself, but he was already quite satisfied with collecting essence blood from over ten Sovereigns.
Those who could cultivate to the Sovereign level surely possessed strong ancestral bloodlines, even if not as pure as the royal family, they were still close enough to benefit Lin Yuan for a long time.
"Continue, collect more Sovereign essence blood."
Lin Yuan placed the already collected essence blood with another avatar, who would directly comprehend it, while this avatar continued to other domains to seek more Northern Yin Sovereigns.
Collecting Northern Yin Sovereign essence blood carried some risks, so Lin Yuan naturally wouldn't bring it back to the Lietian Ancient Kingdom, but would comprehend it within the Northern Yin Ancient Kingdom.
Even if any issues arose, he could instantly destroy the avatar, leaving no traces for anyone to track.
In the capital of the Lietian Kingdom, Lin Yuan sat cross-legged in his mansion, his avatar comprehending the Northern Yin Sovereign's essence blood, while his true self also comprehended synchronously.
【Your comprehension is heaven-defying, comprehending unknown essence blood, enhancing your understanding of the Northern Yin Way.】
Lin yuan was deeply immersed in comprehension. Compared to the Lietian lineage, the Northern Yin lineage contained a vast Dao, almost equivalent to chaos, even surpassing chaos.
"Northern Yin. Supreme Yin."
Multiple insights surged in Lin Yuan's mind.
【Your comprehension is heaven-defying, understanding the Northern Yin Way, enhancing your cognition of the supreme Yin Way.】
In a daze, Lin Yuan saw the black and white Taiji diagram, the yin side beginning to ripple, transforming into the yang side.
Apart from comprehending the Northern Yin Sovereign's essence blood, Lin Yuan didn't forget to comprehend the chaos secret pattern diagram.
So far, he knew two methods to accelerate the evolution of the Chaos Taiji Dao. One was comprehending the Northern Yin Way to complement the supreme Yin Way, thus advancing the Taiji Dao.
The other was enhancing the comprehension of chaos rules. If chaos rules reached the third realm, they could also advance the Taiji Dao.
One method focused inward, the other outward.
Regardless, both were greatly beneficial to Lin Yuan. Even without the evolution of the Chaos Taiji Dao, such comprehension was immensely advantageous.
In the vast Source World.
The six ancient kingdoms occupied the richest central region.
Beyond the six ancient kingdoms, there were also vast territories, but compared to the six ancient kingdoms, these areas were slightly less fertile. However, they still contained treasure grounds and secret realms, which many Sovereigns explored.
After all, the six ancient kingdoms have already claimed the majority of the treasure lands and secret realms, making it impossible for ordinary Great Respects to even approach them.
Rumbling.
In a winding mountain range, a sudden burst of intense spatial fluctuations erupted, spreading an unknown aura in all directions.
This aura immediately caught the attention of the nearby Great Respects, who all turned their eyes wide to the source of the spatial fluctuations.
"Treasure land! This must be a phenomenon spawned by a new treasure land. Is a new first-class treasure land being born?"
"At least a first-class treasure land would emit such an aura. A first-class treasureland?"
All the Great Respects present felt their mouths water at the thought of a first-class treasureland. A first-class treasureland? Even the six ancient kingdoms would vie for it?
Currently, the six ancient kingdoms only have a few first-class treasurelands, which are extremely rare.
"Let's go and see."
Some Great Respects, their hearts pounding, immediately headed toward the winding mountain range where the treasure land was being born.
The Great Spirit Ancient Kingdom.
Among the six ancient kingdoms, the Great Spirit Ancient Kingdom is the third to be established, with its founder said to be a disciple of the original Thirteenth Rank Ancestor.
At this moment, the emperor of the Great Spirit Ancient Kingdom and numerous Celestial Respects gathered in the grand hall.
"A new treasure land is being born here. It should be a first-class treasureland. The treasures it produces are of unknown effect, but they are likely related to time. Any Great Respect approaching the treasureland within a certain distance is forcibly reversed by the power of time to their original position."
"A first-class treasureland that spawns treasures related to time? We must seize this treasureland."
"Agreed. It might be the final step for us to break through the time loop. Any treasures related to time cannot be overlooked."
The Celestial Respects of the Great Spirit Ancient Kingdom quickly made their decision.
The treasures born from a first-class treasureland are of great use to Celestial Respects and even Supreme Celestial Respects, especially those related to time. So far, among the many first-class treasurelands controlled by the six ancient kingdoms, only five are related to time, which are not enough for each ancient kingdom to have one.
"You want to seize this treasureland, but so do the other ancient kingdoms."
The Great Spirit Emperor, seated high, surveyed, "Currently, the treasureland is under control, and its ownership will be determined according to the old rules, by the Celestial Respects of the ancient kingdoms."
If a newly born treasureland is within the territory of a certain ancient kingdom, it undoubtedly belongs to that kingdom.
But this new treasureland is outside the territories of the six ancient kingdoms, so its ownership must be decided through a contest among the six ancient kingdoms.
The Silver Galaxy Mansion.
Lin Yuan was in seclusion.
At this moment, he received a message from the Emperor of the Blazing Sun Ancient Kingdom.
"Lin Yuan, come to me immediately." The Emperor of the Blazing Sun Ancient Kingdom sounded quite urgent, and Lin Yuan immediately realized something significant had happened.
Soon after, Lin Yuan arrived at the palace.
"Hmm?"
Lin Yuan saw many Celestial Respects waiting outside.
These Celestial Respects glanced at Lin Yuan but did not say much.
Lin Yuan, puzzled, walked straight into the palace.
"Lin Yuan."
The Blazing Sun Emperor looked at Lin Yuan and smiled, "Those Celestial Respects outside all want to see me, but I see you first."
"Why is that?" Lin Yuan immediately asked.
"Another first-class treasureland has been born, and it's outside the territories of the six ancient kingdoms," the Blazing Sun Emperor briefly explained.
"Another first-class treasureland?" Lin Yuan was somewhat surprised.
Given his current status, he was well aware of the importance of a first-class treasureland. The treasures it spawns are of great help to Celestial Respects.
Lin Yuan himself oversaw two first-class treasurelands, so he was very clear about this.
This treasureland, born after countless ages, has its treasures already known. But the new treasureland, with its treasures, is something that has never appeared in the six ancient kingdoms, making it the most likely to spark a fierce competition among the Celestial Respects of the six ancient kingdoms.
"We, the six ancient kingdoms, have long set the rules. If the ownership of a treasureland is unclear, it will be decided according to the established rules by which ancient kingdom it belongs."
The Emperor of the Blazing Sun Ancient Kingdom looked at Lin Yuan and continued, "The rule is that each ancient kingdom selects twelve Celestial Respects to compete for the treasureland."
"Those Celestial Respects outside all want me to choose them as the twelve Celestial Respects the Blazing Sun Ancient Kingdom will send to compete."
The Blazing Sun Ancient Kingdom Emperor paused for a moment before continuing, "According to the rules, even if they fail in the end, the treasures they obtain within the treasureland are allowed to be taken out."
"I see."
Lin Yuan's expression showed understanding. In other words, regardless of whether they ultimately seize the treasureland, the Celestial Respects who participate in the competition will definitely benefit.
"Of course, whether the Celestial Respects can go to compete is my decision." The Blazing Sun Ancient Kingdom Emperor looked at Lin Yuan and smiled, "Lin Yuan, are you interested?"
