Chapter 635: New Treasure Land

Marquis Longshuang let out a soft sigh. Facing the threat of a Celestial Venerable, he had no intention of struggling.

Although he possessed numerous life-saving methods, even a Celestial Venerable could not completely kill him.

However, offending a Celestial Venerable would bring far too many future troubles.

"Hm? This is a sky-frost fruit?"

Marquis Longshuang's pupils constricted as he saw an extra fruit radiating a frigid aura appear beside him.

The sky-frost fruit was a rare treasure of the Grand Venerable level, and it was immensely useful even to Peak Grand Venerables.

"Could this sky-frost fruit have been left behind by that mysterious Celestial Venerable? Was it used to exchange for my five drops of blood essence?"

Marquis Longshuang put away the sky-frost fruit and examined it closely. He could not help feeling a trace of oddity in his heart. "That mysterious Celestial Venerable is quite merciful?"

Logically speaking, given the strength of a Celestial Venerable, personally coming forward and demanding five drops of blood essence required no compensation at all.

To a Grand Venerable, blood essence was certainly precious, but losing five drops would not have any significant impact on himself.

There was completely no need for a transaction.

The only hidden danger of having one's blood essence outside was the possibility of it becoming a karmic medium, allowing other Experts to use that drop of blood essence to attack him through karmic means.

However, this hidden danger had nothing to do with a Celestial Venerable.

If a Celestial Venerable wanted to kill him, it could have been done just now, completely without the need for a karmic kill.

Moreover, the power of a karmic kill would be diminished. Even someone as strong as a Celestial Venerable could at most heavily injure him, and only this Physical Body at that.

Therefore, Marquis Longshuang felt somewhat unaccustomed to this, thinking that the mysterious Celestial Venerable from just now was merciful.

As for the rule that Celestial Venerable-level Experts were not allowed to interfere among the Six Ancient Kingdoms, as long as no one knew which Celestial Venerable had made a move, the Six Ancient Kingdoms could not investigate anything.

It was the same when Northern Yin Celestial Venerable and Ji Han Heavenly Venerable, the two Celestial Reverends, previously sneaked into the Black Jade Nest.

"I have already collected the blood essence of twelve Profound Yin Grand Venerable-level Experts."

Lin Yuan sat cross-legged. Although he was only an Incarnation at the moment, dealing with Experts at the Grand Venerable level was still effortless.

Even so, when Lin Yuan obtained the blood essence of the Grand Venerable from Profound Yin Ancient Kingdom, he still left behind some rare treasures to serve as an exchange for the other party offering their blood essence.

It was not that Lin Yuan was merciful, but doing this would minimize hidden dangers as much as possible.

Indeed, most Grand Venerables would honestly hand over their blood essence when faced with the threat of a Celestial Venerable, and would not dare to harbor malicious thoughts afterward.

But what if a few reckless Grand Venerables appeared, feeling extremely unconvinced and directly making a big deal out of this matter, taking it all the way to the royal family of Profound Yin Ancient Kingdom?

For Lin Yuan, that would also be troublesome.

It might just attract an investigation by a Celestial Venerable of Profound Yin Ancient Kingdom.

Obtaining the blood essence of the Profound Yin Grand Venerable through this transaction-like method was the safest approach Lin Yuan could think of.

Most importantly, mere rare treasures of the Grand Venerable level did not catch Lin Yuan's eye. The two ancient Celestial Reverends, Ji Han Heavenly Venerable and Northern Yin Celestial Venerable, had caused Lin Yuan's net worth to skyrocket by a massive margin.

"Pity, if I could acquire the blood essence of the Profound Yin royal family, it would certainly be even better."

Lin Yuan thought to himself, though he was already very satisfied with having gathered the blood essence of more than a dozen Grand Venerables so far.

Living beings capable of cultivating to the Grand Venerable level would certainly not have thin ancestral Bloodlines within them; even if they were inferior to the royal family, they must be extremely close, which was enough for Lin Yuan to comprehend for a very long time in the future.

"Continue, collect more Grand Venerable blood essence."

Lin Yuan placed the blood essence collected so far with another Incarnation for direct comprehension, while this Incarnation continued to head towards other major domains to search for more Profound Yin Grand Venerables.

Collecting the blood essence of Profound Yin Grand Venerables required bearing certain risks, so Lin Yuan naturally would not bring the blood essence back to Blazing Sun Ancient Kingdom, instead comprehending it right within Profound Yin Ancient Kingdom.

Even if any issues arose afterward, he could obliterate the Incarnation with a single thought, and no one would be able to trace it.

In the capital of Blazing Sun Ancient Kingdom, Lin Yuan sat cross-legged inside his mansion. While the Incarnation comprehended the blood essence of the Profound Yin Grand Venerable, his true main body was naturally comprehending it simultaneously.

[Your Comprehension Ability is Heaven-Defying. Comprehending unknown blood essence, your insight into the Profound Yin Way has increased.]

Lin Yuan immersed himself in comprehension. Compared to the Blazing Sun Bloodline, the Dao contained within the Profound Yin Bloodline was equally vast, almost equivalent to Chaos, and perhaps even surpassing Chaos.

"Profound Yin… Taiyin."

Numerous flashes of insight emerged within Lin Yuan's mind.

[Your Comprehension Ability is Heaven-Defying. Comprehending the Profound Yin Way, your understanding of the Taiyin Dao has increased.]

In a trance, Lin Yuan saw a clearly demarcated black-and-white Taiji diagram, where ripples began to stir on the Taiyin side, constantly transforming with the Taiyang side.

Aside from comprehending the blood essence of the Profound Yin Grand Venerable, Lin Yuan did not forget to comprehend the Chaotic Mystery Diagram.

So far, he knew of two methods that could accelerate the evolution speed of the Chaotic Taiji Path. One of them was comprehending the Profound Yin Way to make up for the Taiyin Dao, thereby driving the evolution of Taiji.

The other was improving his comprehension of Chaos Rules. If the Chaos Rules reached the Third Realm, it could similarly drive the evolution of Taiji.

Of the two methods, one focused internally while the other focused externally.

No matter which one, both were of immense help to Lin Yuan. Even without the evolution of the Chaotic Taiji Path, continuing to comprehend like this benefited Lin Yuan greatly.

The vast Origin World.

The Six Ancient Kingdoms occupied the most central and fertile regions.

As for the areas outside the Six Ancient Kingdoms, vast regions also existed there. However, compared to the Six Ancient Kingdoms, these areas were slightly barren, yet they would also give birth to some treasure Secret Realms, which many Grand Venerables would explore and travel through.

After all, the treasure Secret Realms contained within the Six Ancient Kingdoms were basically all occupied, and ordinary Grand Venerables could not even get close to them.

Rumble…

Within a winding mountain range, intense spatial-temporal fluctuations suddenly burst forth, and a strange aura began to spread in all directions.

This aura immediately drew the attention of nearby passing Grand Venerables. These Grand Venerables looked towards the source of the spatial-temporal fluctuations in unison, their eyes widened round.

"A treasure land! This is a miraculous phenomenon born from a treasure land! Has a new treasure land been conceived?"

"Only a first-class treasure land being conceived could radiate such an aura—a first-class treasure land?"

All the Grand Venerables who sensed this scene swallowed hard. A first-class treasure land? Even the high-and-mighty Six Ancient Kingdoms would fight for it with all their might, yet they happened to run into it?

The first-class treasure lands currently occupied by the Six Ancient Kingdoms were only that many, being incomparably rare and uncommon.

"Let's go take a look."

A Grand Venerable felt his heart surging and immediately approached the winding mountain range where the treasure land was being conceived.

Great Spirit Ancient Kingdom.

Among the Six Ancient Kingdoms, Great Spirit Ancient Kingdom was the third Ancient Kingdom to be established. The ancestor of Great Spirit Ancient Kingdom was rumored to be a Disciple of that initial Thirteenth Order ancestor.

At this moment, the emperor of Great Spirit Ancient Kingdom and numerous Celestial Reverends gathered in the grand hall.

"A new treasure land has been conceived here. It should be a first-class treasure land, and the rare treasures it produces have unknown effects, though they should be related to time. Currently, any Grand Venerable approaching within a certain distance of the treasure land will be forcibly reversed back to their original place by the power of time."

"A treasure land that conceives rare treasures related to time, and it is even a first-class treasure land? This treasure land must be seized."

"Indeed, perhaps it will be helpful for the likes of us to take that final step and break through the time loop. Any rare treasures related to time cannot be let go."

The Celestial Reverends of Great Spirit Ancient Kingdom quickly made a decision.

Rare treasures conceived by first-class treasure lands were immensely useful to Celestial Venerables and even Peak Heavenly Venerables. First-class treasure lands related to time, in particular, produced rare treasures that made all Celestial Venerable-level Experts green with envy.

So far, among the many first-class treasure lands controlled by the Six Ancient Kingdoms, there were only five first-class treasure lands related to time.

Averaging it out, it was not even enough for each of the Six Ancient Kingdoms to have one.

"You want to seize this treasure land, and the other Ancient Kingdoms also want to seize this treasure land."

The Emperor of Great Spirit Ancient Kingdom, sitting high on the throne, looked down and said, "Currently, this treasure land has been controlled. As for its specific ownership, we will still follow the old rules and let the Celestial Reverends of the Ancient Kingdoms fight for it."

If the newly born treasure land was located within the territory of a certain Ancient Kingdom,

then without a doubt, this treasure land belonged to that Ancient Kingdom.

But now, the location of this treasure land was outside the Six Ancient Kingdoms. The ownership of the treasure land would require the Six Ancient Kingdoms to fight it out.

Galaxy Kings Mansion.

Lin Yuan was in seclusion.

At this moment, he received a message transmission from the Emperor of Lieyang Ancient Kingdom.

"Galaxy, come to my place immediately." The tone of the Emperor of Lieyang Ancient Kingdom was quite urgent, and Lin Yuan immediately realized that a major event must have occurred.

Not long after,

Lin Yuan rushed to the imperial palace.

"Hm?"

Lin Yuan saw many Celestial Reverends waiting outside.

These Celestial Reverends glanced at Lin Yuan and said nothing more.

Puzzled, Lin Yuan still walked straight into the imperial palace.

"Galaxy."

The Lieyang Emperor looked at Lin Yuan and said with a smile, "Those Celestial Reverends outside all wanted to see me, but I saw you first."

"Why is that?" Lin Yuan immediately asked.

"A new first-class treasure land has been born again, and it is outside the territory of the Six Ancient Kingdoms," the Emperor of Lieyang Ancient Kingdom said briefly.

"A new first-class treasure land?" Lin Yuan was somewhat startled.

With his current identity, he naturally knew the importance of first-class treasure lands, and the conceived rare treasures were of immense help even to Celestial Venerables.

Lin Yuan himself guarded two first-class treasure lands, so he was very clear about this.

These were treasure lands that had been born for infinite years, and the rare treasures they conceived had basically all been circulated once.

Meanwhile, the rare treasures conceived by a newly born treasure land were things that had never appeared within the Six Ancient Kingdoms, and they were most capable of causing the Celestial Reverends of the Six Ancient Kingdoms to scramble for them.

"My Six Ancient Kingdoms long ago established rules that when a treasure land with unclear ownership appears, we follow the established rules to decide which Ancient Kingdom it belongs to."

The Emperor of Lieyang Ancient Kingdom looked at Lin Yuan and said, "The rule here is that each Ancient Kingdom selects twelve Celestial Reverends to go outside the treasure land and fight for it."

"Those Celestial Reverends outside all want me to choose them as the twelve Celestial Reverends dispatched by our Blazing Sun Ancient Kingdom to fight."

Speaking up to this point, the Emperor of Lieyang Ancient Kingdom paused for a moment and continued, "According to the rules, the Celestial Reverends participating in the fight, even if they ultimately fail, are allowed to bring their harvests out from the treasure land."

"I see."

Lin Yuan's expression dawned with realization. In other words, regardless of whether they could ultimately seize this treasure land, the Celestial Reverends participating in the fight would definitely obtain benefits.

"Of course, the final decision of which Celestial Reverends can go fight lies with me." The Emperor of Lieyang Ancient Kingdom looked at Lin Yuan and smiled. "Galaxy, are you interested?"
