Chapter 286: Seizing the Treasure, the Ruins Open
The man and woman arrived together, one handsome and calm, the other stunning and ethereal.
“Si Jianyong, Wen Shu?”
Yun Ye gripped his sword. Though he smiled, the innate spiritual field suddenly enveloped the two.
To him, a few people were all the same; today, no one could stop him.
Besides, Xie Fei’er was trapped by the System Master’s power; didn’t he have the same?
He feared that when his life was in danger, his body would be directly taken over by Lan Wuyin; this was the treatment of a protagonist—
A cheat to gain power!
Let’s see who is braver than whom!
“You troublemaker… why don’t you settle your own affairs outside the Secret Realm?”
“Slash!”
Si Jianyong pointed at the Divine Sword, and it swiftly cut through Xie Fei’er, knocking the Treasure from her wrist.
Then, he tossed it directly to Yun Ye.
“Si Jianyong, you really know how to choose. You think Xiang Ying would act recklessly, but I won’t?!”
Xie Fei’er paused briefly, her expression growing colder.
Si Jianyong wasn’t afraid of her; he replied lightly, “I already said, your business should be settled outside the Secret Realm. Besides, from my judgment, Xiang Ying is irreconcilable, while you will still fear some rules… So, do you plan to keep fighting without a Treasure?”
Xie Fei’er’s forehead pulsed as she pressed her fingers against it, an aura erupting; she actually had a second Treasure.
But in the next moment, Si Jianyong and Wen Shu’s two Divine Swords crossed in front of her. Though these swords were only treasures, they were top-tier, and with their combined sword effect, they were just as formidable as ordinary Treasures.
Seeing this, Xie Fei’er met Yun Ye’s lightly amused expression and fell into silence.
Then, she moved her fingers away.
Si Jianyong was right; she ultimately had concerns and weighed the gains and losses, entirely different from Yun Ye’s madness.
A gentleman can be deceived by the righteous.
Though Xie Fei’er was no gentleman, she was a wise person, which meant she had reservations, suppressed her anger, and chose a meaningful “solution.”
With the Combined Sword Dao System, the first True Disciple of the Yin Yang Main Vein, Si Jianyong, and the second True Disciple, Wen Shu, could only fight her when their swords combined. However, with Yun Ye present, her resistance was meaningless.
In the end, Xie Fei’er could only say, “Xiang Ying’s True Disciple, very good… I will leave the Treasure in your hands for now. Once we are outside the Secret Realm, we will settle this!”
The weight of the Treasure was simply too great; although the System Master might not care, the powers of the Dao System would not allow a Treasure to fall into the wrong hands.
“This is your compensation. If you want it back, it might require the System Master of the Da Xuan Dao System to intervene personally. Otherwise, with just the Chief, I would also like to see the difference,” Yun Ye said.
“Arrogant!”
Many people thought this in their hearts.
The Chiefs of all Dao Systems were peerless, representing the pinnacle of an era.
Their symbol was the ability to battle and even defeat those in the Mystic Realm.
Challenging a peerless opponent was no different than challenging someone in the Mystic Realm.
Xiang Ying was truly too arrogant!
Even if he could indeed fight with Xie Fei’er in the spiritual realm, it was clear that this was his limit; he had no other means left. The gap between him and the peerless was immeasurable, and the chances of victory were nonexistent.
In that case, he would only face the outcome of losing face!
But Yun Ye clearly thought otherwise. Although he was currently weak and unlikely to win, with Lan Wuyin backing him up, he might still pull off something unexpected.
So, Yun Ye disregarded everyone around him and pressed down on the struggling Treasure, dismantling its resistance.
The Treasure calmed down, and then Yun Ye hung it on his wrist.
The Treasure was like a living entity; it couldn’t be placed into a storage space. It had to either be refined and absorbed or serve as an external weapon.
Xie Fei’er chose not to look at Yun Ye anymore, waiting quietly for the ruins to open.
“Liu Hufa, when will the ruins actually open? Su Xinsan has already reached the second level, right?”
A man in white robes suddenly spoke, directing his question at a middle-aged Taoist nun.
Liu Hufa, responsible for protecting Su Xinsan, stood guard at the entrance of the tall tower, watching the structure intently.
Upon hearing her name, she thought for a moment and replied, “According to our calculations, when Xinxin passes the third level, the ruins will open completely. It will be soon.”
“Is that so?” The man in white robes fell silent again.
Many people looked at him, revealing thoughtful expressions.
The man in white robes was Kongmen Dao System’s fifth True Disciple, Kong Qu.
As the only Dao System with a single Main Vein, the fifth True Disciple carried weight not less than that of a first True Disciple from other Main Veins.
However, in recent years, the Kongmen Dao System had indeed declined, lacking any particularly outstanding figures.
Aside from the Chief, who was peerless, the first to fourth True Disciples had only once made it to the Qilin Rankings and had not reached the heights of the peerless.
This Kong Qu also ranked fifteenth in the Qilin Rankings, and despite advancing to the law realms, he had only shown a level close to a prodigy at best, even far behind Xie Fei’er.
While he was undeniably strong, exceeding the average person greatly, he wouldn’t be in the top three, and often went unnoticed. No one knew just how much power this man truly hid…
Or perhaps he really hadn’t reached the prodigy level?
The scene fell into a long silence.
Everyone awaited Su Xinsan to complete the trials of the third level.
Meanwhile, Yun Ye, having sustained more injuries, hoped for the paused time to last longer so he could recover.
Setting up formations and extracting spirit energy, Yun Ye’s lost strength rapidly returned.
Due to his spiritual injuries, Yun Ye directly consumed a top-tier Spiritual Herb to make a top-grade spirit pill for healing.
The Sun Wheel Blood Cleansing Spirit Pill was highly effective in restoring injuries, and after taking one, it felt as if Yun Ye had been reborn, with all hidden dangers disappearing.
However, the repeated use of burning Spiritual Roots caused irreversible losses to his roots.
Yes, approximately 2 percent.
Using burning Spiritual Roots in the spiritual realm theoretically shouldn’t consume so little, but Yun Ye had used it alongside the Essence.
Burning Spiritual Roots corresponded with law realms because law realms had ways to recover Spiritual Roots, reducing damage.
Yun Ye’s Essence aimed to enhance the control of the Three Great Methods to their peak, similar to a domain, which could also recover the boiling, gaseous Spiritual Roots.
This 2 percent loss was the result of repeated burns being difficult to control; theoretically, it could have been lower.
If things developed in this way, upon advancing to the law realms, Yun Ye should be able to use burning Spiritual Roots without any loss.
The innate spiritual field was a powerful divine ability, providing an absurd boost to combat power when used without limits.
The Spiritual Law Domain could be viewed as a weakened version of the innate spiritual field, which was a more commonly used method in law realms.
“Boom!”
The tall tower trembled as the third level lit up; the ruins finally opened.
A whirlpool-like gate opened in front of the tower.
“Spatial transmission? This tall tower must be entirely sealed, needing spatial transmission to enter?”
Kong Qu, who practiced the Spirit Law in the space, naturally noticed the peculiarities.
