Chapter 1850 - 1833: Crisis Emerges

Whoosh!

In the Yellow Mound Spirit Valley, amidst a wasteland of scattered rocks, a quaint five-tiered tower suddenly shuddered, and a young man burst out from it.

The tower quickly submerged into the young man’s chest.

"Thankfully, I wasn’t discovered." Xiao Ye scanned the surroundings and noticed the Desolate Spirit Beast had left, letting out a big sigh of relief.

"Hehe!"

"The Time Tower is the supreme treasure of our clan. Not to mention a mere Exotic Beast from the Spirit Realm, even if a Saint Rank Expert from the Human Clan were to come, unless they can wield the power of the Time Tower, hardly anyone can truly recognize it."

The defiant voice of the Time Great Saint resonated from within the Time Rain Stone.

"Is the Time Tower really that formidable?"

"What level of existence is it truly?" Xiao Ye quickly inquired curiously.

Having entered the Three Thousand Great Realms, he increasingly felt the extraordinary nature of the Time Tower, believing it harbored many abilities yet undiscovered by him.

However, in face of Xiao Ye’s question, the Time Great Saint remained silent.

Xiao Ye shook his head and then cautiously began searching.

Soon, his gaze intensified, the hairs on his body stood on end.

Not far ahead, the ground was crumbling inch by inch, scorched black, devoid of life, as if scorched by Divine Flame.

Two bloody corpses lay incomplete and shocking amidst the ruins, their spiritual power and divine charm completely drained.

Two super strong individuals ranked within the top two hundred of the Realm Spirit List were so easily obliterated; that Desolate Spirit Beast was truly terrifying.

Moreover, it was only about as powerful as those ranked around the fiftieth on the Realm Spirit List; how terrifying would those ranked ahead, especially the top ten, be?

"But, I am only at the Middle Stage of the Heavenly Spirit Realm, so my potential for improvement is still vast." Xiao Ye stepped forward to inspect the corpses and quickly grew excited.

The Space Rings on them had not been lost.

On the body of the master named Shi Ge, there were ten Space Rings, filled to the brim with various Cosmic Spiritual Treasures, dazzling to the eyes; the worst among them were Purple Light Stone Milk, and there were as many as fifty thousand portions of White Light Stone Milk.

As for the Space Ring of the blond man, there were even more Cosmic Spiritual Treasures than Shi Ge.

"Wow, the wealth of either of these two far exceeds the outside Star Domain Force!" Xiao Ye marveled, and without hesitation, collected all the Cosmic Spiritual Treasures.

Just in time, he needed a large quantity of Cosmic Spiritual Treasures to enhance his realm, and now having these reserves resolved the urgent need.

Moreover, among the Cosmic Spiritual Treasures from Yellow Mound Spirit Valley in their Space Rings, many could be taken back to have Yi Tianzhou craft Spirit Pills for him.

This time was truly a bountiful harvest.

Eventually, only a single Space Ring remained in Xiao Ye’s hand.

This Space Ring was found on the blond man, and upon probing it with spiritual sense, it was empty except for a segment of emerald green tender branch resembling a willow branch, tranquilly lying within, exuding a natural Dao Rhythm.

As soon as Xiao Ye’s spiritual sense came into contact with the tender branch, he felt a warm flow of energy conveyed.

Warm!

Comfortable!

"Is this the item worth silencing me for?" Xiao Ye’s eyes shone with brilliance and he asked the Time Great Saint.

Even a fool could guess the extraordinary nature of this willow branch, but Xiao Ye did not recognize it.

"Oh?"

"You lucky fellow, you actually obtained an ’Asking Heaven Willow’." The surprised voice of the Time Great Saint came, thrilling Xiao Ye.

How high was the Time Great Saint’s sight?

For him to deem it impressive means this willow branch was definitely a treasure.

"Senior, what’s its use?" Xiao Ye quickly asked.

"Cultivators of the Primordial Law Ancient Scripture defy the heavens with each step, their realm advancement arduous, and stimulating the Scripture Phenomenon equally challenging."

"The Asking Heaven Willow is a supreme treasure for martial artists cultivating the Primordial Law Ancient Scripture, used to stimulate the Scripture Phenomenon." The Time Great Saint explained.

"Stimulate the Scripture Phenomenon?" Xiao Ye’s eyes widened upon hearing this.

This willow branch has such terrifying effects? No wonder it could prompt the fierce battle between the two strong individuals.

After all, such a treasure would captivate anyone across the Spirit Realm.

"Once back, I shall see if I can thoroughly stimulate the Third and Fourth Scripture Phases." Gathering the Asking Heaven Willow, Xiao Ye shot out like an arrow.

Discovering the presence of Desolate Spirit Beasts in the Yellow Mound Spirit Valley, he dared not linger.

Besides, his gains had been quite fortuitous.

"Perhaps once I grow stronger and rival Desolate Spirit Beasts, I might return." Glancing at the stele at the valley entrance, Xiao Ye felt a sense of connection.

He had not traveled far from Yellow Mound Spirit Valley when Xiao Ye sensed a stream of tragic aura flowing through the void.

Across the vast earth, there were marks of battle everywhere, seemingly a result of terrifying clashes.

"Could it be the ten Alchemists have made a move against Yi Tianzhou?" Xiao Ye’s eyes narrowed, accelerating towards the Stone Giant City.

Along the way, he avoided many battle scenes.

It took a full three months for Xiao Ye to return without incident.

The sprawling Stone Giant City was as usual, but on the majestic city walls were mottled traces of blood, and inside, the wind was ferocious.

"Xiao Ye, do not leave the city during this period!" Upon entering the city, Yu Ming greeted him, his face solemn.

"Brother Yu Ming, what happened? Has war broken out?" Xiao Ye furrowed his brow slightly.

"Alas!"

"Originally, we gathered together to protect the Dan Venerable’s son, our numbers were strong, and also with the Eight Great Masters stationed, could confront the ten Alchemists."

"However, little did we expect, over three months ago, among the ten Alchemists’ ranks, a super strong ranked one hundred and twenty on the Realm Spirit List, Xie Tian, went mad when his brother’s Heavenly Destiny Stone shattered, believing an expert from our ranks did it."

"Thus, he’s madly retaliating now, causing heavy casualties among our martial artists." Yu Ming sighed.

"What!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ye’s heart jumped, unconsciously linking to the Yellow Mound Spirit Valley.

The blond youth and Shi Ge were obliterated by the Desolate Spirit Beast over three months ago.

Shi Ge was from their ranks, and could it be that the blond youth was Xie Tian’s brother?

But this matter was not something he would reveal, to avoid causing trouble for himself.

"We have the Eight Great Masters in our ranks; although Xie Tian is strong, he’s probably only comparable to the Eight Great Masters, right?" Xiao Ye asked.

"Hehe, do you think the Eight Great Masters would bother with such trivial matters?"

"They are stationed here merely to safeguard Yi Tianzhou; the lives and deaths of others are irrelevant to them, so we have to rely on ourselves." Yu Ming chuckled bitterly.

"These Eight Great Masters are certainly arrogant enough."

Xiao Ye shook his head helplessly.

The Eight Great Masters ignored their lives and deaths; against the frenzied Xie Tian, their ranks probably had no one who could suppress him.

"I must enhance my strength quickly!"

Feeling a profound sense of crisis, a fierce brilliance flashed in Xiao Ye’s eyes.
