Chapter 1857 - 1840: Xiao Ye Appears

"Undying Mountain?" Xiao Ye was taken aback upon hearing this.

This place was extremely dangerous, and he had heard of it when he first entered the Second Layer Heaven. Of the remaining two Time Rain Stones, one might be there.

According to his speculation, though the Time Great Saint did not mention it deeply, it might relate to the treasures the saint left in the Holy World.

"Time Great Saint senior, with my current strength, entering the Undying Mountain might cost my life!" Xiao Ye coughed dryly.

"Alright, no need to test this saint. The Undying Mountain is indeed dangerous for you."

"However, every century, the danger of the Undying Mountain is at its lowest, and there are three months left until this century’s end. With your current strength, entering shouldn’t be a big issue."

"I suppose those little ones with high rankings on the Realm Spirit List in the Holy World’s Second Layer Heaven are eager to move as well." The scornful voice of the Time Great Saint reached him, causing Xiao Ye’s whole body to quiver.

The Time Great Saint knows so much about the Undying Mountain?

It seems he guessed right after all.

"Little one, indeed some of the treasures I left in the Holy World are in the Undying Mountain. This must have been arranged by that fellow, the Taixu Great Saint."

"Even the seed of the Asking Sky Willow Tree, which the saint snatched from an Ancient Clan during a journey through the Three Thousand Great Realms, was probably planted there. Otherwise, such a branch couldn’t have appeared in this valley."

"With just a branch of the Asking Heaven Willow, your Third Scripture Phase’s power surged. Imagine if you obtained the whole tree? Heh heh!"

As if seeing through Xiao Ye’s thoughts, the Time Great Saint laughed strangely, full of temptation.

Bang!

Xiao Ye’s mind was immediately filled with a loud noise.

Asking Sky Willow Tree!

Such a heaven-defying treasure was also left by the Time Great Saint?

"If I can get the entire Asking Sky Willow Tree, solving the problem of activating the Fourth Scripture Phase shouldn’t be difficult!" Xiao Ye was filled with excitement.

The Fourth Scripture Phase of the Taichu Ancient Scripture was too challenging to comprehend.

Even with guidance from the Time Great Saint, he had not grasped it over the past six years.

Not to mention the other treasures left by the Time Great Saint, just the Asking Sky Willow Tree was enough for him to take the risk.

"Coincidentally, I’m almost out of Spirit Pills, and with my skills, I’m not afraid of being hunted down. Staying in the valley is useless."

Xiao Ye’s eyes sparkled with decision.

So, without hesitation, after some preparation, he left the Time Tower, not alerting the Desolate Spirit Beast, and darted towards the exit of the Yellow Mound Spirit Valley.

At the exit of the Yellow Mound Spirit Valley, scattered eerie white bones lay, brimming with abundant spiritual power, making the place full of life and greenery.

These were the over one hundred Martial Artists who chased Xiao Ye into the valley six years ago, only to be killed by the Desolate Spirit Beast.

Though the Spirit Rank warriors had fallen, their bones remained immortal, and with time, might even form a Starry Sky Secret Realm.

"If you were still alive, you wouldn’t be my match now." Xiao Ye looked coldly at the white bones, muttering softly to himself, before calmly walking out of the valley.

Over the six years, although his Realm had not broken through, his strength had undergone earth-shattering changes, no longer the same as before, and he was fully qualified to stand firm in the Second Layer Heaven.

His comprehension of the Three Great Scripture Phases had deepened significantly.

"There are still a few months before the century of the Undying Mountain ends. Let’s check out Tianzhou first."

"I wonder if in these six years, the top ten Alchemists of the Second Layer Heaven have made a move against him." Xiao Ye’s figure ascended into the sky and disappeared.

Back then, when facing Xie Tian’s oppression and exclusion from Martial Artists of the same faction, only Yi Tianzhou stood by his side. This camaraderie left a deep impression on him.

"Damn it, we discovered this ’Fuling Soil’ first!"

"Heh, in the Holy World, Cosmic Spiritual Treasures belong to the strong. If you want it, take it yourselves!"

"Brothers, let’s go together!"

...

In the Second Layer Heaven, amidst the vast green mountains, six Martial Artists were fighting fiercely, eyes wild with madness, for the Cosmic Spiritual Treasure.

"Fuling Soil? A Cosmic Spiritual Treasure used to refine a Fuling Elixir? That’s rare, I want it!"

At this moment, a cold voice suddenly echoed, and a tall figure swooped down from the sky, rudely blasting a martial artist away, directly snatching a piece of red soil, and storing it in a Space Ring.

"What!"

"Put down the Fuling Soil, or I’ll kill you!"

This scene left the other five Martial Artists furious.

But when they saw the newcomer’s face, they were all stunned, unable to utter a word.

"Xiao... Xiao Ye?"

"You’re still alive!"

A moment later, the five Martial Artists exclaimed in shock.

The newcomer, tall and cloaked, with black hair flowing and deep eyes, made them feel as if they had fallen into an ice cellar, their whole bodies cold. It was none other than Xiao Ye, who had trapped and killed over a hundred Spirit Rank warriors back then.

In the Yellow Mound Spirit Valley, the Cosmic Spiritual Treasure and Spirit Pills were nearly depleted; he certainly wouldn’t let go of any good treasures found along the way.

"Oh?"

"You know me."

Xiao Ye was slightly surprised, "If you want to snatch back the Fuling Soil, feel free to try."

Having said that, Xiao Ye left a sentence and disappeared from sight.

It was only several breaths later that the five Martial Artists came back to their senses, not daring to chase after.

The Martial Artist Xiao Ye had blasted away ranked within the top 400 of the Realm Spirit List. If they pursued, the results would likely be the same.

"Xiao Ye is still alive, and seeing the direction he’s heading, he seems to be going to the camp of the Dan Venerable’s son. Notify Lord Xie Tian immediately!"

One of the short Martial Artists quickly took out a Spiritual Pearl, injecting Spiritual Sense to send a message.

Boom!

In the next moment, a mountain tens of thousands of miles away suddenly exploded, a sky-high Killing Aura pierced through the clouds, and a tall figure shot up, none other than Xie Tian.

"Xiao Ye is still alive?"

"Great, you not only took the Asking Heaven Willow but also trapped and killed so many Spirit Rank warriors. This time, I will cut you into a thousand pieces, even the Dan Venerable’s son can’t protect you!"

Xie Tian burst out terrifying Spiritual Power waves, rushing swiftly forward.

Though powerful, six years ago, so many Spirit Rank warriors died pursuing Xiao Ye for him, making him accountable and causing rejection from the top ten Alchemists.

Meanwhile, Xiao Ye’s presence in the Second Layer Heaven was witnessed by many Martial Artists, creating a storm and causing a stir.

Unaware of all this, Xiao Ye, under full speed, after half a month, saw a massive Stone Giant City appear in his vision from afar.

"Hmm? Strange!"

Xiao Ye released his Spiritual Sense, and his eyes flashed with brilliance.
