In just half a day, the Great Saint of Jinghai led Ye Zhen to the Xiansheng Water Mansion.
The Great Saint of Jinghai and others had been cultivating in Ye Zhen’s Mirage Dragon Pearl Space for more than a year. This ti, they plan to continue their intensive cultivation inside Ye Zhen’s Mirage Dragon Pearl Space.
However, they must make a brief stop at the Three Great Water Palaces, including handling affairs at the Market of Dulong Island, which Ye Zhen also needs to manage briefly.
The Three Great Water Palaces have undergone little change, but under Wen Fuguo’s planning, the Three Water Palaces’ Water Army is turning into a more elite force.
Although the improvent in strength is not huge, they are becoming increasingly well-trained.
Apart from the Three Great Water Palaces, Ye Zhen is most concerned about the intelligence from the Blue-scaled Dragon Palace.
Since the last ti on Five Immortals Island, when the Blue-scaled Dragon King was jointly killed by Ye Zhen and Mountain God Yi Xun, escaping only with his Primordial Spirit, apart from initially consolidating military power, the Blue-scaled Dragon King has made no significant moves.
Intelligence indicates that during this period, aside from appearing regularly, the Blue-scaled Dragon King has been undergoing intensive cultivation.
Of course, Ye Zhen understands the reason behind this.
The Blue-scaled Dragon King last escaped only in Primordial Spirit form, and must find a suitable body for possession.
However, to completely rge the new body with the Primordial Spirit and restore the previous combat power, it requires the Bloodline race and also a long ti of cultivation and tempering.
Ye Zhen believes the reason for the Blue-scaled Dragon King’s intensive cultivation during this period is precisely this.
And Ye Zhen would be glad if the Blue-scaled Dragon King’s cultivation ti were longer.
Currently, the Sky Wing Three Saints are cultivating in Ye Zhen’s Mirage Dragon Pearl Space, where ten years of intensive cultivation have been completed in the space while only one year has passed outside. The more ti the Blue-scaled Dragon King spends cultivating, the smaller the power gap between them and the Blue-scaled Dragon King.
After establishing prestige in the Market of Dulong Island, the shopkeeper newly dispatched from Five Immortals Hall is extrely cooperative.
With Black Wolf and the Great Clan Leader Chu Shengting of the Seven Surnad from Dulong Island, Market of Dulong Island’s transaction volu continues to grow rapidly.
After handling so pending affairs that Gai Jun couldn’t manage, Ye Zhen made an appearance, handed over a portion of the newly transported Heaven and Earth Spiritual dicine from True Profound Continent, and was once again swallowed by the Great Saint of Jinghai, heading toward Five Immortals Island.
With the rapid improvent in the cultivation of the Great Saint of Jinghai, his Water and Sky Connect Divine Skill’s speed and endurance in sea-floor progression have beco faster and more durable.
Originally, the ten-day journey now only took just over a day for the Great Saint of Jinghai — and this was without using maximum speed.
Unfortunately, upon reaching Five Immortals Island, Mountain God Yi Xun was away on business.
Ye Zhen wasn’t in a hurry, so after sending a na card, he cultivated on the island while waiting for Mountain God Yi Xun’s return.
Thirteen days later, after completing his tasks, Mountain God Yi Xun returned to Five Immortals Island, rested briefly, and invited Ye Zhen over for a conversation.
"Count Ye, if I’m not mistaken, you must be here for that reward notice this ti," Mountain God Yi Xun said frankly upon eting.
Seeing Ye Zhen nod, Mountain God Yi Xun enthusiastically pulled Ye Zhen into laughter, "I had anticipated Count Ye would co for this matter, so I prepared thoroughly upon my return yesterday.
Look, I’ve already brought the Shadow Capture Jade Slip containing the reward requirents delivered by Wang Baimu, along with related intelligence."
"In that case, Ye Zhen thanks Elder Yi in advance." Ye Zhen was a bit surprised.
"Oh, why be so formal? It’s just a small matter, no need for thanks," Mountain God Yi Xun said, full of generosity.
Sotis, Ye Zhen felt that Mountain God Yi Xun seed excessively enthusiastic towards him, a Martial Artist of Dark Palace Realm.
Typically, excessive enthusiasm often harbors ulterior motives, but with prolonged interaction, Ye Zhen found that Mountain God Yi Xun’s intentions were surprisingly straightforward.
Confounded, Ye Zhen could only accept it with equanimity.
"Co, let’s study this Shadow Capture Jade Slip brought by Wang Baimu." As he spoke, a light curtain radiated from Elder Yi’s palm.
Initially visible was a person’s chest, violently heaving, covered with scorched marks.
This is a subterranean passage thick with magma, where the red hot magma flowing from the surface hints at high temperatures, splattering everywhere.
In the Shadow Capture scene, the scenery rapidly changed, about half a quarter-hour traversing the subterranean magma passage, which gradually beca more expansive. But as a mass of multi-colored mist rose, visibility beca poor.
"This mist surely contains poison. Should you truly wish to harvest, exercise extre caution," Mountain God Yi Xun warned.
Within the colorful mist, the person’s pace, who recorded the Shadow Capture Jade Slip, slowed significantly, evidently careful.
"Elder Yi, there might be sothing terrifying hidden within this mist...."
Half a quarter-hour later, the mist abruptly vanished, the Spirit Shadow dissipated, and Mountain God Yi Xun produced another Shadow Capture Jade Slip.
Mist reappeared, and after half an hour of traversing, the Martial Artist recording the Spirit Shadow Jade Slip finally reached a simring mud pool, mist rising.
In the center of the mud pool, a one-ter-high plant with five branches of dark green scarlet-marked sprouts spread out like five fingers. At the center of the Five Seed Leaves, a fruit glowed with green light, shimring with Spirit Light.
"The Five Seed Pogranate Fruit is indeed a Heaven and Earth Spiritual Object that can replenish origin power, but Elder Yi, do you sense anything peculiar about this swamp..."
Ye Zhen’s words were not finished before the scene shattered before him. Ye Zhen looked at Mountain God Yi Xun, "Elder Yi, is there any more?"
Mountain God Yi Xun shook his head, "Only these two Shadow Capture Jade Slips, but both I and our Five Immortals Hall’s pill master have studied them more than ten tis, and we can confirm that the fruit is indeed the Five Seed Pogranate Fruit and that it seems to have matured."
"Matured?"
"Elder Yi, if it has matured, then why didn’t Wang Baimu, who entered the swamp, pick such a priceless Heaven and Earth Spiritual Object? Wouldn’t that be more valuable?" Ye Zhen asked.
"Just as you said, the secret might lie within that swamp. There may be sothing in the swamp that even Wang Baimu is extrely cautious of," Mountain God Yi Xun replied.
After pondering for a mont, Ye Zhen asked again, "Elder Yi, do you know Wang Baimu’s cultivation level?"
"I don’t know the exact cultivation, but judging from the strength he displayed in these two Spirit Shadows, we can basically conclude that Wang Baimu’s cultivation is not yet at the Dao Realm but is very close to it.
Moreover, this person likely has mastery in several Divine Power Secret Techniques and should not be underestimated."
"Dao Realm, several Divine Power Secret Techniques?" Ye Zhen’s expression beca more serious, "Even such a powerful individual dares not pick the Five Seed Pogranate Fruit; this treasure quest I am undertaking might not be easy."
Upon hearing this, Mountain God Yi Xun’s expression beca solemn, "Ye Zhen, this matter is exactly what I want to bring up with you."
"After returning yesterday, I had a eting with my master. As you know, my master’s Heavenly Fortune Divine Ability is unfathomable, able to dictate prosperity and misfortune, and predict fortune and disaster.
My master said your journey—great misfortune!"
"Great misfortune?"
These words caused Ye Zhen’s pupils to shrink abruptly, "Is Grand Venerable’s indication truly great misfortune? Is there a thod to turn misfortune to fortune?"
Mountain God Yi Xun slowly shook his head, "I have asked about this matter too, but my master said the Five Seed Pogranate Fruit itself is a Heaven and Earth Treasure, its fortune is bizarre and difficult to fathom.
Even stranger, once my master uses the Heavenly Fortune Technique to unfold Count Ye’s matter, the Heavenly Secret becos obscure, increasing the difficulty of unfolding by dozens of tis.
Despite exhausting divine skills, my master could only derive the words ’great misfortune’.
Not just this matter, even the last ti when deducing the whereabouts of the Caiyi girl that Count Ye was seeking, due to this situation, he could only deduce one word: ’south’.
"How can this be?" Ye Zhen was shocked.
"When manifesting my matter, the Heavenly Secret becos obscure? Does Grand Venerable know the reason?" Ye Zhen asked.
"The reason is not really a secret, usually the Heavenly Secret related to individuals with great fortune, possession of a treasure, covered by a Great Divine Power Practitioner, or relating to Heaven and Earth major changes will beco obscure and difficult to predict.
As to which of these Count Ye belongs, it’s hard to say," Mountain God Yi Xun responded.
Listening to this, Ye Zhen felt a stir in his heart.
Ye Zhen didn’t believe his fortune was great, nor did he think soone with Great Divine Power would veil his Heavenly Secret; he wasn’t worth that much.
The only possibility might be possession of a treasure, "Perhaps, related to the Mirage Dragon Pearl."
"My master’s prediction indicating great misfortune often ans nine deaths and one life, so both Grand Venerable and I advise Count Ye to temporarily cancel this plan to avoid great calamity." Yi Xun said.
"Cancel?"
Ye Zhen shook his head resolutely; after searching for so long and offering a high bounty of thirty Spirit Void Fruits, the opportunity to awaken the Little Demon finally arose.
Not to ntion the fact that the Little Demon consud origin power due to Ye Zhen and fell into a deep sleep. Regarding Ye Zhen, the Little Demon was born and grew within Ye Zhen’s Wood Vein, akin to Ye Zhen’s child.
Finding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Objects that can replenish origin power is extrely rare, and after more than six years, finally, there was information.
"Elder Yi, I know you all an well for , but I won’t let this opportunity pass, no matter how dangerous, even if it ans nine deaths and one life, I must go. I ask Elder Yi to help contact Wang Baimu," Ye Zhen said.
Mountain God Yi Xun’s eyes flashed a look as if he had expected this, and he said, "I won’t hide from you, Wang Baimu was already contacted by my people yesterday, and we received a reply.
But he said he is handling an important matter in a Foreign Realm; the quickest return would be in a year."
"A year, then I’ll wait! If Wang Baimu returns, Elder Yi, please notify imdiately," Ye Zhen said.
Half a quarter-hour later, Mountain God Yi Xun watched Ye Zhen’s departing figure with a slight bitter smile at the corner of his mouth, "Wang Baimu said he can wait for you for at most a year, and I can only deceive both sides, postponing this matter for a year.
Hopefully, within a year’s ti, the Heavenly Secret and fortune change, easing the ominous sign, preventing it from being so fierce..."
With that, Mountain God Yi Xun sighed deeply, "The great misfortune prediction, my master has issued a total of thirteen great misfortune predictions in three hundred years, and none of the recipients could overco the calamity."
"And Ye Zhen is the fourteenth!"
