Chapter 2053: Chapter 1916: Treasures of All Kinds

"Honestly, Brother Ye, we really owe you this time."

After some playful banter, Yue Haoyu said with a bit of melancholy.

Over the years, cultivators from the Xuan Realm have not had an easy time on the Xing Kong Gu Road. Many forces look down on them, even bullying them like the ones on Jiang Sheng Star.

Despite Yue Haoyu and Yue Chuan being strong, they can’t look after every Xuan Realm trialist.

For many years, they have been under immense pressure, cultivating desperately, hoping to become stronger so they wouldn’t be discriminated against and bullied by others.

But Ye Fan’s battle showed the Xuan Realm’s might, destined to shake the entire Xing Kong Gu Road, greatly boosting the Xuan Realm’s morale.

After this battle, those forces that discriminated against the Xuan Realm would surely restrain themselves, not daring to bully the Xuan Realm trialists recklessly.

"Yes, Brother Ye, you don’t know how satisfying it was when you forcefully slew Di Tang."

"Indeed, after being suppressed for so long, we can finally hold our heads high."

"Now I can stand tall and say I’m from the Xuan Realm."

Several other Xuan Realm trialists unfamiliar with Ye Fan also stepped forward, expressing their gratitude for everything he had done for the Xuan Realm cultivators.

"No need for that, as a Xuan Realm cultivator, it’s natural for me to do something for the Xuan Realm. It’s part of my duty." Ye Fan humbly stated, touching many deeply.

"From today on, if anyone dares bully Xuan Realm cultivators, I’ll crush their yolk." The Great Demon waved fiercely, making a gesture as if crushing something.

"You? Among Ba Cangtian, Xiao Peng Emperor, and Martial Immortal, which one are you a match for, you’re just bluffing." Yu chanzi mercilessly retorted.

"Baldy, shut up." The Great Demon glared, rolling up his sleeves, looking ready for a fight.

"Oh, want to fight?" Yu chanzi, with a demeanor of a serene monk, spoke sharply.

It’s their natural clash; whenever they are together, they can’t speak three sentences before a fight breaks out.

"Fight if you want, do you think I’m afraid?" The Great Demon’s stubbornness flared, ready to begin, but was forcefully held back by Ye Fan and Yue Haoyu.

"Enough, everyone say less, pursuing opportunity is important, others have already vanished during this squabble, and soon the golden flower will have cooled." Bai Yan wolf grumbled dissatisfiedly.

"Humph!"

"Humph!"

The Great Demon and Yu chanzi each tilted their heads, snorting disdainfully through their nostrils, making Ye Fan particularly headache-ridden.

"All these years, you’ve truly endured a lot." Ye Fan discreetly articulated via divine consciousness Transmission to Yue Haoyu and the others.

"Sigh..."

The group chuckled bitterly; they’ve grown used to these two troublemakers fighting together every day, it’s abnormal if they don’t argue.

"Ye, what do you think this unparalleled opportunity is?"

The group discussed as they traveled, all curious about what Elder Tianji had deduced as the unparalleled opportunity, but couldn’t guess anything substantial after a long time. The Great Demon inquired of Ye Fan.

"No idea!"

Ye Fan shook his head, saying: "Cultivation Technique, martial arts, secret technique, elixir pills, inspiration... all are possible, no one knows what the so-called unparalleled opportunity entails until the last moment."

"Whoosh!"

A beam of Killing Light suddenly attacked, taking a strand of Li Yu’er’s hair, narrowly piercing him.

"What is it?" Li Yu’er looked solemn, eyes like golden lamps, dazzling beyond compare.

If not for his sharp Divine Sense, his brow would’ve certainly been pierced, leaving him shocked and angry.

Such terrifying existences within the Emperor Palace leave one uneasy.

"Holy Sword Orchid! It’s actually a Holy Sword Orchid, catch it, don’t let it escape." In a flash of light ahead, Bai Yan wolf exuberantly shouted, though none saw what it was.

Simultaneously, it spat out eighteen Array Flags, striking the void, sealing ten directions, ready to capture the Holy Sword Orchid alive.

"What is a Holy Sword Orchid?" Ye Fan was perplexed; it was his first time hearing about such a thing.

But seeing Bai Yan wolf’s greedy look, visibly excited, it’s evident that the Holy Sword Orchid must be something good; otherwise it wouldn’t be so concerned.

"Sigh, let it have the advantage." The Golden Divine Dragon sighed, no longer competing with Bai Yan wolf.

Seeing Ye Fan’s puzzled face, the Golden Divine Dragon spoke disdainfully: "Master, you really are ignorant, not even knowing about the Holy Sword Orchid."

Ye Fan wiped his sweat; he truly didn’t know. This dragon has lived for endless ages, having cut away most of its memories, equivalent to rebirth, yet still incomparable to him, it’s simply a living fossil.

"The Holy Sword Orchid is a rare species, born of the will of heaven and earth. It produces only one leaf that resembles a Holy Sword in its lifetime, incredibly sharp. If harvested and subdued, it can be used as a Holy Weapon, and it can grow, with the ability to attack independently."

Yue Haoyu explained before the Golden Divine Dragon had a chance.

Ye Fan was greatly astonished, didn’t expect something could grow into a Holy Weapon in nature, how fantastic is that?

It’s known that even those in the Holy Land may not possess many Holy Weapons.

First, Holy Weapons are extremely difficult to refine successfully with a high failure rate, secondly, the materials are too precious, hard to gather.

"Ow ow... It’s killing this king with pain."

From the array flag came the Bai Yan wolf’s loud cries, full of energy, vigorous as a dragon or tiger, clearly unharmed.

Shortly after, with scars all over its body, the Bai Yan wolf walked out from the array flag, a cold, shining Killing Sword suspended above its head, the sharp murderous intent directly pressing on one’s divine soul.

"Damn it, just a feeble Holy Sword Orchid; once I make a move, it’s easily subdued." The Bai Yan wolf boasted shamelessly.

"Really? Who was just crying out loud, and those scars all over you, did you scratch them yourself because you were itchy?" The Golden Divine Dragon hit back unceremoniously.

"Get lost, I do as I please. What, not convinced? Then you go and subdue one." The Bai Yan wolf said gloomily.

The Emperor Palace was vast, forming a world of its own, only a Great Emperor could have such grandeur; without reaching the end, you’ll never know what’s ahead.

The Bai Yan wolf communicated with the Holy Sword Orchid, inquiring about everything here, but the Holy Sword Orchid couldn’t provide a clear answer. Its range of movement was limited to this first layer of the Emperor Palace. As for what the next layer was like, it had never seen it. ℯℯ𝑙.

After learning this, Ye Fan and the others didn’t delay further, quickening their pace towards the entrance to the second layer.

Along the way, they encountered several fierce beast attacks, but under the deterrence of the Golden Divine Dragon’s True Dragon Breath, they all wilted like kittens.

These fierce beasts had no Beast Core nor inner core within them, a very peculiar type of creature.

Witnessing this, Ye Fan felt a stir in his heart, remembering the creatures on Earth; before the change of heaven and earth, most creatures on Earth didn’t have an inner core or Beast Core.

What connection does this Emperor Palace have with Earth?

Whose palace was this really? No one knew. To this day, Ye Fan and the others still couldn’t be sure.

The starry skies were vast, history was long, yet true Great Emperors were scarce. Which Great Emperor established this palace here, and for what purpose? No one knew.

Soon, they entered the second layer of the Emperor Palace, which seemed like a folded space, sprawling endlessly.

"This seems like a maze. Everyone, be very careful not to get lost, or we might never get out." The Bai Yan wolf cautiously warned everyone.

"Buzz!"

The Peacock, walking at the front, was suddenly swallowed by a giant flower, vibrant and seemingly harmless, even emitting a faint fragrance like Divine Medicine, yet so deadly.

"Open!"

From within the closed flower came the angry shout of the Peacock, a pair of Divine Wings like Heavenly Blades forcefully slicing the petals, emerging from within.

His face was pale as he said, "How formidable, it could actually devour my Divine Power. Almost fell for it."

"This is a Devouring God Flower, it’s said to devour even gods. Luckily, it’s in its juvenile stage, otherwise you’d be dead for sure." The Bai Yan wolf said in shock.

The flower, after being sliced to pieces, quickly withered, leaving only ashes on the ground, even the vines disappeared.

After taking a sip of Divine Liquid, the Peacock looked a little better, becoming cautious, realizing the Emperor Palace was full of dangers, and obtaining world-shaking fortunes wasn’t so easy.

Next, the Bai Yan wolf and the Golden Divine Dragon led the way. The two misfits were familiar with all kinds of dangerous flora and fauna and wouldn’t easily fall into traps, often providing early warning for everyone else.

"Rustle!"

Ahead, the light brightened considerably. A large blue tree blocked the path, its leaves a deep blue, emitting a faint, exotic fragrance.

However, hanging from the tree were corpses, as if they had been hung, a terrifying scene.

"Ssss..."

The Bai Yan wolf sucked in a breath of cold air and said, "Go around it, do not offend it. This is a Blue Spirit Tree, one of the most demonic things in the world, specializing in devouring cultivators’ divine souls, even a Quasi-Emperor would fall victim."

As he spoke, the Bai Yan wolf immediately invoked the Purple Gold Bell, holding it above its head and giving a wide berth to the malicious tree.

Why were such demonic things in the Emperor Palace? Ye Fan and the others were puzzled.

But it was not the time to delve into this, Yue Chuan invoked a replica of the Human Emperor Seal, suspending it above their heads, protecting everyone from having their divine souls sucked away by the Blue Spirit Tree.

"Ye, if possible, you should cut off a branch of the Blue Spirit Tree; it’s extremely effective for Soul Gathering." The Bai Yan wolf urged Ye Fan.

"Shut up, you scoundrel." The Golden Divine Dragon said angrily.

He knew that Ye Fan had always been searching for materials to refine Soul Gathering Pills, but this cursed Blue Spirit Tree should not be provoked, lest one doesn’t even know how they died.

Hearing the Bai Yan wolf’s words, Ye Fan was greatly tempted; he wanted to break off a branch, even if there was only a one in a million chance, he was unwilling to give up.

"Master, don’t listen to this dead wolf. This creature is the least reliable; it’s fooling you." The Peacock said.

"I want to try!" Ye Fan said, unwilling to give up any chance.

The Blue Spirit Tree was rare, missing this chance meant it might be hard to find another.

"But this demonic Blue Spirit Tree devours cultivators’ divine souls, you simply can’t get close!" Yue Haoyu and the others also advised him not to take risks, saying it’s not worth it.

"I have my own considerations, I won’t risk it." Ye Fan said firmly, while operating Mystical Skill, completely sealing his own vitality and releasing the Death Aura.

At this moment, Ye Fan seemed more dead than the dead themselves.

For Su Liuli, he decided to take a risk and try...
