Chapter 542 - Ch 542: Coincidence Or Destiny!

"Don't force yourself, your Yin Yang Heavenly Eye has yet to awaken. Only when you truly step into the First Stage of Yin Yang Heavenly Eye would you be able to break this formation. Moreover, you need to have at least basic knowledge of formation to break a formation using the Yin Yang Heavenly Eye. I'll advise you to stop otherwise you'll suffer a backlash instead."

Ye Xiao put his hand on the young girl's shoulder and said.

A thick spirit energy instantly surged into the young girl's body, making her mind, which had almost collapsed, clear up a little.

"You are... Why do you... No... How do you know about the Yin Yang Heavenly Eyes?"

The young girl was shocked when she heard Ye Xiao. She never thought that she will come across someone who knows about her greatest secret.

Ye Xiao smiled and replied, "I'll tell you about it later. Let's get to know each other first. My name is Ye Xiao. And you are...?"

"Ji Yanran! Thank you for helping me just now." Ji Yanran's face was slightly pale. Trying to break the formation had consumed too much of her energy. When Ye Xiao sent a few streams of spirit energy inside her body, she finally regained some of her strength.

She slowly leaned against the wall and prepared to rest for a while.

Ye Xiao nodded and asked Ji Yanran: "If my guess is correct, you should come from a very ancient family. There is no shortage of cultivation resources in such ancient families. Why did you participate in the Competition of Myriad Worlds? And... don't tell me that it was for the reward. I'm not going to believe that!"

Ji Yanran hesitated for a while. She thought if she should answer truthfully or keep quiet. But suddenly, she thought of something and started telling Ye Xiao with a bitter smile: "Since you can see through the Yin Yang Heavenly Eyes, I will not hide it from you. I did come from an Ancient Family, Ji Clan. My family is known as Ji Clan in the outside world but in reality, my family is famous with another name "Heavenly Eye Family". Since you already know about the Yin Yang Heavenly Eye, you must have also known about this, right?"

Ye Xiao nodded his head in response, confirming her.

Ji Yanran once again started speaking, "I'm not familiar with you but still, I'm going to answer your question. But before that, I want you to promise me not to reveal anything about me or my family to the outside world. I want you to vow to the Heavens, after all, I've just met you. I can not trust you!"

Ye Xiao again nodded his head. He could understand Ji Yanran's difficulty. He said, "I promise you that I'll not reveal anything about you or your family to the outside world. As for vowing to the Heavens, I'm not gonna do that. Heavens... Heh!"

Ji Yanran stared at Ye Xiao strangely. She could hear mocking emotion in Ye Xiao's sentence when he called the name Heavens. It was as if he was ridiculing the Heavens.

She didn't know why she felt like this, but that was not important. Ye Xiao refused to vow to the Heavens and this made her hesitate once again. But again, thinking of something, she clenched her hand and muttered in her heart: "I hope he is the one who can lead me to get 'that' thing. It's already more than four months and I don't have any lead regarding 'that'. He is the first one to ever know that I possess Yin Yang Heavenly Eyes. He is the only outsider I have met in my days outside who knows something about my family and the Yin Yang Heavenly Eyes!"

"Ptah!"

Ye Xiao snapped his finger and brought Ji Yanran back to her senses.

Ji Yanran looked into Ye Xiao's eyes, took a deep breath, and said: "We, the members of Ji Clan, are born with Yin Yang Heavenly Eyes. But to utilize the powers in our eyes, we have to cultivate a secret cultivation technique and awaken our powers. You have already told me previously that I've yet to awaken the Yin Yang Heavenly Eye. To do that, I have to step into the First Stage of Yin Yang Heavenly Eyes."

"You might not know this that, we can only step into the First Stage or later stages of Yin Yang Heavenly Eyes by cultivating the secret technique."

"My family, Ji Clan has existed for countless years. We are one of the survivors of the Ancient Eras. No one knows how long my family and some other Ancient Families have existed. But... my family in the Upper Realm is just a branch family. The true family is located somewhere in the Divine Realm."

"Generation after generation, countless people from my family ascended to the Divine Realm and along with the passage of time, the cultivation technique to cultivate the Yin Yang Heavenly Eyes was lost. Now, only a fragment of cultivation technique is left in my Ji Clan and it could not even allow a person to step into the First Stage of Yin Yang Heavenly Eye. It could only let us discover use at most one percent of the true potential of the Yin Yang Heavenly Eyes."

"My family put up a lot of effort for hundreds of thousands of years to recover the cultivation technique but what got our hands were only failures."

"But one day, my grandma called me and other members of my family. She told me to participate in the Competition of Myriad Worlds. She had divined that through this Competition of Myriad Worlds, I will come across an opportunity where I can recover at least two stages of the cultivation technique that could allow us to step into the Second Stage of Yin Yang Heavenly Eyes."

"I participated in the Competition of Myriad Worlds because of this. Two Stages of Cultivation Technique to cultivate to the Second Stage of Yin Yang Heavenly Eyes... Sigh! It is extremely important to me and my family. I can not afford to lose this opportunity. That's why I participated in the Competition of Myriad Worlds!"

Saying this, Ji Yanran raised her and asked Ye Xiao: "Now, can you tell me how do you know about the Yin Yang Heavenly Eyes and how were you able to tell that I possess the Yin Yang Heavenly Eyes?" 

Ye Xiao did not answer her. He was still in great shock. He could not help but admire the abilities of the Heavenly Eyes Family. They were actually able to divine something like that.

It has to know that Ye Xiao, through the memories of three Ancient Gods, was able to get the cultivation technique that could help Ji Yanran and her family members step into the Second Stage of Yin Yang Heavenly Eyes.

And what Ji Yanran's Grandma divined was that through this competition, Ji Yanran will come across an opportunity that could allow her to recover two stages of cultivation technique.

Was this just a coincidence?

No, this was not a coincidence, it was more like destiny. It was as if Ye Xiao was destined to cross paths with Ji Yanran and help her family recover the lost cultivation technique.

But... Ye Xiao decided to wait for some time. He had no plan to immediately give Ji Yanran the cultivation technique. He wanted to first get out of this place!

"Mr. Ye Xiao?"

Only when Ji Yanran called Ye Xiao again did he snap out of his shock.

He looked at Ji Yanran and thought of her previous question. He said, "I'll answer you but first, let us get out of this place!"

"Let me see who set this formation."

Ye Xiao's Divine Sense was unleashed. The vast Divine Sense instantly swept across the entire Town.

There were still hundreds of Evil Spirits lingering on this town. Ye Xiao had seen through every single one of their locations.

Above the town was a cluster of the transparent light screen. This was where the formation was located.

From the underground of this town, a large amount of Evil Energy continuously surged into the sky.

If one stayed in such a place for a long time, it was very likely that it would affect one's cultivation or even one's mind.

Ye Xiao's gaze landed on the ground once again. However, after seeing the scene under the soil, Ye Xiao's heart suddenly sank.

He saw a large number of corpses buried under the ground of this small town.

Countless demons, demonic cultivators, humans, and demonic beasts were killed and buried here. Their arms and heads were piled together. The soaring resentment seeped out from the soil and rose into the sky.

As for the people of this town, they had not moved to other places but had all been killed.

Ye Xiao suddenly noticed that at the heart of all the corpses, there was a blood vein that looked like a tree root and branches that were connected to the deepest part.
