Chapter 298: Chapter 145: Night March of a Hundred Ghosts_2

The Source-purifying True Profound Qi is a renowned Upper Tier Heavenly Qi in the Primal Chaos Realm, only produced in the minor Clear Void Heaven.

While it lacks attack power compared to other Upper Tier Heavenly Qi, it connects uniquely with the Sainthood Attainment Enlightenment Array Formation, facilitating the comprehension of the true methods of Divine Skills cultivation.

Given its precious benefits, the value of the Source-purifying True Profound Qi can’t be overstated. A full portion has never leaked from the minor Clear Void Heaven in tens of thousands of years.

Even if it did leak, as in the case of Yu Ke’s Origin-purifying Precious Jade, there would only be a trace of Heavenly Qi. This makes it inadequate for refining purposes but can still assist in cultivation.

The Source-purifying True Profound Qi in the Origin-purifying Precious Jade is so scarce that its effects are not outstanding.

However, because it is linked with the Upper Tier Heavenly Qi, it leads the surface value of the Origin-purifying Precious Jade to highly exceed its actual worth.

In the eyes of discerning individuals, spirit objects like the Origin-purifying Precious Jade seem too unpalatable to enjoy but too precious to discard.

Because of this reason, Yu Ke was willing to easily offer the Origin-purifying Precious Jade as compensation.

However, what Yu Ke could not have anticipated is that even a trace of Heavenly Qi represents endless Heavenly Qi for Shen Yuan, who possesses the Nine Breaths Great Magic Power.

Such a spirit object is a treasure that could quickly transform into Shen Yuan’s own combat power.

Suppressing his joy, Shen Yuan closed the jade box in his hand and put it back into his Storage Ring.

In fact, Shen Yuan had no real intention of attacking Yu Ke.

His only current method of threatening Spirit Refining practitioners is Primal Chaos Energy, while Yu Ke has the advantage in cultivation strength. Being a reserve Sacred Sage in the minor Clear Void Heaven, Yu Ke must have other cards up his sleeve.

Under these circumstances, forcing out a Golden Light Spell Talisman and an Origin-purifying Precious Jade was already quite rewarding for Shen Yuan.

Dispelling the pressure from the Primal Chaos Energy with a wave of his hand, Yu Ke finally breathes a sigh of relief, quickly stopping his incantations and withdrawing the Golden Light Spell.

Looking at the Golden Light Spell in his hand, where most of the precious light has dissipated, Yu Ke knows that this valuable Golden Light Spell Talisman is incapable of sustaining a full fight, which makes him wince.

However, the present crisis is at least temporarily resolved.

“Not a loss!”

Yu Ke could only use these words to console himself, hiding his resentment deep within his heart.

The impending conflict had subsided, a sight welcomed by everyone present.

Everyone’s gaze was directed towards the stone platform that had been repaired at some point. Above it, the Heaven and Earth Gates exuded an antique and profound aura.

Dong Youzi stepped forward onto the high platform, his eyes constantly flicking between the Heaven and Earth Gates. Then he turned to Shen Yuan and asked:

“Friend Shen, did you have company during the previous Earth Gate trials?”

Shen Yuan shook his head and said, “Everyone in the first layer was out of sight of each other, so naturally, there was no company.”

Dong Youzi looked into the depths and said:

“In the past trials involving more than thirteen layers, even among the historical residues in the Mortals Gate, it was possible to encounter other trialists at the same layer.

This time, with the disappearance of the Mortals Gate, everyone will enter the Earth Gate trials. I fear we will all be transported to the same testing place.”

With his words falling, a strange smile curved up on Dong Youzi’s icy face.

“See you in the trials.”

As his words fell, Dong Youzi pushed open the Earth Gate, his figure disappearing above the platform.

Ji Zhaoyang saw this and laughed. He stepped onto the stone platform.

“Friend Shen, I will go first.”

Hea Zhen and Yu Ke frowned slightly, exchanged glances and jointly stepped onto the stone platform, opening the door to the Earth Gate trials together.

In the entire thirteen layers, only Shen Yuan remained.

Shen Yuan did not choose to enter the trial immediately, but instead looked up towards the sky.

The golden eye that had descended the Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda to bestow blessings had already disappeared, but Shen Yuan could still feel the gaze that seemed to be spying.

In that gaze, there seemed to be a trace of unutterable malice.

Retracting his gaze, Shen Yuan felt a surge of caution in his heart and then walked towards the platform to open the Earth Gate.

A spatial passage appeared out of the endless void. Before Shen Yuan had a chance to capture the pulse of the spatial change, his figure had already appeared on a desolate wilderness.

The sun in the sky was casting dim light, gradually setting towards the west, marking the transition from daylight to dusk.

Everything that came into view on this land was of a dull, decayed color.

Looking around, Shen Yuan found himself in a wild and barren area. Not far away were several fields and dilapidated wooden houses that had been abandoned for a long time, seemingly devoid of any human presence.

The entire barren land was filled with an indefinable sense of desolation.

“There are traces of human habitation?”

A touch of curiosity rose in Shen Yuan’s heart.

During the previous Earth Gate trials, out of curiosity, he had explored the mountains but had not found any traces of human habitation.

Unexpectedly, in this place he had come to this time, there were still people living.

“Maybe I can find out where this is from the local residents.”

Such a thought flashed in Shen Yuan’s mind, but then he felt a flicker of doubt.

“The Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda would block Tianji even for a desolate mountain. Wouldn’t this place be an exception? Or does this place hide some other secrets?”

With this thought, Shen Yuan walked towards the few dilapidated wooden houses.

These houses had been abandoned for decades and looked as if they could collapse at any moment. But from the external shape of the houses, even when they were still intact, they could be considered quite simple.
