Primordial Azure Essence!
Ye Chu and Yang Hui gasped in shock. This was far too extraordinary. If chaotic green qi could be called a supreme treasure, then chaotic green essence was beyond any value description. It was a priceless treasure.
This kind of thing should not appear in the world.
Legend had it that the divine spirit within the chaotic green lotus was transformed from chaotic green essence. This was the essence of chaotic green qi. Every single thread was refined from thousands upon thousands of chaotic green qi.
Ye Chu stared blankly at the centre of the chaotic green qi. The chaotic green essence had formed a small world of its own, complete with plants, trees, birds, beasts, yin and yang, and all things. Compared to the chaotic green qi, the amount of chaotic green essence was small, only about the size of a palm.
Yet Ye Chu knew that this palm sized chaotic green essence was more precious than all the chaotic green qi combined.
He tried hard to suppress the greed in his heart. He could not even collect a single thread of chaotic green qi, so how could he collect the chaotic green essence.
“Young master…” Yang Hui’s eyes turned red and she was about to cry. An unparalleled treasure was right in front of them, yet they could not obtain it.
Ye Chu pulled Yang Hui and turned to leave. He truly feared that he could not resist the urge to jump down and seize the chaotic green essence, but if he really did that, he would surely die.
“Chi…”
Just as Ye Chu was about to turn and leave, the black iron above his head began to tremble violently. While Ye Chu was surprised, the black iron suddenly shot forward and rushed into the chaotic green qi.
“No!” Ye Chu cried out in alarm. This was his treasure. If it was destroyed by the chaotic green qi, then… Ye Chu felt he would go mad just thinking about it.
But Ye Chu could not control the black iron. He could only watch helplessly as it sank into the chaotic green essence. The palm sized chaotic green essence that could manifest a whole world was drawn in by it and absorbed into the black iron.
Yet the black iron could not absorb it all, and much of it still wrapped around its body.
All along, the black iron had been extremely mysterious and incredibly powerful. It could easily shake away even the dried corpse experts from the ancient nightmare forbidden land.
But at this moment, after absorbing the chaotic green essence, it began to sink uncontrollably. Clearly, the chaotic green essence was too heavy, so heavy that even the black iron could not bear it.
After the black iron absorbed the chaotic green essence, it moved towards Ye Chu at an extremely heavy and slow speed, then sank into his qi sea.
Ye Chu did not feel even the slightest weight, but when his mind entered the qi sea, he saw that the black iron there gave off a dull glow and felt extremely heavy.
Ye Chu feared that the black iron could not withstand the chaotic green essence and would crush his qi sea. But after waiting a moment, he found that although the black iron had sunk a bit in position within the qi sea, it remained stable there. This instantly filled Ye Chu with great joy!
“Chaotic green essence obtained?” Ye Chu felt as if he was dreaming, and his whole body trembled with delight.
“Young master…” Yang Hui was equally stunned and stared blankly at Ye Chu. She did not know what kind of treasure that black iron of his was. It had saved their lives repeatedly, and now it could even absorb chaotic green essence on its own.
With the chaotic green essence gone, the turbulence below became even more terrifying. Chaotic green qi surged, and perhaps due to its closeness to the chaotic green essence, some chaotic green qi flowed out and penetrated into the bodies of Ye Chu and Yang Hui.
As soon as it entered their bodies, Ye Chu and Yang Hui felt as if they were carrying a huge mountain range. Their qi seas and bodies were about to collapse in the next instant.
Just when the two of them could no longer bear it, a green light surged from within Ye Chu’s body and flowed into both Yang Hui and himself. The previous feeling disappeared completely.
This green light came from the chaotic green essence and the black iron, and it permeated their bodies.
Chaotic green qi continued to pour into their bodies. The chaotic green qi entering Ye Chu merged into the black iron, while the chaotic green qi entering Yang Hui merged into her primordial spirit.
This fusion lasted for a quarter of an hour. When Ye Chu saw the boundless chaotic green qi surging towards them, his expression changed drastically. He grabbed Yang Hui and shot away madly.
Absorbing some of the black iron’s glow could help them, but if such vast chaotic green qi all rushed over, they would likely be crushed into meat paste by its pressure before the black iron could even act.
He had already obtained the chaotic green essence, and Ye Chu did not think he should be greedy any further.
“Go!”
Yang Hui gripped Ye Chu’s hand tightly, and together they rushed towards the distance, entering the deepest part of the palace.
Ye Chu ran all the way, his speed as fast as lightning. Although the path was full of dangers, the black iron’s tremors allowed them to pass safely.
Along this journey, the black iron’s wonders left Ye Chu shocked. He did not know what kind of treasure this was. Even if it was naturally formed, it was still too terrifying.
In the past, a supreme expert had used it to achieve the supreme position. Now it seemed that it was truly far stronger than a supreme weapon.
This was definitely not an ordinary naturally formed object, otherwise it would have shattered long ago after absorbing so much chaotic green essence. Even a supreme weapon could not withstand so much chaotic green essence.
Ye Chu and Yang Hui continued deeper until they finally entered the central great hall.
This great hall was empty, with only a huge pattern at its centre.
This pattern was not unfamiliar to Ye Chu. In fact, it could be said to be very familiar.
“The Eight Trigrams diagram!” Ye Chu was stunned and stared blankly at the Eight Trigrams diagram ahead. In his previous life, Ye Chu could see the Eight Trigrams diagram anywhere. In this world, this was the first time he had seen it.
“Young master! What is wrong?” Yang Hui asked Ye Chu.
Ye Chu looked around. There were no other paths. In the entire great hall, only this Eight Trigrams diagram was present. Clearly, if there was any chance of survival, it would be within this Eight Trigrams diagram.
“Have you heard of Fu Xi’s Eight Trigrams, or the innate Eight Trigrams?” Ye Chu asked Yang Hui.
“I have never heard of it!” Yang Hui shook her head.
“Then have you heard of Fu Xi?” Ye Chu asked again.
Yang Hui was silent for a while before saying, “It seems I have heard of it, but then again I feel I have not.”
Yang Hui’s words made Ye Chu nod. If Fu Xi was truly famous in this world, Yang Hui could not possibly not have heard of him.
There were only two explanations for the Eight Trigrams diagram before them. One was that Fu Xi had truly appeared in this world, but his fame was not prominent, like some reclusive experts. The other explanation was that some supreme divine being had also created the Eight Trigrams diagram.
As one of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, Fu Xi’s achievements needed no mention. He left countless legends in the previous life! Ye Chu did not know whether the legends from his previous life could be believed.
But no matter what, they all proved the extraordinary nature of the Eight Trigrams diagram.
The ultimate principles of heaven and earth are ultimately the same. It was not impossible for someone to have created the Eight Trigrams diagram like Fu Xi.
However, although Ye Chu was quite skilled at courting girls in his previous life, he had not studied the Eight Trigrams diagram. How could he break open this Eight Trigrams diagram? Was he really going to be trapped here?
Ye Chu stared fixedly at the Eight Trigrams diagram before him, his expression cold.
“Young master… what is this?” Yang Hui asked while looking at the Eight Trigrams diagram. She had also realised that they had no way out. Only this strange pattern in front of them might offer a slim chance of survival.
