Hearing Ye Jingyun’s warning, Yang Hui tugged at Ye Chu beside her and said, “Young master, if you cannot obtain it, do not force it. There will still be chances to get a spatial artifact. Do not risk your life.”
Ye Chu smiled at Yang Hui, his gaze fixed heavily on the stone table. He could not sense anything, which made Ye Chu unable to resist walking toward the stone table.
“Young master!” Yang Ning was also startled and wanted to pull Ye Chu back, but Ye Chu shook his head and stopped her.
Ye Jingyun stood to one side, holding Yang Ning back as she said, “Do not worry. This fellow values his life more than anyone. After all, with you two beautiful companions by his side, how could he bear to die?”
Hearing Ye Jingyun’s words, Yang Ning’s face turned somewhat flushed. But thinking of Ye Chu’s miraculous feats these past days, she ultimately did not stop Ye Chu.
Ye Chu walked to a position less than three metres from the stone table. At this moment, Ye Chu felt a strange power. This strange power could affect his primordial spirit, and his primordial spirit was about to leave his body.
The green lotus now radiated with shaking light, its green glow flickering. The chaotic green essence carried a weight like mountain ranges, suppressing Ye Chu’s primordial spirit and calming the restless primordial spirit, settling it steadily within Ye Chu’s qi sea.
The strange feeling Ye Chu had just felt instantly vanished, and a layer of green light also covered Ye Chu’s body, surging forth from the green lotus.
The green lotus was indeed extraordinary, transmitting waves of cool sensation to Ye Chu, making his consciousness even clearer. This was a miraculous effect, proving the green lotus’s extraordinariness and making Ye Chu even more convinced that the green lotus itself nurtured the Great Dao.
Ye Chu walked forward again, the green light flickering even more intensely. That strange feeling reappeared, but it could not affect Ye Chu. Ye Chu steadily walked to the front of the stone table.
Ye Chu walked calmly, but it made Ye Jingyun and the others hold their breath, because where Ye Chu stood, there were quite a few skeletons beneath his feet. Clearly, this place was dangerous. If not for seeing Ye Chu’s natural expression, they would have wanted to shout for Ye Chu to come back.
Walking to the front of the stone table, less than one chi from the stone table, Ye Chu could clearly see every trace of pattern on the stone table.
The stone table was very ordinary, just like an ordinary stone table. But it was precisely this ordinariness that proved its absolute extraordinariness. Ye Chu’s gaze fell on the jade belt. The jade belt flashed with green light, its waves flowing, containing the radiance of the sun and moon. From its appearance, it was at minimum a sun-and-moon artifact.
Ye Chu looked at this jade belt, thought for a moment, then suddenly reached out to grab the jade belt.
“Ye Chu! Do not act rashly!” Ye Jingyun finally could not help shouting out. Her elders had repeatedly warned not to get ideas about the jade belt. Ye Chu grabbing it now, I am afraid…
But Ye Jingyun’s words had just finished when she saw Ye Chu’s hand land on the jade belt, completely picking it up. This made Ye Jingyun stand there stunned. Ye Chu had grabbed the jade belt, yet nothing happened at all. Ye Chu’s expression remained natural.
“He obtained the spatial artifact just like that?” Ye Jingyun was astonished, finding it unbelievable. Her elders had repeatedly warned not to get ideas about it, yet Ye Chu had picked it up so easily.
To outsiders, it seemed Ye Chu had easily picked up the jade belt, but they had not thought that at this moment, Ye Chu was also enduring terrifying danger. There was a terrifying concept intending to affect Ye Chu’s primordial spirit, wanting to strip his primordial spirit away.
Ye Chu’s green lotus shook, chaotic green qi wrapping around the green lotus, rotating to resist this concept stripping the primordial spirit.
The green lotus’s extraordinariness was now fully displayed. As its light flickered, it truly seemed like a self-nurturing heaven and earth, with chaotic green qi protecting the body, possessing the divine effect of being invulnerable to all methods.
Although the external concept was terrifying, it could not shake Ye Chu’s primordial spirit.
Ye Chu stood steadily there, the green lotus shaking, resisting the concept. The jade belt was gripped tightly in Ye Chu’s hand, unable to be picked up further, yet the jade belt also could not break free from Ye Chu’s hand.
Thus, Ye Chu and the jade belt fell into a kind of equilibrium. Yang Hui and Yang Ning now witnessed a strange scene. Ye Chu seemed to have been hit by a body-binding technique, standing straight there with his hand gripping the jade belt.
“How could this be? What is Ye Chu facing now?” Ye Jingyun was puzzled.
Of course, Ye Jingyun did not know how terrifying the concept Ye Chu was facing was. Ye Chu could only withstand it with the green lotus. One could imagine how powerful it was just from this.
The green lotus’s own profundity need not be mentioned. What was even more superior was that within Ye Chu’s green lotus, there was black iron suppressing it, and also chaotic green essence. Any one of these was extraordinarily uncommon. Although Ye Chu’s cultivation realm was not high at this moment, with them protecting his primordial spirit, it was not something an ordinary concept could shake.
Yet at this moment, this concept was actually maintaining equilibrium with the green lotus.
“Miss Jingyun, your elders did not say what kind of place this is?” Yang Hui became somewhat worried. Ye Chu had been standing there for an hour now.
Ye Jingyun said, “The family elders only said it was a place where a past sage had resided, but did not say which sage. They only said this sage was absolutely world-shaking!”
This made Yang Hui and Yang Ning even more worried, their gazes fixed straight on Ye Chu.
At this very moment, patterns suddenly appeared on the stone table, stone chairs, and stone couch in this cave. These patterns appeared and resonated with each other, resonating with the spiritual energy in the cave, and even that concept merged into it.
The stone table, stone chairs, and stone couch transformed from their previous ordinariness, radiating light in all directions, their patterns flashing with mysterious light. They slowly began to condense in the void, and after a moment, a human figure suddenly appeared in the void.
The moment this figure appeared, a world-shaking majesty surged forth. This majesty was absolutely world-shaking, as if it were a supreme emperor, with the nine heavens and ten earths beneath his feet.
This was a terrifying aura. This aura surged from the illusory figure, seeming to emanate from the very marrow of his bones, possessing an invincible dominance and power, with the nine heavens and ten earths all submitting to him.
Feeling this aura, Ye Jingyun, Yang Hui, and Yang Ning’s faces instantly turned pale, their entire bodies pressed to prostrate on the ground. This aura swept out, and all living beings throughout the mountain range prostrated on the ground without exception.
The illusory figure was like an emperor, a supreme being, looking down upon all things in the world.
“S… Supreme!”
Ye Jingyun was horrified in her heart, looking at the illusory figure before her in disbelief. She was terrified beyond her own control. Although she knew this was a past sage’s cave dwelling, she had not expected it to be a Supreme’s cave dwelling. Only a Supreme could erupt with a world-shaking majesty of “the nine heavens and ten earths, I alone am supreme” from a single illusory figure.
Ye Jingyun now only felt her breathing become difficult. This was too world-shaking. What kind of figure was a Supreme? An invincible, world-shaking existence in the world, their traces hard to find, mostly legends. But she had not expected to encounter one in this dilapidated temple.
“Which Supreme is this?” Ye Jingyun was terrified, recalling the legends about Supremes in her mind. Thinking of this Supreme illusory figure’s appearance, a name passed into Ye Jingyun’s mind, making Ye Jingyun’s head feel as if it were about to explode.
