“It is fine! They are all concealing their faces, I can mix in!” Ye Chu said to Ye Jingyun.
“But what about your aura…” Ye Jingyun was still worried.
Ye Chu smiled, and his aura suddenly changed. A cold, bloody aura surged forth. As this aura surged, Ye Jingyun felt her Origin Spirit being suppressed, as if it were about to be devoured by this aura.
Ye Jingyun’s eyes lit up. She could naturally tell that this aura was exactly the same as that of the Blood Guards.
“How did you do that?” Such a means of changing one’s own aura was simply unbelievable.
“This is my Law,” Ye Chu explained to Ye Jingyun. His Law did not conform to fixed rules, so it could naturally change at his will. Moreover, because of the Soul Devouring and Origin Transforming Art, he could mimic the exact same aura.
“What exactly is your Law?” Ye Jingyun had always felt that Ye Chu’s Law was too unique. She was about to step into the Emperor realm. If she could comprehend her own Law upon reaching the Emperor realm, it would be wonderful.
“What? You want to ask for some experience?” Ye Chu looked at Ye Jingyun and smiled. “You possess the bloodline of a powerhouse, so comprehending a Law is actually quite easy for you. Your realm is almost there. With just a single opportunity, you can rely on the foundation of your bloodline to possess your own Law. Added to the fact that you have consumed two types of holy liquid, you do not need to fear even if you encounter a prodigy.”
Ye Jingyun nodded and said, “I know that too, but I have never been able to grasp it.”
“A Law is born from the mind. At this moment, the most obvious manifestation of your mind is your intent. Continually refine your intent, and when everything is just right, it will happen as naturally as water flowing in a canal.” Ye Chu spoke to Ye Jingyun, while putting his clothes back on. “You stay here. I am going to meet them and hopefully snatch the Giant Dragon Token back.”
Watching Ye Chu walk into the village, as soon as he entered, someone bowed respectfully and said, “The lord has returned?”
“Mm,” Ye Chu hummed lowly. “Where are the other lords?”
“The lords are all in the manor!” The villagers were clearly servants of the Blood Guards, respectful and not even daring to look up at Ye Chu.
Ye Chu walked towards the manor. The manor was huge, but as soon as Ye Chu entered, he saw several Blood Guards gathered together. The Blood Guard who had snatched the Giant Dragon Token was among them.
“Come over and take a look together, to see what secrets are hidden within this Giant Dragon Token.” Seeing Ye Chu walk in, the Blood Guard who had taken the token waved at him.
Ye Chu nodded and walked over to the group. He saw the Giant Dragon Token placed in the centre of the table. The token was carved with a giant dragon, lifelike and vivid, as if the golden dragon were about to soar into the sky at any moment.
Seeing everyone’s gazes fall on him, Ye Chu reached out and picked up the Giant Dragon Token, examining it for a moment. However, apart from making his mind clear when he held it, he did not notice any other anomalies.
After Ye Chu examined it for a while, the Blood Guards asked him, “Well? Did you figure anything out?”
Ye Chu shook his head and put the Giant Dragon Token back on the table.
“Rumour has it that there is a secret within the Giant Dragon Token, a kind of evil qi. If we can obtain this evil qi and give it to the lord, it will allow the lord to devour more cultivators to nourish his master,” one of the Blood Guards said. “So, no matter what, we must obtain the evil qi!”
“It is just that, apart from being greatly useful for a cultivator’s practice, the Giant Dragon Token shows no other anomalies. We have no idea where to start our research, so how can we uncover its secrets?” one of the Blood Guards complained somewhat.
“The Giant Dragon City has guarded it for so many years, and they have not seen through its secrets. I am afraid we will not be able to see through it in the short term either.”
“Should we show it to the lord? Perhaps he has a way to comprehend its secrets.”
“No! We Blood Guards only have one stronghold here. If we go to find the lord, the journey is too far. During this time, who knows how many people will set their sights on the Giant Dragon Token, and there will be plenty who are stronger than us. They already know we have snatched the token. As soon as we show up, we will definitely face massive sieges. Only by hiding in this village can we be safe.”
“This…”
The several Blood Guards picked up the Giant Dragon Token and examined it again. But the result was still deeply disappointing. They could not find the slightest clue from it.
“Everyone, try channeling power into it and see what happens,” the lead Blood Guard shouted, taking the initiative to drive his power, continuously surging into the Giant Dragon Token. “Many secret items require accumulating energy before they can erupt.”
His power continuously drove into it, and the Giant Dragon Token actually kept absorbing it. No matter how terrifying the power he surged, the Giant Dragon Token accepted it all.
This made the several Blood Guards extremely surprised. The power surged from the Mystic Ancient Realm was enough to shatter mountains, yet the Giant Dragon Token absorbed so much power without exploding. It was truly beyond expectations.
“How can this be?” everyone wondered, but they were equally excited. Perhaps this was truly a way to unlock the secret of the Giant Dragon Token.
The other party continuously poured power into the Giant Dragon Token, and it accepted it all. Everyone held their breath, waiting for the Giant Dragon Token to change.
But no matter how much power he drove or how much he poured in, the Giant Dragon Token did not change in the slightest, remaining completely unremarkable.
“How can this be?” The Blood Guard channeling power gritted his teeth. Because of the frantic driving of his power, he looked as if he were about to collapse, his face somewhat pale as he stared at the Giant Dragon Token.
“Attack together! I do not believe it can absorb energy like a bottomless pit!” the lead Blood Guard shouted, gritting his teeth again and persisting, pouring out all the power within his body.
Including Ye Chu, the several people nodded, each dancing their power, continuously pouring streams of power into the Giant Dragon Token.
Infinite energy was continuously poured in. The terrifying power simply vanished, all absorbed by the Giant Dragon Token, yet it did not change in the slightest.
Everyone found this result hard to believe. If they joined forces, even a mountain would be struck until it collapsed, yet the Giant Dragon Token actually withstood it. This…
“Is this method not going to work?” someone asked.
“Wait! Did you notice that its golden colour has become deeper?” a Blood Guard suddenly shouted.
Only then did everyone notice the golden dragon, indeed finding that its colour was a shade more vibrant.
“It is working. Everyone, keep at it!” The lead Blood Guard was somewhat excited. The fact that it reacted meant this might be the right method.
He gritted his teeth, ignoring his own weakness, and frantically drove his own power to surge into the Giant Dragon Token.
“Everyone, listen to my orders. Pour your strongest power into it. We must definitely break open its secret.”
“Yes!” The group, including Ye Chu, drove their power to the extreme, continuously pouring it into the Giant Dragon Token. The golden dragon became more and more vibrant, making these people drive their power even more frantically.
