Some things are fine once you have used them, there is no need to possess too much. The allure of the holy liquid is too great, and many people will set their sights on it.
Ye Chu smiled and said, “I already took out quite a bit of holy liquid earlier. Even if I say now that I do not have much left, they will not believe me. Since the outcome will be the same anyway, I might as well take a little more.”
Lin Shixin was stunned for a moment. Thinking about how Ye Chu had just taken out quite a bit of another kind of holy liquid to feed her, she realised he was already being targeted by others. Whether he took out the other kind or not no longer mattered, as the consequences would be exactly the same.
“Ye Chu, wait!” Bai Qingqing suddenly shouted. This greatly surprised Ye Chu, making him wonder if this woman was actually considering his wellbeing.
However, Ye Chu quickly realised his thought was merely a vain hope, as he was overthinking it. This woman would not worry about such things at all. Instead, she stared at Ye Chu with alluring eyes and tender affection, saying, “Deep within the dark pool, an object is being nurtured. Since you are unafraid of the laws, go and retrieve it.”
“What?” Ye Chu asked curiously, wondering what kind of thing could make Bai Qingqing act this way, given that her status and position meant there were very few things she would even look at.
“Lin Shixin and I came here not for the holy liquid, but for that specific thing.” Bai Qingqing used her hand to brush aside her messy hair, her fingers brushing past her temples, exuding an unparalleled feminine charm.
This sparked a bit of interest in Ye Chu, wondering what could possibly surpass the value of the holy liquid.
“It is a type of immortal material, the essence of a star, nurtured by the holy liquid to give birth to an immortal embryo!” Bai Qingqing tempted Ye Chu. “Perhaps you do not know what an immortal embryo is. It means that from the moment it is born, it can represent a law of the world. A terrifying immortal embryo could even contend with the Supremes!”
Ye Chu did not understand the first part, but the phrase about contending with the Supremes shocked him, and he suddenly turned his gaze to Lin Shixin.
Seeing the inquiring gaze of Ye Chu, she nodded. They had come here specifically for that thing. They originally thought they could go in and seize it, but they had overestimated themselves. Only now did the two women realise that the item was not unknown, but rather that no one dared to set their sights on it. Simply put, no one could get close to the dark pool, making Ye Chu a rare exception.
“Can I go and retrieve it?” Ye Chu still harboured some wariness towards Bai Qingqing, and he naturally could not trust this woman completely.
“You can try, but do not force it. That kind of thing has its own spirit. If it willingly follows you, that is fine, but otherwise, you will not be able to do anything with it at all,” Lin Shixin answered Ye Chu.
“Then I will go and try!” Ye Chu said with a smile. This made Bai Qingqing grind her teeth in hatred. She had said so much to no avail, yet with just one sentence from Lin Shixin, Ye Chu treated it as a holy decree.
All along, Bai Qingqing and Lin Shixin had been evenly matched, in every possible aspect. But ever since they were in front of Ye Chu, she had been utterly defeated, which was an extremely frustrating sense of defeat.
Bai Qingqing, who had never lost before, felt unwilling to accept this, yet as she looked at Ye Chu, her eyes were once again as alluring as silk. If she could get Ye Chu to stand by her side in the future and obey her every command, would that not mean she had defeated Lin Shixin?
Thinking of this, Bai Qingqing smiled even more happily.
“Then, let Ye Chu become our battlefield from now on?” Bai Qingqing cast a provocative glance at Lin Shixin. Since the two of them could not be distinguished in terms of strength or charm, they would settle it through Ye Chu.
Seeing the look of Bai Qingqing, Lin Shixin ignored her provocation and let her gaze fall on Ye Chu, who was walking towards the dark pool once again. Although she had witnessed the moment of aging of Ye Chu, watching his hair turn white again and his skin become withered still made her worry involuntarily.
…
The crowd watched Ye Chu walk towards the dark pool again, their eyes growing fervent. They knew this man was definitely going to hoard the holy liquid on a massive scale. Thinking about the other kind of holy liquid on his person, many people began to harbour various schemes.
The eyes of Luo Chizi and Wang Shanzhi flickered even more. Seeing this, Ye Jingyun could not help but frown, and she involuntarily pulled Tan Miaotong a little further away from them.
“As soon as Ye Chu comes out, I must take him and leave immediately!” Ye Jingyun muttered, making up her mind.
Ye Chu filled bottle after bottle with the holy liquid. After filling an unknown number of them, he finally stopped and began to dive down into the dark pool.
Diving into the dark pool, he found it pitch black below, unable to see anything. Ye Chu drove his power to emit a light, but the light was quickly swallowed up, disappearing completely.
With no other choice, Ye Chu could only search blindly in the dark pool. Although the pool was not very large, it was extremely deep. As Ye Chu kept diving deeper, he felt the water pressure growing stronger and stronger.
Ye Chu felt somewhat fortunate that he had reached the Emperor realm, his strength having transformed to an astonishing degree. Otherwise, it would have been impossible to withstand such water pressure.
Diving down blindly all the way, going deeper and deeper, Ye Chu gradually discovered specks of starlight as he went further in. Seeing these specks of starlight, Ye Chu felt a sudden surge of excitement, and dove frantically towards the bottom.
…
Outside, the crowd saw Ye Chu suddenly disappear into the dark pool, and they all looked at each other in surprise. They wondered what Ye Chu was doing diving into the dark pool.
While feeling puzzled, Luo Chizi, Wang Shanzhi, and the others also surrounded Tan Chen. They had just witnessed the excellence of Tan Chen. He was an outstanding talent with strong strength, absolutely a top figure among the geniuses present.
“Brother Tan seems to be very familiar with Brother Ye!” After exchanging some pleasantries with Tan Chen, Luo Chizi asked, “I wonder if Brother Tan could tell us, what exactly is the background of Brother Ye? He even possesses the chaotic green qi, and furthermore possesses the Supreme technique, allowing him to seize the holy liquid!”
Tan Chen also wanted to curse. How the hell would he know the background of Ye Chu? It was true that Ye Chu came from Wuxin Peak, but Wuxin Peak could not possibly defy the heavens by casually throwing the Supreme technique and chaotic green qi to Ye Chu, let alone help him obtain the holy liquid!
“I do not know either!” Tan Chen could only reply.
This sentence immediately dissatisfied many people, and their expressions towards Tan Chen turned unfavourable. They had clearly just seen that Ye Chu was very familiar with him. As fellow outstanding talents, how could they not be familiar with each other?
“Brother Tan should not be from the Red Dust Domain, should he?” After his pupils contracted sharply, Luo Chizi looked at Tan Chen and smiled again.
“The Love Domain!” Tan Chen replied. “Brother Ye and I both come from the Love Domain!”
This sentence immediately drew a chorus of boos from many people. “So it is the Love Domain!”
“It is truly damn weird. Can a poor and barren domain like the Love Domain actually produce such a figure?”
“I have heard that the outstanding talents of the Love Domain are not even as good as ordinary cultivators in the Red Dust Domain. Is there really such a situation?”
“…”
Various sounds of disdain rang out, and many people looked at Tan Chen with a strong sense of superiority.
A hint of contempt also flashed in the eyes of Luo Chizi, but he concealed it very well. He chuckled and said, “So it is the Love Domain. That is actually a good place, having given birth to an absolute figure like the Love Saint.”
