The exploration of the ancient ruins was still going on, and along with the passage of time, geniuses were ceaselessly being eliminated from the ruins. There were disciples from second-rate powers amongst them, and there were naturally disciples from first-rate powers as well.
It was even to the extent that some geniuses from the five great regions were eliminated. All of them had encountered dangers that were difficult to resist or were attacked by geniuses from other powers.
So they could only give up and crush their talismans to eliminate themselves.
Only the young masters of the five great regions hadn't been eliminated. Obviously, figures of such level already stood at the peak of all the geniuses. If they were eliminated, then it would be shocking and cause a mighty uproar.
During this process, numerous names that were either slightly familiar or completely unfamiliar were ceaselessly resounding in the crowd.
Some genius disciples obtained enormous fortuitous encounters that caused their strengths to multiply, and they were actually able to surmount levels to do battle and eliminate opponents that they were originally unable to defeat.
Moreover, it wasn't just one or two pieces of news like this, and it spread out successively. It caused others to be unable to help but sigh with emotion because the fortuitous encounters within the ancient ruins were abundant.
At the same time, the uproar that Yan Chu's name had once caused had been overlooked a long time ago because it was truly not worth mentioning when compared to the shocking news that spread out later on.
But at this moment, there were still some people that firmly remembered his name, like Liu Qing that was eliminated by him.
Originally, he should have left a long time ago because every minute he stayed here would only cause him to feel a little bit more of an eyesore. But he was waiting because he urgently hoped to see the scene of Yan Chutian being defeated miserably and falling out of Mark Mountain in a sorry state.
Only in this way would he be able to ease the flames of rage in his heart!
There were also those two disciples from the first-rate powers, the Flame Valley. Based on the time, if Yan Chutian really dared to rescue those women from the Flower Palace, then he should have encountered him a long time ago. Why hasn't he been eliminated in a sorry state until now?
While he was slightly puzzled, that disciple suddenly thought of something, and a wisp of a bloodthirsty smile couldn't help but appear on the corners of his mouth.
He'd forgotten that the energy of the talismans had already been restricted within the ruins. If Yan Chu really dared to head over, then it would be impossible for him to be eliminated and would instead die miserably within the ruins!
But of course, there was an even greater possibility that he didn't head over at all, and had probably found a place that no one knew of and hid there like an ant.
After all, as far as he was concerned, Yan Chutian was a fellow that only put on an act and was actually as timid as a mouse.
…
Somewhere in the Ancient Ruins, beside a Spirit Pool, Yan Chutian sat cross-legged on a huge rock in the center of the Spirit Pool, quietly absorbing the dense Spirit Qi drifting out from the Spirit Pool.
Not long ago, he had become a protector. Thus, at this time, he had the honor of becoming a protector. Furthermore, the three of them were all living beauties. If news of this were to spread, it was likely that many people would be envious of them.
However, Yan Chutian did not have the time to be happy about this. There was still about three months before the appearance of the Mysterious Flame Sacred Palace. In the past three months, he had been studying the fourth spiritual inscription, and now was the time to completely condense it into form!
The fourth spiritual pattern that he was going to condense was the Great Thunder Rune that he had condensed in the Heaven Realm.
This Great Thunder Rune was extremely tyrannical. It required thunder to be inscribed on the dantian elixir. If it was successful, the spiritual pattern would be like the descent of thunder. That kind of terrifying destructive power was something that even the third True Dragon Rune could not compare to.
After all, no matter how profound the True Dragon Rune was, it was only the third spiritual pattern. The more spiritual patterns one condensed, the stronger the power of the spiritual patterns would be!
"Huff …"
Exhaling lightly, Yan Chutian was not in a hurry to start condensing. Instead, he constantly adjusted his state.
Only when his state was adjusted to the peak did Yan Chutian slowly open his eyes. Then, he took out a green-skinned gourd from his storage space.
This was naturally not an ordinary gourd, but one that he had spent a lot of effort to meticulously condense. And the gourd was not filled with ordinary wine, but with the Heavenly Thunder that he had carefully collected in the past three months.
Although this was a spatial world, the sun, the moon, and the stars existed, so there was also thunder and rain. Therefore, Yan Chutian would rush into the sky like a fool during those days of thunder, and use the gourd to collect the Heavenly Thunder.
Opening the gourd slightly, one could clearly hear the sound of thunder exploding continuously. The power of this rumbling was probably able to cause quite a bit of damage to many cultivators at the fifth or sixth level of the elixir. It was hard to imagine how to use it to inscribe spiritual inscriptions on the elixir.
However, Yan Chutian had the experience of his previous life, and he had succeeded in condensing it, so he had all the experience now.
Therefore, Yan Chutian was not too worried. He calmly channeled his spiritual energy into the gourd, and then guided a wisp of silver Heavenly Thunder into his mouth.
"Boom …!"
The sound of thunder became louder and louder, and at the same time, a tyrannical power continued to erupt. If he was not prepared, Yan Chutian would have been seriously injured by this wisp of Heavenly Thunder.
But how could he not be prepared? When the Heavenly Thunder entered his mouth, there was immediately a surge of spiritual energy that seemed to surge from all parts of his body, wrapping this wisp of Heavenly Thunder and isolating all the power.
Then, this ball of Heavenly Thunder that was wrapped in rich spiritual energy was sent into his dantian, to the side of the elixir.
Before this, Yan Chutian had carried out everything in an orderly manner, and he did not panic. But at this moment, he hesitated for a moment.
Because Yan Chutian knew that the previous things were not difficult, but what came next was the most difficult and dangerous time.
Using the Heavenly Thunder to condense spiritual inscriptions on the elixir!
This process was full of danger, and even failure was a small matter. The most frightening thing was that the elixir was damaged by the Heavenly Thunder, because if the elixir was damaged, the consequences would be too serious.
It was no exaggeration to say that this was related to the foundation!
But Yan Chutian deeply understood the principle of how to get the tiger cub without entering the tiger's den. If he was too afraid, then he did not need to pursue cultivation, because it was impossible for him to become strong. The path of cultivation was to face difficulties head-on.
So in the next moment, he did not hesitate to slowly separate the ball of spiritual energy, and then used his spiritual energy to guide it to the side of the elixir.
But good things did not last long. A wisp of silver Heavenly Thunder was guided by Yan Chutian for a few breaths, and suddenly exploded. Even though Yan Chutian had expected the power of the explosion and immediately used his spiritual energy to block it, he was still shaken by it, and a streak of dark red blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth.
But what made Yan Chutian feel better was that the power of the explosion had damaged his elixir and dantian. Otherwise, the result would not be as simple as bleeding from the corner of his mouth …
Yan Chutian had already expected this kind of failure, so he did not hesitate at all. After quickly adjusting his state, he guided the Heavenly Thunder from the gourd and swallowed it into his mouth.
Next, Yan Chutian kept repeating this action. If he was lucky enough to succeed, he would be able to condense a faint mark on the elixir. But if he failed, there would be another explosion, and blood would flow from the corner of his mouth.
And from the beginning to the end, Yan Chutian seemed to be shrouded in luck, and the number of times he failed was not many. Even if he failed, he would only be shaken, and the elixir would not be damaged.
So as this continued, a wisp of thunder pattern gradually appeared on the elixir, and only the last few traces were left before it would be completely formed.
Such a situation naturally made Yan Chutian's face overflow with an excited smile. Because if this continued, he would be able to condense the Great Thunder Mark in half a day.
However, at such a critical moment, the Heavenly Thunder exploded, and the overflowing roaring power directly poured into his dantian.
A tearing pain surged out from the depths of his dantian, spreading to his limbs and bones, causing Yan Chutian to feel his vision turn black.
He did not expect the situation he was most worried about to happen. In his previous life, he had a Spirit Body, so he did not have to worry about this situation with a dual dantian. But in this life, he was just an ordinary cultivator!
However, it was not that he did not expect this, so he gritted his teeth and hurriedly urged the Mysterious Yang Qi in his dantian to soothe the tearing pain.
But then, an unexpected situation appeared. The Mysterious Yang Qi indeed surged out under his control, but the result was that it did not soothe the tearing pain. Instead, it made the pain even more intense, until he could not bear it, and he cried out in pain and even fainted.
Before fainting, Yan Chutian's heart was filled with deep disbelief. How could this be? With the characteristics of the Mysterious Yang Qi, it should be able to soothe the injury to his dantian, but why was the result completely the opposite?!
