Late at night.
Baiyun Ancient City's alchemy assessment ended.
The elders of Baiyun Ancient City invited Ye Ping and Xu Luochen to stay for a meal.
However, Xu Luochen was unwilling to stay there at all, and he wanted to leave quickly.
He was fully aware that as long as he was seated, the first question would be how he managed to refine the Golden Core.
Hence, under such circumstances, Xu Luochen was naturally unwilling to stay there.
After getting the alchemist token, Xu Luochen left with Ye Ping overnight.
Night fell.
The sky was filled with stars.
Xu Luochen and Ye Ping slowly walked towards the Qingyun Dao Sect.
Along the way, Xu Luochen's expression was calm, but there was an unconcealable smile in his eyes.
The Alchemy Token was finally in his hands.
He could finally be considered a qualified alchemist.
There were countless benefits to becoming a qualified Alchemist. Wherever one went, one would be respected.
Most importantly, he could finally go out and earn money.
At least he wouldn't have to take the sect's salary every day and live a bitter life every day.
Although the treatment of the sect had improved a lot since Ye Ping came, it was still more comfortable for him to spend his own money.
Xu Luochen remained silent throughout the journey.
Ye Ping, who was following behind, was also thinking about other things.
Perhaps he felt that it was too boring.
Xu Luochen took the initiative to break the silence.
"Little junior brother."
As Xu Luochen spoke, Ye Ping couldn't help but respond.
"What's wrong, Second Senior Brother?"
Ye Ping seemed a little curious.
"How long have you been in the sect?"
Xu Luochen said casually.
"No more, no less. It's been half a year."
Ye Ping calculated carefully and realized that it had been almost half a year since he joined the sect.
"Half a year?"
After hearing that, Xu Luochen was somehow surprised. To be honest, he felt that Ye Ping had been in the sect for several years.
However, he didn't expect that Ye Ping had only been there for half a year.
She looked at Ye Ping and then at herself.
Xu Luochen couldn't help but sigh.
In the past six months, Ye Ping had outstanding sword techniques, unparalleled alchemy, and top-notch array formations. He was basically an all-rounded cultivator.
The more terrifying thing was that it had only been half a year. God knew how much Ye Ping would grow in another three to five years.
He had been in the Qingyun Dao Sect for more than twenty years, but he had only just passed the alchemy assessment.
Comparing oneself to others was really infuriating.
Soon, Xu Luochen's voice sounded again.
"Little Junior Brother, there's something I forgot to ask you. Where are your parents?"
Xu Luochen asked Ye Ping's parents.
Ye Ping asked.
At the mention of this, Ye Ping couldn't help but shake his head. He didn't know where his parents were either.
Ever since he transmigrated three years ago, Ye Ping had no idea who his parents were. He had been an orphan since he was young and only knew that he was from Jin Nation.
"Senior Brother, I have been an orphan since I was young, so I don't know where my parents are."
After all, he Ye, Ye, Ye, Ping Luochen, Ye, and Chen, Ye Ye Ye Ye Dao Dao.
"Sigh, they are all pitiful people."
"Ping" Ye, Dao.
"Ye Luo Luochen sigh.
"Ye Ping," Ye Luochen Ye Luo Luochen.
Yang Ye Long Ye, Luo, Ye Ye Dynasty Dynasty. Xi.
"Just like you. A few decades ago, the entire Qing Province was struck by a great calamity. It was said that some kind of treasure appeared, causing two great experts to fight to the death. The Qing Province's mountain range was destroyed into a complete mess. Floods flooded the area, and it's unknown how many people's homes were destroyed because of this."
"It was during that disaster that I became an orphan and was adopted by Master."
Xu Luochen seemed to be in a good mood as he was never willing to mention this matter to others.
However, he had now taken the initiative to tell Ye Ping about his background.
"Senior Brother, your parents must still be alive, but they haven't found you yet. However, I believe that one day, your father will definitely find you."
Ye Ping comforted him.
After he said that, Xu Luochen chuckled. He no longer cared about those feelings. Anyway, he had never seen them since he was young, and it would be fake to say that he had feelings for them.
Just like that, the two of them continued to stay silent and returned to the Qingyun Dao Sect.
At the same time …
In the extreme north of Qingzhou.
Under an abyss.
A group of people appeared there.
It was the Qingzhou Demon Abyss that spanned Qingzhou and Lizhou. Rumor had it that it was the place where countless resentful spirits of the people of Qingzhou gathered during the disaster.
The Demon Abyss was filled with terrifying resentment, and even Golden Core realm cultivators could not casually step into it.
At this moment, the group of people was holding an ancient lamp and walking in the Demon Abyss.
There were seven of them, four men and three women, and each of them was handsome and had an extraordinary aura. In particular, the man in the lead was dressed in a starry robe and surrounded by starlight. Just by standing there, he gave off an extremely powerful vibe.
"Senior Brother Xinghe, isn't the demonic aura here too thick? What the hell is this place? "
Someone said in a low voice while sizing up the surroundings with a wary gaze.
"Don't talk nonsense, be quiet."
The man who was called Xinghe said indifferently. The ancient lamp in his hand seemed to have divine power that blocked the demonic aura.
Just like that, the group of people walked forward and finally saw a door.
However, before they stepped through the door, the terrifying demonic aura turned into a gust of wind that swept towards them.
In an instant, the ancient lamp was extinguished, and everything seemed extremely dark.
Sizzle!
However, in the next moment, the man in the lead raised his hand, and in an instant, another ancient lamp lit up. However, this ancient lamp was different. There was a golden Buddha in the light that suppressed all the evil demons.
"Buddha Fat Lamp!"
"Senior Brother Xinghe, you even have this thing?"
"Senior Brother Xinghe, you're indeed the top rookie of the Heavenly Supervisory. You even have such a magical item like the Buddha Fat Lamp."
Everyone said excitedly.
Legend had it that the Buddha Fat Lamp was the fat of the Buddha when he passed away. It contained infinite Buddhist power and could suppress all evil demons if it was lit.
"Don't talk for now."
"This time, the higher-ups asked us to investigate the matter of the Qingzhou Demon Abyss. I don't think it's that simple."
"Be careful, if you go in later, there will be danger, do you understand?"
Ye Xinghe told everyone to be careful lest they got into trouble.
"Yes, Senior Brother Xinghe."
"Okay, Senior Brother Ye."
Everyone nodded in response.
He then took the lead and walked straight in.
It was a large hall.
It looked very dilapidated and all the buildings had been damaged.
The Buddha Fat Lamp was very bright and illuminated the surroundings. Everyone walked carefully in the hall.
Soon, they arrived at the central area.
"It's an altar."
Someone pointed to the central area and said.
"There's blood."
"This bloodstain seems very different."
"Don't go over, be careful."
When everyone arrived at the center, they quickly discovered an altar. The altar was stained with bloodstains, but the bloodstains were a little strange.
Someone walked forward and wanted to take a closer look.
However, in the next moment …
A few angry roars sounded.
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
In the quiet hall, roars could be heard. On the strange altar, five different figures suddenly appeared.
Azure Dragon.
White Tiger.
Vermilion Bird.
Black Tortoise.
Qilin.
Those were the five sacred beasts.
The roars were extremely terrifying and everyone retreated. Apart from Ye Xinghe, the other six were injured but not very seriously.
Their faces were filled with astonishment.
"Those are the five sacred beasts."
"Why are the True Spirits of the five sacred beasts here?"
"What the hell is this place? Why are the True Spirits of the five sacred beasts here? "
"This place can't be underestimated."
They discussed with shock on their faces, unable to believe what they saw.
The five sacred beasts were the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise, and Qilin. They were sacred beasts of the human race and could also be called immortal beasts.
Such things were hard to come by in ten thousand years.
They were truly supreme existences. Since ancient times, countless experts had dreamed of obtaining the recognition of the sacred beasts, but almost none had been able to do so.
"These bloodstains are the blood of the sacred beasts."
Ye Xinghe's voice sounded. He frowned and looked at the altar carefully, then slowly told everyone that the blood on the altar was the blood of the sacred beasts.
"The blood of the sacred beasts? Why would there be the blood of the sacred beasts in such a godforsaken place? "
"Could it be that the calamity of Qingzhou was because someone found the blood of the sacred beasts hidden here?"
"Good lord, is this blood still useful?"
Everyone spoke. They were still shocked because they knew what the blood of the sacred beasts represented.
A drop of the blood of a sacred beast could allow one to be reborn and even increase one's luck. Hence, they were naturally excited.
"The True Spirits of this blood have all been lost and it's not very useful. However, it can still be used for alchemy. You can collect it, but be careful."
Ye Xinghe said as he walked towards the altar.
He carefully observed the altar.
As for the others, they quickly collected the blood of the sacred beasts. However, the blood river had already dried up and turned into blood powder, so they had to collect it bit by bit.
Even so, everyone was overjoyed. After all, the blood of the sacred beasts was hard to come by.
Ye Xinghe did not collect the blood. He could tell at a glance that the blood of the sacred beasts had already dried up and lost its true spirituality. It was not very useful.
It was almost useless to him.
He carefully observed the altar.
The altar was very strange. Most importantly, he found that there was a stone egg in the center of the altar. The stone egg had already broken. Ye Xinghe picked up a fragment of the stone egg and carefully observed it.
After the time it took for an incense stick to burn …
Finally, Ye Xinghe guessed something.
"Everyone, we might have encountered a huge problem."
Ye Xinghe said. As his voice sounded, everyone couldn't help but be curious.
They had collected all the blood powder around the altar and couldn't help but be curious after hearing what Ye Xinghe said.
"Senior Brother Xinghe, what trouble have we encountered?"
"Huge trouble? What secret does a mere Qingzhou relic have? "
"That's right, Senior Brother Ye. It's just a Qingzhou relic and the difficulty of the mission given by the academy is only A-class. What trouble is there?"
They opened their mouths and asked curiously.
After all, the Qingzhou relic had no background at all.
It was said that 20 years ago, a treasure appeared in Qingzhou and attracted two Essence Soul realm powerhouses to fight for it, causing the spirit meridians of Qingzhou to be destroyed and even causing a flood, causing lives to be plunged into misery and suffering.
Such things had happened many times, so it was not considered a big deal.
However, Ye Xinghe said that they had gotten into huge trouble, so they were naturally curious.
"Everyone, the calamity of Qingzhou more than 20 years ago was because of the birth of a treasure. I think I already know what treasure it is."
Ye Xinghe spoke with an extremely serious expression.
"Senior Brother Ye, what treasure is it?"
"Senior Brother Xinghe, the treasure of Qingzhou has always been a mystery. Until now, no one knows what treasure they are fighting for. How do you know?"
"There are records in the history books of Jin Nation that 25 years ago, there was a treasure in Qingzhou. The two Essence Soul realm cultivators fought to death and the treasure was lost. No one knows what treasure it is. Senior Brother Xinghe, how do you know?"
Everyone asked Ye Xinghe curiously.
"It's not a treasure, it's a god of heaven and earth."
Ye Xinghe shook his head and told everyone that the so-called treasure was a god of heaven and earth.
"God of heaven and earth?"
"What does that mean?"
"A god nurtured by heaven and earth?"
"Is there really such a thing?"
"Senior Brother Ye, what evidence do you have?"
Everyone looked at Ye Xinghe and couldn't help but ask.
"Come over and take a look."
"This stone egg is extremely ancient and has a history of at least hundreds of thousands of years."
"If I'm not wrong, this stone egg should have nurtured a god of heaven and earth."
"However, for some reason, this egg was destroyed and its vitality was extinguished."
"This altar should be the Sacred Blood Spirit Summoning Array. Someone obtained this stone egg and wanted to awaken the god in it."
"They used the blood of the five sacred beasts to awaken the god."
"So, we're in big trouble."
Ye Xinghe couldn't help but take a deep breath.
"Egg of a god?"
"Sacred Blood of the Five Directions?"
"Who would have thought that the treasure of the Qingzhou is actually a god that was born from it?"
"How exaggerated would it be for a god to be nurtured by heaven and earth?"
They were astonished.
The so-called gods of heaven and earth were existences nurtured by the mountains of heaven and earth.
He was not a human, not a ghost, not a demon, but a god. He was born outside of the five elements.
They had extremely terrifying growth aptitude.
It could be said that the gods of heaven and earth were like the sons of heaven who would be helped by heaven in everything they did.
However, such things only existed in legends and almost no one had seen them before.
Besides, because the gods of heaven and earth were too heaven-defying, they could only be nurtured by the combination of the right time, the right place, and the right people.
They could not be nurtured without any of them.
That was also the reason why everyone was shocked.
"Senior Brother Ye, even if it's really as you said, what does it have to do with us? After all, it's been so many years. "
Someone spoke up, thinking that even if it was as Ye Xinghe said, it had nothing to do with them.
However, Ye Xinghe shook his head.
He took a deep breath and said.
"If it's just to awaken a god's egg, it indeed has nothing to do with us."
"Do you know what I'm worried about?"
"This array formation has disappeared for many years. It's a peerless array formation of the Supreme Demon Hall from tens of thousands of years ago."
"Besides, this array formation can not only be used to summon spirits, but it can also be used for reincarnation."
"It's almost impossible for a god's egg that has already lost its vitality to give birth to a god."
"Therefore, I'm guessing that someone wants to inject a True Spirit into this stone egg so that a demigod can be nurtured."
"If that's the case, that Fiend Dao powerhouse will definitely discover traces of us being here."
"At that time, we might not even know how we died in order to silence him."
Ye Xinghe voiced his suspicions.
As soon as he said that, everyone couldn't help but take a deep breath in fear.
It was because they had unintentionally offended a peerless powerhouse after discovering the other party's secret.
"Senior Brother Ye, I don't think it's that bad, right?"
"Yeah, this matter has already been going on for more than 20 years. It's only a matter of time before someone finds out. Senior Brother, look, no one has been here for decades. I think you might be thinking too much."
Everyone spoke up one after another, trying their best to comfort themselves. After all, according to what Ye Xinghe said …
If that happened, everyone present would not be able to live.
"Yes, maybe I'm really thinking too much, but we still have to be more cautious. Changming, Bai Lian, the two of you leave quickly and return to the Heavenly Supervisory to inform the higher-ups of what happened here."
"The rest of you, follow me and continue the investigation."
Ye Xinghe told the two of them to leave first and head to the Heavenly Supervisory quickly.
"Yes, Senior Brother."
"Senior Brother, take care, we'll take our leave first."
The two of them said and immediately left the place.
After the two of them left, someone couldn't help but continue to ask.
"Senior Brother Xinghe, I know about the gods of heaven and earth, but there doesn't seem to be such a thing as a demigod, right?"
He asked Ye Xinghe with his eyes full of curiosity.
"Yes, there is indeed no such thing as a demigod in this world."
"However, I've read an ancient book that recorded the concept of demigods. It's said that the soul of a dying person can be injected into a deity egg that has already lost its vitality, and then the blood of the five sacred beasts will be used to irrigate the egg."
"If it's buried in a spirit meridian, it might give birth to a demigod after a long time."
Ye Xinghe said. The reason why he knew so much was because he had read an ancient book.
"In that case, Senior Brother Ye, is this demigod strong?"
Someone asked out of curiosity.
"Do you still have to ask? The gods are invincible and demigods are definitely strong. They're at least half as strong as the gods. "
Someone answered straightforwardly.
However, Ye Xinghe shook his head.
"No."
"According to the ancient books, if a demigod is really born, it might not necessarily be very strong."
"There are two possibilities. One is that it will be like a normal deity, as if it has the help of Heaven. It will receive help from Heaven for everything it does, and it might even be able to do whatever it wants."
"However, there's another possibility, which is the suppression of luck. Before the age of 30, it will be like an ordinary cultivator, or even worse than ordinary cultivators."
"No matter what it does, it will be very ordinary, but once it passes the age of 30, it will erupt with unparalleled talent."
"If it's the first possibility, it'll be fine. At least there's still a chance to catch up."
"If it's the second possibility, it'll be very terrifying."
"Once it passes the age of 30, it will lead to a real eruption. Besides, 30 years of tempering will make the Dao heart extremely stable."
"However, no matter which one it is, it might be stronger than us."
Ye Xinghe said.
However, at this moment …
All of a sudden, two figures appeared outside the hall.
It was Bai Lian and Chang Ming.
No, there were three of them.
