Qin Wentian and Mo Qingcheng walked on the ancient path, only to discover that this path was extremely smooth, and they didn't meet with any danger.
After walking for a long time, they discovered that the ancient paths gradually converged into a single path. As they continued forward, there were several people standing there, staring ahead.
"Ouyang Kuangsheng, no wonder this path is so smooth." Qin Wentian and Mo Qingcheng stopped at the point where the ancient paths converged. If they continued forward, they would see another ancient path. However, at the bottom of the ancient path, there were several corpses that had died miserably. Their bodies were covered in blood, dying the ancient path red.
"Boom." Qin Wentian felt the blood in his body throbbing as his heart pounded. Lifting his head, he saw a stone tablet ten meters above the ancient path, with the words' Yellow Springs' engraved on it.
"How marvelous." Mo Qingcheng similarly felt her blood pounding, causing her heart to tremble.
"The Yellow Springs Ancient Path actually appeared in this trial. It's rumored that as long as one encountered the Yellow Springs Ancient Path during the Refinement Grounds, they would have to turn back and find another path." The countenances of those present were extremely unsightly to behold. The ancient paths finally converged here, which meant that all the participants of the Refinement Grounds would arrive at this place.
If one didn't dare to pass, they would have to turn back and turn back. But if one chose to pass the Yellow Springs Ancient Path, it would be a shortcut.
"I don't believe that the Yellow Springs Ancient Path is so evil." One of the participants spoke in an unconvinced tone. After which, he took a step forward, albeit cautiously.
"Boom." The blood in his body throbbed as he felt his blood boiling.
Taking another step forward, the blood vessels in that person's body became visible, as his countenance turned ashen.
Releasing his Astral Souls, his body was enveloped by astral light as he continued forward.
"Boom." The blood in his body throbbed unceasingly, as his heart pounded madly. His face turned blood-red, as terror could be seen on his countenance. The thumping sounds continued unceasingly, as his heartbeat grew faster and faster.
"Retreat." A thought appeared in his mind, as he retreated. However, the blood in his body throbbed more and more violently, and finally, a scream of agony rang out. Those behind only saw his blood vessels rupturing, as fresh blood splattered onto the ground. His entire body was a mangled mess.
"Let's turn back," Jiang Ting, who was standing beside Ouyang Kuangsheng, spoke.
"I pass by the Yellow Springs. If I can cross it, I will definitely enter the Celestial Pond. I want to give it a try." Only to see Ouyang Kuangsheng exuding a heroic aura as he stepped forward. Jiang Ting's countenance changed, "Kuangsheng, don't be impulsive."
"Jiang Ting, you guys change paths. Don't worry about me." Ouyang Kuangsheng laughed uproariously as he advanced forwards. The blood in his body was similarly boiling as his heart pounded.
Ouyang Kuangsheng's Bloodline Limit surged as he advanced. His footsteps were incomparably resolute, and his entire person exuded an aura of indomitable will.
What was the difference between the road and the Yellow Springs? Once they stepped on it, they would never return. Either they stepped on it, or they died on the road to the Yellow Springs.
Those from the Ouyang Aristocrat Clan and Jiang Clan were all extremely nervous as they stared at their young master. Ouyang Kuangsheng's weakness was that he was too arrogant and had no scruples. As long as he set his mind on something, nobody would be able to stop him. Even if it was the Yellow Springs Path, he would still walk it.
Between the road and the Yellow Springs, turning back to see the shore is still there, but he refused to turn back.
"If I die, you better find a good family." Ouyang Kuangsheng had already arrived at the foot of the Yellow Springs Monument. His countenance didn't change, and his long hair fluttered in the wind.
Jiang Ting's heart pounded in tandem with Ouyang Kuangsheng's actions. Ouyang Kuangsheng released his Astral Souls as he halted his steps. Jiang Ting's heart leapt up to her throat, yet Ouyang Kuangsheng continued advancing, as though it was extremely difficult for him to do so.
Gradually, Ouyang Kuangsheng moved further and further away from the Yellow Springs Monument. Finally, he turned and smiled at Jiang Ting and the rest, "Go on."
"Mhm." Jiang Ting and the rest nodded their heads heavily as they turned and returned to the ancient pathway.
"What should we do?" Mo Qingcheng inclined her head and stared at Qin Wentian.
"I want to give it a try." Qin Wentian stared at Mo Qingcheng, causing her to freeze for a moment. However, a smile soon appeared on her face as she replied, "I'll accompany you then."
"No, wait for me here. If I can't make it, I'll come back." Qin Wentian pinched Mo Qingcheng's nose as he smiled, not wanting her to worry too much.
"Okay." Mo Qingcheng nodded her head. After which, she saw Qin Wentian turning and walking towards the Yellow Springs Monument. His heartbeat quickened as the power of his bloodline began to surge. The reason why Qin Wentian wanted to give it a try was because he could feel his bloodline throbbing under the Yellow Springs Monument. Such a feeling made him yearn for it.
Qin Wentian's heart pounded madly, but he didn't notice that behind him, Mo Qingcheng had already taken a few steps forward.
Qin Wentian faintly felt that he was about to lose control of the power of his bloodline. His long hair turned black as it fluttered in the wind. The blood in his veins seemed to be seething with power, seething with rage and rage.
Finally, he arrived at the foot of the Yellow Springs Monument. Stopping, he closed his eyes as he sensed the power of his bloodline. It was as though there were blood-colored runes dancing about within his body. These blood-colored runes contained a terrifying amount of energy, and exuded an aura of a king.
"Is this the materialization of the power of my bloodline?" Qin Wentian's heart trembled. He could actually sense the power of his bloodline. He had a feeling that in the future, he would be able to control this power to his heart's desire, and infuse it into his attacks.
This was like an advancement, an advancement of his bloodline.
Inclining his head, Qin Wentian's eyes were as red as blood, filled with a tyrannical aura. His bloodline was the true bloodline of a king, how could it be affected by the Yellow Springs Monument?
The blood-colored runes shot up into the air, shooting towards the Yellow Springs Monument. In that instant, boundless blood-colored light radiated from the monument, gushing towards Qin Wentian, as though they were clashing against each other.
This scene caused Mo Qingcheng's countenance to turn as pale as paper. Her heart was burning with anxiety. She bit her lips, causing fresh blood to seep out. She took a step forward, her heart pounding as her blood surged.
At this moment, Qin Wentian had no idea what Mo Qingcheng was doing. He could only see the blood-colored runes in his body rushing towards the monument. Gradually, the monument quieted down.
Mo Qingcheng could feel that the power of the monument was getting weaker and weaker. She inclined her head and glanced at the monument, only to see it descending downwards, landing in front of Qin Wentian. There was no longer any tyrannical power within it.
"He's actually able to control the monument." An expression of astonishment appeared on Qin Wentian's face. He could feel a mysterious connection being established between him and the monument. After which, with an intention of his will, he stored the monument into his interspatial ring.
Mo Qingcheng's beautiful eyes flickered. This …
Ouyang Kuangsheng turned his head and stared at this scene. He was also dumbfounded. Qin Wentian had actually subdued the Yellow Springs Monument?
Qin Wentian calmed the power of his bloodline as he turned and walked towards Mo Qingcheng's side. Upon seeing the traces of blood on her lips, he couldn't help but feel moved in his heart.
"Silly lass." Qin Wentian cupped Mo Qingcheng's cheeks in his hands. However, Mo Qingcheng merely smiled and said, "Let's go."
"Mhm." Qin Wentian nodded his head. The sound of footsteps drifted over as a group of people walked out from a nearby pathway. Upon seeing Qin Wentian and Qian Mengyu, they were both stunned.
"Are you alright?" Qian Mengyu stared at Qin Wentian in bewilderment. She had initially thought that Qin Wentian would be the one to suffer from the ambush.
"My luck isn't bad." Qin Wentian laughed. "Let's go together."
Staring at the three people behind Qian Mengyu, Qin Wentian sighed in his heart. It seemed like their group had suffered heavy casualties, only four people remained.
"Okay." Qian Mengyu nodded her head, as the group continued on their way. Glancing at the corpses on the ground, as well as Ouyang Kuangsheng standing in front of them, they assumed that this was the work of Ouyang Kuangsheng.
Ouyang Kuangsheng bitterly smiled. When encountering the Yellow Springs, one could always turn back to the shore. For those who passed the Yellow Springs Pathway, they would definitely be able to enter the celestial lake. But this time around, the barrier was broken. That freak had directly cleared the pathway, and this barrier wouldn't affect the rest of the people behind. In this case, the Yellow Springs Pathway, which should have been able to obstruct many people, was now completely unknown.
Turning, Ouyang Kuangsheng continued on his way, hoping that he would be the first to reach the celestial lake.
Qin Wentian and the rest also quickened their pace, following behind Ouyang Kuangsheng. A few moments later, they had already exited the pathway.
Those from the Greencloud Pavilion pulled Qian Mengyu along, lagging behind Ouyang Kuangsheng and Qin Wentian. This caused Qian Mengyu's countenance to stiffen, as she understood their intentions. Most probably, they were worried that Ouyang Kuangsheng would kill them.
After Ouyang Kuangsheng and Qin Wentian exited the pathway, they saw that there were two ancient trees on both sides of the pathway. Astral light could be seen circulating on the branches of the ancient trees, and there were actually fruits on the branches.
"Haha, as expected of a glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel." Ouyang Kuangsheng instantly dashed towards one of the ancient trees, leaping onto it as he rapidly plucked the fruits.
Qin Wentian and Mo Qingcheng exchanged glances, before sprinting towards the other ancient tree and started plucking the fruits. Their speed was extremely fast, and by the time Qian Mengyu and the rest arrived, they had already harvested half of the fruits.
"Stellar Fruits." Those from the Nebula Pavilion were startled, as they instantly rushed towards the ancient tree.
"What's the use of this Stellar Fruit?" Qin Wentian asked Qian Mengyu.
"The Stellar Fruit is a fruit that can only be found in a specific space. It can rapidly replenish one's Astral Energy, and is considered a treasure in this Refinement Grounds." Ouyang Kuangsheng had already finished plucking the fruits from the ancient tree, as he involuntarily explained to Qin Wentian.
Qin Wentian's eyes brightened, as he stared at those from the Nebula Pavilion, "There are quite a few fruits on this ancient tree, let's split them evenly according to the number of people."
"Why should we split them evenly?" The female cultivator beside Qian Mengyu stared at Qin Wentian, as a sharp glint of light flickered in her eyes.
Qin Wentian's eyes froze, as he stared at the other party, "What do you mean?"
"By allowing you to follow us, we are already taking care of you. Naturally, we will be the ones to decide how to split the fruits." That female cultivator coldly replied, as she stared at Qin Wentian with disdain. This fellow was truly indulging in the wildest fantasies, actually wanting to split the fruits equally.
In her heart, Qin Wentian following them was already a form of grace from the Greencloud Pavilion towards Qin Wentian. Back then, if it wasn't for them blocking the alliance of the Beast King Hall and Celestial Palace, how could Qin Wentian still be alive?
"You mean to say that you don't intend to split the fruits equally?" Qin Wentian's voice grew colder. He was the first to obtain the Stellar Fruits, and he had suggested to split them equally. Yet not only did the other party not appreciate his kindness, they even felt that he was being greedy.
Ouyang Kuangsheng was also stunned, as an expression of interest appeared on his face. They wanted to take care of Qin Wentian? Forming an alliance was originally beneficial to both parties, and if they were to encounter danger, they would share the burden together. But from the other party's words, it seemed like they were taking care of Qin Wentian and the rest out of charity.
"Brother Qin, if you want to split the fruits, you should split them equally with us." At this moment, another group of silhouettes appeared on the ancient pathway. They were none other than Mu Baifei and the rest, and the one who spoke was none other than Yi Xiang. His eyes narrowed, the importance of the Stellar Fruits in the Refinement Grounds was self-evident.
Qin Wentian cast a glance at Yi Xiang and the rest. Indeed, these people weren't the kindest of people.
