The vibrations grew clearer and clearer, and soon, Ye Chen arrived at a large room.
The room looked like it was pieced together by dozens of ordinary rooms. It was a hundred square meters and a hundred and thirty meters tall. A thick pillar stood in the middle of the room. At the top of the pillar was a pure white ball of light. Inside the ball of light, a dark red secret manual floated quietly.
"A manual?"
Ye Chen's mind flickered. He just needed an Earth Realm martial art, he wondered what kind of manual this was.
Taking a few steps forward, Ye Chen sensed something and hurriedly dodged to the right.
Puff!
A two-meter long white light beam silently rose from under the floor, it moved at an incredible speed and let out a sharp swishing sound. If Ye Chen didn't have such a sharp sense of perception, he might have been penetrated by the light beam and teleported out of the palace.
Standing still, Ye Chen raised his head and looked at the sky, he murmured to himself, 'There's a trap on the floor, I better not fly over from the air. The Heavenly Dream Battle Palace is a mysterious place, how could it have such a big flaw? There must be a more dangerous trap in the air.'
Thinking of this, Ye Chen took out a low-rank soul stone from his pocket and threw it into the air.
Puff!
A small hole appeared on the left side of the wall, from which, a beam of light shot out and shattered the low-rank soul stone into pieces, leaving not even a trace of ash behind.
"With my protective Zhen Qi, I won't be able to defend myself."
Ye Chen estimated the power of that beam of light, then shook his head. Flying over from the air was not an option, it would only lead to death. Therefore, he could only walk over from the ground.
Raising his foot, Ye Chen put it down again. A silhouette appeared on the other side of the door.
It was the Young Master Devil, Leng Wuqing.
Leng Wuqing was slightly surprised to see Ye Chen, he didn't think that Ye Chen would be able to survive until now, which meant that Ye Chen had also stepped into the Clasping Yuan Realm.
"What I need is a martial art manual, what kind do you need?"
Leng Wuqing didn't move and asked.
Ye Chen said, "Cultivation technique."
Nodding his head, Leng Wuqing said, "That's easy. If it's a Martial Technique manual, it'll belong to me. If it's a Cultivation Technique manual, it'll belong to you. If it's neither, we'll have to rely on our own abilities. I'm sure you don't want to get into a meaningless fight!"
Leng Wuqing was still quite afraid of Ye Chen. An Early Clasping Yuan Realm martial artist who had mastered the sword intent was definitely a tough nut to crack. He would rather face the other Hidden Dragon Ranked martial artists than face Ye Chen directly. Of course, it was not that he was afraid of Ye Chen, he just did not want to fight a tough and fruitless battle.
"Sure, but I have to add one more condition. Now that the Martial Technique manual is in my hands, you cannot take it away for free. You have to exchange it for something of equal value, and vice versa."
Ye Chen agreed. He was not a battle maniac, and it was best to avoid unnecessary battles. Not to mention that he had lost the Hidden Cloud Sword, so he could not use his full strength.
"Alright."
Leng Wuqing did not believe that he would not be able to get the manual. What Ye Chen said actually stimulated his competitive spirit.
Pausing for a second, Ye Chen glanced around and said, "Let's get closer to the stone pillar first, this place is not easy to deal with."
Hearing this, Leng Wuqing stamped his foot heavily, and his Qi spread out along the ground.
Whoosh … Whoosh … Whoosh …
White light thorns emerged from the ground one after another, piercing through the air.
After two blinks of an eye, the white light thorns disappeared.
Although Leng Wuqing had memorized the location of the white light thorns, he was a prudent person, so he stamped his foot again and spread out even more Qi.
The next moment!
Half of the room was filled with white light thorns. The tips of the light thorns were as cold as the stars in the sky, making one's scalp numb.
Leng Wuqing slightly frowned and said, "The light thorns appear in different places every time, and it is disadvantageous to both sides in a fight."
"Then I hope the manual is either a Martial Technique or a Martial Technique." Ye Chen smiled faintly. He did not agree with Leng Wuqing's words. In a fight, as long as he used his Qi to lock his position, he would not have to worry about his opponent triggering the mechanism by vibrating the ground.
The two carefully walked towards the stone pillar in the middle of the room.
Swoosh!
Light thorns shot out from time to time. While the two dodged, they did not dare to use up all of their Qi. Neither of them could be sure if there was a mechanism at the place where they landed. If there was a mechanism, they could quickly dodge it, and if there was no mechanism, they could gather a whole breath of Qi again.
As for whether there was a mechanism at every place they landed, it was unlikely to happen. If it did, it would mean that they were extremely unlucky today. With their cultivation, although a breath of Zhen Qi could last longer than normal Early Clasping Yuan Realm warriors, it could only last seven times. After seven times, if there was still a mechanism at the place where they landed, they would definitely be eliminated.
Fortunately, this had not happened yet. The most dangerous situation was that there would only be four traps in a row.
Soon, the two approached the stone pillar at the same time.
"Come down."
Almost at the same time, the two reached out their hands towards the light ball on the stone pillar, trying to pull it down.
The light ball did not move at all.
At this moment, Ye Chen's hands, which were filled with Zhen Qi, stuck on the stone pillar and quickly flew up. Along the way, he changed his hands rhythmically, making sure that one of his hands was always touching the stone pillar.
Leng Wuqing thought for a while. He believed that Ye Chen did not do this for no reason. There might be danger in the air, so he should not act rashly.
Leng Wuqing followed suit. His hands, which were filled with Zhen Qi, also stuck on the stone pillar, chasing after Ye Chen. He was as agile as a monkey.
The stone pillar was only two hundred and twenty meters tall. Within two blinks of an eye, Ye Chen had already reached the top.
With his left hand and feet stuck on the stone pillar, Ye Chen's right hand formed a claw, trying to tear the light ball apart.
Pop!
The surface of the light ball had a strong elasticity, which almost sent Ye Chen flying.
"Good!"
The iron spear landed in his hand. Ye Chen gave a low growl and pierced the light ball with the spear.
Clang! The tip of the spear was blocked by a hand, which made a metal clashing sound.
"Let's see what we can do!" Ye Chen laughed. Red flames rose on the iron spear, which shook off Leng Wuqing's hand. Then, he took the opportunity to whip the light ball.
The light ball stayed where it was, motionless. Its surface was dented, making a creaking sound.
"Earth Demon's Body Breaking Cut!"
Leng Wuqing did not fight with Ye Chen. He turned his hand into a knife and chopped at the other side of the light ball.
Then, as if they had discussed it, the two of them attacked the light ball again and again. The light ball was dented and distorted.
Just at the moment when the light ball collapsed.
Ye Chen's body shook. Countless Qi swords floated around his body, flying toward the light ball and Leng Wuqing, covering the whole area.
Leng Wuqing's eyes flashed with cold light. He raised his hands to protect his face.
After a series of metal explosions, Leng Wuqing was unharmed. Those Qi Swords could not even break his skin. When he put down his hands, he found that the light ball had been broken, and the dark red secret book fell into Ye Chen's hands.
"Humph!"
Although Leng Wuqing was angry, he did not want to fight.
It was too inconvenient to fight from above. Ye Chen's body went down and landed on the ground.
Glancing at Leng Wuqing, Ye Chen opened the dark red secret book and looked at it.
After a while, Leng Wuqing, who was standing twenty steps away, asked, "What kind of secret book is it?"
Ye Chen smiled and said, "You are lucky. It is a palm secret book, and it is very powerful. It has reached the middle rank of Earth Realm. To be honest, even I am a bit tempted."
Leng Wuqing's face darkened. "But we had a deal. Are you going back on your word?"
Ye Chen shook his head. "What do you want to trade for it?"
Without hesitation, Leng Wuqing untied the heavy bag on his back and threw it to Ye Chen. He said, "There are seven low-rank Earth Realm secret books, sixty-five top-rank Human Realm secret books, a low-rank dagger, a low-rank light armor, a low-rank short knife, three Red Light Fireballs, and five herbs. Each of them is worth no less than fifty thousand gold. They are all yours."
Taking the bag, Ye Chen was surprised. "Don't you want to look at the secret books? They might not be suitable for you. "
Leng Wuqing said, "As long as they are martial arts, they are suitable for me. There is no need to look at them."
He opened the bag. Just like Leng Wuqing said, there were quite a lot of things inside. If he was not mistaken, only a small part of these things were obtained by Leng Wuqing himself. Most of them should be from disciples from other martial institutions. However, he did not care about the origin of these things.
The value of the things inside the bag was astonishing! The seven low-rank Earth Realm secret books were worth more than twenty-one thousand low-rank soul stones. The sixty-five top-rank Human Realm secret books were worth three thousand two hundred and fifty low-rank soul stones. A low-rank dagger was worth no less than five thousand low-rank soul stones. A low-rank light armor was even more valuable, probably worth more than twenty thousand low-rank soul stones. The low-rank short knife was worth no less than eight thousand low-rank soul stones. The three Red Light Fireballs were even more powerful weapons. They were powerful enough to kill a normal Early Clasping Yuan Realm martial artist. If a Mid Clasping Yuan Realm martial artist was caught off guard, he would also be blown to death. Each of them was worth no less than two million gold, which was five thousand low-rank soul stones. Three Red Light Fireballs were worth fifteen thousand low-rank soul stones. As for the three herbs, they were the least valuable, but they were still worth two hundred thousand gold, which was equivalent to five hundred low-rank soul stones.
The total value was about seventy-three thousand low-rank soul stones.
Ye Chen did not intend to give away the secret books. "Although there are a lot of things, they are not as valuable as the mid-rank Earth Realm secret books. If I give them to the sect, I can get three thousand mid-rank soul stones, which is one hundred and fifty thousand low-rank soul stones. You should know the importance of the low-rank Earth Realm secret books. It is enough to become the most important martial art of a rank 9 martial institution.
Leng Wuqing was stunned for a moment. What Ye Chen said was right. Mid-rank Earth Realm secret books were not cabbages. An ordinary rank 9 sect would be lucky to have one, and an rank 8 sect would at most have three. For example, although their Barbarian Devil Sect was a rank 7 sect, they only had five or six mid-rank Earth Realm secret books. Moreover, he had already seen most of them. Two of them were cultivation techniques, such as his Earth Devil Body Refining Technique. One of them was a supplementary cultivation technique, while the other two were movement techniques and leg techniques. None of them were suitable for him, otherwise, he would not have valued this secret book so much.
Ye Chen continued, "If I give you this secret book, not only will you not suffer a loss, but you will also earn a lot. The higher-ups of the Barbarian Devil Sect will definitely reward you with a large amount of low-rank soul stones or mid-rank soul stones. On the other hand, I will suffer a huge loss. Not only will I lose a secret book, I will also lose seventy-seven thousand low-rank soul stones. Don't you think so?"
"Then what do you suggest?" Leng Wuqing asked.
"That's easy. I will read the contents of this secret book to you. You can memorize it and cultivate it when you go back. As for the real book, leave it with me."
After hesitating for a moment, Leng Wuqing agreed.
