Chapter 347 - Sky Swimming Switcheroo!
"Ye Xuan has slain a colony of peak master level purple sun-bugs, acc.u.mulating five hundred contribution points for Lin Shiru."
"Ye Xuan opened the purple treasure c.h.e.s.t, acc.u.mulating thirty thousand contribution points for Lin Shiru and unlocking a permanent nature crystal."
At that moment, as Ye Xuan opened the purple treasure c.h.e.s.t, a spectrum of lights was beginning to form at the trial grounds of the Divine Nature Palace.
Like a rainbow, the light beamed across the sky several times before finally landing on the list above Lin Shiru’s head.
It engraved itself onto the list with a strange marking.
The list seemed very strange.
As if it was not just a simple list.
With every time Ye Xuan slew a monster and every time he opened a c.h.e.s.t, the light that fell upon the list seemed to condense into something solid.
Especially this time after Ye Xuan unlocked the purple treasure c.h.e.s.t.
Something odd and unexpected was occurring.
"A colony of peak master level purple sun gold bugs?"
"Purple treasure c.h.e.s.t?"
"Thirty thousand contribution points?"
"And a permanently owned nature crystal?"
At that same time, after witnessing the marvelous spectrum of lights fall upon Lin Shiru’s list and displaying the aforementioned message,
Everyone at the Divine Nature Palace was petrified.
They had no reason not to be.
This was a colony of peak master-level purple sun gold bugs.
And what about Ye Xuan?
He was only supposed to be diamond level.
Shouldn’t he be able to face challenger opponents by then?
And perhaps even come out on top?
At that moment, everyone’s heart was filled with fear.
"Ge Hongshuang!"
But as everyone was astonished by Ye Xuan’s performance and felt envy towards Lin Shiru’s good luck and success,
On a distant illusory round stage, Fan Jian, who entered the secret realm with Ge Hongshuang, seemed oblivious to the madness occurring around him.
Right then, his eyes were bloodshot and his face displayed a crazed expression. He was using the special connection the Divine Nature Palace created between him and Ge Hongshuang
to intently monitor everything Ge Hongshuang did on the trial grounds.
"My Eternal Night Clan currently possesses three legendary level beast tamers to the Cerulean Planet’s zero."
He sniffed at the faint fragrance emanated from Ge Hongshuang’s body and smiled lightly. "Also, our Eternal Night Clan had allied with the Silver Blood Clan and the likes of many other powerful clans. We are looking for a way for our legendary beast tamers to descend upon the Cerulean Planet."
"Once the most powerful of our clansmen descend upon the Cerulean Planet, whatever Ye Xuan, whatever Xia, would just bespeckle of dust in our eyes."
"Therefore, you joining us Eternal Night Clan now would be the best option."
"Plus, you possess our Eternal Night Clan bloodline in the first place. Trust me, with your talents and this Spirit Turtle Seer you agreed with, both of y’all would serve a great purpose for our Eternal Night Clan."
"Whether or not we could be of the great purpose to the Eternal Night Clan, would depend on how much Prince Qingkong you are willing to support us."
Ge Hongshuang gazed at Ye Qingkong and nudged closer to him.
Before he found Ye Qingkong, he already knew that Ye Qingkong was a figure of high importance within the Eternal Night Clan.
Because he was the descendant of one of the three legendary level beast tamers.
"Haha."
"Whether or not I would support you depends on whether you are one of us and to whom do you belong."
His wicked gaze looked up and down Ge Hongshuang.
Everything aside, Ge Hongshuang was quite good-looking.
Plus she had the humans of Cerulean Planet’s bloodline.
This bloodline added a flavor of exoticism to her looks to the eyes of the Eternal Night Clan.
This was why when Ye Qingkong first saw Ge Hongshuang, it did not take long before wicked thoughts emerged in his mind.
Now that he saw Ge Hongshuang even had the intent to approach him first, he definitely would not hold back.
After Ge Hongshunag felt Ye Qingkong wrap his arm around her, she made a feigned attempt to resist.
Then the two of them gave in to each other’s passion right there in the sky, above the back of the large verdant colored bird, and under the watchful eyes of Fan Jian in the Divine Nature Palace.
They were in no rush at all.
There was a trial of the Divine Nature Temple lasts two whole days.
Two days was plenty of time for them to devise a plan against Ye Xuan.
In the Divine Nature Palace, Fan Jian felt like his head was about to explode.
He liked Ge Hongshuang for so long. Only recently, as if some miracle had occurred, not only did his power increase greatly but Ge Hongshuang also agreed to be with him.
But she never let him as much as touch her hands.
And what about now?
His mind was so chaotic as he worked hard to suppress the urge to barge into the trial grounds and grind the pair of a.d.u.l.terers to shreds.
He had lost all interest in the trial of the Divine Nature Palace.
"Time to hunt down some monster."
At that moment, after Ye Xuan opened the purple treasure c.h.e.s.t and yielded greatly, he summoned all of his beasts one by one
and unleashed a massacre against the countless monsters in the trial grounds.
This was probably all he could gain from this trial at the Divine Nature Palace.
But the same could not be said for Linlin.
With each monster he slays, he could acc.u.mulate a certain amount of contribution points for Linlin.
There was no limit on that.
"Ye Xuan, in your opinion, would my cultivation speed surpass you in the future?"
At the same time, as Ye Xuan was hunting down monsters across the trial grounds.
Lin Shiru full of smiles and chatting with Ye Xuan through her mind from the Divine Nature Palace.
"Surpass me?"
Ye Xuan looked at Lin Shiru. "That would be great. If that is the case, then I could take the backseat now."
"Alright."
Lin Shiru said it almost subconsciously. Then, realizing what she had said, she blushed and changed the topic. "I’m being serious with you right now, the natural crystal you got me just now was the nature crystal they awarded for my talents trial earlier."
"I have a feeling that the entire Divine Nature Palace only has one nature crystal."
"Which was why they would only let me use it for two days before because it would remain here after that."
"But now the item is bound to me, which means it became my personal possession."
"The divine power encapsulated in this natural crystal is not only vast but extremely pure."
"This divine power has great effects on beasts."
"And every time it uses up some of its energy, it could recharge through absorbing the natural energy from its surroundings."
"Wow, it’s this strong?"
Ye Xuan heard Lin Shiru’s description of the natural crystal and was astonished.
He did not know the nature crystal Lin Shiru obtained would be this potent.
Though he felt that this item’s effect would still be lacking compared to the Nine Heavens Black Spirit Aura.
But this item won in terms of durability.
"But..."
Lin Shiru’s voice faltered slightly. "This natural crystal is bound to me, which means the divine energy it generates could only be used by beasts that entered into contracts with me. Your beasts cannot use it."
"Haha, that’s really no problem at all."
Ye Xuan laughed.
Even though he felt it was somewhat unfortunate.
But it was what it was.
His current cultivation speed was incredibly fast already.
Then, a thought emerged and he asked, "Are there any other weaknesses of the natural crystal? I mean, can the divine power it encapsulates be used by all beasts?"
"No, it cannot."
Lin Shiru shook her head. "For example, nether type beasts and some special kinds of beasts cannot utilize the divine power provided by the nature crystal to increase cultivation. But luckily, all of my beasts are covered by the natural crystal."
"That’s a relief."
Ye Xuan nodded.
He wondered what level of treasure was this nature crystal Lin Shiru obtained.
"Hmm?"
Just as he thought, he was alerted by the Tidal Treasure Snail and immediately looked towards the sky.
Then, he saw a large, dreamy white bird soaring through the clouds.
This large bird was like an illusion. If one did not look hard enough, they would miss it.
"What’s going on."
Ye Xuan saw the bird and flinched.
Normally, once a life form entered within a five hundred mile radius of him, it would be discovered by the Tidal Treasure Snail.
But this time he did not receive a single warning.
It was not until the bird was super close to him that the Tidal Treasure Snail discovered it.
"Vroom vroom."
Inside the beast lair, the Tidal Treasure Snail vibrated. Then, it was summoned by Ye Xuan and appeared on his head.
"So this thing is not a life form?"
After Ye Xuan interpreted the message through the Tidal Treasure Snail’s vibration, he was slightly astonished.
According to the Tidal Treasure Snail, the huge white bird was not a life form.
Which was why it had not appeared in the real-time mini-map as a red dot.
Which was why it could fly above Ye Xuan’s head undetected while he was distracted.
And so...
It used the opportunity while Ye Xuan was apologizing and flew out of the beast lair to land on his head.
"If it isn’t a beast, then what is it?"
Ye Xuan looked up and squinted at the large white bird in the sky.
Then he opened his beast editor and confirmed that this thing really was not a beast.
It was like the shadow of a large flying bird.
"Vroom vroom!"
Sensing Ye Xuan’s confusion, the Tidal Treasure Snail vibrated lightly on Ye Xuan’s head and relayed him another message.
"Hmm?"
Having received the Tidal Treasure Snail’s message, a light flashed across Ye Xuan’s eyes.
Through its real-time mini-map, he discovered a Silver Blood Clan beast tamer at a location three hundred miles away.
At the same time, soaring above that beast tamer’s head was the same large white bird.
The only distinction was that one was real and the other one an illusion.
"Ye Xuan?"
At the same time, three hundred miles away from Ye Xuan, above a forest.
The Silver Blood Clan beast tamer Meng En was controlling the beast soaring above him
when he discovered Ye Xuan through the beast’s shared vision.
"I can’t believe my luck."
After discovering Ye Xuan, his murderous intent immediately emerged.
In all of the trial grounds, many people wanted Ye Xuan dead.
They never would have thought that he found Ye Xuan now.
And that was when he was using the Sky Swimming Shadow Technique a thousand some meters away.
"Sky Swimming Switcheroo!"
Then, as a thought emerged, he commanded his beast the Ancient Sky Swimming Vulture to switch places with the Sky Swimming Shadow Technique is used earlier.
"Hmm?"
Just as he completed all this, three hundred meters away, Ye Xuan discovered
that the huge bird illusion hovering above his head moments ago materialized and became a flesh and bone life form.
Then, it plunged from the sky directly towards him.
