Combined Ruins
Chen Yuan stuffed the rings into her small hands.
Feeling the two rings in her palm, along with the partiality and gentleness in Chen Yuan's words.
The slight jealousy and grievances in Ye Baixi's heart vanished instantly, replaced by overwhelming sweetness and joy.
Her cheeks flushed slightly, and she nodded vigorously, treasuring the two storage rings as she put them away, replying sweetly, "I know, Big Brother is the best!"
【 Ding! Detected that the Host has gifted Ye Baixi 50,000 High-Grade Spirit Stones, triggering a thousand-fold return.
Congratulations to the Host for obtaining 5,000,000 High-Grade Spirit Stones.
Detected that the Host has gifted one Heaven Rank Low Grade Flying Sword, triggering a thousand-fold return.
Congratulations to the Host for obtaining a Saint Rank Flying Sword — chi you sword.
... 】
The System's return broadcast sounded continuously in Chen Yuan's mind, making him secretly delighted; he had actually rolled another Saint Rank Flying Sword.
Counting the previous return, he now possessed two Saint Rank Flying Swords and one Emperor Rank Flying Sword.
"Are you happy?" Chen Yuan caressed her cheek with his hand, then slid it down to her delicate collarbone.
Immediately after, he continued downward.
Stopping only when he reached her breasts.
Ye Baixi's face flushed, and her body went soft. "I... I'm happy!"
"Ying ying ying, don't... don't pinch."
Ye Baixi collapsed completely into Chen Yuan's embrace. "Big Brother, kiss... kiss me."
... Three hours later,
Chen Yuan straightened his robes and personally dressed Ye Baixi.
"Big Brother's skills have improved again. I must get stronger quickly, otherwise, I won't be able to satisfy Big Brother."
Ye Baixi thought to herself.
At this moment, Chen Yuan casually took out a positioning talisman and handed it to Ye Baixi.
This positioning talisman was of the seventh rank, a product of the System's thousand-fold return, capable of pinpointing an exact location.
Ye Baixi had just taken the positioning talisman.
Suddenly, "Rumble!!!"
The entire cave, no, the entire second layer of the Heavenly Treasure Secret Realm began to shake violently without warning!
It was as if a Dragon was turning over, mountains collapsing!
Pebbles fell rustling from the cave ceiling.
"What's going on?"
"Is it an earthquake?"
Qin Shuhan, Shen Nianchu, and Lin Xue, who were Cultivating, were all startled awake and stood up in alert instantly.
Lin Heng, who was keeping watch at the cave entrance, also quickly retreated back inside.
Chen Yuan dispelled the Formation, grabbed Lin Xue from across the air, and shielded her and Ye Baixi behind him.
The violent shaking continued for about ten breaths of time before slowly subsiding.
Immediately after, an even more vast aura, as if coming from the Origin of the primordial era, erupted from the depths of the Secret Realm, sweeping across the entire world!
In the sky, streaks of auspicious light appeared out of thin air, weaving into a brilliant curtain of light.
Vaguely visible behind the curtain of light were the shadows of even more towering mountains and the outlines of palaces.
At the same time, all the Cultivators in the Secret Realm, regardless of where they were, saw this scene before their eyes.
The entire Secret Realm instantly boiled over!
"It's the third layer! The legendary third layer has opened!"
"The relic of a Body Integration Stage expert! Heavens!"
"I must go!"
Countless Cultivators, like sharks smelling blood, shot up into the sky from every corner of the second layer, turning into streaks of light and speeding towards the direction where the auspicious light was most intense!
Chen Yuan and his group walked out of the cave, gazing at the spectacular phenomenon in the sky and the countless figures streaking across the firmament like a meteor shower, their expressions varied.
Lin Xue, Ye Baixi, and Shen Nianchu were somewhat shocked; Qin Shuhan's eyes were grave; while Lin Heng was rubbing his hands and almost drooling.
Chen Yuan's gaze was deep as he looked toward the entrance of the third layer of the Void Realm, the corners of his mouth slowly curling into an arc.
"It's time for us to move as well."
Chen Yuan turned around and looked at everyone. "Let's go."
"Okay!" everyone replied in unison.
Chen Yuan's group did not hesitate any longer and turned into six streaks of light, merging into the torrent.
The closer they got to the source of the auspicious light, the more Cultivators there were around them, the sound of breaking through the air endless.
Ahead, what was originally the boundary of the second layer of space was now rippling like the surface of water, forming a massive gate of light that spanned heaven and earth.
Behind the gate of light, one could vaguely see the blurry scenes of mountains, rivers, palaces, and pavilions; that was the third layer.
According to rumors, the entire third layer was a Body Integration relic.
Before the gate of light, the power of space became increasingly chaotic.
Many Cultivators with insufficient cultivation or inadequate preparation were torn apart by that chaotic spatial power the moment they approached the gate of light, or were repelled and fell.
Screams were endless.
"Stay close to me!"
Chen Yuan let out a low shout, spiritual power surging around his body, and his Sword Domain unfolded, enveloping the six of them.
Just as they were about to pass through the gate of light, the surrounding scene instantly twisted and blurred.
By the time Chen Yuan steadied his figure, he was already in the third layer of the Secret Realm, the Body Integration relic.
What met his eyes was a dilapidated ancient plaza, with cracked blue boulders beneath his feet.
He quickly sensed his surroundings, his brows slightly furrowed.
Ye Baixi and the others were not by his side!
Could it be that the gate of light had randomly scattered them to different locations in the relic?
He tried to contact the others via his communication jade pendant, only to find that the spatial rules here were special, and communication was severely interfered with, making it impossible to communicate.
The most urgent task was to find little Baixi and Lin Xue first.
Without him by their side, Chen Yuan was very worried.
Fortunately, before coming in, Chen Yuan had given Ye Baixi a positioning talisman.
With a thought, he sensed the exact location of the positioning talisman.
It was not very far from him.
Chen Yuan did not hesitate any longer, turning into a streak of light and flying towards the direction of Ye Baixi.
At the same time, he released his Divine Sense to probe for potential dangers.
His Divine Sense far exceeded those of the same rank; although it was suppressed here, it could still cover a considerably vast area.
Very soon, he captured several powerful auras moving in the distance; they were clearly other Prodigies who had also been teleported in.
At this moment, Ye Baixi had landed in a desolate bamboo forest; the bamboo leaves were withered and yellow, devoid of any vitality.
She was somewhat nervous, feeling many powerful auras around her, which made her feel a bit uneasy.
At this moment, the grass beside her suddenly trembled, which gave Ye Baixi quite a scare. She quickly drew her Ningshuang Sword, preparing to fight at any moment.
"Ahem!"
A figure darted out from the grass. When Ye Baixi saw who it was, she was pleasantly surprised. "Little Sister Lin Xue!"
Lin Xue's white dress was now a bit disheveled, and there were some leaves on her head, as if she had just crawled out of a dog hole.
"Lin Xue, what happened to you?"
Lin Xue was also pleasantly surprised to see Ye Baixi. She quickly used a Cleansing Spell to clean her dress, then walked over quickly, saying with a look of despair:
"Sister Baixi, what kind of portal is this! It actually made me land head-first, and in a pile of withered leaves at that."
Ye Baixi couldn't help but laugh and cry at these words.
"Where is Senior Sister Shu Han? Are they nearby too?"
Lin Xue replied: "The probability of that is very small. Revered Master told me that the teleportation through the third-layer gate of light is random; the probability of two people being teleported together is less than one percent."
"So that means, Little Sister Lin Xue and I are very fated!"
"Eh? Why is there pastry on the corner of your mouth? Where did it come from?"
Lin Xue reached out and touched the corner of Ye Baixi's mouth, then put it into her own mouth to taste. Immediately, her face flushed red. She had eaten this before; the taste was incomparably familiar. This wasn't pastry at all!
It's Gold Leaf!
