450: Chapter 450 Gray Stone Tablet

The Huahai Pool was not large, measuring only about a zhang square.

The water was not ordinary water, but rather five-colored auspicious light so dense it had almost condensed into liquid. It felt warm and moist to the touch and contained unimaginably vast energy.

As soon as he stepped inside, Ye Tian couldn't help but let out a comfortable grunt.

The wound on his right shoulder, which had been eroded by Yin Wujiang's Death Qi, had been plagued by bone-piercing pain.

Yet, at this moment, it was rapidly dissolving under the envelopment of the Five Elements Essence and the Dynasty Luck.

Wisps of black energy were forced out, annihilating within the five-colored auspicious light with a sizzling sound.

The wound also began to heal, the new skin gleaming with a jade-like luster.

This was only the beginning.

He sat cross-legged and sank into the center of the pool.

In an instant, the Innate essence of the five attributes—Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth—no longer required him to refine them with effort; instead, they actively surged into his limbs and bones.

They were not chaotic; instead, they nourished and strengthened his corresponding five internal organs, similar to the results of his previous Five Elements Body Tempering, making the Foundation of his initially Minor Achievement Five Elements Precious Body even more solid.

At the same time, an even more magnificent Dynasty Luck slowly merged in.

This Luck did not enhance his cultivation, but it caused the True Essence within his body, which had been slightly unstable due to his Breakthrough, to rapidly unify and harmonize.

His state of mind, under the infiltration of this majestic energy, also became more composed. The pressure from the days of slaughter, tension, and life-and-death situations dissipated by more than half.

The core of all this, the chaos bead and the Chaos Mark in his Sea of Consciousness, also vibrated slightly.

Each time, a trace of Origin Aura flowed out, merging with his own Chaos True Essence, pushing it to transform to a higher level.

In just one day, the wound on Ye Tian's shoulder had completely healed, without even leaving a scar.

His internal True Essence was full and surging; his condition was better than ever.

On the second day, just as he was immersed in the pleasure of this rapid improvement, the Chaos Mark on his chest suddenly grew slightly hot, and a stream of information slowly poured into his mind.

Chaos Derivation Art, Chaos Thunder Gang Nine-Layer Refining Method.

"When Chaos first opened, thunder was born. Gang means firm, upright, extremely Yang and fierce, breaking evil and revealing righteousness... First Layer Thunder Gang, split mountains and crack stones. Second Layer Thunder Gang, drive away evil and break Laws. Third Layer Thunder Gang, can summon heavenly phenomena... Nine Layers Perfection, Chaos Lightning Tribulation, can control life and death..."

The information was incomplete, only the general outline of the first volume and the specific refining methods for the first three layers of Thunder Gang, but it already made Ye Tian's heart surge.

He finally had a systematic method to refine and elevate the Chaos Thunder Gang!

What he had used in previous battles was merely the crudest application, yet its power was already extraordinary.

If he could Cultivate to the ninth layer according to this method...

Its power would be simply unimaginable!

He immediately began to try and refine the second layer of Thunder Gang according to the method.

The Huahai Pool provided almost endless energy support, the chaos bead assisted in harmonization, and the Dynasty Luck stabilized his mind; the entire process went very smoothly.

By the end of the second day, he had successfully refined a second-layer Thunder Gang seed on the basis of the original, which was deeper in color and at least twice as powerful.

He only needed to continue nourishing and strengthening it with Chaos True Essence in the future.

Cultivation knows no time, and in the blink of an eye, it was the third day.

Just as Ye Tian was preparing to make one final push to stabilize the second-layer Thunder Gang, the chaos bead in his Sea of Consciousness suddenly vibrated gently, pointing in a certain direction at the bottom of the pool.

"Hmm?"

Ye Tian woke up from his deep meditation, his brows slightly furrowed.

Was there something at the bottom of this Huahai Pool that could move the chaos bead?

He hesitated for a moment.

This place was the Imperial Family's ancestral ground; the object at the bottom of the pool was likely of great significance.

But the chaos bead's intuition had never been wrong, and it seemed that the object was of great benefit to the chaos bead.

After a moment of contemplation, Ye Tian decided to go down and take a look.

With his current cultivation, holding his breath and diving was not a problem.

He slipped into the depths of the pool.

The further down he went, the fainter the five-colored auspicious light became. The pool water became clear, but the pressure became increasingly greater—an ordinary Huahai Realm Cultivator would likely be unable to withstand it.

Fortunately, Ye Tian's Physical Body was robust, and he barely managed to support himself.

Following the guidance of the chaos bead, he discovered a foreign object hidden in the jade at the corner of the pool bottom.

It was a broken stone tablet, only two or three feet high. The fracture was uneven, and the tablet body was a dull cyan-gray.

Most of the stone tablet was embedded in the jade at the bottom of the ground, with only a small section exposed, on which was carved a huge ancient Seal character: "Suppress".

The brushwork was forceful, carved deep into the stone. Even after countless years, that "Suppress" character still exuded a domineering Aura capable of suppressing the mountains, rivers, and all things.

"This is..."

Ye Tian felt a sense of awe in his heart.

Just looking at this character made him feel a heaviness in his mind.

The direction indicated by the chaos bead was exactly from this broken tablet.

He stared at the stone tablet and hesitated for a moment, but in the end, unable to overcome his curiosity, he carefully reached out his hand.

However, the moment his hand touched the stone tablet, the scene before his eyes suddenly collapsed!

Countless images, roars, light, and a monstrously fierce Devilish Qi rushed into his mind!

He saw an ancient battlefield where the land was scorched for a thousand miles and the firmament was shattered.

A terrifying Demon General, over a hundred zhang tall, shrouded in thick black energy, with three heads and six arms, holding various strange demonic weapons, was rampaging madly.

Wherever it passed, lives were ruined, and the earth turned into scorched soil.

The Demon General's Aura was of the same Origin as Yin Wujiang's, but it was more than a thousand times, ten thousand times stronger!

That was a true Demon General of the Nether Abyss!

Immediately following this, a figure wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, wearing a flat-topped crown, with a blurred face but majestic presence, descended. It was one of the ancestors of the Great Yan Imperial Family, or rather, the current Old Ancestor in his youth!

In his hand, he held the complete cyan stone tablet!

"Suppress!"

The Old Ancestor spoke the true word and threw the stone tablet out.

The stone tablet swelled, turning into the size of a mountain, emitting a brilliant divine light that suppressed heaven and earth, fiercely pressing down on that Demon General!

The Demon General roared, all three heads howled, six arms held up the sky, resisting the stone tablet!

An earth-shattering collision!

Space shattered, and the Law wailed!

Eventually, the stone tablet cracked. Most of it shattered and disappeared, but a small part, carrying that "Suppress" character, smashed the Demon General's demonic body into pieces!

However, the Demon General's remnant soul did not die, turning into a wisp of black energy and attempting to escape.

The Old Ancestor was clearly severely injured, his Aura withered, but he forcibly summoned the last of his strength to draw upon the Dynasty Luck.

He saw a golden Dragon swallow the wisp of the Demon General's remnant soul that was attempting to escape, and then, carrying the broken stone tablet, it sank into the depths of the earth, using the Imperial Dynasty Luck as a cage to suppress and Seal it for eternity!

The vision ended there.

Ye Tian yanked his hand back, staggering back a few steps. His face was pale, his forehead was already covered in cold sweat, and he was panting heavily.

Merely watching that illusion had almost exhausted his mind.

The fierce might of that Demon General and the Aura of the Old Ancestor when he finally suppressed it were deeply imprinted in his mind.

"The Nether Abyss Demon General was suppressed here by the Imperial Family's Old Ancestor..."

Ye Tian's heart raced, and he instantly understood many things.

Yin Wujiang's descent into the Lower Realm was likely not just for the ruins core inheritor; more importantly, it was to find or even awaken this suppressed Demon General's remnant soul!

And the Imperial Family's Old Ancestor had been severely injured in that battle, silent for many years, only awakening in recent years.

He granted him permission to enter the Huahai Pool—could it be that he wanted to use him to guard this Seal?

Thinking of this, Ye Tian couldn't help but feel his scalp tingle.

He had killed Yin Wujiang and had already crossed the Nether Abyss.

The Imperial Family's Old Ancestor had extended an olive branch, and he had even less desire to accept it!

Ye Tian stood at the bottom of the pool, looking at the stone tablet in silence for a long time.

By the fifth day, the energy of the Huahai Pool had been mostly absorbed by Ye Tian.

He opened his eyes, the sharp light within his pupils restrained, and his Aura was like an abyss.

His Realm of the Early Stage of the Huahai Realm was completely stabilized, the second layer of the Chaos Thunder Gang had been successfully refined, and his Five Elements Precious Body had advanced further, not far from Major Achievement.

It could be said that the gains from this trip to the Huahai Pool were quite good.
