50: A thousandfold critical strike returns the primordial energy to all things!

"Dragon-patterned Immortal Source." A trace of greed flashed in Ye Chen's eyes, but he immediately became vigilant. "That is the Demonic Path's territory, and it is said to hold great terror. How can I succeed?"

"No need to worry." Heavenly Secret Master said confidently. "Currently, the area around Fallen Demon Valley has been set up with the Wanling Blood River Formation by the Blood God Sect. They have spread rumors through their moles in the Righteous Path to lure Cultivators from the Ten Gates of the Immortal Dao to investigate. In reality, this is to blood sacrifice them and loosen the Seal at the bottom of the valley."

"Tomorrow at noon, the first batch of Nascent Soul Cultivators to investigate will fall into the trap. At that time, the operation of the formation will show a trace of extremely minute loosening."

"You can take advantage of that slight loosening to escape into the underground mineral vein and take the Immortal Source without anyone knowing. By then, the Blood God Sect will be busy breaking the formation and will have no time to attend to you."

After hearing these words, the vigilance in Ye Chen's eyes completely turned into ecstasy.

Fishing in troubled waters, plucking chestnuts from the fire.

This was exactly what he was best at.

"Many thanks for your guidance, Senior. This time, I will definitely not fail again."

Ye Chen clenched his fists, towering hatred rising in his eyes.

"Lu Yuan, once I recover my strength, I will definitely tear you into ten thousand pieces."

...

11 PM - 1 AM.

Longevity Peak, Immortal Cave.

Lu Yuan withdrew his mind from the gentle embrace of Gu Qingxue and Su Yueli, and looked at the intelligence that had just refreshed before him.

【Purple Intelligence: The Son of Destiny, Ye Chen, has learned a piece of secret information. At the deepest part of the Dragon-patterned Black Gold mineral vein beneath Fallen Demon Valley, a rare piece of Dragon-patterned Immortal Source has been born, containing Dragon-patterned Immortal Liquid.

Ye Chen will sneak in tomorrow at noon when the Blood God Sect's formation loosens. If he can refine this item, it can compensate for the lost Origin of his Innate Dao Body, and his strength is expected to recover as it was before.】

【Blue Intelligence: The Blood God Sect of the Six Demonic Sects is plotting to break the Seal of Fallen Demon Valley and rescue the Blood River Ancestor. They have already spread rumors through moles in the Ten Gates of the Immortal Dao to lure Righteous Path Cultivators to go there.

Tomorrow at noon, the first batch of several Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators going to investigate will be ambushed and perish on the spot, becoming the first batch of nourishment for the Wanling Blood River Formation.】

【White Intelligence: In order to ensure nothing goes wrong, the Blood God Sect has not only contacted the Blissful Union Sect but also Wanhun Hall. The Wanhun Hall Master, Soul Refining Venerable, because his split soul was destroyed, holds a grudge against the Host and has agreed to form an alliance with the Blood God Sect, intending to use the power of the Blood River Ancestor to take revenge.】

After reading the intelligence, the smile on the corner of Lu Yuan's mouth grew colder.

"Dragon-patterned Immortal Source, to complete the Origin?"

"Ye Chen, you really are my gift-delivering boy!"

"As for the Blood God Sect's plot..."

Lu Yuan stood up, his gaze piercing through the Void Realm, looking towards the direction of Fallen Demon Valley, a trace of thought flashing in the depths of his eyes.

The sky was slightly bright.

Lu Yuan did not alert anyone; his figure blurred, and he disappeared into thin air.

This time, he fully unleashed the Second Transformation Law of Space, his speed reaching the extreme.

In just an instant, he had crossed hundreds of thousands of miles and arrived outside Fallen Demon Valley.

At this moment, Fallen Demon Valley looked no different from usual.

However, under Lu Yuan's Divine Sense sensing, he could clearly see that the Void Realm within a hundred miles was already covered with dense blood-colored formation patterns.

Wanling Blood River Formation.

This was a peerless fierce formation at the Peak of the fifth rank. Once activated, anyone below the Soul Transformation stage would die upon contact, and even a Soul Transformation Cultivator who fell into it would have to shed a layer of skin.

However, in front of Lu Yuan's Second Transformation Law of Space, this formation appeared full of loopholes.

Lu Yuan took a step, his body seemingly entering a space in another dimension, directly ignoring the obstruction of those blood-colored formation patterns, passing through the formation as if entering a place with no one, and sneaking into the depths of the underground.

He followed the direction of the Dragon-patterned Black Gold mineral vein and dived all the way down.

Finally, in a spirit aperture three thousand zhang underground, he saw a crystal stone the size of a millstone, dark gold in its entirety, with natural dragon patterns on its surface.

Inside that crystal, a mass of golden liquid flowed slowly, emitting an intoxicating aura of the Dao.

Dragon-patterned Immortal Source.

"Good stuff."

Lu Yuan praised, waved his large sleeve, and directly took it into his possession.

【Ding, successfully intercepted the Son of Destiny Ye Chen's purple Opportunity, Dragon-patterned Immortal Source, triggering a thousand-fold critical return, Innate Rare Treasure — myriad things mother qi!】

【myriad things mother qi: It is an Innate Rare Treasure born from the combination of the Origin of the Law of Earth and the Origin of the Law of Gold in Chaos. It is boundlessly thick and peerlessly sharp.

After refining, it can help the Host's Earth and Gold Laws undergo a qualitative change, reaching the third transformation level, and the Physical Body will also be able to transform.】

Hearing the System's prompt, the smile on Lu Yuan's face became even more brilliant.

myriad things mother qi.

This was a divine object countless times more precious than the Dragon-patterned Immortal Source.

With the item in hand, Lu Yuan did not rush to leave.

He looked at the empty spirit aperture in front of him, a trace of playfulness flashing in his eyes.

"If that kid Ye Chen runs here after much difficulty only to find it empty, I'm afraid he'll be so angry he'll vomit blood."

"Since I'm here, I must leave him a souvenir."

Lu Yuan formed Seals with his hands, and runes containing the third transformation Law of Space were struck into the surrounding rock walls.

"Tai Xu Immortal Sealing Formation."

This was a trapping formation he had obtained from the Inheritance Grand Hall of the Tai Xu Secret Realm.

Although it had no lethality, its effect in trapping enemies was excellent.

Once someone stepped into it, the space would instantly fold and lock, forming an independent cage.

Unless one was proficient in the Law of Space or possessed brute force capable of breaking the Void Realm, it would be extremely difficult to escape.

"Ye Chen, I hope you like this big gift."

After setting the trap, Lu Yuan clapped his hands, his figure disappeared into the Void Realm again, and he left Fallen Demon Valley silently.

...

After returning to the Azure Cloud Sect, Lu Yuan immediately announced his seclusion.

Inside the Immortal Cave.

A mass of mysterious yellow Qi floated in mid-air, emitting a heavy and sharp aura, pressing down so hard that the surrounding Void Realm let out groans of unbearable weight.

myriad things mother qi.

Lu Yuan sat cross-legged, opened his mouth to inhale, and sucked the mass of myriad things mother qi into his body.

Boom!

Lu Yuan's bones made crisp sounds like exploding beans, every inch of flesh and blood trembled and cracked under this terrifying weight, and then immediately repaired rapidly under the vitality of the Azure Emperor Wood Emperor Art.

Destruction, reorganization.

In this continuous cycle, his Physical Body began to undergo earth-shattering changes.

The skin that was originally crystal clear like jade was gradually stained with a faint layer of mysterious yellow color, revealing an aura of immortality that would not be worn away through ten thousand kalpas.

At the same time, within his five viscera divine storehouses, the two Dharma images of the White Emperor and the Yellow Emperor began to expand crazily under the nourishment of the myriad things mother qi.

These two Laws, which were originally somewhat conflicting, were perfectly fused together under the mediation of the myriad things mother qi.

Rumble!

Bursts of thunderous sounds came from within Lu Yuan's body.

Behind him, a golden desert appeared, each grain of sand as heavy as Mount Tai.

The Gold and Earth Laws, at this moment, stepped into the third transformation level together.

Thus, among Lu Yuan's Five Elements Laws, except for Water and Fire which were still at the Second Transformation, the other three Systems had all stepped into the third transformation.

His strength soared again.

With his current strength, he also had the confidence to intervene in the matter of Fallen Demon Valley. After all, he had already regarded the Dragon-patterned Black Gold mineral vein of Fallen Demon Valley as his own, and of course, he would not allow outsiders to touch it.
