433: Chapter 433 Good Idea

"Ye Qing's methods really are endless."

War King watched, unable to help but sigh with emotion. The others nodded in agreement; indeed, Ye Qing's methods were truly extraordinary. Even the formation he had just stepped into existence was something they had never seen before.

"However, what is Ye Qing trying to do?"

"It looks like Ye Qing intends to use this Sword Qi to cut these bones open and see if there are any of the golden light orbs we discovered earlier inside," King Fenghai explained from the side.

While he was speaking, Ye Qing softly said, "Go."

Streaks of Sword Qi, as if hearing a command, surged forward to attack.

Clang!

Clang!

Clang...

Sounds of metal clashing rang out, followed by the sound of shattering.

Crack!

After a loud explosion, everyone looked over abruptly.

It was cut open!

It was really cut open!

And it seemed effortless!

Good grief...

In that instant, their eyes widened, and they could hardly believe what they were seeing.

As the bones were sliced open, several faint rays of light emerged.

"Huh?!"

"Look, it's that light orb! It's the same light orb we found inside that King-level Exotic Beast earlier, but it was eaten by Ye Qing's tiger."

As King Fenghai spoke, everyone looked over at the light orbs. Were these light orbs actually hidden inside the bones?

This was quite strange, but it must be a method only powerful King-level Experts possess, allowing them to concentrate energy in various parts of their bodies.

They wanted to study them further, but the Six-Winged Sky Tiger made its move.

It rushed forward and absorbed all the light orbs into its body.

Everyone: "..."

Good grief, you're too impatient!

At least let us take a look!

Ah!

In an instant, they all looked at the Six-Winged Sky Tiger with resentment, looking like disgruntled wives. The Six-Winged Sky Tiger sensed their gazes and looked back at them, its eyes filled with nothing but disdain.

It felt the energy within its body and began to guide it.

King Fenghai walked over to Ye Qing and then looked at the Six-Winged Sky Tiger.

"This guy has devoured so much energy this time; it should be able to achieve a Breakthrough, right?"

Breakthrough?!

These two words fell upon everyone's ears. This guy, is it going to have another Breakthrough?

This guy was already formidable.

Besides, didn't it just have a Breakthrough a short while ago? Can it really have another one now?

How terrifying would it be after a Breakthrough...

In an instant, they didn't even dare to imagine it.

Hearing King Fenghai's words, Ye Qing waved his hand. "It shouldn't be able to achieve a Breakthrough. Although it ate quite a few light orbs this time, there is a significant gap between these and the one from last time. Too much of the energy contained within has dissipated. All these light orbs together might not equal the energy contained in the single orb from before. I'm wondering, should we venture further inside?"

At Ye Qing's words, everyone felt cold sweat break out.

They had never ventured this deep into this location before.

They were already deep enough; if they went any further...

there would likely be real danger.

As they thought this, they spoke up one after another.

"Ye Qing, let's stop here. After all, we have already come deep enough this time. If we continue forward, I'm afraid it will truly be dangerous."

"That's right, we've had a bountiful harvest this time. We'll transport these bones out shortly, and your tiger has also increased its strength. We feel this is enough for now."

"Exactly..."

As everyone spoke, Ye Qing looked ahead, narrowing his eyes. He had ventured deep inside this time to see if he could find any stone statues.

But it seemed there weren't any.

Ye Qing had originally thought that these stone statues would be evenly distributed within the Fissure, but it didn't seem to be the case.

He recalled hearing that there were a few stone statues at other Fissure entrances.

It seemed that these stone statues were more concentrated at the Fissure entrances and almost non-existent deep inside.

This was strange; why would they be distributed in such a way?

In an instant, many questions arose in Ye Qing's heart, causing him to stand there and begin to ponder.

Beside him, everyone looked at Ye Qing's expression with helplessness on their faces.

What was this guy plotting now?

Did he hear what they said just now?

If he heard them, that would be fine, but if he didn't take it to heart and insisted on going his own way, what were they supposed to do?

Even King Fenghai, seeing Ye Qing like this, prepared to step forward to persuade him again, but...

Just as he walked up to Ye Qing and began, "Ye Qing..."

"Alright, let's head back. Let's stop here for today. As you all said, we have gained quite a lot from coming in this time."

As he spoke, Ye Qing smiled.

Everyone: "..."

Gained quite a lot?

That was a massive harvest!

Especially for you!

Your artifact spirit has undergone a Third Ancestral Return!

Wait...

In an instant, they froze. Thinking of this, they realized they had originally come over to ask Ye Qing how he had managed to make his artifact spirit undergo an Ancestral Return.

Subsequently, they spoke up, "Ye Qing, we were just about to ask you something. What did you do in front of the stone statue? How were you able to make your artifact spirit undergo a Third Ancestral Return? We stood there just like you for a while, but we didn't gain any insights."

This remark refreshed everyone's memory.

"That's right, we followed your example, standing there just like you and placing our hands on the stone statue, trying to feel what was inside, but there really wasn't any reaction."

"Tell us about your insights..."

As everyone spoke, Ye Qing smiled. As for the truth, Ye Qing naturally couldn't tell them.

He then spoke some vague platitudes about needing to gain insights on one's own, fate, and the like.

Hearing this, they sighed. It was just as they had thought; comparisons are odious.

They really couldn't compare themselves to a Prodigy like Ye Qing.

However, they hadn't come in empty-handed this time. They had found so many bones of powerful King-level Exotic Beasts, which they could transport out together. Just as Old Jing had said before, they could place these bones outside the city gates of the Barrier to serve as guardians for the city.

Hmm.

It had to be said, Old Jing could sometimes come up with some good ideas.
