291: Blood and Qi Grand Canyon

One hundred thousand crystal coins.

At that moment, Ye Su was truly dazzled.

You can imagine: Great Xia had emptied its coffers just to scrape together about two hundred crystal coins to bolster Ye Su's foundation.

I opened my mouth wide and bit off a chunk of one hundred thousand.

Impressive.

However.

On the scale of the Universe.

Facing these Great Clans, one hundred thousand is practically pocket change!

“There will always be a chance, Lu Yiyi!”

Ye Su thought to himself, gritting his teeth.

He began to mentally prepare himself; the next time there was a chance, he would definitely make Lu Yiyi bleed!

“But for now, it really is suitable to get a Soul defense method to prevent issues in the Great Canyon.”

Ten Great Heavenly Stones.

Highly valuable.

Far exceeding these one hundred thousand crystal coins.

Ye Su was no miser; this money was being spent on himself, making it worth every coin.

And so.

He directly began searching the inner field for things like Secret Techniques for Soul defense.

‘Rank 8 Soul defense Secret Technique, Heart Zen Meditation?’

Ye Su’s whole body stumbled.

Wait.

Heart Zen Meditation—didn't he already know it?

But that was opened from a treasure chest, and was roughly around a Rank 2 Skill.

‘As expected, certain Skills in treasure chests correspond to some Secret Techniques in the Universe.’

‘It's just, has it been pushed to such a high Rank?’

Back on Blue Star, Li Dehai's Martial Arts talent was explosive, and he was constantly deducing Martial Arts.

But regarding Soul-related talent, although they were filtering for it, they were ultimately not like the Soul Spirit Clan, who possessed innate talent.

It was very difficult for Great Xia to advance Soul-type Cultivation Techniques and Skills.

‘Never mind for now, I'll just buy it.’

‘If I can fully master it, perhaps the advancement of Soul Cultivation Techniques and Secret Techniques will have to depend on me.’

50,000 gold coins.

Ye Su bought the Heart Zen Meditation.

A massive amount of information flooded into his mind.

He already knew it, but this was an advanced version; Ye Su gained some insights immediately.

However, it would still take time to completely digest it.

Meanwhile, the two of them had already arrived at the edge of the canyon.

Buzz—it was as if a ripple had directly spread out.

Gong Li collapsed directly onto the ground.

“Damn... a Soul attack with a strength of 22?”

Ye Su was also startled for a moment.

Fortunately, his Heart Zen Meditation had already reached the Rank 5 level; with the Heavenly Will bonus, it was 35 points.

No problem at all.

However, it was very forced for Gong Li.

He stood up unsteadily;

“Just a bit more...”

He said with lingering fear.

“Wait, you almost went down at 22 points, are you still going?”

Ye Su said speechlessly.

Gong Li's face flushed slightly;

“I wasn't prepared.”

The edge of the canyon was like this; Soul shocks came wave after wave.

Without being prepared, it was normal to be dazed by a strike.

“The surface shocks reach a maximum of 27; it will only get stronger after going deeper.”

Ye Su said;

“You're pushing it too hard.”

“You'll die.”

Gong Li bit his teeth.

The divine blood heavenly stone was too important to him; he had to take the risk, no matter how great.

“Ye Su, oh Ye Su, can I fully trust you?”

“What do you mean?”

“I have a secret method that allows me to hang onto you, so—”

“Wearing clothes?”

Ye Su was startled.

He had ‘worn’ clothes before.

It was back then during the state of Unity of Heaven and Man, when he directly wore Cui Hu's clothes, allowing him to use Cui Hu's abilities.

But this kind of behavior was extremely dangerous; there was a possibility of Possession.

“What wearing clothes?” Gong Li was confused;

“What I mean is, I will perform a Soul Emergence and rely on your defense to survive.”

“In this state, my life and death will be in your hands.”

Ye Su thought for a moment.

The method of ‘wearing’ clothes was too far beyond the norm.

It required being on Blue Star, absolute trust between everyone, the Unity of Heaven and Man, and the cooperation of the blue star will.

And Gong Li... what he was using shouldn't be that kind of method.

“You can try... but let me say this beforehand: once I feel my secrets are being probed, or if I feel danger, I cannot guarantee my level of composure.”

Ye Su said.

Only if Gong Li went in with him would he have a chance of finding the heavenly stone.

Without him, with just his own store of common knowledge, it would be difficult to gain anything.

“Good!”

Gong Li was clearly going all-in.

As long as there was a heavenly stone, he really dared to do it.

After all, if he didn't get the heavenly stone, he simply wouldn't be able to rise.

Being unable to rise was not much different from being dead to him!

The competition within the Great Clans was even more cruel than Ye Su imagined!

The two found a hidden spot.

And dug out a large pit.

Gong Li buried himself inside.

Finally, he performed the secret method.

Soul Emergence.

He directly attached himself to Ye Su's body.

“This—”

Ye Su was startled for a moment, then immediately nodded.

So it's this kind of attachment!

It was a very miraculous secret method, allowing one's Soul to shrink within another's Soul defense circle, cautiously sharing their Soul defense.

As for Possession—Ye Su felt as if he had an extra accessory on him.

With just a single thought;

“Hey, hey, hey—don't, don't...”

“If you even have a single thought, I'll be blasted out by you!”

“Your Soul strength is high; without a physical body, I would be directly killed by you.”

Gong Li hurriedly shouted.

He felt the fluctuations of Ye Su's Soul Power.

The two of them currently had absolutely no equal status; with a single thought from Ye Su, this accessory would explode.

No wonder Gong Li asked if he could fully trust Ye Su.

He was handing his life over to someone else.

“Man, you really are bold!”

Ye Su said after feeling this state.

In the Universe, this kind of operation was simply Heaven-Defying.

After all, the values of the Universe were quite shattered.

People would sell half their lives to you.

Giving someone else the initiative, how was that different from delivering yourself to death?

“I had no choice; I'm betting that you're a good person from the Mutated Planet who hasn't been completely corrupted by the Universe yet.”

Gong Li said.

If he hadn't known Ye Su was a Genius nurtured by the cataclysm on the Mutated Planet, he really wouldn't have dared to do this.

“Aren't you just bullying an honest man!”

Ye Su laughed;

“Quick, start giving directions, I'm going down.”

“Hmm? Not waiting a bit longer before going down? The Soul shock intensity will be even higher in a moment!”

“No need!”

Ye Su said.

Little Ye Su was constantly adapting to the new version of Heart Zen Meditation.

With a Skill as high as Rank 8, once fully mastered, Ye Su's Soul defense would be extremely exaggerated.

56 points!

An off-the-charts and Heaven-Defying existence in the Ruined World!

“Alright, then I'll start giving directions.”

Gong Li said.

He then pointed in a direction;

“Where the blood qi is thickest, head in that direction.”

“Good!”

Ye Su lowered his head and charged straight down into the canyon.

“Holy crap, this...”

“So fierce?”

“How much Soul defense does he have to dare to charge like that!”

“Not even waiting for the safety window?”

“Impressive!”

“He must be from the Ghost Clan.”

---There were quite a few people around the canyon.

They were all waiting for the safety window.

Exploring during the safety window and coming back up when the danger period arrived; by exploring wave after wave, they might gain something!

Someone like Ye Su, who charged straight down against the danger period.

Was truly rare to see.
