876: Chapter 865 Mo Yuan's Changes!

A few days ago, after the artifact spirit teleported Qin Yan out, it set up a trial for Saintess Qian Xi and Saint Son Chen Xun.

Both of them were the Saint and Saintess of the Temple of Time, and their talents were naturally the best of the best.

Moreover, this trial was originally set up by the artifact spirit to select new Revered Masters for the eternal palace and the eternal river scroll; the difficulty was not too high, and both of them eventually passed the trial smoothly.

However, the artifact spirit ultimately chose Saintess Qian Xi—the reason was simple: Saintess Qian Xi's strength was clearly a cut above Saint Son Chen Xun's. Having lived for who knows how many tens of thousands of years, it wouldn't misjudge who was stronger and who was weaker between the two.

Between the strong and the weak, it would naturally choose Saintess Qian Xi, this true favored daughter of heaven.

"Hmm, I will just Cultivate here," Saintess Qian Xi said.

How could she dare to go out now—what if Qin Yan hadn't gone far, or if she encountered Qin Yan again after leaving? Wouldn't she be reduced to his prisoner once more?

"Once I leave the Sea of Time, I will go find Revered Master and ask her to personally take action to remove this curse for me," Saintess Qian Xi secretly calculated in her heart.

She had once asked the artifact spirit to try and remove the Dark Enslavement curse that Qin Yan had planted inside her body, but the artifact spirit frankly admitted that its injuries over the long years were too deep to heal, and its remaining power was now scarce, leaving it powerless to help.

Saintess Qian Xi composed her mind, stopped letting her thoughts wander, and sat cross-legged on the bed made of time crystals.

She drew several dozen time crystals from the pile of crystals in the palace, causing them to float around her body.

With her Cultivation Technique running at full power, the vast Power of Time contained within those crystals was absorbed and refined by her like a trickling stream, transforming into her own Cultivation foundation.

Yet, in the deepest parts of her body that Saintess Qian Xi could not see, fine black lines like strands of hair were silently spreading, slowly eroding outward from the depths of her Soul like vines.

Every moment, they sank in a little deeper, and every day, they became a fraction more secure.

That erosion was so slow that even Saintess Qian Xi herself did not notice it, yet it was so firm that it was irreversible.

...

After leaving the sea area where the eternal palace was located, Qin Yan resumed his aimless journey of wandering through the Sea of Time.

Through the faint spiritual connection with those two Dark Enslavement runes, he could clearly sense that the enslavement runes inside Saint Son Chen Xun and Saintess Qian Xi were becoming increasingly dense and deep.

Those two runes were quietly taking root and spreading in the depths of their Souls, as if they possessed life.

They were silently eroding their will and spirit.

In the following period, Qin Yan successively killed several Time Spirits with impressive strength, once again harvesting a batch of high-quality time crystals.

However, looking at the dozens of newly added time crystals in the Blood Demon Nest, Qin Yan felt not a single ripple in his heart.

At the thought of the hundreds of thousands of time crystals piled up like mountains in the eternal palace just slipping through his fingers like this, his heart ached faintly.

That palace not only contained a massive amount of time crystals but also two Supreme treasures at the divine weapon level—the eternal river scroll and the eternal palace.

And that damned old artifact spirit had kicked him out without a word simply because he did not possess the Power of Time.

Time slipped away quietly as Qin Yan wandered alone, and soon it was September 27th.

There were only three days left before the Sea of Time closed, which meant a full thirty days in this sea area with ten times the time flow rate.

On this very day, as Qin Yan was traveling unhurriedly through the silver seawater, a violent tremor suddenly came from within his body—it was the moyuan spirit weapon beating frantically.

Feeling the current state of the moyuan spirit weapon, a look of uncontrollable ecstasy flashed in Qin Yan's eyes.

He immediately summoned the moyuan spirit weapon out of his body.

The moment the moyuan spirit weapon appeared in Qin Yan's hand, the three-colored light of the Five Elements, blood-red power, and Devilish Qi intertwined wildly on the spear's body, illuminating the surrounding silver seawater with a colorful glow.

However, this was far from over—within that three-colored light, wisps of faint, black-and-white intertwined Yin-Yang Qi silently emerged from deep within the spear's body.

Although the Yin-Yang Qi was faint, it was pure to the extreme.

Like the yin-yang fish in a Taiji diagram, it slowly circulated on the spear's body, and each rotation made the light on the spear even more dazzling.

On the spear's body, a thousand patterns were slowly circulating and flashing like a thousand swimming dragons—each pattern was fine and orderly, consistent in depth, and exuded an ancient and profound aura.

"The moyuan spirit weapon has finally advanced to a thousand-pattern spirit weapon."

Qin Yan gripped the long spear in his hand, feeling the power radiating from the spear that was countless times stronger than before, his heart filled with irrepressible excitement.

From hundred-pattern to thousand-pattern, the moyuan spirit weapon had finally crossed the threshold of this major Realm.

Qin Yan immediately sank his Mental Energy into the moyuan spirit weapon, beginning to examine one by one the various changes brought about by this advancement.

First was the Five Elements Block—this Spirit Weapon Skill he loved the most had evolved into the Yin-Yang Five Elements Block after incorporating the power of Yin and Yang.

The blocking limit had received a terrifying increase: previously, the blocking limit of the Five Elements Block only stopped at below the Grandmaster Realm.

Once an enemy's attack reached the Grandmaster Realm level, it could no longer exert a weakening effect.

But after this advancement, the blocking limit had actually increased in one go to the Great Grandmaster level.

Not only that, but the weakening effect of the block had also changed from the previous 30% to 40%!

This meant that before an enemy's full-force blow could hit him, nearly half of its power had already been stripped away.

Seeing this change, Qin Yan was incredibly excited.

The Yin-Yang Five Elements Block Spirit Weapon Skill could be said to be the existence among all his trump cards that satisfied him the most—the reason was simple: it was too Heaven-Defying.

No cooldown, no consumption, and a domineering effect; it was simply an essential divine skill for invincibility and life-saving at home or while traveling.

"With my current strength, looking across the entire Grandmaster Realm, I fear there is not a single person who can surpass me."

A look of genuine confidence appeared on Qin Yan's handsome face.

This was not arrogance, but a calm judgment based on absolute strength.

With three Supreme-level Domains, the Yin-Yang Five Elements Chaos Golden Body and the Eternal Blood Demon Golden Body, Mental Energy approaching the 600-hertz mark, and this moyuan spirit weapon in his hand that had just advanced to a thousand-pattern and possessed a 40% weakening effect, who else among the same rank could be his opponent?

And the Five Elements Xuanhuang Bell had also undergone changes after incorporating the power of Yin and Yang, evolving into the Five Elements Yin-Yang Xuanhuang Bell.

The maximum defensive limit of this defensive Spirit Weapon Skill had soared directly from the previous Grandmaster Realm to the Sovereign level.

Of course, the cooldown time remained unchanged; it could still only be used once a month.

Qin Yan was not disappointed by this; if such a Heaven-Defying defensive effect could be used indefinitely, that would be too unreasonable.

As for the Spirit Weapon Skills Blood Dark Burst and Blood Dark Tracking, they did not undergo any essential changes.
