581: Chapter 581

Qin Yun stood where he was, not moving recklessly.

To the left was Extreme Yin.

To the right was Extreme Yang.

The two forces seemed distinct, but in reality, they were both pouring into the central Chaos zone.

That was not a natural occurrence.

It was a man-made layout.

Qin Yun already had a suspicion in his heart.

"Was your previous secret method for completing the Acquired Chaos Body also like this?"

Chen Yang fell silent for a moment.

"I did indeed research the Acquired Chaos Body back then."

"But I followed the path of collecting natural wonders, Extreme Yin divine objects, and Extreme Yang Origin, using the essence of the Great Dao to fill the gaps in the Physique."

"What I wanted was for Yin and Yang to slowly unify within my own dao foundation."

"Not capturing a group of living people and throwing them into a furnace like medicinal ingredients to be boiled."

As Chen Yang spoke to this point, his voice carried a hint of fire.

"True completion borrows from heaven and earth."

"Stacking Prodigy Physiques will only result in a monster."

"I recognize the person who set this array."

"These transitions, these habits of connecting meridians, and the techniques of suppressing Yin and elevating Yang are all the methods of that treacherous disciple."

Qin Yun's eyes darkened slightly.

"Are you sure?"

"Positive."

Chen Yang answered without the slightest hesitation.

"The one pulling the strings behind the Guanghan Heavenly Palace is him."

"There's no mistake."

"And this is definitely not the first time."

"Look at the thickness of these dao marks, and then look at the Yin and Yang Origin settled in this pocket dimension; it has been harvested for many rounds, to say the least."

"Doing it once or twice could not nurture a scale like this."

Qin Yun looked up at the slowly swirling Chaos Qi in the center of the sky.

"Is he almost finished?"

Chen Yang sneered.

"Yes."

"But being almost finished doesn't mean truly finished."

He changed the subject.

"A true Chaos Body requires Dao self-consistency, Yin and Yang unification, and Origin Perfection, where all internal power can form its own closed loop."

"What that treacherous disciple is doing now is just using Extreme Yin and Extreme Yang Physiques to force the gaps closed."

"At most, he will only produce a deformed Acquired monster."

"He will never become a true Chaos Body."

Qin Yun noted these words.

This was very important.

It meant the opponent was not invincible.

It also meant that although the person was dangerous now, they had a fatal flaw.

But all of that had to be put aside for now.

Qin Yun had no interest in caring about true or fake Chaos Bodies.

He only wanted to find Ling'er.

Qin Yun closed his eyes, trying to find her by her aura.

The result was poor.

The Yin and Yang Qi in this Chaos pocket dimension was too chaotic, surging everywhere; his perception was scattered as soon as it spread out.

Ling'er's aura was naturally Yin-leaning.

In a place like this, it was even harder to distinguish.

Chen Yang said in a low voice, "Don't waste your Divine Thought anymore; it's useless."

Qin Yun opened his eyes.

The fire in his chest tightened further.

"Go to the source first."

"If she was really swept in, she will definitely be at the place where the Legacy erupted."

Just as he finished speaking.

The entire world shook.

It wasn't a small movement.

The entire Chaos pocket dimension was shaking.

In the center of the distant sky, that originally stable mass of Chaos Qi suddenly surged upward.

Yin and Yang Qi soared into the sky.

Like two great rivers, they collided toward the middle from both sides of the world.

The roaring sounds layered upon each other.

Many Prodigies who were scattered in various places were all alerted.

Someone looked up and laughed.

"It's finally here!"

"I knew it; it's impossible for this place not to have a true Opportunity!"

Others' eyes lit up, and they rushed directly toward the source of the phenomenon.

Some spoke of caution but moved faster than anyone else.

At a time like this, everyone feared being a step too slow.

If there truly was a Legacy, being a step slow meant missing out.

Chen Yang cursed from within the ring.

"The more it looks like a proper Opportunity, the more it proves this place is improper."

Qin Yun ignored the others and flew straight toward the center.

On the way, the anomalies began.

A youth in red robes had just crossed a cliff when a pillar of crimson-gold light suddenly descended from above.

The pillar was not thick.

But it was extremely stable.

It directly enveloped him.

The youth was stunned at first, then became ecstatic.

"I've been chosen?"

"Hahahaha, it really is me!"

Several Prodigies nearby stopped for a moment, their expressions varying.

Envy, jealousy, and resentment were all present.

In another direction, a stream of deep blue light soon fell, enveloping a woman.

The woman originally had some doubts, but amidst the surrounding gasps, her suspicion was quickly washed away.

"Is this Legacy recognition?"

"Not bad; your luck has arrived."

"This place really knows how to pick people."

Chen Yang's voice was cold.

"Pick, my foot."

"This isn't recognizing a master; it's marking them."

Qin Yun's heart sank.

The so-called Legacy picking people was likely just marking sacrifices.

The further forward they went, the more this occurred.

Some were enveloped by Yin Qi.

Some were locked by Yang flows.

Beams of light fell from the Void Realm, as if calling names.

Those who were picked were more excited than the last.

Those who weren't picked began to grow anxious.

Once this emotion arose, the scene became increasingly chaotic.

Half a quarter of an hour later, Qin Yun finally reached the so-called Legacy site.

To the left was a land of Extreme Yin, a sheet of frosty white, with even the ground covered in dark blue ice patterns.

To the right was a sea of Extreme Yang fire, where even the air was warping.

In the middle was a restlessly churning Chaos vortex, like a Heaven and Earth Furnace in operation.

As soon as Qin Yun arrived, he scanned the entire field.

There were too many people here.

The auras were also too chaotic.

He didn't care at all about who obtained an Opportunity or who was making threats; he only wanted to find Ling'er.

But after scanning once, he couldn't find her.

Chen Yang was also looking.

Soon, he whispered, "It's here."

"The core of the entire setup is beneath the Sacrificial Grounds."

Just then, a piercing laugh came from the right.

"I said it before, true Opportunities only recognize true Prodigies."

Qin Yun looked to the side.

It was that Emperor Body Prodigy who had been at odds with him before.

The man stood amidst the Yang fire, a gold-white pillar of light suspended above his head, his expression arrogant.

Clearly, he had also been "chosen."

With his chin raised, he looked at Qin Yun, his face full of triumph.

"Some people made quite a scene outside earlier."

"But in the face of a true Legacy like this, it still comes down to one's foundation and fate."

"A foil is just a foil."

"No matter how much you pretend, it's useless."

Many people nearby heard this and looked toward Qin Yun.

"In a place like this, the one who eventually stands at the center will only be someone like me."

"As for you—"

He hadn't finished his sentence.

Qin Yun had already turned his head away to continue looking for Ling'er.

The Emperor Body Prodigy's expression instantly froze.

Being ignored.

He felt the frustration of throwing a punch into cotton.

Just as Qin Yun continued to scan the Sacrificial Grounds, a sudden change occurred.

Boom!

The mass of Chaos Qi in the center of the Sacrificial Grounds suddenly contracted.

In the next instant, a beam of rule light, stronger than any before it, descended from the sky and landed directly on Qin Yun.

The surroundings instantly went quiet for a beat.

Even the Emperor Body Prodigy was stunned.

Qin Yun had also been "chosen."

Moreover, this beam of light was heavier than anyone else's.

More profound.

The moment it fell, Qin Yun's chest vibrated with the impact.

The Emperor Body Prodigy was shocked at first, and then his face immediately turned ugly.

He had just been posturing as the chosen one of destiny, only for Qin Yun to be locked on as well, and with an even greater commotion.

In that moment, the looks in many people's eyes changed.

But Qin Yun couldn't spare them a thought.

Because Chen Yang had already exploded with urgency.

Chen Yang's remnant soul rushed directly out of the ring, trying to sever that connection for Qin Yun.

He couldn't break it.

The beam of rule light only flickered once before stabilizing.

Furthermore, the surrounding world seemed to be alerted, as more chain shadows rose from the bottom of the Sacrificial Grounds.

Chen Yang's face immediately sank.

"We're in trouble."

"This damn thing is using the Pseudo-immortal rules of the entire Chaos pocket dimension to lock you down!"

Qin Yun also acted at the same time.

The Immortal Sutra activated.

The Body Scripture activated.

The two Emperor Body Origins surged together.

He still couldn't completely break free.

The pressure grew heavier and heavier.

The beam of rule light pressed down along Qin Yun's shoulders, spine, and chest, as if it wanted to nail him completely into the patterns of the Sacrificial Grounds.

Any slower, and he would truly be dragged into the core and locked tight.

Qin Yun's gaze sharpened.

void book.

Immortal Wander.

In the next instant, the space Origin within Qin Yun's body shook violently.

The void book's dao rhyme unfolded.

It sliced directly into that layer of Pseudo-immortal rules.

Snap.

A very light sound.

The layer of rules pressing on him finally cracked a sliver.

But as soon as the gap opened, the entire world immediately began to self-heal.

It was too fast.

So fast it defied logic.

Chen Yang almost roared it out.

"Go!"

Qin Yun did not hesitate in the slightest.

Immortal Wander was instantly activated.

The pair of Celestial Light Wings on his back spread, and he rushed out, almost grazing the edge of that rule chain.

A fraction of a second slower, and he would have been dragged back.

Boom!

He managed to break away.

But the beam of rule light behind him also flared up, the chains sweeping wildly through the air, narrowly missing his back.

But he was out at last.

Chen Yang let out a long breath inside the ring.

"That was close."

"Truly just a hair's breadth."

Qin Yun landed at the edge of the Sacrificial Grounds, not even stopping to catch his breath, his gaze immediately scanning the crowd again.

He wasn't happy about his own escape.

He was still looking for Ling'er.

This time, he finally saw her.

Amidst the sea of people, within the intersecting flows of Yin and Yang light, at the deepest edge of that Chaos Qi, a white-clothed figure stood quietly.

It was Ling'er.

Qin Yun locked onto her instantly.

But in the next instant, the slight relief that had just risen in his heart immediately sank.

Ling'er had also been chosen.

And it was completely different from the others.

What descended upon her was not a single ordinary pillar of Yin Qi light.

But a threefold lock.

One lock on her shoulders.

One lock on her heart.

One falling directly on her forehead.

The stability of that lock was far deeper than what Qin Yun had just endured.

Chen Yang took one look, and his voice changed.

"This is bad."

"She isn't an ordinary sacrifice."

"This level of locking proves she is extremely critical to the mastermind."

Qin Yun's face truly darkened.

He stared at the white-clothed figure, his fingers tightening bit by bit.

Some people were shocked that Qin Yun would actually reject the Legacy.

But none of those voices could reach Qin Yun's ears.

He now had only one thought.

To bring Ling'er back.
