256: Xianyuan Crystal! Ye Chen strikes again! Get Ye Chen to join the team!

Passing through the mud wall, there was another massive cavern!

However, this cavern didn't have as many entrances as the previous one.

On the cavern walls, portals were arranged in an orderly fashion, and even though they were tightly shut, one could still feel an aura of mystery.

"There are Restrictions on the portals!"

Gu Sanqian was completely out of ideas and could only look at Su Shengyuan.

Su Shengyuan stroked his chin and chuckled, "How about you go back? I'll take all the Immortal Origin."

Gu Sanqian: "..."

No longer teasing him, Su Shengyuan injected the Origin runes of the Void Book into one of the portals.

Instantly, the portal glowed brightly, and an even richer Immortal Qi surged out from within.

Just a single breath of it could make one feel refreshed, as if they had been baptized by the Heavenly Dao.

"It's Immortal Origin..." Excitement gleamed in Gu Sanqian's eyes.

With such rich Immortal Qi, it was hard to imagine how much Immortal Origin lay behind the portal.

Su Shengyuan waved his hand, and the portal opened!

In an instant, dazzling light burst forth, and wondrous runes submitted within it.

Su Shengyuan, with his hands behind his back, stepped through the portal.

Beyond the portal lay a large lake.

The lake was not filled with clear water, but with extremely rich Immortal Origin.

Su Shengyuan opened his palm, and a portal suddenly manifested above the great lake.

A massive suction force emerged, like a whale swallowing, and the Immortal Origin in the lake immediately transformed into streams of Dragon, being sucked into the Yuan Realm.

"Hm? You are..."

Gu Sanqian was stunned, his eyes filled with astonishment, upon seeing the portal Su Shengyuan had suddenly summoned.

He actually felt the power of a world from that portal!

Could it be that the portal led to another world?

Su Shengyuan, however, did not explain, nor was he afraid of Gu Sanqian's greed.

After collecting all the Immortal Origin from the great lake into the Yuan Realm, Su Shengyuan seemed to have made a new discovery.

He looked at the shining crystals embedded in the lakebed, feeling a bit curious.

"It's Immortal Origin crystals! My heavens! This Azure Dragon Daoist is too damn rich, isn't he? He even has Immortal Origin crystals."

Gu Sanqian's eyes immediately gleamed with gold!

He even had the thought of making a move against Su Shengyuan.

In the Three Thousand Divine Continents, there were many places with Immortal Origin, but Immortal Origin crystals were extremely rare.

It could be said that Immortal Origin crystals were the essence of concentrated Immortal Origin.

A palm-sized Immortal Origin crystal was more valuable than all the Immortal Origin Su Shengyuan had just collected into the Yuan Realm.

Su Shengyuan naturally understood this, and with a flick of his sleeve, the many Immortal Origin crystals were collected into his spatial storage.

"Uh..."

Gu Sanqian looked at the suddenly vanished Immortal Origin crystals, trying hard to suppress the hint of greed in his heart.

Su Shengyuan looked at the change in Gu Sanqian's eyes and chuckled, "You'll find this to be the most correct choice you've ever made."

Gu Sanqian knew what Su Shengyuan meant and shook his head with a smile, "I've read Saintly Paragon books since childhood; I can't do such a thing."

"..."

As he exited this space, Su Shengyuan thought for a moment and then exchanged for a Supreme Illusion Array Talisman from the Heavenly Mandate Shop.

As the Illusion Array Talisman fell into the lakebed!

The vanished Immortal Origin reappeared in the lake, looking exactly as it had before.

Gu Sanqian was completely stunned and gave Su Shengyuan a thumbs-up.

"Ancient Brother, I'm impressed!"

Afterward, Su Shengyuan and the other person repeated the process, collecting all the Immortal Origin behind every portal in the cavern into their possession.

"Let's go, it's all gone!"

Su Shengyuan, with his hands behind his back, exited.

As soon as the two returned to the small courtyard, the white mist began to dissipate.

It was clear that the Azure Dragon Daoist had finished brewing the Immortal Origin.

The time was exactly one hour!

Inside the courtyard!

Gu Sanqian rubbed his hands, "Ancient Brother, can we... *cough cough*, you know!"

It was time to split the spoils!

Su Shengyuan looked at this scholar who had read Saintly Paragon books, finding him somewhat amusing, and casually tossed him a few Immortal Origin crystals.

"Thank you!"

Gu Sanqian, seeing that Su Shengyuan had given him Immortal Origin crystals, quickly thanked him excitedly.

In the Three Thousand Divine Continents, one could Cultivate without Immortal Origin, but Immortal Origin, a special product, was currently the closest thing to an Immortal.

With Immortal Origin assistance, Cultivating would yield twice the results with half the effort.

"Ancient Brother, shall we withdraw?"

Gu Sanqian put away the Immortal Origin crystals and asked.

Unbeknownst to him, he had come to regard Su Shengyuan as his leader.

Su Shengyuan shook his head, "Ancient Brother, do you want to go for something big?"

Are you kidding? How could the heavenly villain's things be so easily taken?

If he didn't skin you alive, how could he let you go?

Gu Sanqian raised an eyebrow, "Ancient Brother, do you intend to scheme for that Immortal Treasure? We are only in the Saint Realm, how can we contend with a Venerable?"

"I'll draw the fire, and you steal the treasure. Once we get our hands on the treasure, we can share it. Don't you want to have an inexhaustible supply of Immortal Origin, Ancient Brother?"

Su Shengyuan tempted him!

Upon hearing this, Gu Sanqian was immediately moved, and finally brought out the ruthlessness of a scholar, "Let's do it!"

Su Shengyuan: "..."

As for who would tank the damage and who would provide support, only Su Shengyuan knew that.

Moreover!

Su Shengyuan's scheme wasn't just about dragging Gu Sanqian in.

There was also a scapegoat!

Outside the Azure Dragon Temple!

Ye Chen, who had escaped the pursuit of the black-robed Daoist, stood there with a gloomy expression, looking somewhat disheveled.

"Damn it, was it a coincidence? Or did that Su Family Young Master do it on purpose?"

Several times in a row, he had taken the blame for Su Shengyuan!

This made Ye Chen somewhat angry.

However, for the secret treasure that Su Shengyuan would obtain in the Tian Gu Gold Palace in the future, he endured it.

"Who are you? Damn it, standing at the entrance so early in the morning."

The sky was just getting light, and the Daoist boy had just opened the wooden door when he saw Ye Chen standing at the entrance.

"I have come to become a Disciple! But the journey was long, and I missed the Disciple acceptance ceremony..."

Ye Chen directly pulled out a bottle of Immortal Origin and shoved it into the Daoist boy's hand.

The Daoist boy immediately laughed heartily, "Junior Brother, what are you saying? Didn't you already become a Disciple yesterday? You went down the mountain last night to visit a brothel."

Ye Chen: "..."

Perhaps this was what it meant to have money make the world go round!

But this excuse... brothel?

I, a dignified Devil Emperor, you...

Ye Chen suppressed the urge to slap the Daoist boy to death and then walked into the front courtyard.

"Courtyard number three in the back, that's where you'll stay. Don't wander around, and await Master's summons."

The Daoist boy arranged a place for Ye Chen.

Ye Chen thanked him and walked towards the back courtyard.

And the Daoist boy, looking at Ye Chen's retreating figure, smiled, "What perfect Materials, just like those two."

At this moment, the Daoist boy's voice was like that of the Azure Dragon Daoist!

Ye Chen found Courtyard number three and pushed the door open directly.

Instantly, he froze.

Damn!

Enemies on a narrow road!

The Su Family Young Master actually lived in Courtyard number three as well.

Su Shengyuan, however, showed no surprise. If Ye Chen had a secret art to track him, he naturally had a secret art to pinpoint Ye Chen's location.

"It's actually you, haha, good brother, you're amazing! You managed to escape the pursuit of the Demon-Slaying Temple Venerable."

Su Shengyuan got up and pulled the stunned Ye Chen into the courtyard.

Ye Chen finally came back to his senses, a strange sense of relief in his heart.

"So he didn't discover that I was following him. I guess the previous incidents were all coincidences."

"Heh heh, Su Family Young Master? Is that all? Trash!"

Ye Chen thought this to himself, but his expression remained calm, "Brother, you've really put me through a lot. To escape the pursuit, I didn't hesitate to waste many life-saving trump cards."

Gu Sanqian looked at the two who seemed very enthusiastic but also strangely peculiar, and asked, "Do you two know each other?"

"No!"

Su Shengyuan and Ye Chen said in unison.

Then Su Shengyuan briefly explained his encounter with Ye Chen.

Gu Sanqian immediately showed a strange look.

Coincidence?

Only a ghost would believe you!

Ever since he witnessed Su Shengyuan's methods, Gu Sanqian had labeled Su Shengyuan as cunning.

Su Shengyuan said, "Brother Ye, you've come at just the right time. Brother Ancient Brother and I are planning to acquire a secret treasure. Would you like to join? If Brother Ye joins, we might achieve twice the results with half the effort!"

"Oh? A secret treasure?"

Ye Chen immediately became interested!

He knew that Su Shengyuan's trip to the Luo Tian Secret Realm this time would be fruitful, and it was also the beginning of Su Shengyuan's rise in the Three Thousand Divine Continents.

So Ye Chen didn't mind planning ahead!

...

Three days passed like this!

The Azure Dragon Daoist did not impart any precious arts to these new Disciples, nor did anyone come to disturb them.

Another seven days passed!

Su Shengyuan discovered that apart from the three of them, all the other newly admitted Disciples had disappeared, presumably having become the Materials for brewing Immortal Origin.

That night!

White mist once again enveloped the Azure Dragon Temple.

The Azure Dragon Daoist, carrying a lantern, walked through the white mist and soon arrived at Courtyard number three.

"Three perfect and flawless Materials. After refining them, this Daoist will succeed!"

Entering the room!

He picked up Su Shengyuan and the other two, then walked towards the back mountain.

The Puppets appeared, guarding the surroundings.

The lantern transformed into a portal, and the Azure Dragon Daoist, carrying the three, entered the portal.

Standing in the massive cavern!

The Azure Dragon Daoist cast out runes, and the entire cavern was instantly illuminated by them.

The next second, all the runes, as if summoned by something, all merged into the ground.

Rumble...

A tunnel leading underground appeared, bottomless and pitch black.

The Azure Dragon Daoist, carrying Su Shengyuan and the other two, walked down the tunnel with practiced ease.

Before long, they reached the end!

A colossal bronze gate stood there, engraved with numerous patterns of Immortals.

The Azure Dragon Daoist once again cast out runes.

The bronze giant gate rumbled, slowly opening!

Entering it, there stood a massive three-legged Immortal Cauldron, engraved with numerous secret arts such as Yin and Yang, Eight Trigrams, and Qiankun.

White flames had already risen within the Immortal Cauldron!

The Azure Dragon Daoist sat on a futon in front of the Immortal Cauldron, forming hand seals and casting out secret arts.

Boom!

The flames within the Immortal Cauldron surged, and the Azure Dragon Daoist began to control the fire!

When the flames were almost under control, the Azure Dragon Daoist looked at the unconscious Su Shengyuan and the other two.

"Who should I start with..."

After choosing, the Azure Dragon Daoist finally set his gaze on Ye Chen.

"I'll start with you. Your Luck seems to be the most terrifying, and also the most difficult to refine."

Ye Chen: "..."

Just as the Azure Dragon Daoist reached out to grab Ye Chen.

Ye Chen suddenly opened his eyes, "Kill!"

Boom!

Terrifying light erupted from Ye Chen's fist, and an indescribable pressure descended, instantly blasting the Azure Dragon Daoist away, sending him crashing heavily against the stone cave wall.

"How are you not unconscious!"

The Azure Dragon Daoist was not injured. He stood up, his face grim.

Ye Chen roared, "Brothers, kill!"

However!

Su Shengyuan and Gu Sanqian lay on the ground motionless, like dead men.

Ye Chen: "?"

What happened to the plan of taking down the Azure Dragon Daoist together?

"No wonder you possess great Luck; turns out you have some ability. But this is as far as you go."

The Azure Dragon Daoist stepped forward, and with a casual wave, Laws emerged, forming a vast ocean that swept towards Ye Chen.

Ye Chen's Realm was too far below the Azure Dragon Daoist's, so he could only resist with secret arts from his previous life.

A roaring sound echoed, and this stone cave immediately shattered into pieces, turning into dust.

And this Void Realm, under the terrifying power, also crumbled inch by inch, and the few people appeared on the open ground of the back mountain.

Ye Chen, holding a divine sword, stood in the Void Realm, coldly looking at the Azure Dragon Daoist who stood opposite him.

At this moment, he finally knew that he had been tricked by Su Shengyuan again!

But at this moment!

Su Shengyuan's voice suddenly rang out!

"Look out for the hidden weapon!"

Su Shengyuan suddenly picked up Gu Sanqian, who was still feigning death, and threw him directly at the Azure Dragon Daoist.

Gu Sanqian: "??"

A million mud horses galloped through his mind!
