Chapter 3154: The Qilins of Black and White
It made Jian Chen realise that there were extremely terrifying Xuanhuang beasts guarding this land of Yin and Yang.
It was exactly because of them that no Xuanhuang beasts dared to set foot in this flat area.
“Master, we can sense Supreme Yin Qi and Supreme Yang Qi!” Zi Ying and Qing Suo’s figures appeared above Jian Chen’s head, staring straight at the mountain range. They were very excited.
“What pure Supreme Yin Qi. Supreme Yin Qi that pure is simply far too rare,” Qing Suo murmured. She desired every last bit of it as her eyes burned fervently.
Jian Chen could clearly sense the sword spirits’ response. He blanked out slightly. “Zi Ying, Qing Suo, will this land of Yin and Yang be of great help to you?”
“Master, if we absorb the Supreme Yin Qi and the Supreme Yang Qi in this land of Yin and Yang, our strength will recover by a great chunk in an extremely short period,” Zi Ying said, unable to hide his excitement.
Over the years, Qing Suo and his power had been constantly recovering, but it was far too slow.
However, if they absorbed the Yin and Yang Qi here, the situation would be completely different.
Very soon, Zi Ying calmed down.He furrowed his brows and said sternly, “Extremely powerful Xuanhuang beasts guard the land of Yin and Yang up ahead. We stand no chance.”
“Let me take a look first!”
Jian Chen made Shangguan Mu’er wait where they were before erasing all of his presence and moving through the deathly-still plains that resembled a death zone, silently approaching the mountain range.
He basically stuck to the ground, becoming more and more cautious the closer he got.
He understood extremely well that once he was exposed before such powerful Xuanhuang beasts, it would definitely be certain doom.
Even when he had already reached the sixteenth layer with the Chaotic Body, it made no difference.
Simply from the presence they gave off, he knew that these Xuanhuang beasts were much more powerful than the dragon turtle.
The dragon turtle was an early Grand Prime at most, while the Xuanhuang beasts guarding the mountain range were mid Grand Primes at the very least!
Before mid Grand Primes, Jian Chen did not even possess the ability to flee in the Xuanhuang Microcosm.
Jian Chen crossed over a few mountains cautiously before finally arriving at the central region of the land of Yin and Yang.
That was the boundary between the yin part and the yang part of this mountain range!
Before him was a basin completely surrounded by the mountains. The entire basin seemed like a colossal yin and yang diagram. The black and white melded together, each with an eye of the opposite colour.
These eyes were like two deep wells. Intense Supreme Yin Qi and Supreme Yang Qi surged out from them.
Beside the black and white eyes lay a Xuanhuang beast each. Their colour differed dramatically from other Xuanhuang beasts.
The Xuanhuang beasts that grew in the Xuanhuang Microcosm were primarily yellow, matching the colour of this world.
However, out of the two Xuanhuang beasts before him, one was black and the other was white. They stood out.
Currently, they each crouched beside a well and slept away, producing resounding snores. The Supreme Yin Qi and Supreme Yang Qi surging out from the eyes were primarily absorbed by them. Only a very, very small portion escaped.
Jian Chen studied the two Xuanhuang beasts before him. He discovered that the two seemed exactly the same, and they bore a great resemblance to qilins.
In the basin surrounded by mountains, there was nothing else apart from the two eyes that emitted Supreme Yin Qi and Supreme Yang Qi.
Jian Chen hid carefully on the top of a mountain in the distance, almost becoming part of the mountain. He held his breath.
The pressure that the two qilins gave off was so great that it left him shuddering as chills ran down his spine.
He secretly felt glad that these Xuanhuang beasts did not possess intelligence or origin souls. Otherwise, if they had been a Grand Prime expert of similar strength, he would have been discovered a long time ago.
Jian Chen observed the basin carefully before silently backing away.
Soon afterwards, he left the mountain range and reunited with Shangguan Mu’er.
“There’s not just one. Instead, there are two of them. Both Xuanhuang beasts are very powerful. We stand no chance,” Jian Chen said sternly. The two qilins were not dragon turtles after all. The dragon turtle bore some characteristics of dragons, which he could abuse through Dragon Intoxication pills.
However, Jian Chen was truly out of ideas against these qilins.
“There’s only one choice ahead of me if I want to obtain the Supreme Yin Qi and Supreme Yang Qi, which is to find senior Mo Tianyun and the Rain Abbess.” Jian Chen sighed gently. Despite all the time Zi Ying and Qing Suo had accompanied him, he found very few items that were particularly beneficial to them.
Now that he had finally encountered an opportunity for the sword spirits to recover a great chunk of their strength, he obviously would not pass on it.
Once he passed on an opportunity like this, he would probably struggle to come across another in the future.
“Let’s go, Mu’er. Let’s continue searching for the Sovereign Fruit of the Dragon God. Once we come across senior Mo Tianyun and the Rain Abbess again, I’ll set aside my sense of shame and ask them.”
Jian Chen could only dismiss the land of Yin and Yang from his mind temporarily, continuing moving around in the depths with Shangguan Mu’er, searching for the Sovereign Fruit of the Dragon God while gathering other heavenly resources.
However, the God Tier heavenly resources in the inner world were not as abundant as the common resources available in the outer world. As a result, despite having quite a bountiful harvest, the God Tier heavenly resources they had collected were simply not as numerous as the common resources from the outer world.
However, Jian Chen still felt extremely satisfied. He believed that this was a great harvest, as heavenly resources of higher qualities were even more startling in value. They were also far more precious.
In the blink of an eye, it had already been a few months since Jian Chen discovered the land and Yin and Yang.
At this moment, deafening booms erupted from a mountain range. The powerful shock waves of energy surged through the trees and mountains, shattering them one by one.
Jian Chen was bloodied, locked in an intense battle against a Xuanhuang beast that resembled a qiongqi.
The qiongqi-shaped Xuanhuang beast had already reached the Ninth Heavenly Layer of Chaotic Prime in strength!
Jian Chen had completely lost the upper hand. No, he did not just lose the upper hand. He was basically incapable of fighting back at all!
The qiongqi was far too powerful, far beyond anything that Jian Chen could deal with right now. As they fought, the qiongqi was completely unscathed, while Jian Chen had become utterly bloodied, sustaining unimaginable injuries. Not only were his organs completely destroyed, but he even had multiple bone fractures.
He completely relied on the Chaotic Body to hold on, keeping the qiongqi busy!
Elsewhere, Shangguan Mu’er was absolutely anxious as well. She picked nine high grade God Tier fruits growing on a tree as quickly as she could before rushing off into the distance without even looking back.
“Retreat, Jian Chen!”
“You go first, Mu’er! We’ll rendezvous at the place of Yin and Yang. I’ll hold on for a little longer!” Jian Chen roared out, using all of his strength to keep the qiongqi busy.
The qiongqi was a Ninth Heavenly Layer Chaotic Prime after all. It moved extremely quickly. He needed to keep it busy for a good while, or it would catch up to Shangguan Mu’er rapidly.
But at this very moment, surging might suddenly appeared. A colossal hand completely condensed from energy descended from above. It arrived with a terrifying pressure that even caused Jian Chen chills, slamming the qiongqi into the ground instantly.
Boom!
With the violent rumble, the entire ground rocked. A great pit appeared before Jian Chen. The qiongqi that had taken him all of his strength at a great cost to keep busy had been crushed into minced meat instantly.
