It must be said that at this moment, Ye Xuan truly felt a sense of helplessness!
His intuition told him that chaos was about to erupt!
Heavenly Dao Realm?
That might soon become the weaker side!
Thinking of this, Ye Xuan quickly took out the Ancient Battle Body manual. After studying it for a moment, he said: “I need to cultivate the Ancient Battle Body!”
With that, he turned and left!
Not long after Ye Xuan departed, a middle-aged man appeared in the area, staring at Ye Xuan’s retreating figure with icy eyes, lost in thought.
…
After returning to the Land of Rebellion, Ye Xuan immediately summoned An You!
Ye Xuan opened his palm, and a list appeared before An You. “I need these heavenly treasures!”
An You glanced at the list and said: “I’ll notify the others immediately!”
With that, he took the list and vanished!
In the hall, Ye Xuan remained silent!
To cultivate the Ancient Battle Body, he naturally needed some rare treasures to assist. Ye Xuan was a bit worried because some of these treasures were ones he had never even heard of!
If even the Immortal Treasure Pavilion couldn’t find them, things could get troublesome!
As if struck by a thought, Ye Xuan opened his palm, and the Ancient Spring given by Gu appeared in his hand—a small fountain with ink-green water flowing inside!
The Ancient Spring!
Ye Xuan examined the spring, then directly activated it!
Boom!
In an instant, the spring trembled violently!
Seeing this, Ye Xuan’s expression changed drastically. He quickly brought the spring into the small pagoda. Just as he entered, the spring shook fiercely, and countless streams of water poured out, turning the area around Ye Xuan into a pool in no time!
Ye Xuan stepped back, looking at the spring with shock. He discovered that the water contained an extremely terrifying energy!
He recalled Gu’s words: this spring was the source of all power in ancient times, endless and infinite!
The source of power?
Ye Xuan hesitated, then leaned closer to the spring. He sniffed it, hesitated for a moment, and then took a sip!
Boom!
The moment he drank, a terrifying energy erupted within his body!
Ye Xuan was startled and quickly checked his body. He found that his body was frantically absorbing the pure energy!
Seeing this, Ye Xuan grew excited!
This stuff was way better than any law energy!
It was like a supreme tonic!
Just then, Ye Xuan suddenly left the pagoda. As soon as he did, his brows furrowed. Standing before him was a little girl!
It was Gu!
Ye Xuan looked at her. “It’s you!”
Gu blinked. “It’s me!”
Ye Xuan said solemnly: “Why are you following me?”
Gu smiled. “I’m here to guide you in cultivating the Ancient Battle Body and using the Ancient Spring!”
Ye Xuan glanced at her. “You’re free now!”
Gu smiled. “I know! So, don’t worry. I’m following you with no ulterior motives, really!”
Ye Xuan fell silent.
Gu smiled faintly. “The Ancient Battle Body is the top battle body of ancient times. It’s not easy to cultivate! Without guidance, you’ll take many detours. The same goes for the Ancient Spring!”
Ye Xuan said solemnly: “What do you want from me?”
Gu smiled. “Don’t worry, I really have no ill intentions toward you. After all, we have no grudges, right?”
Ye Xuan smiled. “Alright then! I’ll trouble you to guide me!”
Gu’s lips curved slightly. “No need to be polite!”
Ye Xuan brought Gu into the pagoda. Upon entering, she glanced around and smiled. “Interesting!”
Then she looked at Ye Xuan. “The time in this place, was it altered by your sister?”
Ye Xuan nodded. “Yes!”
Gu nodded. “Impressive!”
Ye Xuan led Gu to the Ancient Spring. “Can you tell me more about this spring?”
Gu smiled. “This Ancient Spring was the source of all power in ancient times. In other words, it was originally vast, emanating the ancient aura of that era. Back then, all cultivators cultivated ancient aura, just as many in this era cultivate mysterious aura! But over time, the Ancient Spring dwindled…”
She pointed at the spring before them. “And eventually, it became this small!”
Ye Xuan said solemnly: “It used to be much larger?”
Gu nodded. “Very, very much!”
Ye Xuan asked: “Can this Ancient Spring be absorbed directly?”
Gu smiled. “Of course! You should know, this spring is extremely pure. Absorbing it directly has many benefits! However, without a cultivation method, absorbing it like this is a bit wasteful!”
Ye Xuan asked: “Cultivation method?”
Gu smiled faintly. “Yes! But don’t worry, I have one!”
With that, she opened her palm, and an ancient scroll slowly floated to Ye Xuan. “The Ancient Scripture, the highest-level cultivation method of ancient times. With this, you can cultivate Ancient Divine Power within your body!”
Ye Xuan looked at Gu. “Your cultivation system is different from the Master of the Great Dao Pen’s!”
Gu smiled. “A bit different! But all paths lead to the same destination. There’s no big difference!”
Ye Xuan fell silent.
Gu added: “If you cultivate Ancient Divine Power now, it will greatly help you cultivate the Ancient Battle Body later!”
Ye Xuan nodded slightly. “Good!”
With that, he sat cross-legged and opened the Ancient Scripture. As soon as he did, a white light shot into his forehead!
Boom!
Countless pieces of information flooded his mind!
After a long time, Ye Xuan began to slowly operate the Ancient Scripture. At that moment, the Ancient Spring trembled, and streams of water began surging toward him!
Then, Gu gently waved her right hand, and Ye Xuan was moved directly into the spring.
As he entered, the entire spring boiled, and countless streams rushed toward him!
Ye Xuan’s body began frantically absorbing the incoming water!
Unbeknownst to Ye Xuan, as the water poured in, the spiritual energy around the pagoda began to vanish bit by bit!
After an unknown amount of time, a terrifying aura suddenly radiated from Ye Xuan!
He abruptly opened his eyes, stood up, and clenched his right fist. A powerful force surged from his hand!
Boom!
In an instant, the space in front of Ye Xuan shattered!
Ye Xuan was shocked. “This…”
Gu smiled from the side. “Ancient Divine Power! Your combat strength has increased several times over!”
Ye Xuan looked at Gu, who added: “This power is your own, not some external force. Of course, if you want more of it, you need to absorb more of the Ancient Spring!”
Ye Xuan turned to look at the spring, then said solemnly: “This spring is endless?”
Gu blinked. “In theory, yes!”
Ye Xuan frowned. “In theory?”
Gu thought for a moment, then said: “No energy is truly endless! This Ancient Spring is no exception! However, it has a special ability: it can devour other energies and convert them! While you were absorbing the spring, it was also absorbing the spiritual energy of this place, converting it into energy!”
She looked at Ye Xuan. “In fact, it’s no different from your normal cultivation. The only difference is that this spring can convert the energy of this world into a more powerful form.”
Ye Xuan said solemnly: “So, this spring can devour the energy of this world?”
Gu nodded. “Yes!”
Ye Xuan turned to the spring, his heart filled with shock!
At that moment, the small pagoda suddenly spoke: “Young Master, this thing isn’t as simple as she says! When it absorbed the spiritual energy here, it wasn’t just surface energy—it took the origin of this place, like the dragon vein origin, all absorbed!”
Origin!
Ye Xuan looked at Gu, who smiled. “It’s right! That’s exactly it! That’s what makes this Ancient Spring so extraordinary!”
Ye Xuan fell silent.
Gu looked at him. “Don’t overthink it! For us cultivators, from the moment we step onto the path of cultivation, we’re defying the heavens, seizing the world’s fortune, and competing with the world for benefits! Even if you don’t use the Ancient Spring, your cultivation still harms this world!”
Ye Xuan said calmly: “Don’t worry, I’m not that saintly!”
Gu smiled. “You now have Ancient Divine Power, and your combat strength has increased several times over! But there’s a small hidden risk!”
Ye Xuan frowned. “A risk?”
Gu nodded. “Yes! Ancient Divine Power and the Ancient Spring are acts of defying the heavens, not tolerated by this world, so…”
She shook her head with a smile. “But for you, it’s not a big issue! After all, even the Master of the Great Dao Pen can’t beat your sister!”
Ye Xuan walked up to Gu, looking at her. “I’m a bit curious. Why were you imprisoned by the Master of the Great Dao Pen?”
Gu shook her head with a smile. “Different stances, that’s all!”
Ye Xuan fell silent.
At that moment, An You suddenly appeared. He said solemnly: “Young Master Ye, we couldn’t find two materials!”
Ye Xuan’s heart sank. “Which ones?”
An You took out the list Ye Xuan gave him and said: “The Ancient Saint Fruit and the Yin-Yang Spring!”
Ye Xuan turned to Gu, who thought for a moment, then said: “It’s normal they couldn’t find them. These are extremely rare even in ancient times, let alone now! But…”
She paused, then smiled. “I know where to find them!”
Ye Xuan asked: “Where?”
Gu said: “The Ancient Heavenly Domain! The ancient era has vanished into history, but the Ancient Heavenly Domain still exists. Let’s go there!”
Ye Xuan looked directly at Gu. “You want me to go with you to the Ancient Heavenly Domain!”
Gu smiled. “You’re the one who needs to cultivate, not me!”
Ye Xuan thought for a moment, then said: “Actually, you could be more straightforward. I think we can cooperate in many ways!”
Gu nodded. “I do want to go to the Ancient Heavenly Domain. There are things I want there, and things you want too!”
Ye Xuan said solemnly: “Is it dangerous?”
Gu blinked. “If you bring your sister, I think there’s no danger at all! We could walk sideways!”
Ye Xuan said solemnly: “And if I don’t?”
Gu smiled. “We’d be lying down!”
Ye Xuan: “…”
