Chapter 2193: Rootless Heavenly Spirit Milk
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu’s expression slightly changed.
Several thoughts quickly flashed through his mind.
Although he had a connection with this elder due to the Five Thunders Technique,
having been in the Heavenly Origin World for a long time, Zhou Yu knew this connection wasn’t reliable.
If he gave the wrong answer, it was quite normal for this elder to kill him.
After a quick round of thinking, Zhou Yu decided to speak the truth.
He immediately recounted how Mrs. Mu and the others controlled and forced him to enter here.
"Senior, that’s what happened."
"Junior was threatened and had no choice but to enter here."
Hearing this, the elder nodded thoughtfully.
Then, he spoke:
"Kid, you don’t need to worry that I will blame you for this."
"This place isn’t my territory; I’m just temporarily residing here."
"Therefore, no matter what you’re doing here, I won’t intervene."
"However, I’m somewhat interested in those who threatened you."
"From what you said, besides wanting the Nether Spring Essence, they probably have other aims."
"Right, right."
Zhou Yu nodded immediately.
"But they didn’t tell me their specific intentions, so I don’t know either."
Whether it was Mrs. Mu or Noble Master, they secretly asked him to help obtain another treasure after acquiring the Nether Spring Essence.
But they didn’t specify what it was, leaving Zhou Yu clueless.
The elder chuckled coldly.
"What else could they be after?"
"Those fools must be eyeing the ghost artifacts in the Ant Clan Holy Land."
"Ghost artifacts?" Zhou Yu was taken aback.
"What are they?"
"Ghost artifacts are some top-tier treasures that have been passed down from the Netherworld."
"They possess powerful Extreme Yin Power, which specifically targets cultivators’ Divine Souls. Once hit, even a Divinity Transformation expert would face dire consequences."
"They’re mostly after these ghost artifacts."
"But they don’t realize these ghost artifacts, after the Netherworld’s destruction, absorbed a vast amount of Yin Sha Qi and have long mutated."
"Some of them have even developed consciousness; if they unleash their power, even I might not be able to withstand it."
"They’re asking for their own demise by going after these ghost artifacts without knowing how they’ll perish."
"Nevertheless, they’re slightly smart to know that the Heavenly Punishment Divine Thunder can subdue ghost artifacts, hence why they coerced you into acting."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu suddenly understood.
So that’s how it is.
He also felt a chill, relieved that Ghost Master and the others encountered trouble in Earth Yin Valley; otherwise, he might really have died at the hands of those ghost artifacts with them.
At this moment, Zhou Yu suddenly thought of something.
"Senior, previously on the lake surface, I was pulled in here by a strange Yin Sha Qi."
"Could it be one of your methods, senior?"
The elder chuckled lightly:
"You could say so."
"But it’s more just your misfortune."
"That was simply a formation I casually set up."
"In normal circumstances, I never actively manipulate the formation; you must have inadvertently triggered the mechanism within the formation."
Hearing this, Zhou Yu let out a wry smile.
So that’s how it is.
It truly was bad luck.
Suddenly, Zhou Yu looked at the elder, cautiously asking:
"Senior, may I ask if you’ve reached the Mahayana Realm?"
The elder stroked his beard and casually said:
"About seven or eight thousand years ago, I stepped into the Mahayana Realm."
Hearing this, Zhou Yu gasped.
The person before him indeed was a Mahayana Realm master.
No wonder when he took action, Zhou Yu had no chance to resist.
This was the first time Zhou Yu had encountered such a terrifying expert.
"By the way, senior, do you know the origins of those Dark Clan who invaded the Human Clan Plane back then?"
Having the rare chance to meet a top figure, Zhou Yu naturally wanted to ask about the doubts in his heart.
The elder, hearing this, said indifferently:
"Those beings should be World Demons."
"World Demons?"
Zhou Yu was puzzled.
What is this?
He had never heard of it before.
"World Demons are demons from beyond the Plane, with very mysterious origins, almost appearing across every plane, big or small."
"Of course, in low-level planes like the Human Clan Plane, the World Demons appearing should be minor figures among them."
"In the Heavenly Origin World, there were once powerful World Demons, some even comparable to Mahayana Realm experts."
"But later, they were all eradicated."
"Ultimately, these World Demons are just demons, not worth mentioning."
Hearing this, Zhou Yu took a deep breath.
Finally, the elder’s words answered some of his doubts.
"Kid, you have a fate with me."
"I can impart the complete Five Thunders True Scripture to you."
"But you need to help me with certain tasks."
"Would you be willing?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu’s heart stirred.
He immediately said:
"Senior, if I agree to your request, would you help me leave the Bottom of Yellow Springs?"
The elder replied:
"Of course, the tasks I need you to do require going outside; they can’t be completed here."
With this definitive answer, Zhou Yu’s heart was filled with excitement.
He finally found a way out.
Zhou Yu took a deep breath and asked:
"What does senior need me to do?"
The elder waved his hand, and a burst of spirit light instantly penetrated Zhou Yu’s Sea of Consciousness.
Suddenly, a vast amount of information inundated Zhou Yu’s mind.
Zhou Yu spent nearly half an hour digesting all this content.
The elder wanted him to find some extremely rare materials.
Just reading the names of these things was enough to leave Zhou Yu bewildered.
Many items were barely mentioned even in ancient texts.
Zhou Yu never imagined the elder wanted him to seek these exceedingly rare things.
"Senior, are these things even still available in the entire Primordial Realm?"
"Junior dares not deceive senior; I truly have no confidence in being able to find them all."
The elder chuckled lightly:
"You don’t need to find them all."
"Finding one-third of them is sufficient."
"And as for the reward, I’m sure you’ll be quite interested."
Zhou Yu was stunned.
"What is it?"
"Rootless Heavenly Spirit Milk!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu’s pupils contracted suddenly.
"Is senior referring to the Rootless Heavenly Spirit Milk that can increase the success rate of dual body fusion tribulations for cultivators with dual cultivation of body and technique by eighty percent?"
The elder nodded with a smile.
"Indeed. I’m surprised you know about it, quite unexpected to me."
"With this item, you can essentially guarantee a one hundred percent success rate in overcoming the dual body fusion tribulation, completely integrating your body and technique."
Zhou Yu’s heart suddenly heated up.
Although he was still only at the Divinity Transformation Realm, for him, advancing to Refining Void was inevitable.
However, post-Refining Void, the next step would be the Integration Realm.
As a dual cultivator of body and technique, in the Integration Realm, he would face a fusion tribulation of body and technique.
If he could overcome this tribulation, his body and technique would merge, achieving perfection.
This was something he had dreamt of as a dual-body cultivator.
Once integrated, even if he had just entered the Integration Realm, his power could crush ordinary peak Integration Realm experts.
The boost in power this would bring to him was immeasurable.
Yet, the dual body fusion tribulation was intimidating enough to make all dual cultivators of body and technique hesitate.
Throughout history, only a handful of dual cultivators have successfully overcome the dual body fusion tribulation.
The difficulty of this task is imaginable...
