Deity Hero: Me! Gaining Disciples Makes Me Stronger! Chapter 340: Chaos

Chapter 340: Chaos

Of course, how could things be so convenient? Nothing was gained from the trip.

Xuan Yi once again chose to go venturing into the underground palace, heading towards another treasure located deep within it.

There were still some surviving disciples in the underground palace.

However, they were still unaware of the situation at the moment.

After all, this whole incident happened too abruptly. No one knew that it would result in such an outcome.

To save time, Xuan Yi rushed over once again after using his magic weapon to disguise himself as the Elder from before as he planned to utilize the Elder's ident.i.ty.

Although his current speed was slightly slower than when he was escaping the palace, the difference was not too apparent.

Within a few moments, he found the entrance to the other treasure's location.

Like the one before, it was also underground. He let out a big sigh and jumped in.

With spiritual essence protecting his body and sword energy protecting his surroundings, he landed steadily inside.

As soon as he entered, a b.l.o.o.d.y smell a.s.sailed his nostrils. Undoubtedly, everyone here had died.

The ones at the front were probably disciples because they might have reacted faster and attempted to escape through the entrance of the cave.

Alas, a big hole could be seen on their chests. It was clear that they were killed in one strike.

Walking forward, he found an open hall. However, the chilly wind here made Xuan Yi uncomfortable.

Not long after, Xuan Yi saw the so-called Elders and the Sect Leader.

They were all Heavenly King Realm characters, and their hearts had been pierced through.

From the looks of it, it was seemingly done by the long spear user from before.

Xuan Yi did not expect the enemy to possess such power.

He would have to expend a vast amount of strength to fight against these Heavenly Kings.

However, the dead Heavenly Kings seemed to be unable to react fast enough.

It was as though they were all killed in one clean hit.

If that was the case, then what level were the monsters that got released?

Xuan Yi calmed his mind and continued to observe. There were some scattered jade talismans and broken seals.

It was obvious that the monsters had emerged from here.

Xuan Yi did not have the slightest sympathy for these dead people.

It could only be said that they deserved this ending due to their insatiable greed and that they had brought this upon themselves.

Unfortunately, they had also caused the entire South Continent to fall into chaos.

He then approached the jade talismans and held them in his hand while injecting them with spiritual essence.

Soon, the information contained within surged into Xuan Yi's mind.

After a moment, he finally understood the whole situation.

The ancient people who were let out were who they claimed to be. They were indeed the people who came to this underground palace 100,000 years ago.

They were seeking a chance for a breakthrough but didn't expect to activate the seals and were trapped in the underground palace.

Time crawled at a snail's pace, hence they survived for many years.

But the others who entered with them might have pa.s.sed on due to shorter lifespan or lack of cultivation.

It could also be seen as a tempering exercise, and only a small number of people survived.

Some of them were blessed by the heavens and managed to find an opportunity to leave early.

Originally, the seal was fine, but the Ten Great Sects that had barged into the depths of the underground palace could not control their greed.

They forcefully broke the seal, resulting in the release of the ancient ones.

Each of these ancient people had lived for a hundred thousand years or even more.

In this purgatory of time, they could only cultivate ceaselessly, even though they could not break through the seal.

Nevertheless, each of them had experienced a hundred thousand years' worth of training and cultivation.

Each of them was packed with extraordinary strength, and they were the epitome of the Heavenly King Realm.

Moreover, they were very likely to have the power to battle across realms.

At their current state, they were not beings that Xuan Yi could deal with alone.

He had to inform the other factions in the South Continent as soon as possible to make necessary preparations immediately.

Xuan Yi took out a jade talisman. This jade talisman had very delicate patterns on it and was extremely precious.

It was not an ordinary item. Xuan Yi injected spiritual essence into the jade talisman and it flew away, directly breaking through the barrier and heading to the Middle Saint Academy.

This was to inform them that they had to make preparations in advance.

The South Continent was about to welcome yet another major event.

The Middle Saint Academy would naturally inform the other factions as well, hence Xuan Yi was not worried about it.

Following that, he stared at the seal in the depths of the underground palace.

Although the seal had been broken, time was still flowing incomparably slow.

He stretched out his right hand, and spiritual essence circulated, forming a complicated character in midair.

It was c.u.mbersome and slow. Fifteen minutes later, a huge seal was completed.

Xuan Yi stepped into it, preparing to make the next breakthrough.

It was a crucial time. Xuan Yi had to possess powerful strength to protect himself and his people, regardless of whether they were his disciples or his family.

Although the current Xuan Yi was only a partial Heavenly King, even a mid-stage Heavenly King was not his match.

Despite that, Xuan Yi was still uncertain that he could face those terrifying ancient people.

Every ancient king had already achieved levels that one could only dream of.

If he wanted to defeat them, his current level was unquestionably insufficient.

He retrieved the system's reward, 100,000 grams of divine essence and 10 grams of Dao essence, along with the divine essence that Xuan Yi had plundered.

If anyone from the Heavenly King Realm saw these items, they would probably go crazy over them.

They would never be able to see such a huge amount of divine essence in their entire lives.

Even those with extremely high powers did not have as deep a foundation as Xuan Yi.

After all, he had ten grams of Dao essence.

Next, it was time to focus on cultivation.

With the protection of the seal he created, the disciples outside would not be able to discover the situation inside.

Moreover, with their strength, they would not be able to enter.

At the same time, the seal also had the effect of concealing the divine essence.

Otherwise, if this 100,000 grams of divine essence were taken out, the entire underground palace would most likely be able to see it.

Xuan Yi first used the small stones he picked up as an experiment and chose the smallest one.

He then began to absorb it.

Although it was very small, Xuan Yi used 3 full hours to finish absorbing it.

The Dao essence was much more precious than the divine essence.

However, due to Xuan Yi's low realm, he was unable to perceive the principles contained in the Dao essence.

Even though the Dao essence would no doubt triumph over divine essence in terms of abundance or quality of energy, it was still a bit of a waste if he could not fully benefit from it.

Therefore, Xuan Yi stored the Dao essence.

He decided to first use the divine essence to complete the breakthrough and then absorb the Dao essence.

If he forcefully absorbed the Dao essence and did not understand the more precious energies and principles contained within it, then it would have been a pure waste of heaven's gifts.

To increase his cultivation speed, Xuan Yi directly absorbed 10,000 grams of divine essence at a time.

The divine essence was too rich, causing fog to start forming around him.

All of this was pure spiritual energy.

Like a whale swallowing, he absorbed all of this fog, and the spiritual essence in his body circulated rapidly.

It polished the spiritual essence nodes in his body.

Under Xuan Yi's concentrated cultivation, time flew by.

A hundred days had pa.s.sed, but he was still immersed in his cultivation.

His domains were activated, the Flame Demon Fire Domain and the Void Sword Domain, flickered with brilliant light along with many other stars.

At this moment, this small corner of the world had its sky filled with countless bright starlight.
