Chapter 744: Rumors, Demon Tomb, Divine Liquid
These three "Yin Spirit Ganoderma" were each only the size of a palm.
At first glance, they seemed no different from ordinary Lingzhi, but upon closer inspection, one could see that every vein on them flickered with specks of divine light.
What shocked Ye Chen the most was the intense, pitch-black Divine Power hidden deep within their bodies that Ye Chen had previously observed.
Even though Ye Chen's combat power was now enormously strong, he felt that he couldn't eradicate this mysterious black Divine Power.
The fact that such small "Yin Spirit Ganoderma" contained such strange black Divine Power naturally caused Ye Chen immense shock!
"Xiaojiu, what exactly is this 'Yin Spirit Ganoderma'? You mentioned earlier that this object is related to the legend of the 'Demon Tomb'—what is the legend?" After examining the "Yin Spirit Ganoderma" in his hand, Ye Chen asked Xiaojiu.
Xiaojiu, at this moment, looked at the three "Yin Spirit Ganoderma" in Ye Chen's hands with eyes full of immense surprise.
"Ye Chen, this 'Yin Spirit Ganoderma' is extraordinary!"
"To speak of it, although it was a waste to use a 'Xuan Divine Cone' to execute that Heavenly Divine Venerable, obtaining the news of the 'Yin Spirit Ganoderma' from him and successfully capturing these three 'Yin Spirit Ganoderma' was definitely a huge profit!"
"Oh?" Hearing Xiaojiu speak like this, Ye Chen became even more curious about the legend of the "Yin Spirit Ganoderma."
Xiaojiu continued, "To discuss this 'Yin Spirit Ganoderma', we must first talk about the 'Demon Tomb.'"
"Ye Chen, you should have inquired about the 'Demon Tomb' containing a total of nine 'Demon Graves,' right?"
Ye Chen nodded.
Xiaojiu said, "These nine 'Demon Graves,' from the outside to the inside, are ranked from the ninth Demon Grave, the eighth, the seventh... all the way to the 'first Demon Grave.'"
"These nine 'Demon Graves' each contain different ranks of ancient demonic creatures. The further inside the graves are, the more precious they become, with more treasures of heaven and earth being born within them."
"Of the nine 'Demon Graves', the most precious is the 'first Demon Grave'!"
"However, this 'first Demon Grave,' along with the 'second' and 'fifth Demon Graves,' later underwent strange changes and became places one cannot enter at will."
"To enter them, one must possess special spiritual objects, using the unique Divine Power of these objects to gain access to the corresponding Demon Grave."
"And this 'Yin Spirit Ganoderma' is the exclusive spiritual object required to enter the 'first Demon Grave'!"
"It can be said that without the 'Yin Spirit Ganoderma,' even the outstanding figures among the Heavenly Divine Venerables wouldn't be able to step into the 'first Demon Grave'!"
"The 'first Demon Grave' is the most precious of the nine great Demon Graves. It also has a strange energy that prevents anyone at the level of Immortal Divine Venerable or higher from entering, allowing only those below the Immortal Divine Venerable level to go inside."
"Such a precious grave naturally causes countless Heavenly Divine Venerables to desperately want to gain entry, and the 'Yin Spirit Ganoderma' is the exclusive key to entering the 'first Demon Grave.' Ye Chen, do you not find this object precious?"
"Even if this item were to be traded to one of the prominent Heavenly Divine Venerables for some incredibly precious items, I am afraid those Divine Venerables would be more than willing!"
Hearing Xiaojiu's words, Ye Chen was immensely moved.
These three little "Yin Spirit Ganoderma" were actually so precious?!
"Xiaojiu, isn't it said that the 'Demon Graves' are incredibly dangerous? Since the 'first Demon Grave' is the most precious, I fear the danger there must be the greatest. What exactly is inside that makes the Divine Venerables risk everything for a chance to enter?" Ye Chen asked Xiaojiu.
At this moment, Xiaojiu's voice also trembled.
"Ye Chen, inside the 'first Demon Grave' there is something that gives the Heavenly Divine Venerables a great chance to break through their bottlenecks, and even helps Superior Heavenly Divine Venerables increase their chances of successfully advancing to Immortal Divine Venerable!"
"Keep in mind, there are countless Heavenly Divine Venerables who ultimately remain stuck in the realm of Divine Venerable their whole lives, never able to step into the Immortal Divine Venerable realm!"
"This kind of thing that can help break through realms, of course, will provoke numerous scrambles!"
"Not only do the Divine Venerables desire this object, but even Immortal Divine Venerables are incredibly eager to get it. It is said that this object is of great use even for Immortal Divine Venerables trying to break through bottlenecks!"
"If not for the restriction that prevents Immortal Divine Venerables from entering the 'first Demon Grave,' probably countless Immortal Divine Venerables would wish to enter it!"
"It is of great use for the Immortal Divine Venerables to break through bottlenecks?!" Ye Chen hurriedly asked, "Xiaojiu, what exactly is this marvelous object?"
Xiaojiu replied, "This object is called 'Divine Milk.' It is said that the 'Divine Milk' was born in the heart of the 'first Demon Grave,' and only by traversing numerous dangers can one arrive at the land of the 'Divine Milk.' Moreover, even if one reaches the land of 'Divine Milk,' each person can only obtain a maximum of ten drops of 'Divine Milk,' and not a single drop more can be brought out!"
"However, even just ten drops of Divine Milk are enough for many Heavenly Divine Venerables and Immortal Divine Venerables to break through their bottlenecks!"
At this, Xiaojiu looked directly at Ye Chen, his voice filled with excitement, "Ye Chen, if you were to obtain ten drops of Divine Milk, just one drop would definitely allow you to break through from the Nine Tribulation True God to the God King Realm!"
"Furthermore, the remaining Divine Milk could help you break through the Earth Divine Venerable and Heavenly Divine Venerable realms when you encounter bottlenecks in your cultivation later on!"
Boom!
Xiaojiu's words set off an explosion in Ye Chen's mind.
Ye Chen had always wanted to break through to the God King Realm.
This time he came to the "Demon Tomb Land" specifically to complete a level-five mission, to obtain the "Thunder Turtle Egg" in exchange for the "Tribulation Inducing Pill" to help himself overcome the divine tribulation and break into the God King Realm.
Now, hearing that there was something like "Divine Milk" within the "Demon Tomb Land" that was not only greatly beneficial for breaking through to the God King Realm but also incredibly helpful for future breakthroughs at the Earth Divine Venerable, Heavenly Divine Venerable, and even the Immortal Divine Venerable bottlenecks.
How could this not shake Ye Chen to the core?
Ye Chen finally understood why the Heavenly Divine Venerable had charged directly into these mountains to slay him.
It was probably because the Heavenly Divine Venerable did not want the news of the "Yin Spirit Ganoderma" to get out and sought to silence him!
"Ye Chen, I had originally not even considered the matters of the 'First Demon Tomb' and the 'Divine Milk,' after all, the 'Yin Spirit Ganoderma' is too hard to find."
"Rumors have it that there are only two ways to obtain the 'Yin Spirit Ganoderma.'"
"One is to enter the 'Netherworld Land,' not far from the 'Demon Tomb Land,' to seek it out. However, the danger level of the 'Netherworld Land' is not one bit less than the 'Demon Tomb,' and the chances of finding a 'Yin Spirit Ganoderma' are very slim."
"Another method to get the 'Yin Spirit Ganoderma' is when the 'Demon Tomb Land' is about to open, and it descends onto this subordinate continent, providing an opportunity to obtain it."
"However, in the past, the 'Yin Spirit Ganoderma' have always appeared in those regions of this subordinate continent where the aura of Divine Power is extremely rich, and only one 'Yin Spirit Ganoderma' would appear per region. And such regions are often occupied by major forces; not even other Heavenly Divine Venerables would have the chance to claim them."
"This time, it's extremely strange that the 'Yin Spirit Ganoderma' appeared in these desolate and remote mountains and suddenly, three of them appeared, which is truly incredible!"
"Could it be that there's something different about this 'First Demon Tomb' that has caused the 'Yin Spirit Ganoderma' to appear in a different region?!"
By the end, Xiaojiu herself was feeling incredibly puzzled.
Hearing Xiaojiu's words, Ye Chen's mind stirred, "Let's not worry about why the 'Yin Spirit Ganoderma' appeared here for now. Xiaojiu, what I'm curious about is, what's the difference between having one 'Yin Spirit Ganoderma' or three?"
"After all, you only need one to enter the 'First Demon Tomb.'"
Seeing Ye Chen's confusion, Xiaojiu chuckled, "Of course there's a huge difference between having one and three!"
"Ye Chen, it is said that each 'Yin Spirit Ganoderma' can allow one Heavenly Divine Venerable, ten Earth Divine Venerables, and a hundred below the Earth Divine Venerable realm to enter the 'First Demon Tomb.'"
"The 'First Demon Tomb' is incredibly dangerous, and obtaining the wondrous 'Divine Milk' inside is even more tremendously challenging. Under such circumstances, of course, everyone hopes to have as many of their people enter the 'First Demon Tomb' as possible. After all, the more people there are, the greater the chance of overcoming the dangers together and obtaining the Divine Milk!"
"It's a pity that it's said that only at most a hundred 'Yin Spirit Ganoderma' are ever transmitted outside, and the number discovered each time is only in the tens or even fewer."
"Moreover, each time the 'Yin Spirit Ganoderma' are spread outside, if not used during the opening of the Demon Tomb Land, they will directly vanish afterwards. This indicates that the number of 'Yin Spirit Ganoderma' that can be used each time is even fewer!"
"Under these circumstances, each 'Yin Spirit Ganoderma' is of course incredibly precious!"
"Moreover, the 'Yin Spirit Ganoderma' have another special efficacy — that is the ability to help fend off some of the perils within the 'First Demon Tomb.' Naturally, once the 'Yin Spirit Ganoderma' are used as a means of transport to send someone into the First Demon Tomb, their ability to fend off danger also disappears."
"Generally, large forces are reluctant to use it to fend off danger and prefer to use it to transport more people inside."
"But for individual persons, of course the more 'Yin Spirit Ganoderma' they can get, the better. Not only can it ensure one's smooth entry into the 'First Demon Tomb,' but it also means having extra 'Yin Spirit Ganoderma' to help fend off the dangers within, which greatly increases the safety."
"Ye Chen, don't you see how precious it is to suddenly obtain three 'Yin Spirit Ganoderma'?!"
"I'm afraid many large forces cannot get so many 'Yin Spirit Ganoderma' all at once!"
Xiaojiu's words genuinely stirred something deep within Ye Chen.
This "Yin Spirit Ganoderma," it could actually help fend off dangers in the "First Demon Tomb"?
When Ye Chen heard that the "First Demon Tomb" contained "Divine Milk," he too became interested in entering the "First Demon Tomb."
However, he knew without a doubt that the "First Demon Tomb" would be fraught with extreme dangers. Even if characters at the Immortal Divine Venerable and Venerable Master levels could not enter, the place was probably filled with other formidable Heavenly Divine Venerables.
Not to mention the various intrinsic dangers of the "First Demon Tomb" itself.
Even with the "Xuan Divine Cone" in his possession, entering it posed a huge risk for Ye Chen!
However, if the "Yin Spirit Ganoderma" could indeed help counteract the dangers inside, then Ye Chen became somewhat inclined to check out the "First Demon Tomb."
After all, he wanted the "Divine Milk," which could help with breaking through realms, just as badly!
And if the "Yin Spirit Ganoderma" were not used, they would vanish by the next time.
Ye Chen couldn't possibly save them for later use when his own strength had increased.
Whether he could get more "Yin Spirit Ganoderma" in the future was a complete unknown.
Naturally, Ye Chen had to consider cherishing this opportunity to obtain the "Yin Spirit Ganoderma"!
