Chapter 635: Desolation

The ancestor of the Yin-Yang Sect cursed inwardly, his heart bleeding, but there was nothing he could do; the figure before him was extremely formidable, and he was no match.

A group of elders from the Thunder Cloud Sect were as if injected with chicken blood; the Yin-Yang Sect, which had once been arrogant before them, now had its ancestor not daring to breathe loudly.

The Yin Transformation Pool—such energy could only be condensed in regions with extremely heavy yin qi, a kind of heavenly earth spiritual liquid, forming only one drop every year.

Thus, the Yin Transformation Pool held a very high status in the Yin-Yang Sect, being a sacred ground for cultivation, especially with great efficacy for the Yin-Yang Divine Art.

The forbidden ground of the Yin-Yang Sect was a region with very abundant yin qi, where even the rocks were pitch black, and there were many rare spiritual herbs with heavy yin qi, rare even in the outside world.

"Daoist friend, the Yin Transformation Pool is ahead." Although the Yin-Yang ancestor was unwilling, he had no choice; too many powerful experts had come, and it was hard to deal with them.

"You may leave." Hearing this, Yang Xiao nodded. His hand flicked slightly, and a strange gale instantly suppressed the Yin-Yang ancestor's body, shifting him away.

Yang Tian's footsteps moved inside. After passing through a forest, his eyes gazed at the rolling black clouds ahead, where there was a misty small pool with powerful yin qi leaking out.

"This is the Yin Transformation Pool." Walking over, Yang Tian's eyes pierced through the hazy mist, seeing everything inside clearly.

The pool was only about ten zhang wide, and the spiritual liquid inside was not much, only around three to four hundred drops, but each drop contained formidable energy.

"Not bad. This spiritual liquid, one drop condensed per year, is also a rare treasure." Hearing this, Yang Xiao nodded and said, "Let's see if it works."

A trace of expectation flashed in his eyes. Yang Tian took out Yun'er's body and, with palm force, slowly moved it into the Yin Transformation Pool.

As soon as the body landed, the Nine-Leaf Marvelous Flower emerged, its nine leaves trembling, drawing wisps of yin qi that fell into Yun'er's origin.

"I wonder if it's useful." Sitting cross-legged on the ground, Yang Tian scratched his head. The Nine Yin Divine Body was extremely terrifying; even with the origin dug out, Yang Tian could not see what was inside the black hole.

"Since the Ultimate Yin Divine Fruit worked, this energy should be effective." Hearing Yang Tian's worried voice, Yang Xiao smiled.

After a while, the bowl-sized black hole on Yun'er's chest seemed to stir slightly, and a divine might that flowed with the mysteries of the universe burst forth in an instant.

Seeing this, Yang Tian immediately opened his eyes, a hint of shock appearing in them. It seemed something terrifying was hidden inside, awakening!

But this fluctuation was only a flash. Even Yang Xiao was secretly startled. He looked with surprise at the Yin Transformation Pool, where the energy had been instantly devoured clean, and couldn't help wiping cold sweat.

"What just happened?" Yang Tian asked Yang Xiao with a face full of astonishment.

"It seems the three supreme divine bodies of the ancient times are not so simple." Hearing this, Yang Xiao pursed his lips, his eyes on the Yin Transformation Pool, which now had no trace of energy, and said, "The Ultimate Yin Divine Fruit should be able to awaken the energy that just erupted."

"So this method works..." Yang Tian's arms trembled slightly. He gently picked up Yun'er's delicate body, a hint of relief in his eyes, and said slowly.

At this moment, Yang Tian's soul power surged into the bowl-sized black hole. His gaze fell on the origin that had grown a little, excitement appearing in his eyes, and his fists clenched tightly.

Although it was only a tiny bit, it showed that this method was feasible. However, the quantity required would be terrifying!

Yet in Yang Tian's heart, as long as he could keep Yun'er alive for now, the matter of the Ultimate Yin Divine Fruit could be considered later.

"Uncle Xiao, is this kind of Yin Transformation Pool very hard to nurture?" After a moment of silence, Yang Tian exhaled a breath and asked.

"Sort of, but it requires too much energy. I'm afraid only the Ultimate Yin Divine Fruit can fully awaken her." Upon hearing this, Yang Xiao nodded and said.

"For now, we must preserve a thread of life. Although the Creation Divine Qi can nurture the remaining spark of life, it consumes mental energy every day. The only option now is to refine pills!"

Yang Tian nodded and placed Yun'er's body into the Ancestral Dragon Ring. Without any hesitation, he uprooted all the spiritual herbs inside, leaving nothing behind.

When Yang Tian and Yang Xiao left, the Yin-Yang Ancestor nearly fainted upon seeing the pitted ground.

"What sin have I committed..." Noticing the utterly clean Yin Transformation Pool, the Yin-Yang Ancestor wailed in grief, howling at the sky.

The group of powerful figures departed. The elders of the Thunder Cloud Sect parted ways with Yang Tian and headed to the second sect.

Yang Tian was burdened with worries. Yin-attributed precious herbs were rare, and only pills of considerable quality would be effective.

"Let's go see Meng Yunxi..." Sighing, with the Eastern Continent's situation unpredictable, Yang Tian decided to visit his friend's clan to inquire about the Ultimate Yin Divine Fruit.

The Meng family, the wealthiest clan in the Eastern Continent, had suffered a devastating blow during this great heavenly calamity, with many auction houses looted clean.

Senluo City, the founding place of the Meng family, was a super metropolis of the human race, with a population of tens of millions and formidable strength.

The once prosperous auction houses had lost their former bustle, and many forces had come to cause trouble.

Seeing this, Yang Tian frowned slightly. Along the way, he encountered many troublemakers. The auction house's dignity had been trampled, and its former prestige was gone.

"Is this what a fearsome era looks like? Even a quasi-emperor is powerless." Yang Tian sighed, took out his identity token, and under the respectful gaze of the guards, walked up to a winding hall.

At the top stood a graceful woman, her black hair loose, her red lips bright, exuding a mature aura. Her narrow eyes were fixed on a young man slowly ascending.

Meng Yunxi was as radiant and captivating as ever. Her body shimmered with crystalline luster, her narrow eyes glistened with mist, her hair draped over her shoulders, and a hint of laziness graced her cheeks—an utterly seductive sight.

"You finally remembered to come see me?" Her narrow eyes flickered, and her bright red lips parted slightly, her tone somewhat displeased.

"Heh, aren't you doing well?" Yang Tian shrugged, sat down on a nearby chair, and smiled.

"Heartless..." Meng Yunxi pouted, turned to brew a pot of tea, filled the cups, and said with a smile, "How is Yun'er? Is she alright? That little girl used to..."

With a bang, anger surged in Yang Tian's heart. His hand inadvertently crushed the chair, and his face darkened.

Seeing this, Meng Yunxi covered her red lips with her jade hand. Noticing Yang Tian's grim expression, she pouted and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?"

After a moment of silence, Yang Tian let out a breath, dispelling the turmoil in his heart. Looking at Meng Yunxi's face, he said, "Something happened to Yun'er. It's hard for her to wake up."

"What happened?" Meng Yunxi's eyes widened instantly. "Wasn't she said to be fine? How did this happen?"

Yang Tian recounted what had happened the previous day, leaving Meng Yunxi stunned. Her lips trembled slightly, and her eyes reddened. The little girl from before was gone just like that...

"Help me inquire about the Ultimate Yin Divine Fruit and the Yin-Yang Life-Returning Flower, as well as other yin-attributed precious herbs..." Yang Tian left a large number of high-grade blood stones and then departed on a long journey.

"It seems I'll have to mobilize the hidden forces ahead of time." With red-rimmed eyes, Meng Yunxi watched Yang Tian's lonely figure, pursed her red lips, and murmured softly in her heart.

For a full half month, Yang Tian roamed the Eastern Continent, but there was still no news of these two precious herbs.

Yang Ba entered the Ancestral Dragon Stele to awaken his bloodline. Yang Tian spent his time refining various elixirs. His soul cultivation had now reached the advanced Soul Refining stage, which was quite rare.
