Chapter 955: The Inverse Life Spring

"Plop!"

Ye Yuan fell into the spring, splashing a spray of water.

"Ah! Yuan Ge, no!" Yue Mengli cried out in alarm.

But it was already too late; Ye Yuan's entire body submerged into it.

When the two reached the edge of the spring, where could they still see Ye Yuan's figure? The spring water was clearly transparent, yet Ye Yuan was completely invisible.

Without a second thought, Yue Mengli was about to jump into the water, but Yue Jianfeng grabbed her firmly.

"Li'er, don't! This is a Corrosive Spring; even if I fell in, I couldn't come out alive!" Yue Jianfeng said.

Tears streamed down Yue Mengli's face. She had never expected Ye Yuan to jump straight in.

Yue Jianfeng was right; even a Dao Profound realm expert like him couldn't survive jumping in, let alone Ye Yuan.

Now, the water surface had returned to calm, but Ye Yuan hadn't even surfaced his head, probably...

Yue Mengli dared not think further. She couldn't understand why Ye Yuan, having clearly seen the fate of that person earlier, would still jump into the Corrosive Spring.

"Splash..."

Water splashed, and Ye Yuan's head emerged from the spring.

Yue Jianfeng and Yue Mengli stared at this scene, their eyes full of disbelief. Ye Yuan had come out completely unscathed!

By this time, Ye Yuan should have been completely dissolved.

"Ye Yuan, you... you're actually fine!" Yue Jianfeng's eyes widened.

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Just as I expected, this so-called Corrosive Spring is actually a type of spiritual spring, but people have been drawing from it in the wrong way! Let's not talk about it now; I feel like I'm about to break through."

Suddenly, a violent storm of primal power erupted with Ye Yuan at its center. Yue Jianfeng and Yue Mengli quickly retreated.

The two exchanged glances, both seeing shock in each other's eyes.

Throughout history, no one had ever survived in this Corrosive Spring, but not only was Ye Yuan unharmed, he had gained great benefits from it and was breaking through directly!

"It seems our Yue family's understanding of the Sun and Moon Bright Realm is still too shallow," Yue Jianfeng said with a bitter smile as he watched Ye Yuan break through.

Before long, the primal storm subsided, and Ye Yuan successfully broke through to the Second Layer of Formlessness.

After Ye Yuan left the spiritual spring, the spring eye visibly disappeared at a speed noticeable to the naked eye, eventually turning into a flat patch of ground.

"Yuan Ge, what exactly happened?" Yue Mengli couldn't wait to ask, stepping forward.

Ye Yuan's actions just now had completely overturned their understanding.

They had never known that this Corrosive Spring could have such an effect.

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "This Corrosive Spring is actually an ancient spiritual spring called the Inverse Life Spring!"

"Reverse Life Spring?" Yue Jianfeng and Yue Mengli were both bewildered, clearly having never heard the name before.

"It's not surprising you don't know. The Reverse Life Spring has long vanished from the Divine Realm. I only recognized it because I came across it in an ancient text. I never expected to find such a thing within the Sun-Moon Realm," Ye Yuan remarked with a sigh.

Yue Jianfeng grew anxious and asked, "What exactly is this Reverse Life Spring you speak of? Why does it dissolve everyone else who enters the corrupt spring, yet you remain unharmed?"

Ye Yuan explained, "The Reverse Life Spring is born from heaven and earth, containing powerful and狂暴 primal energy. Legend has it that a single sip of the Reverse Life Spring can directly elevate a Dao Xuan First Layer martial artist to Dao Xuan Third Layer! Of course, that's provided you aren't instantly burst apart by the狂暴 energy."

"What! That... that's too exaggerated, isn't it? Then what about you just now..." Yue Jianfeng nearly jumped up, his face full of disbelief.

For most martial artists, after breaking through to the Dao Xuan realm, each minor breakthrough consumes hundreds or even thousands of years.

But a single sip of spring water that could elevate a Dao Xuan First Layer martial artist to the Third Layer—such a spring was simply too terrifying!

More importantly, Ye Yuan spoke of a single sip, yet the corrupt spring they encountered was a small pool. Although Ye Yuan had broken through, the effect was far from as恐怖 as he described.

Ye Yuan chuckled, "Hey, do you think the Reverse Life Spring is as common as street-side cabbage, with a whole pool just lying around? That Reverse Life Spring earlier had been diluted countless times! If it were truly a large pool of Reverse Life Spring, do you think I'd dare to wade in so casually?"

Yue Jianfeng's face reddened, realizing he had been overthinking.

There were countless corrupt springs in the Sun-Moon Realm; if they were all Reverse Life Springs, it would be even more precious than the Sun-Moon Divine Eye!

"Brother Yuan, then why does the Reverse Life Spring dissolve people when they enter?" Yue Mengli asked, puzzled.

Yue Jianfeng pricked up his ears at this; it was precisely what puzzled him most.

Ye Yuan smiled, "The Reverse Life Spring has a peculiar trait: when absorbing it, you cannot circulate your cultivation technique in the normal direction, or it becomes a highly corrosive poison that dissolves you instantly! You must reverse your technique to absorb its primal energy. Hence the name 'Reverse Life Spring.' Without prior knowledge, rashly absorbing the spring is no different from seeking death."

Yue Jianfeng and Yue Mengli marveled at this, amazed that such a bizarre spring could exist in nature.

Without prior understanding, who would know that this terrifying corrupt spring was actually a rare treasure of heaven and earth?

Yue Jianfeng sighed regretfully, "The Sun-Moon Realm has existed for so many years, and our Yue family has sat on a treasure without knowing it. How ironic!"

Ye Yuan also lamented, "I truly envy the martial artists of the Divine Dao era! Many rare treasures of heaven and earth have likely vanished along with the Divine Dao. The Reverse Life Spring is a rare treasure for Dao Xuan realm martial artists, but in the Divine Dao era, it was probably nothing special."

From Dao Xuan First Layer to Dao Xuan Third Layer sounds impressive, but if Divine Dao experts still existed, it would be merely so-so.

Such a level of primal energy would likely be a drop in the bucket for a Divine Dao expert.

The Reverse Life Spring had vanished from the Divine Realm, leaving no trace, and records of it were extremely scarce.

Although the Medicine King Hall was the most shallow-rooted among the super holy lands, its accumulated depth was beyond ordinary imagination.

Over thousands of years, Ji Zhengyang had explored countless secret realms and obtained many extremely rare texts.

In his pursuit of the supreme realm of the Divine Alchemist, Ye Yuan had perused countless such texts. His knowledge was far beyond that of ordinary martial artists.

But in the Divine Dao era, such rare treasures of heaven and earth were probably not as scarce as they were now.

Ye Yuan's words were spoken from the heart.

His goal had never been mere Divine King realm, but the supreme Divine Dao!

This sentiment was probably understood only by Yue Mengli, who shared his heart.

"Alright, let's continue on our way! If we encounter another Reverse Life Spring, you two can also enter and absorb some," Ye Yuan said.
