Children of Destiny also varied in strength. This strength had nothing to do with cultivation; it depended on the strength of their destiny.
"From the looks of it, Ye Xiu should belong to the weakest tier among Children of Destiny."
"Even his final destiny trump card was so pathetic."
Standing on the street that had just endured a fierce battle and was now littered with devastation,
Jun Wangyou thought back carefully and realized he had not misheard earlier.
A voice really had spoken.
Perhaps it had been some old grandpa spirit.
Unfortunately, it had been far too weak.
Before it could even finish speaking, ten spiritual treasures had blasted it into utter annihilation.
With a flip of his palm, a jade-green bottle no larger than his thumb appeared in Jun Wangyou's hand.
The jade bottle was smooth and rounded, its surface gleaming with a lush emerald sheen.
Even disregarding its nature as a Destiny Treasure, its appearance alone was enough to make anyone love it and never want to put it down.
[Azure Sky Pure Spirit Bottle (Destiny Treasure, Innate Low-grade Spiritual Treasure): Can elevate Acquired Spiritual Energy into Innate Spiritual Energy]
"Innate Spiritual Energy... was that why Ye Xiu could fight opponents above his level?"
"But it doesn't seem all that impressive."
Jun Wangyou pinched the Azure Sky Pure Spirit Bottle between two fingers, his tone carrying a hint of disdain.
Because he discovered that the boost this so-called Innate Spiritual Energy gave Ye Xiu seemed weaker than his own Spiritual Power.
"Or is the quality of my Spiritual Power even higher than Innate Spiritual Energy?"
Jun Wangyou wore a puzzled expression.
As he pondered, Jun Wangyou raised his head and tipped the Azure Sky Pure Spirit Bottle toward his mouth.
After quite a while, an extremely tiny drop of emerald liquid finally fell into his mouth.
Jun Wangyou closed his mouth and carefully sensed it.
Not long afterward, his expression changed, and his eyes filled with shock.
Because that tiny drop alone made him feel as if he had absorbed more than ten thousand spirit stones!
"I'm rich!"
At that moment, that was Jun Wangyou's only thought.
All this time, he had worried over spirit stones and had even been forced to earn them himself.
But now, he realized that he might never need to worry about spirit stones again!
Because that tiny drop was comparable to more than ten thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones!
And what if it were a full drop, or even an entire bottle?
Jun Wangyou did not dare imagine it.
With this bottle in hand, who in this world could be richer than him?
Jun Wangyou had originally felt somewhat disdainful of the Azure Sky Pure Spirit Bottle.
But now, he truly could not bear to put it down.
This was a genuine treasure.
But then, Jun Wangyou suddenly froze as a thought struck him.
The Azure Sky Pure Spirit Bottle's function was to elevate Acquired Spiritual Energy into Innate Spiritual Energy.
Put simply, it improved the quality of spiritual energy.
At the same volume, the quality of Innate Spiritual Energy surpassed Acquired Spiritual Energy by countless times!
Likewise, someone who cultivated with Innate Spiritual Energy would be countless times stronger than others at the same realm.
Even fighting opponents several levels above them would be no problem at all.
But wasn't that exactly the same as Jun Wangyou's own situation?!
In other words, Jun Wangyou's physique had exactly the same function as the Azure Sky Pure Spirit Bottle!
The only difference was that Jun Wangyou might be a larger version of the Azure Sky Pure Spirit Bottle!
"Holy crap, is this thing a mini cloned version of my physique?"
Jun Wangyou was stunned.
"No rush, no rush. I can study it slowly later."
Jun Wangyou hurriedly reined in his thoughts. Now was not the time to study the bottle.
By now, nearly all the Demonic Cultivators and members of the Demon Race in Tai'an City were dead.
So the most urgent task was to leave this place.
Just then, Ye Lingtian called out from the air.
"Big Brother, are you done? It's time to go."
"Oh, right, I'm coming."
Jun Wangyou put away the Azure Sky Pure Spirit Bottle, glanced around once more, and only left on his sword after confirming that nothing had been overlooked.
"Whoosh, whoosh~"
High above the sky, Jun Wangyou and Ye Lingtian flew side by side on their swords.
After witnessing Jun Wangyou's true strength in Tai'an City,
Ye Lingtian was practically bursting with excitement.
After all, who could refuse a powerful yet low-key companion?
"Big Brother, where are we going next?"
Ye Lingtian sat cross-legged atop a Top-grade Spirit Sword, with a map laid across his knees.
He had found it in Tai'an City, and it recorded the current situation across the entire eastern region in detail.
It showed places that had fallen, places that were temporarily safe, places where great battles were ongoing, and more.
Beside him, Jun Wangyou closed his eyes and focused, saying calmly, "Tell me about the current situation in the eastern region first."
"Oh, alright."
Ye Lingtian nodded and slowly explained, "A quarter of the eastern region has already fallen. The Demon-Monster Allied Army has split into three forces and is attacking three massive cities stretching across the central area of the eastern region.
Those three places are also currently the eastern region's three largest battlefields.
The Righteous Path Allied Army, including most of the Yin Yang Sacred Land's forces, has concentrated at those three battlefields..."
"..."
As Ye Lingtian continued his explanation,
suddenly, at that very moment, a shocking change occurred!
The entire Mystic Realm abruptly plunged into boundless darkness!
It was as though the sun had vanished.
Yet only moments later, sunlight reappeared and shone across the land.
As if the previous darkness had never occurred.
No one knew what had happened in the Mystic Realm during that instant.
But everyone had a feeling that something earth-shattering was about to happen!
High in the sky, Jun Wangyou and Ye Lingtian hovered there blankly.
Both of them had been stunned by the sight just now.
They stared at each other in confusion, completely at a loss.
Just then!
Jun Wangyou's vision suddenly flickered, and a figure appeared before him.
Upon seeing the newcomer's face, Jun Wangyou cried out in surprise!
"Master, why are you here?!"
That was right, the newcomer was True Man Qingwei, who should have been guarding the Demon Suppressing Abyss!
True Man Qingwei's expression was solemn. He did not explain.
Instead, he glanced at Ye Lingtian before shouting toward the sky.
"Ye Dahei, hurry up and take your boy home. Otherwise, I'll bring him back to keep my disciple company."
"Rumble!"
The moment True Man Qingwei finished speaking, a figure forcefully tore through space and descended.
The newcomer was an old man dressed in white robes.
The old man had the bearing of an immortal, with an ethereal temperament.
With a broad smile, he said, "Fine by me. It would be his honor to keep Jun Wangyou company."
"What?! Jun Wangyou?"
Ye Lingtian was dumbfounded. He looked at Jun Wangyou, his mouth hanging open as he had no idea what to say.
But the two old men ignored him, and Jun Wangyou had no time to pay attention to him either.
"Pah! Wishful thinking."
True Man Qingwei rolled his eyes at the white-robed old man. Then, too lazy to say anything further, he grabbed Jun Wangyou, tore open space, and left.
After True Man Qingwei and Jun Wangyou departed,
only Ye Lingtian and the white-robed old man remained.
Ye Lingtian said blankly, "Ancestor, what exactly happened just now? And Jun Wuyou is Jun Wangyou?"
Hearing this, the white-robed old man could not help giving Ye Lingtian a massive knock on the head!
Thud!
A bump instantly rose on Ye Lingtian's head.
Ye Lingtian clutched his head, his eyes brimming with tears. He had no idea why his ancestor had hit him, and he looked utterly pitiful and innocent.
"You idiot, I'll deal with you when we get home!"
The white-robed old man snapped in exasperation, then grabbed Ye Lingtian and likewise tore through space to leave.
But before departing, the white-robed old man still answered Ye Lingtian's first question.
"As for what exactly happened, even I don't know much.
I can only tell you this: the Mystic Realm is about to undergo a great change. Those who departed throughout the ages are about to return."
