Hearing this, Ye Yu simply looked at Dan Chenzi and smiled, "What do you need me to do, senior?"
Dan Chenzi sized up Ye Yu and said, "I know you have a way to restrain the Nine Nether Blood Qi. This body of mine can't hold on much longer. To prevent the Nine Nether Blood Spring from erupting, all you have to do is stay here and suppress this blood spring for a hundred years. I'll give you everything from the Sacred Pill Sect, how about it?"
Ever since they entered the secret realm, Dan Chenzi had been paying attention to them. He knew Ye Yu had a method to restrain the Nine Nether Blood Spring, so it wasn't entirely unexpected.
Moreover, a hundred years wasn't a long time for a cultivator at the Nascent Soul Stage.
Not to mention the fact that he would receive all the remaining resources of the Sacred Pill Sect.
As long as one's talent was high enough, it wasn't impossible to break through to Spirit Transformation or even Void Refinement within these hundred years.
"Your conditions are very generous, senior, but a hundred years is too long for me," Ye Yu said with a smile.
"What if I force you to stay?" Dan Chenzi's eyes narrowed, and he said calmly.
"Then you can try, senior," Ye Yu took a deep breath and secretly gripped the small cauldron in his hand.
Even though Dan Chenzi was currently just a soul body, he had been a super great power at the Void Refinement Stage in his life. Let alone cultivators at the Nascent Soul Stage, even those at the Spirit Transformation Stage would likely be wary of him.
Dan Chenzi looked deeply at Ye Yu. After a long while, he chuckled lightly, waved his hand, and said, "Fine. I can't see through you, young man. In that case, I'll make a different offer."
"This broken body of mine can hold on for another ten years. Within these ten years, you return and resolve this blood spring matter, how about it?"
Ye Yu pondered for a moment before nodding, "I agree."
Seeing Ye Yu agree, Dan Chenzi removed the storage ring from his hand and threw it to him, saying, "This contains my life's earnings. Although a lot was used to seal the blood spring, there should still be quite a bit that will be useful to you."
"This is a deposit. Only when you return and completely resolve the Nine Nether Blood Spring can I give you the rest of the Sacred Pill Sect's belongings."
Ye Yu reached out and took the storage ring, nodding, "That's very reasonable."
"Alright, there's still some spiritual energy here. You can cultivate here and stabilize your realm. I forcefully interrupted your Nascent Soul tribulation, so if you don't temper yourself diligently, I fear your foundation might be unstable," Dan Chenzi waved his hand.
A surge of abundant spiritual energy instantly appeared in the palace, so dense it had almost turned into mist. The spiritual energy accumulated over a thousand years was all here.
Ye Yu did not refuse and immediately sat cross-legged, beginning to stabilize his realm.
Instantly, all the spiritual energy in the palace seemed to be drawn in, flowing continuously into Ye Yu's body.
Watching this scene, Dan Chenzi said in a voice only he could hear, "Chaos Nascent Soul, it has appeared again. I wonder if it's a blessing or a curse. Never mind, let's clean things up first."
Outside the palace, everyone watched the spot where Ye Yu had disappeared.
Some felt regret, some felt pain, but more were overjoyed.
If Ye Yu had truly managed to overcome the Nascent Soul tribulation, Qingzhou, and perhaps even the Yunlei Two States, would have no hope of advancement for them!
Among them, the happiest was Ye Xuan. For him, this was the best outcome.
Qin Yue and Qin Xiong didn't know what to say as they looked at the dejected Qin Ruoxian, only able to stand silently behind her.
After a long while, Qin Ruoxian stood up, took out the Autumn Water Sword, and said with determined eyes, "I don't believe he's dead just like that! I'm going to find him!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Qin Ruoxian rushed straight towards the Sacred Pill Sect's palace.
Due to the Nascent Soul tribulation, the suppression from the Ascending Heaven Staircase had disappeared for everyone. The ruins of the Sacred Pill Sect were now wide open.
Seeing Qin Ruoxian's actions, the others immediately reacted and rushed towards the Sacred Pill Sect, wanting to obtain the treasures within.
But just as they approached, Dan Chenzi's figure appeared before them. With a wave of his hand, pills appeared in front of these people.
These were all third and fourth-grade pills, which were no different from candy to Dan Chenzi.
Since he had orchestrated the appearance of the Sacred Pill Sect's ruins and attracted these young ones, he naturally had to give them some benefits.
"Alright, the farce ends here. Everyone, go back."
As he spoke, a terrifying spiritual energy vortex swept out. Everyone's bodies were uncontrollably sent flying backward. When they came to their senses, they were already outside the secret realm.
Then, Dan Chenzi looked up at the void and casually pointed. A colossal spiritual light spanning a thousand feet gathered.
Leng Qianqiu, who was using the Sky-Gazing Mirror, suddenly felt a terrifying power descend. The next moment, his chest felt tight, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. The Sky-Gazing Mirror trembled a few times and lost its luster.
The next moment, everyone discovered that the passage to the secret realm had been completely sealed.
All the powerful cultivators looked at each other, their hearts filled with shock.
There was no mistake, that feeling... a super great power at the Void Refinement Stage!
Immediately, everyone lost any desire to explore the secret realm. What a joke! With a Void Refinement Stage cultivator guarding it, how much did they not want to live to have such wicked thoughts.
Inside the palace, after absorbing all the spiritual energy, Ye Yu's realm was completely stabilized at the early Nascent Soul stage.
When Ye Yu opened his eyes, he saw Dan Chenzi toying with the Purple Firmament Sword with great interest, sighing occasionally.
"Do you recognize this sword, senior?" Ye Yu asked.
Dan Chenzi nodded, "An old acquaintance. Since this sword has fallen into your hands, take some time to visit the Purple Firmament Sword Sect. There is a legacy method there, and you can also cleanse the impurities within this sword."
After speaking, Dan Chenzi threw the Purple Firmament Sword back to Ye Yu.
"Impurities?" Ye Yu frowned and asked.
"A wisp of a remnant soul, but it seems to have been heavily injured and is in a deep sleep. It's a pity. If my physical body were still here, I could have erased it. But now I can't," Dan Chenzi sighed, sounding quite helpless.
Ye Yu's heart was startled. That wisp of a remnant soul should have belonged to a demon. But it was able to avoid being completely erased by the small cauldron.
Just how strong was this demon soul in its lifetime?
Spirit Transformation, Void Refinement? Or something even more terrifying?
"This place has been completely sealed by me. From now on, you can enter with this jade token. Remember, you only have ten years," Dan Chenzi said with a solemn expression.
Ye Yu nodded. Although he had only glanced at it before, Ye Yu knew that the Nine Nether Blood Spring of the Sacred Pill Sect was far more terrifying than all the Nine Nether Blood Springs in Qingzhou combined.
Not to mention, it had been sealed for a thousand years. He couldn't imagine how terrifying the Nine Nether Blood Qi within it must have become.
"Then I'll send you out," Dan Chenzi smiled and sent Ye Yu out of the secret realm.
Outside the secret realm at this moment.
Ye Fan stood with Ye Xuan and Ye Qingshuang in front of Qin Wushuang and the others, lamenting, "What a pity. That scoundrel couldn't get out. After this War of a Hundred Dynasties, I'm afraid Qingzhou will no longer have Great Qin."
"However, you still have a chance. If you marry Ruo Xian to Xiao Xuan, then perhaps my Great Qin can consider lending you some support."
