Chapter 1575 (Raw 1557): Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Baleful Yin Energy
“This person...is really strong. He is probably a Major Primal Core cultivator,” Xiao Chen muttered to himself softly, frowning slightly.
There were only two stages within the Primal Core Realm: Minor Primal Core Realm and Major Primal Core Realm. One was major and the other, minor. The difference in strength could similarly be described as one was like the sky and the other, the ground, or like cloud and mud.
Although the blue-clad old man was strong, he was only a Minor Primal Core cultivator. The pressure he gave off was far from comparable to this voice’s.
With the urging of this voice, the sect disciples who came to seek Baleful Yin Energy came out from the stone houses.
Xiao Chen looked around casually. There were close to a hundred people.
Some sects sent more than ten people in one go. Extremely few sects did as the Tianyi Sect did, sending only two people.
With a glance, Xiao Chen understood. In strength and talent, the Tianyi Sect’s Fei`er and Luo Nan were above this group of people.
It looked like this Tianyi Sect was a sect that followed the policy of rewarding the elites.
Actually, during the battle with the pirates, Xiao Chen had noticed that even though these two were only Veritable Essence Stage cultivators, they were capable of fighting many Yin Essence Stage cultivators at the same time.
These two had both strength and talent. They just lacked experience and worldly wisdom.
Most of the sect disciples who came to seek Baleful Yin Energy were mostly Yin Essence Stage cultivators. Few were Veritable Essence Stage cultivators.
Xiao Chen entered deep thought. It looked like, in this place, the Veritable Essence Stage cultivators were the true experts.
“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”
Three figures flew over from above the gathering point at the peak at lightning speed. Then, they looked coldly at the sect disciples who were waiting to enter the other areas of Profound Yin Island.
The leader of the three was a white-haired, black-clad old man, who gave off a stern air.
As this old man swept his gaze over the crowd, everyone, including Xiao Chen, felt an invisible pressure like a tiger looking at prey.
A Major Primal Core expert! Xiao Chen thought to himself. Indeed, his earlier guess was right.
An expert on such a level was terrifyingly strong, able to make Xiao Chen tremble in fear with just one glance.
The white-haired, black-clad old man’s gaze was like a sharp knife. Everyone felt as though a saber hovered in front of his eyeballs.
This made everyone feel dizzy; they did not dare meet that gaze directly.
Not wanting to be careless, Xiao Chen withdrew his aura and avoided this old man’s gaze.
“Profound Yin Island is opened once every year. You all may now head to the other areas of Profound Yin Island.”
The sect disciples listened quietly, not daring to be unruly.
“Profound Yin Island is a land of blessings. There are ferocious beasts holding territory in the area and are terrifyingly strong. Do not be careless. There are mutated beasts guarding the surroundings of some Baleful Yin Energy. Gauge your own strength first before making an attempt.”
After pausing for a while, the white-haired black-clad old man extended his hand and pointed to the distance. “The inner area of Profound Yin Island is five thousand kilometers out in this direction. A transportation formation will send you over later.
“Back then, for the sake of obtaining this Profound Yin Island, more than ten sects fought each other, and many people died. You juniors should treasure this opportunity. Now, we will be checking your identities one last time.
“Honestly report which sect you come from and your strength. If there is any falsehood, we will kill without mercy.”
The white-haired old man sharply shifted his gaze and fixed on a youth. He said, “We’ll start with you.”
“I am from the Clear Feather Sect. My cultivation is at middle-stage Yin Essence Stage, and my name is Wei He.”
Before the white-haired old man’s gaze, no one dared to lie. The various sect disciples stepped forward and declared their background systematically and in detail.
Fei`er and Luo Nan worried about Xiao Chen.
If Xiao Chen messed up, not only would he suffer for it, but it would also implicate the two of them and the Tianyi Sect.
“Ye Bai, from the Tianyi Sect. My cultivation is at peak Veritable Essence Stage!” Xiao Chen said calmly before the white-haired old man’s gaze.
“Ye Bai?”
The white-haired old man exchanged glances with the two beside him, a strange cast to their eyes, clearly somewhat shocked.
It’s over...
Luo Nan trembled slightly as his face sank, feeling nervous and restless.
However, Xiao Chen remained calm. He believed that he had not messed up and exposed anything.
“The Tianyi Sect is truly incredible. You must have been stuck at the Veritable Essence Stage for a long time already, right?” the white-haired old man commented as he looked at Xiao Chen with his sharp gaze.
Xiao Chen nodded, revealing some sharpness in his own eyes. “I spent three years to hone my skills. As long as I do not find the best-quality Baleful Yin Energy, I will not advance to the Yin Essence Stage.”
The moment Xiao Chen said that, he attracted the attention of several people.
“Good! You are ambitious. I hope that you will be able to get a good harvest in Profound Yin Island. You may step down.”
The white-haired old man and the two beside him did not find anything strange. They had only noticed that Xiao Chen’s Veritable Essence Energy was exceptionally dense and pure. Xiao Chen’s cultivation was also extremely stable, far surpassing that of the other sect disciples here.
All the sect disciples present were elites of their sects. However, Xiao Chen could still stand out among them.
This was what shocked the three men. People like this were normally very proud.
Such people believed that they would definitely excel in the future, soaring into the sky.
These people would properly build their foundation in the Veritable Essence Stage, not advancing unless they obtained the best Baleful Yin Energy and Baleful Yang Energy.
Seeing that Xiao Chen was settled, Fei`er and Luo Nan released their bated breath.
Luo Nan thought to himself, This fellow does not seem like much, but he is really good at acting.
“You, report your name.”
“I’m from the Lotus Sect Temple. I’m Feng Yun, a Buddhist disciple. My cultivation is at peak Yin Essence Stage.”
Just at this moment, another person reported their sect. Xiao Chen frowned slightly. “Buddhist disciple?”
He felt a somewhat familiar aura from that Feng Yun.
Fei`er smiled and said, “Does Big Brother Xiao Chen not know? The Lotus Sect Temple is a Rank 1 sect subordinate to the Black Lotus Church. They come from the same great realm as our Tianyi Sect.”
The Black Lotus Church!
Xiao Chen was startled, but his expression did not change as he held his tongue.
This should be a coincidence. The Black Lotus Church should not have found out about his movements so quickly.
Although that was likely the case, Xiao Chen still needed to be cautious.
After the one-hundred-odd people were verified, a jade strip was given out to everyone. The jade strip had gone through some special refinement. Only those holding a jade strip could enter the inner area of Profound Yin Island.
After putting away the jade strips, the group of sect disciples lined up to enter the transportation formation.
While waiting with the surrounding people, Luo Nan discussed the various dangers of Profound Yin Island’s inner area with Fei`er in whispers.
“I heard from a senior brother of the sect that this Profound Yin Island’s inner area has extremely complex terrain. There are mountains and rivers. Furthermore, ferocious beasts are hiding everywhere.
“This is especially so for places with Baleful Yin Energy. There definitely would be ferocious beasts guarding those places, perhaps even Primal-Core-level ferocious beasts.”
The startled Fei`er blurted, “That can’t be. There are even Venerate-level ferocious beasts?”
“There will be.”
Suddenly, a handsome disciple squeezed his way over from the side. The three quickly turned to him.
“Hehe! Greetings to the three of you. I am the Clear Feather Sect’s Wei He.”
It turned out to be the first person to introduce himself earlier. Unexpectedly, they were in the same line.
Now that the other party introduced himself, the three had to reciprocate.
“Ye Bai, just address me by my name,” Xiao Chen said calmly.
“How could I? Big Brother Ye is someone that the Guardian Elder thinks highly of,” Wei He said humbly.
Luo Nan looked at the other party and asked, “Earlier, you said that there would be Primal-Core-level ferocious beasts. How do you know?”
“It is just gossip. According to rumors, the best Baleful Yin Energy of this Profound Yin Island has existed for ten thousand years, and there are Primal-Core-level ferocious beasts guarding it.”
“That’s impossible. Ten-thousand-year-old peak-quality Baleful Yin Energy would have been taken by the Guardian Elder long ago. We would not have any opportunity to get it.”
Wei He smiled mysteriously. “You never can tell. No one knows where that ten-thousand-year-old Baleful Yin Energy is. Rumor has it that this Baleful Yin Energy has already gained intelligence and can travel around.”
“How do you know?” Xiao Chen asked out of curiosity.
Wei He smiled and replied, “The Clear Feather Sect is in the Profound Light Great Realm. Being so near, we naturally know some secrets. However, this is just a rumor. Many were tempted by it and blindly chased after it. In the end, they ended up with nothing.
“Those people ended up wasting one month. Just listen and take it as a story.”
Xiao Chen entered deep thought. If there really is such a thing, perhaps I might have a chance.
His Dragon Seeking Art could be useful in the search for Baleful Yin Energy.
Of course, this was just a thought. Xiao Chen did not believe that he would be able to walk out of this Profound Yin Island safely after obtaining the ten-thousand-year-old Baleful Yin Energy.
It was better to just adhere to the norm and set his sights on peak-quality Baleful Yin Energy.
