YM778.TV Chapter 102: Chapter 93 The Three Great Loose Cultivators of Wan Ya Mountain
Outside the Ancestral Land, the three Patriarchs of the great clans and countless clan members still gathered at the entrance to the Ancestral Land, hesitant to leave for a long time.
At this moment, behind the fourth statue at the center of the Ancestral Land, the black vortex entrance leading to the Ancestral Land Secret Realm had already closed completely.
Only on the day when the exploration of the Ancestral Land Secret Realm concludes, a month later, will this entrance be opened again.
"The children have all entered!"
"It seems that the test of the Ancestral Land Secret Realm has already begun."
"Who knows what opportunities and fortunes these thirty of them could gain within the Ancestral Land Secret Realm."
Patriarch Bai looked at the Ancestral Land, his eyes filled with anticipation as well as worry.
This Ancestral Land, which opens only once every few hundred years, was also an experience Patriarch Bai had never had. Whether the young ones from the three clans could acquire precious treasures inside, he wasn\'t fully confident.
"There will be great gains!"
"There definitely will be!"
Patriarch Ye looked at the spot where the entrance to the Ancestral Land had disappeared and said with absolute certainty.
Among the youths who entered the Ancestral Land this time, whether it be Ye Chen or Bai Xiaodie, they were all talents rarely seen in hundreds of years among the three clans. Patriarch Ye believed that they would definitely have the capability to pass the tests set by Lord Di Kong and secure great rewards!
"Let\'s hope so!"
"Let\'s hope the children can bring us some pride!"
"Alas, the hope for our three clans\' prosperity rests on these children!"
"It\'s been hundreds of years since we last had a Spirit Sea Realm powerhouse born. I truly hope, among these children, there will eventually be those who step into the Spirit Sea Realm!"
The image of Ye Chen, Bai Xiaodie, and Qian Ming flashed through Patriarch Qian\'s mind as he sighed and spoke.
The three Patriarchs looked at the Ancestral Land with worry and anticipation. The clan members of the three clans standing outside the Ancestral Land shared the same sentiments as the Patriarchs.
The parents and relatives of the thirty young ones who had entered the Ancestral Land were among the crowd. They were concerned for their children\'s safety in the Ancestral Land Secret Realm, and they, too, were full of hopes that their children could secure a grand opportunity!
In the crowd, little Tao\'er stood together with Ye Chen\'s father and mother, who were also looking at the Ancestral Land with some worry at this moment.
With Ye Chen\'s disappearance into the Ancestral Land, and having entered that incredibly mysterious Ancestral Land Secret Realm, the two knew nothing about this unknown and secret space and were naturally filled with concern.
But little Tao\'er, looking at the Ancestral Land, had eyes shining with excitement, "The Ancestral Land Secret Realm, ah, a mysterious place that opens only once every few centuries! Who knows what the young master will gain from it this time, I wish the month would hurry by, and see what he brings out!"
...
Wan Ya Mountain, a large mountain located outside of Qingyang City.
The founding ancestors of the Ye, Bai, and Qian families all hunted for a living in these mountains.
It was also in these mountains that they saved the injured and unconscious Heavenly Saint Di Kong, which brought about a millennium of grand opportunities for the three families!
While the attention of all the clansmen from the three families of Qingyang City was captivated by the opening of the Ancestral Land, in the depths of Wan Ya Mountain, in a stronghold called Black Cliff Stronghold, there were also some people quietly paying attention to the opening of the Ancestral Land of the three clans.
"Third brother, how is the progress regarding the three great families of Qingyang City entering that Ancestral Land Secret Realm?"
Within a secret chamber of Black Cliff Stronghold, a green-robed elder who sat at the highest seat spoke to a young man who had just walked in.
The young man answered, "Big brother, today, the three great families have sent thirty youths into the Ancestral Land Secret Realm!"
"According to our discovered text, a month from now, these people will come out from the Ancestral Land Secret Realm, and by then, they will bring the treasures out with them!"
The green-robed elder slapped his hand on the chair upon hearing the young man\'s words and stood up, "Good, I didn\'t expect that a text we found by chance, which recorded the matters of the Ancestral Land of the three clans, would actually come to pass!"
"This text, left by an ancestor of the three clans who had once entered the Ancestral Land and later successfully cultivated to the Spirit Sea Realm, provides information on the Ancestral Land that must not be mistaken!"
"According to the text, only young people under the age of twenty from the three clans can enter this Ancestral Land Secret Realm, where they can obtain countless treasures, some of which are even useful to those in the Spirit Sea Realm!"
"That ancestor of the three clans managed to break through to the later stages of the Spirit Sea Realm by relying on these treasures!"
"Hmph, treasures, of course, are meant for those with the strength to own them! Those people from the three great families, merely in the True Qi Realm, think they can monopolize the treasures of the secret realm? Dream on!"
"Although we three brothers cannot enter that secret realm, we cannot let go of those treasures!"
"A month from now, when those young ones bring the treasures out of the secret realm, we will head to Qingyang City and seize those items!"
From the words of the green-robed elder, it could be heard that he actually knew about the Ancestral Land Secret Realm of the three great families!
```
"Yes, Big Brother!"
Upon hearing the green-robed elder\'s words, the youth also laughed and said, "Those three major families, to be so busy with this matter, are essentially preparing a dowry for us three brothers. When Second Brother awakens from his seclusion, learning of this news, he will surely be overjoyed!"
"The treasures of the secret realm, I really want to see what those legendary treasures, so highly praised in the ancestral records by the families, actually look like!"
"Heh heh, it won\'t be long before you get to see them!" The green-robed elder\'s eyes also emitted a greedy gleam.
If there were martial cultivators in the Heavenly Wind Kingdom who recognized this green-robed elder and the youth, they would surely realize that these two were two of the so-called \'Three Great Loose Cultivators of Wan Ya Mountain\'!
These Three Great Loose Cultivators of Wan Ya Mountain dominated Black Cliff Stronghold, with countless underlings beneath them, and they were a supremely strong force within Wan Ya Mountain.
All three Loose Cultivators were powerhouses of the Spirit Sea Realm. The eldest, who was the leader of Black Cliff Stronghold and the one in the green robe, had reached the mid stage of the Spirit Sea Realm.
The one they referred to as the Second in command, currently in seclusion, also possessed mid-stage Spirit Sea Realm cultivation, while the youngest, this youth, had reached the early stage of the Spirit Sea Realm.
The people of the three major families in Qingyang City had no idea that these three Loose Cultivators had inadvertently discovered one of the ancestors\' Cultivation Cave Abodes. Through the records in the cave, they learned of the Ancestral Land Secret Realm!
The three families were even more oblivious to the fact that their family tournament, intended to select youths to enter the Ancestral Land, had caught the attention of the three powerful Spirit Sea Realm Loose Cultivators, all of whom harbored greed for the treasures within the secret realm!
Moreover, these three had already entertained the idea of seizing the treasures, merely waiting for Ye Chen and the others to emerge from the secret realm with the treasures before making their move to snatch them!
A crisis was quietly lurking, unknown to all of the three major families, and even to Ye Chen and the others who were currently within the Ancestral Land Secret Realm.
...
At this moment, the thirty young cultivators in the Ancestral Land Secret Realm had already entered into a frenzied process of harvesting "Golden Light Beads".
Gathering more Golden Light Beads meant exchanging them for more treasures, so the youngsters were naturally not lax in their efforts and were striving hard to collect them!
Some of them didn\'t even rest day and night, only taking a brief break when they could no longer persist.
Out of the thirty youths, the one who had collected the most Golden Light Beads was none other than Ye Chen!
From the start, Ye Chen had led by a long shot in the number of Golden Light Beads collected. By the end of the first day, under the watchful and intense interest of the Spirit of the Sacred Artifact, Ye Chen had scoured hundreds of miles around, gathering over a million Golden Light Beads by the first day\'s end!
This number had even astonished the Spirit of the Sacred Artifact!
But when night fell, Ye Chen didn\'t continue harvesting Golden Light Beads like the others; instead, he sat cross-legged amidst the Green Flow Creeper, beginning to cultivate.
The amount of Golden Light Beads Ye Chen had collected during the day gave him a rough estimate of the total he could eventually gather. In such a case, Ye Chen naturally arranged his time more reasonably between cultivation and harvesting.
In the Ancestral Land Secret Realm, True Qi was incredibly abundant. Just the speed of the meridians autonomously consuming the True Qi of heaven and earth was five to six times faster than outside. In this profusely abundant True Qi of the world, even grasping Martial Skills often led to moments of enlightenment.
In such circumstances, Ye Chen certainly wouldn\'t overexert himself by ceaselessly gathering Golden Light Beads.
Cultivating at night while allowing his tense spirit to relax during the day, and recovering his strained spirit and True Qi, all the while elevating his internal and external Martial Skills was the method. Interspersing tension with relaxation allowed him to go further in the ten-day Golden Light Bead collection period.
Indeed, Ye Chen\'s strategy was remarkably effective!
The youths who stayed up to harvest the beads slowed down on the second day, while Ye Chen, after a night\'s rest, hadn\'t slowed down at all in his harvesting on the second day. In fact, with further cultivation of his True Qi and Martial Skills, his speed increased once more!
On the second day, Ye Chen even collected several hundred thousand more Golden Light Beads than he had on the first day!
Then came the third day, the fourth day...
Ye Chen\'s speed of harvesting Golden Light Beads became faster and faster, and more and more beads entered the Ethereal Spirit Ring on his thumb.
In the end, even the Spirit of the Sacred Artifact dared not guess just how many Golden Light Beads Ye Chen had collected.
The fifth day, the sixth day, the seventh day...
As the ten-day limit drew near, the True Qi within Ye Chen\'s body was gradually advancing toward the formation of the eighth True Qi Vortex. Especially on the eighth day, he truly entered the comprehension of "Thunder Sword Skills" within the Wind Thunder Sword Skills, delving into the understanding of the "Sword Intent of Thunder".
Also, while he was flying over the Green Flow Plains using "Wind Movement Skills", he delved into the comprehension of an even mightier "Thunder Movement Skills".
Ten days passed by as Ye Chen balanced cultivation with harvesting Golden Light Beads.
When the deadline for the ten-day collection of Golden Light Beads arrived, the thirty young cultivators who had entered the Ancestral Land Secret Realm were entirely dispersed over the vast peripheral areas of the realm.
The two furthest apart were even separated by thousands of miles!
That day, the movements of the youths still striving to harvest Golden Light Beads were suddenly restrained by a force, and soon after, the voice of the Spirit of the Sacred Artifact reached the mind of each person.
"The ten-day period is up, everyone, return to the \'Myriad Treasures Stele\'!"
With that voice, the thirty scattered youths in the peripheral regions of the Ancestral Land Secret Realm, including Ye Chen, Bai Xiaodie, Qian Ming, Ye Xue, and others, were lifted from the ground by a tremendous force and flown back to their starting point.
The Ancestral Land Secret Realm was an internal space within the Sacred Artifact "Ethereal Spirit Holy Temple", and as the spirit of the artifact, it could naturally summon everyone within its space with ease!
In almost three or four breaths\' time, under the summoning of the Spirit of the Sacred Artifact, the thirty youths were brought back and landed below the Myriad Treasures Stele!
