Ascension, Starting From The Chaos Art Of Heaven And Earth

Chapter 157: Ancient sand sea

Soon, Yang Che felt himself ‘drained’, so weak that he wanted to collapse directly onto the ground.

The Supreme Talisman in Tianxie Ziyin’s hand immediately glowed brightly.

She tightly gripped the Talisman, her eyes closed, and her Divine Sense rapidly surged in all directions.

However, very quickly, Tianxie Ziyin’s expression suddenly changed, and as the light from the Talisman in her hand rapidly dimmed, a trace of crimson blood actually spilled from the corner of her mouth.

Yang Che ignored his weakness and was about to speak with concern, but Tianxie Ziyin suddenly said urgently, “Quick, enter the Magic Stone Space.”

After speaking, her figure had already vanished without a trace, entering the Void Illusion Magic Stone Space.

After a slight stunned, Yang Che also followed suit without hesitation.

“Something’s not right. If this King’s guess is correct, our luck seems a bit poor this time; we’ve actually been teleported to the Ancient Remnant Sand Sea.”

Tianxie Ziyin said with a cold expression, wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, and sat cross-legged under the Spirit Eye Tree.

Then, after a brief moment of thought, she threw the Supreme Talisman in her hand to Yang Che: “This Supreme Talisman, given your current Cultivation, can still be used several times. I’ll give it to you.”

Yang Che took the Talisman and carefully put it away, but frowned and asked, “Zi Yin, are you alright? What is the ‘Ancient Remnant Sand Sea’ you just mentioned…?”

If he remembered correctly, this was the first time Tianxie Ziyin had actively told him to immediately enter the Void Illusion Magic Stone Space without finding a safe place first.

“Don’t worry, this King is fine. It’s just that a part of my Divine Sense was severed, and the recovery efforts I made earlier were all in vain.”

As Tianxie Ziyin spoke, her expression remained indifferent.

Then she frowned slightly, paused, and then continued: “The Ancient Remnant Sand Sea is a special relic where descendants of ancient Cultivators gather.”

“Descendants of ancient Cultivators?”

Yang Che was surprised.

“That’s right. According to the currently known Cultivation eras, they can be traced back to the Primordial, Ancient, Antiquity, and current eras. The Sand Sea Relic is a special relic opened up by some ancient Cultivators. It is said that they have lived and reproduced there for generations. They generally do not actively leave this place, and people from outside can hardly find this place at all.”

Upon hearing this, Yang Che’s heart stirred, and he immediately pressed further: “Then, does that mean the Ancient Remnant Sand Sea is likely to have preserved the state of the ancient or even antiquity Cultivation World?”

Tianxie Ziyin was silent for a moment, then said: “In the era where this King resided, this Ancient Remnant Sand Sea indeed bore the appearance of the ancient Cultivation World. However, now, after such a long passage of time, whether this Ancient Remnant Sand Sea has changed or not is unknown.

However, when this King’s Divine Sense swept across a radius of ten thousand li just now, I can confirm that, like the Antiquity era, this place is extremely dangerous, the outer environment is extremely harsh, and there are many ancient Yao Beasts. If one does not have Golden Core Stage Cultivation, it would be difficult to even preserve one’s life.”

Upon hearing this, Yang Che’s heart tightened: “Even Golden Core Stage can only barely preserve their lives?”

“That’s right. The strength of the ancient Yao Beasts here is at least Level Five Yao Beasts, comparable to the Early Golden Core Stage. Just now, this King’s Divine Sense was severed by an Eleventh Level Soul Transformation Stage Yao Beast that had completely transformed into human form and was virtually indistinguishable from a human Cultivator.”

Saying this, a hint of ruthlessness suddenly flashed in Tianxie Ziyin’s eyes: “How dare it sever this King’s Divine Sense? Hmph, once this King recovers, I will capture it and refine it into a Yao Beast puppet.”

“However, this King’s recovery is truly too slow. Yang Che, there is a Level Six ancient Yao Beast outside right now, constantly hovering in this area. You now have two choices. First, continue Cultivating the Ancient God Art in this Void Illusion Magic Stone Space, at least until your Physical Body’s defensive strength reaches a level where even a Level Seven Yao Beast cannot break through, and then go out.

Second, you can Cultivate together with this King. This King has a secret method that can transfer all the Ancient God Power you gain from Cultivation into this King’s body. Once this King recovers to a certain extent, I will go and slay that Eleventh Level Soul Transformation Yao Beast, seize an Oasis, and then settle down in this Ancient Remnant Sand Sea, fully assisting you in Core Formation.”

After listening to Tianxie Ziyin, Yang Che immediately fell into a brief contemplation.

“Zi Yin, then let’s Cultivate together. After all, even if I reach Core Formation, I can only barely preserve my life. It’s better to let you recover to a certain strength. If we can truly settle down, then I can also focus on Core Formation matters with peace of mind.”

Yang Che quickly made this decision.

Tianxie Ziyin seemed not too surprised by Yang Che’s choice. After a faint glance at him, she said, “The dilapidated stone palace outside is very secluded, so it’s unlikely any Cultivators can find it; otherwise, the Ancient Teleportation Array would have been discovered long ago. So, the Magic Stone Space currently has no risk of exposure. Next, let’s Cultivate with peace of mind.”

Yang Che nodded.

Then Tianxie Ziyin pointed beside her and said, “Come and sit.”

Yang Che looked, wasn't this a bit too close to Tianxie Ziyin?

However, he did not show any timidity and walked over generously to sit down.

Immediately, a very pleasant scent emanated from Tianxie Ziyin, making Yang Che slightly intoxicated.

However, his expression remained calm, showing no unusual signs.

Tianxie Ziyin’s expression was serious, and she quickly informed Yang Che of the ‘secret method’.

Subsequently, the two sat cross-legged facing each other, raised their arms, palms facing each other, and quickly entered a state of Cultivation.

Time flew by like a white steed, passing in the blink of an eye.

The two of them Cultivated for a full six years.

It wasn’t until the roots of the Spirit Eye Tree secreted essence that Tianxie Ziyin reminded Yang Che to quickly collect it, and only then did the two of them end their Cultivation.

Yang Che’s Physical Body improved slightly, but the improvement was very small, because almost all the Ancient God Power he had painstakingly Cultivated was ‘absorbed’ by Tianxie Ziyin.

Meanwhile, Tianxie Ziyin’s originally very weak body gradually recovered a lot.

After Yang Che extremely carefully placed the emerald green, slightly white jade-colored ‘essence’ into the jade bottle, he finally let out a long sigh of relief.

Perhaps it was because the Spiritual Soil was Profound Rank, but the Spirit Eye Tree had now grown to over ten feet tall, with lush branches and leaves.

This time, the ‘essence’ flowing from the roots filled a large jade bottle.

With one of the three main Materials for refining the Essence Stabilizing Pill resolved, Yang Che was in a rather good mood.

Now, the Spiritual Qi in the Void Illusion Magic Stone Space was becoming increasingly dense, and the originally crimson mountains and rivers were gradually beginning to turn green.

After they continued to Cultivate for another two years, on this day, Tianxie Ziyin suddenly withdrew her arms and said with a hint of disdain and arrogance:

“That’s enough. With the Ancient God Power you’ve exerted yourself to Cultivate over these eight years, plus this King’s Talisman, seizing an Oasis shouldn’t be a problem. However, before getting close to the Oasis, this King will still remain in the Magic Stone Space. It will be hard on you to find a way to get as close as possible.”

“Mm.”

Yang Che nodded.

He was confident that with Stealth Technique, Wind Severing Shadow, and Flash Cloud Boots, if he didn’t provoke any living beings and just secretly approached the Oasis, it shouldn’t be a difficult task.

Upon exiting the Magic Stone Space, Yang Che was immediately hit by the raging sandstorm, which made it difficult for him to open his eyes.
