Checking in for 100,000 Years Chapter 1030: Yin and Yang Old Ghost, Mysterious Demon Dragon

“Wherever the black and white energy orb passes, all the vines wither away. It’s truly unbelievable…”
“Impressive, truly impressive!”
“Where on earth did this person come from?”
On the Celestial Boat, the disciples of the Ninth Hall engaged in fervent discussion, their gazes fixed with eagerness upon the ethereal white-clad figure standing at the bow, each displaying profound admiration.
Particularly the burly man from the Monster Clan, who had ventured to the Grey Mist Sea – the disciple surnamed Liao – his eyes were alight with incredulous wonder as he observed Ye Yun.
Even cultivators in the Divine Monarch Realm, or God Venerable Realm for that matter, found themselves without effective means to combat these colossal vines, resorting solely to brute force.
Progress was painstakingly slow, inch by agonizing inch.
Yet, this young monk, merely at the Third Level of the True God Realm, had effortlessly vanquished all the encroaching vines.
The method he employed was utterly inconceivable.
It had drastically expedited the Ninth Hall’s advance.
To put it mildly, they had been crawling, but now they were soaring.
“Master, why does this divine technique exhibit such a miraculous effect?”
The disciple surnamed Liao approached Cang Ming, unable to suppress his curiosity as he inquired in a hushed tone.
“This profound cultivation technique was acquired by him quite by chance. It is said to originate from the Yin Yang Cave… observe those two orbs, black and white. Do they not bear a striking resemblance to the Yin and Yang storm?”
Cang Ming’s eyes gleamed as he stated with gravity.
“Indeed, they do!”
The disciple surnamed Liao nodded in agreement.
“Within the Yin Yang Cave, all manner of terrifying celestial phenomena and bizarre creatures are born from the primal essence, which is nothing more than chaotic Yin-Yang energy.
This energy predominantly exists in a disordered state, growing wildly and savagely, which has led to the current predicament. His cultivation technique, however, serves to pacify and harmonize these Yin-Yang energies. Once balance is restored, all will return to tranquility.
This approach is entirely independent of one’s cultivation base…”
Cang Ming elaborated slowly.
A sense of inexplicable admiration was evident in the depths of his gaze as he looked towards the white-clad figure ahead.
Gu Anran, the senior brother, possessed a cultivation base that was not particularly high, yet he had resolved a significant predicament for them.
The exploration of the Yin Yang Cave by the Ten Thousand Monster God Temple had been a near all-out effort, with them lingering in this area for months without nearing its completion.
Now, with this individual’s assistance, they could proceed unhindered into the Yin Yang Cave in pursuit of the legendary supreme opportunity.
The profound mysteries of the Yin Yang Cave were undeniable.
Throughout their journey, the Ten Thousand Monster God Temple had unearthed numerous celestial materials and rare treasures. While their gains were substantial, the Nine Great Hall Masters of the Temple had almost unanimously concluded that even more formidable opportunities lay concealed deeper within the Yin Yang Cave.
Should such an opportunity be seized, the strength of the Ten Thousand Monster God Temple would experience a truly transformative leap.
Consequently, this expedition had been undertaken with maximum commitment, nearly staking all of the Temple’s assets.
While Cang Ming was lost in contemplation.
The Celestial Boat beneath him glided swiftly and gracefully over the boundless expanse of vines.
“Alright, we’re finally out.”
Ye Yun offered a slight smile, his gaze fixed on the small world that lay ahead, boasting green mountains and clear waters under a brilliant sun. He drew in a deep breath, his face suffused with a sense of exhilaration.
Whoosh!
The two energy orbs, one black and one white, whistled through the air and halted directly above Ye Yun’s head.
At this juncture, the black and white energy orbs had indeed lost their Yin-Yang equilibrium.
Were Ye Yun not possessing exceptionally strong control, they would have spiraled into chaos.
Such a loss of control, if it were to detonate, could potentially trigger the terrifying celestial phenomena characteristic of the Yin Yang Cave.
Perhaps, like falling dominoes, it could instigate localized disruptions of Yin-Yang energy within the cave, culminating in an even more calamitous scenario.
“Senior brother, isn’t this white energy orb a bit excessively large?”
Gu Anran tilted his head upwards, his gaze fixed on the colossal white orb, a staggering thousand zhang in diameter, his expression one of pure astonishment.
In contrast, the black orb appeared as a mere speck, minuscule and seemingly insignificant.
“It is indeed quite large, but as it absorbs more negative energy in the future, it will become considerably more balanced…”
Ye Yun replied with a sheepish grin.
It was fortunate that he was no ordinary individual; not only did he possess a high cultivation realm, but his power was also exceptionally robust, enabling him to maintain control over these volatile black and white orbs.
…
Within the mystical realm.
Observing the immense white orb, the enigmatic figure could not help but utter a curse.
“This brat is truly a monster! Dammit, he’s practically playing with fire. Had it been anyone else, they would have perished by now!”
After a few choice curses, his inner agitation gradually subsided.
“This kid does possess some talent; the Yin-Yang Reverse Jue, which others find immensely difficult to cultivate, should pose no significant challenge for him…”
A hushed utterance escaped the lips of the enigmatic figure.
"Yin and Yang Old Ghost, is that cultivator in the True God Realm outside your disciple?"
A frigid voice suddenly pierced the mystical confines.
"You Demon Dragon, if you dare to scheme against that kid, I swear I will not let you off!"
The mysterious individual proclaimed with great anger.
"We have been locked in combat for what must be eons, both of us severely injured. Is it truly necessary for us to persist in this struggle?"
The concealed, mysterious demon dragon inquired with a frigid tone.
"What is this Demon Dragon scheming? It merely desires the Yin-Yang Pearl, does it not? To the abyss with your dreams!"
The mysterious figure retorted, his voice laced with fury.
The mysterious demon dragon let out a derisive scoff. "The Yin-Yang Pearl was annihilated eons ago. It holds no value to me whatsoever. You, old ghost, are deluding yourself!"
"Nonsense! Though the Yin-Yang Pearl is fractured, its might remains immense, serving as the very nexus for the Yin Yang Cave's grand formation! Damnation, it's not just you who covets the Yin-Yang Pearl; even your mother desired it when she perished!"
The mysterious figure unleashed a chilling laugh.
"Yin and Yang Old Ghost, had you not conveniently turned a blind eye back then, how could my mother have met her end?"
The mysterious demon dragon bellowed with rage.
"I could barely ensure my own survival; how then could I have possibly rescued your mother? To have intervened would have irrevocably damaged the very essence of the Yin-Yang Pearl, a price far too steep for me to bear!"
The mysterious figure stated with icy composure.
"Yin and Yang Old Ghost, rest assured, the Yin-Yang Pearl under your dominion will inevitably fall into my grasp. Just await that fated day!"
The mysterious demon dragon unexpectedly let out a sneer, its voice gradually receding into silence.
Once the sound had entirely vanished.
The mysterious figure turned, his gaze once more fixing upon the Bronze Treasure Box.
The Demon Dragon had spoken at length, yet failed to utter a single word concerning the Bronze Treasure Box.
This observation led to the conclusion that, during its slumber, the Demon Dragon had remained oblivious to the existence of the Bronze Treasure Box.
Indeed, this constituted exceptionally welcome tidings.
Presently, the utmost priority was to devise a method for breaching the Bronze Treasure Box, thereby ascertaining if the Yin-Yang Pearl could be successfully mended.
Upon its successful restoration, the formation could be wielded in its entirety, its formidable power unleashed to eradicate the menacing Demon Dragon.
"Open!"
The mysterious figure bellowed, his claws raking at the Bronze Treasure Box, exerting his absolute maximum effort in an attempt to pry it open.
Nevertheless, the Bronze Treasure Box remained stubbornly immobile.
The immense strength he directed towards the Bronze Treasure Box met the same fate as a mud-caked ox plunging into the sea, vanishing without a discernible trace.
"How can such an extraordinary treasure possibly exist in this world?"
After a prolonged period of exertion, the mysterious figure finally relinquished his efforts, a sense of frustration palpable.
He now had to concede that breaching the Bronze Treasure Box was beyond his capabilities.
"In that event, my course of action shall be to apprehend that cultivator at the Third Level of the True God Realm..."
A glint of cold light flickered within his eyes, and as these words left his lips, a colossal hand extended outwards towards the world beyond.
