Checking in for 100,000 Years Chapter 1037: Half-step Super God Level Divine Artifact

"Artifact Spirit?"

Ye Yun noticed the elder's ethereal form, his expression subtly shifting.

So, it was an Artifact Spirit!

This was an exceptionally rare occurrence.

Typically, divine-level treasures found it exceedingly challenging to manifest an Artifact Spirit.

And this particular Artifact Spirit possessed a considerable cultivation base. Judging by the aura it currently emitted, it had already achieved the Divine Sovereign Realm.

For an Artifact Spirit to reach such a level, its vessel was undoubtedly an extraordinary treasure as well.

"You brat, you certainly have some discernment. To recognize me as an Artifact Spirit at first glance..."

The Yin and Yang Old Ghost's eyes blazed as he fixed his gaze upon Ye Yun, clicking his tongue in admiration.

This youth clad in white martial robes only possessed a cultivation base at the Third Level of the True God Realm, yet his perception was remarkably sharp, much to the old ghost's surprise.

Under normal circumstances, young cultivators at the True God Realm would encounter immense difficulty in coming into contact with divine-level treasures.

Even if they were to stumble upon such a treasure—

Items capable of birthing an Artifact Spirit were as scarce as phoenix feathers, and it was highly improbable that he would have had any dealings with them.

"Senior, are you the proprietor of this Yin-Yang Cave?"

Gu Anran blinked, a radiant smile gracing her delicate features.

"That is correct, I am indeed the master of the Yin-Yang Cave!"

The Yin and Yang Old Ghost's eyes held a profound depth, with his hands clasped behind his back, exuding an air of mastery.

"Senior, we have both cultivated the Yin-Yang Reverse Jue; by rights, shouldn't we be considered your successors?"

Gu Anran inquired with a playful smirk.

Upon hearing his junior sister utter these words, Ye Yun couldn't help but shake his head gently.

He had a clear understanding of this young girl's intentions.

Her aim was to first establish their connection, hoping that the master of the Yin-Yang Cave would view them differently and treat them with leniency.

One had to concede that this young girl had certainly put considerable thought into this strategy.

"Successors?"

The Yin and Yang Old Ghost pointed a finger at Ye Yun, letting out a faint chuckle. "He qualifies, but you do not!"

Gu Anran: "..."

At this precise moment, the young girl felt utterly deflated by the Yin and Yang Old Ghost's pronouncement.

Ye Yun felt a surge of displeasure.

Damn it!

This ancient fellow dared to address his junior sister in such a manner, clearly ignorant of the concept of 'death'.

"Old ghost, how can you speak to my junior sister in such a way? My junior sister's ability to cultivate the Yin-Yang Reverse Jue is a blessing resulting from countless lifetimes of fortune for you, and yet you dare to claim she lacks potential?"

Ye Yun raised an eyebrow, his tone laced with sternness.

This barrage of words caused the ambient temperature to plummet abruptly.

"Hmm?"

The Yin and Yang Old Ghost narrowed his eyes, gazing at Ye Yun with disbelief.

Wasn't this young fellow, currently in the True God Realm, perhaps a touch too audacious?

To utter such rebellious words directly before him, did he not desire to continue living?

"Are you addressing me, old man?"

The Yin and Yang Old Ghost's heart seethed with murderous intent, his face contorting into a grim visage, as if it could drip water.

"Old ghost, I am indeed speaking to you!"

Ye Yun retorted with a cold, cutting laugh.

Witnessing her senior brother's confrontation with the Yin and Yang Old Ghost, Gu Anran became extremely frightened, hastily tugging on Ye Yun's sleeve.

"Senior brother, please refrain from speaking further..."

"Junior sister, we have no need to fear him. This old specter is merely posturing; he wouldn't dare lay a hand on us!"

Ye Yun declared with a lighthearted laugh.

"Do you believe... that I could obliterate the both of you into mere mincemeat with a single palm strike?"

The Yin and Yang Old Ghost, his expression stony, slowly elevated his right hand.

An immense and oppressive aura instantly bore down upon them.

Ye Yun remained perfectly still, single-handedly bearing the weight of the potent aura.

His junior sister felt absolutely nothing.

"Old ghost, care to give it a try?"

Ye Yun chuckled softly, his gaze filled with potent mockery.

"I..."

The Yin and Yang Old Ghost's expression became rigid, his raised hand frozen, unable to descend.

This youth in white robes represented his sole hope for the restoration of the Yin-Yang Pearl.

If he were to strike him down now, when would the Yin-Yang Pearl ever be revitalized?

The Yin Yang Refining Virtual Dragon, lurking outside, constantly kept its attention fixed on the Yin-Yang Pearl, denying it any opportunity for recovery.

Over the span of countless millennia, the two entities had engaged in numerous battles, each encounter further diminishing the Yin-Yang Pearl's potency.

He had no desire for this destructive cycle to persist.

Otherwise.

Ultimately, neither party would achieve any favorable outcome.

"Old ghost, where have you concealed my Bronze Treasure Box?"

Ye Yun casually surveyed his surroundings.

"Remarkably astute, to discern that it was my doing which pilfered your Bronze Treasure Box!"

The Yin and Yang Old Ghost scoffed coldly.

With a sudden flick of his wrist, the Bronze Treasure Box materialized from another dimension into their present location.

"Old ghost, relying on your formidable cultivation, have you managed to breach the contents of this Bronze Treasure Box?"

Ye Yun taunted.

No!

The Yin and Yang Old Ghost glared fiercely, his voice filled with helplessness.

I brought you here for the purpose of opening the Bronze Treasure Box and fully restoring the Yin-Yang Pearl!

As the words left his mouth, the surroundings spun, and they were transported into an entirely different space.

Within this new realm, a bead of black and white light pulsed with an ethereal glow, suspended in the vast emptiness.

The Yin-Yang Pearl?

Ye Yun’s gaze fell upon the Yin-Yang Pearl, his eyes flickering with an intense, flame-like light.

Even with its power diminished to the level of a Lower God Rank item, this treasure still emanated an aura of immense power that Ye Yun could feel.

This is the Yin-Yang Pearl—it is my very being! If you can mend it using the Bronze Treasure Box, I shall bestow upon you an unparalleled fortune!

Ye Yun arched an eyebrow. What manner of fortune are you referring to?

Your junior sister possesses a rather poor aptitude. Should she aspire to cultivate the Yin-Yang Reverse Jue, the path would be fraught with extreme difficulty. My Yin-Yang Pearl can furnish her with a sliver of its origin power, thereby facilitating her success in cultivation...

The Yin and Yang Old Ghost spoke with measured tones. At this juncture, the muscles in his face contorted, betraying a flicker of pain.

Even parting with a mere trace of its origin power was a difficult concession for him.

Although he spoke of it, his true intentions were far from such generosity.

The concept of using someone and then discarding them was a familiar tune to an ancient being who had witnessed the passage of an era.

Merely a trace of origin power?

Ye Yun’s eyes gleamed, and he inquired with a soft chuckle.

Isn’t a single trace of origin power more than sufficient? For this young lady at the True God Realm First Level, it is more than enough!

The Yin and Yang Old Ghost retorted with palpable fury.

This young cultivator, clad in white, who stood at the True God Realm Third Level, had displayed an utterly insolent attitude from their very first encounter. It seemed he genuinely believed he held the upper hand.

Is it merely because he possesses extraordinary talent in cultivating the Yin-Yang Reverse Jue? What reason is there for such arrogance?

Were it not for his current need for this individual, the Yin and Yang Old Ghost would never have lowered himself to such a subservient demeanor.

A trace of origin power is not adequate; perhaps if it were a hundredfold greater, then we could discuss it...

Ye Yun chuckled.

What?

A hundredfold?

The Yin and Yang Old Ghost was utterly dumbfounded.

He fixed his gaze upon Ye Yun, his eyes burning with rage, a palpable desire to simply devour the young cultivator.

This demand was simply beyond excessive.

Such an exorbitant request was utterly unacceptable to him.

This Yin-Yang Pearl is no common divine-level treasure; each and every fragment of its origin is imbued with extraordinary power.

Not a common divine-level treasure? Then what is it?

Have you ever heard of the Super God Level?

The Yin and Yang Old Ghost’s brow furrowed as he spoke with grave solemnity.

The phrase “Super God Level” carried an immense and profound significance.

Upon hearing “Super God Level,” Gu Anran, standing beside Ye Yun, was also struck with astonishment.

Could this black and white Yin-Yang Pearl truly be a treasure of the Super God Level?

Super God Level—it was a term she had never encountered before.

However, as the name suggested, she could intuitively grasp the implication of its power.

I have heard of it.

Ye Yun replied with a smile.

Kid, this Yin-Yang Pearl—it is a half-step Super God Level artifact!

The Yin and Yang Old Ghost declared loudly, his tone brimming with an overwhelming sense of pride!
