Checking in for 100,000 Years Chapter 1045: Divine Level Top Quality, Shadow Armor

Kneeling upon the ground, the Yin Yang Refining Virtual Dragon clutched the Yin-Yang Pearl with trembling hands, his visage etched with profound astonishment.

He had never in his wildest dreams anticipated that Ancestor Dragon would deign to bestow such a treasure upon him.

For an extended period, the Yin Yang Refining Virtual Dragon had found himself ensnared at the cusp of the God King Realm. Yet, with the advent of the Yin-Yang Pearl, his path to advancement was now clear, promising an effortless breakthrough.

"This Yin-Yang Pearl... its utility for me is limited. You, however, have been lingering in the half-step God King Realm for some time. With this, you shall ascend swiftly!"

Ye Yun's resonant voice echoed in the mind of the Yin Yang Refining Virtual Dragon.

"My deepest gratitude to you, Ancestor Dragon!"

A surge of elation coursed through the Yin Yang Refining Virtual Dragon's heart, and he offered several profound kowtows in tribute.

Without delay.

He promptly assumed a cross-legged posture, the Yin-Yang Pearl held securely within his grasp. Utilizing the distinct divine techniques unique to the Yin Yang Refining Virtual Dragon lineage, he commenced the absorption of the Yin-Yang origin Qi.

Fwoosh, fwoosh...

The surrounding Qi pulsed like tempestuous ocean currents around his form, and in this very instant, his might reverberated with an astonishing ascent.

Boom!

In less time than it takes an incense stick to burn down to its embers.

A thunderous explosion accompanied a seismic tremor that wracked the Yin Yang Refining Virtual Dragon's body. In a flash, the formidable aura of the Divine King Realm erupted outwards.

"Adequate," Ye Yun murmured, a subtle smile gracing his lips as he observed the display.

The Yin Yang Refining Virtual Dragon's eyes snapped open. He rose immediately, approaching Ye Yun with utmost reverence, and presented the Yin-Yang Pearl with both hands.

"Ancestor Dragon, I have utilized the Yin-Yang Pearl to shatter the bottleneck and attain the Divine King Realm. I now return this treasure unto you..."

The Yin Yang Refining Virtual Dragon articulated, his voice still tinged with a residual tremor born of sheer exhilaration from his recent breakthrough.

"This Yin-Yang Pearl, a treasure of half-step Super God Level, is now yours to keep!"

Ye Yun declared with a gentle smile, adding, "With the aid of the Yin-Yang Pearl, it is not beyond the realm of possibility that you might one day ascend to the God Emperor Realm."

"The God Emperor Realm?"

The words struck the Yin Yang Refining Virtual Dragon dumbfounded, leaving him rooted to the spot.

He recalled whispers of this legendary realm from his mother, tales passed down through generations.

In the annals of the Ancient Era, it was said that even the formidable Ten Super Divine Dragons had not achieved this exalted state. Not a single one.

Among the countless members of the Dragon Clan, only the revered Ancestor Dragon stood as the unparalleled master of the God Emperor Realm.

Gazing at the Yin-Yang Pearl, the Yin Yang Refining Virtual Dragon inquired with a voice thick with awe, "Ancestor Dragon, could it be... that Super God Level treasures truly exist in this world?"

"Indeed, they do, though their rarity is almost unparalleled. This Yin-Yang Pearl was forged in the preceding epoch and once served as a potent artifact for a legendary Yin Yang Emperor in his quest for ultimate truth," Ye Yun explained with a lighthearted chuckle.

Hiss!

A treasure from the last era? This revelation stunned the Yin Yang Refining Virtual Dragon into a state of bewildered silence.

He had waged conflict against the Yin and Yang Old Ghost for countless years, yet remained ignorant of the ancient adversary's true lineage.

And now, the truth dawned upon him.

The Yin and Yang Old Ghost hailed from the previous era. It was no wonder he possessed such insidious cunning and base treachery.

After Ye Yun offered a few more words of counsel, the Yin Yang Refining Virtual Dragon finally accepted the Yin-Yang Pearl.

The significance of the Yin-Yang Pearl to him was immeasurable.

The very essence of the Yin Yang Refining Virtual Dragon clan's cultivation path was intrinsically linked to the principles of Yin Yang Refining.

This particular pearl could be considered as if it were meticulously crafted for his clan.

With a subtle gesture of his hand, Ye Yun dispatched a wisp of divine sense, which stealthily infiltrated the Yin Yang Refining Virtual Dragon's being.

The latter remained entirely oblivious to this ethereal intrusion.

"Your mother had mentioned to you previously that upon reaching the Divine King Realm, you were to seek out the Open Sun Galaxy, is that not so?" Ye Yun inquired, a knowing smile playing on his lips.

"Yes, that is correct, Ancestor Dragon!"

The Yin Yang Refining Virtual Dragon affirmed with a nod.

"I shall entrust you with the crucial mission of locating the Day Red Dragon."

Extending a hand, Ye Yun's expression turned solemn as he gently clasped the Yin Yang Refining Virtual Dragon's shoulder.

Overwhelmed by the honor, the Yin Yang Refining Virtual Dragon quickly bowed, professing, "I shall not falter in upholding your profound trust, Ancestor Dragon!"

"You may depart."

Ye Yun offered a parting smile, gesturing with his hand, "Currently, the Divine Soil Spirits harbor an intense animosity towards our Dragon Clan. Should your true identity be revealed, you will face relentless pursuit..."

At this juncture.

With a soft rustle, Ye Yun produced a set of pale grey armor from his hand.

"This Shadow Armor possesses the ability to mask your Dragon Clan aura. Even when confronted by an expert of the God Emperor Realm, discerning your true form will prove exceedingly difficult. Furthermore, this armor boasts exceptional resilience, ensuring your safety. Coupled with the power of the Yin-Yang Pearl, your journey should proceed without undue peril..."

Ye Yun concluded, his tone gentle and reassuring."

"Thank you, Lord Ancestor Dragon!"

The Yin Yang Refining Virtual Dragon's eyes were brimming with tears, his hands trembling as he accepted the Shadow Armor. The artifact in his grasp was revealed to be of Divine Level Top Quality, sending fresh waves of astonishment through him. He marveled at how Lord Ancestor Dragon amassed such an abundance of treasures. "You should begin refining the Shadow Armor first..." Ye Yun stated with a gentle smile. "Yes!" The Yin Yang Refining Virtual Dragon readily agreed, diligently commencing the refinement of the armor. As a cultivator in the Divine King Realm, his proficiency allowed for a swift preliminary refinement of a Divine Level Top Quality treasure. Naturally, this initial stage required more time for complete mastery. Upon completion of the refinement, the Shadow Armor materialized around him, eventually becoming translucent and seamlessly merging with his physical form. A transformation also occurred in the Yin Yang Refining Virtual Dragon's aura; the distinct Dragon Clan presence vanished, replaced by an essence akin to the Spirit of the Divine Soil. Following a few more parting words from Ye Yun, the Yin Yang Refining Virtual Dragon was respectfully escorted from the great formation's core space. Thus, the Yin Yang Refining Virtual Dragon departed. With a casual flick of his wrist, Ye Yun dissolved the spatial restriction and, with a smile, approached his junior sister. At that moment, Gu Anran remained gazing at the void above, a look of bewilderment on her face. "Senior brother, how did the Yin-Yang Pearl vanish so suddenly?" Gu Anran inquired, her voice tinged with dejection, as she noticed Ye Yun. "I've temporarily stored it away," Ye Yun replied with a grin, producing the original Yin-Yang Pearl and displaying it before the young girl. "You truly startled me; I feared something had happened again!" A wave of relief washed over Gu Anran as she placed a hand over her chest, laughing with delight. "I've currently sealed the Yin and Yang Old Ghost within the Yin-Yang Pearl and have no intentions of releasing him soon. Junior sister, let's depart from this place." Ye Yun announced cheerfully. Gu Anran nodded in agreement. A flash of light enveloped them, and the pair vanished from the core space. In the subsequent moment, the senior and junior siblings reappeared in the outer reaches of space. Through Ye Yun's deliberate guidance, the formation ceased its operations, causing all the Yin-Yang energy to dissipate and disperse. Some streams of energy transformed into peculiar celestial phenomena, while others coalesced into bizarre creatures. Within the boundless Yin Yang Cave, the heavens and earth appeared blurred, maintaining an evocative impression of chaotic Yin-Yang energies. "Senior brother, truthfully, this location is quite conducive to cultivating the Yin-Yang Reverse Jue..." Gu Anran commented, observing her surroundings with a hint of reluctance in her expression. "There's no necessity for cultivation here..." Ye Yun responded with a gentle shake of his head, raising the Yin-Yang Pearl in his hand. Buzz! The Yin-Yang Pearl vibrated subtly, unleashing a formidable suction force. The Yin-Yang Qi within the Yin Yang Cave surged with immense speed towards the Yin-Yang Pearl. "Junior sister, once we reach the Ten Thousand Monster God Temple, I shall bestow upon you some Yin-Yang origin, enabling direct cultivation," Ye Yun promised with a smile. "That sounds absolutely wonderful!" The young girl's hands clapped together, her brows arching like crescent moons, her small mouth pouting as she giggled with unbridled excitement. Witnessing his junior sister's renewed joy brought Ye Yun an immeasurable sense of contentment. Though their excursion hadn't yielded the body of the Black Ming Divine Spider, the discovery of their master represented a monumental gain. Furthermore, his own acquisitions within the Yin Yang Cave were undoubtedly substantial. Ye Yun made a firm resolve. For the foreseeable future, he would remain at the Ten Thousand Monster God Temple. With both his master and junior sister present, he experienced a profound sense of tranquility. ...
