A technologically powerful nation: The national treasure is actually myself.

Yueyou pondered for a moment.

Lin Yang's breakthrough speed was somewhat beyond her expectations.

However, this is definitely a good thing.

Immediately, she said, "There is a power in the vortex beneath me that has reached the Dao. There should be a special entity at the bottom of the vortex. The two powers maintain a delicate balance."

"If I want to escape, it's not difficult. You can use the power of the Dao to join in, forming a three-way balance, and I can leave the vortex in the process."

Lin Yang couldn't help but ask, "Is this all there is to it?"

“Yes, but you might encounter some trouble. Both of these forces are very subtle. Once a new force joins in, you might suffer an unimaginable impact. If the impact is too strong, you will definitely be injured,” Yueyou said slowly.

Lin Yang waved his hand dismissively: "It's alright, getting out of trouble is the most important thing."

"Then, listen to me count down from three." Yue You didn't say anything more, took a deep breath, and began to count down.

Lin Yang immediately began to prepare with all his might.

"three."

"two.

"one."

"Inject power!"

Buzz!
The moment Lin Yang heard those words, he immediately poured all his power into the vortex.

Boom boom boom!
With the injection of new power, the vortex instantly erupted with a loud roar, and an even more violent force rebounded back at Lin Yang.

"The force of the rebound is so strong." Lin Yang's face flushed slightly.

The power above the Dao violently shook him, causing his blood and qi to surge.

And this was only the first wave of backlash.

The power beneath the vortex also rebounded against Lin Yang himself.

The alternating vibrations of the two higher-level forces caused Lin Yang's body to tremble uncontrollably.

"Fortunately, it wasn't a simultaneous shockwave from both forces, otherwise I might not have been able to withstand it," Lin Yang thought with a sigh.

Yueyou gazed intently at the bottom of the vortex.

"Senior Yue, when can we be freed?" Lin Yang asked, seeing that Yue You had not made any move.

He was subjected to the shockwave from the collision of the two forces, which was really unpleasant.

Yueyou didn't look up, but asked in a clear voice, "How much longer do you think you can hold on?"

"Well... it's hard to say. If my power doesn't increase any further, I can probably hold on until my own Dao power is exhausted." Lin Yang frowned.

"Can you increase your power a bit more?" Yueyou countered.

"Strengthen power?" Lin Yang was taken aback. "Senior Yue, do you mean I should strengthen the injection of power?"

“Yes!” Yueyou nodded.

"If I increase my strength, the force of the recoil will increase exponentially, and then I'm afraid I won't be able to hold out for long," Lin Yang warned.

“I know that if you can bear it, you should slowly increase your strength.”

Yueyou finally looked up at Lin Yang and said solemnly:

"Until you reach your limit, and then, at the right opportunity, jump into the whirlpool!"

"Huh?" Lin Yang was immediately taken aback.

Jump into the vortex?

This is to...

"Don't worry, I won't harm you. There's a special entity at the bottom of this vortex that I've been trying to sense for years. If we work together, we should be able to explore it and perhaps gain something great," Yueyou said.

"Senior Yue, that's not what I meant..." Lin Yang said, both amused and exasperated.

He certainly believed in Yueyou.

It's just a bit strange that instead of escaping, we're being drawn into a vortex.

But now that Yueyou has explained, he didn't ask any more questions and began to continuously strengthen his power according to Yueyou's instructions.

as predicted.

As more force is injected, the force recoil at the bottom of the vortex also increases exponentially.

Lin Yang felt his internal organs begin to be impacted.

After a moment, he had to speak:
"Senior Yue, my power can only go so far. If I increase it any further, I won't be able to withstand the backlash."

"Is this the only way?" Yueyou frowned slightly. "It still doesn't feel quite right. We can't open the portal to that special entity."

"Isn't that enough?" Lin Yang was also surprised, and then said, "How about we explore again later?"

Yueyou shook her head directly: "No, if we miss this opportunity, the thing at the bottom of the vortex will no longer be in this position, and without the balance of the vortex's power, we probably won't be able to open the portal to enter it. We only have this one chance."

Lin Yang immediately understood: "Senior Yue, do you mean that we mainly need to rely on the power of the vortex to open the portal to that special entity?"

"Yes, our strength is too weak to open its portal. We need to borrow the power of this vortex. This opportunity is extremely rare. If we miss it, we may not be able to find the portal of that special entity again, and even if we do find it, we may not be able to open it."

Yue Youyou said softly.

Over the years, she has been sensing and researching something, and this opportunity to achieve balance may only come once in a lifetime.

Lin Yang understood how rare this opportunity was, and was once again surprised.

He has already reached a level comparable to the Dao.

But Yueyou said the power was too weak?
"Lin Yang, can you hold on a little longer, or give it your all one more time? If it really doesn't work, we'll have to give up," Yue You said slowly.

Lin Yang pondered for a moment and said, "In that case, I will exert all my strength to create a shockwave."

“Okay!” Yueyou nodded.

Lin Yang said no more and took out the Silver Dragon Spear under Yue You's surprised gaze.

"A Venerable-level Dao Weapon? You actually have a Venerable-level Dao Weapon?" Yue You was quite surprised when she saw this.

"It was a gift from a Daoist named Qingyuan after I conquered the Dao Inquiry Pavilion," Lin Yang explained. At the same time, he added, "Senior Yue, I am now using all my strength to shake myself. If it is unavoidable, you should escape directly. I am afraid that the power of the shaking is too strong and will affect your escape."

"Alright, try attacking with all your might." Yue You also became serious.

Keng!
Without saying a word, Lin Yang transformed his Silver Dragon Spear into a streak of light and pierced fiercely into the center of the vortex!

Boom boom boom boom!
An even more intense roar erupted from within the vortex.

The vortex also began to become unstable, with power leaking out and sweeping towards Lin Yang.

Wherever the power leaking from the vortex splashed out, space itself was torn apart.

"This power..." Lin Yang's expression changed immediately.

His full-force attack couldn't tear apart the space above the Heart of the Extreme Sea, yet this mere wisp of power from the vortex was enough to easily tear it apart.

Only at this moment did he truly realize how powerful the vortex was.

"Previously, it had reached a delicate balance with the special entity at the bottom of the vortex, which made the power appear so peaceful. In reality, the power of this vortex is enough to instantly kill those above the Dao level."

Lin Yang felt a chill run down his spine and instantly conjured a flower from the realm to protect himself.

"Lin Yang, this is working! Fire a few more shots!"

Yueyou's voice also came at this moment.

Lin Yang dared not hesitate and thrust out several more times.

At the bottom of the vortex, a sliver of peculiar light finally seeped out, accompanied by a tearing force that sucked everything around it.

"Lin Yang, now's the time! Enter the vortex and don't resist the suction!"

Yueyou shouted loudly, and instead of retreating, she charged towards the bottom of the vortex.

Lin Yang followed immediately.

hum!
hum!
hum!
A tearing force came, and at the same time, a strange power echoed in my mind.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Yang felt a dizziness and lost consciousness.

……

"Lin Yang, wake up."

I don’t know how long.

In a daze, Lin Yang heard someone calling his name.

A surge of power then flowed into his body, restoring some of his consciousness.

Then, he suddenly opened his eyes and saw Yue You standing in front of him.

"Senior Yue, what happened to me..." Lin Yang was utterly horrified. He had actually fainted?

How could he possibly faint now?
"Your final strike was successful, but you were also countered by the combined force of the vortex and the power of this place. The force was too strong, causing you to faint."

Yueyou explained, then said with some excitement, "But we succeeded. We successfully entered that portal. This is the space inside that special place."

Lin Yang then looked around and asked in surprise, "Is this... a cemetery?"

Everywhere his eyes fell were graves.

However, it is different from an ordinary grave.

Each grave exudes a strange and powerful force, seemingly to prevent others from destroying it.

"This should be an entrance to the Ancient Origin Void Domain!"

Yueyou's eyes were piercing as she lowered her voice and said, "Lin Yang, we might be about to strike it rich this time."

"The Ancient Origin Void Domain? What kind of place is that?" Lin Yang asked, also puzzled. "Developed? What's so developed about it?"

Yueyou's eyes flickered slightly: "The Origin Void Ancient Domain is a place from a distant era, very ancient, so ancient that it's hard to trace. You'll learn about it later. As for its development..."

Yueyou pointed to the rows of graves:
“Every tomb here is the tomb of a powerful figure from ancient times. Some of the burial objects are priceless treasures. Even if we can collect just a little bit, it will be enough to make us rich!”

"Uh... tomb raiding?" Lin Yang blinked involuntarily.

"Tomb raiding? You could say that." Yueyou nodded.

Lin Yang remained silent.

Yueyou then said, "Don't think of this as too simple. You've felt the power on those tombs, haven't you? It's extremely strong. If you can't break through them, you don't even have the qualifications to rob tombs."

Lin Yang sensed it again and said, "Senior Yue, I feel that I can't break into any of these tombs."

Yes, that's right.

Even though his current power is comparable to that of the Dao, he feels that he cannot even break through a tomb here.

Even the smallest-looking tomb cannot be broken by the power surrounding it.

Yueyou smiled gently: "Above the Dao? It's nothing here. Breaking the tomb will be difficult, but I have my own way."

"Huh?" Lin Yang was immediately surprised.

How could Yueyou possibly have a way to break into a tomb?

Even he can't do it!

"Senior Yue, you..."

Lin Yang hesitated for a moment.

Yueyou said she was halfway to the Dao, but it doesn't seem that simple.

Moreover, they know too much.

This is all very strange.

“During these years of being trapped, I have also made some breakthroughs.” Yueyou didn’t say much, but instead started picking and choosing.

Yes.

They began to select from the piles of graves.

They appear to be selecting items.

Finally, she stopped in front of a grave that was neither too big nor too small, and said:
"Let's go with this one. We can't break into any other large tombs right now, but hopefully we can get something out of it."

After saying that, she looked at Lin Yang and said, "Lend me your Venerable-level Dao Weapon."

"Okay." Without saying a word, Lin Yang handed the Silver Dragon Spear to Yue You.

Holding the Silver Dragon Spear, Yueyou weighed it briefly and said calmly, "It's just an ordinary Venerable-level weapon, but it's enough."

laugh!
As soon as she finished speaking, Yueyou thrust out with her spear.

Rumble!
In an instant, a terrifying force rose from above the tomb, and the entire space roared violently.

"This is……"

Lin Yang was taken aback by what he saw.

Yueyou's power seems stronger than his!

This is definitely not an illusion!
"Could it be that Senior Yueyou has also broken through to the Dao level in recent years?" Lin Yang wondered to himself.

Yueyou, however, kept thrusting her spear at a spatial coordinate above the tomb.

In a mere instant, hundreds of thousands of spears were thrust out!

Although he didn't use any mysterious spear techniques, just a simple thrust, the power of that hard thrust still shocked Lin Yang.

scoff!

Finally, at a certain moment, a crack appeared in that space.

The tomb began to shake violently, and then it felt as if it were about to fly away completely from its original location.

This feeling made Lin Yang feel very strange.

It's as if this tomb is trying to escape!

A grave is trying to escape?

This feeling was extremely strange.

Then Lin Yang realized that this was not his imagination.

The grave actually rose from the ground, as if it were trying to escape.

"Hmph, stay here!"

A cold, clear voice suddenly rang out.

At the same time, an indescribable power descended upon Lin Yang, forcefully enveloping the tomb.

"town!"

With a soft shout, Yueyou caused the tomb, which had almost flown away from its original spot, to return to its original location intact.

"This power..."

Lin Yang was completely stunned.

The power that Yueyou wielded was both strange and powerful.

call.

The instant the tomb returned to its original position, an invisible will suddenly appeared, gazing at Yueyou.

Yueyou met his gaze.

The latter suddenly said something to Yue You that Lin Yang couldn't quite understand:

"An ancient companion? You haven't fallen into slumber??"

"No, that's not right. Your condition... something's not right. Who are you? Why have you disturbed my slumber?"

Yueyou's expression remained unchanged as she said in a deep voice, "Since you're already dead, may you rest in peace. There are some things you shouldn't know. I'm here to borrow your belongings; you shouldn't have any objections, right?"

Yueyou said it was a loan, but in reality, she had already begun collecting the items inside the tomb.

The will is silent.

“Ancient companion, you will suffer a great backlash. I advise you to slumber in eternal silence.”

A moment later, the will emitted only a long sigh, and then fell silent, seemingly tacitly approving Yueyou's actions.

Yueyou didn't say anything more, but simply reached out and took out a tattered suit of armor from the tomb.

The armor appears to be male, but it's incomplete, and only half of it, covering only the upper body.

"So poor?" Yueyou frowned again.

Wow.

Then, with a flick of her wrist, Yueyou tossed the half-broken suit of armor to Lin Yang:
"Never mind, keep it. You might need it in the future."

"Uh..." Lin Yang subconsciously took it, and looked at Yue You with a somewhat hesitant expression.

The mysterious will just now referred to Yueyou as an ancient companion.

They also said that Yueyou's condition was not right.

This made him very surprised and suspicious.

What does this form of address mean?
What era or what kind of being was Yueyou?
He wanted to ask, but Yueyou didn't seem inclined to answer, only saying:
"Don't tell anyone about what happened today." (End of Chapter)
