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

I don't see what's so excellent about it...

These words made Lin Yang's lips twitch slightly.

However, isn't this a bit too direct?

Yueyou smiled gently: "He is the only newly promoted Eternal Realm cultivator in the current Reincarnation Era, and his total cultivation time is only a few million years. Isn't that outstanding enough?"

The figure spoke in a somber tone: "Only one Eternal Realm expert was born in a single cycle? This only shows that the talent pool in later generations is dwindling, and the individuals are all too incompetent."

"As for cultivating for millions of years to reach the Eternal Realm... well, it's nothing special. Back in the day..."

Yueyou interrupted him directly:

"Don't dwell on the past. Back then, there weren't many people who could reach the Eternal Realm in such a short time, were there?"

"Besides, the fact that he's someone who can still be targeted by the underworld in this day and age speaks volumes. Take a closer look."

The figure's gaze returned to Lin Yang.

This time they were clearly much more serious.

Lin Yang could feel a special force probing his body.

He couldn't resist, so he let the force flow through his body.

A moment later, the figure withdrew its gaze and said to Yue You:
What do you want?

Yueyou shrugged: "Didn't I make it very clear just now? Of course, I want the other two items!"

The figure said in a low voice, "Who exactly are you?"

"I've already told you, don't ask so many questions. Who I am isn't important. What's important is where those two things are now?" Yue You said the same thing again.

The figure fell silent.

After a moment of silence, he said:
“Back then, I had a premonition that someone might come to rob the tomb in the future, so I changed my mind at the last minute and did not put those two items in the coffin.”

"..." Yueyou fell silent upon hearing this.

After a long pause, he said speechlessly, "Then, where did you put the things?"

The figure suddenly chuckled: "I hid the item, but to prevent future tomb raiders from finding it, I didn't tell them about this wisp of soul."

Yueyou glared at him: "So you mean, you old codger, you don't even know where you hid those two things?"

"Correct."

The figure nodded, looking at Yue You with a rather smug expression.

"It seems my premonition back then was right. With a unique tomb raider like you taking action, even if you destroy this wisp of my soul, you won't find anything."

"..." Yue You was speechless for a moment, staring at the figure for a long time before finally saying resentfully:

"You old devil, you're really cunning."

"Hehe, hehe..." The figure just chuckled without saying a word.

Yueyou was somewhat exasperated: "What are you laughing at? Do you believe I'll really destroy this wisp of your soul?"

"Hehehe, go ahead and destroy me if you want. Anyway, this wisp of my soul is definitely no match for you. I'm just happy to see you, this tomb raider, suffer a setback, hahaha."

The figure's laughter grew louder:
"I always had a feeling that maybe we were old friends back then? Maybe I was just keeping an eye out for you robbing my grave after I died! Hahahaha!"

Yueyou frowned slightly and snorted softly:
"You old bastard, you're as cunning and deserving of a beating as ever."

"Then come and kill me!" the figure laughed, looking rather irritating.

Yueyou swung her fist, but ultimately didn't strike; she simply snorted coldly.

"I'm too lazy to argue with a dead man like you. Since you hid those two things elsewhere, I'm going to dig them up here today. Don't say I didn't give you a chance to rest in peace."

Upon hearing this, the figure's tone immediately changed: "What exactly do you want? We've been dead for so many years, can't you let us rest in peace?"

Yueyou chuckled and said, "You've already called me a tomb raider, so what do you think I'm planning to do?"

The figure's gaze suddenly flickered over Lin Yang again, and he snorted:

"You want those two things from me just to help this kid. Here's what we'll do: open my coffin lid. There's a hidden compartment inside, and I've put something else there that will also help you achieve your goal. In return, you won't disturb anyone else's rest."

Yueyou's eyes flashed: "You old devil, you actually tried to pull this trick on me, hiding something in the coffin lid?"

As she spoke, her gaze fell upon the coffin lid, looking it over several times before finally settling on a particular spot:

"You left behind quite a few protective measures. If we hadn't examined it carefully, we would have had a hard time finding that there was indeed a hidden layer inside this coffin."

"Hehehe, I always felt that I had to be wary of certain people back then, and now it seems that I was right to be wary."

The figure chuckled, looking quite pleased with himself.
"Do you think you can discover the hidden layer in the board if I don't remove that concealed power?"

Yueyou didn't speak to him again, and instead chopped open the coffin lid.

This scene made Lin Yang's eyelids twitch.

The coffin itself was also made of bronze.

There is also a thick layer of powerful markings on it to prevent the coffin from being damaged.

That power is at least at the Ancient Realm level.

Yueyou casually cleaved the coffin lid open.

This power...

Before he could think further, Yueyou took something out of the hidden compartment.

It was a crystal-clear spherical box with a drop of milky white liquid floating inside.

Upon seeing this item, a hint of surprise flashed in Yueyou's eyes, and she couldn't help but say to the figure, "The Creation Liquid of the Heaven-Seizing Technique? You actually possess such a treasure?"

The figure smiled smugly: "Of course, how about it, are you satisfied with this?"

Yueyou immediately nodded: "You old man are quite generous, you're willing to take this thing out."

"Then take your things and leave quickly. Don't bother us here again in the future." The figure waved his hand dismissively.

Yueyou smiled: "One thing at a time. I'll let it go this time for the sake of this Heavenly Creation Liquid. Let them get some more sleep. We'll deal with the next issue next time."

The figure visibly paused, then became enraged: "You tomb raider, I've already given you the best stuff, how dare you say such a thing? Have you no shame?"

"Then come and fight me if you dare, take the stuff back, or seal off the entrance so I can't find it and can't come. If you can't do that, don't blame me." Yue You said indifferently.

"You..." The figure was instantly enraged and shouted, "I'm absolutely furious! I should have taken the opportunity to suppress you just now. If you dare to come again, I guarantee I'll completely suppress you here and make sure you never get the chance to rise again!"

Yueyou shrugged, still nonchalantly replying:
"What a pity, you missed your chance just now. As for next time, we'll see if you can do it. I'll be leaving now. You can continue your slumber. Thank you for your cooperation. I wish us a pleasant collaboration next time."

"You..." The figure roared in anger, and the tomb began to tremble.

A force surged toward the moonlit night.

Yueyou smiled slightly: "Alright, old man, you've been dead for so long, don't be so temperamental. Be careful not to scatter this remnant soul. See you next time!"

After saying that, Yueyou grabbed Lin Yang's shoulder and, before the figure could explode, led him into the Origin Void Ancient Domain.

……

Inside the tomb, the figure watched as Yue You led Lin Yang away, and the surging power instantly subsided.

He looked in the direction where the two had disappeared, and then a whispered voice came from behind him:

"Is it an old friend? All my old friends from back then must be dead. I really miss those days; it's been so long since I've bantered with anyone..."

"But that kid is indeed quite interesting, and he probably won't waste that drop of the Heaven-Seizing Creation Liquid."

At this point, his gaze drifted into the distance, as if he could pierce through time and space to see something:

"Is the underworld reviving? But we old folks can't do anything anymore..."

"Ugh……"

With a sigh, the figure disappeared, and the tomb space returned to silence.

……

Within the ancient domain of Yuanxu.

It was still that same desolate, barren, and lifeless scene.

Lin Yang thought that after Yue You took the items, she would take him directly back to the Primordial Ancient Continent, but he didn't expect to end up in the Origin Void Ancient Domain again.

Entering this place again, I felt somewhat different from last time.

Last time, he needed to rely on the power of his armor to barely protect himself here.

This time, he was able to protect himself here with his own strength.

"Lin Yang, keep up with me."

Last time, Yueyou had Lin Yang stay at the entrance while she went deeper into the Origin Void Ancient Domain.

This time, however, she called out to Lin Yang, asking him to go deeper into the area with her.

Lin Yang didn't ask any further questions and followed closely behind Yue You, heading in a certain direction. Yue You's speed also slowed down considerably here, as if she were deliberately slowing down.

The two walked for almost two days before Yueyou stopped in front of a cliff.

"Go down."

Yueyou said something and then fell down the cliff face.

Lin Yang followed closely behind.

The cliff seemed like a bottomless abyss, and it took the two of them a whole day to fall before they touched the ground at the bottom.

With their strength, it took them a full day to hit rock bottom.

It's easy to imagine just how deep that cliff must be.

Just as Lin Yang landed at the bottom of the cliff, before he could even survey his surroundings, Yue You handed him a spherical, transparent box containing a drop of the Heaven-Seizing Creation Liquid, saying:

"Here, I absorbed this drop of the Heaven-Seizing Creation Liquid and broke through to the Unfinished Realm in one fell swoop."

Lin Yang was taken aback: "Now?"

Yueyou nodded: "Yes."

Lin Yang was somewhat puzzled: "Senior Yueyou, why not wait until we return to the Primordial Ancient Continent to break through? I haven't sensed any Daoist power or the power of heaven and earth here. Breaking through now might waste the power of this Heaven-Seizing Creation Liquid."

He indeed did not sense any fluctuating power or Daoist aura within this place.

This is not a suitable time for cultivation.

Without the support and assistance of the power of heaven and earth and the power of the Great Dao, the effects of some treasures that assist in cultivation will be wasted.

This drop of the Heaven-Slaying Creation Liquid is clearly a very precious treasure.

If it's absorbed now, even wasting a tiny bit of its effect would be a huge loss.

Yueyou waved her hand and said, "It is precisely because there are no other forces interfering here that it is suitable to take this drop of the Heaven-Seizing Creation Liquid."

"Why is that?" Lin Yang asked, puzzled.

Yueyou patiently explained, "The Creation Liquid of Heaven and Earth, as the name suggests, is a drop of Creation Liquid formed by seizing the essence of heaven and earth."

"If this drop of the Creation Liquid of Heaven and Earth appears in the outside world and is sensed by Heaven and Earth, you will be rejected by the power of Heaven and Earth, and it will be difficult to absorb it."

"It's like someone taking away your most precious possession and then appearing in front of you. What would you do?"

Lin Yang's heart skipped a beat: "I understand."

Yueyou didn't say anything more, and gestured for him to absorb the drop of the Heaven-Seizing Creation Liquid.

Lin Yang sat down cross-legged, adjusted his state, and began to absorb the power of the Heavenly Creation Liquid.

Although it was only a drop, about the size of a normal drop of water.

But when absorbed, the power contained in that drop of the Heaven-Seizing Creation Liquid seemed as boundless as a vast ocean.

Fortunately, this power is relatively gentle, and even if a large amount enters the body, it can be absorbed and transformed in time.

Time passed little by little.

Lin Yang's cultivation level also began to slowly increase as he absorbed more and more of the power of the Heavenly Creation Liquid.

However, judging from its appearance, that drop of the Heaven-Seizing Creation Liquid did not show any signs of shrinking.

"It is only a single drop, yet it contains such immense power."

Lin Yang was also amazed and began to absorb the nutrients even more intensely.

However, the final absorption efficiency seems to be limited to a certain range.

It can only absorb at a relatively uniform rate.

It is not possible to completely absorb all the power contained in this drop of the Heaven-Seizing Creation Liquid in a short period of time.

With this discovery, Lin Yang was no longer in a hurry.

time flies.

On this day, the power accumulated within Lin Yang reached its limit for a breakthrough.

Then, a natural breakthrough led to an uncharted realm.

Originally, if this breakthrough were made on the Primordial Ancient Continent, it would instantly resonate with the Great Dao, causing some extraordinary phenomena in the world and triggering the reactions of millions of people.

But not a single sound was made here.

It was just like eating and drinking normally, without any ripples.

After the breakthrough, more than half of that drop of Heaven-Seizing Creation Liquid was consumed.

Seeing that Lin Yang had successfully broken through, Yueyou said, "You stay here and continue to absorb the remaining power of the Heavenly Creation Liquid to consolidate yourself. I have something to take care of."

"Okay," Lin Yang replied.

Yueyou flashed away and disappeared into the darkness in the blink of an eye.

Lin Yang continued to absorb the nutrients.

After a while, he suddenly felt that the [realm] in his soul was also beginning to absorb the power of the Heavenly Creation Liquid.

[Jie] After dealing with the Yin spirits, he seemed to have lost all his strength and fell into silence.

The fact that it had started absorbing the power of the Heavenly Creation Liquid filled Lin Yang with joy.

It's good that there's a response!

He even voluntarily gave up the portion he absorbed, dedicating it entirely to nourishing the [World].

[Jie] accepted everything without hesitation, and absorbed the power of the Heavenly Creation Liquid much faster than Lin Yang.

If Lin Yang's absorption speed was like a gentle, flowing stream, then the absorption speed of the [Boundary] was like a whale sucking its prey.

It was fast and fierce.

It was so fast that Lin Yang was dumbfounded.

That single drop of miraculous creation liquid began to shrink at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Did you expend too much energy dealing with the Yin spirits? Is that why you've become so hungry?" Lin Yang wondered to himself.

Half a day later.

The absorption rate of the [Boundary] slowed down considerably until it stopped absorbing altogether, and then fell silent within Lin Yang's soul.

Only a tiny bit of the Heavenly Creation Liquid remained.

Lin Yang then began absorbing the remaining power to consolidate his newly broken-through cultivation.

A hundred years later.

The Heavenly Creation Liquid was completely absorbed.

Lin Yang also felt that his cultivation level had become much more stable.

But Yueyou has not yet returned.

Lin Yang had no choice but to continue waiting in place, while simultaneously consolidating his cultivation.

And this wait lasted another century.

Lin Yang began to worry. After Yue You entered last time, she also left alone to handle some business, but she returned after only half a day.

But this time, they've been gone for so long and haven't come back yet.

He tried to send a message to Yueyou, but found that he couldn't send messages here.

This made Lin Yang even more worried.

He was determined to find Yueyou.

However, he dared not make any rash moves, fearing that Yueyou might return and not be able to find him after he left.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Yang decided to wait a little longer.

If Yueyou doesn't return soon, he'll have to take some other action.

time flies.

Another century has passed.

Yueyou has still not returned.

Lin Yang decided not to wait any longer.

Three hundred years have passed, and Yueyou has neither returned nor sent him any message.

He has to go and search for it. (End of Chapter)
