Nine Astra Skies

624 Ziyun dark bead

~~

Ye chen slowly walked toward the door made of runes. He was getting closer and closer to the word “suppress.” The closer he got, the more he felt the immense pressure. Under that solemn energy, ye chen felt that his mind was clear and his entire body and mind seemed to have been purified.

It was as if he could see a vast starry sky in front of him. The celestial Chi in ye Chen’s body was constantly refined and the flying Dagger in his mind was also buzzing.

The closer ye chen got to the word “suppress,” the less pressure he felt. It was as if he had heard some kind of call. He took a step forward and reached out to push the door open but found that the door was invisible. Ye Chen’s entire hand was hidden inside the door.

Ye chen looked at all of this in surprise. He moved his feet and continued to walk forward. Gradually, his entire body was completely hidden behind the door. He had actually passed through the door directly.

As he watched ye Chen’s figure enter the door, a rare smile finally appeared on old man Xuan Ling’s stiff face. There was a hint of bitterness in the smile.

“He is indeed the chosen one by the star soul of the heaven’s origin star!” A strange light flashed in old man Xuan Ling’s turbid eyes. He seemed to be thinking about something. He stood there quietly, waiting for ye Chen’s news.

In the inner hall of the purple jade Palace.

Ye chen looked at everything in front of him in amazement. In the center of the inner hall was a huge pool with a radius of about a hundred meters. Purple-red liquid flowed in the pool like blood. There was a small path on the pool that led to the front. In the middle of the pool was a small floating flat land. Two things floated quietly on it. One was a long purple ribbon that was dancing around a Red Pearl the size of a silver plate.

According to elder xuanling’s description, that ribbon should be the legendary star soul Dao artifact, the Ziyun heavenly net! What was that Pearl? Elder Xuan Ling had never mentioned it before. Could it be that the secret manual he had obtained did not record this Pearl, and he did not know of its existence?

This Pearl must not be simple to be able to fly around the Ziyun heavenly compass, a star soul Dao artifact.

Ye chen did not expect to obtain the Ziyun heavenly gauze so easily. He had thought it would be difficult. However, after thinking about it, even old man Xuan Ling, who was a God servant, was blocked outside. This Ziyun heavenly gauze was not that easy to obtain!

Just as he was about to walk forward, ye chen suddenly felt a terrifying energy faintly approaching him. He looked at the pool and saw undercurrents flowing in the pool. Under the rich purplish-red liquid, there seemed to be something terrifying. Ye chen could not help but feel worried.

Could it be that there was something hidden in the pool to prevent anyone from obtaining the Ziyun heavenly net?

Ye chen released his astral body to see what was hidden in the pool but he failed. His astral body melted as soon as it came into contact with the purple-red liquid. He could not find out what was inside at all.

A fear of the unknown rose in his heart.

Ye chen took a deep breath. If old man Xuan Ling was right and he was really chosen by the heavenly origin star’s Astral Soul to come here, then there should be no problem. Even if there was a mystical beast guarding the Ziyun heavenly net here, he should be able to communicate with it.

In any case, it was just a clone. Even if he had to experience death once, there was nothing to be afraid of. Ye chen walked steadily toward the small path above the pool. As he moved forward, ye chen seemed to feel a pair of eyes peeking at him from the purple-red pool.

Ye chen suppressed the strange feeling in his heart and walked in step by step with determination. His right hand finally touched the Ziyun heavenly silk. The Ziyun heavenly silk was extremely flexible and a powerful energy hit him in the face.

This Ziyun heavenly net was definitely a very powerful Dao artifact!

However, ye chen suddenly frowned.

The Ziyun heavenly net could be considered a Supreme-grade Dao artifact, but it was definitely not a star soul Dao artifact like elder Xuan Ling had said. It was at most an eighth or ninth-grade Dao artifact! Ye chen could be considered someone who had come into contact with a star soul Dao artifact. The energy of a star soul Dao artifact was completely different from that of an ordinary Dao artifact.

Ordinary people might not be able to recognize it, but ye Chen’s astral body could easily sense the subtle difference.

It was the Ziyun heavenly net, a Supreme-grade Dao artifact that was disguised as a star soul Dao artifact!

Ye chen suddenly realized that there was something fishy about this. Could it be that the information that old man Xuan Ling had obtained was inaccurate? The star soul Dao weapon, the Ziyun heavenly net, did not exist? Or was the Ziyun heavenly gauze just a substitute, and the real star soul Dao artifact-grade Ziyun heavenly gauze was in another place?

Ye Chen’s brows were tightly locked together. What was going on? Could it be that after the 12 Star masters built the Ziyun shrine, they deliberately left behind wrong information to lead their descendants here? However, what was the purpose of the 12 Star Lords doing this?

Ye chen could not figure it out. His gaze fell on the Red Pearl next to the Ziyun heavenly net.

This red bead needed two hands to hold it. On the bright and clean surface of the bead, the center was constantly flashing with a red light, deep and dazzling.

With just a glance, ye chen could feel the extraordinary energy from the Red Pearl. This Red Pearl was the real star soul Dao artifact! On the edge of the Pearl, there were a few rice-sized words carved-Ziyun dark pearl.

The real star soul Dao tool was not the Ziyun heavenly net, but the Ziyun Mystic Pearl!

The Ziyun heavenly gauze continued to fly around the Ziyun Black Pearl. Although it was a Supreme grade Dao artifact, the Ziyun heavenly gauze was only a foil in front of the Ziyun Black Pearl!

What was going on?

Elder xuanling had never mentioned anything about The Purple Cloud dark pearl.

The Ziyun heavenly net was just a cover, and the Ziyun dark bead was the real thing? Did the 12 Star Lords do this on purpose?

Ye Chen’s mind was filled with thoughts and his expression gradually calmed down. The twelve planetary Lords must have done this on purpose. Why did they do this? were they taking precautions against something? With this in mind, ye chen took the Ziyun heavenly silk down and extended his right hand toward the Ziyun Mystic Pearl.

Rays of light swirled around The Purple Cloud dark pearl, containing an inexplicable power.

Just as ye Chen’s fingertip touched The Purple Cloud dark pearl, an extremely powerful energy suddenly locked onto ye chen.

He couldn’t move at all, and his entire body was completely stiff.

Ye chen felt as if he was being stared at by a terrifying primordial beast. A trace of fear rose in his heart.

“What is it?” Ye chen found it difficult to even think. The purplish-red liquid around him suddenly surged up as if something huge was about to break out of the pool.

Ye chen was shocked. He wanted to escape but that terrifying energy was not something he could resist.

Not to mention that he was only at the spirit Xuan level, even Dao Xuan and war Emperor couldn’t do it. That was at least the aura of a deity servant!

Even elder Xuan Ling couldn’t compare to this aura!

Could it be that there was another hidden servant on The Purple Cloud Star?

Ye Chen’s mind was racing when suddenly, a column of purple liquid shot up into the sky. From the purple pool, a giant snake hundreds of meters long suddenly flew out. This giant snake was covered in blood-red scales and had a pair of bat-like fleshy wings on its back. It hissed and flicked its tongue. Its eyes were like copper bells, staring at ye chen.

Ye Chen’s body was not even as big as its eyes. Ye chen could clearly see his own reflection in its eyes.

The giant snake circled around the pool a few times, its head hanging above The Purple Cloud Mystic Pearl. Its red tongue danced around ye chen from time to time. Ye chen felt as if the celestial Chi in his body was being sucked away.

The giant snake seemed to be breathing in ye Chen’s scent and also sniffing something.

Was he going to be eaten by the giant snake like this? No matter which way he died, it was better than being eaten by a snake. Ye chen felt disgusted just thinking about the long and narrow digestive system in the giant snake’s body.

The Man and the Snake stared at each other for a long time.

It was impossible for a spirit Xuan to fight against a deity servant, so ye chen could only glare back at him with an even fiercer gaze. Even if he was destined to be eaten, he definitely couldn’t be weak, right?

Why was there such a huge snake in the Ziyun divine Hall? could it be The Guardian of the star soul Dao tool, the Ziyun Mystic Pearl?

The Ziyun divine Hall had been established for tens of thousands of years. If the snake had been here since the establishment of the divine Hall, then it must have lived for at least tens of thousands of years. Since it was not a human, but a mystical beast or a celestial beast, it was not surprising that it could live for tens of thousands of years.

Although humans and mystical beasts were both created from astral souls, and were the third race in the universe, there were some differences. Mystical beasts and celestial beasts had long lifespans. They were ten times or even dozens of times longer than humans. However, their cultivation talent and wisdom were much worse than humans. They were also the third type of race, but humans had a higher status than mystical beasts and celestial beasts.

It seemed that the Ziyun Black Pearl was indeed an extraordinary treasure. It was guarded by a deity-level master. Ye chen was depressed to see that he would be eaten by this giant snake at any time. He had never thought that his clone would die in such a way. It was too disgraceful. He would actually become food in the giant snake’s stomach!

It seemed like he couldn’t bring these two items out of the Ziyun shrine!

The giant snake stared at ye chen for a long time and raised its head, showing no intention of eating ye chen.

What was the meaning of this giant snake?

It hissed and flicked its tongue as if it was saying something but ye chen could not understand it at all. It was probably the beast language of planet Ziyun.

Ye chen was about to ask something when he saw the giant snake rapidly shrink and finally turn into a small snake. With a whoosh, it burrowed into the Ziyun dark pearl and disappeared!

Ye chen immediately felt the pressure on his body decrease and his body finally regained its mobility.

Looking at the floating Ziyun dark bead, the giant snake actually hid inside it?

“What is this guy? Could it be the artifact Spirit of The Purple Cloud dark bead?” Ye chen frowned in confusion. It seemed that the giant snake did not reject him. Ye Chen’s suspended heart could finally be put at ease. He had finally avoided the fate of becoming food for beasts.
