Chapter 777: Missing, Escaping
Ye Chen held the "Orange Seal," his eyes flickered with brilliant light.
He did not care about those few most special Divine Kingdoms that the Orange Seal could not reach.
What he cared about was that as long as he could go to the "True Spirit Divine Kingdom" and the "Ten Thousand Beasts Domain Divine Kingdom", that was enough!
Ye Chen looked towards the "Teleportation Star Map," and saw that the "Ten Thousand Beasts Domain Divine Kingdom" was among the Divine Kingdoms involved in the routes leading to the "True Spirit Divine Kingdom."
According to what Divine Master Huyan had said, all the Divine Kingdoms involved in the routes to the "True Spirit Divine Kingdom" could be freely teleported to using the "Orange Seal."
This clearly meant that with the "Orange Seal," Ye Chen could truly go to the "Ten Thousand Beasts Domain Divine Kingdom"!
"Jiang Yao."
In an instant, the figure of that most beloved exquisite beauty emerged in Ye Chen's mind.
The exquisite beauty had a graceful and moving figure, with black hair like a waterfall cascading down her waist.
That fair delicate beautiful face, those star-bright clear and lucid eyes, and the small dimples on her little face, were unforgettable sights.
Ye Chen missed Jiang Yao immensely.
Since their parting on the Barbaric Wilderness Continent over a year ago when Mrs. He took her away, more than a year had passed.
A day apart felt like three seasons.
In this year of not seeing her, Ye Chen's concern for Jiang Yao reached the ultimate extent.
Especially since so many things had happened over this past year.
He also wanted to have a good talk with Jiang Yao...
"In the future, I must come out of 'Heavenly God Mountain' alive! After finishing the matters of 'Heavenly God Mountain', and when setting off towards the 'True Spirit Divine Kingdom', I will go to the Ten Thousand Beasts Domain to see Jiang Yao!" Ye Chen thought to himself.
While missing Jiang Yao, the figure of Long Li also flashed through Ye Chen's mind...
After all, this cold little girl who had become intimate with him had also gone to the "Ten Thousand Beasts Domain" to find Jiang Yao.
Perhaps, she was right by Jiang Yao's side...
Seeing Ye Chen holding the "Orange Seal" and falling into deep thought, Divine Master Huyan smiled slightly and said, "Ye Chen, you have passed the second of the Three Mysterious Gates of Life and Death in the main tomb. Now, whether you want to leave the main tomb or continue to cultivate here is up to you."
"As I understand, your expedition in the Demon Tomb lasts for a total of one month, and there is still plenty of time left. If you wish to stay here, I can indeed provide some guidance on your Cultivation Technique."
Upon hearing Divine Master Huyan's words, Ye Chen was startled and snapped out of his thoughts about Jiang Yao and Long Li.
Ye Chen smiled at Divine Master Huyan and said, "Senior, the mission for my trip to the Demon Tomb was to hunt for a 'Thunder Turtle Egg', which has already been accomplished."
"The Three Mysterious Gates of Life and Death was actually an additional task to help another senior that I got involved with."
"Since I have no other pressing matters, I might as well cultivate here. To receive guidance from Divine Master Lord Huyan, I cannot miss this opportunity!"
"Also, I would like to consult senior further on the matters of the 'True Spirit Divine Kingdom' and the 'Gourd Sword'."
Seeing Ye Chen willing to stay, Divine Master Huyan also smiled, "Then let's have a good talk in the main tomb."
...
The one month exploration time in the Demon Tomb soon passed.
When the day to leave the Demon Tomb arrived, multiple figures flew out from the nine great Demon Tombs, then groups of them boarded Flying Boats, flying out of the Demon Tomb site.
It could be seen that at the beginning, over a hundred million Martial Artists had entered the nine great Demon Tomb areas, but when they came out, most of them were obviously gone.
Clearly, numerous people had perished in the terrifying Heavenly Fiend Ghost Fire that fell from the sky upon entering the Demon Tomb.
During this month of exploration, countless Martial Artists also died in various places in the nine great Demon Tombs.
Over a hundred million people entered the Demon Tomb for the adventure.
If several million managed to come out alive, they should consider themselves extremely lucky!
However, most of the Martial Artists who survived and came out of the nine great Demon Tombs had expressions of having survived a catastrophe and being immensely surprised on their faces.
Clearly, they had significant gains from this exploration trip in the Demon Tomb!
Among the survivors, the majority who flew out from the outermost ninth Demon Tomb were the most.
Many, upon boarding the Flying Boats, looked at the fewer number of Flying Boats coming from the deeper eight Demon Tombs and said, "Luckily, we spent this month in the ninth Demon Tomb, increasing our chances of survival greatly."
"Looking at the other Demon Tombs, more people died there than here!"
Someone excitedly said, "Haha, this time in the ninth Demon Tomb, I finally obtained a few items I've been dreaming of. With these items, my Combat Power has risen a level, and it's absolutely easy now!"
"Hehe, I didn't collect any treasures, but I cultivated in the 'Spirit Communication Mountain' of the ninth Demon Tomb. This time, I finally broke through a bottleneck and advanced to the Middle Earth God Divine Venerable Realm in one fell swoop!"
The people who came out alive from the ninth Demon Tomb were all abuzz with discussion.
People from the other eight Demon Tombs were also whispering to each other, discussing the events of the past month in their respective Demon Tombs while driving the Flying Boats out of the "Demon Tomb" site.
In the deepest area of the nine great Demon Tombs, the first Demon Tomb.
Accompanied by flashes of Spiritual Light, figures also emerged from the first Demon Tomb.
The number of people who had initially entered the first Demon Tomb was the fewest among the nine great Demon Tombs.
After all, entry into the first Demon Tomb required "Yin Spirit Ganoderma".
Only tens of thousands of people entered the first Demon Tomb.
After the anomaly in the first Demon Tomb, many people also died there.
This time, only about two thousand people came out alive!
Among them, many had seen the perils of the first Demon Tomb and hid in safe places, narrowly escaping death!
After these people were teleported out of the first Demon Tomb, most of them had heavy expressions on their faces, and eventually, groups of three or five gathered and flew away from the area of the first Demon Tomb.
Clearly, the danger of the first Demon Tomb this time was completely disproportionate to the gains!
In the crowd, there were also people from the four major sects of the four territories.
When a group of people from Blood Sword Sect of the four great sects flew out from the first Demon Tomb, their expressions were equally grim: "We knew that the chance of obtaining treasure from the first Demon Tomb was extremely low, but for the sake of Divine Milk, we still risked our lives to break in. Unexpectedly, this time, ninety percent of our sect members died inside, and in the end, only one person got 'three drops' of Divine Milk!"
A Heavenly Divine Venerable from Blood Sword Sect clenched his teeth with hatred.
Another Heavenly Divine Venerable looked straight at the figures of several female disciples of the Sky Fox Sect who flew out after them, his eyes filled with intense jealousy and envy: "This time, the Sky Fox Sect is probably the sect with the greatest harvest from the first Demon Tomb!"
"I wonder where their leader, Fairy Luo Yun, obtained an Ultimate Heavenly Artifact!"
"Fairy Luo Yun was already immensely powerful, and with the aid of that Ultimate Heavenly Artifact, she's even more formidable, like a tiger given wings. Thanks to her, the Sky Fox Sect had the smallest casualties and the greatest harvest!"
"From what I know, six of them managed to break into the deepest part and obtained Divine Milk!"
"And later, after coming out from the Land of Divine Milk, they together ventured into other realms, and I heard they also made many gains!"
Although they were extremely envious, when the Blood Sword Sect people saw the figure of Fairy Luo Yun, the leader of the "Sky Fox Sect", they dared not act rashly, let alone try to seize her treasures.
Not to mention that the "Sky Fox Sect" was originally one of the four major sects in the Western Territory, on par with the "Blood Sword Sect".
The mere fact that Luo Yun's combat power rivaled that of an Immortal Divine Venerable sent chills down their spines.
Not to mention, Fairy Luo Yun was holding an Ultimate Heavenly Artifact that they, as Heavenly Divine Venerables, didn't even dare to dream of!
The people from Blood Sword Sect, amidst their immense envy, gloomily gathered the surviving sect members and finally left the first Demon Tomb.
However, the female disciples of the "Sky Fox Sect" did not leave at all.
All the female disciples of the Sky Fox Sect who came out from the first Demon Tomb were gathered around Fairy Luo Yun in the middle.
"Sister, we owe it to you that we could safely come out of the first Demon Tomb this time."
"You said, the Ultimate Heavenly Artifact in your hand was lent to you by Ye Chen?!"
Many female disciples looked at the Ultimate Heavenly Divine Sword in Luo Yun's hand, their eyes filled with disbelief even though the sword was damaged.
Ultimate Heavenly Artifact!
It's a treasure usually wielded only by Sovereign Realm powerhouses.
Heavenly Divine Venerables, let alone borrowing one, even seeing an Ultimate Heavenly Artifact was considered an absolute stroke of luck!
Even though they knew Luo Yun's master was a Sovereign, they were also aware that even Luo Yun couldn't obtain an Ultimate Heavenly Artifact from her master.
Now, she actually had an Ultimate Heavenly Artifact that Ye Chen lent her, which naturally astonished all the female disciples.
Thinking back to when they entered the Demon Tomb with Ye Chen and saw Ye Chen snatch the "Thunder Turtle Egg" from the terrifying Thunder Turtle, these female disciples of the Sky Fox Sect were still somewhat shaken.
That young boy left a very deep impression on them!
"Of course, this sword was lent to me by Ye Chen," Fairy Luo Yun's eyes looked towards the first Demon Tomb, filled with concern, "Initially, Ye Chen and I were teleported to the 'Three Evils Sea', and without the help of Ye Chen's Ultimate Heavenly Artifact, I would have probably perished in the 'Three Evils Sea', let alone obtained eight drops of Divine Milk later!"
"However, later when Ye Chen and I went to that Demon Tomb I've always wanted to visit, I suddenly got separated from Ye Chen. I don't know where he went after that."
"Ye Chen still hasn't come out until now; I hope nothing happened to him!"
Fairy Luo Yun had many memories about the Demon Tomb erased by General Azure Dragon Long Xiao, and she faintly felt that Ye Chen had fallen into trouble.
This made her increasingly worried about Ye Chen's safety.
Hearing Fairy Luo Yun worrying about Ye Chen, the other female disciples of the Sky Fox Sect also showed their concern.
"It's okay, today is the last day to leave the Demon Tomb area, and there is still a lot of time; Ye Chen is so powerful, he will definitely come out safely," a female disciple who was an Earth Divine Venerable from the Sky Fox Sect said.
Other disciples echoed, "Right, we'll wait for him here; he will definitely come out!"
"Yes, if it weren't for the treasure Ye Chen gave to our sister, we might have already died in the first Demon Tomb, so we must wait for Ye Chen, and then we'll leave together!"
Not a single female disciple of the Sky Fox Sect urged to leave anxiously.
All of them were waiting for Ye Chen outside the first Demon Tomb.
As the deadline to leave the Demon Tomb area approached, and they still hadn't seen Ye Chen come out,
the hearts of all the female disciples of Sky Fox Sect became increasingly heavy and worried.
All the female disciples of the Sky Fox Sect suddenly heard Fairy Luo Yun's excited voice: "Ye Chen has come out!"
Then, all the female disciples' gazes turned towards the first Demon Tomb.
Following that, they saw Ye Chen's figure, accompanied by a flash of Spiritual Light, appearing outside the first Demon Tomb.
They also heard Ye Chen's voice reaching their ears: "Fairy Luo Yun, my fellow Daoists, thank you for waiting!"
