Chapter 1134: Pervert

Boom! When dozens of Genesis Qi explosions erupted from the depths of the great river flowing through the canyon, the entire canyon began to shake violently.

Roaring! Vast Genesis Qi surged forth, like the roar of ancient beasts.

The next moment, giant whirlpools appeared in the great river. From their depths, an unending tide of earth beasts surged out. These creatures were transparent, resembling liquid beings, but the Genesis Qi they unleashed was not to be underestimated.

“Annihilate them!” Zhou Yuan's expression hardened slightly as he watched this scene, then he waved his hand. Immediately, the prepared forces of the Tianyuan Region and Cangxuan Heaven roared out, meeting the earth beasts surging from the river's depths.

Boom! A great battle erupted once again within the canyon. This battle was exceptionally fierce, as the sheer scale of the earth beasts born from this advanced Ancestral Qi branch line far exceeded everyone's expectations. Eventually, even Zhou Yuan, who had been overseeing from the side, led his people into the fray, and it took a full two hours to completely eradicate the earth beasts.

After the earth beasts were annihilated, before they could even rest, the entire great river rolled back, and a massive, pale yellow water dragon appeared, shimmering in and out of view. The immense Ancestral Qi emanating from it caused the Genesis Qi of this entire region to surge violently.

“Is this the Ancestral Qi contained within an advanced branch line?” Zhou Yuan's eyes gleamed as he gazed at the huge pale yellow water dragon. The Ancestral Qi it contained far surpassed any branch line they had encountered before.

“Prepare the altar!” At Zhou Yuan's command, an altar was quickly erected, positioned directly in front of the great river. Below the altar, about a thousand members of the Tianyuan Region forces were already seated in meditation, while another thousand were spread out, maintaining vigilance and awaiting their turn to rotate.

Further back, behind the Tianyuan Region's altar, Chu Qing and others had also erected an altar for the Cangxuan Sect. Aside from the other half of their forces on alert, almost all of Cangxuan Heaven's teams gathered excitedly before the altar. Although everyone knew that establishing the Cangxuan Sect's altar would undoubtedly bring greater benefits to the sect, there was no discontent among them. After all, everyone understood that if it weren't for the Cangxuan Sect, Zhou Yuan might not have been willing to allocate thirty percent of this advanced Ancestral Qi branch line. Therefore, they were all essentially benefiting from the Cangxuan Sect.

Zhou Yuan's figure also descended before the altar and sat cross-legged. He gazed at the pale yellow water dragon rising from the great river and formed a hand seal with one hand.

As Zhou Yuan completed his hand seal, the altar behind him immediately emitted a peculiar suction force, directly drawing in the pale yellow water dragon. The next moment, the water dragon ascended into the air, transforming into countless water droplets, which then poured down like a torrential rain towards the altar.

These droplets were not water, but solidified Ancestral Qi! The Ancestral Qi droplets struck Zhou Yuan, bringing a cool sensation, but Zhou Yuan could distinctly feel waves of majestic Ancestral Qi continuously pouring into his body.

Compared to intermediate Ancestral Qi branch lines, the Ancestral Qi here was clearly more refined and ancient. As the Ancestral Qi flowed into his body and finally gathered within his Divine Dwelling, the two Heavenly Suns within gradually grew brighter and more resplendent. The Genesis Qi foundation they contained also rapidly ascended at an astonishing rate. Even the dragon claw patterns on the Heavenly Suns gradually emerged and spread, imbuing them with a unique aura.

Feeling the speed of this advancement, Zhou Yuan couldn't help but feel joy deep within his heart. It was indeed worthy of being an advanced Ancestral Qi branch line; the improvements it brought far surpassed those of intermediate branch lines. A strong sense of anticipation arose in his heart. He truly wanted to know just how much improvement this rare advanced Ancestral Qi branch line could bring him this time.

This advanced Ancestral Qi branch line lasted for a full three days. During these three days, various teams rotated several times. Only Zhou Yuan and a handful of others remained unmoving, absorbing the Ancestral Qi infusion from start to finish. This was a privilege exclusive to leaders like them, as they had faced the strongest enemies in battle and naturally had the right to enjoy the best treatment, which no one could question.

As the setting sun cast its long shadows on the third day, everyone withdrew from their cultivation state. They looked at the great river, which was gradually drying up. Numerous massive cracks appeared in its depths, leading deep underground, from where the river's water dispersed.

Everyone who ceased cultivation immediately inspected themselves, and then countless excited cheers erupted one after another, clearly indicating that many had achieved significant improvements this time.

Qin Lian also sensed her own state, and a hint of emotion appeared on her face: “My Genesis Qi foundation has actually increased to 2.6 billion!”

After several previous advancements, her Genesis Qi foundation had nearly reached 2.5 billion. But she hadn't expected this time for her Genesis Qi foundation to surge by 100 million! This advanced Ancestral Qi branch line was truly astonishing!

Now, if she were to use her secret techniques again, she felt that the combat power she could unleash might be able to contend with Dong Ye, who was ranked third.

Faced with such an improvement, even Qin Lian, with her stern personality, couldn't help but crack a smile.

“It seems Miss Qin Lian has gained quite a lot.” Just then, a laughing voice came from the side. Qin Lian turned her head to look; that dazzling, gleaming bald head was so eye-catching. She narrowed her eyes slightly and said flatly, “Oh, Captain Chu Qing.”

“Your improvement seems decent, what about yours?” Chu Qing chuckled and replied, “Thanks to you, my Genesis Qi foundation increased by around 100 million.”

Qin Lian was stunned for a moment, then a hint of shock arose in her heart. One must know that their Tianyuan Region had received seventy percent of the advanced branch line, which allowed her to gain around 100 million in improvement. Yet, Cangxuan Heaven, the entire Cangxuan Heaven, only received thirty percent, and Chu Qing's gain was actually no less than hers?!

What did this mean? It meant that the talent of this effortlessly lazy and utterly speechless bald man before her was stronger than hers!

This answer truly left Qin Lian feeling a bit aggrieved. It was one thing to be repeatedly surpassed by Zhou Yuan, but how could this lazy bald man before her also be stronger than her?

Thus, Qin Lian, feeling aggrieved and dejected, her faint smile vanished from her face, and she reverted to her usual cold demeanor.

Chu Qing looked at Qin Lian, whose expression had changed so quickly, and felt uneasy. This woman was indeed a difficult creature to deal with. However, he had been sent by Li Qingchan to express gratitude on behalf of all Cangxuan Heaven, so he could only offer a simple, honest smile: “Miss Qin Lian, the Tianyuan Region has greatly helped us this time. On behalf of Cangxuan Heaven, I express our thanks.”

Qin Lian nodded faintly and said, “No need to thank me. All of this is due to Elder Zhou Yuan.”

Still, one doesn't hit a smiling face, so Qin Lian's expression softened somewhat. Yet, her gaze towards Chu Qing remained undeniably strange.

Chu Qing, meanwhile, could only uncomfortably bear her gaze, feeling as though his entire body was being pricked by needles, uncomfortable all over. At the same time, he cautioned himself internally to keep his distance from creatures like women in the future.

Fortunately, his awkward situation was soon remedied by Zhou Yuan, who woke up. The latter stretched lazily, drawing many gazes towards himself.

Qin Lian's gaze fixed intently on Zhou Yuan. She felt that he seemed to possess a sharper aura than before. She couldn't help but immediately ask, “How much has your Genesis Qi foundation increased?”

Zhou Yuan glanced at her, then at Chu Qing beside him. He had overheard their previous conversation, so he hesitated before saying, “Don't ask about that, why bother making yourself unhappy?”

Qin Lian was so angered by his words that a vein throbbed on her forehead. She gritted her teeth and demanded, “How much?!”

Zhou Yuan sighed helplessly and whispered, “Not much, just 200 million…”

Although Qin Lian had been mentally prepared, she still took a deep breath, and with a hint of annoyance, glanced at him and Chu Qing. “You Cangxuan Sect freaks are truly a bit much!” Then she turned and walked away, flicking her sleeve.

Zhou Yuan watched her aggrieved back and sighed inwardly, “She's still too naive. His improvement this time was far more than just 200 million in Genesis Qi foundation…”

The dragon claw patterns on his Heavenly Suns had already reached five claws!

Moreover, the greatest improvement was seen in Silver Shadow.

He raised his palm, and silver liquid ascended, forming a silver sphere. Silver Shadow, which had been severely wounded by Jimo earlier, had not only fully recovered with the help of the Ancestral Qi infusion, but its improvement had also reached a level that even surprised Zhou Yuan.

Now, Silver Shadow's Genesis Qi foundation had directly surged from 1.4 billion to 2 billion! This was an almost earth-shattering promotion!

Of course, the price for this was that more than half of the Ancestral Qi absorbed by Zhou Yuan had been entirely given to Silver Shadow.

However, in Zhou Yuan's view, this price was entirely worth it, because Silver Shadow had finally opened its second empty aperture.

After conducting experiments, Zhou Yuan successfully replicated his cultivated 'Seven-Colored Heaven-Cutting Gourd' technique onto it.

This was the most astonishing aspect of his gains this time!
