C2184 Origin Nucleus
He was worried that the Flood Dragon would go back on his word and eat him and Jiong Yuan.
But now, it seemed that although the Flood Dragon looked scary, it was honest. Ye Hongtian cupped his fists and thanked him. Then, he took the unconscious Jiong Yuan and sped towards the top of the mountain.
On the other side of the mountain, Jun Qiongyao and Jun Tianyao had already arrived in front of the Flood Dragon's body. However, they did not see the Flood Dragon's head, so they were not sure what kind of creature was circling the mountain.
After watching Ye Hongtian go to the top of the mountain, the flood dragon immediately stuck its head to Jun Qiongyao and Jun Tianyao.
It sized up the two of them, and then remembered that Ye Hongtian had said he would put a woman on the mountain, so its gaze stopped on Jun Qiongyao.
"Little girl, you can go up, you can't!" The Flood Dragon said very domineeringly.
When Jun Tianyao and Jun Qiongyao saw the Flood Dragon, they were already stunned. When they heard the Flood Dragon's words, they were even more surprised, not knowing what was going on.
"Senior! Why is it only allowed for one person to climb the mountain? Then what does my previous efforts count as? Could it be that only women can climb the mountain?" Jun Tianyao immediately asked the Flood Dragon when he regained his senses.
The Flood Dragon thought about Ye Hongtian's words and nodded. "Indeed, only one woman is allowed to go up the mountain. If you know what's good for you, go down immediately. If you want to force your way in, then don't blame me for making a move."
"Tch! I didn't expect to be blocked by a flood dragon when I was close to the top of the mountain!"
Jun Tianyao's expression didn't look too good because he was blocked by a Flood Dragon. The Flood Dragon's attitude was clear, and he no longer had the respect he had before.
He turned to look at Jun Qiongyao. In fact, he wanted to persuade her to give up this chance to climb the mountain. After all, if he wanted to get Jun Qiongyao, the prerequisite was that her cultivation speed couldn't be too fast. Her cultivation level and strength couldn't be higher than his.
However, Jun Qiongyao's face was already filled with interest. Before Jun Tianyao could say anything, Jun Qiongyao had already started walking up the mountain.
"Yaoyao! Why don't we... leave this place and find the treasure vault?" Jun Tianyao shouted from behind her.
As he spoke, Jun Tianyao wanted to grab Jun Qiongyao's arm, thinking that as long as he forcefully brought her back to the lightning zone, perhaps Jun Qiongyao wouldn't be able to come up.
Unfortunately, his plan failed because of the flood dragon's pressure. Looking at the flood dragon's fierce eyes, if he dared to stop Jun Qiongyao, the flood dragon could kill him at any time.
Jun Qiongyao, who was walking in front, heard Jun Tianyao's suggestion, but she wasn't stupid. She knew what Jun Tianyao was thinking, so she naturally wouldn't care about Jun Tianyao. She directly jumped over the flood dragon and climbed up the mountain.
After Jun Qiongyao went up, the flood dragon's pressure disappeared. In order to prevent others from going up the mountain, the flood dragon spread out a layer of something similar to a domain. After a moment, the view on the top of the mountain became blurry.
"Damn it! I didn't expect that only women could go up the mountain. It was meaningless to risk my life to bring Jun Qiongyao up. Now I can only pray that there are no more great opportunities on the mountain top. " Jun Tianyao clenched his fists as he thought in his heart.
At the top of the mountain.
There was a pool of water about thirty feet in diameter. It was not clear. Instead, it was very turbid. However, the water here was not ordinary water. Even if a martial artist at the Body Forging stage stood here, they would be able to tell that the water inside was completely liquefied heaven and earth spirit energy.
"Such a large amount of liquefied heaven and earth spirit energy, this is indeed the Essence Gathering Pool. However, although the heaven and earth spirit energy here is enormous, could it be that there is only this little bit of heaven and earth spirit energy that has gathered for tens of thousands of years?" Ye Hongtian threw the Jiong Yuan into the pool and murmured while rubbing his chin.
A few breaths later, the Jiong Yuan floated up and Ye Hongtian jumped into the Gathering Yuan Pool. He didn't immediately activate the suction force of the Ten Thousand Dao Tree Sprout to absorb all the spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth in the Elemental Gathering Pool. Instead, he sank into the pool and checked the bottom of the pool.
The depth of the Energy Gathering Pool was not deep. It was barely three meters deep. Because the liquefied natural energy was turbid, Ye Hongtian needed to stick close to the ground to see the bottom of the pool clearly.
After a careful search, he really found something shocking. Even Ye Hongtian had only seen it in historical records.
"This is... an elemental core, right? I really didn't think that there would be such a thing here!"
In his hands, a kind of irregular rock that was similar to essence crystals flickered with a faint light. Although its appearance was irregular, the heaven and earth spiritual energy contained within was probably not comparable to the entire essence gathering pool!
Origin Crystals were formed from the interior of the stone shell containing a large amount of heaven and earth spiritual energy. In some mines, it was a very common product.
And the outer layer of this stone did not have a stone shell wrapped around it. It was as if it was completely formed from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Furthermore, unlike the natural spiritual energy inside the Origin Crystals, which had already turned into energy with impurities, although it could not sense the flowing natural spiritual energy, however, the feeling that this stone gave Ye Hongtian was that it was pure solid spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth. This was the Origin Nucleus!
With excitement, Ye Hongtian stored the origin nucleus into the space inside his body and continued to search for other origin nuclei at the bottom of the pool.
Unfortunately, after searching the entire bottom of the pool, he only found one. Although his expression was a bit disappointed, he was still happy in his heart. After all, the spiritual qi of heaven and earth contained in these two origin nuclei was much more than the liquid spiritual qi of heaven and earth in this pool.2
Just as he was about to float to the surface, Jun Qiongyao also climbed to the top of the mountain. Looking at the liquid natural spiritual energy in the pond, she was very excited and couldn't wait to get into the water.
At this time, Ye Hongtian was under Jun Qiongyao's feet. This kick hit right on Ye Hongtian's face, making him choke on two mouthfuls of water.
Jun Qiongyao felt that she had stepped on something, so she slightly moved back. When she wanted to dive down and see what was below, Ye Hongtian just rushed out of the water.
Because Ye Hongtian rushed out too fast, Jun Qiongyao didn't have time to react. Ye Hongtian's head hit her face and she fell into the Gathering Yuan Pool. This was also the same as when Ye Hongtian was stepped on.
After she regained her balance, Jun Qiongyao pointed at Ye Hong Tian and scolded, "Ye Hong Tian, you bastard! You actually hit my face! My nose is about to be crooked by you!"
" Er... This is just an accident. Besides, you stepped on my face first. Even if your nose is crooked, I can help you correct it. Don't worry. " Ye Hong Tian scratched his face and smiled.
Jun Qiongyao was speechless by Ye Hongtian. She stared at Ye Hongtian fiercely for a while and then buried her body into the water. Only her nose was exposed, and she kept spitting bubbles as if she was angry.
Angry? What does that have to do with me?
With this thought, Ye Hongtian began to absorb the liquid spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth in the pond. After a moment, he recalled that he did not see Jiong Yuan and started to look around.
