Chapter 535: Chapter 410: Stabilizing the Universe, Refining the Treasure Ship (4K+ Seeking Monthly Tickets and Subscriptions)_2

The three from Jin Yushan showed slight changes in their expressions after hearing this.

They handed the ship over to Chen Yuan, though internally they felt a bit unwilling. After all, they were not saints and inevitably harbored some greed. Although the Creation Land was tainted by malevolent thoughts, it wasn’t beyond cleansing, making it immensely valuable. Yet they felt that its ownership wasn’t theirs since they didn’t put in much effort, so they ultimately left it to Chen Yuan to handle.

However, Chen Yuan’s words and actions were remarkably open and frank. Regardless of how you looked at it, the three felt comforted hearing them, and their slight unwillingness gradually dissipated into thin air with every passing word.

Similarly, Chen Yuan’s conduct led the three Grand Protectors to elevate their belief in him to a new level!

"I understand, then thank you, Brother Chen!" Jin Yushan no longer declined, gazing deeply at Chen Yuan. This Ninth Mountain’s Colonel, instead of taking credit, modestly and tactfully considered their feelings, which was quite rare.

He seemed to finally comprehend why this Colonel had gained such immense fame in Shu and was followed by countless Shu soldiers.

Hu Yanqing and Yu Wenguang also understood and did not refuse further.

"Brother Chen, you’ve truly secured my loyalty!" Hu Yanqing, who was usually outspoken with a rough demeanor, now had a serious expression and patted his chest.

Chen Yuan laughed heartily, "Honored indeed!"

After speaking, he cupped his fist towards the three, "Since I have obtained the treasure ship, I plan to seize this opportunity to refine it in hopes of enhancing my strength before engaging in battle with the Demons. I ask that you act as protectors for me!"

He intended to quickly test his abilities.

"Of course, if Brother Chen can gain even a bit more strength, it’ll increase our chances of safely escaping!" Jin Yushan spoke solemnly, stepping forward attentively.

Chen Yuan nodded, saying no more, then his eyes flashed golden as he surveyed the surroundings. At this time, the setting sun was like blood, with yellow sand everywhere, and nothing seemed amiss.

However, he planned to change locations, not wanting to stay in one place for too long; with that thought, he moved his feet to the right side of the desert.

Thirty miles later, behind a sand dune in the shade, he once again surveyed the area with his Dharma Eye, confirming no anomalies, then communicated to the three from Taisui Mountain who had followed him, swiftly disappearing from sight.

A breath or two later, the three from Jin Yushan landed on the sand dune where Chen Yuan had just vanished. At this point, they could no longer sense Chen Yuan’s presence.

But they knew he was beneath this part of the desert.

The three then separated, flying off in three directions from this central point, covering an area of several miles, finding a spot to land and meditate while remaining vigilant, protecting Chen Yuan. Meanwhile, they swallowed some Elixir to recover from the fatigue incurred over their ceaseless journey.

After all, the Heaven and Earth Qi here was thin, and they could only rely on Elixir for restoration!

As the winds blew and sand spiraled, time passed, and night fell, their figures gradually covered by the yellow sand.

On the other side, in the place where Chen Yuan vanished, several hundred meters underground, amidst thick rock layers,

a vast cavern had been carved out, covered with seven or eight layers of Spirit Light on its surface, with strong Prohibition waves emanating from it.

In the middle of the cavern, Chen Yuan stood in the air, retracting his hands after setting up the Prohibition, having deployed seven or eight layers at once.

Firstly, to prevent the fluctuations from refining the large ship from leaking out, and secondly as a precaution, for this area wasn’t safe. Though he hadn’t encountered any Demons yet, the bizarre scenario encountered when retrieving the treasure ship with the Phoenix Eye held a mark in his mind.

Why did those two creatures suddenly kneel at the end, bizarre and eerie?

At that moment, when using the Azure Dragon and Fire Phoenix Divine Treasures, the creatures appeared to be kneeling not towards him, but towards the Fire Phoenix.

He was uncertain, nor did he attempt to verify further, choosing to depart swiftly. Fortunately, the creatures did not pursue him.

Now two days had passed without incident, making him much calmer, yet the thought still lingered occasionally, prompting precaution using his Magic Eye Golden Light within the Prohibition.

With this thought, he sat cross-legged in the middle of the air, calming his mind, eliminating distractions, adjusting his breath, bringing himself to peak condition.

After thirty minutes, Chen Yuan opened his eyes, a Divine Light withdrawing within, then waved his Flying Sleeves downward. With a rumbling sound, an ancient great ship emerged, resembling a whale, producing sounds akin to waves as it collided with the airflow.

As the treasure ship landed on the ground, white mist began to rise beneath the cavern floor. The ground slowly cracked, and clear water splashed forth, creating the sound of rushing water and waves crashing.

Chen Yuan watched this scene quietly, a look of anticipation in his eyes, slowly shifting his gaze towards the pitch-dark cabin, showing a somber expression.

He needed to seal the Universe within, before gradually refining the ship, storing it within his Divine Treasure, purging the malevolent thoughts with his whole-body Divine Skills over time, and refining the Universe within.

Success or failure hinged on the smoothness of this first step.

A glint of electricity appeared in Chen Yuan’s eyes, emitting a low shout from his throat, then his hands pinched into a seal, continuously changing before converging at his own Dantian.

Suddenly, his abdomen’s Dantian heated up, a grain of golden light buzzed and trembled.

The next second, this golden light shot up from his navel, traversing the Qi Sea, Guanzhong, Shen Que, Purple Palace, Xuanji, all the way up to the throat’s Twelve Story Building, finally emerging abruptly from Chen Yuan’s head.

Instantly, the golden light blazed like a Great Sun, a golden sun ascended, illuminating the entire cavern with this Pure Yang Golden Core.

"Go!"

Chen Yuan pointed downward, commanding with his voice.

The golden sun dashed towards the great ship below, swiftly diving into the pitch-black cabin.

In an instant, white lights flickered between the portholes as the cabin began to tremble, emitting screeching noises as if a single drop of water had entered a pot of boiling oil, causing an immediate boil.

Following this, the white light flickered as if flames wavered uncertainly.

Outside the ship, Chen Yuan observed this scene, his expression calm as his hands rubbed together, producing crackling sounds, and the Five-Colored Thunder leapt forth.

Then, with a slap of both hands, two Thunder Pillars poured forth, thundering into the Universe within the ship, with Thunder Snakes engulfing the entire cabin instantly.

Yet that wasn’t the end. Amidst a dragon roar and phoenix cry, a green light and red light shot out from his body, directly crashing inside as well.

Furthermore, Chen Yuan tore apart the air with his hands, unleashing golden Fire River and multitude of Red Fire Crystal Stones cascaded down harshly. He employed all methods at disposal into the fray.

This time, unlike two days ago when suppressing "Marquis Wen An," the ship now stood as an ownerless entity, not requiring such aggressive urgency. Yet, in a sense, it was riskier because this task involved patience for finesse. Chen Yuan temporarily suppressed the polluted Creation Land to prevent the core malice from leaking, intending to refine the ship into his third Divine Treasure, absorbing it into his body, which naturally entailed greater danger and necessitated careful action.

Therefore, Chen Yuan employed every formidable and fierce Divine Skill, all at once, causing the porthole on the cabin to burst into dazzling flames, illuminating the entire ship and gradually infusing it with vitality.

Seeing this, Chen Yuan took a deep breath, his eyes turning earnest.

He was about to begin!

After the thought, he exhaled a golden fire line from his mouth, which grew with the wind, swiftly enveloping the great ship.

Under the embrace of the golden Elixir Fire, the ship slowly hummed, waves crashing, producing a fierce sizzling sound against the golden Elixir Fire, causing mist to rise, and the golden Elixir Fire even weakened a bit.

Chen Yuan watched this scene, feeling pleased rather than frightened, confirming that his assumption was almost entirely correct; there truly was something special about the ship’s body.

He increased his True Qi, with the Dragon Qi Mother Tree inside his Divine Treasure swaying continuously.

Moreover, at the moment Chen Yuan slowly refined the treasure ship, attempting to achieve his third Divine Treasure, far away, thousands of miles distant, the three from Enlightenment Mountain, dispatched to Zhen Nan Prefecture to seek information on the Demon Transmission Array, stirred a commotion!
