Chapter 1356: Chapter 1356: Eight Kinds of Rule Power! Fifth Update Newest update provided by ɴovelfire.net After obtaining a beast pill, Ye Qiu did not linger. He was just a step behind the Taiyi Saint Heir in entering, yet he was surpassed by twenty-one beast pills. It must be said, the Taiyi Saint Heir is truly extraordinary, being able to achieve this shows his remarkable prowess. Ye Qiu was not discouraged. According to the hints from that mysterious voice, the deadline was one month. As long as he could rank in the top five within a month, he would naturally enter the next level. Passing through the towering woods, Ye Qiu discovered many lakes. He felt this place resembled more of a small world instead of the interior of a formation. In terms of formations, creating such an environment seems a bit unrealistic. “Could this be an ancient-like small world?” Ye Qiu speculated. With Ge Tian’s might, there might not be a single small world on Earth that escapes his discerning eye. Transforming a small world into a test for selecting a successor isn’t impossible. After all, Ge Tian was once a supreme being who reflected the galaxy. With Ye Qiu’s exploration, he found that this place bore some resemblance to a prehistoric world, where everything was enormously large, especially the creatures and vegetation, like an enlarged version. Ye Qiu also saw many terrifying alien beasts roaming in groups. He didn’t dare to approach easily because those beasts gave him a sense of great danger, even though he was strong, he still faced the risk of dying. “These creatures, why do they look a bit like dinosaurs?” Ye Qiu murmured to himself. He had studied Earth’s history and knew that before the rise of human civilization, there was an era dominated by dinosaurs when humans were merely food and dinosaurs ruled the world. Ye Qiu believed if scientists were brought here, they would be ecstatic, because the creatures here were so similar to dinosaurs. Quickly casting aside unrealistic thoughts, Ye Qiu searched for alien beasts he could easily handle. Not long after, Ye Qiu found a lone wolf-like creature. He directly used the King Yan’s Fury attack and successfully obtained a beast pill. Afterward, Ye Qiu replicated this strategy, targeting solitary alien beasts, which proved almost always successful. The beast pills on him gradually increased, but it seemed he still fell short of entering the top five rankings. While searching for alien beasts, Ye Qiu delightedly discovered this place was also abundant with spirit grass. Along the way, he saw many herbs with ancient years, which were good stuff. Given his identity as an alchemist, he naturally wouldn’t let these spirit grasses go to waste. Unfortunately, he only had one month, so he couldn’t spend all his time picking spirit grass. Otherwise, with the quantity here, it would surely be enough to refine thousands of furnaces of pills. In the days that followed, Ye Qiu continued to hunt alien beasts while picking spirit grass. Meanwhile, others who entered this primitive world also worked hard to battle alien beasts. The weaker alien beasts became fewer as time passed, leaving only the stronger ones. Obtaining beast pills grew increasingly difficult. Many sealers often fought for half a day but wouldn’t necessarily get a single beast pill. This situation didn’t just affect sealers and saints; even the Taiyi Saint Heir faced the same difficulty. Eventually, a few people who had split up decided to join forces to hunt alien beasts and share the beast pills equally. Under such a powerful combination, even strong alien beasts couldn’t escape death, and the beast pills were collected by several people. Many were discussing the rapidly growing number of beast pills obtained by the Taiyi Saint Heir and others. Seeing the beast pills they acquired made some people feel despair, as if they could never catch up. The gap was simply too large. As a result, many people began to form alliances, emulating them to jointly hunt alien beasts. In the end, even the powerful alien beasts became scarce, and many teams started to snatch beasts from each other. Some teams ended up in quarrels, engaging in mutual slaughter. Some believed that this speed was too slow to catch up with the Taiyi Saint Heir and others, so they set their sights on other individuals instead. The battle for snatching beast pills began. Whether sealers or saints, everyone became anxious because some people aimed to seize the beast pills obtained by others, and this situation intensified, escalating into conflicts between humans instead of between humans and alien beasts. The Beast God, appearing as a little girl, showed up in the primitive world, looking quite peculiar. This drew many gazes towards her, but those who targeted the Beast God were all counter-robbed by her. In no time, the Red-Clad Fairy’s name overtook even the Demon Lord Holy Son and Yaochi Son of Saints, reaching the second position. As for Ye Qiu, he had not appeared on the rankings at all and was nearly forgotten. “Where is that Ye Qiu? How has he completely vanished? He was the one bold enough to challenge the Taiyi Saint Heir, yet now he has disappeared,” someone mentioned Ye Qiu. “I think his brilliance has faded, nothing surprising there. He’s just a native of Earth, while the Taiyi Saint Heir is a prodigy from the ancestral land. What does he have to compete with the Taiyi Saint Heir?” another person said disdainfully. If Ye Qiu were still on the scene, following closely behind the Taiyi Saint Heir, nobody would belittle him. But the truth was, Ye Qiu hadn’t appeared on the top five rankings, leading some to believe Ye Qiu was just a fleeting comet. Brilliance was only temporary after all. “What a pity he is, I thought he could contend with the Taiyi Saint Heir. After all, he’s a genius who even managed to slay Protectors.” “Heh, whether it’s really him who killed Elder Wood is quite suspicious. I suspect there’s a more powerful figure behind the scenes, someone mysterious and yet undiscovered, much like the Red-Clad Fairy ranked after Taiyi Saint Heir.” As soon as the Red-Clad Fairy was mentioned, the conversation between the sealers grew even more lively. They discussed what the Red-Clad Fairy really looked like, whether she was as beautiful as the Turquoise Pool Saintess, and so forth. The voices gradually faded, and the few discussants had no idea that just where they had passed, a figure was sitting cross-legged under a tree, eyes closed in meditation, motionless. His white hair had grown to his shoulders, and his face was covered with a thick stubble, long unshaven. Covered in dust, he looked somewhat like a beggar. After a while, this expressionless face suddenly opened its eyes. Two beams of light shot out. He was none other than Ye Qiu. “I didn’t expect this insight to have taken over half a month, while my number of beast pills has been left far behind,” Ye Qiu said softly. He had heard all of the previous conversations, and although he was talking to himself, there was no anxiety on his face, rather a hint of a smile. No matter what, Ye Qiu did not regret consuming more than half a month. He hadn’t wasted it, having spent twenty days comprehending the Rule Power of Wood thoroughly. “Only one of the nine Rule Powers remains!” Ye Qiu smiled slightly and stood up suddenly.
