Chapter 410 First Signs of Taiyi’s Power (2/2)

Such recovery ability would undoubtedly give him a huge advantage in a true life or death battle.

Zhou Yuan nodded in satisfaction. His three days of secluded cultivation were indeed quite fruitful.

*Knock knock*

A knocking sound was heard at this moment, and Zhou Yuan hurriedly got off the bed to open the door.

Li Qingchan stood at the entrance, her gorgeous face covered in a layer of frost as usual. She glanced at Zhou Yuan and said, “If you still didn’t come out, we would have went ahead without you.”

Although her tone was indifferent, it was not hard to hear the faint trace of disapproval within it.

After all, besides that one time flame rocking gambling, Zhou Yuan had basically locked himself in his room for the entire time. Such an attitude was definitely not going to earn him any brownie points.

Zhou Yuan’s spot on the team had basically been protected by her this whole time, but now, even elder Wu seemed as if he had something to say about it. If not because he respected her as a Chosen, he would have likely even chided her about this decision.

Zhou Yuan also felt somewhat awkward upon hearing this, and hastily apologized.

He too understood that though he had told them he was going into secluded cultivation, others would only view it as an excuse. After all, how much could one possibly achieve in a short three days? It was obviously some kind of last-ditch effort.

However, he could not possibly reveal any the Taiyi Green Wood Mark. Thus, he could only apologize without explanation.

Li Qingchan merely let out an almost inaudible snort at Zhou Yuan’s apology as she shook her head and said, “Let’s go. The essence flame vein fight is about to begin, and we need to get ready.”

“Besides this, though you’ve been allocated an area outside the core region this time, don’t even think about complaining. The district you’ve been tasked with is still considered a contribution.” Warned Li Qingchan.

The core region she mentioned was naturally the area with the richest essence flame vein, and where the fighting would also be the most intense. It was basically the battleground of the four hegemon level sects.

However, Zhou Yuan was not going to be sent in, and was instead tasked with some other location outside the core region by elder Wu where the factions from Black Flame Province would be duking it out, and fighting would naturally be less intense.

Of course, his contribution would also naturally be less than the others.

Zhou Yuan gave a faint nod, his expression remaining rather calm.

Li Qingchan did not say anything else and turned to leave.

Zhou Yuan hurriedly followed behind her.

When Zhou Yuan and Li Qingchan arrived at the top floor, elder Wu, Zhao Zhu, Bai Li and the rest were already waiting.

Qin Hai looked towards Zhou Yuan with a wide grin and teasingly said, “Hehe, junior brother Zhou Yuan’s three days of secluded cultivation must have been very beneficial, right?”

Zhou Yuan merely glanced at him without replying.

Elder Wu could not help but sigh as his gaze paused on Zhou Yuan for a moment, likely also feeling his presence to be quite troublesome.

Placing Zhou Yuan outside the core region was was basically giving up land in the core region.

But he had no choice. Zhou Yuan’s strength was nowhere near enough for him to vie with the others.

With a wave of elder Wu’s sleeve, ten dots of light shot out towards Zhou Yuan and the rest.

Zhou Yuan and the rest caught the object, only to find that it was a small thumb-sized piece of jade. The jade flickered with a peculiar gleam, and a Genesis Rune had been carved into it.

“This is a communication jade which will allow one to briefly communicate within a thousand mile radius. I’ve given one to each of you to be used inside the essence flame vein to share information.” Elder Wu explained.

Li Qingchan, Zhao Zhu and the rest nodded before placing the jade into their ears.

Upon seeing this, elder Wu waved his sleeve as Genesis Qi spread from under his feet. It took on the shape of a cloud that encompassed Li Qingchan, Zhao Zhu, Zhou Yuan and the rest of the team.

“Let’s go.”

As his voice faded, the Genesis Qi cloud had already brought the group into the sky.

Meanwhile, countless glowing figures rose into the sky from the giant Black Flame City. Like a swarm of locusts, they flew towards the far away Black Flame Mountain Range.

The battle to decide the allocation the essence flame vein in the Black Flame Province was finally about to begin.
