Chapter 507 Countermeasure (1/2)

Ever since Li Qingchan and Ye Ge’s visit, Zhou Yuan found that Yaoyao had changed somewhat.

The biggest change was that she was spending even more time in the Spirit Rune Hall, and would even return carrying numerous ancient Genesis Rune texts each time for more in depth research.

Zhou Yuan asked if she needed help, but Yaoyao would offhandedly send him away with a wave of her hand.

In response, he could only shrug helplessly. Yaoyao’s seriousness was a good thing after all. She was usually overly uncaring and uninterested in everything, and would only show a little emotion when interacting with Zhou Yuan.

It seemed that she had been slightly angered by Sword Cometh Peak’s overbearing manner, an emotion which undoubtedly made her more full of life.

Hence, Zhou Yuan allowed her to do as she pleased, not disturbing her anymore as he continued to pour his attention into the formation of the Saint Spirit Seed.

Over the subsequent month, Zhou Yuan and Yaoyao busied themselves with their respective projects, one immersing himself in his training, while the other deeply engaged in research.

…

The matter regarding Snow Lotus Peak and Spirit Rune Peak’s offer was ultimately unable to be concealed, causing quite some debate when it spread. Numerous disciples felt that it was rather regretful, because in their opinion, obtaining help from these two peaks would enable Saint Genesis Peak to achieve better results in the upcoming Genesis reservoir ceremony. Moreover, they would also no longer have to worry about the threat of Sword Cometh Peak.

However, Snow Lotus Peak and Spirit Rune Peak’s offer was aimed at Yaoyao, and other disciples naturally had no say.

In addition, Zhou Yuan and Yaoyao were essentially viewed as the bosses who called the shots in Saint Genesis Peak, and the other disciples would not intervene in the duo’s decisions. In any case, all everyone else had to do was follow the two bosses’ lead.

Even so, as the date of the Genesis reservoir gradually approached, a nervous atmosphere began to brew in Saint Genesis Peak. They were after all facing a titan like Sword Cometh peak, which honestly made them appear tiny in comparison.

…

Deep in the mountains.

Zhou Yuan was seated on a boulder overlooking a gorge. A glowing ball of Genesis Qi hovered between his palms, it’s interior akin to a mass of primal chaos. It was a Saint Spirit Seed.

However, this seed appeared to be exceptionally robust and condensed, because it was the amalgamation of seventy seven Beast Spirits...

A Saint Rune swirled in the depths of Zhou Yuan’s pupils, clearly viewing the countless chaotic undulations inside the Saint Spirit Seed as he swiftly searched for their sources to suppress and stabilize them.

With the magical powers of the Decoder Saint Rune, it had undoubtedly become much easier to cultivate the Saint Spirit Seed.

Of course, this was only with respect to before. As the number of fused Beast Spirits slowly grew, Zhou Yuan began to feel some pressure even with the Decoder Saint Rune.

At this current point time, it would basically take all of his concentration and energy to fuse another Beast Spirit into the seed, and not a single mistake could be made. In addition, the process would take a good half of the day.

Bzz bzz!

The embryonic Saint Spirit Seed buzzed faintly, before ultimately settling down, as the glow from the seed grew a little brighter.

“A successful seventy eighth fusion.”

Joy surfaced in Zhou Yuan’s eyes. He was nearly there after an entire month of effort, and hitting ninety was just around the corner.

Once he fused ninety Beast Spirits, the first step would be complete, and the high grade Heaven Genesis technique would begin to display some of its amazing power.

“At this rate, I should be able complete the first step in another ten days!” Zhou Yuan excitedly thought to himself.

“It seems that you’re quite capable, kid.”

While Zhou Yuan was celebrating inside, an elderly voice was heard. He quickly found old Xuan standing nearby, staring at the embryonic seed in front of Zhou Yuan in surprise.

He had not visited over the past few days, only to be shocked by Zhou Yuan’s progress today.
