Chapter 544 Splitting the Genesis Essence (2/2)

Chch!

The foot-wide Genesis essence was split into pieces, the cut edges smooth as a mirror. Due to its extreme concentration, the ten thousand foot aquatic beast’s Genesis essence was basically a solid that was filled with wondrous undulations.

“This is yours.” Li Qingchan tossed the biggest chunk to Zhou Yuan.

Zhou Yuan hastily caught it. He looked at his share, and hesitated for a moment, before he said, “There seems to be some extra?”

Li Qingchan glanced at Yaoyao and said, “Someone fought for another ten percent on your behalf.”

Zhou Yuan felt rather moved as he also looked towards Yaoyao. He knew best about Yaoyao’s indifference, and it was indeed very extraordinary for her to voluntarily speak up about something.

Yaoyao also received her portion of the Genesis essence. It was much smaller than Zhou Yuan’s, but that was normal, because everyone else’s share was similarly less than his.

Another piece of Genesis essence flew towards Tuntun. It happily wagged its tail, practically drooling as it pounced forward to swallow its reward in a single gulp.

However, a slender, fair hand suddenly reached out at this moment and caught the piece.

Roar!

Tuntun immediately released an angry roar as it turned its head. However, when it saw the owner of the hand, it quickly let out a terrified and pitiful wail.

Yaoyao gently stroked its head, as a very rarely seen faint beautiful smile was revealed. “Can you let Zhou Yuan use the Genesis essence this time?”

Tuntun shook its head like a rattle-drum. Of course not!

“Oh?” Yaoyao’s faint smile receded as her clear eyes looked towards Tuntun.

Tuntun immediately shivered in response, before it dejectedly ran to the side while whimpering.

Li Qingchan and the other Chosens could not help but look at Tuntun in pity. It had previously been on the frontlines with Shang Chunqiu against the ten thousand foot aquatic beast, and had received quite a number of blows. But in the end, the hardfought Genesis essence had been snatched away before it could even reach Tuntun’s mouth!

Chu Qing sighed at Ye Ge as he indignantly said, “Do you see that, that devil girl is heartless! That little fellow is so adorable and great at fighting, but look at how it’s treated!”

He cast a gaze filled with desire and envy at Tuntun as he said, “I wonder what kind of Genesis Beast it is. *Sigh*, if only it was mine, I could use it whenever I have to fight in the future.”

Ye Ge rolled his eyes.

Yaoyao passed the two portions of Genesis essence in her hand to Zhou Yuan.

At the sight of the dejected Tuntun, Zhou Yuan felt a little reluctant to accept. “Maybe you should return the Genesis essence to it.”

Yaoyao calmly said, “Don’t be so indecisive. The Mythic Utopia is about to open, and given your current abilities, if you don’t use this chance to grow stronger, how will you be able to vie with the other geniuses? Do you think the Mythic Utopia will be like the small squabbles here in the Cangxuan Sect? Even Chosens may die inside, let alone someone like you.”

“If you feel that it's unfair to Tuntun, you should raise your strength. There will definitely be even better things than the ten thousand foot aquatic beast’s Genesis essence in the Mythic Utopia, which you can use to repay Tuntun.”

Zhou Yuan let out a bitter laugh, deciding not to argue. He received the Genesis essence and earnestly said, “I will find something good for Tuntun in the Mythic Utopia!”

Only then did Yaoyao give a small nod of approval.

After splitting the Genesis essence from the ten thousand foot aquatic beast, the endless waves of aquatic beasts that were attacking the island also began to retreat in the wake of the ten thousand foot aquatic beast’s death.

Countless aquatic beasts hissed as they withdrew, scattering in all directions along with the waves.

On the island, the disciples of the seven peaks finally breathed a heavy sigh of relief as they watched the retreating aquatic beast tide. They were already near their limits, and would only have been able to hold on a little longer.

As their taut nerves began to relax, countless gazes looked towards the group of Chosens in the sky, before thunderous cheers erupted.

The Genesis reservoir crisis that had occurred before a hundred years ago, had been successfully overcome by the joint efforts of the seven peaks.

As cheers filled the sky, sect master Qing Yang’s boom voice echoed across the land.

“Congratulations disciples…”

“You’ve passed the Genesis reservoir ceremony!”
