Chapter 561 Gathering (1/2)

Tri-colored light rose from the remains of the Mythic Copper Worm Tree, making the air seem a little more colorful, while a strange fragrance filled the area.

Gu Hongyi, Zhou Tai and the other disciples stared at the tri-colored light with happiness in their eyes, while stirring restlessly as if unable to control themselves.

Fortunately, they did not allow their rationality to be washed away, and instead turned their gazes towards Zhou Yuan. He was currently their leader, and they would await his instructions.

In addition, if not for Zhou Yuan’s lightning quick attack earlier that had slayed the worm hidden inside the copper tree, it would have been really difficult for them to destroy it.

Zhou Yuan watched the tri-color light continuously flow out from the broken trunk, as amazement flitted across his eyes. His Qi Dwelling had started to tremble in desire the moment the light appeared.

From this, one could see just how attractive the Mythic Genesis essence was to the Qi Dwelling.

“Everyone split into seven groups to collect the Mythic Genesis essence, while one group stands guard. The guard shift will rotate amongst all the groups.” Zhou Yuan looked at the many disciples and said, “The Mythic Genesis essence will surely cause quite a disturbance, and may draw prying gazes.”

The other disciples' expressions shivered when they heard this. There were indeed several factions in the area, and if the Mythic Genesis essence was discovered by them, the Cangxuan Sect disciples would have to face some trouble.

The Mythic Genesis essence was just far too valuable in the Mythic Utopia, and everyone would definitely compete for it.

After a brief discussion, about ten figures flew out from the big group and landed on various spots in the vicinity, before vigilantly watching the surroundings for any signs of activity.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Yuan nodded and said, “Go ahead and start collecting, as for how much each of you will collect, that will depend on your own abilities.”

The moment his words rang out, all of the remaining disciples began to split up, each finding a spot for themselves, before Genesis Qi began rising from their heads to gather the tri-color flowing light.

Zhou Yuan sat down near the broken trunk, where there was obviously the highest concentration of Mythic Genesis essence. He did not bother trying to act modest. As the leader, he was the strongest individual here and had the right to enjoy the best treatment.

Golden Genesis Qi rose from the top of Zhou Yuan’s head, forming a glowing ball that began to spin. A suction force emerged from a hole on the top portion of the ball, absorbing strand after strand of tri-color light.

The tri-color light was not pure Mythic Genesis essence, and had to be constantly compressed and refined while being collected to become true Mythic Genesis essence. This was the only way to create a Divine Establishing Treasure.

Though it was a tedious and slow process, Zhou Yuan did not show any impatience. He calmly gathered the tri-color light for an incense stick of time, before beckoning with his hand.

The golden light ball slowly descended as the bottom split open, revealing a resplendent tri-color glow.

The other disciples looked over in envy. They were only half way, while Zhou Yuan had already succeeded. One could see that there was indeed quite a gap in power between the two parties.

The refined tri-color light was somewhat viscous as it quietly swirled on Zhou Yuan’s palm. It gave off a cooling sensation akin to jade, and Zhou Yuan could feel a mysterious power within it. His Qi Dwelling shuddered as the ten thousand Genesis Qi stars inside twinkled brightly.

“So this the true Mythic Genesis essence…”

Zhou Yuan concentrated on the viscous tri-color light in his hand as a sliver of desire flitted across his eyes. Next, he opened his mouth and swallowed it in a single gulp.

The viscous tri-color light flowed into his body, heading straight into the Qi Dwelling, before slowly swirling about within it.

A tri-color glow spread, dying the Genesis Qi stars as they quietly grew brighter as if being refined.

However, this little bit of Mythic Genesis essence was clearly far from enough to create a Divine Establishing Treasure.
