Chapter 1974: Chapter 871: A Thousand Origin Crystals, Returning to the Ancestral God_2

However, thanks to the elder’s discount, the final quotes were all pleasantly surprising to Han Yi.

He then took out another spatial container containing another treasure.

Upon receiving it, Dongfang Xu continued with the appraisal.

Initially, Dongfang Xu’s emotions fluctuated between complexity and surprise, but as Han Yi continued to produce more treasures, he gradually became numb and his gaze towards Han Yi started to change.

He knew that treasures were abundant inside the Primordial Demon Hall, and many Venerable Sages surged into it, occupying a significant part of the Primordial Demon Dao Domain and even nearby Dao Domains kept flooding in.

Among so many Venerable Sages, managing to snatch so many treasures, Han Yi’s strength was absolutely more formidable than just entering the middle-stage Divine Sovereign.

Although Dongfang Xu was confident in his own abilities, he didn’t believe that had he been in the Primordial Demon Hall five thousand years ago, he would have been invincible and freely captured treasures.

Thinking this, his curiosity towards Han Yi deepened, and he realized that this distinguished elder of his clan was definitely not of ordinary strength, especially combining the fact that early-stage Divine Sovereign Han Yi fought against three middle-stage Divine Sovereigns of the Taiji Divine Race. He deduced that Han Yi could presently possess the combat power of a high-stage Divine Sovereign.

This session of appraisal took a total of six hours to finally conclude.

However, Han Yi had not brought out everything he had obtained in the Primordial Demon Hall.

He had obtained a total of thirteen types of crystals, five Supreme Treasures, and thirty-two Spirit Plants, of which he only brought out eight types of crystals, three Supreme Treasures, and twenty Spirit Plants here.

At the end, after tallying up, Dongfang Xu’s quoted price had already reached a staggering 1,275 Origin Crystals.

This amount of Origin Crystals was equivalent to a medium-scale Origin Crystal vein of the smallest extent.

Origin Crystal veins are extremely rare in Chaos, generally only found in perilous places or places like Ancestral God Star and Dao God Sect. According to the amount of standard Origin Crystals that can be condensed, anything below a thousand is a small-scale, below ten thousand is a medium-scale, and above ten thousand, a large-scale.

Of course, even small-scale Origin Crystal veins are mostly only possessed by high-level Venerable Sages, while those of medium-scale and above can only be possessed by Peak Venerable.

In other words, the treasures Han Yi exchanged from his venture into the Primordial Demon Hall, by only putting out about two-thirds of them, could already match the value of nearly half of a Peak Venerable.

No wonder so many Venerable Sages desperately competed back then in the Primordial Demon Hall.

Such an opportunity is rare across countless Chaos Eras.

And because of the abnormalities of the Master of the Primordial Demon, causing all the Venerable Sages of the Primordial Demon Sect to perish, followed by the appearance of the Lord of Taichu who frightened away the Master of Primordial Demon, the Primordial Demon Hall was preserved intact.

The Venerable Sages who later surged into the Primordial Demon Hall were able to reap immense benefits.

This was completely different from the destruction of Wanming City several Chaos Eras ago.

When Wanming City was destroyed, numerous forces participated, smashing the entire Wanming City, the deputy city lords either died, exploded, or escaped; by the end, even if there were treasures, they were mostly destroyed in the strife.

The Primordial Demon Sect, however, was preserved intact, perfectly exemplifying the saying: “When a whale falls, myriad creatures thrive.”

At the top floor of Taichu Pavilion, Dongfang Xu looked at Han Yi with a complex expression and said, “It totals 1,275 Origin Crystals.”

“This amount of Origin Crystals is too vast, we don’t have so many here in the pavilion, it can only be transferred from the Ancestral God Star.”

“The pavilion has 680 crystals. Since we need some for daily circulation, only 500 can be paid out initially to you.”

“By the way, if Elder Yi wishes to return to the Ancestral God Star, you can directly go to the Taichu Hall to exchange the remaining Origin Crystals. If you do not return, you will need to wait for seven years, when someone from the clan will come.”

After considering for a moment, Han Yi responded, “Then I shall return to the clan.”

“Good, give me your Taichu Order and I’ll inscribe the information on it. Once you’re at the Taichu Hall, you can find the duty Venerable to exchange the remaining Origin Crystals.”

Han Yi handed over the Taichu Order.

He wasn’t worried about Dongfang Xu having any issues. He understood the principle that wealth stirs human hearts, and he had left traces of the previous transaction. If the other party coveted his assets, he could easily make a fuss at the Taichu Hall to have them returned, and even receive compensation.

After all, strength is the true confidence. If he were weak, he wouldn’t dare to be so bold. Now that his strength had reached the High-stage Divine Sovereign, even ordinary High-stage Divine Sovereigns might be inferior to him. This was the confidence that allowed him to act this way.

After Dongfang Xu recorded the information, he returned the Taichu Order to Han Yi. After checking that there were no issues, Han Yi collected the token, then stood up and bowed, saying,

“This time, thank you for your efforts, Elder Xu.”

Dongfang Xu waved his hand and said, “This is within the scope of my duties, it’s not troublesome at all.”

Then, he took out a spatial container and handed it to Han Yi.

“This contains five hundred standard Origin Crystals, most of which are Han Earth Source Crystals. I have inspected them myself, and they are undoubtedly standard Origin Crystals. Elder Yi, please feel free to verify them.”

Han Yi’s eyes flickered, this was the moment he had been eagerly anticipating.

He took the container, his Divine Thoughts delving into it, and saw numerous transparent jade boxes inside, each containing ten Origin Crystals, making a total of fifty Jade Boxes.

In just a moment, Han Yi had checked all the Jade Boxes. With his current strength in Divine Thoughts, he could easily discern that the Source Energy contained within these Origin Crystals all met the standard.

Most of the Origin Crystals were pale blue, which, as Dongfang Xu had mentioned, were Han Shui Yuan Crystals. These belonged to a type of Five Elements property in Chaos, similar to the Ziji, Heavenly Water, Sunflower Water, and Cold Valley Source Crystals Han Yi had encountered before.

Chaos had many properties, and so did Origin Crystals.

Retracting his Divine Thoughts, Han Yi bowed his hand and said, “The Origin Crystals are all in a standard form and without issues.”

After obtaining the Origin Crystals, Han Yi thanked Dongfang Xu and then left the Taichu Pavilion.

After his departure, Dongfang Xu’s expression was complex. After a long while, he still murmured:

“What a pity, such a pity.”

“If I had been there, even If I could not obtain so many treasures, I would definitely have reaped great benefits.”

“So unfortunate.”

The repeated sighs of ‘pity’ reflected the regret in Dongfang Xu’s heart.

…

After leaving the Taichu Pavilion, Han Yi directly left the Chaos Divine City and headed towards the Ancestral God Star. Now his mind was full of Origin Crystals; he had five hundred in hand, but there were still another seven hundred seventy-five crystals he yet to secure, and those unsecured crystals always kept him uneasy.

These amounted to more than twelve hundred Origin Crystals, which converted into Life Seeds would equate to over one hundred million. From his previous estimations, with such a substantial amount of Life Seeds, he had a great chance of advancing to a High-stage Divine Sovereign.

By then, he would dare to contend even with Peak Divine Sovereigns.

With his speed, traveling from Chaos Divine City to Ancestral God Star took merely thirty minutes.

Even with his strength having advanced further, when Han Yi stood outside the vast and boundless Ancestral God Star, observing this planet that was far larger than any Great World he had seen, and where his Divine Thoughts could in no way perceive its borders, the awe he felt didn’t decrease but grew because his power made him revere this planet even more.

He used the Tai Chu Token to authenticate through the Divine Shield outside the Ancestral God Star and then reached the Outer Void of the Ancestral God Star. Originally, in this Void, he, although just Initial-stage, had taken on three High-level Divine beings of the Taiji Divine Race single-handedly.

Overcoming the strong as a weak one, winning across levels, his fame had surged overnight becoming the focus of ten thousand eyes.

Speaking of which, it hadn’t been a long time, only a few thousand years, which for cultivators at the Divine Sovereign level, felt just like yesterday.

Han Yi did not return to the Nangong Clan, but directly made his way towards the homeland of the Taiji Divine Race.

Half an hour later, he arrived at his destination, the Taichu Hall.

In the Taiji Divine Race, only cultivators at the Peak of Infinite Realm could become members of the Taichu Hall and advancing to Divine Sovereign would allow one to become an elder of the Taiji Divine Race, which relatively speaking, was part of the upper echelons.

In Taichu Hall, Han Yi sought the duty Divine Sovereign, produced the Tai Chu Order–the credential to collect Origin Crystals which was stored in the order.

Concerning over seven hundred Origin Crystals, the duty Divine Sovereign called a Middle-stage Divine Sovereign who was presiding over the Taichu Hall. After inspecting, the Middle-stage Divine Sovereign didn’t make things difficult for Han Yi and directly released seven hundred seventy-five Origin Crystals to him.

Han Yi, with the Origin Crystals in hand, showed a joyful expression. Before leaving, he suddenly remembered something and asked:

“Elder Du, may I ask if Elder He has recently been on duty in the hall?”

This presiding Middle-stage Divine Sovereign, called Dongfang Du, was mostly joined by others from the Taichu Clan, also known as the Dongfang family, like Han Yi, who, as a Middle-stage Divine Sovereign from an affiliated clan group, was currently the only one.

The Elder He he mentioned was Dongfang He.

Just then, Dongfang Du suddenly raised his head, with an inexplicable tone, he said: “Elder Yi may not be aware?”

“A thousand years ago, Junior Brother He went to the Burial Disaster Dao Domain and has since fallen.”

Hearing this, Han Yi was completely stunned.
