Chapter 10, Gaining Opportunities

Hand over the person! Otherwise, this place today will be the burial ground of your dark emperor's fall!

"Hehe, the mighty Black Emperor has hidden like a mouse for so many years, which is truly lamentable..." An emotionless voice descended from above, and as the sound spread, this space rapidly collapsed

Cang Yuan gazed at the place where the two had disappeared, his expression tinged with a hint of sadness, and softly said: "The Zhou family... indeed as that old fellow said, I can still take on another disciple, but how the future unfolds will depend on his own fortune."

Light filled his eyes, and just as the space began to distort, Zhou Yuan heard the deep voice of Cang Yuan, in which there seemed to be a hint of pleading.

Oh? Zhou Yuan was astonished, wondering if the Sacred Source Weapon could still be salvaged

Those source patterns all erupted with brilliant light at this moment, the radiance rising like a blazing sun, while the once desiccated body of the Abyss suddenly expanded at this instant

He roared to the heavens, his voice waves rampaging. In the next moment, with a stamp of his foot, his massive body shot up violently, colliding thunderously with the boundless ocean of thunder descending from the sky

The aged body, slightly hunched, but at the moment of standing up, the black robe slowly billowed, emanating an indescribable aura of terror, as if a slumbering angry dragon was thoroughly awakening at that very moment

Ha ha, come, come, come, today I shall see whose burial ground this is!

Zhou Yuan felt a sense of confusion in his heart, but wisely refrained from asking further. The figures before him, Cang Yuan and Yao Yao, were undoubtedly shrouded in mystery, and there must be another story behind them.

"Right now, leave immediately!" Cangyuan said in a deep voice, with a hint of sternness in his tone

However, the mottled black pen that Zhou Yuan holds in his hand, which appears to possess no power, unexpectedly turns out to be a Sacred Source Weapon

After Cangyuan finished speaking, he no longer paid attention to Zhou Yuan, but turned his head to look at the girl in the blue dress. The latter lightly bit her glistening lips, her bright eyes slightly lowered, revealing a hint of sorrow in her gaze as if she was about to part.

The entire space begins to shatter at this very moment

Well, well, after resting for so many years, this old body is almost rusting; it is time to move a bit..." Cangyuan smiled and then slowly stood up from the lounge chair.

Upon witnessing this, Cangyuan immediately pointed with his finger, and the surrounding source patterns suddenly erupted with radiance. The light converged and swiftly enveloped both Zhou Yuan and Yao Yao.

As for how this Tianyuan pen becomes a weapon to battle against others, you will naturally understand when you illuminate its first source pattern

With a wave of the sleeve of the Cangyuan robe, the ground in front of the thatched cottage was suddenly filled with swirling dust, followed by the emergence of ancient patterns. Upon closer inspection, it was evident that these were profound and inscrutable source patterns.

The old man in black, seeing Zhou Yuan's expression, couldn't help but say irritably: "Do you really think I am so stingy as to give you a piece of junk? Although the Tianyuan Pen has been severely damaged, it is still a Sacred Source Weapon and retains some spiritual essence. As long as you nurture it day and night, it might gradually recover.

In the distant sky, a thunderous storm descended, overwhelming the land. Among it, three figures, entirely enveloped in lightning, slowly descended. As they appeared, a terrifying pressure emanated from their bodies, enveloping the entire world, akin to divine beings.

The young girl in blue had slightly red eyes, yet she did not display any signs of crying. Instead, she deeply bowed towards the vast abyss and then stepped into the source pattern, standing beside Zhou Yuan

The resounding sound of the great bell in his mind gradually faded after lasting for a considerable moment, and Zhou Yuan was also able to sense that the soul-forging technique titled "Chaos Divine Grinding Visualization" was imprinted in his mind

The old man said, "It was once a Sacred Source weapon." The old man in black sighed lightly and continued, "This Heavenly Origin Brush has accompanied me in countless battles, but it was severely damaged and destroyed in one of those fights."

Zhou Yuan then understood that it was originally a Sacred Source weapon that had been destroyed

Zhou Yuan closed his eyes and murmured to himself

Furthermore, if the jade pendant's fire lotus ignites, one must be cautious, for they are coming for you

Since she could remember, she had been living here with Cangyuan, who was undoubtedly the closest person to her. Therefore, even with her indifferent mindset, she still felt a sense of sorrow.

Before the thatched cottage, a brilliant light surged, and a fierce wind arose. In the next moment, the figures of Zhou Yuan and Yao Yao vanished into thin air, leaving only the source patterns on the ground, which still shimmered with light. However, after a while, they too completely disappeared without leaving a trace.

Are we leaving now?" Zhou Yuan was taken aback; this was rather swift and decisive, wasn't it?

Their cold gazes were also cast far upon the figure of Cangyuan

However, this was not the time for enlightenment, so Zhou Yuan opened his eyes and respectfully bowed to the smiling old man in black before him, saying: "Thank you, Master, for bestowing the teachings"

Cangyuan gently patted the little hand of the girl in blue, and then spoke slowly

Zhou Yuan noticed the gaze of Cang Yuan, so he quickly stepped forward and walked into the patterns formed by the source lines, while the girl in the green attire held the small beast named Tun Tun, staring blankly at Cang Yuan

Hehe, it is simple. The Tianyuan Pen possesses spirit; if you can nourish it with the soul of a source beast, it will naturally be able to gradually restore its power

Zhou Yuan, remember the promise you made to your master, you must protect her well

The legendary Holy Source weapons are said to possess indescribable power, capable of scorching mountains and boiling seas, evoking both desire and fear among the people

Go ahead, there may not be a day in the future when we do not meet again. " Cangyuan waved his hand.

This tranquility, the duration of which is unknown, was suddenly interrupted as Cangyuan opened his tightly shut eyes, gazing blankly into the void

But why do this

Boom!

You may leave

Cang Yuan fell silent, not answering Yao Yao's question. He simply placed the jade pendant gently in Yao Yao's hand, and then turned to Zhou Yuan, speaking in a deep voice: "Zhou Yuan, remember, do not let Yao Yao break the seal and use the source energy, otherwise, it will surely bring disaster."

As Cangyuan took a step forward, his upper garments instantly tore apart, revealing a withered body. However, upon that body were etched intricate and ancient source patterns, each of which emanated a terrifying fluctuation

The earth began to collapse, and the forests also fell down one after another

He shook his head, suppressing his emotions, and slowly leaned back in the lounge chair, gently rocking it.

The old man in black, upon hearing this, smiled faintly and said: "Cangyuan, this is my name. Additionally, I have two disciples, who can be considered your senior brothers. If fate allows, we may meet again in the future; if not, then so be it"

Master, please rest assured! I shall bear the cause of your transmission of the teachings and will certainly accept the fruits of protection that follow

Moreover, this black pen in hand appears rather fragile; how can it be used to harm the enemy

He could faintly sense that both the Qi Drawing Technique and the Soul Forging Technique were not ordinary items. The old man in black before him, though mysterious, indeed granted him a great opportunity

Zhou Yuan fell silent; he keenly sensed that Cang Yuan was likely trying to drive them away, suggesting that something was about to happen here

Boom boom boom

In the heavens and the earth, suddenly a violent thunder roared, as if a thunderous waterfall was descending from the distant sky, tearing apart this space with an extremely brutal demeanor

In just a few breaths, a towering giant stands between heaven and earth, exuding an overwhelming aura that sweeps through with unrestrained ferocity

Cangyuan heard the indifferent cold shout that resonated through heaven and earth, and a hint of sarcastic amusement appeared at the corner of his mouth, followed by a thunderous laugh that echoed throughout the surroundings

Zhou Yuan felt a slight tremor in his heart as he glanced at the faintly visible light pattern between Yao Yao's eyebrows. It turned out that it was actually a seal. This implies that Yao Yao was not unable to utilize her source energy, but rather, she had been sealed...

These nine source patterns represent the power of the Heavenly Origin Pen. If one day you are able to illuminate all nine source patterns, then it will be able to restore the power of the Sacred Source Weapon

Yao Yao, I know you have many questions for me, but now is not the time. Take this, and if there is an opportunity in the future, perhaps you will come to know.

However, Miss Qingyi was still immersed in the sorrow of separation and had no time to pay attention to him.

The old man in black waved his hand, hesitated for a moment, and suddenly reached into his bosom, taking out a black pen approximately one foot long. The pen resembled one cast in bronze, its surface mottled with colors, as if it had endured the passage of time, imparting a sense of antiquity.

In this world, source weapons are categorized into four levels: ordinary, mysterious, heavenly, and sacred. According to Zhou Yuan's knowledge, the strongest source weapon of the Zhou royal family is the Nine Flame Spear held by his father, yet it is merely a high-quality mysterious source weapon

So you have finally come

Zhou Yuan lowered his head and saw that the black pen, with its mottled body, faintly displayed nine ancient and intricate source patterns that were barely visible, but they were too dim to be easily discerned

Saint Source Soldier? ! '' Zhou Yuan gasped in shock, staring in disbelief at the mottled ancient black pen in his hand, his eyes filled with incredulity

"How can it be activated?" Zhou Yuan said with great interest. If he could restore the power of this Sacred Source Weapon, it would undoubtedly be a tremendous boost for him

The old man in black gently rubbed the black pen, seemingly reluctant to part with it, but in the end, he handed it to Zhou Yuan and said: "Consider this as a gift from your master for our first meeting"

These source patterns are evidently identical to the source patterns on the stone platform from which Zhou Yuan came

Although he knew that restoring the Tianyuan Pen to the level of the Sacred Source Weapon would not be simple, Zhou Yuan still nodded gently. The Tianyuan Pen spun flexibly at his fingertips, and he smiled again at the old man in black, saying, "Then I thank you, Master, for bestowing the pen. However, until now, I still do not know your esteemed name, Master"

In the entire universe, there is a profound silence

Sigh, foolish child, in life, there are no feasts that do not come to an end. Cangyuan sighed softly, then fell silent for a moment. Suddenly, he took out a jade pendant from his bosom. The pendant emitted a faint glow, and on it, a nine-petaled fire lotus was faintly burning, with each petal displaying a different color

Zhou Yuanyi was taken aback, feeling somewhat puzzled. The Source Pattern Pen is a medium specifically used for depicting source patterns, while the Source Soldier is intended for combat purposes. The two should belong to different categories; how could they converge in one body

Her heart is filled with mysteries. Who are they? Why has she lived here alone with Grandpa Hei since she can remember, as if she is hiding from something.

"Hey, I have indeed been underestimated," the old man in black observed from Zhou Yuan's expression and couldn't help but chuckle. "This pen is called the Tianyuan Pen, and it was once a sacred source weapon."

"Master, rest assured, I have remembered it," Zhou Yuan said earnestly

Buzz

"Who are they? Why are they looking for me?" Yao Yao said anxiously

However, the black pen appears somewhat dull, lacking its luster, as if it has lost its spirit.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yuan's eyes brightened as he looked towards the young lady in the green attire beside him. He had originally been worried that practicing alone might lead to mistakes, but he did not expect this young lady to be so unassuming. It seems he would need to curry her favor more in the future

Is this the source pattern pen? Zhou Yuan asked curiously

"It is both a source pattern pen and a source weapon," the old man in black said with a smile

Cangyuan nodded and said: "In the future, if you have any questions regarding your cultivation, you can always seek out Yaoyao. She has been with me for many years and has long since exhausted my foundational teachings. Of course, this depends on whether she is in a good mood or not"

Moreover, with his current abilities, he is probably not yet qualified to know stories of that level

Of course, the higher the rank of the source beast's soul, the greater the effect

Cang Yuan gazed at the apocalyptic scene, his aged face remained calm, merely muttering to himself

Zhou Yuangong respectfully took the black pen, feeling its slight weight in his hand. He gazed at the ancient patterns on the pen's body, faintly sensing a sharp aura.

The old man in black pointed at the black pen and said, "Do you see the nine source patterns on it?"
