Chapter 738: Chapter 393: An Egg Hits a Stone "Boom!" A deafening explosion resounded. A powerful shockwave rippled through the air above the lake surface. Suddenly, golden light burst forth above the lake, dazzling and imposing. "That is..." Ji Ziyue’s gaze locked onto the light, an unprecedented shock flashing in his eyes. "That’s the Mystic Yellow Qi!" Ji Ziyue’s voice carried a faint tremor. "What? Mystic Yellow Qi? What is that?" Gu Sheng grabbed Ji Ziyue, desperately ascending upward with all his might. "It’s the foundation of all spatial energy, the legendary essence of heaven and earth. I never thought I’d witness it with my own eyes today!" Ji Ziyue explained. Gu Sheng could also feel the vastness and profundity of this force. He understood that this was an embodiment of the Laws of Heaven and Earth. Gu Sheng gripped Ji Ziyue’s hand tightly, hoping to break through the wall of air quickly. At this moment, the golden Mystic Yellow Qi above the lake rotated slowly, forming an enormous wheel of light. Its radiance pierced through the wall of air, even beginning to affect the contracting vortex. The Mystic Yellow Qi and the Yin-Yang Qi seemed to be engaged in a silent clash, their forces interweaving and colliding in the sky, creating waves of spatial turbulence. The power of the Mystic Yellow Qi far exceeded the expectations of Gu Sheng and Ji Ziyue. Not only did it devour the previously existing Yin-Yang Qi, but it seemed almost sentient, forming a cluster of golden radiance like a tangible sword of light, pressing toward the two. "Not good!" Gu Sheng’s expression changed. With a loud roar, he gathered all his Divine Power, thrusting both hands forward fiercely. Facing the onslaught of Mystic Yellow Qi’s golden light, Gu Sheng planned to give it his all in a desperate attempt. However, the immense power of the Mystic Yellow Qi rendered his resistance entirely futile, like trying to stop a storm with a blade of grass. "Break!" Gu Sheng roared, then pulled Ji Ziyue, attempting to dodge to the side. Yet under such overwhelming pressure, their movements were agonizingly slow. "Szzzz!" The golden radiance locked onto them, pursuing relentlessly. "Boom!" A thunderous crash echoed as the golden light struck the pair, forcing them from the air back onto the lake surface. "Splash!" The lake erupted in a massive spray of water, sending them crashing back into it. The surrounding wall of air, like an invisible prison, trapped them within this confined space. Above, the crushing pressure of the Mystic Yellow Qi loomed; around them, the air wall constrained them; below, the lake plunged into unfathomable depths. Gu Sheng and Ji Ziyue were once again thrust into a life-or-death crisis. "What do we do? What do we do!?" The growing pressure from the lake and the tightening air walls sent both into a tense panic. Gu Sheng gripped Ji Ziyue’s hand firmly, steadying his voice as he said, "Focus. We cannot give up! If we’re forced back to the bottom of the lake, we’ll never resurface." His voice rang clearly in Ji Ziyue’s ear. But Ji Ziyue, who knew more about the Mystic Yellow Qi, understood the magnitude of the challenge they faced. The *East Desolation Ancient Scripture* had recorded: a strand of Mystic Yellow Qi could suppress an entire mountain. And now, Gu Sheng wasn’t just facing a single strand of Mystic Yellow Qi—it was the very source of it! To charge through recklessly would be like smashing an egg against a stone. "I thought escaping the Yin-Yang Qi’s assault and breaking free from the Bronze Immortal Palace was the end of it. Who would’ve thought we’d run into Mystic Yellow Qi? How unlucky!" Ji Ziyue wore an expression of utter despair. "What’s wrong? Thinking of giving up?" Gu Sheng let out a faint laugh, as if unbothered. "What else? The Mystic Yellow Qi above us will crush us into meat paste. Me, the proud Miss Ji family, dying in a lake, eaten by fish and shrimp... My heart just... boohoo..." As she spoke, tears streamed down Ji Ziyue’s face. The growing pressure of the lake and the Mystic Yellow Qi left them in an increasingly dire predicament. Gu Sheng knew full well that sinking completely below the lake would lead to a perilous and irreversible situation. He struggled desperately, Divine Power roaring within him as he tried to find a way out of their plight. In his desperation, Gu Sheng devised a risky plan: to use his "Cauldron" to absorb the energy of the Mystic Yellow Qi, counteracting the crushing force. "Enough crying, watch me!" Gu Sheng shouted loudly. Ji Ziyue froze momentarily, bewildered. She asked anxiously, "What are you planning to do?" Gu Sheng didn’t answer, focusing entirely on channeling the power of the "Cauldron." Only then did Ji Ziyue realize his intentions. "No! Your ’Cauldron’ hasn’t reached that level yet. How can it possibly withstand such immense energy? This is too dangerous!" Ji Ziyue hurriedly tried to stop him. Clenching his teeth, Gu Sheng declared, one word at a time, "There’s no other way. We have to try!" Ignoring Ji Ziyue’s protests, Gu Sheng steadied his resolve. His hands moved rapidly, forming seals as True Qi surged through his body, giving rise to a complex Array. With the Array complete, Gu Sheng summoned his "Cauldron." This "Cauldron" was a Magical Treasure he had cultivated for years, used to store and refine various energies. Although its strength was not yet sufficient to contend with the Mystic Yellow Qi, Gu Sheng had no other options. As the "Cauldron" appeared, Gu Sheng directed the Mystic Yellow Qi toward it. At first, only sparse strands of Mystic Yellow Qi were absorbed by the "Cauldron." But as Gu Sheng intensified the power of the Array, the "Cauldron" began absorbing the Mystic Yellow Qi at an accelerating pace. Ji Ziyue stood by nervously, knowing this was a race against time.
